| Abstract | Characterizing the smart growth of a landscape in terms of the change pattern evolved in the region has been the focus of study for quite some time. The characterization of the growth of a region is essential for officials and city planners for the sake of planning and management perseverance. This paper attempts to characterize the smart growth of a region through landscape metrics. The traditional change detection/ analysis of a landscape is the measure of change of land use area which has occurred over a temporal domain. The work presented here analyze the change pattern occurred not only in terms of growth of land use area but also the structure of the land use area in terms of shape, landscape texture and the diversified growth of the land use. The study area chosen is the Kochi city region in the Ernakulam district of the Kerala state. In this work, the change pattern of Kochi region is evaluated in two temporal tags of the year which are 2006 and 2016. The landscape metrics are evaluated in the post-thematic classification phase. It is observed that of the numerous landscape metrics available, Mean Patch Size, Area Weighted Mean Fractal Dimension, Interspersion and Juxtaposition Index, Shannon's Diversity Index are the ones that help us to view the change pattern in terms of land use area, landscape structure, landscape texture and the diversified growth of the landscape, which has occurred in a region. |
