GIS study of rejuvenated textile industries in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.

Abstract

Background: The textile industry in Coimbatore, commonly known as the "Manchester of South India," came into existence around the early 1900s. The textile sector flourished here due to the abundance of cotton, proximity to the Western Ghats for hydroelectricity, and the availability of trained workers.

The city currently is an important cog in the moving wheel of India's textile industry with great regard for quality and innovation for both domestic and foreign industries. Aim: The research is to develop GIS mapping of rejuvenated textile industry in Coimbatore. Objectives: For the identification of the growth of the textile industry in Tamil Nadu and Coimbatore, for analysis of rejuvenation of the textile industry from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, in the chosen organization and firms, to visualize GIS patterns of the finest textile industries in Coimbatore. Research question: RQ 1) Why Coimbatore growth in textile industry is being mapped as Tier-2 city in India? RQ 2) What are textile industries in India and how it was developed? Methodology: Literature reviews – with 10 papers reviews on the GDP, Tourism and industries in Tamil Nadu. Additionally considering my topic in textile industry for which 5 paper were reviewed. Methods and results: With the help of ArcGIS Pro, I identified Tamil Nadu shape files and attribute tables from the census data 2011. With the help of symbiology to create different patterns of textile industries and redeveloped textile mill like Lakshmi mills, Coimbatore. Conclusion: Identifying, analyzing and visualization of textile industries in Coimbatore region has helped to create GIS patterns, Explaining the growth and current affairs in the textile industry. The textile sector in Coimbatore exhibits a significant degree of spatial con-centration, which is accompanied by notable challenges related to infrastructure and environmental sustainability, as evidenced by Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping analyses. Limitations: This study focuses on demographic and economic spatial data due to limitations in data availability and time constraints. Future research on Mumbai could expand to include sustainable indicators such as environmental factors, technological advancements, and governance practices.
