Abstract:
From the time man give up his nomad way of life and started to occupy and cultivate land, the concept of land sub-division has been related with the laymen society 'With time evolved certain rules and regulation that were pertaining to land sub-division thus controlling it to suit ones social cultural and economic background. But with the resent advances in the social and economic aspects which lead to unprecedented land (uncontrolled) growth in society land subdivision activities also increased. This increase in land subdivision activity is two fold. On one hand the land was subdivided very rapidly, and on the other hand the average size of a plot became smaller and smaller. One of the Built environment badly affected by the increase in activity is the sub urban areas. This has led to the more negative effects and less positive effects on the Built environment. Not due to any interest negative aspects of land subdivision, but purely to the way it was earned out. Therefore it is necessary to study the effect of land subdivision on sub urban areas and how to exploit the positive effects of land subdivision and to minimize negative effects.
