Sankar Rao Dept. of Geo-engineering and Resource Development Technology College of Engineering, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam Study Area The study area of Hyderabad city and environs extend from 17010/-17050/N and 78010/-78050/ E. The Hyderabad Urban Development Area (HUDA) is around 1907 sq.km. The HUDA area is divided into 29 planning zones (11 zones inside municipal limits and 18 zones in the non-municipal limits or peripheral areas). The city is located around 580m above Mean Sea Level (MSL). It experiences a minimum temperature of 11.60C and a maximum of 40.50C with an average annual rainfall of 73.55 cms. The city is situated centrally between the other metropolises of Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore and is well connected by road, rail and air. Datasets and Methodology In the present study, IRS-1C (LISS-III + PAN) merged data of 1999, Hyderabad area is used for studying the entropy characteristics of urban sprawl patterns and their areal estimates are derived using satellite and GIS techniques.

S. Jagadish Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560 012, India Introduction Patterns of sprawl and analyses of spatial and temporal changes could be done cost effectively and efficiently with the help of spatial and temporal technologies such as Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) along with collateral data (such as Survey of India maps, etc.). GIS and remote sensing are land related technologies and are therefore very useful in the formulation and implementation of the land related component of the sustainable development strategy. The different stages in the formulation and implementation of a sustainable regional development strategy can be generalized as determination of objectives, resource inventory, analyses of the existing situation, modeling and projection, development of planning options, selection of planning options, plan implementation, and plan evaluation, monitoring and feedback (Yeh and Xia, 1996). GIS and remote sensing techniques are developed and operational to implement such a proposed strategy.

128. John M DeGrove Eminent Scholar Chair Teaches growth management (smart growth) with a special focus on initiatives to contain sprawl and ensure sustainable urban and natural systems. Florida Atlantic University Joint Center for Environmental and urban Problems Director from 1972 until February 1999. (Books Land, Growth and Politics; Balanced Growth A Planning Guide for Local Government). http://www.jc.fau.edu/staff/degrove_chair.htm

John M. DeGrove Eminent Scholar Chair Dr. DeGrove, who served as Joint Center Director from 1972 until February 1999, has recently become FAU’s 14th Eminent Scholar. Even though he now holds the John M. DeGrove Eminent Scholar Chair in Growth Management and Development, housed in FAU’s College of Architecture, Urban and Public Affairs, Dr. DeGrove remains active in Joint Center endeavors. Dr. DeGrove continues to preach the gospel of growth management (smart growth) with a special focus on initiatives to contain sprawl and ensure sustainable urban and natural systems. As always, the challenge is to move from good plans to their full and fair implementation. It should also be noted that the DeGrove Chair was created with an anonymous donation of $600,000, which, when combined with other contributions, is eligible for a 75 percent match from the Florida Legislature’s matching gifts program. Once fully funded at $2 million, the Chair’s endowment will yield sufficient income to support the work of an internationally prominent scholar in the field of growth management and development. The Joint Center envisions maintaining a successful partnership and a solid working relationship with both the current and all future holders of this Eminent Scholar Chair. DeGrove’s first task as the occupant of the Eminent Scholar Chair is to complete a comparative assessment over time of eight to ten states, a number of regions, and an ever increasing group of new actors in what is now being called the "smart growth" movement across the country. The book will be published by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and should be available in about a year.

They met to share findings from their trials and errors with new technologies, cheered and consoled one another when no one else was listening. So why are the Home Builders Association, the Chamber of Commerce, and city, state and federal governments listening now? Not only attending, but sponsoring and speaking at Georgia's Greenprints '99: Sustainable Communities by Design conference this week. "All kinds of factors have been stacking up over the years," said Alycen Whiddon, City of Atlanta assistant planning director. Neighborhoods have been eaten away by highways and strip malls. Atlanta ranks as the Sierra Club's No. 1 sprawl-threatened large city.

To spread out in a straggling or disordered fashion, n. Haphazard growth or extension outward, especially that resulting from new housing on the outskirts of a city. In fact, Portland, Ore., the metropolitan area that has enacted the nation’s toughest anti-growth laws, sprawls more. Worse than either of them is Nashville, which is the nation’s most sprawling metro of 1 million people or more. Those are some of the findings of a USA TODAY study that analyzes population trends over the past decade in the nation’s 271 metropolitan areas. Across the country, people are debating the issue of sprawl as governments try to reconcile growing needs for new housing and commercial development with demands to protect open space. The newspaper’s study shows why: 83% of metro areas are more sprawling now than in 1990.

Task Process Resources Individual Evaluation ... Teacher Resources An Introduction to the WebQuest It used to be a small town . Four-hundred students in the high school meant everyone got to participate. And government and civic issues were easily discussed across the back fence - settled at a town council meeting that everybody could attend. Then came the suburbs, inching closer to Stilwell each year until now the town may be annexed. Voices speak up and then shout: "You can't burn that trash outside!" "Taxes will probably go up 30%!" "There will finally be a full-time fire department." In real life , this story is being repeated across the country. In Kansas, the community served by Blue Valley Schools has been growing faster than any other in the state. New schools opening every year, new housing developments, new shopping areas are all around us. As Overland Park continues to grow, though, what happens to the surrounding towns? Are there other implications of the growth besides a larger community? In this WebQuest , you'll play the role of a community member involved in the decision to annex the town of Stilwell into the larger city of Overland Park. By the end of the WebQuest, you will have researched the issue of suburban growth from the perspective of a community member and collaborated on a plan for appropriate growth of a community.
