Unregulated expansion in Rangpur City Corporation is underway, and leading to unauthorized growth. The nature of land use changes revealed that the built-up and bare soil/landfill categories have been increased signif- icantly (Figure 3). Figure 4 can be used to discern the incredible pressure of urbanization on natural land use in Rangpur City Corporation. Table 3 demonstrates that between 1989 and 2014, urban built-up areas increased approximately 6502 ha with a decrease of around 2235 ha in un cultivated bare soil/landfill while planted forest is decreased 406 ha, Seasonal water sources and Permanent water sources decreased 2235 ha and 1626 ha re- spectively. This result affirms the earlier findings made by different researchers using supervised classification by ArcGIS [12]. To accommodate the increasing population, the city has been expanded extensively compared to its early stage and concurrently its spatial expansion has been severely constrained by the physical factors. Therefore most of the development has been resulted in the loss of natural resources.
