Abstract

The methodology of the study includes the preparation of Aizawl city base map and delineation of boundaries of local councils and municipal wards, determination of sample size, operation of sampling procedure for collection of data, and analysis of tabulated data with the help of statistical techniques and graphical methods. The outputs of the analyses were mapped with the help of choropleth mapping techniques wherever appropriate.
