Monitoring Change in Urbanization and Green Space for Eastern Indian Cities in 30 Years-A Comparison between Kolkata and Bhubaneswar

Abstract Advancement in technology has made a new sphere of geospatial exploration. Application geoinformatics Landuse and Landcover study quantitative analysis most clear. Urbanization process is an inevitable factor developing countries like India. Last 30 years eastern India also been changed itself terms urban development. Kolkata Bhubaneswar are two important cities where growth taken place rapidly. landcover pattern here with time. both identified using satellite images from USGS. Applying images, this paper investigated about the green spaces that time depth urbanization studied to find out overall ecological balance these cities. Different LULC classes chosen define ecology. Details landscape matrices applied which necessary get result. Urban Index (UI), expansion index (UX) (UGI) used calculate compare results Geospatial processed maintain interval 15 better understand change affected on land one urbanized as it large history whereas developed time, selected smart city for maintaining holistic approach. Quantitative application LecoS more specific appropriate actual relationship between greenspace towards sustainability.
