pollen and charcoal concentration, as well as LOI550℃ organic carbon. It shows that the sand barrier parallel to the coast accumulated from west to east and the study site became a relatively close mud flat zone. Mangrove pollen were found, most of which are Excoecaria. The vegetation on the terrestrial backshore areas were mainly covered with subtropical shrub and grass. (4) Pollen result shows that the evergreen broad-leaved forest percentage sharply reduced since 1353 cal a BP. Conversely, the herbs of Poaceae and heliophilous fern of Dicranopteris increased greatly, which can be related to the massive deforestation by human activity on the hilly area, implying as well as the development of rice farming in the island.

Change in landuse patterns in Cauvery delta zone Kalai Selvan. A, Rajakumari S 1 . 1 National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM), ABSTRACT Cauvery Delta Zone (CDZ) lies in the eastern part of Tamil Nadu between 10.00-11.30, North latitude and between 78.15 – 79.45 longitude. It is bounded by the Bay of Bengal on the East and the Palk straight on the South, Trichy district on the west, Perambalur, Ariyalur districts on the north west, Cuddalore district on the North and Puddukkottai district on the South West. It has been subjected to many landuse changes over the last decades. Land-use-change patterns are the result of the complex interaction between the human and the physical environment. This project is presented to analyse the pattern of land-use change that allows a wide range of factors, from different disciplines, to contribute to the explanation of land-use change. Historic as well as recent land-use changes are studied. Historic land-use change is related mainly to the variation in the biophysical environment. For the recent changes in land use high levels of explanation are obtained. The most important changes during this period are expansions of residential, industrial/commercial, and recreational areas. The location of these changes can be explained by a combination of accessibility measures, spatial policies, and neighborhood interactions. On the basis of these results it is possible to define priority topics for in-depth analysis of land-use-change processes and suggest factors, relations, and processes that need to be included in dynamic land-use-change models that support land-use-planning policies. The cities are growing at unprecedented rates, creating extensive urban landscapes. Many of the farmlands, wetlands, forests, and deserts that formed the delta regions have been transformed during the past 100 years into human settlements. Almost everyone has seen these changes to their local environment but without a clear understanding of their impacts. It is not until we study these landscapes from a spatial perspective and the time scale of decades that we can begin to measure the changes that have occurred and predict the impact of changes to come. Most major areas face the growing problems of urban sprawl, loss of natural vegetation and open space, and a general decline in the extent and connectivity of wetlands and wildlife habitat. The public identifies with these problems when they see residential and commercial development replacing undeveloped land around them. Selected regional studies are currently in progress across the delta region. Data source availability for each region, in conjunction with historical significance, determines the time periods that are mapped. Features are interpreted from diverse data sources including historical topographic maps, satellite images, census statistics, and aerial photographs.
