    Proceedings of 8th IOE Graduate Conference Peer Reviewed ISSN: 2350-8914 (Online), 2350-8906 (Print) Year: 2020 Month: June Volume: 8 Impacts of Urbanization on Land Use in Urban Fringe (A case of Gaindakot as fringe of Bharatpur Metropolitan City) Seema Pandey a, Ajay Chandra Lal b a, b Department of Architecture, Pulchowk Campus, IOE, TU, Nepal Corresponding Email: a [email protected], b [email protected] Abstract The urban fringe areas go through lots of transformations due to urbanisation but lack of proper planning and policies in such fringe areas leads to haphazard and unplanned growth, placing enormous pressures on natural resources, existing services and infrastructures. Bharatpur Metropolitan City is one of the fastest growing cities in Nepal which serves as commercial centre of Chitwan district. The city has been growing bigger and it will have its impacts on its fringe areas. Since migration rate is increasing in Bharatpur, this is likely to spread urban sprawl in adjoining areas, Gaindakot municipality being one of them.This paper uses multiple theoretical framework and qualitative research approach to find out the effects of urbanization on various aspects and the patterns of land use changes in Gaindakot with the increasing urbanisation over the years. Managing rapid urbanization poses challenges that require urgent policy attention. Otherwise, this may lead to rapid and uncontrolled sprawl; irregular, substandard, and inaccessible housing development; loss of open space, and decreased livability as in Kathmandu valley due to unplanned urban development. Keywords Urbanization, Urban fringe, Urban sprawl, Land use, Gaindakot (Nepal) 1. Background [5,6]. Nepalese cities have been urbanizing haphazardly.

ABSTRACT Introduction Quality of life (QoL) is the perception of an individual about their position in life. Chronic diseases such as diabetes are said to have influence on QoL. Health condition changes with increased age and chronic disease condition. This study aimed to assess Health-Related QoL of diabetic and non-diabetic elderly. Methods A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 167 elderly in Gaindakot municipality of Nawalpur, Nepal. Health related QoL was assessed using World Health Organization QoL Instrument scale. Data was analyzed using descriptive as well as inferential statistics. Results Among the diabetic respondents, highest mean score was obtained in social relationship (68.76), whereas environmental health (69.02) holds highest mean score among non-diabetic. Non- diabetics were in better position in terms of both psychological (63.23 vs 55.77) and physical health (62.23 vs 57.15) than diabetics. Overall QoL and overall health perception were found to be significantly correlated with all domains of QoL at (p<0.05) and (p<0.01) respectively among diabetics. Age group, gender, educational status, marital status and employment status were found to be statistically associated with different domains of QoL in both groups but caste, family type smoking and alcohol intake didn’t show any association with any of the domain of QoL in both groups.

NAES envisions sustainable and equitable economic development of our country Nepal by working in close coordination with the government offices and other related stakeholders. It is dedicated to serve on skills and knowledge for the advancement of agriculture and make arrangement for exchange of views.

NAES is growing both qualitatively and quantitatively with the passage of time and we are happy to witness this good scene. The growing number of professional members in our Society inspired us to publish this 'NAES Member's Profile'book. We are optimistic that this profile will serve as a milestone for effective tie up among the professionals working in areas of agricultural economics inside and outside the nation. The publication of this book would never have been possible without supplementation of invaluable information from the life members of our Society. We are highly grateful to all thelife members for positively supporting our effort by providing theirvaluable information. Also, we fully appreciate the effort of Dr. Shiddi Ganesh Shrestha, Ms. BinduPaudel and Mr. SantoshPathak from NAES Secretariat for working days and nights to reshape and publish this volume. Every effort has been taken to avoid errors in this book.
