Today, India still remains a rural agricultural country although
the share of urban population has also increased but these figures
do not tell the whole story. There are evidences that urban growth
is dispersed and urban sprawl promotes the spread of urban land use
into the rural-urban fringe.
Here the attempt is to investigate the land transformation and
the driving forces which were influencing the land transformation.
The present study was done on peri urban interface of Aligarh city,
a relatively small city, but as other north Indian cities, it is
also expanding rapidly. Moreover, it too is surrounded by a
populous rural area with productive and rich agricultural
hinterland. Such conditions give rise to many conflicts and
mutually beneficial complementarities in the rural and urban
spheres.
The result shows that the demand for land is high which results
in informal urban development fulfilling the requirements of many
of the city s residents. Every piece of land is a tradable
commodity, and the pursuit of short-term profits is the predominant
ethic. The actors in PUI are strong because it is characterized by
intermixing of rural and urban activities and interests as well as
the number of actors are greater than in any other area.."
