Analysis of Built-Up Area Expansion of Panipat City and Outgrowth

Abstract

Urban expansion defines the extent of urbanization, a global phenomenon arising mainly from population growth and large scale migration in nature, urban expansion talks about natural resources in a troubling way. The present research work discusses Panipats Built-up area expansion over the period of 1991 to 2017, collecting knowledge about urban built-up growth and its temporal variability. Remotely sensed satellite images collected from Google earth explorer for the statistical analysis approaches and obtained accurate results. Panipat is one of the Indias fast growing cities; the city has seen implausible growth in the construction sector. The total built-up area was only 34.45sq.km. in 1991, the built-up area reached 44.93sq.km. in 2017. Many roads and few railway lines connect the city with its surrounding area. Research may be used to estimate the possible expansion of built-up area. It will be useful for urban planning institutions in developing countries where data is not regularly available.
