Description

Abstract: The use of multi-temporal satellite images in digital change detection algorithms aids in the comprehension of landscape dynamics. The present study illustrates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use/land cover of Kokrajhar district of Assam, India. Landsat Satellite imageries of four different time periods. i.e., Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) of 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 were acquired from Google Earth Explorer site and quantify the changes of Kokrajhar district from 1991 to 2021 over a period of 30 years. Supervised classification methodology has been employed using maximum likelihood technique in ArcMap 10.8 Software. The images of the study area were categorised into four different classes namely vegetation, agriculture, built up and water body. The results indicate that during the last three decades, built up have been increased by 3.8% (658.75 km2 ) while agriculture, vegetation and water body have been decreased by 0.74 (708.9 km2 ) %, 0.56(1494.46 km2 ) % and 2.46 (273.5 km2 ) % respectively.
