Peripheral zones are being pushed by urbanization much beyond their previous extents. Moreover, dispersed developments along the highways/motorways and unplanned expansion of existing urban centres is instigating a substantial loss of vegetation and open spaces. This research is an effort to analyse the relationship between urban expansion and land use/cover change using a combination of remote sensing, census and field data. Rawalpindi has been chosen as a study area because of its rapidly changing population density and land cover over the last few decades, and availability of satellite and census data. Landsat MSS and TM images of 1972, 1979, 1998 and 2010 which are compatible with the 1972, 1981, 1998 and 2012 Census of Pakistan dates were classified using the Maximum Likelihood classifier. The results of the assessment of classification accuracy yielded an overall accuracy of 75.16%, 72.5%, for Landsat MSS 1972, 1979 images and 84.5% and 87.1% for Landsat TM 1998 and 2010 images. Results reveal that the built up area of the study area has been increased from 7,017 hectares to 36,220 hectares during the 1972 -2012 period. This expansion has been accompanied by the loss of agricultural and forest land. There has been a decrease of approximately 10,000 hectares in cropped area and 2,000 hectares in forest land of the study area during the 1998-2012 inter-censal period. Corroboration of official census data, remote sensing results and field based qualitative data supports the view that high population growth rate, industrialization, better educational and transportation facilities and proximity of the study area to the capital (Islamabad) are the major factors of urban expansion and resulting land cover changes The present research is expected to have significant implications for other rapidly urbanizing areas of Pakistan in particular, and the Global South in general, in delivering baseline information about long term land use/cover changes. i

    The Pakistan Journal of Forestry Vol.59(2), 2009 SOCIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON WATERSHED MANAGEMENT IN PAKISTAN - A REVIEW Tariq Mahmood1 and Zulfiqar Ali2 ABSTRACT Pakistan is a sub-tropical country lying between 24º 37º Northern Latitudes and 61º 75º Eastern Longitude. Out of total land area of Pakistan, 26.6 million hectares comprised of the uplands where the critical watersheds of the various zones are located, however it is highly regretted to state that due to anthropogenic pressure about 60−70% of these watersheds are in depleted condition (Ashraf, 1991). It means that the community’s needs are to be met through optimal utilization of these valuable resources using technological advancements, avoiding every kind of deterioration and degradation under improper use. The ever increasing human and livestock population has been exerting strong pressures on these natural resources in a watershed to fulfill the requirements of water, land, food, fiber, fuel, timber and other resulting in the disappearance of forests, expansion of desertification, soil erosion and flooding of rivers, thus threatening the life on the planet earth. The importance of soil conservation/watershed management was first realized in the sub- continent at the start of the 19th century but the systematic work on this started in 1954 under “Erosion control and soil conservation project” in NWFP. United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held at Rio-de-Janerio, Brazil in June, 1992 approved a new kind of development that is human-sustainable and shared, emphasizing the involvement of the local community at all levels of planning and implementation. Review of the most of the sociological studies conducted so far in Pakistan under this approach revealed that this approach not only made these projects successful but also helped in prolonging their vitality for the welfare of the population.

After the division of the Subcontinent in 1947 they migrated to East Bengal (from 1955 known as East Pakistan), despite stronger cultural and linguistic ties (they were Urdu, not Ben- gali, speakers) connecting them with West Pakistan. In 1971, after East Pakistan became independent and Bangladesh was formed, these so-called ‘Biharis’ were placed by the authori- ties of the newly formed republic in the camps, from which they were supposed—and they hoped—to be relocated to Pa- kistan.

In undivided India they had been his flight commanders in the Royal Indian Air Force. They and my father had fought in World War II together, flying Hurricanes and Spitfires over Burma and also after the war. Both these officers later went on to head the Pakistan Air Force.

  • Assessing the 2017 Census of Pakistan Using Demographic Analysis: a Sub-National Perspective
    WWW.OEAW.AC.AT VIENNA INSTITUTE OF DEMOGRAPHY WORKING PAPERS 06/2019 ASSESSING THE 2017 CENSUS OF PAKISTAN USING DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS: A SUB-NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE MUHAMMAD ASIF WAZIR AND ANNE GOUJON Vienna Institute of Demography Austrian Academy of Sciences Welthandelsplatz 2, Level 2 | 1020 Wien, Österreich [email protected] | www.oeaw.ac.at/vid DEMOGRAPHY OF INSTITUTE VIENNA – VID Abstract In 2017, Pakistan implemented a long-awaited population census since the last one conducted in 1998. However, several experts are contesting the validity of the census data at the sub-national level, in the absence of a post-enumeration survey. We propose in this paper to use demographic analysis to assess the quality of the 2017 census at the sub- national level, using the 1998 census data and all available intercensal surveys. Applying the cohort-component method of population projection, we subject each six first-level subnational entities for which data are available to estimates regarding the level of fertility, mortality, international, and internal migration. We arrive at similar results as the census at the national level: an estimated 212.4 million compared to 207.7 million counted (2.3% difference). However, we found more variations at the sub-national level. Keywords Census, population projections, reconstruction, Pakistan, Pakistan provinces.

  • Impact of Urbanization on Inflows and Water Quality of Rawal Lake
    Pak. j. sci. ind. res. Ser. A: phys. sci. 2016 59(3) 167-172 Impact of Urbanization on Inflows and Water Quality of Rawal Lake Muhammad Awaisa, Muhammad Afzala*, Massimiliano Grancerib and Muhammad Saleemc aCentre of Excellence in Water Resources Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan bUniversité Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, 5 Boulevard Descartes, 77420 Champs-Sur-Marne, France cWater & Resource & Environmental Engineering, Jubail University College, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (received September 9, 2015; revised November 15, 2015; accepted December 7, 2015) Abstract. Two phenomena playing important role in affecting water resources all over the world are: urbanization and climate changes. Urban and peri-urban water bodies are very vulnerable to these phenomena in terms of quality and quantity protection. This study was aimed to perceive the impact of ever-increasing urbanization on water quality in the catchment area of Rawal Lake. Rawal Lake supplies water for domestic use to Rawalpindi city and Cantonment area. The water was found biologically unfit for human consumption due to total and faecal coliformus counts higher than WHO limits. Similarly, turbidity and calcium was more than WHO standards. There should be detailed study on climate change parallel to urbanization in the Rawal catchment to quantify its impacts on water quality and inflows. Keywords: urbanization, inflows, water quality, Rawal Lake, Korang River Introduction estimate over 130,000 km of streams and rivers in the Islamabad and Rawalpindi are two very important cities United States are impaired by urbanization (USEPA, of Pakistan. Rawal Dam is constructed on Korang river 2000). Urbanization has had similarly devastating effects on stream quality in Europe (House et al., 1993).
