This document analyzes residential land values in Kaithal City, India from 1971-2014. It compares the collector rate (set by authorities) to actual market rates collected through surveys. GIS tools like inverse distance weighting and buffer analysis were used to map land values spatially. Higher values were found in newer planned sectors developed by government agencies in the northeast, as well as a private development, due to their location, amenities, and access. The study aims to understand urban expansion and identify gaps between official and real residential land rates. Remotely sensed imagery from 1971-2010 was used to map the city's growth over time.

Geographically referenced US census data provide a large amount of information about the extent of urbanization and land consumption. Population count, the number of housing units and their vacancy rates, and demographic and economic parameters such as racial composition and household income, and their change over time, can be examined at different levels of geographic resolution to observe patterns of urban flight, suburbanization, reurbanization, and sprawl. This paper will review the literature on prior application of census data in a geospatial setting. It will identify strengths and weaknesses and address methodological challenges of census-based approaches to the study of urbanization. To this end, a detailed overview of the geographic structure of U.S. Census data and its evolution is provided. Ecological Fallacies and the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) are discussed and the Population Weighted Density as a more robust alternative to crude population density is introduced. Of special interest will be literature comparing and/or integrating census data with alternative methodologies, e.g. based on Remote Sensing. The general purpose of this paper is to lay the groundwork for the optimal use of high resolution census data in studying urbanization in the United States.

Urban Form and Land use Transformations in the High Mountain Town of Martadi ...Premier Publishers
Martadi, a small high mountain town has been transforming into a semi-urban position in recent years. This paper examines the form and land-use transformations by analyzing existing conditions and their potential expansion by collecting primary and secondary data through field observation and consultations/interactions with locals and analyzing the historical images/maps of the area. This paper shows that the high mountain town grew spatially and functionally outward from its core area transforming its morphology. Increasing population, increasing constructional activities, and infrastructure development in pace with urbanization are the reasons to get the transformations of such towns. With increasing local and regional connectivity, increasing trend of new building construction and reshaping of traditional buildings into modern ones, the rapid outward expansion of the town, increasing road networks and other facilities may lead to urban transformation of such high mountain towns in the future. Several modern constructions have been observed and Martadi is becoming one of the centers of economic activities in the region. Rapid conversion of agriculture, barren, and bushland into residential and the construction of infrastructure found high to make the urban transformation. The town can grow further in the future through intervention planning policies and guidelines.

Title: Research on New Quantitative Methods to Understand the Vitality of Urban Public Space
A master plan or a development plan or a town plan may be
defined as a
general plan for the future layout of a city showing both the existing and
proposed streets or roads, open spaces, public buildings etc. A master
plan is prepared either for improvement of an old city or for a new
town to be developed on a virgin soil. A master plan is a blueprint for the
future. It is an comprehensive document, long-range in its view, that
is intended to guide development in the
township for the next 10 to 20 years.
Geography is a spatial science and a 'space' has multiple dimensions to describe its characteristics in terms of the habitat, economy and society of man. Therefore, for practical purposes of spatial data analysis, we need to perform sampling techniques to identify units of survey at a certain level of probability of significance.
Pursuing any development or neighborhood plan today involves
working with a myriad of actors beyond professional collaborators
during planning and design phases. These include direct abutters,
surrounding neighbors, elected offi cials, public agencies, opponents
(often), investors, financial institutions, and regulators, all billed as
“stakeholders.” Navigating the shoals created by cadres of stakeholders
is perhaps the greatest challenge to pursuing sophisticated
ideas about and goals for urbanism.
Consensus around goals that arenot very ambitious is, unfortunately, common. However, rather thanwallow in despair about the unpredictable nature of decentralized processes, urban designers must learn to be more effective collaborators,willing participants in true interdisciplinary endeavors, and advocatesfor ideas not always their own, ideas that have the potential
to rally others around higher expectations, not expedient solutions.
Such skills are not always available in a designer’s tool kit.
Some blame the messiness of democratized processes for producing mediocrity.
On the other hand, many can offer examples of substantial benefits to projects as a result of broader community participation.
Then, too, there is that maxim among seasoned urban designers, “To
envision takes talent, to implement takes genius.”

Abstract: Dhaka is one of the fastest growing megacities of the world with a dense population over 15 million.
Being the capital of a developing country like Bangladesh, it is experiencing multi-dimensional problems such
as over urbanization, traffic congestion, water logging, solid waste disposal, black smoke from brick kilns and
industrial emissions, sound pollution, pollution of water bodies by industrial discharge and the newly added
calamity, building collapse. Dhaka is a sheer example of having poor legislative actions, inefficient
management and lack of public awareness, which leads the urbanization to an unplanned and resource
consuming development. This paper presents an integrated study of urbanization trends in Dhaka City,
Bangladesh, by using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS). This study explores
the land use change pattern of Dhaka City Corporation over 1990-2010, through interactive supervised land
cover classification using Landsat images by ArcGIS 10. The remotely detected land use/cover change from
1990 to 2010 shows that Dhaka is gradually changing as vegetative cover and open spaces have been
transformed into building areas, low land and water bodies into reclaimed built up lands. These changes are
mainly governed by unplanned urban expansion.

Abstract Knowing the character of urban growth, especially the city which has been hit by tsunami, is an important issue in urban planning. This article reports the initial finding of the character of urban growth after tsunami disaster viewed from several aspects such as growth pattern, population, and urban economic development. This study employed descriptive analysis method based on the data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the satellite images of 2005 and 2009. The result of analysis showed that the urban growth after the tsunami lasted in infill and expansion basis. The population growth was not yet balanced with the growth of built-up area. The growth was influenced by population growth and economic development, even though it was not yet encouraging in reducing the rate of poverty. The growth of built-up area should be well controlled so that it has sufficient green space and cultural conservation areas to support sustainable development. Key words: urban growth, population, socioeconomic, tsunami, Banda Aceh.

Building spatial database for cuttack municipal corporation a geospatial tech...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Decentralized governance necessitates participatory approach which is crucial for realizing sustainable development. Accordingly,
the concerned government as well as non-government agencies assume responsibility to plan, execute, manage and monitor social
welfare schemes in a coordinated manner. This in turn, relies on integrated information in the form of database which plays a vital
role in the process of decision making. Despite significant improvements made in the field of database creation and management,
problems of availability and organization of accurate data in the country continue to persist. In this context, the present study is taken
up for building a reliable and accurate geo-database for Cuttack Municipal Corporation, Odisha. The database thus created will
enable information flow for planning and monitoring of various government schemes. The study involves acquisition and integration
of spatial and non-spatial data derived from multiple sources. More often than not, data from these sources suffer from various types
of errors embedded in it. Lack of availability of cutting edge technologies within government enterprises as well as absence of
appropriate manpower with specialized expertise are the underlying reasons of errors in existing databases of Cuttack Municipal
Corporation. The present study proposes a methodological framework towards removal of these errors in spatial information. The
study is based on geospatial technologies of Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System and Global Positioning System in
generating a desired accurate and common geo-database for planning and implementation of social welfare schemes. While Global
Positioning System and Remote Sensing imageries can help enhance the positional accuracies of spatial entities, data management,
analysis and visualization capabilities of Geographic Information System can help build the standard geo-database which can be
shared by policy makers for better implementation of the schemes.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is the contextualization of land values experienced in the residential areas
of Kaithal city. Land value is one of the major determinants of the morphology of cities. Study attempt to
explore the comparison between collector (authority’s rate) and actual rates (it is current sale/purchase rate at
market) in residential land values during 2013-14. The land value data of collector rate is used which was
generated by revenue department and market rate is collected from field survey of property advisers through
stratified random sampling technique. Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW), physical expansion and buffer
analysis is used in GIS environment to establish a framework for this assessment. Noticeably, the higher land
value of residential properties are observed mainly towards north-east part in planned sectors developed by
government agency such as sector 19-I, II and sector 20 developed by Haryana Urban Development Authority
(HUDA) as well as private developer i.e. Sun City (Private developer). The characteristics of the housing unit,
its location with respect to social and environmental amenities, as well as access to jobs, services and other
economic opportunities are the contributing factors to the value of a given location.
KEYWORDS: Physical Expansion, Land Values and Inverse Distance Weighted

1. INTRODUCTION: In the present day scenario, cities are becoming hub of almost all human activities. This has
resulted in ever-growing size of cities, squeezing open spaces available within the city and has started exerting
pressure on civic amenities (1). Cities are also a part of artificial environment where humans are formed and molded
with its own culture and the physical structure of modern towns represents the existence or the absence of social spirit
(2). Land is an important resource for accommodating various activities within the residential areas of a city. There
has always been a demand with the aim of accommodation and/or making investments. Land and housing values vary
in space, whatever the spatial scale of analysis [(3), (4)]. Urbanization is a development oriented sign of economic
prosperity in any country. Expansion of cities economic base (such as higher per capita income, increase in number of
working persons) creates demand for new housing or more housing space for individuals (5). Physical space is a
requirement of all types of economic activities from residence to manufacturing and service production which makes
the value of land an important feature of any economy. The price of land in an urban area is a fundamental measure of
the area‟s attractiveness. Residential land use among the various competing urban land uses is the largest consumer of
land in urban areas. Consequently, it is usually the focus of urban research (6). It is also important for an urban
planner to monitor the physical expansion of a city because it is an indicator of development and economic growth.
Cities expansion does not only provides information regarding changes taken place between two time periods but it
also helps in establishing a trend of changes in urban growth over a period of time (7). In many developing countries,
residents of the core city lack sufficient living space. This encourages countryside development for more living space.
People can buy more living space in the countryside than in the inner city (8). Most of these studies show that urban
areas are of enormous political, social, economic and cultural importance to the countries in which they are located.
Land value is one of the major determinants of the morphology of these cities. The importance of cities in societal
development is due to their unique role as centers of innovation, adoption and diffusion and growth points (9). Large
cities have experienced rapid spatial growth because of higher growth rates of urban population and changing in
residential land use due to uncontrolled developments. Land use changes are increasingly known as the consequence
of „actors and factors‟ interactions (10). Regarding the extraction of built-up land, many researchers have been used
time-series remote sensing data in various studies and applied several techniques and methods to differentiate
continuous built-up land in urban environment. These methods included supervised classification, (11); unsupervised
classification (12); NDVI-differencing (13); integration of road density layer with spectral bands (14); Normalized
Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) [(15), (16)]. These studies revealed that, due to complex urban form and spatio-
temporal variation in time-series remote sensing data, there was heterogeneous spectral reflectance which restricted

the accuracy from 70-85%. Hence there is need of better techniques/methods to improve the accuracy. In briefly,
residential lands are the most extensive and bulky elements of the built environment. Services in the residential areas
and transport network which link them to each other play a key role in the formation of the built environment and give
the city a basic identity. The value of a land not only depends on the physical characteristics of a building but also it
depends on surrounding environment of that building and a significant difference between market performance (actual
rate) and the authority‟s view (collector rate).

in November, 1989. Kaithal is also known for one of the largest food grain market in the state of Haryana. According
to study by town and country planning department, the primary factors responsible for this tremendous increase in the
population are in-migration from surrounding villages of the district for better facilities and job opportunities, the
influx of in-migrants from Punjab during the days of terrorism and various small and medium scale agro-based
industries, up-gradation of its administrative status to district headquarter with all government and semi-government
establishment, acquisition and development of the residential sectors by HUDA, development of new grain market and
installation of sugar mill and the like led to formal and informal sector development.

3. OBJECTIVES: A temporal study helps in understanding the growth direction of the city and their effects on land
rates. In the light of the above discussion the main objective of the present study are:-
1. To analyze the physical expansion of city from 1971-2010.
2. To compare residential land rates (collector and actual) and identify gaps between the two rates in the year
2013-14.
4. DATABASE AND METHODS
4.1. DATA USED: For urban expansion studies, synoptic view of the urban area is prerequisite; hence, in order to
assess and map the time-series urban expansion, various types of data have been used irrespective of common scale
and resolution. Survey of India (SOI) topographic map (53c/5) on scale 1:50,000 are used to delineate city‟s built-up
expansion till year 1971. Open source data including Landsat-3 MSS (79m), Landsat-5 TM (30m) and Landsat-7 ETM

4.2. METHODOLOGY: Present study is based on both primary and secondary data sources. The approach and
methods used in this study are presented in fig. II.
Fig. II: Block Diagram of Methodology
4.2.1 DEMARCATION OF PHYSICAL EXPANSION: In order to achieve first objective, assessment of physical
expansion for the period 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2010 all the satellite imageries and other scanned maps were
geo-referenced with reference to survey of India toposheet (scale 1:50000) and put on a common scale. Despite
different resolution of satellite images few base ground features such as roads/railway crossing etc. identified as
common Ground Control Points (GCPs) as presented in Fig. III. These GCPs were used for geo-referencing all the
Landsat imageries.

Fig.III: Landsat Imagery-1991 (left) and Landsat Imagery 2001 (right),
Highlighted Blue Tone as Indication of Built-up Area
A standard False Color Composite (FCC) images were produced by combining bands 4 (near infrared), 3 (red)
and 2 (green) for the period 1981, 1991 and 2011 respectively. In this FCC image vegetation appears in shades of red
and urban areas are cyan blue as shown in Fig. III. Considering cyan blue tone as primary evidence of built-up
expansion, other information including municipality boundary map and other secondary information were also
incorporated for the demarcation of physical expansion corresponding to respective period. In view of heterogeneous
spectral reflectance, in this process some irregular/patched built development was also considered as integral part of
city‟s continuous physical expansion. Physical expansion delineation and land use mapping for the period 2010 is
completed using satellite imagery of 1m. resolution made available by digital globe on Google Earth.
4.2.2. LAND USE ASSESSMENT: In this study land use assessment is done for the period 2010 only. Since satellite
imagery of year 2010 has very high resolution (1m) so detail land use features were digitized manually by employing
major image interpretation indications such as shape, size, tone, pattern and association. Taking the advantage of
author‟s local knowledge, land use accuracy was achieved up to 80 % prior to ground validation. This land use was
verified by ground survey and accuracy was improved to 95% and final land use was classified in line with Urban
Development Plans Formulation and Implementation (UDPFI) guidelines.
4.2.3 LAND VALUE ASSESSMENT: Regarding to achieve second objective of this study both primary and
secondary data were collected. Primary data involved collection of residential land value data from the various
residential localities and this process is done by randomly selected 75 sample points. These sample points were
identified in such a way so that each separate residential division (ward, colony, sector etc.) demarcated by urban local
body could be cover. The land value rates as prevailing in market corresponding to these 75 survey locations were
collected from the city‟s well known property advisors. On the other side, the collector rates for the same samples
were collected from the district revenue department, Kaithal. In order to interpolate/assign land values to unknown
location (not covered in samples), based on sample points, an Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method is used in
GIS for both collector rates and actual rates. A comparative analysis is done and tried to associate these land rates
variation with the existing land use and other characteristics of the city.
5. RESULT AND DISCUSSION: To analyze the spatial variation in land values within the city, the study of physical
expansion/pattern, local and regional transport linkages, level of physical infrastructure, utility and facilities and land
use etc. is inevitable. Hence, present study briefly analyzed these factors to attain the study objectives.
5.1. PHYSICAL EXPANSION: The physical expansion of the Kaithal city takes place in five different periods.
City‟s built-up area was only 834.90 acres with a population of 45,199 persons in 1971 which increased to 5844.57
acres with a population of 1,44,915 persons in 2010. The growth rate consistently increased with time. The lowest
growth rate was in 1971-81 decades (49.84 percent), followed by 1981-91(57.62 percent) and 1991-2001(69.50
percent). The highest growth rate was achieved during the last decade i.e. 2001-2010 (74.85 percent). City expansion
has attained momentum with the up-gradation of the administrative setup of the city as a district headquarters in 1989.
During the decade 2001-2010, the city shows a sizable growth of population as well as physical growth, 2530.36 acres
5. Jangra & Kaushik/International Journal of Advancement in Remote Sensing, GIS and Geography, Vol.3, No. 2 5
of agriculture land has been added to built-up area during this period (Table II and Fig. IV).City had grown
organically more or less in radial shape up to 1990 and grows in linear shape, thereafter, built up area has expanded in
all directions but it is more pronounced in the north-east direction mainly towards Karnal and Ambala roads. The
linear growth is also noticed along the major roads mainly towards north-east, east and south-east directions and still
continues with the same pattern.
Table II: Physical Expansion, 1971-2010
Fig. IV: Physical Expansion, 1971-2010
Considering proposed development plan for year 2021 prepared by the department of town and country
planning and existing physical growth pattern, it is expected that the future growth and direction of city will be mainly
governed by existing transport corridors, existing and future industrial and planned residential developments in the
outskirt of the city.
5.2.LAND USE/LAND COVER: The total area of Kaithal city in 2010 was 9895.64 acres in 2010 (Table III).The
main category of our concern is residential which occupied 2561.56 acres (25.89 percent of total municipal area of the
6. Jangra & Kaushik/International Journal of Advancement in Remote Sensing, GIS and Geography, Vol.3, No. 2 6
city), because of its natural growth of population and migration from the surrounding rural areas. Most of the old
residential areas like walled city are unplanned but the newly planned areas like HUDA sectors and other private
sectors developed on the both side of national highway-65 and nearby bye-pass of the city. Kaithal is a big Mandi
(Market) of manufacturing parts of machine and city has 6.37 percent of the total area under industries which includes
large manufacturing units as well as household units. Industries are located on Jind road such as rice sellers, oil mills,
spinning and weaving mills, flour mills and chemicals industries etc.
Fig. V: Land Use/Land Cover, 2010
Commercial areas are mainly along the major roads and in the central part of the city, it occupies 2.40 percent
of the total urban land use. Main clusters of commercial activities are Sadar Bazaar, Old Sabji Mandi, Chatrawas
Road, Tractor-Truck Market, Nota Chowk and commercial market of HUDA sectors which also make the C.B.D. of
Kaithal city. The largest area is under agricultural use i.e. 50.15 percent, it is because the latest municipal boundary is
extended in recent years and it covers huge area of periphery which is mainly under agricultural uses (Fig. V).The area
which covers transport and communications account 3.81 percent of total land area. National highway- 65 passes
through the main city connecting the state capital, Chandigarh to Hisar. Other land use categories have small
7. Jangra & Kaushik/International Journal of Advancement in Remote Sensing, GIS and Geography, Vol.3, No. 2 7
proportion of area which includes public and semi-public (3.79 percent), recreational (1.65 percent), water bodies
(2.10 percent) and vacant zone (3.84 percent).
Table III: Land Use Categories, 2010
5.3. LAND VALUES: The basic premise of this paper is analysis of the value of residential locations in Kaithal city,
2013-14.Huge variations in land and residential values can be observed at the scale of a country [(3), (4)]. It has been
demonstrated that the land-price gradient is steeper than the housing-price gradient (17). Knowledge of the
determinants of land prices has recently been improved by careful analyses of the role of “green” amenities in
residential choice modeling and especially in estimating hedonic prices [(18)-(22)]. The analyses that consider a set of
agglomerations are often quite general about the spatial pattern of land prices within each agglomeration [(3), (4)].
Residential area is perceptibly the main kind of urban land use in Indian cities. Likewise, it is the main land use in
Kaithal city too. The area under residential use is approximately 2561.56 acres.
5.3.1 COLLECTOR AND ACTUAL RATE: Figure V demonstrates the collector and actual land prices of different
sample locations with their specific land use in the city. Collector land rates are usually defined by the local state
government‟s revenue departments or the local development authorities. There may be difference between collector
and actual rates, but any such bias is assumed to be independent on location. The advantage of this database is that it is
available for the entire country using the same methodology and it appears every year. As expected, land rates are high
in communes encompassing city center (C.B.D.) and decreases with distance from this commune (23). On the other
hand, market/actual rates are determined by the seller‟s expectation of price and the buyer‟s inclination to pay. Across
all property markets in India, the collector rates are invariably much lower than the actual market rates. This is
because: a) Collector rates are not reviewed regularly to bring them in line with the market prices and b) They do not
represent the actual indicator of ground realities. Most real estate transactions are registered at the minimum collector
rates or slightly above, which may be lower than the actual transaction price. The result is a loss to the exchequer in
terms of the applicable stamp duty.
5.3.2. SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF RESIDENTIAL LAND VALUES: Figure VI (a) shows the spatial variations in
the collector rate as per the revenue department. The highest rates appears in north-east direction nearby along the new
bye-pass road, mainly in HUDA (Sector 18, 19, 20 and 21) and private sectors (Sun city and Gulmohar city) which is
highly accessible area. It is a well-known fact that land rates in sector areas always remains higher than the other
residential areas since these are planned localities and thus have better amenities in comparison with other locality.
The dark shade in the figure VI (a) represents the area having more than 10,000 rupees per sq. yard land prices and
this patch is under the HUDA sectors or private sectors. It occupied 378.15 acres (3.82 percent) of the total area of the
city. The average prices (5000-10000 rupees per sq. yards) are presently prevails in the north-east direction and area of
this land values category is 5045.42 acres which is more than half (50.99 percent) of the city‟s geographical area.
Amar Garh Colony, Guru Teg-bhahdur Colony, Ashoka Garden, Govind Nagar, Janak-puri, Maya-puri, Friends
Colony, Vashno Colony, Bank Colony, MITC Colony and Model Town are come under this land value category.City‟s
major facilities (public and semi-public) such as main bus stand, colleges, secretariat and government hospital etc.
have been providing an environment of reasonable prices in these directions. The south, south-west and north-west
directions has very low prices (below 5000 rupees per sq. yards) due to poor residential development caused by the
risk of waterlogging, flooding and proximity to industrial zone. It covers 4472.07 acres (45.19 percent) of the total

area of the city. Patti-Gadar, Patti-Chowdhary, Patti-Seth, Odda Wali Gamri, Bhat Colony, Dakot-Basti, Deh-Basti,
Ram Nagar and Arjun Nagar comes under this category which is mainly backward, poorly developed, vacant and
agricultural land in the periphery area.
Figure VI (b) exhibit the actual/market land values for residential purposes in Kaithal city in the year 2013-14.
Market rate is a price range arrived at by looking at actual transaction prices in a location, and is a better indicator of
what sellers demand and what buyers are willing to pay. As these prices are determined by demand and supply, an
area with lower supply but higher demand will inevitably command higher prices when compared to another. Figure
VI (b) also descript the same pattern of city expansion and the spatial variations of land prices. There can be seen an
immense difference between the collector and actual land values. High land values are shown in the central, north,
north-east and east direction but more concentration is between the road towards Kurukshetra and Ambala districts
(mainly HUDA sector 19 and 20). These areas are the more developed sector, highly accessible with more road links,
good market facilities and most reputed societal areas as compare to other sectors in city and land values lies between
25000-30000 rupees and above 30000 rupees per sq. yards respectively. Additionally, it is also comparatively free
from any kind of water-logging and flooding. The range of low prices is mainly in the peripheral areas, in the north
and south direction (Patti-gadar, Patti-seth and Patti-chowdhary). In these areas, most of the land is used for
agriculture and in the east direction a big industry (sugar mill) exist, which is responsible for discharging polluted
water. In the absence of proper drainage, mosquito and its related diseases that might be a reason for lower land values
in the peripheral part of the city. In the south direction, city has expanded mainly because of industrial development
along NH-65. Notably, presence of any industrial site has a significant negative effect on the land values of residential
properties. Increasing distance from the industrial location depicts rising of land and housing prices.

5.3.3.BUFFER ANALYSIS: It is expected that the land rates is high at the center or CBD area and land nearest to
roads and then gradually goes down towards far from CBD and roads. For the purpose of land values analysis within
the specified buffer zone, six ring were generated at the distance of 1 km. radius from CBD and in case of road, buffer
is created of 100m and 200m distance. At the outer periphery of the Kaithal city, there are plenty of agricultural lands
and unused spaces including water bodies, small industries, open spaces and low accessibility etc. and these are the
main reasons for low prices at the periphery. Further, it is found that density in the CBD is not the highest as it lacks
residential space at the centre of the city. Only few families live in this zone. Those who work in CBD or nearby areas
prefers to live in the next zone to CBD so the land values changes upwardly in this zone. The CBD is occupying
almost 1 km circle from the center of the city and dominated by commercial land use. Residential land area is low and
being old part of the city, congestion, narrow streets, in efficient sewerage and water supply system and host of other
associated problems are responsible for low residential land values in the area.

Fig. VII: Buffer Analysis
Figure VII depicts that the highest land values both of collector and actual are found in the second ring from the CBD.
The values are continuously increasing towards north-east direction up to 3 km distance from CBD because of the
presence of HUDA and private residential sectors and thereafter it gradually declines towards the periphery due to non-
urban land uses and absence of urban infrastructure. Average rate of each km. radius distance from CBD is displayed in
figure VIII. Further, land rates are analyzed by road buffer as well. Buffer of 100m and 200m from major roads have
maximum land rates thereafter it declines sharply.

Fig. IX: Gap between Collector and Actual Residential Land Rates, 2013-14
5.3.4.GAP BETWEEN COLLECTOR AND ACTUAL RATE: The gap between collector and actual rate helps in to
observe the seller‟s expectation of price and the buyer‟s inclination to pay and it indications the area of demand in city.
The premier gap in land rates appears in north-east direction mainly HUDA sector 19 and 20 and it is also high land
values location. Low gap in land values (below 5000 rupees per sq. yards) have been seen in south, south-west, north-west
and east directions due to scattered residential development in agriculture periphery areas, risk of water-logging, flooding
and proximity to industrial zone.
6. CONCLUSION: Present study has identified the spatial variation in residential land rates and gaps between the
collector and actual rates. Study results shows that the north-eastern parts of the city are the high residential land value
zone. Gap between the collector rate and market rate follow the same trend of actual residential land values zone and
south, south-west and north-west directions depicts the low gap in land prices. Though collector rates and market rates are
connected, they have a limited impact on each other. While, the market rate can never be below the collector rate, a
significantly higher difference between them indicates a lag between market performance and the authority‟s view of it.
Wider gaps between actual and market land rate generate black money (house taxes and registry income etc.) which is
highly rampant throughout the country in all size urban settlements. Hence, in order to tackle the black money risk and to
provide fair compensation to the affected families whose land to be acquired, GIS based digital property data base can
well assist to revise and update the market value of the land on the basis of the prevalent market rate in that area before
initiation of any land acquisition proceedings.
