A STUDY OF THE NORTH TWENTY- FOUR PARGANAS OF WEST BENGAL Piyashee Mallik School of Oceanographic Studies, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India Email: [email protected] Abstract: A substantial proportion of the population of the developing nations either lives in small urban centers or are inhabitants of rural areas relying on small urban centers for access to markets, services, and government facilities. Urban development should be guided by sustainable planning and management vision to ensure mixed-use development. Measuring sustainability in urban areas is a challenging task in itself as it encompasses social, political, economic and environmental components. This study focusses on the sustainability of small urban centers in the North Twenty-Four Parganas district of West Bengal. Hot Spot Analysis and Principal Component Analysis conducted on several chosen parameters resulted in the identification of such urban centers which can act as growth poles as well as small urban centers which if supported by local and national governments have the ability to sustain in the long run. Key words: Small Urban Centers, Urban development, Sustainability, Hotspot Analysis Introduction Sustainable urban development consequent upon the successful management of urban growth is pivotal to the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN Nations). This becomes highly significant in developing nations where a gradual and sustained rural to urban migration has been noticed in recent times. The 2018 Revision of World Urbanization Prospects produced by the Population Division of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) reveals that India, China, and Nigeria collectively will account for 35 percent of the projected urban population growth of the world between 2018 and 2050 (United Nations, 2018). -
A Special Study on North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India Dr.Tuhinroy1 ,Sourav Misra2
International Journal of Scientific Research and Review ISSN NO: 2279-543X Different aspects of Land Transformation - A special study on North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India Dr.TuhinRoy1 ,Sourav Misra2 1Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, Sarojini Naidu College for Women 30, Jessore Road, Dumdum, Kolkata-700028 2UGC NET & WB SET, Teacher, Shibloon ACM High School, Purba Bardhaman-713140 ABSTRACT North 24 Parganas is an extremely populated district in West Bengal. Most of the land is fertile, so agricultural production is quite good to supply food for its inhabitants. Due to the strong pressure of the population, overall development is most important. For this reason, the North 24 Parganas are being developed rapidly. Rural area developing its own way and urban areas are also growing according to its needs. This development reflected on the land use pattern of the whole district. So the land transformation of this district is very distinct for the identification of rapid change. From the year 1970 to 2019 gradual transformation of land can be detected by the Geospatial analysis. Some determinants have been taken for detecting the change, like area population relation, changing worker category, increasing built-up area, land conversion. By this analysis, we have found some problems, which have been generated by some unplanned growth of the settlement, decreasing agricultural production due to the minimization of culturable land, etc. Key Words: Change detection, Decadal Growth rate, inhabitants, land transformation, Geospatial analysis, etc. 1. INTRODUCTION The land is a basic natural resource on Earth. It is the habitat of plants, animals and human beings for their livelihood. -
