Main goal of this research is to identify landuse change due to unplanned development. So, Landuse change has identified by spatial analysis (GIS applications) of two period maps (2001 and 2013) which was prepared for DAP(Detailed Area PLan) The responsible factors for unplanned landuse have been identified by Likert scale method and sample has collected by randomly from various stakeholder groups. The consequences and gap between traditional practice, landuse policies and regulations regarding planned urban development and their impact have also been exposed through this research critically.
