Abstract :
Dhanmondi residential area of Dhaka city is an extreme example of such an urban sprawl. This area has undergone radical changes in its physical form, not only in its vast territorial expansion, but also through internal physical transformations over the last decades. This study has focused to identify the pattern of land use conversion in Dhanmondi Residential Area during last 70 years. The main objective of this study was to find out the extent of land use transformation. In this study, the pattern of land use transformation has been examined by analyzing different data and land use maps of different years with the help of GIS tools. This research has also shown a comparison of Existing Land use with the Standards Recommended in DAP. Dhanmondi Residential Area has become an area of mixed land use. But the area was not designed for that. As a result, several civic problems arise which affecting day to day life of the inhabitants in this area. But this situation must not be continued. Appropriate policies and strategies should be taken to restore the habitable characteristics of Dhanmondi Residential Area.
