“…It has been noticed that major growth is concentrated along national highways (NH-23, NH-33 and NH-75) which serve as major transportation corridors. Even though it is observed that built up development took place in Ranchi in a haphazard manner (Kumar et al, 2011). Since past 83 years as records say the township has increased more than six times (Pandey et al, 2012).…”

The availability of remote sensing satellite data at various spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions provides enormous opportunity to map the urban sprawl. When coupled with Geographic Information System (GIS) it is possible to evaluate, analyse and integrate large data. We need to understand and quantify the urban sprawl on spatial and temporal scales which forms a basis for better planning and sustainable management of cities and towns. The city of Ranchi has witnessed unprecedented urban growth after assuming the status of a capital of Jharkhand state, India in 2000. The increasing population has put pressure on the natural resources of the city. The urban growth has been in a haphazard manner at the cost of agricultural lands, forest land and open green spaces such as park, garden and recreational forestry. The present study analysed the urban sprawl in Ranchi city, using Landsat data from 1976, 2002 and 2015. The study revealed that the annual urban growth rate was 1.76 ha/yr over the period from 1976 to 2002 whereas the annual growth rate was 2 ha/yr over the period from 2002 to 2015. The northern side of the city has witnessed more expansion in 2002 when compared with the growth in 1976. Increase in urban density was seen at the distances of 3, 4,5,6,7 and 8km between 1976 and 2015 and the rate was higher than 25%.The driving factors of the development were infrastructure, educational and business expansion. Thus, spatial analyses of urban sprawl are a prerequisite for curbing the unplanned urban growth and ensure sustainable living.

“…The area has seen intensification of land-use over the past decade because of perceived business opportunities available in the area due to its proximity to the airport. Most of the new built ups are educational buildings, commercial establishments and residential colonies constructed by migrants from rural parts of the state (Singh and Devi, 2016).This research is an addition to the basket of previous literature on urban sprawl (Feng and Li, 2012;Bhalli et al, 2012;Bhatia, 2010;Gupta, 2011;Hanes, 2011;Kumar et al 2011;Rahman, 2011;Sharma and Joshi, 2013;Sinha and Sekhar, 2016;Singh and Devi, 2012;Singh and Kumar, 2012;Stomp, 2012;Terzi and Fulin, 2009). …”

“…They found that there is a negative relationship between build-up areas and agriculture land, while the build-up increases, the agriculture land decrease. The build-up in the region is indeed unsystematic or unplanned and follows the transportation nodes representing a ribbon sprawl (Kumar et al, 2011), to 32% during the study period. Other land-use classes like grassland, water bodies, forest decreased minimally.…”

Urban areas are expanding and cities are becoming more compact due to population growth and migration. Cities in India have experienced rapid growth of population. Physical landuse change has been observed today especially in the developing countries that led to shrinking of precious land, where the impact is mostly felt on agriculture land. The growing population was the main driving force of landuse change. The study focused on monitoring urban landuse change over a period of 45 years , and to assess its impact on agriculture in Imphal city and its surroundings. The study is based on secondary data and intends to identify the process of landuse/landcover change over the different time period with the help of GIS imageries. The study found that the build-up area of the city had increased from 22.07 sq.km to 74.16 sq.km while agriculture areas shrank from 54.18 sq.km to 14.26 sq.km during the study period. Without proper planning and management, the excessive population growth will result to unplanned physical expansion towards the fringe areas in all direction.

The aim of this study is to analyze the urban land use changes occurred in the central part of Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia, from 1930 to 2008 with a 10-year interval using geographical information system (GIS) and very high-resolution remote sensing (RS) data sets. As data sources, a large-scale topographic map, panchromatic and multispectral Quickbird images, and TerraSAR synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data are used. The primary urban land use database is developed using the topographic map of the study area and historical data about buildings. To extract updated land use information from the RS images, Quickbird and TerraSAR images are fused. For the fusion, ordinary and special image fusion techniques are used and the results are compared. For the final land use change analysis and RS image processing, ArcGIS and Erdas imagine systems installed in a PC environment are used. Overall, the study demonstrates that within the last few decades the central part of Ulaanbaatar city is urbanized very rapidly and became very dense.
