Abstract
Slope analysis is of great importance in assessing the area with regard to its functional utility. In the present study, relationship between slope aspects and land use has been analyzed to evaluate the catchment with regard to its broad land-use. This task can help in making the planning regarding the development, conservation and protection of attractive countryside. The slope in itself is a vector quantity, expressed both in terms of magnitude and direction. The direction of slope is expressed in terms of orientation from the north, measured in various proportions of 0°-360°. The magnitude of slope has been calculated by adopting Wentworth’s method of average slope. Land-use and slope has been calculated grid-wise. Investigation reveals that slope aspects have a great impact on cultural land-use. While making the planning of area regarding the development of cultural landscape, slope aspects should be taken into account.
