GEO-TEMPORAL STUDY OF POPULATION DENSITY: A CASE STUDY OF KARAD TEHSIL FROM THE YEAR 1991 TO 2011 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.
