| Abstract | Remote sensing was utilized, to analyze and study land-use/land-cover change impact on the environment of a section of Baltimore County and City. This study area was selected because it is one of the fastest growing regions in the state of Maryland. This growth (population and land-use activities) continues to exert immense pressure on both its resource and environment. Accordingly, a study was scoped to determine the magnitude of land-use/land-cover change, with special emphasis on transportation, and assess its impact on the local environment over the past ten years. The study utilized data sets obtained from several sources. Such data include remotely sensed imagery, land-use/land-cover maps, hydrology, and roads. The remote sensing data comprised mostly Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images acquired from the early 1990 to 1999 with varying temporal internals. The Environment for Visualizing Images (ENVI) was used to process and analyze the data on a Personal Computer (PC) environment. Five level-I land-use/land-cover categories (urban, vegetation, cultivated, mix (bare/built-Up), and Water) were analyzed for change in an attempt to reveal a general pattern and trend. Initial analysis of the TM images for 1990 and 1999 showed increase in the urban category and a decrease in the cultivated land. The final results from this study are expected to be beneficial to scientists, resource planners, managers, and policy makers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
