Abstract

Previous to the present state of landforms it had support of agrarian function of landscape suddenly turned to habitat, risking its multifunction. For the past three to four decades the growth as a choice of habitation transformed by fragmentation of estate legacy. The changes in land cover remarkably impacted the stakeholder of natives as well the settlers. Here in this study we use the state of suburban Bengaluru North and North West transformations to demonstrate the people’s perception as well the ecological scenario. It tries to realize the patterns of fragmentation of agrarian landscape to multiple ownerships that allows the neglect of possible multifunction of the landscape in general. It wishes to establish the dichotomy of individualization of modern development and claims for sustainable ecosystem functions. Also, the kinds of crises evolving through changing land functions lead to shifts in overall perception of ecology altogether
