Nanjangud, a prominent town in the Mysore district of Karnataka, India, has experienced significant urban and industrial growth over the past few decades. This study aims to analyze the land use and land cover (LULC) changes in Nanjangud from 1975 to 2024 using Landsat and Sentinel satellite imagery at decade intervals. By employing supervised classification techniques, the research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the spatial and temporal dynamics of urban expansion and its environmental impacts. The study leverages Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing technologies to monitor and map these changes accurately. The findings indicate increase in urban built-up lands, accompanied by a reduction in open spaces, vegetal and agricultural lands highlighting the need for sustainable urban planning and management in the town.
