Urban Landuse: A Model Analysis of Panskura Municipality in West Bengal

Dr. Nirmalya Das


Abstract: Rapid urban growth is a common phenomenon of the developing countries. Now, in India about 30 percent of the people are living in urban areas but in all respect urbanization does not mean the higher economic growth. Increasing urbanization means a lot of land has been converted from rural to urban. This conversion is responsible for quick changes of landuse and land cover in urban areas. So, information of land use and land cover change is highly necessary for different groups. Analyzing and modelling these changes, therefore, provide better information for urban planners and decision makers to design strategies and solutions to manage the impacts of land use and land cover changes in both spatial and temporal scales. Viewing the present scenario, the author has tried to focus on urban land use concentration model and ultimately develop the pattern of urban land use specialization and diversification status.


Keywords: Urban growth, landuse changes, landuse concentration, landuse specialization
