Summary and Conclusion
6.1 Introduction:
A periodic market is an authorized gathering of buyer, sellers and commodities meeting
at an appointed place at particular intervals of time period. These are trading markets, in
practice most of periodic markets meet daily and once or twice a week. An unorganized
group of merchants and sellers visit market sites on the market days and the get
employment in whole week. However there are some limitations in movement of sellers
distance is one of them which affect both the sellers and buyers. Distance affects the
supply as well as the costs of goods. In marketing system the distance is not only a
distance but it is turned into economic distance. Economic distance is determined by time
and fare from the distance of market centres to the site of settlement. A market is based
on the supply and demand model; the supply and demand is based on the linkages
between buyers and sellers. Two types of linkages act as determinants in linking between
sellers and buyers. These linkages search the origin and destination of goods and
services, from where the goods are bought to be sold and where they go to be consumed.
In both cases the means of transportation and communication determined the linkages of
marketing system.
Since commodity is the centre point of marketing system, all activities revolve around the
commodity thus it is more important to know about commodity and its classification. A
good is physical product that can be used to satisfy some desire or need. It can be
contrasted with a service which is insubstantial, whereas a good is a tangible physical
product, capable of being delivered to a purchaser and involves the transfer of ownership
from seller to customer. On the basis on longevity commodity is classified in durable and
non-durable goods.

6.2 Summary of Chapters:
The present study has been studied through six chapters including the present chapter.
The salient aspects of the study, methodology and analysis of each of the chapters have
been discussed follows -
First chapter is the introductory part of the study which describes the theoretical aspects
of periodic markets, its meaning, characteristics, functions and linkages. The chapter has
also studied the market information system, commodity and its classification.
To show the impact of research in society, it is important to deal with the study area and
its constituents. The area of study is 'National Capital Region', comprised by fourteen
districts of four states including NCT Delhi. The study area is a planning region which is
governed by NCRPB (National Capital Region Planning Board) Ministry of urban
development. For research convenience the research area has been divided in four
physiographic regions with excluding of NCT Delhi and the NCT Delhi has been studied
separately. Since the NCR is not an administrative region therefore we have to follows
the district boundary to divide the study area. The study area is economically very
dynamic and socially vibrant. Here there is exposition of traditional and modern
marketing systems.
The introduction chapter highlights the main objectives of the study, data base, sources of
data and maps, research methodology, research design and research questions. The
second part of introduction contains a summary of literature survey and the hypotheses
drawn there from.
Second chapter is the focussed on spatial distribution of rural periodic markets in NCR
The main objectives of this chapter is to identify the regional and spatial distribution of
rural periodic markets in region. To analyze the spatial and regional distribution of
periodic markets in NCR the Toposheets of Survey of India and NATMO maps are used.
To analyse the pattern of distribution of rural periodic markets the principle of Nearest
Neighbour Analysis has been applied.
To know about the actual condition of markets in rural areas in NCR, primary survey was
conducted at market level. There have been 12 markets selected from the different
districts of study area. The data collected through the questioners have been used to
illustrate the commodity structure and commodity flow of the markets.
172
There are 303 rural periodic markets, which are distributed in four different
physiographic regions of NCR. Most of the markets are located in Ganga-Yamuna Doab
followed by Hindan-Yamuna Doab, South-West region and North-West region. The
distribution pattern of periodic markets in the region is in random form. The 'R' value
shows that the region has random distribution of periodic markets. Largest average size
of periodic markets in terms of area is located in North-western region followed by
South-western region, Ganga-Yamuna Doab and Hindan-Yamuna Doab. Expectedly the
largest periodicities are distributed in the region of Ganga-Yamuna Doab followed by
Hindan-Yamuna doab, South-West region and North-West region. The maximum
numbers of markets are held on daily basis. In periodic markets most of the shops belong
to non-durable goods. Most of the buyers and sellers belong to the age group of 50-60
years. Most of the buyers come to the market on their own foot and sellers use bicycles to
carry their goods.
Third chapter entitled with 'Spatial Distribution of Urban Periodic Markets in National
Capital Territory'. The chapter deals with the distribution of urban periodic markets in
NCT Delhi. Along with distribution, periodicity of markets and commodity structure of
surveyed markets of different vendor zones of NCT. In all fourteen market sites were
selected from the twelve vendor zones. Details of market centres are explained on the
basis of data which are collected from the primary survey and observations of market
places. To analyze and represent the commodity structure of the periodic markets in
NCT, the bars and pie diagrams have been used. To analyze the actual distribution of
periodic markets in NCT the Toposheets of Survey of India and NATMO maps are used
to analyse the type of distribution of urban periodic markets. To find out their distribution
the N.N.A. (Nearest Neighbour Analysis) has been used.
There are 223 urban periodic markets distributed in twelve different vendor zones of
NCT Delhi. Most of the markets are in Rohini zone followed by Najafgarh, Shahadara
North, West zone, Shahadara south, Civil line, South zone, Central zone, City zone,
Karol Bag and Narela zone. In NCT the markets are organized on every day, held on
different place and sites, but most of the markets are organized on Fridays. Spatial
distribution of markets is determined by the 'R' value shows that the region has random
distribution of periodic markets. Janakpuri C-block has the largest market in surveyed
173
markets and Paharganj main market is the smallest market. In periodic markets most of
the shops belong to non-durable goods. Most of the buyers and sellers belong to the age
group of 40-50 years. Most of the buyers come to the market on their own foot and sellers
use bicycles to carry their goods.
The fourth chapter 'NCR- Rural Periodic Market: Network and Linkages, a case Study'
the chapter deals with the network and linkages of the rural periodic market of Misra
Garhi village in Ghaziabad district. The chapter gives details buyers profile, sellers
profile and the pattern of commodity flow based on the data collected from I 00 buyers
and 100 sellers in the markets. Bars and pie diagrams have been used to present data.
Simple correlation coefficients have been worked out among variables like age, origin
distance from the market, mode of transportations and carriers, and types of commodity;
purchased and sold. The market is held every Wednesday of the week in evening. It has
a good supply chain with the Ghaziabad city. The sellers generally procure their supply
from the Ghaziabad, New Delhi, Hapur and Meerut. Readymade and handmade garments
are generally procured from the New Delhi and Ghaziabad. Vegetables and fruits are
procured from the Hapur and Meerut.
In the study the correlation values support the positive correlation between sex of buyers
and age of buyers. Age of buyer is positively correlated with mode of transportation and
expenditure of buyer is negatively correlated with age of buyers. Origin distance of
buyers has moderate and negative correlations with mode of transportation and
expenditure of buyers in the shop. Mode of transportation has positive correlations with
expenditure of buyers in the shops and number of market visited by buyers. Number of
market visited by buyers has positive and moderate correlations with the type of
commodity.
In seller profile the correlation values support the negative correlation between sex of
sellers and age of sellers. Sex of sellers has positive correlations with origin distance of
sellers, number of male buyers at the shops and number of markets visited by sellers. Age
of sellers has moderate and negative correlation with number of visited markets. Origin
distance of sellers has positive and moderate correlation with mode of carriers.
174
Chapter-5, NCT- Urban Periodic Market: Network and Linkages, a case Study, this
chapter is focused on the different aspects of buyers and sellers of market. To show the
real profiles of buyers, sellers and commodity the bar and pie diagrams have been used.
Present chapter is also focusing the correlations among variables like age, origin distance,
mode of transpirations and carriers and types of commodity of buyers and sellers. To
show correlations the statistical analyses have been used.
In the study the correlation values shows the negative and significant relationship
between sex of buyers and age of buyers. Sex of buyers is positively correlated with
origin distance of buyers. Sex of sellers has the negative correlation with mode of
carriers. Mode of carriers and number of visited markets has significantly negative
correlation.
Sixth chapter is Summary and Conclusion is concluding part of research, which IS
summarizing the results and findings of study on chapter level.
