Msc Thesis Pusp Raj Bhatt Urban Planning Rural Urban Transition Management.pdf

Nepal is undergoing the transformation. In due course, the rural areas in Nepal are under the process of transformation into urban areas. As a matter of fact, in new Constitution of Nepal 2072, the local government are classified as the Municipal and Rural Municipal areas. Whereas, the municipal areas are defined as the de facto urban areas in National Urban Development Strategy. But by the living experiences and observations, most of the areas covered in the Municipality area has the rural character. As a result of which, two different perception of the Municipal area is generated among the people who live in the municipality and the government side who has declared the Municipality. The observations and living experiences in the municipality area clearly shows the predominant rural character. Whereas, the government strategy defines the area as de facto urban area, simply because of declaration as municipality. Hence, the certain strain, friction and conflict in rural to urban transformation is expected to occur. Since, the duality of the Municipal area as Rural area and Urban area at once is observed from the Urban Planning perspective. Which certainly restricts the pace of urbanization on implementation of rules and regulations as per the urban area in the rural area and vice versa. As to provide the smooth and rapid urbanization as aspired by the government, certain rural-urban transition management tool and technique is necessary. This research tries to find out urban planning tools by which the transition of rural urban transformation can be managed. The research tries to find out the existing reality of the Patan Municipality as predominant rural and partly urban area. The municipality as a whole is in the transition of rural urban transformation. The present reality of the municipality is predominant rural which is trying to transform as urban area. But, the entire municipal area as a whole is not possible to develop as urban area because of its geography. The development perspective needed in the core urban area and peripheral rural area is different. The management of development in the present transitional stage of the municipal area as the urban area from rural area need to follow the urban planning guidance as management tool. The core urban area need to develop as the sub city of which the peripheral area shall be developed as the urban expansion area, the rest of the area outside of the urban expansion need to be developed as conservation area. The peripheral market areas in each previous wards need to develop as the market center as population defined by urban planning norms and standards of Government of Nepal. With the urban planning approach, the central urban area becomes developed as a sub city. The peripheral of which then develop as the urban expansion area and the outer as the conservation area including agriculture, rivers, forests and its hills on the periphery. The market centres follows the similar pattern of development as that of central sub city from market centre at core, market centre expansion area on periphery and the conservation area at outermost. Hence, the entire municipality gets connected in the urban system as a whole where each market centre gets connected to the urban centre which is the sub city by strong road network.

Squatters' organizations are a notable driving force of civil society movements in Nepal. Their alliance, working on urban squatter issues, has been trying to change their strategy from one of confrontation with government authorities to one of collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including non-squatter neighbours. This paper reviews a decade of squatters' movement in Nepal. It highlights the changes in relationship between squatters and non-squatters and recent moves for public—private—community partnership. The paper argues the importance of getting more attention from non-squatter citizens for policy changes to ensure housing rights.

The title of the presented research is Community based Earthquake Vulnerability Reduction in Traditional Settlements of Kathmandu Valley. Its main objective is to understand the communities in the traditional settlements of Kathmandu Valley, their earthquake vulnerabilities and capacities. Similarly it has the objective of identifying appropriate community based approach for earthquake vulnerability reduction in selected communities of the valley. The research was initiated in spring 2008 at Institute of Engineering under Trans-Himalayan University Network for Development and Research (THUNDER) with NUFU funding. This research was important since its inception because of the vulnerability of Nepal especially Kathmandu valley against earthquakes. Therefore, research started studying the history of earthquakes in Kathmandu valley. It located the first recorded history of earthquake in Kathmandu Valley in 1223AD. Similarly, it studied the literature to define communities in Nepalese context. It also considered definitions of vulnerabilities to understand vulnerability in Kathmandu context. It went through the approaches adopted to reduce such vulnerabilities. During the literature studies, researcher studied the participatory development, participation and people centric development approach. In order to gain better understanding on disaster risk management, researcher studied contemporary documents available in the form of practices, policies and acts referring to disasters in Nepal. Likewise, studies were carried out in the area of community based disaster risk management. According to the studies conducted, it came to a conclusion that there exists a significant gap in understanding the vulnerabilities of communities regarding earthquake disasters. The contemporary earthquake vulnerability reduction practices in Nepal are overwhelmed by advocacy of reduction of physical vulnerability. The overwhelming advocacy of physical vulnerability of structures has overcastted the social and cultural vulnerability in the communities. However, the research considered that there exist physical, social and cultural vulnerabilities in Nepal which could be reduced and one of the tools to reduce those vulnerabilities is by involving communities. In other words, it could be said that earthquake vulnerabilities could be reduced through community based approach. Research considered the fact that increasing participation in disaster risk reduction is a challenge due to several factors like lack of resources, lack of institutional capacities, lack of motivation to the participants and immediate benefits to them. Therefore, research was conducted to explore the appropriate community based approach. In order to fulfill the objective and find answer the research questions, research adopted case study method considering Kathmandu valley as a major case study area and several cases within it. It is considered to be an exploratory research. It was carried out following steps of proposal writing, literature review, identification of research methodology and case area identification. After case area identification, the case studies were carried out. During the case studies, there were literature studies, case studies of community based organizations and consumers’ cooperative, household questionnaire survey, participation in multiple activities related to disaster risk management were carried out. The research did data analysis and arrived at the conclusion after accomplishment of case studies. The proposal writing was carried out at the beginning of the research. It was accomplished by April 2008. The next step was to carry out the literature review. Although literature review is a continued process, the first and major round of survey was carried out during May 2008 to March 2009. After the literature survey, researcher started to identify the case study area and started conducting the field studies which comprised largely with secondary data collection through literature, participations in meetings, in-person interviews, site visits, household questionnaire survey and participation in different activities related to the research topics. The household questionnaire survey was conducted during May 2009-June 2010. The researcher with the involvement of one of the community groups in Patan surveyed 256 households with a research population of 6321 households. The questionnaire contained 78 major questions with 181 variables. The next tool of the research was participation. In this process, there were activities like radio interview, seminar, training, conferences participation and paper presentations, elective course offerings, awareness building, guest lecturing, participation in traditional rituals and festivals etc. during the research period. The participation enabled researcher to understand the actual context in the case area and contributed in knowledge sharing. The period of field work ended in the month of June 2010. Next important period of research was period of data analysis, findings and conclusion. It started in the month of July 2010 and ended in August 2011. During this period, researcher did two credited course in University of Alberta, Canada on Community based resource management and Risk and vulnerability. The data analysis phase has contributed to establish new knowledge as conclusion. According to the data analysis, research identified the existence of several active community based organizations are active in selected communities for community development. They have developed a mechanism of fund raising and collection of such resources for their activities. The household questionnaire survey in Patan revealed that all selected toles are highly vulnerable in physical terms and are moderately vulnerable in social and cultural terms. Hence, along with physical vulnerability reduction, it is needed to increase the adaptive capacities of local communities. The data analysis also revealed that the historic trend of community participation for common good is still active and moderately high in traditional settlements of Kathmandu valley. It also explored that communities in such settlements are interested to participate in earthquake vulnerability reduction activities if such activities avail the livelihood opportunities. According to the data, communities are interested to contribute some amount of their earnings for a community pool of resources as there is an opportunity to develop such pool at community level for disaster risk reduction. The data analysis contributed to find the answer to the research question. According to the findings of research, it could be narrated that despite of existing physical, social and cultural vulnerabilities in terms of earthquake disasters, the long history of participatory physical and social development activities as the culture and tradition of communities has contributed for the evolution of present day community based initiatives. Such initiatives are actively engaged in the area of common cause, community benefits and use of common properties at local level at present. The moderately high participatory trends should be capitalized to reduce the earthquake vulnerability in the selected communities. While capitalizing participatory trend, culture, tradition and interest, the program goal should be focused on recurrent issues of community people and increase their adaptive capacities. In order to increase the adaptive capacity, resilience governance should be established. In order to establish and operate in a perpetual manner, resources and funds are required at local level. The concept of ‘community basket’ would be appropriate in fostering the existing consumers’ cooperative or developing a new one at the local level to work in earthquake vulnerability reduction in particular and in the area of Disaster Risk Management in general. At the end of fourth year of studies, in April 2012, the researcher submitted the preliminary draft copy of dissertation and findings and did a departmental presentation to Departmental Research Committee of Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, TU. Researcher also revisited the case study area of Patan, interviewed the youths involved in the research earlier, and reviewed and revisited the existing knowledge in community based disaster management and in research methods. According to the reviews and revisits, the findings and answers to the research questions were validated. The review and revisits also contributed to understand the resilience governance in details. Besides, the research methodology adopted in this research appeared to be close to the contemporary research method called as ‘community based participatory research’ which is popular in North America since last 25 years. The researcher then rewrote the dissertation addressing the comments, suggestions and remarks from supervisors, professors and the community people and submitted the final draft in September 2012. The researcher admits that there are some limitations of the study. This research has not been able to study the management aspects of consumers’ cooperatives. Such cooperatives are important to foster resilience governance at community level as the research has identified. Similarly, the research has not been able to discuss on resource generation at local level as needed. It just highlighted the concepts developed by one of the local youth groups in Patan in the name of Heritage Walk. Such concepts are to be studied in details as those could contribute for perpetuity of resource generation to be utilized through cooperatives. The research has proposed process of vulnerability assessment to incorporate physical, social and cultural aspects of the selected communities however it has not been able to develop a complete tool for the purpose. Hence there is a need of vulnerability assessment tool developed in future.

In the changed environment resulting from the liberalization of economy, NEA may not remain as sole producer and distributor of electricity in the country. Thus attaining commercial viability is more of an important for NEA for its survival and growth. This can only be achieved with the modern method of human resource management in NEA and government's strong political commitment to run the NEA as commercial organization.

This paper presents the necessity of social inclusion for the socially excluded and disadvantaged groups, focusing on Dalits’ education. It highlights the present educational system policies, barriers and the ways out of Dalits. Social inclusion is one of the multi dimensional concepts which have diverse impact in the field of development. It also differs in the mainstream of education. The exclusion of dalits were found accelerating by the traditional school pedagogical practices of banking concept, class based big disparity between high caste groups and Dalits, and prevailing denationalization of school system of Nepal. Though there are policies, different plans and scholarship facilities, Dalits are still backward in the mainstream of education.

Risks have an important influence in housing, apartment, and real estate project in conceptualizing or pre-planning, planning and implementation of cost, time, and quality. In Kathmandu valley only, 20000 housings and apartment units built every year. As the housing and apartment project's complexity is naturally increased, an ability to manage risks throughout the construction process has become a central element to prevent unwanted consequences. I adopted mixed method with pragmatist philosophical worldview, which covers ontological, epistemological, and methodological assumptions. Data were collected through in-depth interview as well as the quantitative survey and questionnaire. The quantitative study involved forty housings, apartment, and real estate construction projects running in Nepal and comprised a questionnaire survey and a series of interviews with them. The research participants included contractors and consultants involved in these construction projects. Data collection techniques included qualitative survey and in-depth interview with taken with six respondents representing authority chief from each authority and one director of reputed developers company. In addition focus group discussions were conducted two times. No developers were carrying out the systematic risk management during pre-planning or planning phase. If they followed then it occurred only during implementation phase. The risk factors were external as well as internal. There were different risk factors in the projects mainly legal problem, policy framework related problems, political problems, financial problems, economic related problems, technical problems, maintaining qualities problems, human resource problems, social problems, cultural problems and organizational or institutional problems. How risks are accepted, rejected, sheared or reduced between the project stakeholders is largely governed by the project management option and the content of the related contract documents. The overall aim of this research was to explore, analyze, and mitigate the understanding of risk management in the housings, apartments, and real estate projects. Deeper understanding by means of detailed study in pre-planning and planning phase is expected to enhance more effective risk management and, therefore, a better productivity and better quality to be achieved, which creates the satisfactions to builder and buyer of the housing and apartments. Keywords: Risk explores, Risk analysis, Risk ranking, Risk response, Housing & Apartment projects, project pre-planning, Project Planning and Project implementation

Urban Planning Thesis/ Research Topic Suggestions (Part 1)

Introduction, urban planning.

Cities and tourist movement have both historical and dynamic relationship. Urban places often act as major attractions and serve as gateways to or staging areas for tourism. Tourism is at the heart of many cities’ development projects. Tourism is a major driving force in the development and stimulator of a new urbanity in metropolises and cities.

Urban Finance

Cities are growing at a remarkable rate and will continue to expand more. Planning urbanization in advance in conjunction with urban finance for implementation will help cities avoid unplanned and informal growth. When investment in cities is guided by good planning principles, it unlocks the potential for growth making sustainable development attainable.

Environment Planning

However, different approaches are taken while integrating city development among them adoption of critical urban designs that enhances ways of life.

Urban Planning

In particular, traffic management in the city is one of the biggest challenges facing city building and designs departments globally. In essence, traffic entails challenges that are presumed to detour progressive development of a city due to inconveniences that it creates. Many planners globally have sought mechanisms that would contain the problem of traffic through city road designs among other approaches. The drawing of city roads invokes development of new architectural designs that considers the social, cultural and physical environment through which the city development framework is grounded. This scenario is not an exemption to Kpone city of Ghana where traffic management is a significant issue to enhance effective transportation throughout the city and its environment. In essence, the city development framework is particularly defined by its proximity to the capital city, Accra. The development of robust traffic management prospects act as one of the main pathway to the realization of a serene city that does not only increase convenience to the residents but also attracts tourists from local and foreign sources. The serenity of a city is a crucial element of consideration in the development of an effective business environment.

In addition, urban designs focus on the management of the population which has a direct impact on the management of the available city resources. Many aspects leverage city population globally. For instance, majority of the African states have poor resource distribution as well as the disparity in supply of crucial products and services such as water, security and recreation services. In this regard, this scenario has a pumping effect where individuals from upcountry have a continuous migration from rural to urban settings. This process creates a progressive increase in city population which results into shifting targets on the essentials that a population seeks to achieve in the long-run. The basic interests of a city are fundamental considerations while designing various project locations of a city. As an African set city, Kpone is also faced with this challenge. The city planners are challenged with ever-changing population that often piles pressure on the existing facilities besides overstretching both resources and the social amenities available in the city.

Urban design must consider not only the current population of a city but also form a future projection of the real scenario of the city in future. Population dynamics has both benefits and short-comings. These entail considerations of the city population both currently and in the long-run. The determination of this projected population review provides a platform for generating critical data that informs best choice of a city design that would enhance the capacity of city amenities in meeting population demands currently and in future. However, in order to enhance city planning process, it is important to focus on some of the elements that determine short-term and long-term demands of the population which are largely shaped by native cultures as well as the dynamics culminating from the metropolis nature of a city.

Urban Design

In many instances, city life is characterized with different cultures related by vicinity as well as shared amenities such as water supply and health services. However, many of the urban dwellers comprising of conservative lifestyles, the interactions between different individuals is highly defaced and subject to poor terms both in the short-run and in the long-run. This situation calls for the development of cohesive mentality not only among the city leadership but also based on the city dwellers in a given populace.

Due to a series of factors that influence city life, urban designs play a significant role in promoting decency among city dwellers. High quality urban designs are very important in developing a great city. Ranging from large scale plan to the smallest building and site designs, urban designers always strive at each level of development to establish beautiful, safe, inclusive and vibrant cities for the population it serves. In some instances, the population may dictate the ideal objects for inclusion in the city designing profile. These subject matters that the residents could contribute in include some important historical artifacts that are crucial to the city and the country at large. For instance, the principle underlying the Public Art Program in Toronto is its presentation of public benefit for the enjoyment of the population and visitors across the city.

Kpone as an emerging center of growth and a crucial area of development share various aspects in common with the capital city of Ghana, Accra which is one of the fastest growing cities across Africa. With these advances while holding resource factors constant, the adoption of Main Street design in Kpone is deemed to spearheads robust growth based on orderly development in the city. Besides, this process may also ignite attraction of prospective investors which engage higher levels of attractive growth both currently and in the long-run. City planning also involves private and public arts that make buildings and other open spaces highly attractive and more interesting to the population in order to enhance quality of public realms. However, planning shapes the development of such art works besides manipulating their qualities with regard to visibility and accessibility to the public in the city vicinity. Similarly, city planning and designing also seek to determine the contributions of the public art on the public lands of the city.

Urban Design Concepts

Another crucial advance in city planning and development process is the adoption of ‘Main Street’ Planning mechanism. While this choice could be quite ideal in many developed countries, it may pose significant challenges in the African or developing countries based cities due to challenges of resource allocation formulae, space notwithstanding. Some of the elements that constitute benefits of a Main Street development in cities is the development of attractive and efficient downtown cities. Besides, these plans constitute policies that are central to the facilitation of development of properties along extensions of light rails to mixed-use and trans-oriented pattern of development. Subsequently, this process would effectively result into achievement of high energy efficiency and enhanced sustainability of the city amenities such as street lights and water lines courtesy of esteemed designs.

Besides, Main Street Plan is also associated with consolidating the needs of the city population and the adjacent population including health, welfare and safety. These benefits in particular are geared towards enhancing the social status of neighborhood that is critical in promoting sustainable development of the city through minimal disturbances. Besides, it creates a platform for enhancing social lifestyles beyond the current level and achieves a transition into new development. This fosters the realization of good neighborhood in future. Other benefits may also entail the identification of capital improvement demands within the area of focus in order to provide the requisite infrastructure to achieve the set out development plans. New cities have been the center of focus in recent decade as a fundamental pillar of future Africa’s urban development. However, the basic framework of these developments is based on the viability and the perceived benefits of the adopted plans in enhancing city lifestyle for both natives and visitors.
