Abstract

Indian cities are experiencing an increasing use of utilities. As a matter of fact there is a wide gap between the utility availability and need for the utilities, which is reportedly due to the perennial influx of rural population to urban center. As a result the existing infrastructure gets burdened. Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) in India, growing at a very fast rate, acquired a complex urban structure over the years. The central part or the core has gone through unusual changes in terms of social and physical transformations. Geographical Information system (GIS) is one of the most efficient ways to get the hypothetical view of any object or phenomena on the earth's surface similar to the actual situation. Remote sensing (RS) technique is an effective tool for identifying the urban growth pattern from the spatial and temporal data. Here an attempt has been made to understand the urban infrastructure using GIS and Remote Sensing. The precise aim of this present study is to find out the pattern of utilities and which reason is responsible for lack of utilities and with the help of Remote Sensing, GPS and GIS to suggest a solution and how to manage utilities for the increasing population. The satellite data and Survey of India (SOI) toposheets were used to map the utilities of Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). Ward wise population and data like Ambulance, Blood Bank, Education Sector, Hospital, and road network data were collected and analyzed in order to identify areas high amenities and areas lacking in amenities. Urban growth has transformed most of the agricultural land of PMC into industrial, commercial and residential area
