Abstract
Land use land cover (LULC) change is a key factor in managing strategies for monitoring natural resources and environmental changes. The main objective of the present study is to analyze the LULC change, using geospatial tool that took place in the Badiadka gram panchayath between 2013 and 2020. The changes of LULC pattern occurred in the study area is mainly influenced by huge plantation distribution plan held by the Krishi project, Kerala after 2017 which attracted people to farming in and around their home. The results shows that the agricultural land increased from 25 to 47% and settlement areas from 14 to 22% in 2020. The rate of land consumption and absorption coefficient between 2013 and 2020 reveal LULC changes of the study area is mainly due to immense agricultural and built-up land with rapid growth in population and decrease in vegetation and barren land. The present study assists in the selection and management of land use plans to fully meet basic human needs.
