The rate of urbanization in the Jodhpur district, Rajasthan, India, has been amplified by factors such as population growth, the aspiration for higher income, improved transportation facilities, and rural-to-urban migration. These dynamics have not only accelerated urban development but also added complexity to its patterns. In this paper, the technique for detecting changes in land use and land cover is an invaluable tool for comprehending the interplay between human activities and the environment. Consequently, monitoring these changes becomes crucial to track and understand the alterations taking place. The alteration of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) has evolved as a pivotal element in contemporary approaches to natural resource management and environmental monitoring. The land use/land cover (LU/LC) change detection study over two periods highlights a substantial increase in built-up, mining, and industrial areas. It is noteworthy that there has been a significant decrease in vegetation, water bodies, and other areas during the study period attributed to rapid urbanization around the Mandore area.
