5.5.3 Scalogram Representation of Settlement Hierarchy Manual Scalogram Analysis of Settlements is the manual version of the Guttman scale is primarily a graphic and nonstatistical device that arrays functions by ubiquity (frequency of presence) and ranks settlements by functional complexity on a matrix chart.

The identified first, second, third and fourth order of settlements are represented in the form of a scalogram wherein the name of the settlements is mentioned on the left side

and the parameters is mentioned on the top. If the facility is available in the settlement it is mentioned with 1 in a dark shade and if the facility is not available in the settlement it is mentioned with 0 in a light shade.

The scalogram analysis is done for all the 473 gram panchayats. The chart clearly gives an idea about the number of facilities in each gram panchayats. It is also observed that the health care facilities are comparatively poor when compared to the educational facilities among all order of settlements. Also the sanitation facility is also poor amongst all the rural settlements.

The basic purpose of doing this scalogram representation is to understand what particular facility is lacking in each rural settlement as well as in the overall district.
