Randomized trial demonstrates land use changes in Hawalbagh, indicating spatial dynamics over two decades.

The study aims to analyze the spatio-temporal dynamics of land use/cover in Hawalbagh block using remote sensing.
Utilized multi-temporal satellite imagery from Landsat for the years 1990 and 2010.
Employed supervised classification with maximum likelihood technique in ERDAS 9.3 software.
Categorized land use into five classes: vegetation, agriculture, barren, built-up, and water body.
Vegetation increased by 3.51% (9.39 km2) over the period.
Built-up land increased by 3.55% (9.48 km2).
Agriculture, barren land, and water body decreased by 1.52% (4.06 km2), 5.46% (14.59 km2), and 0.08% (0.22 km2), respectively.

Rawat et al. (2015) studied this question.
