Abstract

The alteration of land use/land cover (LULC) has significant environmental consequences since it is strongly linked to long-lasting land degradation and leads to diverse environmental alterations. It is crucial to monitor the locations and distributions of changes in land use and land cover (LULC) to comprehend the connections between government actions, policy choices, and resulting LULC activities. Modern systems for protecting the environment and managing natural resources now depend heavily on changes in land use and cover. Variations in land surface temperature are also explained by this phenomenon. Using the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST), this study examines the various effects of land conversion on the environment. The information gathered from the Landsat 8 OLI sensor in Vijayawada city is used to accomplish this.
