商品描述

Urbanisation has been one of the significant drivers of socio-economic and environmental change in the Trans-Himalaya. Recently, the remote and less accessible areas of Ladakh have undergone rapid urbanisation due to road construction, mountain tourism, geopolitical factors, administrative changes, and external interventions. These driving factors are responsible for the drastic transformation and development in Ladakh's newly formed Union Territory (UT). The region has experienced rapid urban growth and unplanned urbanisation, particularly in the capital towns of Leh and Kargil. After Leh, the capital, Kargil town is the second-largest urban centre in the region. The town has witnessed significant changes in its urban landscape, driven by historical developments, urban population growth, rural-to-urban migration, spatial expansion, and the growing tourism sector. These factors have collectively contributed to the emergence, growth, and transformation of this mountain town in Ladakh. Based on a multi-temporal approach using high-resolution satellite images combined with a mixed methods approach and field surveys, urbanisation and its landscape dynamics have been analysed since the 1960s

商品描述(中文翻譯)

城市化一直是跨喜馬拉雅地區社會經濟和環境變化的重要驅動因素。最近，由於道路建設、山地旅遊、地緣政治因素、行政變革和外部干預，拉達克偏遠且不易接近的地區經歷了快速的城市化。這些驅動因素導致拉達克新成立的聯邦直轄區（Union Territory, UT）發生了劇變和發展。該地區的城市增長迅速，城市化無計劃，特別是在首府列城（Leh）和卡爾吉爾（Kargil）這兩個城市。卡爾吉爾是該地區第二大城市，僅次於首府列城。該鎮的城市景觀經歷了顯著變化，這些變化受到歷史發展、城市人口增長、農村向城市的遷移、空間擴張以及不斷增長的旅遊業的驅動。這些因素共同促成了這個拉達克山城的出現、增長和轉型。基於多時期的方法，利用高解析度衛星影像結合混合方法和實地調查，自1960年代以來對城市化及其景觀動態進行了分析。
