This study investigated the changes in land-use and land cover of Nachole Upazila. Satellite images were analyzed to detect changes in land use and land-cover in the last 34 years in Barind tract of Nachole Upazila of Bangladesh. The Increase of vegetation cover and changes in land use pattern has been investigated using remote sensing satellite data. Digital analysis found the significant changes, particularly on the burned land that has been transformed mostly into vegetation (Rahman & Rahman, 2007). The study found that during the last 34 years (1983-2016) 26,484.9 hectares of the bare soil area has been converted into Garden and 5306.4 hectares to settlement.
