Evaluating the Impact of Major Economic Generator on Chance in Land Use of Peri-Urban Area Using Q-GIS: A Case Study Nagpur

In this era of globalization, most developing countries are witnessing a shift away from an import substitution based development strategy to one based on export promotion policy. As part of their policy instruments to promote exports, many of these countries are vigorously promoting export processing zones (EPZs). In view of the importance of industrialization it is necessary that the mega developmental projects be implemented with faster speed so that the socio-economic difference between the different individuals of the population can be minimized. In view of the above, this study aims at examining the impact of Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN an international cargo hub) on the change in land use, specifically in the peri-urban areas of Nagpur City where the MIHAN is established.
