Relevance of the topic
Industrialization process given birth to urbanization
In world >75 % population concentrate in urban area
High rate of urbanization, increase the cost of land, high density
of population create vertical and horizontal growth
In urban study required new modern and reliable techniques for
acquired information about urban areas
Modern remote sensing & GIS technology is effective in urban
study
Objectives
1)To analyze spatial and non spatial database for study area.
2)To analyze existing landuse / landcover using satellite
imagery in Pune city.
3)To implement the Utility and Planning for future urban sprawl
in terms of services.
4)To generate Hospital Information (medical) database for
emergency services.
Due to time constrain here considered only
horizontal growth of the city and not vertical
growth. Due to large spatial extent of the city, it
was very difficult to approach each and every
hospital (only 24 hrs open hospitals are considered)
in the Administrative ward.
Limitation of study
Pune city lies between 18

57’ East longitude.
The study area covers 229.42 sq. km composed of 144
general electoral wards according to 2007 which comes under 14
administrative wards of Pune Municipal Corporation.
14 Administrative Wards : Aundh, Karveroad, Gholeroad,
Warje Karvenagar, B.S. Dholepatil Road, Hadapsar, Yerawada,
Sangamwadi, Bhavanipeth, Kasbapeth, Vishrambagwada, Tilakroad,
Bibvewadi and Sahkarnagar.
The city is located in saucer shaped basin at an average
altitude of 560 m. from mean sea level.

General Methodology
Phase I
The first phase deals with the literature review for the understanding
the complexity of a dynamic phenomena of urban sprawl. Literature referred to
urban sprawl, extraction of sprawl, problems related upon agglomeration were
collected to have some general understanding of the topic.
Phase II
In this phase a field work, actual photographs, maps, table generation
and ground truthing was completed and compared with the satellite image
analysis. Besides this in the field work phase, rough draft (sketching) of the
present study was carried out to finalize it.

Landuse / Landcover Distribution
According to the above mentioned
classes more than half of the total area i.e. 59
percent (134 sq. km.) area is covered by open
land with or without shrubs following that 20
percents (45.51 sq. km) of area comes under
built-up which includes settlements, roads,
railway line and bridges. vegetation covered 9
percent (21.20 sq. km.) area includes cultivated
and forest land. 8 percent (18.82 sq. km)
covered by hills and followed by fallow land 3
percent (6.86 sq. km.) and very small area is
covered by water bodies which is only 1
percent (3.3 sq. km.) of total area.
Digital Elevation Model
Digital elevation
model of the Pune city. From
the map one can easily make
out that the general trend of
slope is from West to East.
Having hills and hill ranges in
the Western side within average
altitude of 800-700 meter. The
city is well bounded by East-
West stretching. Katraj hill
range in the Southern side
whereas the eastern part of the
city is having gently sloping
topography. Pashan hill, Katraj-
Dhankawadi, Parwati hills,
separates the different part of
the city from each other such as
Singhgad road and Sahkarnagar
Satara road.

Generation of Hospital Utility Database
a)In the present study attempt has been made to list out No. of
hospitals (Administrative Wardwise) with their specialty,
facility available and other emergency service.
b) At a present PMC categorized in 14 administrative wards which
are having no. of 341 Hospitals in PMC which includes Govt.
added hospitals.
c)But they are concentrated in core areas. As urban built-up
expands all around peripheral areas of the city, there newly
added PMC areas lacks special and super specialty hospitals.
E.g. Karvenagar, ward lacks big hospitals.
d)In the present study with the help of GIS one can easily
approach any kind of medical information such as nearest
hospitals providing at glance information such as hospital
location, site phone number, doctor names.

1)In the last study, IRS satellite data, SOI topographical maps have been used to map the urban
sprawl of Pune city. Remotely sensed data like IRS P6 LISS IV imagery covers large area and gives
synoptic view. The findings of the study are as follows.
2)Pune city had witnessed fast growth during 1980 to 2004. This growth had taken place mainly
in the East and North, and marginally in the south.
3)Urban growth has transformed most of the agricultural land into industrial, commercial and
residential areas. Urban sprawl i.e. built-up area increases 17.39 sq. km. in 1980 to 45.51 sq. km. in
2004. Total built-up increased is 28.12 sq. km.
4)The areas like river banks, river channels, hill slopes and foothills have been occupied by
residential, commercial and industrial zones.
5)On the basis of table Administrative wardwise built-up and No of hospitals distribution and
Administrative wardwise hospitals map,Total Geographical Area in Gholeroad, Kasbapeth, Warje
Karvenagar wards is 15.5% built-up is 18% and total no. of hospitals are only 134 i.e. 39%.
6)No. of hospitals are still concentrated in the centrally located administrative wards namely
Gholeroad, Kasbapeth and Warje Karvenagar. These three wards occupying 5.95, 2.0, and 6.46%
TGA, 6.0, 5.0 and 7 built-up and no. of hospitals present is 15, 13 and 11 respectively.
7)As compare to the centrally located three administrative wards the peripheral wards namely
Aundh, Sahkarnagar and Karveroad having TGA 17.77, 4.1 and 6.76. But no. of hospitals percentage
is only 6, 4 and 3. Total built-up percentage of these three is 23% and hospital utility is 13%.
8)Although urban expansion cannot be resembled but with proper management and planning
we can restrict and direct this expansion in a desired and suitable way, by protecting the fertile
agricultural land.
9)From the above study it may be can concluded that there is a need to develop new specialty
hospitals in these peripheral areas to provide the better medical services for the residents of these
administrative wards.
Conclusion
a)Monitoring vertical and horizontal growth over period of time
b)Generation of utility database for emergency planning
c)Urban planning, including town planning
d)Study of landuse / landcover
e)Application of advanced GIS and Remote Sensing technique to
monitor the sprawl using temporal remote sensing data
