Here an attempt has been made to identify the micro-level spatial organization of the rural service centres in Dariapur community development block of Saran District (Bihar). Irrespective of the fact whether an area is developed or otherwise, rural service centres by and large come into existence but a balanced spatial organization will not necessarily exist every where. It is subjected to the physical as well as socio-cultural and economic conditions prevailing in the area concerned. The methodology here used will be of the centrality index and index of the distinctiveness. The study has shown that the evolution of rural service centres in this micro unit has been determined to a very great extent by the enemical hydrographic conditions of the area. The layout of roads, lanes, streets etc. is governed by the degree of immunity from the submergence and water logging and therefore service centres have to come into existence accordingly.

Centrality, Distinctiveness, Ecological, Behavioral, Altitude, Survivorship, Growth pole, Growth centre.
