Abstract
Urbanisation being irreversible and very rapid with fast growth of population and settlements during the last century, needs to be monitored and visualised for evolving strategies towards sustainable development approaches. This study visualises the growth of major Tier I cities of India such as Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai and Coimbatore, India through AHP Fuzzy based Cellular Automata Markov model. CA Markov model is considered to be one of most effective algorithm to visualise the growth of urban spatial structures. The analysis performed in previous studies such as spatial pattern of land use change in the area was considered and the future growth was modelled considering agents of growth applying fuzzy AHP CA-Markov model. The projection as predicted using the model was validated to obtain better validation and was then used to predict future projections. Modelling suggested a clear trend of various land use classes’ transformation in the area of urban built up expansions.
