| Abstract: | Walter Christaller's Central Place Theory (CPT) explains the size, hierarchy, and spatial distribution of settlements as central locations that supply goods and services to neighbouring rural areas. Market establishment is guided by concepts like market range and threshold. Rural markets' functional hierarchy and spatial organisation are essential to regional development. In order to comprehend the distribution, hierarchy, and service areas of rural markets in Mandya District, Karnataka, this study applies Central Place Theory (CPT) and analyses the driving forces behind their creation and growth. The study identifies various levels of rural markets and their hinterlands using CPT concepts like threshold population, range of goods and services, market hierarchy, and nodal influence. The research is based on secondary data, field observations, and spatial analysis, supported by maps and GIS-based techniques. The results show that although local factors like agricultural productivity, irrigation from the Cauvery river system, transportation accessibility, population density, and historical trade practices greatly influence market location and growth, the spatial pattern of rural markets in Mandya generally conforms to the theoretical assumptions of Central Place Theory. Market development has been greatly influenced by motivational factors such as marketable surplus, proximity to agricultural hinterlands, connectivity to higher-order urban centres, and socioeconomic needs of rural communities. The study identifies physical, cultural, and financial limitations that cause departures from the optimal CPT model. Overall, the study shows that although Central Place Theory offers a helpful framework for examining rural market systems, its application needs to be contextualised to local circumstances in order to support efficient rural planning and balanced regional development in Mandya District. |
