1 [ VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 2 I APRIL JUNE 2018] E ISSN , PRINT ISSN Urban Expansion of the City Kolkata since last 25 years using Remote Sensing Soumita Banerjee Researcher, Faculty Council of Science (Geography), Jadavpur University. Received: March 17, 2018 Accepted: April 20, 2018 ABSTRACT Urban Sprawl or the continuous process of expansion of a city in both the terms of its physical and demographical characteristics is perhaps the most triggering factor for the urban environmental degradation. The city of Kolkata is no exception in terms of the unplanned growth. A study has shown that over last thirty years, this city has expanded over almost 8 sq. km area due to the reasons like high population pressure, industrialization, new family structure, housing investment etc. This paper aims at showing the increasing rate of urban expansion on the satellite images from the year 1993 till date at an interval of twelve years along with the directional analysis and seeks some suitable measures to plan for a sustainable urban sprawl. Keywords: Urban Sprawl, LANDSAT, Urban Expansion, Landscape Change. Introduction: Urban Sprawl or Urban Expansion is the unplanned or the unwanted growth of a city towards its adjacent rural areas at the cost of urban environmental quality due to High population pressure, Lower land rates, Improvement of infrastructure, Rise in standard of living, Lack of urban planning, Lower tax rates etc. The effects of this expansions result mainly into land use change and consequent increase in traffic and public infrastructure, health issues, environmental issues and changed social lives. For this study the Kolkata Municipal Corporation area Kolkata (22 28 N to N and E to E) is selected but for parameters like drainage, roads the map of Kolkata Metropolitan Area is needed to be studied. As the record of year 2016 is concerned, Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA) holds a population of 5,017,208 (5 million) in an area of 1851 square kilometre and within that proper KMC region is of 185 square kilometres being divided into 144 wards. Actually, Kolkata long back in the decades of 1690, was a port. In the 19 th century the Britishers started to raise industries here. Consequently, population started to concentrate and that trend of migration for a better life from the whole Eastern India still continues giving the population a real hike Objectives: The Paper aims To study the pattern of urbanisation in the city of Kolkata and its suburbs. To measure the growth of urban sprawl specially the change of land use pattern to allow this growth. To suggest some measures to make this expansion in a better planned way. Database: The database for the remote sensing portion was catered by LANDSAT Images for the year 1993, LANDSAT ETM Image for the year 2005 and 2016 LANDSAT ETM + Images and the statistical data has been mainly derived from the official website of world population review and Census of India,2011. Methodology: Statistical Analysis and Image Classification with help of the software ERDAS were taken as far as the methodology is concerned. The Scenario of Population in the city of Kolkata: Kolkata has been experiencing a strict rise in population since the beginning of this millennium and specially they are making themselves accommodated in the city sprawl area. 422 IJRAR- International Journal of Research and Analytical Reviews Research Paper

The major effect that it has put was on the land use converting the green spaces into the human habitations. The LANDSAT images are classified to show the changes in the land use patterns over the years. 424 IJRAR- International Journal of Research and Analytical Reviews Research Paper

Revitalising the old hubs of a city. Providing a sense of place. Expansion of Public Transports. Over all a centralised approach than a decentralised one. A city when it is already built it is very hard to apply something new in case of infrastructures or change the perception of the living citizens over there- promoting urban green roof, kitchen gardens can be some effective ways to negate the impacts of urban sprawl at the grass root level and then it can be penetrated in the higher levels of Urbanism.
