Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the spatial and temporal variation in the land use/land cover pattern of Jind city during (1989-2008). Analysis shows that the previous land use pattern was dominated by arable land in general but during last three decades the proportion of agricultural land has declined. This temporal variation in land use pattern has occurred due to increasing population pressure as well as a shift in the structure of economy from primary sector to secondary and tertiary sectors.
