Environmental study in parts of Cannanore district, Kerala, India, and assessment of its capacity for development – a methodological approach

Rok, strany: 1985, 187 - 210

A series of thematic maps depicting environmental parameters like morphology, landscape, flora and cultural features within a linear strip from the coast to the Western Ghats covering about 300 sq km in the Southern part of Cannanore district, Kerala, have been prepared. Homogeneous units under each parameter are worked out and evaluated for different types of activities from the conservation point of view. Quality and fragility of different units with respect to the selected parameters are worked out. These maps are collated together as an integrated map based on which zones of restricted development, unrestricted development and conservation are identified. Further, integrated capacity of agricultural development has been assessed for each sg km of land. Finally a map depicting areas of conservation and development has been brought out. This study is mainly undertaken to evolve an easily workable methodology of environmental study with special reference to landscape, which may be applied in other areas also.
