This paper attempts to deal with the identifying the
service centers and calculation of the spatial arrangement with
complementary area of service centres in Jaunpur district
Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh. The study area is situated in
Eastern Uttar Pradesh of the Middle Ganga Plain. The study is
exclusively based on secondary data collected at block level
from different offices. The centrality score has been calculated
on the basis of three type of indices like functional centrality
index, working population index and tertiary population index.
There are 31 function or services selected judicially from five
sectors (administrative, agricultural and financial, educational,
health and transport and communication) to measure the
centrality of service centre. The thissen polygon and berry
breaking point method has been used for measure the
complementary area. Total 88 service centres have been
identified as first, second, third, fourth and fifth order service
centre. The number of I, II, III, IV, and V order centres accounts
