Detection of Land Use and Land Cover Change in the Drought-Prone Area of Dharmavaram Mandal in Sri Sathya Sai District, Andhra Pradesh.

The study of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) is crucial for managing natural resources in response to increasing human demands in today's ecosystem. This research primarily employs Geographic Information System (GIS) and land use data to path changes in Dharmavaram mandal, situated in the Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh, India. The focus of this paper is on analyzing and recognizing alterations in LULC between 2017 and 2023 using Esri Land cove Sentinel-2 10 metre Land use and Land cover data. The integration of remote sensing technology and GIS tools has facilitated the monitoring of land use and land cover changes over time. This technology has unveiled changes at both regional and global levels, providing substantial benets to the scientic community
