Abstract
In this study, 8 Landsat(TM/ETM+) satellite images acquired from 1984 to 2002 were used to investigate the growth of Chuncheon city, Kangwon-do, Korea. The images were geocoded and classified using training set collected from field survey. Four land-use types were classified such as urban area, green zone, agricultural land and water body. It also showed rapid increase of urban area in the past two decades from 1166ha in 1984 to 3358ha in 2002. About 2182ha of agricultural land and green zone have been changed to urban area. Agricultural land was newly formed from the green zone.
