Abstract & Overview
Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes are among the most visible and impactful transformations in ourenvironment. However, the complexity, variety, and spatial variability of these changes make them challengingtoquantifyandassess. This review consolidates findings from global studies employing remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to analyze and monitor LULC changes. The studies highlight rapid urbanization, deforestation, agricultural expansion and other land transformations driven by population growth, economic development, and infrastructural demands.
