In the reverse process of land use changes in geographic and economic trends disturb the delicate balance of theecosystem of the mountain environment leading to increase in the gravity of risks and frequency of Hazards. The book is endowed with academic orientation, scientific approach and planning expertise. It is helpful to Research Scholars, Geographers, Scientists, Environmentalists, Land Use Planners, Engineers in addition to the layman having interest in Environmental Studies and Mountain Development.
