This course provides an in-depth understanding of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) concepts and their applications in spatial planning, environmental impact assessment, carbon reduction, and nature conservation. Students will be introduced to advanced methods and software for LULC mapping and change detection using remote sensing data. The course covers all stages of LULC mapping, from acquiring satellite data to assessing map accuracy and designing change maps for selected areas. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to effectively use remote sensing data for land cover analysis and environmental impact assessment.
