This study examines the spatio-temporal patterns of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC), vegetation health, and land surface temperature (LST) in Tasgaon Taluka, Sangli District, between 2000 and 2023. Landsat data from the years 2000 and 2023 were processed to generate LULC maps, NDVI, and LST indices. Results show a marked increase in built-up area and agricultural intensification, accompanied by declining vegetation and increasing surface temperatures. NDVI values increased in irrigated zones, while LST showed a rising trend in urban and barren surfaces. The findings highlight the influence of land use change on local climatic conditions and environmental sustainability.
