Abstract

Changes in Land use Land cover is a dynamic process taking place on the surface and it become a central component in current strategies in managing natural resources and monitoring environmental changes. Digital change detection is the process that helps in determining the changes associated with land use and land cover properties with reference to geo-registered multi temporal remote sensing data. The objective of this paper is to analyse the land use land cover changes in Golaghat district of Assam. Using multi temporal remote sensing data (LANDSAT ETM 1989, and IRS LISS III 2009) land use land cover changes has been performed. Result shows the change that has been occurred during 20 years of period.
