An oil and gas client requested to evaluate land use/land cover (LULC) changes for developing efficient management strategies. Having understood the vital role of information on LULC in the form of maps and statistical data Tessellations utilized remote sensing and GIS techniques for conducting change detection analysis. This study was conducted to analyze whether the existing land cover is changing due to influx of human population and various human activities in the surrounding areas. Initial phase of the study included image analysis for documenting baseline data for various land use classes.
