Abstract:
The rapid expansion of urbanization in the Palnadu region of Andhra Pradesh has significantly altered land use and land cover (LULC), impacting natural resources and agricultural land. This study analyzes these changes using remote sensing and GIS techniques, utilizing multi-temporal Landsat satellite data from 2013 and 2019 to classify LULC into five categories: urban built-up, rural built-up, wasteland, agricultural land, and water bodies. Data processing was performed using ArcGIS software, applying supervised classification techniques such as the Maximum Likelihood Classifier for accurate LULC mapping. Change detection analysis through post classification comparison and Shannon’s entropy index was used to assess urban sprawl trends. The results indicate a substantial increase in urban built-up areas by approximately 32% between 2013 and 2019, primarily at the expense of agricultural land, which declined by 18%. Rural settlements saw a reduction of 14%, while wasteland decreased by 9% due to land conversion. Water bodies shrank by 6%, indicating potential concerns related to water resource management. These findings highlight the need for sustainable urban planning, afforestation programs, and improved water conservation measures to mitigate environmental degradation. The integration of GIS and remote sensing techniques provides essential insights for policymakers to formulate longterm strategies for balanced regional development, ensuring ecological stability and resource sustainability in the Palnadu region.
