These studies suggest that GIS-based methods and various indices effectively measure urban compactness, aiding in sustainable development, urban planning, and understanding urban expansion patterns.
Urban compactness is a critical concept in urban planning, aimed at creating sustainable, efficient, and livable cities. It involves the densification and mixed-use development of urban areas to mitigate issues such as pollution, land depletion, and the demands of growing populations. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play a pivotal role in measuring and analyzing urban compactness, providing valuable insights for city planners and policymakers.

Urban compactness is a multifaceted concept that can be effectively measured and analyzed using GIS and various indices. Key methods include spatial indices for 3D growth, GIS combined with Bayesian rule, and the Functional Compactness Index. These tools help in identifying compact urban areas, understanding urban expansion patterns, and informing sustainable urban planning and policy-making. The integration of multiple geospatial data sources and advanced analytical techniques provides a comprehensive approach to evaluating and enhancing urban compactness.
