ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The District Urbanisation Report, Malappuram district is prepared as part of the State Perspective Plan for
Kerala. In this connection, the level of urbanisation in the district, the functional character and hierarchy of
settlements etc are studied in detail and the probable future urban profile is derived. The future spatial struture
of the district is formulated through integrating hierarchy and activity pattern of settlements in the district and
the connectivity between them. In other words, the function and hierarchy of various settlements and the
required connectivity between settlements within the district is determined through deriving the spatial struture.
It is hoped that the District Urbanisation Report will pave way for the planned development of the district by
rendering the broad frame work for Planning and Development. The methodology for the study has been evolved
through a number of discussions and workshops and the same methodology is adopted for all districts in the
state for compatibility of results for comparison.
We have heavily relied on statistical data from various development departments. Their readiness to
share the data is gratefully acknowledged. Sri. Eapen Varughese, the Chief Town Planner and Sri. G. Mohanan,
Senior Town Planner gave necessary directions. The guidance and inspiration given by Sri. Jacob Easow, Senior
Town Planner, Smt. Ushakumari P.R, Town Planner and Sri. Baiju.K, Deputy Town Planner of the State Project Cell
is gratefully acknowledged without which this work would not have been possible. The other staff of the State
Project Cell also have been highly helpful in giving various inputs for the study.
Sri. K.M. Gopakumar and Sri. V.K. Mohandas contributed to the work as District Town Planners during the
currency of this project. The assistance offered by the statistical wing and Smt. Jamseera. C.P, Planning Assistant
is remarkable. The efforts put in by Sri. Saheer Poovanthodi, Town Planning Surveyor in the preparation of the
report needs special mention. All the staff of the District Town & Country Planning Office need to be specially
acknowledged for their keen participation in various stages without which this work would not have been
completed in the present form and time frame.

HISTORY AND REGIONAL LINKAGES
2.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The ancient history of the district is obscure.
During the Sangam period, the district formed part of
Chera Empire. The inscriptional evidence found at
the Triprangode temple indicates that Godaravi of the
Chera empire had his sway over this region. The rulers

of Ernad were the ancestors of Zamorins and the later
history of the district is interwoven with the history of
Zamorin rulers. Zamorin or Samuthiri originally
belonged to Nediyirippu in Ernad Taluk of the district,
before shifting his seat to Calicut. Zamorins later
conquered over Prappanad and Vettattunad (Tanur).
The war with the Valluvakonathiri ended in

OCCUPATIONAL STRUCTURE
The economic base of the district based on the
occupational structure as per census 2001 is studied in
this chapter. The change in economic base over a period

with the economic activities of the region. The three
criteria adopted during the census operations to
