ABSTRACT

Present research paper is made to determine and analyses the spatial patterns of population density and distribution in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra during the period between 2001-2011. Present study is mainly based on secondary sources of data which is collected form Primary Census Abstract of Ahmednagar District, 2011. Population distribution refers to the actual pattern of spacing of units of individuals. Distribution of population mainly depends upon the physical and human factors, viz. physiography, climate, rainfall, soil, drainage pattern, economic resources, stage of economic growth etc. It is observed that the highest population concentration was found in central part, high to moderate in the northern part and relatively low was found in southern part of district. It is clear from the study that there is found close relationship between relief feature, climate, rainfall, soil, availability of water, transportation network, urbanization, industrialization and distribution of population. There are fourteen tahsils in the Ahmednagar district. In these tahsils, the population aspects are not uniform and the reasons for this have been sought. A brief study of the population density and distribution has been conducted by tahsil-wise. Keywords:- Population Density and Distribution, Spatial Patterns, literacy, Growth rate, Economic Activities.
