Question 2:- Define Urban Area and classify them as per Census.
Answer: - Urban areas: According to the census of India Village or Town is recognized as
the basic area of habitation. In all censuses throughout the world this dichotomy of Rural and
Urban areas is recognized and the data are generally presented for the rural and urban areas
separately. In the rural areas the smallest area of habitation, viz., and the village generally
follows the limits of a revenue village that is recognized by the normal district administration.
The revenue village need not necessarily be a single agglomeration of the habitations. But the
revenue village has a definite surveyed boundary and each village is a separate administrative
unit with separate village accounts. It may have one or more hamlets. The entire revenue village
is one unit. There may be surveyed villages within forests etc., where the locally recognized
boundaries of each habitation area is followed within the larger unit of say the forest range
officers jurisdiction.
It is in defining the Urban areas that problems generally arise. However for the 1971 Census
the definition adopted for an urban area which follows the pattern of 1961 was as follows:-
(a) All places with a Municipality, Corporation, Cantonment, or Notified Town Area
(b) All other places, which satisfied the following criteria:
(i) A minimum population of 5,000.
(ii) At least 75% of the male working population was non-agricultural.
(iii) A density of population of at least 400 sq. Km. (i.e. 1000 per sq. Mile)
The Director of Census of each State/Union Territory was, however, given some discretion in
respect of some marginal cases, in consultation with the State Govt., to include some places
that had other distinct urban characteristics and to exclude undeserving cases. Standard Urban
areas a new concept that had been developed for the 1971 Census for the tabulation of certain
urban data was the Standard Urban Area. The essential of a Standard Urban Area are : (i) it
should have a core town of a minimum population size of 50,000, (ii) the contiguous areas
made up of other urban as well as rural administrative units should have close usual socio-
economic links with the core town and (iii) the probabilities are that this entire area will get
fully urbanised in a period of two to three decades. The idea is that it should be possible to
provide comparable data for a definite area of urbanisation continuously for three decades,
which would give a meaningful picture. This replaced the concepts of Town Group that was in
vogue at the 1961 Census. The town group was made up of independent urban units not
necessarily contiguous to one another but were to some extent inter-dependent. The data for
such town groups became incomparable from census to census as the boundaries of the towns
themselves changed and the intermediate areas were left out of account; this concept came for
criticism at one of the symposium of the International Geographic Union in Nov.-Dec.1968
and the concept of Standard Urban Area came to be developed for adoption at the 1971 Census.
If data for this Standard Area were to be made available in the next two or three successive
censuses it is likely to yield much more meaningful picture to study urbanisation around large
urban nuclei.
Answer 3:- The data for the 4 categories has been downloaded from the Google from the pdfs
which are also attached in this zip file (for reference) and the excel sheet containing the whole
data is also attached to this file (In the sheet named as Whole data of the 4 categories). I had
just sorted the data from the Pdfs and then had clubbed the whole data in this sheet named as
Whole data of the 4 categories so we can directly check the data of these 4 categories.
After this I had created another excel file (named as Percentile calculations of 4 categories) in
which the calculations has been done for calculating the percentile for these 4 categories and
then the sortation of states has been done on the base of the percentile for each category (ALSO
SHOWN ON THE SAME EXCEL SHEET NAMED AS Percentile calculations of 4
categories) and the result of these categories are also mentioned below:

Since now we have got the sorted data for the above category so after that we had calculated
the modal share, trip length distribution and average trip lengths for the each sorted group and
for each category in the excel file named as Calculation of Modal Share, Trip length
Distribution and Average trip lengths. The tables are shown in the EXCEL file only named as
Calculation of Modal Share, Trip length Distribution and Average trip lengths for each case
we have different sheet under this excel file.
After this the Bar chart is shown in the excel file named as the Bar charts. OBSERVATIONS
ON THE BASIS OF THE BAR CHART:
For Population density:
From the Population density and mode share in work trip bar chart we can observe that the
group < 25 prefers the on foot and bus mode more where as the group with 25-50 prefers the
Moped/Scooter/Motor Cycle mode. Also, group 50-75 is preferring the train mode more and
then group >75 are preferring the bicycle mode.
Also in Population density and distribution of work trip length bar chart we can observe that
the group 75 is traveling more than in trip length 31-50 group 50-75 is traveling more and at
last group >25 is traveling more in trip length >50.
For Highway density:
From the Highway density and mode share in work trip bar chart we can observe that the group
< 25 prefers the bus mode more whereas the group with 25-50 prefers the on foot mode. Also
group 50-75 is preferring the Moped/Scooter/Motor Cycle mode more and then group >75 are
preferring the train mode more.
Also in Highway density and distribution of work trip length bar chart we can observe that the
group 25-50 is traveling more in the trip length 0-1, then 50-75 group is traveling more trip
length 2-5, then in trip length 6-10 group 75 is traveling more and at last group 25-50 is
traveling more in trip length >50.
For Urbanization Level:
Form the Urbanization level and mode share in work trip bar chart we can observe that the
group < 25 prefers the on foot and bicycle mode more whereas the group with 25-50 also
prefers the on foot, bicycle, bus and two-wheeler mode. Also group 50-75 is preferring the
Moped/Scooter/Motor Cycle mode, bicycle, bus, foot and train mode more and then group >75
are preferring the bus mode more.
Also in Urbanization level density and distribution of work trip length bar chart we can observe
that the group 75 is traveling more, then for 11-20 trip length again group >75 is traveling more
than in trip length 21- 30 the group 50-75 and >75 is traveling more, than in trip length 31-50
group 50-75 is traveling more and at last group 25-50 is traveling more in trip length >50.
Form the Percentage of population below BPL:
In Indian and mode share in work trips bar chart we can observe that the group < 25 prefers the
bus mode more whereas the group with 25-50 prefers the Moped/Scooter/Motor Cycle mode.
Also group 50-75 is preferring the train mode more and then group >75 are preferring the on
foot mode more.
Also in Percentage of population below BPL in India and distribution of work trip length bar
chart we can observe that the group >75 is traveling more in the trip length 0-1, then group
>75 is again traveling more trip length 2-5, then in trip length 6-10 group <25 is traveling
more, then for 11-20 trip length again group 25-50 is traveling more than in trip length 21-30
the group 25-75 is traveling more than in trip length 31-50 group 50-75 is traveling more and
at last group 25-50 is traveling more in trip length >50
