“…The residences sprawl along the state and national highways. These observations bear resonance to the findings of Shalaby et al, (2012) who also use remote sensing and GIS to analyse the urban sprawl and agricultural land in Qalubiya Governorate in Egypt. These scholars argue that the key cause of urbanisation in the area is the rapid population growth and internal migration.…”

“…The impact is mostly felt in the form of changes in urban land-use pattern and loss of prime land of the areas. Urban sprawl had a negative impact on agriculture land where build-up area encroach agriculture land leading to the reduction of its size, density and productivity (Atu et al, 2012, Bhalli et al, 2012, Shalaby et al, 2012. Sprawl generally deduces to some type of expansion with brunt such as loss of agriculture land, open space and ecologically insightful habitats (Sankhala and Singh, 2014).…”

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 loss of cropland to urban expansion is an issue of global concern affecting the net supply of high quality farmland [1][2][3]. In the United States, total cropland has been declining since 1978 and by 2007 it accounted for 18% (165 million hectares (M ha)) of land use [4].…”

In this study, a land use/land cover change analysis method was developed to examine patterns of land use/land cover conversions of cropland to urban uses and conversions of rangeland to cropland uses in the United States (US) Midwest region. We used the US 2001 and 2006 National Land Cover Datasets (NLCD) for our spatial analyses of these conversion trends. Our analysis showed that the eastern part of the Midwest, like prior periods, continued to experience losses of cropland to urban expansion but at a much more rapid rate, as this was during an expansion phase of the US real estate construction cycle. The period showed a very small net loss of cropland as the loss was being balanced by gains in cropland at the expense of rangeland lost in the western part of the Midwest. We refer to this rangeland to cropland conversion as "replacement land". We do not suggest by replacement that there is a signal in the system that interconnects the loss of a hectare of cropland to urban land by converting a hectare of rangeland to cropland, rather we highlight this spatial trend as it raises concerns about the environmental sustainability of agriculture in the western part of the region, as production is dependent on the use of irrigation and the already stressed High Plains aquifer.

“…Hence this technique lessens the possible errors produced internally and externally. "Cross-tabulation analysis was carried out to study the spatial distribution and area of urban sprawl on different soil types" [9]. This analysis had clearly shown the trends and future prospects for predicting sprawl locations and directions.…”

This research study predominantly emphases on spatiotemporal extensions of urban area of Peshawar; its adverse impacts and contributions to climate and environment during 1931 to 2011. To probe these interventions, meteorological data, Satellite's temporal imagery of Landsat ETM+ and TM, anthropogenic and demographic secondary data were congregated. In relation to map out land cover changes, maximum likelihood classification algorithm and followed by change detection techniques were applied to study area. The outcome of this process was further subjected through Geographic Information System (GIS) overlay analysis which suggested a clear straggle in urban area. Auxiliary data (Population growth rate, transportation, electricity connections, etc.) also support the fact of urban area extension. This study proposes that severs contributions of massive heat energy and CO2 have been added to local climate and environment ensuing substantial increment in temperature drawn out from the trends. Consequently, Remote Sensing, GIS and allied data were found to be effective to gauge such variations. To eliminate anomalies in sprawl and environment, few suggestions and recommendation are made in latter part of this study.
