Abstract - The world is currently dealing with peri-
significant effects of fast urbanization on the periphery of India's smart cities, a thorough investigation into the dynamics of peri urbanization in emerging nations like India is necessary. This is especially true given that most Indian metropolitan cities are experiencing the dynamic effects of peri urbanization, and that suitable strategies must be developed to integrate these periurban areas into the process of city growth and development in order to make the cities habitable, sustainable, and productive.
urbanism, a novel phenomenon. With the goal of obtaining free open areas for habitation, growth, and the establishment of new communities, there has been a progressive migration of the urban population from the more developed regions to the less developed ones as a result of population growth and urban infrastructure improvements. Periurban spaces have emerged as a result of the large-scale urban population mobility. The periphery of metropolitan centers that warrant exploration are the periurban zones, as they lack a clear demarcation line. In order to manage the detrimental impacts that urban sprawling poses to the periurban areas, a thorough understanding of the processes of urbanization is required. Urban sprawl is forming around the main urban centers in Ashoknagar city. To investigate the necessity of developing policies, a thorough analysis of the social, economic, and demographic makeup of the residents living on Ashoknagar periphery has been conducted. The paper's analytical strategy is predicated on an examination of the region's development and infrastructural challenges through the application of GIS mapping. The study's final conclusions address the concerns, challenges, and suggestions that are relevant to a planned and regulated development in Ashoknagar periurban areas.
It is observed that peri urban areas are generally enriched with significant ecological, bio-diversity, landform, natural character, landscape and cultural/natural heritage values that are required to be rationally studied and planned with sensitivity (Simon, 2008). Evidences suggest that, appropriate measures need to be evolved to make them an integral part of the city growth and developmental process. From the above literature, it is clear that unplanned growth in urban areas has resulted in urban sprawl and this has led to shifting of population away from urban nodal areas to the less infrastructured and less developed peri urban areas. The comprehension of periurban dynamics through changes in land use and research into the causes of the unplanned, uncontrolled development in the city's periphery. The paper's conclusions are expected to aid in the formulation of policies pertaining to urban development as well as a thorough framework for planning and development. Furthermore, the paper's recommendations will aid in the advancement of future study on the planned development of periurban land and its sustainable use at three levels: city, municipality or panchayat, and beneficiary.

1.INTRODUCTION Due to the expansion of urban activity, peri-urban areas— the boundary between urban and rural regions—are currently undergoing significant changes. How these areas turn into contested zones is revealed by the quick expansion of the newly developed environment and the apparent shift of the socioeconomic structure. It is acknowledged that outskirts offer substantial advantages for accommodating the agglomeration for effective urban systems. As a result, the inflow of immigrants is changing neighborhood life, traditional culture, economic structures, and patterns of land usage. These difficulties are addressed in this research. This study is focused on peri urban growth, urbanization, and the advancement of urbanism on a theoretical level by concentrating on the instance of Ashoknagar (M.P.), one of small towns rapidly expanding urban areas. Peri urbanism has been the result of limited options of development within the existing urban boundaries which is the outcome of limited development possibilities within the current urban limits. In order to address the unplanned, unsystematic, and

2. STUDY AREA & CITY PROFILE 2.1.
Geographical setting
The study is concerned with the Ashoknagar Urban Development Area. Ashoknagar covers an area of about 4,673.94 sq km & situated in the northeastern portion of the Madhya Pradesh. Geographically, the district is situated between the latitude 24.34 N and longitude 77.43 E. and falling in Survey of India toposheet nos 54 G, H & L. It is bounded in the North by Shivpuri district and east by Uttar Pradesh, in the south by the Rajgarh & in the west by the Guna district (Census of India, 2011). In the figure 1, the boundaries of Ashoknagar district are defined by two of the rivers, Sindh and the Betwa.
