| Abstract: | In the study reported in this paper an attempt has been made to develop a Cellular Automata (CA) model for simulating future
urban growth of an Indian city. In the model remote sensing data and GIS were used to provide the empirical data about urban
growth while Markov chain process was used to predict the amount of land required for future urban use based on the empirical
data. Multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) technique was used to reveal the relationships between future urban growth potential
and site attributes of a site. Finally using the CA model, land for future urban development was spatially allocated based
on the urban suitability image provided by MCE, neighbourhood information of a site and the amount of land predicted by Markov
chain process. The model results were evaluated using Kappa Coefficient and future urban growth was simulated using the calibrated
model |
