Historical Perspective of LUCC Workshop (IGP)  ::...

Background |  Introduction |  Objectives

Background :

The Land Use and Land Cover Change (LUCC) Project is a joint core project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP). LUCC, through the understanding of the land use and land cover change processes, aims at improving the understanding of the dynamics of interactions between human activities and natural resource utilizations, and the impacts such change mechanisms may have on other components of the earth system - land, water and the ecosystem.

In the past couple of years SASCOM has organized activities relating to Landuse cover changes in the Indo-Gangetic plains in relation to the causes of changes in total factor productivity in the IGP; the environmental consequences of these changes; management of the available resources to increase productivity and minimize further environmental degradation due to increased production. 

:::: Introduction :

In the present year a workshop on Historical Perspectives of the IGP was organized from 11-13th April 1999, in New Delhi. The participants were geographers, historians, economists, statisticians, data; analysts, and remote sensing experts and others.The discussions were confined to Indo-Gangetic Plains and adjoining hill regions.
:::: Objectives :
  • To discuss historic-socio-economic perspectives and forces that has influenced land-use land-cover change in the Indo-Gangetic Plains Region.
  • To develop a study framework for natural andsocial scientists to work together on generating useable historical information base and its analysis for the above land use/land cover change study.
  • To evolve a set of criteria for identifying geographical regions and historical time frames for detailed investigation of driving factors.
  • To catalyse efforts for creation of historical information and data base relevant to the study.
