Investigation for Land Use and Land Cover Change Detection Using GIS

摘要

For better development and good space planning, it is required to understand the recent changes that have occurred in the surrounding environment. The Change Detection method is usually deployed for this. The underlying research study did the same for Nanded city. The criterion used was to understand land use and land cover change variables as a token of change detection. The results helped us to understand urban spreading out that took place in the time zones 1973–1992 and 1992–2014. Our approach was using Remote Sensing Technology. Landsat images as MSS, TM, and LC were collected and their analysis was carried out. This paper can work as a role model for GIS-based LU/LC change detection of any city in India.
