This study aims to analyse the processes and patterns of peri-urbanization using diurnal earth observation data-sets from onboard DMSP-Operational Linescan System. In this study, multiple correlation, simple and conditional linear regression are used to find out the degree of relationship and spatial behavioural pattern of the factors responsible for the urbanization. All the factors are standardized using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) coupled fuzzy membership functions. AHP is used to derive the weighting of the factors to produce the urbanity index. In total three functional zones - urban, rural and urban shadow are generated based on factor standardization and spatial contiguity index. Urban fringe is sharing60% of Urbanity Index followed by rural fringe (39.50-60% of urbanity index) and urban shadow<39.50% of urbanity index. Shape index indicates that the city is going through unplanned development following cross to star shape growth.
