Land use and land cover are similar, but there is a difference, land use describes the economic and cultural activities like agricultural, residential, industrial, mining, and recreational uses that are practiced at a given place and land cover refers to the surface cover on the ground i.e. Vegetation, urban infrastructure, water, soils, etc., the land cover data of a region is covered by forest, wetland, impervious surface, agriculture, etc. The sources of water and its types include wetland or open water will be advantages for different uses. Land use and Land cover can be determined by analyzing satellite and aerial imagery. The land cover maps provide information to help managers best understand the current landscape and to see the changes over time, LUCC maps of several years are needed. With this information, we can evaluate past management decisions as well as gain insight into the possible effects of their current decisions before they are implemented. This study reveals to identify the changes of Land Use/Land Cover of the Kasargod blocks in Kerala. The objectives of the study is to prepare temporal Land Use/Land Cover maps of the study area and to analyze major land use land cover classification and identify the changes of LULC in the study area. To analyze the changes in land use land cover Landsat TN, OLI/TIRS images of 1991, 2001, and 2021 are collected from the USGS web portal. The collected temporal data have been classified into major land use land cover classes under the supervised classification technique in ENVI software. The post-classification process was done in Arc GIS software and temporal LULC thematic was generated to identify the changes that occurred in the land use land cover pattern.
