LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

- 2. What is a Risk Assessment? ◼ A Risk Assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. ◼ (Source – Health and Safety Executive HSE)
- 3. Why should we do Risk Assessments ? ◼ Legal – requirement by law - under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and individual organisations health and safety policies required under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 ◼ Financial – less chance of claims and prosecutions ◼ Moral – Duty of care owed to all Employees and others affected by our work
- 4. What information should a Risk Assessment include ? 1. Hazards (what could go wrong) 2. People at Risk (who might be harmed) 3. Control measures at present (have enough precautions been taken) 4. Further action required (should more be done) 5. Record details and keep the assessment under review Source – HSE ‘5 steps to risk assessment’ guidance.
- 5. Who is responsible for doing the risk assessments ? Your Organisations health and Safety policy will outline who is responsible for completing the risk assessments. In a school the overall responsibility for ensuring risk assessments are completed is that of the Headteacher and Governing Body. However Heads of individual departments will most likely be responsible for ensuring that all reasonably foreseeable significant risks are assessed and managed effectively. There will also be a line of accountability to the Headteacher and Governing Body outlined in the policy.
- 6. Are there any standard Risk Assessments available to use ? Yes – there are lots of examples and models available to get you started or assist the process. CYPS provides models for schools on the RGFL portal page and RMBC intranet site. There are also specialist models available from CLEAPSS covering science, Art and D & T, AfPE covering sport and PE risks, EVOLVE covering educational visits risks etc
- 7. What risks exist in and around school ? Examples include: Safeguarding, supervision of pupils and site security Educational visits Use, handling, storage and transport of articles and substances eg COSHH / equipment etc Use of equipment eg PE apparatus Use of substances and solutions eg Science, Art etc Use of machinery eg D & T
- 8. Risk Assessments Attitudes to risk vary greatly between individuals so a group or team approach as opposed to an individual approach is a better practice when assessing risk and establishing safe working practices.
- 9. Reduce not eliminate A common misperception to risk is that it should be eliminated. We should be taking well managed and planned risks, not eliminating all of them wherever possible ! However in extreme cases elimination is the only solution or answer.
- 10. What if we get it wrong ? There is no such thing as a perfect risk assessment. We all make mistakes and have errors of judgement, once you discover that something isn’t right, rectify it. Risk assessments are living documents and should be amended to move with progress and change.
- 11. How often should risk assessments be reviewed ? The law requires that risk assessments should be reviewed periodically, it is up to the employer to decide on frequency (most risk assessments are reviewed annually at least). Risk assessments must also be reviewed if there is a significant incident or major injury eg person is sent to hospital, has time off, or the circumstances / setting etc have changed.
- 12. Where can we get advice from ? Colleagues in school Local Authority advisors Expert bodies eg CLEAPSS, AfPE etc
- 13. Reference Model risk assessments available from RMBC intranet / RGFL Guidance such as CLEAPSS, AfPE etc HSE guidance School policies and procedures
