Abstract—This study examines the problem from the different land-use data set from Thailand department of land development, that caused the use of uncertain land-use change code (LUCC). The LUCC previous which was classified didn’t correlate to the new LUCC, hence it couldn’t be used as a historical information. We classified LUCC from geographic information system data (GIS) into land-use change mapping for Phuket island from 1967 to 2000. The LUCC were classified and displayed in thematic map format in 1:1000 and demonstrated in freely available software. The results showed that the occupation of land-use in Phuket in 4 period by the unity LUCC will help the land-use planning and land-use policy for the future.

Index Terms—Land-use code/ land-use cover (LUCC), Phuket island, GIS, thematic map.
