Simulation of Land use is a turnkey solution to portray the plausible scenarios of land use change in any study area, the current study was conducted to design the alternative futures of land use change in Mysuru-Nanjangud Local Planning Area, spatially explicit data were used for the study, satellite images act as a base input for study and driving forces of distance and topographic variables were used for training the model. The simulation were taken in a GIS environment, four different scenarios were designed to see the alternative possibilities of the land use change. The Cellular Automata were used to grow or decay the cells, Markov Chain chain used to predict the probability of change and Multi-Layer perceptron were helped to test and train the model. The model accuracy were tested with Kappa statistics and validated with actual land use data. The simulated data can be used for further decision making in study area.
