  • Monitoring Urban Growth and Land Use Changes Using GIS and Remote Sensing: a Case Study of Tehsil Burewala
    Journal of Himalayan Earth Sciences Volume 53, No. 1, 2020 pp. 140-152 Monitoring urban growth and land use changes using GIS and remote sensing: A case study of Tehsil Burewala Sher Muhammad Malik1, Sana Arshad1, Khan Alam2 and Owais Bilal1 1Department of Geography, The Islamia University Bahawalpur 2Department of Physics, University of Peshawar *Corresponding author's email: [email protected] Submitted date:03/01/2019 Accepted date:23/03/2020 Published online:30/03/2020 Abstract Geospatial data is being extensively used to monitor the changes in an urban environment and assists as a decision-making tool for sustainable urban growth of the towns and cities. Intermediate and small cities of Pakistan are also getting urbanized day by day due to population growth and infrastructure development. The tehsil Burewala is one of the intermediate tehsil of Punjab province with Burewala city as Headquarter. Burewala city is included in medium sized cities of Pakistan presenting a kind of social and economic interaction. Urban growth of the city has extended beyond the municipal limits converting peri-urban vegetation into built up land. This study is aimed to focus on analyzing the urban growth of tehsil Burewala from 1981 to 2011 using Geo-spatial techniques. The land use changes and urban growth of the tehsil were analyzed using Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) and Thematic Mapper (TM) data. The results of land cover classification revealed that built up area of the tehsil increased from 3.3% in 1981 to 4.7% in 2011. Likewise, vegetation cover of the tehsil is also increased from 66% in 1981 to 81% in 2011.

  • Accession of the States Had Been the Big Issue After the Division of Subcontinent Into Two Major Countries
    Journal of Historical Studies Vol. II, No.I (January-June 2016) An Historical Overview of the Accession of Princely States Attiya Khanam The Women University, Multan Abstract The paper presents the historical overview of the accession of princely states. The British ruled India with two administrative systems, the princely states and British provinces. The states were ruled by native rulers who had entered into treaty with the British government. With the fall of Paramountacy, the states had to confirm their accession to one Constituent Assembly or the other. The paper discusses the position of states at the time of independence and unfolds the British, congress and Muslim league policies towards the accession of princely states. It further discloses the evil plans and scheming of British to save the congress interests as it considered the proposal of the cabinet Mission 1946 as ‘balkanisation of India’. Congress was deadly against the proposal of allowing states to opt for independence following the lapse of paramountancy. Congress adopted very aggressive policy and threatened the states for accession. Muslim league did not interfere with the internal affair of any sate and remained neutral. It respected the right of the states to decide their own future by their own choice. The paper documents the policies of these main parties and unveils the hidden motives of main actors. It also provides the historical and political details of those states acceded to Pakistan. 84 Attiya Khanam Key Words: Transfer of Power 1947, Accession of State to Pakistan, Partition of India, Princely States Introduction Accession of the states had been the big issue after the division of subcontinent into two major countries.
