Description

Our research adds to the growing number of remote sensing–based analyses that deal with land-cover dynamics, land use and cover changes in the Center Development Region (CDR) of Nepal during the last three decades. This study spatially identifies deforestation areas by using transition matrices for the periods of 1975-1990, 1990-2000 and 2000- 2005. It uses simple regression analyses for finding relationships of the above variables with deforestation.

Measuring quality of life of the Central Development Region of Nepal by integration of remote sensing and census data
