Dear Raphael,
Apropos MODIS' urban ranking, can you please clarify the following? A
higher rank (say 3 over 9) suggests greater urbanisation, right? Or is it
the other way around? 9 suggests greater urbanisation as compared to 3?
Thanks,
Srini

Dear Srini,
actually I don't know exactly, don't use the indicator myself - you will
have to read the papers by Schneider et al to figure out. Referenced

Hi,
Does anyone have a list of urban constituencies - defined here as those
with over 75% urban population?
Thanks and regards

Hi Ravi,
there are various options here, depending on what you want.
I am not aware of an official list of rural/urban constituencies as
such. But booths are classified as either urban or rural, at least on
the electoral rolls, and probably elsewhere, too. This could be used in
a simple counting
Is this 2001 census, by the way? Is it valid to juxtapose to 2014
constituencies?
Thanks!

Hi Ravi,
I did the matching against MODIS data, but don't have electorate count
at hand, so no percentages of urban
Hi Raphael,
Thanks for this. One tiny mistake in the cdv file: Ton Sawai Madhopur is
one constituency, not two, it would seem. You have two values for it (10
for Tonk Sawai, and 26 for Madhopur). Would you by any chance have the
number for the united constituency?
Thanks!

Hi Gilles,
nice to see you over here ;-)
This is not based on Census at all, bot on 2002/3 images of the MODIS
satellite, processed by NASA to classify land cover as habitated or not,
rural or urban (funnily enough, part of the criteria is light at night
- they must have come up with something
