Abstract
Land use and Land cover change have turned into a focal part in current systems for overseeing regular assets and checking ecological changes.. In this project an endeavor is made to think about the land use and land cover in the Guntur district region over a period of time in 2013. The study has been done through remote sensing approach utilizing Land Sat symbolisms of this area. GIS programming is utilized to set up the thematic maps of the area. Remote sensing methodology is adopted to study the geographical land use changes occurred during the study period. Land sat images of the TM and ETM+ of Guntur district area are collected from the USGS Earth Explorer website. After picture pre-handling, un-directed and administered picture grouping has been performed to characterize the pictures into various land utilize classifications. Five land use classes have been distinguished as Urban (Developed), Water body, Horticultural land, Infertile land and Vegetation. Information on land use and land cover change study is very useful to local government and urban planners for the betterment of the future plans of sustainable development of the city. © IAEME Publication.
