Abstract :
Due to population growth and limited space
in cities, policymakers are expanding into peri-urban
areas, impacting the natural landscape. These areas are
attractive to developers due to available land and
government policies. This expansion at the peri urban
areas worsens the negative effects of urbanization on
ecological and agricultural regions. Similar trends have
been observed in Hyderabad after implementing Master
plans in 2013 and Land pooling act in 2017. While these
policies promote socioeconomic growth and
infrastructure development, they harm the agriculture
sector. This study uses GIS tools and remote sensing
techniques to evaluate the impact of urban growth on
farmland in peri-urban areas. LULC maps were
created for five years using remote sensing data, cross-
referenced with GPS data for accuracy assessment. The
findings show significant changes over five years in Bibi
Nagar Mandal's peri-urban area, including the
transformation of agricultural land into developed
areas. for infrastructure and residential projects.
