This study investigates the shifting dynamics of land resource utilization within the Fergana Valley by leveraging Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing technologies. The urgency of this research stems from the region's rapid demographic expansion, accelerating urbanization, and the resulting anthropogenic pressure on its natural landscapes. Our primary goal is to map the current structure of land use and evaluate how these patterns have transformed over time. By integrating multi-temporal satellite imagery with cartographic and statistical datasets, we categorized major land cover types and analyzed their spatial evolution. The findings reveal a marked expansion of both irrigated agricultural zones and urban settlements, often at the expense of natural ecosystems. These results underscore a critical need for proactive land management and continuous monitoring to safeguard the Fergana Valley’s sustainable development.
