This study quantitively examines spatiotemporal Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes in Thoothukudi Municipal Corporation from 2010 to 2024, employing advanced remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques integrated with multivariate statistical methods to derive meaningful insights into urban transformation dynamics. For multi-temporal LULC classification, Landsat satellite images were obtained from the USGS Earth Explorer platform, including Landsat-7 ETM + (March 2010)
