Abstract

Land use/land cover (LU/LC) changes in Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu, were determined during the period 2000 to 2016 using Geospatial technology. Landsat imageries were used to study the past and present land use/ land cover changes. The study results show that there is an increasing trend in the built-up area, especially in urban built-up.
