Abstract
This thesis examines the identification of temporal changes in urban and settlement boundaries using multi-temporal satellite imagery. The findings of remote sensing studies conducted in Uzbekistan are summarized, highlighting the accelerating expansion of settlements. A four-stage methodology is proposed based on Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery, the NDVI, NDBI, and MNDWI spectral indices, the Random Forest classifier, and post-classification comparison. The methodology enables the comparison of existing built-up boundaries with master plans and the forecasting of future expansion. The results can be used by urban planning and land cadastre authorities for monitoring purposes.
