Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamics of land use and land cover in Mysuru District from 2018 to 2022 utilizing geographic information system (GIS) tools and remote sensing techniques. We used Sentinel-2 land cover data from the Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) to examine changes in shrubland, built-up areas, agricultural land, water bodies, and vegetation. Land cover patterns were analyzed and their temporal and spatial trends determined using image classification, change detection analysis, and theme mapping. The study emphasizes how crucial it is to comprehend land use dynamics in order to make wise decisions and implement sustainable land management techniques in the area.
