Mrs. Jaya Pandey

Abstract :

The physical expansion of cities has given rise to the formation of fringe which is a highly transitional zone between rural and urban land uses. Rapidly growing metropolitan cities expands itself into the countryside leading to the changes in land use patterns. Thus, urban fringes express certain typical characters such as increase in commuting population and conversion from agriculture to non agricultural land uses. Growth of metropolitan cities has ought about important changes in rural– urban interactions. Urban employment and commercialization of agriculture are leading to occupational mobility in fringe areas. As some aspects of social life are interrelated, occupational mobility in fringe has affected traditional service relations and status system in rural society. Traditional status system was based on ownership of land but the new criterion of differentiation is based on income, occupation and education. The present paper would intend to explore the trends of occupational change in an urban fringe of Lucknow city.
