Authors: Deshmukh RSM

ABSTRACT
The population density basically represents the ratio of land and population and so, the geographical factors mostly influence to the density of population. Population density is a best tool to measure the degree of population concentration. Population density determine the nature of population distribution. In the case of Karad tehsil, population density is not equally distributed over the tehsil. Mostly geographical and socio-economic factors are affecting on this unequal population density. Generally the high population density is found in Karad city and its surrounding villages because most of younger population comes toward the city region surrounding rural area for higher education and employment. Population density of Karad tehsil is rapidly increasing around to Karad city and along to the national highway No. 4 then the very low population density shows to north, north eastern and southern site of the tehsil and it is constant from the year 1991 to 2011. Very high population density found at central area of the tehsil because this places located on the fertile plain of Krishna and Koyana River as well as national highway No. 4 goes through this region and so agriculture and agricultural supplementary business rapidly developed here. The peoples mostly in younger age group migrate in this region for higher education and employment. Keywords: Censes, Socio-Economic Reports, Density, Arc GIS, Interpolation, Variation
