Abstract :  This research paper delves into the application of Nighttime Light (NTL) data as a powerful tool for conducting Social Impact Analysis across diverse socio-economic factors. With the advent of satellite-based technology, NTL data has emerged as a valuable resource for assessing and understanding the dynamics of human activities and development. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating geospatial analysis and socio-economic indicators to examine the intricate relationships between NTL and various aspects of societal well-being. The methodology involves the collection and processing of NTL imagery, utilizing advanced remote sensing techniques to quantify and analyze the intensity of artificial lighting. The research explores the correlation between NTL and critical socio-economic parameters such as urbanization, economic growth, migration, and per capita power consumption. Additionally, it investigates the potential of NTL data in capturing patterns related to infrastructure development, human migration, and environmental changes. Furthermore, the paper discusses the implications of the findings for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers in enhancing evidence-based decision-making processes. By leveraging NTL data, this research aims to
contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the social impact of human activities on a global scale. Ultimately, the study advocates for the integration of NTL data into socio-economic analyses, promoting informed and targeted interventions to address pressing societal challenges.
