Land constitutes a vital natural asset upon which all developmental endeavours hinge. With a burgeoning population, the dynamic of land utilization and land cover undergoes continual transformation. Over recent decades, the conception of "land use" has evolved, encompassing its socioeconomic functionality. However, accurately representing and assessing land use changes through remote sensing poses a formidable challenge for the scientific community. This study focuses primarily on the evolution of land utilization and land cover in Guntur town, Andhra Pradesh. A methodological framework, utilizing multi-temporal satellite imagery, has been devised to scrutinize these changes. Employing IRSP6 and R2-LISS III sensors, boasting a spatial resolution of 23.5 meters for the years 2012 and 2022 respectively, remote sensing techniques were applied to discern alterations in land utilization. Geospatial Information System (GIS) software, alongside the Earth Resource Data Analysis System (ERDAS), facilitated this analysis. Unsupervised classification was employed to delineate the shifts in land use and land cover within Guntur City, Andhra Pradesh, thereby furnishing comprehensive insights into these transformations.
