The world's population increased drastically and forced people to migrate from rural area to major cities in search of basic amenities. The majority of the World's population are already living in the major cities and it is continuously increasing. The increase in population forced the major cities to expand. Expansion of cities acclaimed more unplanned settlement that leads unplanned growth. This is a global phenomenon that has a direct impact on natural resources. It is the biggest challenge for urban planners to achieve sustainable development. Developing countries like India, where the population is increasing at an alarming pace, require more attention towards this problem. In this study, an attempt has been made to measure and monitor urban sprawl in Jaipur (Capital, State of Rajasthan, India). Built-up area with corresponding population has been analysed over a period of 41 years (1972-2013). Remotely sensed images of 1972-2013 (MSS, TM and ETM+) have been classified using Supervised Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) for digital image processing. Shannon's entropy has been used to quantify the degree of urban sprawl, and eight landscape metrics have also been used to quantify urban sprawl and its pattern.

Sustainable Development And Management

The issues of changing the paradigm of strategic management of sustainable development and management technologies for environmental protection are considered on the basis of analysis of sustainable development strategies. The Eastern European countries such as Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine were used as the focus group. The country profiles were made based on the management technologies used to protect the environment. The analysis of existing models of the quantitative estimation of efficiency of sustainable development with the purpose of revealing the indexes capable to assess the efficiency of management technologies were carried out. Based on the indexes of the Economic Performance Index, the strengths and weaknesses of each country were identified (based on 24 EPI indexes in general and EPI sub-indexes in particular). Proceeding from the results of the content analysis and the components of the economic efficiency index, the practice of strategic environmental protection management as a strategic priority of sustainable development is based on increasing resource efficiency and environmental awareness, development of eco-technologies and instruments of environmental management.
