Assessment of changes in land use and land cover through remote sensing and GIS is very important and keyanalysis. Urbanization has been continued by the rapid growth in the world economy so; it is the key study withregards to agriculture and urbanization. The aim of this study is to determine the loss of agriculture land and effects ofincreasing urbanization on surface temperature. For urban temperature impact analysis, distinctive time series ofLandsat images have been chosen. Temporal analysis for different time series shows the decrease in agriculture landand increase in built up area. Urbanization increased the temperature up to 20C. Positive correlation is found betweenbuilt-up area and temperature and negative correlation is found between green spaces and temperature. Unplannedurban sprawl and lack of proper irrigation system according to population are major problems in study area. Recentstudy will be helpful for decision makers to develop the sustainable environment policy in future.

Abstract The land's natural resources are invaluable and a requisite for the existence and development of humans and other organisms on Earth. In recent years, under the strong impact of new directions in economic and social development, the demand for land has been increasing. The percentage of land used for residential living, transportation, irrigation and infrastructure tends to increase, while the share of agricultural land is continuously decreasing. Consequently, the allocation and efficient use of land is one of the most important concerns in order to enable sustainable development, environmental protection and ecology. Therefore, research to determine the volatility and changing trends in land use is necessary. This study uses remote sensing and GIS technology, combined with the Markov Chain to determine variation and forecast the changes in land use in the Y Yen district of the Nam Dinh province of Vietnam. This will create a basis for helping land managers grasp the situation in local land use management.

Digital change detection is the process that helps in determining the changes associated with Land use and Land cover properties with reference to geo-referenced multi-temporal remote sensing data. It helps in identifying change between two or more dates that is uncharacterized of normal variation. This work is an attempt to assess the district-wise changes in land use/land cover in Delhi, India. The study made use of LISS -III imageries of 2008 and 2012 year. The images were classified using Maximum Likelihood classification method. The output can be useful in many applications such as Land use changes, habitat fragmentation, rate of deforestation, urban sprawl and other cumulative changes through spatial and temporal analysis. The study shows that Delhi land cover from 2008 to 2012 a major rapid changes in the landscape as there is high growth in the fallow and built up area. Agriculture land and forest area has reduced marginally and water body is showing almost stagnant condition over time.
