Kochi has achieved extra ordinary economic growth in the last decade. She has earned enormous investments by means of Vallarpadam International Terminal, Special Economic Zone, Smart City, Infopark and such industrial centres. And these strategic economic investments as a whole, have rendered great contributions to the local financial structure and field of employment. Kakkanad is situated close to Thrikkakkara, and ancient capital of the legendary King, Mahabali. The place is a basic part of Kochi’s industrial basic as well as its broadcasting bastion. In local terms of democratic administration, Kakkanad belongs to Thrikkakkara Municipality. Being the administrative hub of Ernakulam District, there are several central government offices at Kakkanad; Such as Civil Station (District Collectorate, R.D.O) District Panchayat Office, Airman Selection Board, Shiksha Bhavan (Central H.R.D Ministry Office) Central Sreemsadan (local Labour Commissioner’s Office) etc. And these make Kakkanad very popular. Thus Kochi Water Metro Project is a golden feather on the developmental cap of Kakkanad. 207.79 Ares of land belonging to various villages at 3 taluks of Kanayannoor, Paravoor and Kochi, Ernakulam district are to be acquired for the construction of 15 Boat Jetties for the Project. This reports deals with the social impact study on Kakkanad Boat Jetty construction. The land area required to the acquired for the building of Kakkanad Boat Jetty is 0.1525 hectare area at Kakkanad Village, Kanayannoor Taluk, Ernakulam District. The said Boat Jetty is within the Municipal area of Thrikkakkara. The Kochi Water Metro Project is an integral system mutually connecting the islands of Kochi. The Project under the aegis of KMRL has obtained the approval of the Central and state Governments. 9 The Water transport system envisaged for Kochi focuses not only on the ferry services as the mode for public transportation, but also envisions a holistic development of the areas being connected by integrating the waterway system as a part of the entire public transport system of the city. Apart from the ferry service development, the project also looks into developing the existing and new roads providing increased access to the jetties and also within the islands, ensuring safety and security to all its users by way of active and well-lit streets, promoting use of small occupancy feeder modes to access the jetties, promoting property development around the jetties and place making. Besides the above, the project also aims at developing non motor vehicle modes, travel facilities for the differently abled, availability and parking facility for bicycles at the jetties, entertainment facilities, promoting tourism as a part of the project, and above all develop on overall Consumer – Centered and community – Participatory transport system, over and above a mere ferry service from one jetty to another. The goal of the project is to develop the best system at the least cost. Along with the development of travel modes, the project also includes plants to assess and expand the existing routes. Indeed a development Project might face adverse phases and the Rights Act – 2013 has been a device in place to protect the interests of those who suffer impact due to the project. This study is expected to help solving the problems and anxieties of the affected people, paying compensation and defining firm terms for the rehabilitation activities as per legal stipulations. KOCHI WATER METRO Kochi Water Metro Project is an integrated water transport project proposed by Kochi Metro Rail Limited. The project has been a jewel on the crown of Kochi, the Queen of the Arabia Sea. In the ancient times, water transportation had been the primary mode of movement in the Vempanadu Lake for people and Cargo. However, this has declined during the recent decades. The project helps reducing the pollution and traffic jams in the city and pave easy access for the island residents to the mainland and business centres. Water transportation is rather island than rail or road ways. The project makes it possible to launch eco-friendly efficient and safe boats fitted with state of the art engines. 10 The Project proposes variants of modernised air-conditioned catamaran passenger boats with wi-fi facility.Boat will have the latest safety and communication equipment. 50-100 passenger – capacity boats have a speed of 8 nautical.

Photo: H. Vibhu Proposal to operate water buses on city’s waterways to be submitted to Centre Navigable waterways in and around the city will buzz with faster and more comfortable boats in 2014, since Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) has readied a Rs 40-crore project for the purpose. “The proposal to operate water buses will soon be submitted to Union Urban Development Ministry to source JNNURM funds and a formal nod is expected within three months. Work on procuring the boats can begin by March,” said Elias George, MD of KMRL and Chairman of Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (UMTA). He was speaking at a function organised here to flag off State Water Transport Department’s (SWTD) Vyttila Mobility Hub-Kakkanad boat service. “Our aim is to introduce catamaran-type fibre-reinforced-plastic boats, which are delivered within a few months of the order being placed. Being lighter and faster than steel boats, they can cover the Vyttila-Kakkanad distance in 12 minutes,” Mr George said. In his inaugural address, Union Minister of State for Food and Public Distribution K.V. Thomas said that Kerala’s water transport sector must be brought out of the red. “The Kollam-Kottapuram National Waterway III has tremendous potential to transport cargo.” Kochi Metro alone might not be able to decongest the city.

  • Kochi, the Commercial Capital of Kerala, Is One of the Fastest Growing
    Kochi, the commercial capital of Kerala, is one of the fastest growing two-tier metropolitan cities in India with a population of 13.55 lakh, including the Kochi Urban Agglomeration(KUA)1.The Kochi Urban Agglomeration comprises of Kochi Municipal Corporation, five municipalities, 15 Panchayats and a part of three Panchayats. The city has an area of 94.88sq. km. Urban expansion during the past few decades outgrew the limits of Kochi City. The immediate hinterland of Kochi Port has been delineated as the Greater Kochi Region, which covers 731 sq. km- almost eight times the area of the city. The population growth in Kochi Municipal Corporation alone is expected to be 10 per cent per decade. The growth of population in the remaining area is expected to be 19 per cent per decade. Although the present population of the adjoining municipalities and Panchayats is less than the population of the Kochi Municipal Corporation, it is projected that the former will be greater. This will create unprecedented transport demand and passenger inflow to the already congested city adding more inter-city buses and private vehicles.2 Records say that about 2,000 vehicles are registered in the city limits in a month; 85 percent of which are private ones. The widening gap between the growing number of vehicles, the lack of infrastructure and unscientific plans has turned life worse for the average Kochiite. The city roads are over-crowed with road-based public and private vehicles. Kochi has around 630 city buses, 3,000 auto-rickshaws, 6,500 taxis and countless cars and motorcycles.

  • Kochi Metro Which Is Being Formulated by DMRC Also Should Be Taken Up
    CITY MOBILITY PLAN - KOCHI 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL Kochi, the largest agglomeration in the state of Kerala is the nerve centre of all commercial activities in Kerala. One of the major ports in the country Kochi is blessed with connection with other parts of the country through all modes of transport like road, rail, air and water. NH 17, NH 47, and NH 49 pass through Kochi. Kochi port is located on strategic International route. Broad gauge railway lines link up Kochi to all major cities of the country. Kochi has got one of the three international airports in the state. In addition to all these the regional road linkages are supplemented by an extensive network of navigation routes through the lagoon system, serving the movement of passenger and cargo. Insufficient carrying capacity of the intra-urban and sub urban routes, unhindered development of vast areas as urban extensions due to urbanization, unscientific planning in urban infrastructure development , absence of proper linkage of various forms of transportation etc. have resulted in an inadequate mobility system in the city and suburbs. As part of the comprehensive development of the city an efficient mobility plan has to be formulated. 1.2 STUDY AREA It was only in the beginning of the 19th century that Kochi , which was situated with in the narrow strip of land sandwiched between backwaters and sea outgrew to Ernakulam in the eastern side of the back waters. The narrow streets of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry were not sufficient to take up the travel demand even at that time.
