Method of Delineation of

Planning Region
 Method of Delineation of Planning
Region
• Cartographic Method
• Weighted Index Method
• Survey Method
• Nodal Method
• Flow and gravitational analysis
• Ranking coefficient method analysis
• Simple correlation Methods
 Cartographic Method
• A large number of Map prepared
• Superimposition of the Maps
• Revelation of Common characteristics
– Two Questions Arises
1. What should be the Unit of Map preparation
2. What types of Map needed/prepared
 Unit of Cartographic Map
• General principle of Cartography
– Smaller the unit More realistic are the findings
– Most suitable unit for India: Assessment circle: soil
quality, soil productivity (data not available)
– Tehsil/Taluka as viable basic unit of map
preparation
 Types of Maps
• Patter Geddes has delimited the work of
geographers as;
– Place, folk, work
Work (economic
Place Folk (people) activity)
• Physiographic • Distribution of popl • Productivity
• Climate • Density • Man power
• Soil • Growth • Income
• Age-sex distribution
• Vegetation composition
• Resource • Consumption
• Education
endowments pattern
• Occupational
• Land Capability Structure • Human resource
• Urbanization development
• Population-
Resource Regions
 Besides these Maps
A large number of other maps are also required
to get an ideal planning region, which
includes
A. Problems oriented maps
B. Problems Finder Maps
C. Regional Mobility Maps – Pattern and
intensity
D. Transportation and communication Maps
E. Flow Maps: Migration pattern
