FRACTAL PARAMETERS OF SLUM SETTLEMENTS: WAVE-SPECTRUM ANALYSIS (STUDY OF KARACHI)

Fractal parameters of slum settlements, such as those in Karachi, can provide valuable insights into these communities' spatial organization and growth patterns. In this research, considering the areas or Kachi Abadies (KAs) an ‘urban malignancy’ spectral (spectrum) analysis method Fourier transform is used to analyse patterns population distribution Karachi city based on its dynamics. The study uses mathematical experiments empirical calculate fractal dimension for exploring urban parameter relationships form growth. data land use Abadis (KKAs) are attain numerical values all parametric relations. calculated results showed a close coherence.
