URBAN SPRAWL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM

Background of the study

Urban sprawl or suburban sprawl describes the expansion of human populations away from central urban areas into previously remote and rural areas, often resulting in communities reliant upon heavy automobile usage. Urban sprawl is a multifaceted concept of community planning especially relevant to developed nations (and primarily the United States, Canada, and Australia), involving topics that range from the outward spreading of a city and its suburbs to exurbs, to low-density and often auto-dependent development on rural land. The term also involves examination of impact of high segregation between residential and commercial uses, and analysis of various design features to determine which may encourage car dependency.

The term “sprawl” is most often associated with land use in the English-speaking world; in Continental Europe the term “peri-urbanisation” is often used to denote similar dynamics and phenomena.^[^{citation needed}^] Urban sprawl has over the last couple of decades become the subject of analysis about how to manage urban growth.

Discussions and debates about sprawl are often made unclear by the uncertainty of the meaning associated with the phrase. For example, some commentators measure sprawl only with the average number of residential units per acre in a given area. But others associate it with decentralization (spread of population without a well-defined centre), discontinuity (leapfrog development, as defined below), segregation of uses, and so forth.

The term urban sprawl generally has negative connotations due to the health, environmental and cultural issues associated with the phrase.^[4] Residents of sprawling neighborhoods tend to emit more pollution per person and suffer more traffic fatalities.^[5]^[6] Sprawl is controversial, with supportersclaiming that consumers prefer lower density neighborhoods and that sprawl does not necessarily increase traffic. Others have argued that sprawl is less a reflection of consumer preferences and more a result of legal structures and court decisions that have encouraged sprawl development.

Statement of the problem

Urban sprawl is something that will continue to occur as long as we live here on earth. It isn’t something that is going to change, but over time the more rural areas are going to become more populated because of development and change. This can be considered a good thing at times, but others view it as a bad thing. You also have to consider the fact that it will actually play a part in having to cut down more trees and tear up the environment, and in this aspect it is not a good thing.

On a positive note, it may lead to less overcrowding- but it won’t happen overnight. Its clear that urban sprawl is something that people will consider to be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on their own beliefs systems. You may find it to be something that is ideal, while others may want to steer clear of it. It is the inevitable, that’s for sure, but that doesn’t mean that it has to be rushed into, and it should happen naturally.

Objectives of the study
To understand the impact of urban sprawl on the environment
To understand the relationship between urban sprawl and the development of the development
1. Research Questions
What is the impact of urban sprawl on the environment
What is the relationship between urban sprawl and the development of the development

Research Hypothesis

H0: Urban sprawl have a negative impact on the environment

H1: Urban sprawl have a positive impact on the environment

H0: There is a negative relationship between urban sprawl and the development of the development

H1: There is a positive relationship between urban sprawl and the development of the development

Limitations of the study

There was limited funds, limited time and uncooperative responses form the respondents.
