Title: Change detection studies in coastal zone features of Goa by remote sensing By Murali, R. M.; Vethamony, P.; Saran, A. K. and Jayakumar, S. Source: Current Science (ISSN: 0011-3891) Vol. 91 no. 6. Pages: 816-819. 25 September 2006. Full text at http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/sep252006/816.pdf
Summary: The present study was undertaken to detect changes in the coastal zone of Goa using remote sensing and digital image classification techniques. After mapping the coastal land-use and land-cover features of the study area for three different years, [1990, 2001 and 2003], changes that took place over that region for a period of 13 years have been detected. There are significant changes in urban land, barren land, vegetation and mangrove covers. This exercise reveals that the coastal zone of Goa has undergone extensive development in the last decade. In such a situation, the change detection study will be of use to the decision makers. The full text contains colour photographs of the Goa costal zone over the 1990-2003 period and graphically reveals the pattern of changes.
