Abstract:
The urbanization process effects both structure and function of the cities. Therefore, the analysis
of morphological patterns of a particular urban area have evolved as a result of varying factors of
demographics, level of economic development, political structure, environmental effects, etc.
Hence, analyzing of urban morphology is necessary for predicting the urban changes such as
impact of climatic changes in urban context and understanding the urban processes such as urban
sprawl onto agricultural lands and wild habitats, and the expansion of residential landuse at the
urban fringe. To understand and predict the urban processes, it is needed to monitor and
characterize the spatial patterns of the urban area by observing them at different states in time.
