Distribution of Population
Distribution of population refers to the living of the people on the basis of physical feature, geographical zones and administrative divisions in the country. From the statistics of distribution of population, the government can make effective plans and programmes according to the situation of a given place or region. The other organizations and individuals also can set up the programmes and plans according to the region and position of the place. Thus, the study of population distribution helps the government and organizations to provide facilities for the people concerned.
There is no even distribution of population in all areas of Nepal. There are certain reasons for it. The physical features, climate, soil and natural resources are all different in different parts of the country which cause an uneven distribution of population. Some areas are densely populated, as there are facilities of employment, education, health, transport and communication. But the other areas lacking such facilities are sparsely populated. We can, here, cite the example of northern mountainous part of Nepal. Here life is too hard for the people, climate is too cold and the land is less fertile and mostly unproductive. Facilities like transport and communication, industries and education are still scarce in these areas. As a result, fewer people live in such places. But if we look at the hilly region of Nepal, the distribution of population is a bit different. Here, the climate is healthier, land is fertile and productive. So, this zone is more densely populated than the mountainous zone. The plain area of the Terai is the most fertile land in Nepal. Almost all facilities, mentioned above, are available here, so, the population pressure is high in Terai. Thus, the three zones of Nepal are quite different from economical and geographical points of view. They have different characteristics that lead to an uneven distribution of population.
