Abstract

This study analyzes the changes in land use and land cover (LULC) in Chh. Sambhajinagar city, Maharashtra, India, over 20 years from 2002 to 2022, using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing techniques. The analysis was carried out using Survey of India topographic maps along with satellite data from IRS LISS-III and PAN sensors. Based on field surveys, geographical characteristics, and image interpretation, the study area was classified into eight LULC categories. A comparative assessment revealed a substantial increase in built-up areas, accompanied by a marked decline in agricultural land, water bodies, and dense forest cover. These changes are primarily attributed to rapid urbanization and population growth in the region during the study period.
