Abstract

The Physical environment and land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics of Churachandpur district, Manipur are investigated analytically using Geographic Information System [GIS] methods and high-resolution remote sensing (RS) data. The diverse terrain and changing land use practices of the recently demarcated district necessitate a thorough and accurate examination of the physical data for sustainable development. Anthropogenic impacts, topographical influences and land use trends were discovered through the analysis of spatial datasets, offering vital information for environmental management and regional planning. The study produced detailed maps of physical features using RS and GIS methodologies. Sentinel-2A multispectral imagery (10 m resolution), LANDSAT 8 satellite imagery, terrain-corrected SRTM (30 m resolution) and other data sources, along with structural characteristics like curvature, slope, elevation and rainfall distribution.
