Abstract EN

Remote sensing data are primary sources extensively used for change detection in recent decades.

In this research many techniques have been selected for change detection , Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Built up Index ( NDBI), Normalized Difference Water Index ( NDWI), and method of comparison after classification to represent three major land cover classes, built-up land, water bodies , and vegetation, respectively.

To make the change analysis of the study area , two images from the satellite Landsat ( ETM+) 2001 and 2006 are using.

Bands 2,3,4 and 5 have been extracted for each band for calculating the indexes NDVI , NDBI and NDWI.

Land cover classification has been performed using unsupervised procedure.

The main objective of the present paper is to analyse nature of land use land cover changes .

As a result, the spectral signatures of the three land-cover classes are more distinguishable in the new image than in the original seven-band image as the spectral clusters of the classes are well separated .

Therefore , the technique is effective and reliable.
