An Assessment of Land Use Changes Influenced By Urbanization: Implication with Spatial Distribution of Land Using Remote Sensing Technique

Abstract

Rapid urbanization caused by land-use changes is one of the major concerns provoked by human beings, which has become a tailback to hamper the provincial civilization and economy's defensible development. To establish the root causes subsidized to land poverty, the insinuations will be rendered by altitudinal land distribution using the Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques used as remote sensing. The shift of land use/land cover (LULC) is one of the root causes of the global environmental shift. Over recent years, recognizing the global climate impact of LULC has become a hot-discussed topic around the globe. Many studies have explored the impact of LULC on the regional climate in specific cities, regions, or agricultural areas. However, the fast-urbanized areas that are highly influenced by human activity have the most extreme land-use shifts in developing countries, so their infrastructural effects cannot be overlooked. The results showed that the transition in land use had a growing influence on the sample area's regional temperature, while the impacts on land-use zoning were not so large. In consideration of the development of national land transition, the studies can provide valuable knowledge of urban planning policy. This work uses the Remote Sensing Approach and the spatial distribution implications to analyze land-use transition as influenced by rapid urbanization in Nasik City between 1985 and 2012. Methods / Statistical Analysis: This research focuses on the accessibility evaluation of th e study region using spatial analysis, gravity accessibility test is used to evaluate accessibility along with map digitization in a GIS environment. Transport improvements along with the efficiency of a zoning framework to evaluate the potential of the accessibility test for evaluating the impacts of mobility on land usage. Applications / Improvements: The verdicts referred to the activities of discovery. Realistically showed the connection between land use and sprawl. The current study aims to explain the Spatio- temporal features of urban growth and its consequences for the hydro-meteorological parameters in the Indian state of Maharashtra's Nasik Municipal Corporation (NMC) is considered one of the most important anthropogenic shifts in the environmental system. The paper's empirical approach is based on changes in land use/land cover (LULC) and a standardized built-up difference index (SDBI) based on remote sensing and GIS techniques. Spatiotemporal satellite images and traditional evidence are used to describe the phase of urban growth, while unregulated classification methodology is focused and used to alter LULC. The interpolation method of Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) is used for spatial allocation of land use and study of services. It is noted that in the last decades the overall metropolitan built-up region has risen with variations in depth of groundwater rates on the city's north, northwest, and southwest side. Notably, there have been built-up developments from the north-east to the south-east. There are pieces of evidence of urban sprawl or shrinkage suggesting that the built-up region is increasing and thus creating environmental degradation in the urban area. While the methodology used in the paper has the potential to understand the process of urbanization, the findings have significant implications for designing policies and regulations that are necessary. Such research assists the spatial allocation of land that is affected through automated technologies by rapid urbanization.
