Abstract
ABSTRACT Regional distribution of rural population in East Rajasthan, India, shows considerable inequality in a region of diverse types of geographical environment. A correlation of the various indices of physical and cultural landscape factors with the rural, physiologic, and agricultural densities in the different subregions of the area under study reveals that agriculture shows mature adjustments to landforms and water resources, and rural population distribution follows food production possibilities. Human habitations form an index of the distribution of population. Between two extreme types of grouping of rural settlements, the isolated farmstead and the nucleated village, there are numerous gradations which depend upon the interplay of physical and non-physical factors. An analysis of the trends of food production and population increase in this area indicates that the already densely populated areas have a greater potential for population increase than the sparsely settled areas.
