Abstract
Alwar District, situated in the northern region of
India, presents a fascinating landscape marked by rapid urbanization juxtaposed
with traditional rural settlements. Through the utilization of Bhuvan Thematic
service data of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) this study aims to comprehensively
analyse the evolution of settlements within the district over time. By
harnessing the capabilities of Bhuvan LISS3 satellite imagery, the research
delineates the spatial extent and distribution of urban and rural settlements
with high precision. Through spectral analysis and image classification
algorithms, the study discerns land cover changes, identifying urban expansion
and rural expansion in Alwar District in 10 years. Furthermore, temporal
analysis of multi-temporal satellite images allows for the identification of
trends and patterns in settlement dynamics, shedding light on the drivers and
consequences of urban-rural transitions. The research also integrates
socio-economic data, demographic information, and environmental variables to
contextualize the findings within broader development paradigms. By examining
the impact of settlement dynamics on livelihoods, infrastructure, and environmental
sustainability, the study offers insights into the socio-economic implications
of urbanization in Alwar District. Other than settlement data this research
also focus on agriculture dynamics of Alwar District.Ultimately, this research
contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between urban
and rural dynamics in Alwar District, facilitating informed decision-making for
sustainable development and equitable growth in the region.
