The LULC features in Kanyakumari district are particularly associated with agriculture expansion, ground water depletion and urbanization. Monitoring LULC is necessary in order to understand the overall dynamics of population and quality of life. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the LULC of kanyakumari district, where the increase of population and climatic variability causes the greatest environmental impact on vegetation, forest, ground water pollution and also deterioration of bare land with more builtup and dumping of garbage. This study mainly focuses on the comparison of three different classifiers namely Mahalanobis Distance Classifier, Neural Net Classifier (NN) and Adaptive Coherence Estimator in ENVI 5.1 for LULC classification from Landsat images, to select the best suitable method of classifier for the different features. The classified LULC features are categorized as built-up areas, waterbodies, agriculture land, hilly areas, forest and bare land. The accuracy was analyzed by finding the error matrix using google earth and photo interpretation, which had helped to get the accurate accuracy. The overall analysis shows that the Adaptive Coherence Estimator overperformed to other classifiers studied in this work. The change analysis map of the Landsat images generated using QGIS2.14.4 indicates the overall changes.
