Feasibility studies on urbanisation and its environmental impacts on semi urban areas in erode south india use of geospatial technique

Abstract

Over half of the world s population lives in cities., a trend expected newlineto persist in the future, as highlighted by the World Health Organization. The newlineprimary challenges associated with urbanization include heightened population newlinedensity, inadequate infrastructure, a shortage of affordable housing, issues like newlineflooding and pollution, the emergence of slums, increased crime rates, traffic newlinecongestion, and elevated poverty levels. Addressing these challenges newlinenecessitates a thorough evaluation of urban planning practices to ensure the newlinesustainable utilization of our environment. newlineWithin the context of Erode Corporation, the study analyses the newlineenvironmental implications of urban design using Geographic Information newlineSystem (GIS) and Remote Sensing technologies. Obtaining a comprehensive newlineunderstanding of the current state of affairs involved gathering copious newlineamounts of data and documents pertinent to the condition of the research area newlinefrom several sources. The principal objective of the research is to assess the newlinelevels of pollution in water, soil, air, noise, and light, along with alterations in newlineland use and cover inside Erode City. Analyse how the production of solid newlinewaste affects the environment and how it spreads geographically. Analyse the newlinesocioeconomic circumstances in the study area and make recommendations for newlinehow to handle environmental problems. To identify trends in urban growth and newlinecreate models for urban regions, use linear regression modelling. newline
