Abstract
Use of High Resolution temporal satellite imageries and Geographical Information System(GIS) provide us present and past status of extensions and Landuse change in oukskirts ofurban centres. The present paper is an attempt to analyze the temporal urban growth andlanduse change of Aligarh city using Survey of India Topographical Map surveyed in 1971and IKONOS satellite data of various time periods from 2004, 2009 and 2014. The resultshows that in 1971 the urban built-up land of the city based on SOI Topographical Map was2224.6555 hectare, based on interpretation of IKONOS satellite imagery of 2004, 2009 and2014 , the urban built-up area of the city is 4724.7614 hectare in 2004, 5872.6774 hectare in2009 and 7059.8875 hectare in 2014 respectively. This has increased to 2500.1059 hectare in aperiod of 33 years from 1971 to 2004 and in the period from 2004-2009 and 2009-2014 it hasincreased by 1148 hectare and 1187.211 hectare respectively. Agricultural land,Orchard/Plantations and water bodies to built-up (urban) has been calculated in GIS and ithas been observed that there is a tremendous increase in the built-up urban area. The loss ofprime arable land, orchard/plantation and water bodies has been converted in to built-upurban land. The digital database created for urban growth and landuse change of Aligarhcity, Uttar Pradesh, India using multi-date data in Arc-GIS software would be very useful forurban development authorities, planners, decision makers for better landuse planning andmanagement for proposed landuse programmes.
Highlights
Almost developing countries of the world are facing the problem of ever increasing population because of their basic needs in urban-rural areas
To assess and monitor present and past status of urban growth and landuse change, multi-date satellite imageries, coupled with Geographical Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning system (GPS) are very useful and it has proved a vital tool for preparation and analysis of urban growth and landuse change map
H. 2008, Gopalan, A.K.S. 2009, Bhatta, B. 2009, Patkar, V.N.,2003, Xu, H. 2008, suggested that from the years high resolution remote sensing data have been successfully utilized for urban land use and infrastructure mapping and it has been considered a necessary element for monitoring and modelling for understanding the earth as a system
Summary
Almost developing countries of the world are facing the problem of ever increasing population because of their basic needs in urban-rural areas. In this research paper an endeavor has been made to create a digital database for urban growth and land use change for Aligarh City, Uttar Pradesh, using Arc- GIS software, would be useful to Aligarh Development Authority for better landuse planning and management. This is the first study on urban Growth and landuse change using temporal high resolution data of IKONOS Satellite in GIS and no any literature is available for the study area
