“…The pressing need to recognize the peri-urban area in the framework of urban planning presupposes a peri-urban definition; however, there is no universal definition of peri-urban areas. On contrary, studies engaging with the planning and design of the peri-urban employ a variety of criteria and different terminologies when defining the peri-urban areas (Lopez-Goyburu and Garcia-Montero 2018); ambiguity that contributes to the neglect of the peri-urban areas in practice. The multiple different conceptual and geographical definitions respond on one hand, to different 'urban' and 'rural' definitions hold across countries (Singh and Narain 2020); and, on the other hand, to the unique characteristics peri-urban areas have in every context (Geneletti et al 2017;La Rosa et al 2018;Mortoja, Yigitcanlar, and Mayere 2020).…”

“…The characteristics of the studied peri-urban area exposed an urban reality marked by diversity, instability and chaos, where society plays a critical role in local development. Many of the described characteristics, similar to peri-urban contexts of Bolivia (Cielo and Antequera 2012;Ledo Garcia 2012Marston 2014;Vargas 2014) and the Global South (Garcia-Ayllon 2016;Inostroza 2017;Lopez-Goyburu and Garcia-Montero 2018;Singh and Narain 2020;Watson 2009Watson , 2019, are often accused of being neglected in traditional planning.…”

“…Many cities in the Global South (GS) are characterized by peri-urbanization; rapid, informal and extensive urban settlements spreading at the outskirts of the city urban centres, transforming peripheral rural areas into low-income urban settlements (Garcia-Ayllon 2016;Lopez-Goyburu and Garcia-Montero 2018). These peri-urban areas suffer from poor economic, social and environmental conditions (Haller and Borsdorf 2013;Inostroza 2017) and face multiple challenges that are not address by local governments (Garcia-Ayllon 2016;Watson 2009).…”

“…Scholars concerned about peri-urban areas of the GS often argue that traditional urban planning approaches have little, if any, effect in the GS because peri-urbanization is neglected (Geneletti et al 2017;Haller and Borsdorf 2013;Inostroza 2017;La Rosa et al 2018;Madaleno and Gurovich 2004;Mortoja, Yigitcanlar, and Mayere 2020;Simon 2008;Singh and Narain 2020;Watson 2009). Scholars assert that peri-urban areas need to be explicitly recognized in urban planning and management (Lopez-Goyburu and Garcia-Montero 2018) in order to make planning approaches more suitable to GS cities.…”

Peri-urbanization in Sacaba, Bolivia: challenges to the traditional urban planning approach

In Bolivia, as in many cities of the Global South, rapid and unplanned urban growth expanded widely into peri-urban areas with high levels of poverty and vulnerability. However, the public administration do not acknowledge the peri-urban areas in policies and planning. Moreover, the peri-urban complex realities exceeded local planners capacity to cope with them. This paper examines the challenges that peri-urban areas pose to urban planning in Sacaba, Bolivia. The methodology includes questionnaire surveys, interviews and workshops with actors in peri-urban areas. Findings reveal that peri-urban areas appeal to be formally recognized in urban planning at the same time that traditional urban planning need to readjust its approach to fit the reality of the cities in the Global South.

“…To unravel the intermediate characters of these territories-in-between, the URF is often conceptualized and identified as the buffer zone of the urban extent or specific administrative region located at the urban outskirts. The findings have been mounting on how the URF development reshapes the land use change [5,6], landscape composition [7], habitat integrity [8], hydrological cycle [9] and presents multiple land use conflicts, shortage of infrastructure and services, planning and management challenges in the URF [10][11][12][13]. Although these simplistic definitions substantially aid in a better understanding of the complexity along the urban-rural gradient, the multifaceted characteristics of URF themselves have been generally ignored.…”

The territories between urban and rural areas, also called urban–rural fringe, commonly present inherent instability and notable heterogeneity. However, investigating the multifaceted urban–rural fringe phenomenon based on large-scale identification has yet to be undertaken. In this study, we adopted a handy clustering-based method by incorporating multidimensional urbanization indicators to understand how the urban–rural fringe development vary across space and shift over time in the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration, China. The results show that (1) the growth magnitude of urban–rural fringe areas was greater than urban areas, whereas their growth rate was remarkably lower. (2) The landscape dynamics of urban–rural fringe varied markedly between fast-developing and slow-developing cities. Peripheral sprawl, inter-urban bridge, and isolated growth were the representative development patterns of urban–rural fringe in this case. (3) Urban–rural fringe development has predominantly occurred where cultivated land is available, and significant inter-provincial differences and tendency shifts have been found in the land cover change processes therein. Our findings indicate that the urban–rural fringe development should be considered as a stage-dependent and place-specific process. This work extends previous knowledge by unraveling the diversity of urban–rural fringe in a fast urbanizing region, and can provide insights into reorienting the spatial planning and land use management within the urban–rural interface.

The article investigates the Geographical variations in the outreach of information and communication technology (ICT) diffusion and its effects on rural development across 341 Community Development (CD) blocks of West Bengal. The study is based on secondary data. Secondary data has been collected from Districts Statistical Handbook, Primary Census Abstract, District Census Handbook, and Socio‐Economic and Caste Census. The principal component analysis technique has been used for ICT diffusion index calculation. ArcMap 10.1 has been used for Mapmaking to understand the spatial intensity of the ICT index. The study finds that West Bengal falls within the least zone (0.07–0.18) of ICT diffusion in India due to multi‐dimensional socio‐economic factors. Only 35 CD blocks out of 341 are located in the high ICT diffusion zone (0.49–0.79) in West Bengal, which is 6.87 percent area to the total area. The study concluded that the higher the ICT diffusion higher is the rural development in West Bengal. The study recommends that the government invest more money in ICT in rural development.
