Abstract

Urban settlements have more complex environments, in unremitting fruition, where most of the world population lives. Most of the cities in developing countries have been developed without a rationale, and the life conditions are repeatedly insufferable. For this research work, NDVI is particularly used to assess the status of vegetation cover. Tasseled cap is another index that creates three band images for this study. Brightness, greenness, wetness are the three bands that represent the area under consideration. The present study aims particularly at comparing high NDVI area and greenness values given by tasseled cap and low NDVI values and high brightness values and status of urban environment. Based on the overlapping of tasseled cap image, an NDVI image is observed in which most of the area of healthy vegetation is located in the north west and south east part of Kharagpur city, which extended from south west to north east and north to south respectively.
