It attracts huge number of local, national and international tourists during every blooming season. This spectacular phenomenon happens only once in twelve years, thus it has got its own novelty which is never ending. Each blooming season witnesses an increase in number of visitors comparing to its previous blooming seasons. After 2006, in this year ‘2018’, Kerala is once again getting ready to extend a warm welcome to this marvelous event which will be having its peak time between the months of July to October. The forest department is expecting a total of 8 lakhs visitors in this Neelakurinji season. This study was undertaken as per the outcome of the meeting held on 11/10/2017 chaired by Hon. Chief Minister regarding Neelakurinji Blooming Season Preparedness (vide letter no. DM1/76/2017-DMD). The study conducted by Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA) mainly focused in identifying and preventing possible hazards which may cast dark shadow over this remarkable event through effective planning and preparedness on department basis. Approximately 1640 km2 area was demarcated and selected for conducting this study. The area is highly susceptible to major hazards like Landslides (High & Medium Hazard Zones), Flashfloods, Road accidents, Human animal conflicts etc. Most of the study area comes under high and medium landslide hazard zones; 1.27 km2 area is identified as flood prone. Even though main roads are not directly affected by floods, roads used by tourists to reach the blooming area can be affected by the floods, mainly Rajakkadu - Poppara road. The area possesses minimum infrastructure facilities which could increase the intensity and frequency of mishaps. The waterfall in various locations of the study area acts as a key in attracting tourists during monsoon season. The chances for flash flood in these areas are very high which makes this area vulnerable. Narrow and curved roads, inadequate parking facility and huge inflow of vehicles increases the frequency of road accidents. Human animal conflict is another important threat to the vehicles and tourists. The parking at animal crossing locations and disturbing them increases the attacking tendency of the wild animals. The dumping of waste along the road sides by the street vendors and visitors attracts wild animals to stay nearby the road. Since this blooming season overlaps with South West Monsoon and huge inflow of tourists, the severity of the hazards may increase if adequate precautions are not taken. This report is prepared to support the district administration and stakeholder departments to come out with their own respective action plans. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Introduction Idukki district is famous for its numerous hill stations. Munnar, a hill station in Devikulam Taluk is known for its rare flora and fauna. Munnar is situated in the high ranges of Idukki district; having an height of average 2011 meter above Mean Sea Level. Anamudi hills in Munnar are the highest peak in South India (2695 meter). Since long past Munnar has experienced a never-ending inflow of tourists due to its significant bio-diversity and natural aesthetic values. An approximate estimation of visitors every year in Munnar is about 0.6 million. The Eravikulam National Park is one of the protected areas in the Western Ghats. The National Park is situated 15 kilometres away from Munnar. The park spreads over an area of 97 sq.km whichhouses the endangered species Nilgiri Tahr. Half of the world population of this species lives in the high ranges of Idukki district. The Eravikulam National Park is divided into three regions – the core area, the buffer area and the tourism area. Visitors are allowed only to the tourism area. The Nilgiri Tahr can be seen at close quarters from here. Neelakurinji Blooming Season 2018 Munnar is once again going to experience the ‘once in every twelve year’ wonder in 2018 with the blooming of Neelakurinji Flowers, making the hills turn blue. This spectacular phenomenon can be witnessed between the months of July 2018 and October 2018. The last flowering was reported in 2006. This natural phenomena attracts tourists from round the globe thus the Neelakurinji blooming has got its own social, economic and cultural importance. Botanists call this phenomenon the blooming of 'Strobilanthes kunthiana', the botanical name of Neelakurinji. Neela in local parlance translates to the colour blue and Kurinji is the local name for the flower. Since the blooming area is coming completely under the forest Protected Area (PA), overall management of the site seeing facilitation would be done by the Kerala Forest Department. The park authorities are expecting about 0.8 million visitors during this blooming season. Better socio-economic scenario along with the eagerness to witness the rare and spectacular event and wide publicity given by the state are the major factors that contribute towards increase in the visitation volume. 1 Hazard Vulnerability Assessment: Neelakurinji Blooming Season - 2018 | SEOC, KSDMA CHAPTER 2 STUDY AREA Study Area The study area is located in the Eravikulam National Park.

Four variables have been considered for evaluating the quality of life of the stakeholders of ecotourism sites, which is then funneled to the income-education spectrum for hypothesizing into the SLI framework. Zone-wise analysis of the community members working in tourism sector shows that the community members have benefited totally from tourism development in the region as they have got both employments as well as secured livelihood options. Most of the quality of life-indicators of the community in the eco-tourist centres show a promising position. The community perception does not show any negative impact on environment as well as on their local culture.
