  • Density Indexes in Determining an Urban Sprawl Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques
    International Conference on Urban and Regional Planning, 2014 Density Indexes in Determining an Urban Sprawl using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques. NORZAILAWATI MOHD NOOR, ALIAS ABDULLAH AND NUR AULIA ROSNI Urban and Regional Planning Department Kulliyah Architecture and Environment Design International Islamic University Malaysia 50278 Kuala Lumpur Email:[email protected] Abstract Urban density represents the amount of land occupied by a number of residents and an important factor in understanding how cities function. It is one of the essential components in measuring urban sprawl. The urban density index provides a measure of how much land is consumed per capita for a patch of new development. It is commonly asserted that higher density cities are more sustainable than low density cities because it consumes more land for each resident leaving less of the landscape able to function in other capacities. While some researcher argue that low-density urban area contributed to sprawl, others have counter that higher density results in more negative impact. Characterizing urban sprawl by using density index requires suitable and proper technique. This research attempts to study the measurement of sprawl by using density index with Remote Sensing and Geo-information System (GIS) approach. The SPOT-5 images with 2.5 meters resolution were used and combined with GIS database to analyse the growth of sprawl in Kuala Lumpur metropolitan due to its high-density development. To achieve a better urban development and infrastructure planning in the future, it is crucial for the City Hall to know sprawl phenomenon in Kuala Lumpur, its types, distribution, factors, and the way it is likely to move in the years to come.
