Beschreibung
This book discusses the application of Geospatial data, Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies in analysis and modeling of urban growth process, and its pattern, with special focus on sprawl and compact form of urban development. The book explains these two kinds of urban forms (sprawl and compact urban development) in detail regarding their advantages, disadvantages, indicators, assessment, modeling, implementation and their relationship with urban sustainability. It confirms that the proposed modeling approaches, geospatial data and GIS are very practical for identifying urban growth, land use change patterns and their general trends in future. The analyses and modeling approaches presented in this book can be employed to guide the identification and measurements of the changes and growth likely to happen in urban areas. In addition, this book can be helpful for town planning and development in order to design urban areas in a compact formand eventually sustainable manner.

Provides in detail a comprehensive urban form (Sprawl vs. Compact) assessment process, involving physical and functional aspects Proposes a new concept regarding compact city, i.e. Trend of Compactness (ToC), which provides detailed information about growth pattern of compactness Explains urban growth and land use change prediction using various statistical-based, neighbourhood-based etc. modeling approaches Includes a new hybrid model for compact land use pattern Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
