Remote Sensing Image-Based Analysis of the Urban Heat Island Effect in Relation to the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): A Case Study of Patna Municipal Corporation

Abstract: The consequences of population growth and urbanization on the urban environment, climate, and water supply have caused a wide range of issues. As a result of the rapid urbanization process, vegetation covers are being converted by impervious and dry concrete covers. This has led to the growth of "heat islands," where urban areas experience warmer temperatures than the areas surrounding them. Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a human-caused environmental phenomenon that has a wide range of impacts on city dwellers, including changing the vegetation cover and its usage, which alters the thermal energy flow and raises surface and air temperatures. Such heat islands have far-reaching impacts for cities, the most significant of which is an increase in the expense of maintaining a safe living and working environment. The major objective of this study is to examine multitemporal Land Surface Temperature (LST)/Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in the Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) from 1990 to 2022. The Landsat satellite data sets for the years 1990, 2001, 2011, and 2022 have used to investigate the impact of UHI/LST in relation to NDVI in the study area. The most significant change has been observed in vegetation cover (NDVI), which has declined compared to other types of land use land cover. According to the study, built-up area and barren land have high temperatures, whereas vegetated covers and water bodies have lower temperatures. The LST of some portion of study area is high due to the high population density and high percentage of built-up and concrete cover. The LST over the study area has risen on average by 6.88 °C between 1990 and 2022. The regression line provided a conclusive answer, demonstrating a strong negative relationship between the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and UHI of PMC. According to the findings of this study, a major transition has occurred in PMC in terms of a decline in NDVI due to a rapid growth in urban expansion, and other infrastructure projects. To study urban climate and interactions between people and the environment, land surface temperature (LST) variations within cities are of utmost importance in respect to ascertain the LST/Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect and NDVI variations in PMC. While developing urbanization, the environmental impact must be taken into account.

DPIRS as an integrated approach to asses natural resources status and development

Environmental problems included biotic, abiotic, and social problems, therefore, to overcome them, various scientific disciplines are needed as well as the characteristics of environmental science itself. As consequences of population growth, industrial development, and technological progress, environmental problems are more complex. Therefore, appropriate research methods are needed to overcome new problems that arise as a result of these developments. UNEP recommends a research method called the DPSIR (Driving force–Pressure–State–Impact–Response) model that can describe the interactions between various environmental and social factors. This method has been applied as an approach to analyzing environmental problems in many countries around the world, including Indonesia. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) and some researchers in Indonesia have also applied the DPSIR method to assess environmental status both nationally and regionally. So far, the DPSIR method is still quite well applied to analyze environmental problems, although some scientists highlight the need for this method to be supplemented with other models to improve results.

Urboekological Situation and Regional Analysis of Population Health In Uzbekistan

With the intensification of the urbanization process, the nosogeographic situation in different regions, population morbidity, types of diseases occurring among them, especially the nervous system and mental disorders, malignant tumors, allergic diseases are more characteristic of highly urbanized areas. This article covers issues related to the development of cities and the consequences of population growth, factors affecting the urban environment, problems related to public health. The amount of toxic gases emitted into the atmosphere in Uzbekistan was also analyzed. The health of mothers is extremely important in the health of the next generation, that is why the authors have developed a system of factors that affect maternal and child health. Analysis and study of regional aspects of these problems is one of the main tasks of medical geography. In medical geographical research, the analysis of regions in terms of nosogeographic situation is of great importance. Analyzes show that the deterioration of the environment, man's unlimited domination of nature, the deterioration of the ecological situation, as well as the spread of related diseases on earth pose new challenges to medical geography, which studies the causes and patterns. The rapid development of science and technology, the steady increase in human impact on nature and consequently, a number of negative changes in the natural environment have a significant impact on human health. The acceleration of the process of urbanization which in turn causes problems such: as air, water and soil pollution.

The Consequences of Population Growth on the Demographic Characteristics of Abu Dhabi City in the United Arab Emirates

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi and other Arabian Gulf cities have developed rapidly in the second half of 20th century, due to the increase of oil and gas revenues. The total population of the city has grown by 1000% over the last 42 years; according to the first census in 1975, the total population was 120,000, which increased in 2018 to more than 1.25 million, with annual growth rate more than 5.7%. This increase makes Abu Dhabi's population be one of the fastest-growing urban centres in the world. The current population increase, resulted from remarkable declining of birth rates and increasing flow of immigrants, rises from only 87 thousand in 1975 to half-million in 2005. The immigrant flow has doubled to more than one million in 2018. The non-national proportion increased continuously from 72 % in 1975 to nearly 90 % of the total population of the city in 2018. Most of them are Asians. These figures reflect the enormity of the growing role of non-national workers in the population growth of the city over the last four decades. Besides, the increased number of foreigners is creating many positive and negative impacts on Emirati society. This study investigates some effects on the demographic characteristics of Emirati society. particularly, on creating an imbalance of age and sex ratios and unique composition of labour force. The researcher applied the topical approach including analytical and cartographic techniques to reach the study aims.

Poverty, Sustainability and the Demographic Dividend

Mid-range population projections for Africa predict a doubling of population by 2050, with serious consequences for the environment, poverty and civil conflict. Despite this, aid agencies are expressing confidence in demographic trends, placing faith in a 'demographic dividend'. This optimism is based on East Asian nations that enjoyed a demographic dividend during their development. The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the link between policy, population and the environment, with a particular focus on the demographic dividend. This is an analytical/conceptual paper in which existing literature is analysed. This includes a comparison with the current situation in Africa and that when the Asian nations experienced their rise. The paper finds the two are in very different situations. This paper argues that past policies have been enacted with the effect of increasing population and raising productivity with insufficient consideration of the consequences of population growth and the diversity within Africa.

Preferensi Bermukim Tenaga Kerja Kawasan Industri Makassar

The consequences of population growth is the increasing housing needs of the community. Labor is part of the low and middle-income people should get the attention of government and developers to meet the housing needs. Problems of housing and settlements can not be regarded as a functional and purely physical problems, but more complex as the problems related to the dimensions of social life that includes social, economic, cultural, ecological, technological and political. Provision of occupancy against labor by governments or developers should consider the desire and tendency to settle labor based on its characteristics as a prospective occupant so as to create housing that is accommodative to the occupants. Preferences settled labor of Makassar Industrial Estate is divided into four categories, which are not thinking of moving their homes, thinking of moving residential, residential moving plan and is ready to move occupancy. Based on the study of labor industrial area of Makassar, obtained results indicate that there are 59% of the workforce did not think to move dwelling occupied at the moment. 32% of its workforce started thinking to relocate occupancy but do not know the right time to move on, 7% of its workforce is planning to move the occupancy by a predetermined time and 2% of the workforce that is ready to move current occupancy. Socio-economic characteristics, housing and residential environment that significantly affect labor preference settled industrial area of Makassar is marital status, type of occupancy, status of ownership and residential neighborhood tranquility.

Derek S. Hoff. The State and the Stork: The Population Debate and Policy Making in US History.

The state of the American population has been a political concern since Benjamin Franklin's 1751 essay on population growth in the colonies. While Derek S. Hoff's book takes us from Franklin to the late twentieth century, The State and the Stork goes beyond a narrative survey of population issues in the United States to offer a focused history of the political economy of population. Hoff's careful analysis of the history of American economic thought and population policies from the colonial era to the present provides an important and welcome complement to histories of demographers, eugenicists, and politicians. Hoff begins his narrative before Thomas Malthus had put pen to paper on the consequences of population growth. By laying out the tension between Jeffersonian optimism and Federalist concern, Hoff demonstrates that, even in this new national context, concerns over resource economics shaped how politicians viewed their growing populace. However, both population growth and economic growth were in flux and not necessarily in coordination with each other. The changing relationships between population growth, stability, and decline and economic growth, stability, and decline form the background for Hoff's historical consideration of how economists and policymakers have understood the interplay between population and economic trends.

Framing in Legislation: The Case of Population Policy in the Philippines

This paper investigates the political framing of population in policy discourse through an analysis of legislative documents. Semantic network analysis was conducted and results were interpreted through discourse analysis of the typical arguments identified. Policy texts were classified into three sets: population management, reproductive health and family planning, and anti-abortion and anti-FP. While the “population management” frame focuses on social and economic consequences of population growth, the “reproductive health” frame defines the problem from a health perspective. Both policies propose aggressive FP programs but each frame uses distinct political rhetoric and semantic approach in its arguments. The “anti-abortion and anti-FP” frame identifies two problems: rise in incidence of abortion and existing policy that prohibit health professionals from refusing patients information on contraception. By invoking a moral argument and anchoring on rights, these policies challenge the problem and solutions identified by the first two frames.

Socio-demographic Determinants of Economic Growth: Age-Structure, Preindustrial Heritage and Sociolinguistic Integration

This study establishes a socio-demographic theory of international development derived from selected classical and contemporary sociological theories. Four hypotheses are tested: (1. population growth's effect on development depends on age-structure; (2. historic population density (used here as an indicator of preindustrial social complexity) boosts contemporary economic performance; (3. ethnic polarization impairs economic growth; and (4. a nation's degree of sociolinguistic integration positively influences economic performance. Investigating annual changes in real gross domestic product per capita from 1970 to 2000, our pooled time-series analyses of 101 developed and developing countries generally support these hypotheses net of common alternative explanations, suggesting that the etiology of economic growth could benefit from the reintroduction of classic and contemporary sociological theories.

Popolamento in un ambiente rurale fragile: insegnamenti dal caso di Keita, Niger, 1958-2007

- study of Keita, Niger, 1958-2007 (Processo di popolamento di un ambiente rurale fragile: insegnamenti dal caso di Keita, Niger, 1958-2007). Niger is a perfect case for studying the consequences of population growth on renewable natural resources (Rnr) since it is the 5th fastest growing county demographically and the country with the highest share of rural population. Studies of population pressure on Niger's Rnr have reached opposite findings. On the one hand, studies showed agricultural intensification, densification, and natural assisted regeneration. On the other hand, they also highlighted rain-fed crop encroachment on forest, bush, and grazing land; decrease in yields; and conflicts over access to water pasture. The coun- try is using a wide range of participatory tools for Rnr management and local development planning, but there has been little discussion on the effectiveness of these tools. This study seeks to find out what the trends regarding population growth and Rnr management are in Keita Department (5,000 sq km, pop. 258,000), a semi-arid, remote rural area where only 26% of the land is arable. 30 years of increasing population pressure (up to 86 inh. /sqkm in 2007) brought rain-fed crop encroachment on bush and rangeland. Intensification is absent both in rain-fed and in irrigated agriculture. Nevertheless, since 1984 the Keita rural development program has provided cereal selfsufficiency to at least one fourth of the 1988-2001-population growth and has reduced population pressure on forestland. At the present, municipal development plans have identified strategies based mainly on micro realizations. Road construction, microcredit, and higher value-added production are not being considered and strategies to secure the next generation's access to crop, forest, and grazing land are not being defined.

The Population Summit: Reflections on the World's Leading Problems

It is difficult for social scientists to maintain an academic position on the consequences of population growth against religious or political agendas. Reform lacks both imagination relevance and specificity. Reform should give priority in Africa to very real issues such as widespread tribalism political corruption and the lack of decent quality schooling for children rather than to high birth or AIDS-related death rates. In other parts of the world reform should involve defining how many workers are needed for support of children and the elderly with dignity. Crises force technological solutions to man-made practices affecting for instance ozone depletion. The published papers of the 1993 Population Science Summit in New Delhi address a variety of issues about the relationship between population natural resources and the environment. This article discusses some of the issues presented in the published papers: the planning framework reform as a subjective or epistemic system rather than an objective or ontologic system and doomsday scenarios. The Summit planning framework recognizes that population growth is too high that solutions involve zero population growth and an increased standard of living with equality for men and women is desired. The 25 papers by 32 authors focus on the urgency of the population problem resource use demographic transition in a gender perspective family planning and reproductive health and future policy needs. Demographers and intellectuals confuse value commitment to slowing population growth with objective scientific argument. The Summit papers are subjective and a reflection of beliefs and opinions rather than scientific findings. Few recognize that later in life Malthus considered gluts or oversupplies of materials the cause for doom. Environmentalists posit shortages as a critical problem while instability in civil society and the level of general poverty are much more pervasive and serious.

Population Growth and Reproduction in Sub-Saharan Africa: Technical Analyses of Fertility and Its Consequences.

Population growth rates in sub Saharan Africa are the highest of any region in the world. From 1980 to 1985, its growth rate was 3.2 percent a year, whereas in Latin America, the next highest, it was 2.3 percent and in Europe it was only 0.3 percent. This report represents a selection of papers on consequences of population growth, underlying high fertility patterns, and cultural environment regulating reproduction in the region. The volume begins with information on demographic conditions in the region ( part 1 ). In part 2, the economic consequences of population growth are viewed from the perspectives of agriculture, household energy, resources and employment. The urban component of population growth and strategies for dealing with it are also discussed. Part 3 contains analyses of the impact of reproductive patterns upon the health of women and young children and of the region's high fertility upon the family and its resources. Part 4 deals with the main component of rapid population growth and very high fertility. This part includes analyses of the proximate determinants of fertility, how they operate within sub Saharan African cultures, the constraints enforced by culture and tradition and the causes and consequences of the high demand for children and low demand for contraception. Part 5 traces the changes during the past decade in the way sub Saharan government leaders and scholars view population policy and development .

Social structural consequences of population growth

SummaryEstimates from archaeological data of the numbers in the elite classes, non-elite occupational specialists, density of population, city size, and size of political units in the ancient Maya civilization suggest that there was a quantum shift in rate of development in the Early Classic period, associated with intensification of agriculture, and that the social structure approximated to a generalized feudal pattern.

Population and Agricultural Development Models: The Promise of the Third Generation

The author briefly describes the work of Malthus and the development of first- and second-generation economic-demographic models. He then discusses a proposed third-generation model which "examines conjointly both consequences and determinants of population growth, and analyzes them at the level of the agricultural household." A project being conducted by the Food and Agricultural Organization to construct a third-generation model using data from the Philippines and two other countries is described

The stock question

(Reporting in the last years of the first post-war Labour Government, this Royal Commission also suggested (para 353) that the importance of mere numbers 'as compared' with pre-eminence in science and technology had probably been declining. Twenty-one years later, in the last years of the third post-war Labour Government, a Select Committee on Science and Technology considered the increasing numbers of the people and called for immediate action to ensure that the consequences of population growth would not become 'intolerable for the everyday conditions of life'.)
