Abstract

In recent years, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Route has witnessed significant changes in land use and land cover (LULC) due to human activities. Understanding these changes is crucial for effective environmental management. This study focused on analyzing LULC changes between Quetta and Gwadar along the CPEC route from 2018 to 2022. Utilizing satellite data and advanced mapping techniques, particularly supervised and unsupervised image classification methods, we examined how the landscape has evolved over time. Our analysis revealed notable shifts in LULC patterns, including a decrease in water bodies, wetlands, and barren land in Quetta, alongside an expansion of built-up areas and agricultural lands. Additionally, a comparative analysis of factual data highlighted the significant changes between different regions along the CPEC route. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring LULC changes and implementing strategies to sustainably manage resources along the CPEC route.
