    Spatial Pattern Of Urban Crime in Bathinda City Using Geographical Information System
    (Central University of Punjab, 2018) Kaur, Arshdeep; Singh, Kiran K.
    Cities are place of hope and opportunity not only for people of the city but also for the surrounding areas. Cities seem very beautiful to people when they see tall buildings, malls, parks, and well-designed roads but there is a dark side of cities also. In cities, people feel insecure, even in their own streets and houses with the rise in criminal activities. There is a big fear of crimes in the mind of people in the city, which arise from inequality, poverty, segregation, and injustice. This study focused on the six urban crimes in Bathinda city such as crime related to alcohol under Excise Act, drugs related crime under NDPS Act, gambling, snatching, house-break, and vehicle theft. The crime pattern of Bathinda city has been explored by using Geo-Spatial techniques for the period 2007-2017. Changing pattern of crimes from year 2007 to 2017 is represented by graph diagrams. Hotspot analysis of these six crimes has been done of year 2007 and 2017

    Urban green space availability in Bathinda City, India
    (Springer International Publishing, 2018) Singh K.K.
    This paper aims to investigate and map the spatial distribution of urban green spaces (UGSs) in Bathinda City, India. Since urban green spaces affect the quality of life and provide various ecological, socio-cultural and economic benefits to a city, the spatial distribution of UGSs and per capita availability deserve greater consideration in urban planning and research. The UGSs are extracted from freely available Sentinel 2 image with spatial resolutions of 10 m (blue, green, red, and near infrared bands). The result indicates that the planned urban setups have higher area under UGSs as compared to the rest of the city. Analysis and intra-city comparison (ward wise) of distribution of green spaces and per capita availability indicate that there is an inequitable distribution of UGSs in Bathinda City. The study also attempts to accentuate the scope of green initiatives in the various wards of the city to ensure the well-being of people.
