Abstract
Urbanization increases the proportion of non-agricultural workforce, and changes in land use land cover from agricultural to non-agricultural pattern continuously through time. This study designed to analyse land use land cover (LULC) dynamics in Dukem town using remote sensing & GIS techniques between 2003 and 2019 years. The Primary data sources were collected through observations and secondary data sources were collected using remotely sensed satellite images. The key results of this study revealed that built-up area augmented severely from 698.06 ha (16.45%) in 2003 to 3,091.67 hectare (72.81%) in 2019. Specifically, agricultural land extremely decreased in all years from 2,764.37 hectare (65.12%) in 2003 to 999.05 hectare (23.53%) in 2019. Hence, accordingly, this incident reduced agricultural land and increased built areas dramatically.
