Abstract :

Urbanization is the cyclic process, through which a nation pass from simple agricultural society to complex industrial society (G .Taylor). The process of urbanization in the study area is very rapid and this is due to overall high population growth rate, large scale rural to urban and urban to urban flow of population. The urban population of the district of Jorhat, Sivsager, Diugarh and Tinsukia has become double in a short span of 40 years (1971-2011). Again in terms of percentage of urban population, the study area shows an increasing trend of urban population since 1991. But there we also found a negative trend of urban population growth between 2001 and 2011, and this can be possibly due to migration of urban population to the larger urban areas.
