1 TOPIC No - 5 DENSITY OF POPULATION IN SINDHUDURG DISTRICT Geographers by way of manipulation the numerator have devised various types of densities having a varying degree of utility in different situations. The objective of course has been to arrive at a better understanding of the population resource relationship density of population helps us in understanding nature of distribution of population. It plays an important part in any scheme related to health trade and socio-economic development.

2 Fig. NO. 5.1 SINDHUDURG DISTRICT DISTRIBUTION OF VILLAGES BY DENSITY 1991 According to 1991 census there are 736 in the study region. The density pattern in rural area is not uniform throughout the study region. It varies from place to place, () Somewhere, it is more than 600 persons per sq. kms and some where it is below 50 persons per sq. kms. According to variation of rural population density, the study region is categorized into different population density grades like Below-50, , , , , and Above 600. The categorization is based on district average rural population density. In the year 1991 from the above statement, it is observed that the density of population is more than 600 per sq. kms covered 49 out of 736 and density of population Below 50 per sq. kms covered 37,

This category has below 50 persons per sq.km. Density of population. This region has 53 (69.03%) of Malvan 02 (1.5%), Sawantwadi 11 (12.9%), Dodamarg 18 (32.1%), kudal 11 (8.9%), vaibhavvadi 06 (10.2%), Kudal 11 (8.9%), vaibhavvadi 06 (10.2%), Kankavali 04 (3.9%). 2) Relatively low population density area. ( persons per sq. km.) The region under study has 743 falling in this category This category ranges from persons per sq.km. This region has 301 of Malvan 66 (48.9%), Vengurla 11 (13.3%), Sawantwadi 25 (29.4%), Dodamarg 24 (42.9%), Devgad 52 (53.61%), Kudal 32 (26.6%), Vaibhavvadi 41 (69.4%), Kankavli 50 (48.1%)

22 3) Relatively Moderate Density area (151 to 450 persons per sq.km) The region under study has 305 falling in this category. This category ranges from 151 to 450 persons per sq.km. This region has 53 (39.3%) of Malvan taluka 48 (39.3%) Vengurla taluka 48 (57.6%) Sawantwadi taluka 40 (47.1%), Doamarg taluka 12 (21.4%), Devgad taluka 40 (41.24%), Kudal taluka 65 (50.7%) of Vaibhavvadi taluka 10 (17.00%), Kankavli taluka (35.5%) in this category. 4) Relatively High density area (451 to 600 persons per sq. km.) The region under study has 27 in this category. This area has 03 Malvan taluka (2.2%) 05 (6.0%), Vengurla taluka 05 (5.9%), Sawantwadi taluka 01 village (1.8%), Dodamarg taluka 01 village (1.03%), Devgad taluka 09 (7.3%), Kudal taluka 01 village (1.7%), Vaibhavvadi taluka and 02 (1.9%), Kankavli taluka. 5) Relatively very high population density area. (Above 600 persons per sq. km.) The region under study has 57 fall in this category. This category shows the population density above 600 persons per sq.km. This region has 11 (8.1%), Malvan tahasil 19 (22.9%), Vengurla tahasil 04 (4.7%) Sawantwadi tahasil 01 village (1.8%), Dodamarg tahasil 03 (3.09%), Devgad tahasil 07 (5.6%), Kudal tahasil 01 village (1.7%), Vaibhavvadi tahasil and 11 (10.6%), Kankavli tahasil. The following factors are responsible for the very high density of population Good transportation facility is one of the factors that influences the population density. Due to road and railway communication there is a socioeconomic change. National Highway No. 17 runs through this region

23 Urbanization is an important factor influencing the population density. Greater road and rail linkage is an important factor responsible for greater population density like Tarale, Kankavli, Kudal, Sawantwadi these have good road and rail linkages. Conclusion :- Chapter No. 5 deals with special distribution of population during 1991 at taluka level and village level. To determine the population concern traction throughout the study region, we have taken into consideration the percentage of area and the percentage of population at taluka level and determined the positive and negative concentration of population at taluka lavel. The positive concentration of population shows the low percent area and high percentage population shows the high percent area and low percent population. It show that Vengurla, Kankavli, Malvan and Sawantwadi talukas have high percent population and Vaibhavvadi, Dodamarg tahasil have low density of population to the total district one important induction emerges from the analysis. It is seen that due to the co-operative and other industries growth center of population have emerged. Spatial density of population on the basis of village level, data has there for been attempted further to ascertain the impact of geographical factors i.e. soil, topography, and rain fall on the basis of the details or the ascription of these factors further analysis is done. First striking feature that comes on the forefront is about is about disparity between urban and rural population density of this region. As said earlier the urban density is found in locational concentrations to different parts of the study region. However the rural density of population proves as a true indicator providing a good carrolary for the analysis. The higher density of population is in Kankavli taluka, Malvan taluka, Kudal taluka. Kankavli taluka is located on Mumbai-Goa National Highway. Western part of the study region Vaibhavvadi tahasil, Kankavli tahasil, Malvan tahasil, Kudal tahasil and Sawantwadi tahasil have high density of population. In western part of district, there is very low density population as it is covered by hills
