ABSTRACT
Determining land-use/land-cover (LULC) changes provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the Earth's surface and is crucial for a variety of purposes. To monitor changes in agricultural land to optimize land use, manage crop rotations, and enhance sustainable agricultural practices LULC used. LISS III and LISS IV satellite images for 2010 and 2020 were used to generate the LULC map and compared to analyse the changes. Landforms in five categories Agriculture land, Built-up, Wasteland and Water bodies were analysed in the four taluks of Bangalore rural District. In Nelamangala and Hosekote built-up increased by 3 % of total area, where as in Devanahalli built-up area increased by 7 % of total area. Agricultural land has reduced 2 % of total area in Devanahalli but whereas 2 % of agricultural land reduced in Devanahali in a decade time reflecting the Kempegowda international airport in Devanahalli. Provide recommendations for sustainable land use planning and development based on the study's findings. Analysis involves a combination of remote sensing, GIS, and fieldwork to comprehensively understand and manage spatiotemporal land use changes in a specific region. Future scope of this study is Use models to project future land use changes based on different scenarios and Provide recommendations for sustainable land use planning and development based on the study's findings.
