In general the term “land use” refers to the human activity of economical function associated with specific geography Land cover as a type of natural features present on the surface of the earth. It is widely recognised that study area of land use/land cover change phenomena at local regional and global level is crucial for understanding the negative impacts on environment, which include impact on climate, water resource, soil, vegetation etc. As a result of the growing impacts it has become important for land use planners to extract, detect, monitor and predict land use/cover changes (LUCCs). The monitoring of LUCCs within a certain time period and predicting future trends of temporal and spatial changes are absolutely necessary. The aim of this study is to analyze and monitor LUCCs at Contai town over a time span of 10 years and predict the future trend of changes during the period of 2009–2019. Land use/cover (LULC) maps were extracted via RS images obtained from Land sat TM, ETM+ and OLI, respectively.
