Abstract
Changes in land use and land cover play an important role in understanding the interactions of human activities with the environment. This makes it necessary to monitor and detect the changes happening over a period of time to maintain a sustainable environment. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the changes in land use and land cover of Aurangabad district in Maharashtra, India. The study is carried out using multitemporal satellite images from Landsat-8 sensors for the period from 2013 to 2019. The results show changes occurring in different covers including green vegetation cover, settlement, bare land and water bodies. Different classification algorithms are applied to observe and record changes happening in different land covers. The classified maps provide information which can be used by district authorities and other government agencies to take future decisions for development and sustaining environment.
