Perennial, historical and current define information about the land use and land cover changes of the Earth’s surface is thoroughly essential for any kind of sustainable development program because in which LULC serves as one of the major input criteria. LULC dynamics are analysed by using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This study is an attempt to evaluate the changes in land use/land cover in Surat city situated in the state of Gujarat at western part of India over a 10 year period. The study made use of LandSat imageries of 2006 and 2016 taken from USGS earth explorer. Maximum Likelihood classification method is used to classify the images. Five LULC categories like water, vegetation, built up area and bare land were identified and mapped. The results shows that land cover changes occurred in water, vegetation, built up area and bare land were 3.12%, 15.5%, 12.50%, 24.95% respectively.

I. INTRODUCTION Environmental change are occurred due to Land use and land cover change because LULC is most important anthropogenic driver of environmental change on all spatial and temporal scales. These changes embrace the greatest environmental concerns of human populations today, including climate change, biodiversity loss and the pollution of water, soils and air. So that monitoring the negative consequences of LULC has therefore become a major priority of researchers and policymakers around the world. (K M Kafi et al, 2014) Objective of the study is development of land use land cover map of Surat city and identification of the decadal change in land use land cover of Surat city. Surat city is go through tremendous growth in admitting increasing population.(Registrar General & Census Commissioner, 2011, Census India 2011) The city is often experiencing change concerning built up area expansion. GIS-based examine on land use transformation are efficient and necessary for land use planning in places which are undergo rapid growth in demand for growth of economy and development. Planning should be done on the basis of trends of land use change. Many cities and towns are crashing with a land use change along the major roads and highways and in sprawling the city. Often, this leads to a ribbon development along major roads and highways. Data collection from the satellite are having benefits of cost effective, less time consuming, global availability, better quality of data, etc.(Priyank P. Patel et al, 2016) Remote sensing detect and monitor the change occured in LULC with the use of several multi-date images. The differences occurring in LULC between the acquisition dates of images that are mainly due to various natural conditions and human actions. The prosperous use of satellite remote sensing for LULC change detection depends upon adequate understanding of landscape features, image systems, and methodology used in relation to the aim of study.

II. STUDY AREA AND DATA COLLECTION A. Study Area Surat is a city located on the western part of India in the state of Gujarat. It is one of the most dynamic city of India with one of the fastest growth rate due to immigration from various part of Gujarat and other states of India.(Surat Municipal Corporation) It is accessible from all corners of the country through airways, railways and roadways. The port city of Surat falls within the geographical location of North Latitude 21degrees to 15 minutes and East Longitude 72 degrees to 52 minutes. Surat is the 8th largest city of India in terms of population and largest in non-capital cities. Area of the Surat Municipal Corporation is 326.515 km2.(Surat Municipal Corporation)
