Demographic Pressure and Urban Sprawl on Land using Geospatial Analysis in Thanjavur City, India
Journal Title: International Journal of Environment, Ecology, Family and Urban Studies (IJEEFUS) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
India has many resources with rapid population growth necessitates a proper planning by the government to avoid negative environmental and socio-economic impacts. It was found that population per unit area of built-up surface may serve as a good indicator of urban sprawl. Since the study area core is defined mainly to the Thanjavur municipality, detailed ward wise decadal analysis is made. The temporal changes were calculated along with population using Location Quotient Analysis, in the last two decades. It is also observed that the urban density is higher in the west zone and lower in the North zone as most of the northern part was covered by agricultural lands. The study investigated the population growth occurring in study area and the results shows that the overall growth in built-up area is in the south western parts. The present study highlights the concentration of population ward wise in the study areas, hence decentralization of smart utility services are necessary for the future planning. In order to ensure long term Sustainability, land resources management should be done efficiently using GIS.
