Abstract

The detection of Land Use and Land Cover changes with the help of Remote Sensing data plays an important role in informed decision-making in various aspects. This study focuses on the assessment of Land use and Land cover changes of Thiruvallur District for the years 2010 and 2023. Utilizing Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 (OLI, TIRS) which is acquired from USGS Earth Explorer website, unsupervised classification techniques were employed to analyze the land use and land cover patterns. The accuracy assessment revealed satisfactory results with the user’s and producer’s accuracy which yielded overall accuracy of 90% and 92% respectively. This research provides valuable insights into the LULC changes occurring Thiruvallur District, which is essential for informed decision-making in land conservation, sustainable development, and water resource management.
