The Impact

Human modification of the natural environment continues to create habitats in which vectors of a wide variety of human and animal pathogens (such as Plasmodium, Aedes aegypti, Arenavirus etc.) thrive if unabated with an enormous potential to negatively affect public health. Typical examples of these modifications include impoundments, dams, irrigation systems, landfills and so on that provide enabled environment for the transmission of Hemorrhagic fever such as malaria, dengue, avian flu, Lassa fever etc. Furthermore, contemporary urban dwelling pattern appears to be associated with the prevalence of Hemorrhagic diseases in recent years. These observations are not peculiar to the developing world, as urban expansion also contributes significantly to mosquito and other vectors habitats. This habitats offer breeding ground to some vector virus populations. The key to disease control is developing an understanding of the contribution of human landscape modification to vector-borne pathogen transmission and how a balance may be achieved between human development, public health, and responsible urban land use. A comprehensive review of urban land use Pattern Analysis for Hemorrhagic fever risk has been conducted in this paper. The study found that most of the available literatures dwell more on the impact of urban land use on malaria and dengue fevers; however, studies are yet to be found discussing the implications of urban land use on the risk of Ebola, Lassa and other non-mosquito borne VHFs. A relational model for investigating the influence of urban land use change pattern on the risk of Hemorrhagic fever has been proposed in this study.

Modern urbanization process characterizes different land use pattern than that of classical urban land use theories. However, the general scenario of land use pattern still related to classical theories. Thus, this paper aims to assess the application of classical land use model and land economic theory in Butwal urban area of western Nepal based on field study information collected from 50 randomly selected plots of the Butwal urban area. Thematic maps of various urban land features were prepared, and regression analyses have been used. Geographic Information System (GIS), excel and Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) software were used for data analysis. The findings of this study indicate that classical model has important role to study medium size urban land use. Simultaneously, land economic theory is also equally applicable with considering the physical and social factors of land use for urban area.
