Abstract

The monitoring of the environmental changes is the very necessary aspect of today to know about the pattern of the changes and its degradation. The rapid growth of population and urbanization creates many environmental changes in several years. The remote sensing indexing techniques are used to assess and to know the changes of environmental aspects as land, water and vegetation etc. The changes of land use land cover are good indicators of the environmental change. The paper highlights the temperature variation of land surface temperature of three consecutive decadal periods of Chandauli district. NDVI is also helpful for the study of vegetation analysis while NDWI is used for the identification of water suitability zones. NDBI indicates the built up index and settlement of the study area. The result indicates that the land use land cover changes (LULC) within the year of 2000 to 2010 and 2019 by its natural and man-made activities. The water bodies decreased in 2019(2.1%) in comparison of 2000 to 2010(3%). The highest crop land is indicated in 2000(53%) it’s decreased in 2010(28.6%) dew to incising order of fallow land in 2010(40%). Built up index also indicates the changes in settlement of urban and rural areas in 2019 (13.5%) in comparison of 2010(1.6%).

Keyphrases: LST, NDBI, NDVI, NDWI, environmental change
