STUDY OF POPULATION GROWTH AND LAND USE CHANGE IMPACTS ON SOCIO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

Alka Yadav and Dr. Tarun Kumar Yadav

This study investigates the complex relationship between population dynamics, land use transformations, and their effects on socio-economic outcomes such as income, employment, infrastructure development, and access to resources. Using a combination of spatial analysis, demographic data, and socio-economic indicators, the study examines how rapid population growth contributes to land use changes, including urbanization, deforestation, and agricultural land conversion. These changes, in turn, influence livelihoods, economic opportunities, and environmental sustainability.

The findings reveal that unplanned population growth often exacerbates pressures on land resources, leading to uneven development patterns and socio-economic disparities. Urban expansion frequently drives up demand for housing, infrastructure, and services, while rural areas may experience land degradation and reduced agricultural productivity. The study highlights the importance of integrated planning and sustainable land management to mitigate the negative effects of population growth and land use changes.
