Remote sensing technology is the widely applied technology used for land use/land cover change detection analysis. In this study, two Landsat 8 OLI imagery (2013-2019) have been used to extract change detection analysis with five classes (ie: residential buildings, water bodies, orchards, agriculture lands and bare lands) achieved by ERDAS imagery 2015. Supervised classification maximum likelihood classifier method was utilized to prepare land use land cover maps of the study area. The accuracy of the classified LULC map was assessed using A Google earth linked with ERDAS imagery. Results shows, agriculture lands, water bodies and orchards have increased by 5.43%, 0.22% and 1.56% while residential buildings and bare lands have decreased by-3.56% and-3.57% respectively.
