Dynamic Trends in Land Utilization: A Case Study of Sawai Madhopur District, 2017-2022

Abstract

This study investigates the dynamic trends in land utilization within Sawai Madhopur district over a five-year period from 2017 to 2022. Using statistical analysis of land use data across various categories, including forest area, non-agricultural land, barren land, and others, significant patterns and changes are identified. The findings reveal a notable increase in forest area, indicative of successful conservation efforts, alongside a steady rise in non-agricultural land use, reflecting ongoing urbanization and industrial development. Additionally, reductions in barren land signify effective land reclamation efforts, while stability in other categories suggests consistent land management practices. The implications of these findings for environmental sustainability, rural development, and policy formulation are discussed, along with avenues for future research and action. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of land utilization dynamics in Sawai Madhopur district and underscores the importance of sustainable land management practices for socio-economic and environmental well-being.
