Rural population faces pull-push by the metro for their employment which further tress out on developed region in terms of infrastructure requirement. The unexpected population rise will not meet the planned supply of the basic services. On the other hand, people choice for the residential will also depend on independent choice and create many issues with the planner parameter of the region. This can be tackled using planning an area which is regionally balanced. Networks are all around us. Roads, railways, cables, pipelines, streams and even glaciers are phenomena that frequently need to be represented and analyzed as a network. Networks are used to move people, transport goods, communicate information and control the flow of matter and energy. It is not surprising then that techniques have been developed to analyze these most geographical phenomena. Road network system is important for any city as it provides the means for people movement transportation of goods and other emergency services like ambulances. Inefficient road network system will disrupt the transportation movement, environment and affect human movement and quality of life. A good road network system can generate economic growth, physical transformation and improved system of strategic connections. The main objective of this study is to develop a surface transport network system to reduce travel time and cost. Existing routes of Kapadwanj City have been studied and alternative routes have been suggested for proper planning of road network system using GIS. Network analysis is being carried out to solve the problems pertaining to spatial networks including the most efficient travel route, generating travel directions, locating the closest facility, and defining service areas based on travel time and distance covered using geo-informatics technology.
