ABSTRACT
The residential location choice process has been studied for several decades using different
approaches which in general shows that many factors contribute to the choice of a given location as
characteristics of city infrastructure, transportation facilities, housing unit, social and environmental
amenities, access to jobs, services and other economic opportunities. Urban citizens intend to live
surrounding their work locations and city center. Denser localities are found around city centers and
industrial areas. Present study represents locational preference of residence from HIG, HMIG, LMIG
& LIG categories of residents in NZ of Surat City. The assessment of these ward locational
preferences is done by developing the Weighted Sum Model (WSM). Also the impact of work
location factors – specifically work distance analysis upon residential choice is studied and found
that residents with lower income prefer work location while residents with higher income desire over
environment and infrastructure.
Keywords: Factor, North Zone, Residential Location Choice, Surat, WSM Application.
1. BACKGROUND
Urban population chooses to settle in residential zones depending upon zonal attributes and
preferences for each of the attributes. Surat city, which is headquarter of Surat district is situated in
the south Gujarat, along the western coast of India almost at equi-distance between Mumbai and
Ahmedabad. NZ (Katargam Zone) of Surat city has variety of income group residents. North Zone

(NZ, to be referred to hereafter), also known as Katargam Zone, is situated on the Northern side of
Surat city enjoying partial length of both banks of River Tapi. The NZ of the city is oldest one and
nearby to walled city area. The NZwas considered for present study as it is established mainly as
residential and industrial mixed land use.
The residential choice provides key insight into housing demand characteristics in terms of
location quality. Livability and attractiveness of an urban area are often closely interlinked with
housing availability and its price.
2. ABOUT SURAT AND STUDY AREA
City of Surat is one of the oldest (300 B.C) historical trade centers of India. It has most
vibrant present and an equally varied heritage of the past. NZ of Surat is a residential area reporting
decadal growth rate of 69% in last decade. Also, NZ is very nearby to CBD and it is having good
transportation connectivity with other areas. The study area is nearly 34.45 Sq. Km in area housing a
population of 7.04 Lacs which is 15.76% of population in Surat (Census 2011). Zone boundaries
have spread over 11.13% of the city area. The decadal census data of population and area in the
zones of Surat city is shown in Table 1. Important to note here, is the CBD area is within the Central
zone just adjoining to the NZ.

The population growth rates are high, indicating the rapid growth of congestion in the
residential areas. It is clearly observed from Table 2 that as far as the decade growth is concerned for
the NZ, Chhapra Bhatha has a highest growth during decade 1991-2001 where in Singanpor and
Kosad has reported highest growth during 2001-2011 which are 348% and 207% respectively.

The NZ in particular has shown rise in population increase due to immigration of people from
other cities as well as settlement of slum rehabilitation in areas such as Kosad. The area of Katargam
specifically has industrial estate (majorly, cloth manufacturing and allied industry units) area
surrounded by residential areas. In addition, Gotalawadi has many number of SSI units of diamond
and allied industries. Also, in the NZ, new building construction activity has picked up pace with rise
in population and housing demands. Reducing population growth rate in specific wards indicate the
substantial change in the land use i.e. residential to commercial conversion of building use allowing
more people to work in these particular areas. Also, the Surat Municipal Corporation, using funding
aid from diverse sources (as JnNURM) has accelerated construction of infrastructure and facilities in
the NZ wards to cater the needs of newly settling citizens in the area which again thrusts the
settlement process.
Further, below shown Table 3 represents the present growth scenario of the study area in
terms of population density which is consistently showing a rising trend except TPS 1 and TPS 3. It
is observed from the table that the highest population density is identified in Amroli and Katargam
area while the density at Dabholi, Utran and Ved wards are respectively low.

For the maximization cases, the best alternative is one that yields maximum total
performance value. The urban housing location process has been a complex phenomenon of housing
market imperfections and a locator’s personal choice mechanism. For present study, direct method of
weight assignment is adopted which is a simple yet an effective technique. The basis of rank
evaluation of each factor depends on person’s opinion. In order to evaluate direct ratings, descriptive
variables received are converted to numerical variables. Descriptive variables and their values
(factors) are shown in Table 4 below. These variables are scaled between 0 and 10. The preference
score ‘Pi’ can be calculated by formula give below for each factor wherein the factor with highest
‘Pi’ value is considered as a first preference among the groups of factors. Here, ‘Mij’ is the measure
of preference of each group with respect to various factors.

4. DATA COLLECTION & ANALYSIS
There are various types of surveys that are carried out to assess two main components of
residential location choice behavior.
(i) Secondary data search and,
(ii) Field survey
The inventory data of the NZ were obtained from document resources of SMC, SUDA, and
Census of India. The field interviews were carried out by:
• The data collection at home
• The data collection at the destination or office/workplace
Pi = ∑ wj (normal) x Mij (normal)

The study area in present work is NZ of Surat City and it is taken up to understand the
residential location choice behavior. The study analysis is based on survey data collected through
Home Interviews conducted in eleven areas namely:Tunki (ward 38), Singanpor (ward 39), Dabholi
(ward 40), Ved (ward 41), Katargam (ward 42), TPS–3 Katargam Gotalawadi (ward 31), TPS–1
Laldarwaja(ward 29), Chhaparabhatha (ward 70), Kosad (ward 71), Amroli (ward 72) and Utran
(ward 73).
Collected data from the survey (considering the Income groups and same were classified as
LIG, LMIG, HMIG and HIG) focuses on analysis towards choices related to:
• Work place and Travel time
• Housing Attributes
• Locational Ranking Analysis
• Income Based Preference
Demographic profile, Infrastructural facilities and the travel behavior are equally important in
understanding the housing activities in the study areas and are discussed in the following sections. It
is very important to select few necessary factors for the clear cut understanding of choice behavior
for residential locations. In present study, following factors were taken into consideration.
1. Environment Factor
• Pollution
• Gardens
• Open Spaces
2. Infrastructure factor
• Water supply
• Sewerage connection
• Solid waste collection
• Storm water connection
3. Cost
4. Amenities
• Accessibility
• Health facility
• Market facility
• Education facility
5. Work Location
• Transportation Connectivity to Work Place
The rating is given by descriptive variables to each factor and, average rating was given to
different factors for different income groups. For Example, environment factor, there are three sub-
factors and each was given different rates by respondents of different income groups. The average
rating was calculated by taking average rating of these three environmental sub-factors for particular
income group. Similarly, average rating was found out for different factors according to different
income groups; and the income based average rating was obtained. For the WSM, following were the
group weight criteria assigned to each income group.

Table 3 is showing the average preference matrix for the different factors in selecting their residence,
of different income group in TPS-1 Laldarwaja ward. This Preference matrix was further analysed
and converted into Normalised matrix form to find out the preference score of different income
group and factors that are shown in Table 4 below:

Amenities 1.00 0.97 0.99 0.97
Work location 0.69 0.82 0.73 1.00
Further, to calculate preference score from normalized preference table, each normalized
value of factor is multiplied with their respective income group weight and obtained summation of
value becomes the preference score. Similar technique was adopted and applied for all wards to
obtain the preference score. Here, for sample, following Table 5 shows the same for TPS-1
Laldarwaja ward.

In the table above, it is clearly observed that maximum performance score for TPS-1
Laldarwaja ward is found to be 0.98 for the amenities factor, whereas infrastructure factors give
second performance score was found out 0.93 and work locations and cost performance score was
found to be of lower of all factors. This result help in predicting that the citizen in TPS-1 Laldarwaja
prefer over amenities and infrastructure against other aspects for choosing residential location.

Above Table 7 well indicate that choice for a residential location of citizen/ respondents are
under major influence of the work location (for LIG and LMIG) irrespective of other factors
however, citizens belonging to HIG has preference for the environment conditions whereas HMIG
citizens are influenced by the service infrastructure facilities. In general, it can be concluded from the
study that on an average basis, irrespective of income group bifurcations, the preference of citizens
for residential location choice is highly influenced by the “work location”.

International Journal of Advanced Research in Engineering and Technology (IJARET), ISSN 0976 – 6480(Print), ISSN 0976 – 6499(Online) Volume 5, Issue 6, June (2014), pp. 125-135 © IAEME 125 WSM APPLICATION FOR ANALYSIS RESIDENTIAL WORK DISTANCE: A CASE OF NZ OF SURAT Bhasker Vijaykumar Bhatt Assistant Professor, Sarvajanik College of Engineering & Technology, Surat, Gujarat, India Meman Vasim Gulamhusen Student, M. E. Civil (Town & Country Planning, Year II, Semester IV), SCET, Surat, Gujarat, India ABSTRACT The residential location choice process has been studied for several decades using different approaches which in general shows that many factors contribute to the choice of a given location as characteristics of city infrastructure, transportation facilities, housing unit, social and environmental amenities, access to jobs, services and other economic opportunities. Urban citizens intend to live surrounding their work locations and city center. Denser localities are found around city centers and industrial areas. Present study represents locational preference of residence from HIG, HMIG, LMIG & LIG categories of residents in NZ of Surat City. The assessment of these ward locational preferences is done by developing the Weighted Sum Model (WSM). Also the impact of work location factors – specifically work distance analysis upon residential choice is studied and found that residents with lower income prefer work location while residents with higher income desire over environment and infrastructure. Keywords: Factor, North Zone, Residential Location Choice, Surat, WSM Application. 1. BACKGROUND Urban population chooses to settle in residential zones depending upon zonal attributes and preferences for each of the attributes. Surat city, which is headquarter of Surat district is situated in the south Gujarat, along the western coast of India almost at equi-distance between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. NZ (Katargam Zone) of Surat city has variety of income group residents.

The NZ of the city is oldest one and nearby to walled city area. The NZwas considered for present study as it is established mainly as residential and industrial mixed land use. The residential choice provides key insight into housing demand characteristics in terms of location quality. Livability and attractiveness of an urban area are often closely interlinked with housing availability and its price. 2. ABOUT SURAT AND STUDY AREA City of Surat is one of the oldest (300 B.C) historical trade centers of India. It has most vibrant present and an equally varied heritage of the past. NZ of Surat is a residential area reporting decadal growth rate of 69% in last decade. Also, NZ is very nearby to CBD and it is having good transportation connectivity with other areas. The study area is nearly 34.45 Sq. Km in area housing a population of 7.04 Lacs which is 15.76% of population in Surat (Census 2011). Zone boundaries have spread over 11.13% of the city area. The decadal census data of population and area in the zones of Surat city is shown in Table 1. Important to note here, is the CBD area is within the Central zone just adjoining to the NZ. Table1: Zone wise decadal growth of Surat Zone Area Sq. Km. Population (in Lacs) Growth (%) 2001 2011 East 37.53 7.12 11.39 60% West 51.28 2.87 4.25 48% North 34.45 4.16 7.04 69% South East 19.49 3.97 7.46 88% South 61.76 4.08 6.93 70% Central 8.18 4.14 4.09 -1% South West 111.91 2.42 3.47 43% Total 326.52 28.76 44.62 (Source: Surat Municipal Corporation) The population growth rates are high, indicating the rapid growth of congestion in the residential areas. It is clearly observed from Table 2 that as far as the decade growth is concerned for the NZ, Chhapra Bhatha has a highest growth during decade 1991-2001 where in Singanpor and Kosad has reported highest growth during 2001-2011 which are 348% and 207% respectively.

The area of Katargam specifically has industrial estate (majorly, cloth manufacturing and allied industry units) area surrounded by residential areas. In addition, Gotalawadi has many number of SSI units of diamond and allied industries. Also, in the NZ, new building construction activity has picked up pace with rise in population and housing demands. Reducing population growth rate in specific wards indicate the substantial change in the land use i.e. residential to commercial conversion of building use allowing more people to work in these particular areas. Also, the Surat Municipal Corporation, using funding aid from diverse sources (as JnNURM) has accelerated construction of infrastructure and facilities in the NZ wards to cater the needs of newly settling citizens in the area which again thrusts the settlement process. Further, below shown Table 3 represents the present growth scenario of the study area in terms of population density which is consistently showing a rising trend except TPS 1 and TPS 3. It is observed from the table that the highest population density is identified in Amroli and Katargam area while the density at Dabholi, Utran and Ved wards are respectively low.

The urban housing location process has been a complex phenomenon of housing market imperfections and a locator’s personal choice mechanism. For present study, direct method of weight assignment is adopted which is a simple yet an effective technique. The basis of rank evaluation of each factor depends on person’s opinion. In order to evaluate direct ratings, descriptive variables received are converted to numerical variables. Descriptive variables and their values (factors) are shown in Table 4 below. These variables are scaled between 0 and 10. The preference score ‘Pi’ can be calculated by formula give below for each factor wherein the factor with highest ‘Pi’ value is considered as a first preference among the groups of factors. Here, ‘Mij’ is the measure of preference of each group with respect to various factors.

The study analysis is based on survey data collected through Home Interviews conducted in eleven areas namely:Tunki (ward 38), Singanpor (ward 39), Dabholi (ward 40), Ved (ward 41), Katargam (ward 42), TPS–3 Katargam Gotalawadi (ward 31), TPS–1 Laldarwaja(ward 29), Chhaparabhatha (ward 70), Kosad (ward 71), Amroli (ward 72) and Utran (ward 73). Collected data from the survey (considering the Income groups and same were classified as LIG, LMIG, HMIG and HIG) focuses on analysis towards choices related to: • Work place and Travel time • Housing Attributes • Locational Ranking Analysis • Income Based Preference Demographic profile, Infrastructural facilities and the travel behavior are equally important in understanding the housing activities in the study areas and are discussed in the following sections. It is very important to select few necessary factors for the clear cut understanding of choice behavior for residential locations. In present study, following factors were taken into consideration. 1. Environment Factor • Pollution • Gardens • Open Spaces 2. Infrastructure factor • Water supply • Sewerage connection • Solid waste collection • Storm water connection 3. Cost 4. Amenities • Accessibility • Health facility • Market facility • Education facility 5. Work Location • Transportation Connectivity to Work Place The rating is given by descriptive variables to each factor and, average rating was given to different factors for different income groups. For Example, environment factor, there are three sub- factors and each was given different rates by respondents of different income groups. The average rating was calculated by taking average rating of these three environmental sub-factors for particular income group. Similarly, average rating was found out for different factors according to different income groups; and the income based average rating was obtained. For the WSM, following were the group weight criteria assigned to each income group.
