rural areas meet as well as interact. Empirically, peri urban areas are
lying between urban and rural zone. Identification of peri-urban areas

criteria belongs to three sets of indices or determinants namely
demographic, Occupational Structure and Infrastructure have been
selected for delimitation process. The study finds that the linear
