ABSTRACT
The world is experiencing a new phenomena – peri urbanism. As the
population is increasing and cities are infrastructurally upgraded, there has
been a gradual shift of the urban population from the more developed regions
to the less developed ones, aimed at availing free open spaces to live, grow and
setting up new communities. This movement of urban population in large
numbers has led to formation of peri urban spaces. With no such boundary to
define the peri urban spaces, these areas are the outskirts of the urban centres
which are to be explored. A detailed understanding about the dynamics of
urbanisation is necessary for coping with the negative effects poised by urban
sprawling on the peri urban areas. Being designated as one of the first smart
city of India, Bhubaneswar city is experiencing formation of urban sprawls
around the major urban nodes. In order to further examine the need for policy
formulation, a detailed study has been done to understand the demographic,
economic and social profile of the inhabitants residing within the fringe areas
of Bhubaneswar. The emperical approach of the paper is based on the study of
the infrastructure and development issues of the area using remote sensing
and GIS techniques. The final findings of the study includes the issues,
problems and recommendations to be applicable for a planned and controlled
development in the peri urban areas of Bhubaneswar.
