Contribution of banaras school in Geography | Contribution of R.L. singh, Kashi nath singh, rana p.b singh
Introduction
In India the genetic approach has been initiated by Prof. R.L. Singh , known as the founder of Banaras School of Settlement Geography.
He developed his fundamental concept to “analyse the sequence of change in the cultural landscape” during the initial stage of the Middle Ganga Valley.
Origin
The study of rural settlement has its roots in German History.
The geographical study of rural settlements has been started by French Geographer Albert Demangeon (1872 -1940).
Raised the issue of establishing a separate Commission for Rural Settlement Geography in the International Geographical Union general meeting in 1932.
He had developed the concept of spatial organisation in context to the morphological structure.
Morphology Denotes the summation of the site, function, size & origin of settlement.
In Indian Geography first time in 1955 Prof. R.L.Singh wrote a lengthy paper, “EVOLUTION OF SETTLEMENTS IN THE GANGA VALLEY”, which emphasised the historical approach in the context of forms, function, interrelationships, centre-periphery land uses, rural- urban linkages called RURBAN or PRE-URBAN.
