Land Use/Cover Change Analysis Using Remote Sensing Data:A Case Study, Zhengzhou Area, Henan Province, China

In the last two decades, arid and semi-arid regions of China suffered rapid changes in the Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) due to increasing demand on food, resulting from growing population.In the process of this study, we established the land use/cover classification in addition to remote sensing characteristics.This was done by analysis of the dynamics of (LUCC) in Zhengzhou area for the period 1988-2006.Interpretation of a laminar extraction technique was implied in the identification of typical attributes of land use/cover types.A prominent result of Stinger Parts the study indicates a gradual development in urbanization giving a gradual reduction in crop field area, due to the progressive economy in Zhengzhou.

The results also reflect degradation of land quality inferred from the decline in yield Small Animal - Bedding capacity and significant degeneration.Developing land types are Barren land and urban areas (8.02%, and 246.65%).Shrinking land types are water, forest, crop, and grass areas (5.

98, 11.52%, 7.09%, and 20.02% respectively).Such changes are the results of physical and anthropogenic factors.

The results are expected to provide very useful information for the local government in its future planning.
