Abstract
This study aims to analyze land use changes in Medinipur Division between 2000 and 2020 using satellite images. The objective is to create land use/land cover maps for three time points (2000, 2010, and 2020) and detect changes that have occurred over the past two decades. Five land use/land cover classes were identified: vegetation, waterbody, cultivated land, sand deposit, and built-up areas.
Keywords:
