A Regression Analysis of Population Packing in the Municipal Corporations of West Bengal with Special Reference to Durgapur Municipal Corporation
Abstract: The present study is an attempt to analyse the concentration of population in urban areas. Regression - power regression has been applied to indicate the nature of concentration (packing) as well as over concentration(spilling) of population in urban areas. The Municipal Corporations of West Bengal have been selected for study with a special focus on Durgapur Municipal Corporation. Power regression can be expressed in the form of y=axb. In order to express packing and spilling of population, two variables have been considered here, the independent variable 'area' and the dependent variable "population" of the urban areas. Further system component growth analysis in terms of population growth has been done.
