Popis: The objective was to evaluate the change in land cover and use due to anthropic activities in the district of Chota-Peru, during the years 2003 and 2019. Analysis of Landsat satellite images was used, the Corine Land Cover methodology was used, in a level II and III. Nine land covers were identified: continuous urban fabric, transitional crops, pastures, planted forests, grasslands, shrubs, rocky outcrops, bare lands, and permanent natural ponds, lakes and swamps. In total, the change produced was 6,804.06 ha (25.36%), while 20,022.77 ha (74.64%) did not experience any change. In the same period, the land covers that increased its area were temporary crops in 10.94% (2,934.35 ha), bare lands in 1.11% (298.91 ha), the urban fabric continued in 0.73% (196.33 ha) and planted forests at 0.53% (143.34 ha); while the covers that decreased their area were grassland by 6.91% (1 853.57 ha), shrubland by 4.79% (1 284.86 ha), pasture by 1.55% (416.02 ha), the rocky outcrop by 0.06% (16.25 ha) and permanent natural ponds, lakes and swamps by 0.01% (2.03 ha). The main factor behind the changes caused to the coverage and use of land in the Chota district is the population growth of 7%, putting pressure on these areas, with a clear trend towards an increase in agricultural areas and urban growth, producing a change in coverage and land use of 25.36%.
