DRIVERS OF CHANGE – AHMEDABAD CITY
QUANTIFICATION OF CHANGES
Analysing Drivers of Change (1990-2001)
Aim
To quantify the transition of the land-use pattern by defining the Dominant Land Use of Ahmedabad for
the year 1990 and 2001 using ArcGIS and Excel.
Objective
Objective of the exercise is to explain the various land uses by justifying the dominant land-use for each
cell and calculating the number of cells for different land-use category by explaining change of one cell to
the other cell due to neighbourhood influence.
Methodology – Land-Use
Analysis

Interpretation and
Analysis
The analysis leads to
following inferences:
• Around 44% of land
use changed from
commercial to
residential from 1990
to 2001.
• 116% increase in
cells of residential
land use implies the
scale of development
and spread of
development from
1990 to 2001.
• 869% increase in cells of residential
land use implies the 2nd largest
category of land use development
followed by residential use and its
spread and pattern of development.
• This also implies the change of overall
land use of all categories and reduction
in other land categories.
