Rural Development through Central Places in Siwan

Analyzing the Relationship between Population Distribution and Soil Fertility for Rural Development in Siwan

Abstract

Social background which includes distribution and density of population, growth of population, literacy, evolution of settlements and distribution and density of settlements. The district of Siwan comes under one of the densest parts of Bihar where distributional pattern of population at micro level is not uniform. The distribution of population is closely attached with the nature and fertility of soils. It is important of their compositional differences. The eastern, northern and middle parts of the district have better soil fertility and, therefore, population concentration is higher in these areas, while southern and western parts are affected with diara lands where soil fertility is lower due to sandy soils.
