Impact Of Urban Growth On Landuse , A Case Study Of Guwahati City, Assam.
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Change in ratio of total population and settlement area are real indicator of urbanisation. Urbanisation is defined as shift of population from rural to urban areas (by Kingsley Davis). Rural to urban migration is happening on a massive scale due to population pressure and opportunities for jobs in urban areas for general livelihood as well as industrialization .India's urban populations was 17.92% of total populations of India during 1961 (i.e 79 million).Over the year due to population pressure/migration to urban areas it has increased to 31.30 % of total population as per 2011 census. The total population during 2011 census was 388 million. Urban sprawl has resulted in loss of productive agricultural lands, open green spaces and loss of surface water bodies. In this study, an attempt has been made to monitor land use/land cover of part of Guwahati city over periods of time ( i.e. from 1972 to 2016). Satellite remote sensing and GIS is found to be an very effective tool for spatial change detection analysis and inventory of urban areas.
