Abstract

The study represents a comprehensive study on data collection and methodology used for analysing land use and land cover (LULC) changes in Noida and Nava Raipur between 2013 and 2022. The study incorporates remote sensing data and GIS techniques to assess urbanization, vegetation, water bodies, and barren land. The methodology involves satellite image acquisition, pre-processing, supervised classification, and digitization of water bodies from Google Earth Pro Imageries. In Noida, urbanization is evident with an increase in built-up land, while the proportion of barren land decreased. Vegetation remained stable, and water bodies saw a slight increase. The city's efforts to balance growth with ecological preservation are highlighted. In Nava Raipur, significant urbanization is observed with a decrease in barren land and substantial increase in built-up land. Vegetation increased as well, demonstrating efforts towards sustainability. Water body area increased slightly, indicating attention to water resource management. Both cities showcase the importance of maintaining a balance between urbanization, environmental preservation, and water resource management. The study underscores the need for informed decision-making and continuous monitoring to ensure sustainable city planning in the face of urban expansion and climate change challenges.
