Abstract: This project examines the use of GIS and RS in mapping land use land cover change in Guto Wayu woreda between 2010 and 2020 so as to detect and analyze the change that has taken in the area between these periods. In order to achieve the Satellite of landsat have been obtained and preprocessing using EARDAS IMAGINE. The maximum likelhood algorism of supervised Image classification has been used to generate land use land cover maps and change detection. Aggregate rate of changes of Land use and land cover of Guto Wayu woreda resulted that considerable change has occurred within ten (10) years from 2010 to 2020) that is only forest and water body has decreased in (-8.6%) and(-0.01%) respectively, while the rest classes namely built up area in +2.05%, bare land (+4.8%) and Agricultural land (+5.8%) has increased Expansion of built up area and decreased public awareness for the forest / Plant vegetation.
