Abstract
Cities are engines of development and poverty reduction in both urban and rural areas, as they concentrate much of the national economic activity, government, commerce and transportation, and provide crucial links with rural areas, between cities. Over the last two decades, urban population of India increased from 217 million to 377 million and this is expected to reach 600 million, or 40 per cent of the population, by 2031 as per the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate. The current pattern of rapid urbanisation is largely taking place on the fringe of cities and much of it is unplanned. Unprecedented and unplanned growth leads to critical infrastructure shortages, service gaps, poverty, social unrest, environmental degradation, pollution, and making urban governance a difficult task. Most studies undertaken to assess the functioning of municipalities in India, point out that the municipalities are confronted with a number of problems, such as non-availability of data. Therefore, this is the need of time to adopt spatial analysis based technology of remote sensing which includes both aerial as well as satellite based systems, allow us to collect lot of physical data rather easily, with speed and on repetitive basis, and together with GIS which help in analysing problems spatially, more quickly and thoroughly, and formulate solutions. This paper presents a case study of Mangalore city and shows how city administrators or city planners can evolve as an expert at various decision making processes by using geographic information system and remote sensing and progress towards long term goals for the welfare of community. It carried out the site suitability analysis and social infrastructure service analysis to examine the future potential of urban development in Mangalore City based on weightage overlay and service network analysis by GIS technology.The purpose of this paper is also to venture out the possibilities of GIS application in urban planning.
