indentify from other residents by the physical structure of their dwellings,
which are found to be congested, unhygienic and inhabitable. Respiratory
diseases are common among the slum dwellers. If look of the characteristics of
the slum we find miserable condition and a degraded environment. The people are
poor and hence the poverty of inhabitants is a universal characteristic of
slums.

fringe has been developed by Von Thunen. Then in the year 1925 Jonasson
revealed that the suburban area fulfills the needs of the town. In 1928,
MacKangie first of all expressed rural-urban fringe in “The New Exploration”
that the town recklessly uses the surrounding area.

areas are
not easy to define. We cannot assume that one particular area is rural and
another is urban, as individuals have their own definitions. For example, a row
of shops in a rural village may be considered to be urban to
local farmers. Whereas others may see an urban area as a place with many
mixed-use buildings and with a high population density.
