Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) change plays an important role in urban growth management and urban planning. This study attempts to examine LULC change in the Rispana River Catchment over the period from 2008 to 2015. Satellite data of Cartosat1 from 2008 and 2015 with a resolution of 2.5 m were used to create LULC maps. The LULC change matrix used to determine the total change among classes from 2008 to 2015. Five major LULC classes were identified: built-up land, agriculture, open land, forest, and water body. The primary LULC class of the catchment is built-up land, which increased by 6.65 km² between 2008 and 2015. This study uses the Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) approach, which is currently one of the predominant technologies for spatio-temporal analyses. This study would help to identify the critical areas that are highly susceptible to flooding, and to assist in urban planning.
