In the following study, using highly-developed remote sensing methodologies, a historical over-ten-year study of the LULC phenomenon of the Khorezm Oasis was conducted. The analysis provides valuable insights about agricultural change, water management policies and the alteration of LULC in the region, including several processes, changes in plants and irrigation levels, population density and growth of urban structures. Consequently, the work establishes an interrelation between climate variability and therefore, this assessment comes with useful policy information for any policy maker or relevant stakeholders who wish to implement good land management policies and policies that reduce any negative effects on the environment within the Khorezm Oasis. Based on the below results, it was indicated that there is a divergence in change in agricultural land, water areas, natural vegetation, and urban form based on 2018 to 2022, informing of the decrease in water areas, tree coverage, and cane regions, as well as the increase in built-up areas and bare ground. These transformations are explored with respect to socio-economic characteristics, climate fluctuations, and policy management, providing useful guides for professional communities and policymakers to design more favourable conditions for sustainable management of land and agriculture.
