Methodology And Results of Lulc Change Analysis From Satellite Data (Case Study of Gurjaani Municipality)

Abstract

Landscape planning and monitoring is a topical issue of the last decade. Arranging and planning the space (environment) in such a way that we use resources rationally is becoming more and more important. We know that natural resources are depleted and it is time to use new renewable energy sources, especially in the context of global climate change, it is important to assess and monitor the level of anthropogenic changes in the environment.The environment is constantly changing under the influence of various factors and in our opinion, it is most affected by anthropogenic impacts. For example, man has the greatest impact on the environment when he uses land for agricultural (land use) purposes.Until now, land surveys have not been conducted to study land use change, for example, we have selected Gurjaani Municipality to see changes in land use levels. At the research stage, a certain methodology was developed and developed according to the NDVI index. We have developed a methodology using existing Georgian and foreign materials. We have taken into account the geographical features of the region of Georgia, more specifically Gurjaani municipality. We saw what resources are needed to do this, tried to explain correctly and easily to the reader all, geographical aspects, technological needs, educational resources that we use to identify land use change, and the goal was to create a kind of guide in this direction. We decrypted satellite imagery developed by Landsat for the 2019–1995 interval. As a result of the research, we can say that there is no abandoned land in the territory of Gurjaani Municipality in 2019-1995. We hope that the research will provide us with a kind of guide that we will use to study land use and land use for the region of Georgia.
