Volume : I, Issue : IX, October - 2011 A GEOGRAPHICAL COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SERVICE AREAS OF CATTLE MARKET CENTRES IN SOLAPUR DISTRICT, MAHARASHTRA P. P. Ubale,T. N. Lokhande,A.V.Pore,S.D.Shinde Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Keeping in view the importance of cattle market centres in socio –
economic development of a region, the main objective of the present investigation
is to make an enquiry into service area of cattle market centres in Solapur district
of Maharashtra. The measurement of service areas of cattle market centres are
important for understanding marketing data, market centres performance and such
kind of studies help to find out the served areas as well as poorly, moderately and
highly served area in the study region. Geographers have adopted several
techniques to delimit market area of cattle market centres. Prakash Rao’s modified
method, Reilly’s modified breaking point method and empirical methods are
applied for the analysis of service areas. These techniques are primarily based on
field survey for which schedule and questionnaire techniques are employed. It is
also supplemented by the secondary data. Results derived are shown
cartographically. The spatial impact of the market centres on the surrounding area
is also important discussed by various geographers. While planning for the
rational allocation of marketing facilities in the region, the results derived from
present analysis need be given a top priority. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : P. P. Ubale,T. N. Lokhande,A.V.Pore,S.D.Shinde, (2011).
