Produktbeschreibung

Urbanisation has gained momentum with globalization in India. Policy decisions to set up commercial, industrial hubs have fuelled large scale migration, added with population upsurge has contributed to the fast growing urban region that needs to be monitored in order to design sustainable urban cities. Unplanned rapid urbanization has resulted in the growth of peri-urban region referred to as urban sprawl, are often devoid of basic amenities and infrastructure leading to large scale environmental problems that are evident. Temporal remote sensing data helps in understanding urban dynamics aided by Geoinformatics which has proved very effective in mapping and monitoring for sustainable urban planning. This book also effectively introduces urban growth simulation with CA integrated the agent based modelling techniques supported by fuzzy characteristics and weightages through analytical hierarchal process (AHP). Respective agent's role in development of a particular regions into an urban area has been examined based on AHP, which weighs the influence of each of these agents based on its characteristics derived with fuzzy analytical functions. Spatio-temporal patterns of urbanisation.
