The document discusses the impact of urbanization on agricultural lands in Armoor, Nizamabad, India. It notes that Armoor has experienced rapid population growth, with the population increasing by nearly 50% between 2001 and 2011. This urban growth has caused problems like inadequate infrastructure, pollution, and the creation of slums. The document also examines solid waste management challenges in Armoor and Nizamabad more broadly, such as uncollected waste and groundwater contamination. It concludes that Armoor needs improved waste disposal and management systems to deal with its growing population and waste production.

2. INTRODUCTION
• The increase in the proportion
of urban population over time, calculated as
the rate of growth of the urban population
minus that of the total population.
• Positive rates of urbanization result when
the urban population grows at a faster rate
than the total population.

3. • The definition of ‘urban’ varies from country
to country, and, with periodic reclassification,
can also vary within one country over time,
making direct comparisons difficult.
• In 2010, 3.5 billion people lived in areas
classified as urban.

4. • An urban area can be defined by one or more of the
following: administrative criteria or political boundaries
(e.g., area within the jurisdiction of a municipality or
town committee), a threshold population size (where
the minimum for an urban settlement is typically in the
region of 2,000 people, although this varies globally
between 200 and 50,000), population density,
economic function (e.g., where a significant majority of
the population is not primarily engaged in agriculture,
or where there is surplus employment) or the presence
of urban characteristics (e.g., paved streets, electric
lighting, sewerage).

5. Urban growth
• The (relative or absolute) increase in
the number of people who live in towns and
cities.
• The pace of urban population growth depends
on the natural increase of the urban
population and the population gained by
urban areas through both net rural-urban
migration and the reclassification of rural
settlements into cities and towns

6. OBJECTIVES
• To Study The Impact Of Urban Growth In
Study Area
• To find out the factors influencing urban
growth in the study area.

7. Methodlogy
• I used both primary and secondary method
for the analysis of this paper as primary data
was collected through personal questionnaire
from the people in the districts.
• Secondary data was collected from
articles,newspapers,journals,websites,books,
and census,

8. Study Area
• Armoor or Armur is a town in Nizamabad
district in the state of Telangana in India.
• Armoor is situated on NH 7 and NH 16 In earlier
days named it as Navanathapuram hence it has
nine mountains around the town then it is
became Armoor (aru + mudu = 9 mountains), .
• Coordinates-18°48′N 78°17′E Coordinates:
18°48′N 78°17′E

10. Demographics
• Total Population in 2011 census is
approximately 71,000 a growth of nearly 50
percent from 2001 census which is 45,837.

11. Solid waste management
• In Nizamabad Town the Solid waste is generated
175 metric tons per day but an average of 140
metric tons of solid waste is collected per day
that means 35 metric tons per day is remained un
collected which dumped in open and
contaminates the ground and surface water.
• As Urbanization and Modernization continues to
take place, the management of solid waste is also
becoming a major environmental and public
health concern in urban areas of many
developing countries.

12. • A typical solid waste management system in
place like Nizamabad has lot of problems such
as collection, open dumping, burning MSW
and (water / Air / Soil) pollution control.
• The solid waste is dumped in open areas.

13. • The public sanitation system is lacks because
of inadequate planning in Nizamabad as well
as unsustainable solid waste management.
• Indian cities are often characterized by poorly
rendered services including Solid waste
management..

14. • In Mysore India the city is found to be highly
efficient in collection of waste, transportation,
dumping and Segregation of waste in to Dry
&Wet .
• Solid waste Management activities practiced
very effectively.
• The collection efficiency is also maximum
extent

15. causes
• Urbanisation means an increase in the
proportion of people living in urban areas
compared to rural areas.
• An urban area is a built-up area such as a
town or city. A rural area is an area of
countryside.

16. Problems
• The problems associated with urbanization
are: High population density, inadequate
infrastructure, lack of affordable housing,
flooding, pollution, slum creation, crime,
congestion and poverty. This problem of high
population density is caused due to the heavy
rate of migration from rural areas

17. Affect of urbanization
• The precise demographic definition
of urbanization is the increasing share of a
nation's population living in urban areas (and
thus a declining share living in rural areas).
Most urbanization is the result of net rural to
urban migration. ... The termurbanization is
also used for the expansion of urban land
uses.

18. • Traffic congestion and noise pollution are
major environmental impacts of large cities.
• There is increasing competition for facilities
due to the high standard of living in urban
areas, which has triggered several
negative effects:- Slums and
its consequences of overcrowding

19. Negative effects of urbanization
• Environmental Effects of Urbanization. Urban
populations interact with their environment.
Urban people change their environment
through their consumption of food, energy,
water, and land. And in turn, the polluted
urban environment affectsthe health and
quality of life of the urban population.

20. Conclusion
• Unscientific and Poorly designed or poorly
managed landfills will create adverse
environmental impacts; well managed, scientific
landfill can be a hygienic and relatively
inexpensive method for disposing waste material
is used.
• Incineration is controversial method of waste
disposal, due to amine as of gaseous pollutants.
• .

21. • Nizamabad a town which has a proper
dumping yard and need the collected solid
waste should be properly handled or managed
to see that ground water should not be
contaminated with degradable or non
degradable waste.
• A treatment plant is required for recycling

22. • The municipality should have a proper plan and
implement the system keeping in view of
increasing population in the area.
• Public participation and co-operation awareness
for the clean environment will be a successful
operation in Nizamabad town.
• Education and Awareness in the area of waste
and waste management is an important aspect
from a global perspective of source management.
• Every urban domestic household be provided
with bins for recyclable and non recyclable waste.

23. • House hold waste is segregated, recyclables
be made in to new product like vermi
compost, General waste such as non
recyclable wastes will be shifted to landfill
area.
• It is a common practice in most of the under
developing countries that the disposing of
waste in landfills of abandoned areas.

24. • Poorly managed landfills leads to a number of
environmental impacts, for example the wind current
will carry the litter to different clean places, attracting
different types of insects, animals and also leads to the
formation of methane gas and carbon dioxide.
• This creates a filthy odor problem for the near-by
residential areas, the formed waste material that is
organic in nature can be recycled. The waste gases
from the process, such as methane can be used for
cooking purposes, it also generate heat and electricity.
