Modelling Spatial Patterns of Urban Growth in Bangalore Metropolitan
Region, India
Urbanisation refers to a form of paved surface growth in response to increasing human activities with implications of economic, social, and political forces and to the physical geography of an area. Regional development is based on the infrastructure establishments such as industries, factories, construction of roads etc., and service facilities like hotels, hospitals etc., becoming a gateway for promoting urbanization. Understanding LULC dynamics provide a detailed explanation of the changes that the region has experienced. This necessitates monitoring and advanced visualization of spatial patterns of landscape dynamics for evolving appropriate management strategies towards sustainable development approaches.CA Markov model is considered to be one of the most effective algorithms to visualize the growth of urban spatial structures.
