Abstract
The use of satellite images with maps acquired from various government bodies and census publications have been the main ingredients for the outcome of this small pilot study. The utility of both traditional and modern tools of geography and its allied disciplines has been brought out to show how these tools can be used for urban growth mapping using various multitemporal data and its combination with quantitative details to bring out the urban temporal behaviour. The causes of the urban predominated growth pattern in the bangalore-Mysore corridor have been highlighted through this paper. Emphasising qualitatively the reasons behind such growth. |
