Analysis of Urban Population Growth Pattern for Chennai – Zone IX, TEYNAMPET

Abstract

Graph-cellular automata (GCA) is implemented for zone IX of Chennai city. The population, population density, educational institution, industries, etc were taken as attribute. It is shown that GCA with particular structural properties defined in terms of the relationships between subsets of cells is a useful generalization of traditional cellular automaton (CA). The population data from Chennai census 1981, 1991, and 2001 were used to develop the GCA and the results are enumerated. The obtained results are compared with census data 2011.
