This includes studies that have concentrated on some of the most significant problems that could distort an ideal rural-urban balance. The first section deals with the clarification of the term the evolution of urbanfringe. The second concerns
with rural-urban effect in the present day contest. The third section deals with the delineation of Umland in India and provides an insight into the concept of Umland and city-umland relations. - (PLK)

In this paper, the AA. describe the extraction of urban thermal fringes using remote sensing data and Focal Statistical Analysis method. They use Landsat TM/ETM+ thermal images to identify the thermal fringes spatial distribution patterns between
1987 and 2001 in Tsukuba city. They analyze the changing patterns for these 14 years (thermal properties of surface materials and lack of evapotranspiration). According to this study, urban heat island (UHI) effect was reducing between 1987 and 2001
