The future success of economic growth policies depends a lot on the infrastructure development. It is universally established that remote sensing and GIS tools play a major role in various infrastructure development. Several decisions taken by different planning agencies require spatial analysis of maps involving many parameters. The GIS based maps provide the most important sources for spatial analysis. Remote sensing data provide latest and accurate maps, when used in the GIS environment, they become integrated. Also, the non-spatial data attached to it provide great help to the urban planners and decision makers. The main aim of the study is to study the growth and trend of urbanization around city/town, as well as to find out the suitable sites for further urban development around the city/town. In this study, Roorkee town has been considered and site suitability map is prepared for 1967 and 1996 and the results are compared with land use maps of 1996 and 2003, respectively and found that urban development is following with the methodology proposed. Eventually site suitability map is prepared based on 2003 land use map for further urban development. |
