“…The change detection was applied to estimate the land-use conversion in percentage and km 2 . This finding is consistent with several other previous studies carried out in the Dehradun District (Agarwal, Soni, and Rawat 2019;Deep and Kushwaha 2020;Iortyom, Semaka, and Abawua 2020;Maithani 2020;Mishra, Kumar, and Nikam 2019;Nijagunappa et al 2007;Sawant, Prakash, and Mishra 2021;Sharma and Bagri 2020;Tiwari and Khanduri 2011;Tripathi, Pingale, and Khare 2019), highlighting the LULC change and its impact. The rapid spatial expansion of BUAs or urban activities in the study area may result in further loss in agricultural land, thus leading to accelerating sustainability risks and the threat of livelihoods, as agricultural growth stimulates non-agricultural activities in the rural regions, and it would be beneficial for those with little or no agricultural land or other assets.…”

Remote sensing and G.I.S help acquire information on changing land use and land cover (LULC), and it plays a pivotal role in measuring and monitoring such local and global changes. The present analysis has been executed on Landsat 5 TM, 1989 and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS, 2020 images of Pachhua Dun, including Dehradun & Mussoorie urban agglomeration. The present study aims to detect the land encroachment or area of change; rate of change and monitoring spatio-temporal variation in LULC change between 1989-2020 using change detection technique, supervised maximum likelihood classification, and Overall accuracy & Kappa Coefficient (K) was applied as an accuracy assessment tool. The results derived from the change detection analysis exhibits that the highest growth rate was recorded in built-up areas +247.75% (110 km2) and revealed the annual rate of change of 3.55 km2. or 7.99%, the highest among all LULC class during the overall study period of 31 years. The result also found that among all LULC class, the most significant LULC conversion took place from agricultural land to built-up areas followed by open/scrubland and vegetation/forest cover; approximately 69.9km2 of the area under agricultural land was found to be converted into built-up areas. At the same time, 38.9 km2 area of vegetation/forest cover and 36.3 km2 of the area of open/scrubland have converted into agricultural land. Rising anthropogenic influence and unsustainable land-use practices in the study area have led to a large-scale human encroachment and rapid transformation of the natural landscape into the cultural landscape. This analysis provides the essential long-term Geospatial information related to LULC change for making optimum decision-making process and sustainable land-use planning in the Pachhua Dun-Dehradun District, Uttarakhand, India.
