An attempt has been made to measure and monitor spatio-temporal dynamics of Jagdalpur landscape, Chhattisgarh, India using urban plan maps (1981), topographical sheets (1981), temporal Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper data for the years 1990 and 2018. The spatial alongwith temporal change in land use pattern over 1990 to 2018 has been observed that the more area occupied by vacant lands, low dense forest and scrub forest with 19.8, 15.9 and 15.3%, respectively in imageries of 1990 which is changed with 2018, first three classes low dense habitat (21.9%), habitat (19.2%) and vacant lands (13.5%) occupied more area; however, lowest (6.3%) is under dense forest. These changes in land use due to more development of colony and expansion of Jagdalpur city in west and south direction as educational hub transforming large cultivated lands over the period of time. Analysis of low dense habitat areas show that significant area has been increased from 14.3 to 21.9 per cent of TGA during 1990 to 2018. The majority of habitats are in core area of city, whereas in the year 2018, area under these settlements has been increased considerably in all directions. Analysis of out skirt agricultural lands of Jagdalpur city indicates that the vacant lands mainly noticed in western and southern parts with an area of 13.5 per cent and rainfed rice occupies in conjunction of western and southern parts of city with 8.0 per cent area of TGA. 2000 onwards, the western part of city has been developed as educational hub and opening of Medical college in southern part gained momentum for constructing colonies and purchasing lands on vacant and cultivated lands. This situation gears up eastern part after NMDC at Nagarnar.
