Abstract :
LULCC is the result of the long-time process of natural and anthropogenic activities that have been practiced on the land. The study intended to carry out the rate of land use /land cover changes, trends, and their magnitude over the last 30 years (1988-2018). The study has initiated loss of biodiversity (used for food, fuelwood, construction medicine, etc.) and wetland expansion to agricultural land. The study has used QGIS software 2.18.3. SCP plug-in extension 5.4.2 and MOULUSCE plug-in extended version.3 for image detection, classification, and Simulation. The LULCC classification result revealed that at the base period of 1988 Land sat imagery, forest land (56.22%), grassland (15.7%), Agricultural land(23.13%), Bare land(0.03%), wetland (2.18), and Settlement land(1. 58%) were identified with their respective percentage. On the contrary in the recent period of 2018 land sat imagery forest land, grassland, wetland were decreased to (39.71%), (6.53%), (0.87%),(23.13%) respectively. The maps of 1998 and 2008 were used to simulate the LULC for 2018 using MOLUSCE available in QGIS software. The predicted result was compared with the classified LULC map of 2018 to validate the model. Finally, based on this, the prediction of future LULC for the years 2028 was performed. The outcomes of this study show that there would be decreasing in forestland; grassland and increasing in agricultural land and settlement area.
