Change Detection of Land Use Land Cover (2004-2014-2024) in Kalaburagi City, Karnataka

This study aims to analyze the Land Use Land Cover (LULC) changes in Kalaburagi city, Karnataka, India, from 2004 to 2024 using remote sensing and GIS techniques. Landsat satellite imagery will be classified using supervised techniques to map LULC patterns in 2004, 2014, and 2024. The study will quantify changes in each LULC class, analyze the spatial patterns of urban growth, agricultural land conversion, and other transformations. A categorical change detection technique will be employed to identify and quantify the changes between different time periods. The accuracy of the classifications will be assessed using ground truth data and statistical measures. The results will provide insights into the urbanization process, its environmental impact, and the effectiveness of land use policies in Kalaburagi city. The findings can assist policymakers and urban planners in making informed decisions for sustainable land management and urban development in the region. The study will contribute to the understanding of urban growth patterns and their socio-economic and environmental implications in developing countries.
