Tea industry of Assam plays a dominant role in the economy of the state. Recently, a number of small tea growers have made an entry into the tea industry in Assam, which has made a significant impact on the pattern of agricultural land use, creation of rural employment, economic benefit and most significantly on the biodiversity of the area. The present study focuses to know about the changes in land use due to small tea cultivation in Titabar of Jorhat, a district of Assam and its impact on the biodiversity of the area. The small tea growers of the study area converted the fallow lands, waste lands, grazing lands etc. into the tea gardens within the last two decade, which changes the pattern of land use of the area. The farmers had cleared their plots under bamboo land, miscellaneous and indigenous trees for tea gardening which directly affects the biodiversity of the area. The primary data have been collected by field visit to the study area to substantiate the objectives of the study. Seven villages of Titabar and a total number of 50 small tea growers were selected randomly as sample for study. The study attempts to establish a relationship between the small tea cultivation and land use change. Growth of small tea cultivation is the prime cause of depletion of many valuable forest resources including animals, birds, medicinal plant and nutritious fruits, resulting in loss of flora and fauna in the area.

Geographic information system is a computer based system used for capturing, storing, checking, manipulation, analysing and displaying data which are spatially referenced to the earth, in order to solve a complex management problem. Web based GIS or internet GIS became more useful tools for tourism industry, which presents a platform that brings products and services to the tourists. Instead of various tourist guides for the location the tourist might face some problem related to find a hotel, travel cost, mode of transportation, road connectivity etc. The study proposed to develop a web mapping application for Sivasagar Tourism a district of Assam, India using Geospatial technology. The data that published in Geoserver are import from Postgres Sql database to Apache tomcat server. This district is a famous destination for tourists as well as others visitors because of its historical footprints and its exotic locations. This study considers web-based GIS application towards promoting tourism and providing a smarter way to the visitors to access spatial orientation of the town. The web map application will be published for future use with a website on the internet .Web page is design using JavaScript, HTML, Cascade style sheet with the open layers as base map for overlaying the layers.
