Abstract
Land is a primary natural resource and an asset on which all human activities take place. Land cover is the primary observation of land and can range into different categories. Due to multiple uses land is put to, there exist patterns of land use as well affected by the land cover. Land cover is currently very efficiently monitored by satellites these days. The current study is an examination of recent land use patterns of South Asian countries of Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka using Remote sensing and GIS. Land use information has been derived from ESA World Cover database. Such a study is useful in comparative analysis of geographies and is not readily available.
