Abstract
The present paper ardently deals with the framework of Gondia city of Maharashtra State, India land use and land cover classification system was presented for use with remote sensor data. The classification system has been developed to meet the needs of Gondia Municipal Council for an up-to-date overview of land use and land cover throughout the Municipal area on a basis that is uniform in categorization. The proposed system uses the features of existing widely used classification systems that are amenable to data derived from remote sensing sources. It is intentionally kept open-ended so that municipal agencies can have flexibility in developing more detailed land use classifications in order to meet their particular needs and at the same time remain compatible with each other, the State and National system. Keeping the objective of selecting functionally safe waste disposal site for GMC, the present study has been undertaken to extract information from Toposheet No.64 C/3, high resolution PAN imagery IRS 1C LISS III and Google Earth regarding identification of classification of land cover/use planning. Spatial analyst of Gram++ was used for generating and managing complex environmental database system.
