Urban sprawl poses a significant global and national challenge, characterized by the unplanned, rapid expansion of urban areas into surrounding rural landscapes. This phenomenon has been particularly pronounced in India, with cities experiencing exponential growth driven by population increase, rural-to-urban migration, and economic development. Like many other cities in India, Yamunanagar city grapples with the consequences of urban sprawl, including environmental degradation, loss of agricultural land, and strained infrastructure. Understanding the dynamics of urban sprawl is crucial for effective urban planning and sustainable development. This study focuses on exploring the patterns of urban sprawl in Yamunanagar city, utilizing Landsat satellite data spanning from 1994 to 2024. Zone and direction-wise built-up area analyses are conducted to discern patterns of urban expansion. Furthermore, the FRAGSTATS 4.2 software was employed to identify and quantify various landscape metrics, shedding light on landscape fragmentation and spatial patterns of urbanization. The findings reveal significant increases in built-up areas, particularly in certain zones and directions, indicative of urban sprawl. Landscape metrics provide insights into the fragmentation and configuration of metropolitan regions. This research contributes to understanding urbanization dynamics in Yamunanagar and offers valuable insights for sustainable urban planning and management in rapidly developing regions.
