LULC Change Analysis (GIS & Remote Sensing)

Overview

This project focuses on analyzing Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes over time using GIS and Remote Sensing techniques. It helps understand urbanization, deforestation, and environmental change patterns.

Objectives

• Prepare LULC maps for different time periods
• Detect and quantify land cover changes
• Analyze spatial and temporal patterns

Data Sources

• Landsat Satellite Imagery
• Administrative boundary shapefiles

Tools & Software

• ArcMap / ArcGIS Pro
• QGIS
• Microsoft Excel

Methodology

1. Satellite image preprocessing
2. Image classification
3. LULC map preparation
4. Change detection analysis
5. Map layout and interpretation

Output

• LULC maps
• Change detection maps
• Statistical summaries

Applications

• Urban planning
• Environmental monitoring
• Climate change studies
