Abstract:
Rapid urban development and increasing land use changes due to increasing
population and economic growth is being witnessed in India and other developing
countries. Urbanization is one of the most powerful socioeconomic components
of the modern society. It is a dynamic force since it undergoes considerable
spatial and temporal variations. In cities like Bhopal this variation is more
pronounced in the peripheral areas due to rapid horizontal expansion which has
outpaced the vertical expansion of the city. In addition, the rapid growth of city
which has triggered the infrastructure development like modern highways,
proliferation of more automobiles etc. facilitates such horizontal expansion of the
city and more and more people were found to shift from agricultural to
nonagricultural occupation.
Hence, it is logical to expect that a proper utilization of land and better
implementation of rules and norms in the fringe areas is basic for effective urban
planning. But by literature reviews it is found that there is building bylaws for
planning area but beyond planning area it is not applicable and but still the area
beyond planning boundary developing as per urban characteristics reserve own
identity, property which generally does not match the property same of
surrounding development trend within planning area . Hence in the study analyze
the both fringe areas development pattern first within the planning area and
second beyond the planning area by temporal spatial pattern, and comparison
between urban by laws in the city planning area and present scenario of fringe
area beyond planning area, and suggest some policy, regulation standards to
control those increasing development which will support the upcoming
development trend of city and would be a complimentary development for city
sprawl.
This study demonstrate the urbanization process within fringe area and
gap findings between the urban norms and existing development in urban
characterized rural area. And also an approach to regulate the development in
fringe area.
