Abstract: Urban sprawl refers to dispersed group of houses at the city’s outskirt where residential land-use is dominant. In sprawl areas, essential services like milk parlor, vegetable and grocery shops etc. required to lead daily-life are not within walkable reach. This will cause frequent travel using own vehicles leading to traffic congestion, traffic delays, energy wastage, global warming, climate change etc. Thus, sprawl poses serious threats to sustainable urbanisation. The study aims to investigate the intensity and magnitude of the extent of own vehicles use in the emerging Mysore urban agglomerate. The questionnaire survey method has been adopted wherein a structured questionnaire was served to randomly selected dwellers of residential layouts at the outskirts of Mysore city to obtain answers. The study reveals that there is extreme dependency on own vehicles and very less on public vehicles for their daily commute, location of daily essential services beyond walkable reach, more number of trips, travelling more distance, spending of more money and time on daily commuting and this is causing traffic congestion and delays in the Mysore city. Understand the intensity and magnitude of the issue will help to develop a strategy to counter and mitigate its possible threats to sustainable urbanisation in the Mysore urban agglomerate.
