  • Population Growth and Forest Degradation in Guwahati City: a GIS Based Approach I.Introduction
    International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Science Society and Culture(IJIRSSC) Vol: 1, No.:1, 2015 ISSN 2395-4335, © IJIRSSC www. ijirssc.in ________________________________-________________ Population Growth and Forest Degradation in Guwahati City: A GIS Based Approach 1 Rinku Manta , 2 Dhrubajyoti Rajbangshi 1Research Scholar, Geography Department, Gauhati University, Assam ,India 2Assistant Professor, Guwahati College, Guwahati-21, Assam, India ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT : Being the prime city in the north eastern part of India, the pressure of population growth in the Guwahati city is very high compared to other cities of developing nations. In last few decades, due to ever increasing anthropogenic activities, the city is facing many geo-ecological problems. Naturally the physiographic conditions have cumulative effect on the growth and distribution of population and settlement pattern. This city has been characterized by a complex pattern of human habitation of as many as 809,895 populations within 216 sq. km. geographical area in 2001. The physiography of the area is not plain one and 20 numbers of small and big hillocks are found covered with forest which has great impact on keeping the city pollution free environment with healthy ecological balance. Among these hillocks 9 are identified as a reserve forest. Due to population pressure large number of encroachment and deforestation has been seen, resulting squeezes the area of the hillocks. The study is based on primary and secondary data collected from different sources. The collected data are analyzed through GIS software to find the output explicitly. Therefore, an attempt has been made in this paper to analyze the population pressure, changing forest dynamics and its related phenomena and encroachment pattern in the study area.
