Abstract

Abstract: During the last several decades, the urbanization trends in worldwide push the people into the urban areas due to large number of opportunities i.e., educational, employment, better quality of life, and land use in these areas experienced significant changes and restructuring. This paper delves into the nuanced interplay between demographic shifts and the spatial structure of urban settings, employing Vaniyambadi Town as a case study. Through a combination of demographic analyses, spatial modelling, and field surveys, we systematically explore the transformations in population dynamics and its impact in the spatial structure of the town. Based on a site survey, this paper analyses the spatial characteristics of land use change in Vaniyambadi town. The results reveal a reduction in agricultural land from 44% in 1984 to 24.62% in 2023 and further to 14.76% in 2043. This reduction is primarily attributed to population growth, the establishment of settlements, mixed residential usage, and has led to a significant loss of cultivated land, indicating increasing land scarcity in the future.
