This study is designed to observe the consequences of built
infrastructure on agricultural production in the tehsil Takht Bhai
from 1985-2015. The recent spatial techniques like Geographic
Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) tools are
used to detect land use land cover change in the study area. The
satellite imageries of Lan-Sat were acquired from the open
source web Global Land Cover Facility (GLCF), the images
obtained from this source were then classified and processed in
ArcMap to determine a clear scenario of spatial and temporal
land use dynamics in the area under investigation. Moreover,
for the analysis of acquired data the Statistical tool, like
correlation is used. The analysis showed that rapid physical
expansion in infrastructure is reported in the area during the
examination period from 1985-2015. The built area is increased
about six times in the tehsil takht bhai during study hours, by
engulfing agricultural land. Therefore, it is a dire need of the
time for government and land use lanner to device new land use
policies and strategies for proper land use, and to reduce further
undesirable and unintentional physical expansion on
agricultural land
