Sudan as a Sahelian country faced numerous drought periods resulting in famine and mass immigration. Spatial data on dynamics of land use and land cover is scarce and/or almost non-existent. The North Kordofan State is located in the centre of Sudan . The region generally yields reasonable harvests of rainfed crops and grasslands supports plenty of livestock. But any attempts to develop medium- to long-term strategies of sustainable land management have been hampered by the impacts of drought and desertification over a long period of time. This resarch aimed to determine and analyse the dynamics of change of land use/land cover classes.
