Abstract

Land use/land cover is a significant element for the interconnection of the human activities and environment a monitoring which is useful to find out the deviations to save a maintainable environment. Remote sensing is a very useful tool for the affair of land use or land cover monitoring, which can be helpful to decide the allocation of land use and land cover. This study involves the assessment of land use or land cover vicissitudes beginning of the year 1992, 2005 and 2014 of the Saranda forest. In the classification map, statistics, matrix has been performed, and the user accuracy is collected for every class. To read the thematic maps and ground truth survey, GIS software (ArcMap) has been employedtocarry out the classification and to check the accuracy. It is mandatory to detect carefully the land use or land cover vicissitudes for continuing a sustainable environment for a real growth. The result of the work shows the quick expansion of built-up (mining area), wasteland, open forest, agricultural land and lessening the dense forest area and the water bodies.
