Abstract

Rapid population increment of big towns, creation of numerous small-towns, increasing demand for better urban-related facilities from the big towns and availability of better transport facilities always accelerate the process of urban-to-urban interaction. It will be interesting to understand in which pattern and extent the inter-urban interaction is taking place over a backward region like Purulia district, West Bengal. So, to understand the impact of urban-to-urban interaction on the process of urban development, the present study was executed to analyse the urban-to-urban interaction of the towns of four groups for the betterment of the big as well as small-towns in near future. Purulia district has now twenty-eight towns and these towns are grouped based on the distance between each other like the north-eastern town group, central town group, southern town group and western town group for a clear understanding of the pattern of interaction between them. The Synthesised Gravity Model has been applied to identify the pattern and intensity of interaction between the towns in the prescribed town groups which is a modern version of traditional gravity model. To quantify a town’s influential factor on another town over the same region, the study used to identify a set of socio-economic variables and the data were collected based on a questionnaire method against these variables. The result of the study shows that in each of the selected town groups the interaction has occurred from small-town to the big town oriented. The study also revealed that the interaction between the towns has a massive impact on the process of urban development for the small and big towns. The suggested planning recommendations based on the study will be very helpful for planners for sustainable urban planning of the statutory as well as census towns in future.
