| Abstract | Rapid urbanization and industrialization have been going with urban growth and pattern evolvement in relatively developed regions of China's coast. This paper presents an integrated study on the urban growth patterns of the area around Taihu Lake, China, by using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing. High-resolution Landsat TM data in 1985, 1995, 2000 and 2005, and socioeconomic data are integrated to analyze the spatio-temporal patterns and driving factors of urban growth on regional scale. Temporally, urban growth of ATL region experienced some wavy stages, patterns changing from surrounding expansion to fill-in development and then to ‘jumping’ growth in three stages. Then on level of counties, the regional difference of urban area has been becoming more and more distinct, and the urban growth has the spatio-temporal patterns of combining centralization and decentralization. On level of gridded units, the distribution of high-speed grid clusters moves from north to east part of the study area. Most of the growth cells distribute along the main transportation lines, such as national roads or railways. Lastly, the major factors influencing urban growth are also discussed. In general, there is an obvious positive correlation between urban growth and population as well as economic development, but the correlation coefficients present a decreasing tendency. And the economic factors play a more important role in promoting urban growth. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
