Abstract

Rapid urbanization alters links between the urban and rural areas and uses resources carelessly, destroying peri-urban areas. This situation is made worse in India especially due to lack of a legal structure to plan and manage the transformation of PUAs. In the context of peri-urban planning, the ecosystem services model's assessment of the environment's carrying capacity tend to have a major impact on maintaining the ecology as well as the economy of rural and urban areas thereby enhancing human well-being. To support the sustainability of Indian cities, this study provides an ecosystems-based integrated strategy to environmental conservation-management and peri-urban development. The "Expert matrix technique" is used in a situation where there is a lack of data to generate a general, qualitative assessment of the potential for multiple ecosystem services. By utilizing the data acquired from the Expert matrix technique over different time periods, the potential for numerous ecosystem services in the research area was mapped. The findings offer insightful information for land developers and urban planners on the trade-offs between spatial design and ecological preservation to achieve sustainability.
