          <dc:description>"This paper focuses on the USGS images data analysis especially for the land cover changes
during 1988 to 2021 period from the geographical point of view. Amarapura Township is
located in Mandalay Region. Land cover changes in Surrounding Area of Taungthaman Lake
in Amarapura Township were analyzed by using 1995 and 2021 Landsat 8 Images and
Classification in Esri. In inquiring land cover conversion, it is found that the area converted
from agricultural land to non-agricultural land was the largest during 35-year period from
1988 to 2021. However, the area converted from orchard land to water body area was the
smallest during the35-year period from 1988 to 2021. The main causes of changes were due
to the natural and social factors. This affected on a variety of environmental, ecological,
economical and social conditions and processes. Therefore, annual decreasing rate of
orchard area in Amarapura Township should be controlled by the systematic ways."</dc:description>
