Geospatial Assessment of Change in Land Use Land Cover of Temple Town Vontimitta after Bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, India

Development and Improvement cause land debasement issues, remembering expanded tension for normal assets and the board of water assets. Geospatial Technology is one of the widely accepted, detailed and useful ways to develop land use classification of maps. This review expects to research the effect of the spatio-temporal elements of land use land cover (LULC) patterns in Vontimitta Mandal, YSR Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh using Geospatial technologies. LANDSAT-8 OLI data for the years 2014 & 2020 used as main input data for this study particularly after bifurcation of the state. A semi-regulated cross breed arrangement strategy was utilized for picture order and post-grouping procedures for LULC change discovery. The greatest probability characterization calculation is utilized to recognize LULC changes in the review region. The review region is arranged into five significant LULC classes’ in particular Horticultural land, Timberland land, Developed region, Water bodies and Waste grounds. Exactness appraisal of LULC was assessed utilizing a disarray matrix in Arc GIS software and ground truth corroboration. Based on LULC maps, major changes identified in the study area from 2014 to 2020 are mentioned hereunder. Agricultural land is decreased by 11.41%, Forest land is decreased by 1.72%, Waste land is increased by 1.60% Built up land is increased by 15.49% and Water bodies decreased by 0.77%. The outcome of the study would help concerning authorities for sustainable management of Natural Resources.
