The current study used remote sensing and GIS techniques<br>to evaluate land-use changes and their impacts on agricultural productivity over the study area, which<br>included Tehsil Shorkot, District Jhang, Punjab, Pakistan. Arc GIS and ERDAS Imagine 15 software<br>were used for image pre-processing in order to stack the layers, sub-set them, and mosaic the satellite<br>bands. After pre-processing the photos, a maximum likelihood technique was used in a supervised<br>image classification scheme to identify the land-use changes that had been noticed in the research area.<br>The goal of the current study was. In 2010, there were 9.6 km2 under water. By 2015, there were 21.04<br>km2, and by 2020, there were 19.4 km2. In 2010, there were 16.6 km2 of built-up land; this number<br>rose to 19.4 km2 in 2015 and 26.8 km2 in 2020. The total area covered by vegetation was estimated to<br>be 513.2 km2 in 2010, 601.6 km2 in 2015, and 717.7 km2 in 2020. The area covered by forest land use<br>declined with time, from 90.8 km2 in 2010 to 86.7 km2 in 2015 to 61.84 km2 in 2020, indicating a<br>downward trend. The area used for bare land in 2010 was 528.54 km2, which significantly reduced to<br>429.64 km2 in 2015 and then to 333.1 km2 in 2020. The area of arid terrain that was once used for<br>agriculture has dramatically shrunk. The results of this research will be beneficial for future land-use<br>planning, urban and regional development, and a growth in agricultural production of different crops in<br>the study area.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Pakistan Journal of Science}, author={M.
