for the period from 1980-81 to 2008-09 for all the districts of
Karnataka. In order to study intra and inter sectoral shift land
use, the land classes have grouped into three broad sectors (I)

Agricultural sector and multiple linear regression models fitted

ecological sector and urbanisation has influence on land shift
