The urban regions of India are increasingly facing several challenges of dealing with highly dynamic city growth and at the same time, institutional changes like decentralisation and globalisation. These kinds of changes express themselves most evidently in rural-urban fringe areas, where urban and rural life meet. These fringe areas are dynamic and have been at the different stages of rapid physical, social and economic transformations at particular time. Based on the primary survey and some secondary literature this paper makes an effort to identify generic attributes of changes in three selected fringe villages of Vadodara city in Gujarat (India). Few major attributes of fringe villages identified in this study are fringe space (the spatial expression of rural-urban fringe development); fringe area as functional unit (the functional appearances of land use, activities and fringe innovation); fringe as way of life (cultural attributes of fringe village dwellers) and change in fringe villages (a causal and temporal perspective feature in flows and drivers of change). Keywords: Urban fringe, Rural-Urban Network, Land Pattern, Social Change

A Study on Development Trend of Tejgaon Industrial Area

February 2016

Development of Tejgaon was started during 1950s by Public Works Department (PWD) as an industrial area. The first Master Plan of Dhaka (1959) also supported industrial development in Tejgaon. Later in 1968, the then DIT (Dhaka Improvement Trust) planned Tejgaon as light industrial area. After liberation, Tejgaon became the major attraction for immense industrial activity to meet the ever ... [Show full abstract] increasing demand of growing population and found its location in the core of the city from the peripheral location as designated in 1959 master plan. Incessant changes in land uses have altered the physical characteristics of the area from the state as it was designed by Dhaka Improvement Trust (DIT) in 1968. Recently government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh has taken a decision to develop the area as a commercial cum residential hub. Therefore this research intends to explore development trend of Tejgaon industrial area mainly from land use perspective. Based on plot level data it studies existing land value, ownership pattern of 430 plots of Tejgaon industrial area. Structure type and height on these plots, floor wise space uses are also analyzed. Development trend of the study area is investigated by means of information like growth of major land uses in the study area, change in land use pattern, structure type and structure height within the plots, change in ownership pattern and land value. This research can act as a base line study for future development plan related to the study area.

DAMAGE TO TALL STRUCTURES SITUATED AT LONG DISTANCE FROM EPICENTER DUE TO LONG PERIOD SEISMIC WAVES...

January 1970

Arun Bapat

Damages during earthquakes are mostly confined to few tens of kilometer radiuses from epicenter and are located within the highest Intensity Isoseismal. In addition to this it has been seen that the Long Period Surface Waves cause heavy damage to tall structures (height > 17 m). Such damages have been observed during Mexican Earthquake of 1985, Bhuj Earthquake (India) of 2001 and Pakistan ... [Show full abstract] Earthquake of 2005. The destruction had occurred at 520, 310 and 150 km distance from the epicenters of the above three earthquakes. The damage is accentuated if the structures happen to be located on the filled land. With increasing urban expansion a number of cities are now becoming seismically vulnerable.

Capability of TM data for evaluation of soil and land resources in the Malwa Plateau (Chambal and Ma...

September 1991 · International Journal of Remote Sensing

Owing 10 the advent of the Thematic Mapper with higher resolution, it has now become much easier to map various natural resources efficiently and accurately in a shorter period of time. In the work described in this paper an attempt has been made to prepare various soil and land resources maps by visual interpretation of a false colour composite from the Thematic Mapper at the average scale of ... [Show full abstract] 1:250 000 in conjunction with field checks covering an area of 340000 ha in the Malwa Plateau. The soil map was prepared in association with subgroup level and a total of nine soil mapping untits were established. Four physiographic units, seven land-use units and three waste-land mapping units were found to occur in the area during preparation of the respective map.
