Slums are worldwide events and are present in almost all cities throughout the world. Unlucky children and adults living in slums are rejected from the various facilities and services needed by children and other adults, those who live in non-slum areas, so slum children need attention special. Slums provide many geographical constraints for servic...

In a period of ten years, from 2011-2020 rainfall in Indonesia is relatively high, with annual rainfall between 460.5-4,627.4 mm. The high rainfall has implications for flooding in several provinces. During this period, almost every year several areas in Banten Province experienced floods. To predict areas of Banten Province that have the potential...
Like other cities in the Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur faces rapid urbanisation and population growth. Rivers are negatively impacted by uncontrolled settlements in flood-prone areas, lowering permeability, decreasing channels widths, and waste blockage. All these issues, along with more extreme rain events during the monsoon due to climate change, h...
Sawahan is a densely populated sub-district located in the city of Surabaya with a population density which until 2017 reached 215,024 people as a result of a wide and deep drainage channel which became narrow and shallow as more and more settlements developed. And when the rainy season comes, the drainage channel in the Banyu Urip (Simo Katrungan...
Frequent localized torrential rains, excessive population density in urban areas, and increased impervious areas have led to massive flood damage that has been causing overloading of drainage systems (watersheds, reservoirs, drainage pump sites, etc.). Flood concerns are raised around the world in the events of rain. Flood forecasting, a typical no...
During the monsoon season, South Asia regularly experiences widespread floods. In 2007, heavy rains inundated Bangladesh, India and Nepal. In a sudden twist of fate, however, the 2009 monsoon season took a different turn leaving India's summer-season crops thirsting for water.

In India, around 17% of the total urban population is residing in slums. In Pune city, the percentage of the slum population is high, whereas approximately 44% of the urban population resides in slums. It led to a rapid increase in housing demand under the slum redevelopment scheme. Thus, an in situ slum redevelopment scheme is exercised when the slum is located on tenable land. But, there are hardly any proper open spaces and access to the slums. In high-density areas, this may encompass the redevelopment of the whole site to provide more living space and improved environmental conditions. It requires apt spatial planning. Therefore, the present research paper explores land suitability analysis for in situ slum redevelopment of Pune city using the AHP model on Geographical Information System and remote sensing platform. There are seven criteria considered for the identification of in situ slum redevelopment sites. These include land ownership, land value, slum dwelling unit density, slum population density, slope, transport network and land use/land cover. The land suitability map for in situ slum redevelopment is grouped into four classes, i.e., unsuitable, less, moderate and highly suitable. Land suitability for in situ slum redevelopment map reveals that 18% of the area is highly suitable, 60% is moderately suitable, 5% is less suitable, and 17% is unsuitable. The highly and moderately potential sites are low land price, open land, easy to access, located on plain surfaces and far away from hilly areas. It has been taken care of as environmentally sensitive zones are considered either less suitable or unsuitable to protect it. The study has relevance to the sustainable urban planning of the city.
Urbanization has been recognized as a symbol of development as well as a burden over resources. The latter dimension is particularly so in developing countries since the process of urbanization is very rapid. The main reason for rapid urbanization is natural growth, migration from rural to urban areas, and small cities to large cities. It leads to many issues like haphazard urban growth, overcrowding, lack of essential services, ill health, unemployment, inadequate housing facilities, and others. Such problems in developing countries, especially in India, may become acute from its current state of being chronic. Therefore, present research work is an attempt to understand the level, trend, and pattern of urbanization and growth of slums in India during the 2001-2011 census years. Moreover, to examine the association between urbanization and growth of slums in India during the last two decades. In India, the rate of urbanization and slum growth is not equally proportionate. Some states/UTs have a high urban percentage, but a low slum growth rate has been registered, i.e., Chandigarh followed by Pondicherry, Goa and Mizoram. In comparison, some states have low urban population growth, but a high percentage of the slum population is emerging.
