In this study Tirunelveli and Palayamkottai taluk regions are considered and their urban expansion for the past 10 years has been studied to predict the future urban expansion in the year 2025 using the CLUE-S model. Landsat satellite images of 2005 and 2015 are used for this study. After processing the imagery, land use land cover images are developed in Arc GIS and the logistic regressions using SPSS software were also conducted to evaluate the relationships between the land use and its driving factors. The output images are used for predicting the future land use land cover. An accuracy of more than 80% was obtained in every stage
