CENSUS OF INDIA 1971 SERIES 18 RAJASTHAN STANDARD URBAN AREAS (Supplement to Part II-A General Population Tables) U. B. MATHUR Dy. Director of Census Operations, Rajasthan PREFACE ONE OF THE CONCEPTS developed at the time of the 1971 Census was that of the Standard Urban Area. Its essentials were that it should have a core town of a minimum population size of 50,000 persons; its contiguous areas made up of other urban as well as rural administrative units should have close mutual socio-economic links with the core town; and, there should be probabilities of the entire area getting fully urbanised in the period of the next two or three decades. The idea behind the development of this· concept was that it is necessary to have a comparative data for such growing areas continuously for at least three decades to enable one to have a really meaningful picture. This thought replaced the 1961 Census concept of the Town-Group which was composed of the independent urban units of the vicinity, not necessarily contiguous to one another but which were to some extent inter-dependent. It was later felt that the population 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 was also stressed at one of the symposia of the International Geographic Union in 1968. It was in this way that the concept of the Standard Urban Area came to be developed for adoption at the 1971 Census. We hope the information presented here will be found useful by social scientists, administrators and planners. We believe that such data for the various standard urban areas for successive Censuses will yield much more interesting information for them to study the urbanisation and development around large urban nuclei.

This was not, (c) Anticipated urban growth as a result of however, considered very useful as the town-groups locational decisions regarding the socio d~d not include contiguous rural areas around the economic infra-structure and servicing facili cIty or town, which are likely to be urbanised in the ties, and, near future. The standard urban area is a new concept developed at the 1971 Census and it implies (d) Existence of persons in_ rural areas engaged territories contiguous to a core city or town which in non-agricultural activities in large measure. are likely to be urbanised in the next twenty years. The utility of this concept lies in the fact that even It is also necessary to note the difference between a standard urban area and an Urban Agglomeration. when statutory limits of existing towns are changed, these areas do not undergo any change and this Whereas a standard urban area presents the picture increases comparability of data obtained at different of the area surrounding the core-city or town, that Censuses. Thus, standard urban areas have fixed is likely to be urbanised during the next two dacades, areas covering all the cities or towns with a popula an urban agglomeration represents an area consis tion of 50,000 and above, and, adjoining areas, ting of contiguous urban areas and such rural areas which may be rural or may be covered by smaller as are so near to being urban that it makes no towns under the intensive influence or likely to be difference. The entire area of an urban agglomera under the intensive influence of the core city or tion is thus already developed and has exclusively town. The standard urban areas usually have some urban composition, while, the standard urban area or all the following characteristics: has both urban and rural composition.
