Managing urbanisation and urban sprawl in malaysia by using remote sensing and GIS applications

In the global era, more than half of the world population live in urban area. With rapid urbanisation growth where the highest percentage concentrate in Asia, a relevant approach is needed in order to eliminate the possible threat that occurs after urbanisation took place; the urban sprawl. Urban sp...
