| Problem: |
Rapid Urban growth, lack of effective planning and infrastructure deficit |
| Technical Solution: |
Spatio-Temporal and Logistic Regression model used to predict the strenght and direction of growth |
| Datasets Used: |
- Data points and Coordinates by Hand held GPS, Field Survey 2012
- Landsat Images from USGS , WGS 84 for 1989,1999, 2010.
- Images Orthorectified, Ikonos and Worldview from Kathmandu Valley Town Development Committee
- Vector data by Department of Survey(DOS) and KVTDC for year 1995 & 2008.
- Statistical Data from CBS ( Central Bureau of Statistic ) for year 1991,1999,2001,2010 and 2011.
|
| Outcome: |
Prediction model of Urban growth for year 2021 & 2032 |
| Issues that arose: |
Lack of Data availability of 1989 for LR Model,
LR Expansion model have low PCP value of 22% for built-up area.
