Abstract

Study of urbanization of Jaipur city and its impact on natural environment includes remotely sensed data which is collected from LANDSAT ei. MSS for 1973, TM for 1998 and ETM+ for 2011 and other secondary data such as population data is collected from census of India. Land use/land cover maps are prepared by hybrid classification (visual interpretation and unsupervised classification) and calculate the statistics for different years with the help of ERDAS software. Land use data shows that built-up area is increasing at very fast rate and reached 19479.2 hact in 2011 from 1854.36 hact in 1973. Population is also increasing with time and highest growth 65.59 % is found in 1941-51 and follow 62.77 % in 1991-2001. Other land use types such as crop land, waste land and scrub/grass land is showing decreasing trend with time. The expansion of built-up area is at the cost of de-expansion of crop land, waste land and scrub land. This type land use changing trend is alarm for natural environment and agricultural land. So it is suggested that urbanization must be on waste land not to on fertile agricultural land.
