Abstract

The present paper is an attempt to understand the distribution, concentration and growth of rural population in Hisar district of Haryana state. The study is based on census data of 1971 & 2011 at village level. The hard copy of administrative map of Hisar District is procured from District Census Handbook of Hisar District-1991 and then, scanned at 300 dpi and georeferenced (QGIS โ€“ open-source software) using appropriate projection parameters i.e., Projection- Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Datum- WGS-1984 and Zone- 43N for database generation. The village boundaries of the villages are digitized and accordingly attributes are attached. Population concentration calculated using location quotient formula and growth rate of population are mapped with choropleth technique.
