K.YOGESWARI iii ABSTRACT Sustainable transportation system aim at designing of congestion- free urban planning with bicycle and pedestrian friendly design of their areas. It focuses on moving people and not only the vehicles, which in turn would reduce air pollution as well as the increasing congestion. Sustainability can be achieved with the change in behavioral aspects of people. When people understand the impact of transportation they can in turn make choices that reduces the need for resources and thus minimize the adverse impacts. The aim of this study is to provide a systematic description and analysis of Sustainable road layout design using Fuzzy logic system. The selection of methodological framework is justified on the ground that it enables one to group the interlink ages between the various indicators of the sustainability, while at the same time, highlighting the factors that influence such interlink ages. A suburban area (Tambaram) in south Chennai, Tamilnadu state, India, is chosen for conducting the analysis of sustainable road layout. The present work is exploratory in its methodology and theoretical framework. The study utilizes the sustainable transportation planning concept for Road layout design for suburban area. The use of multi objective optimization method by fuzzy logic is present further in this thesis, will allow engineers, planners and decision makers to optimize the component of an urban street and obtain the perceived level of services across all modes on urban street within a given right of way. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER NO.

    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT District Disaster Management Authority Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT TAMIL NADU PREFACE Endowed with all the graces of nature’s beauty and abundance, the newly created district of Chengalpattu is a vibrant administrative entity on the North eastern part of the state of Tamil Nadu. In spite of the district’s top-notch status in terms of high educational, human development index and humungous industrial productivity, given its geography, climate and certain other socio-political attributes, the district administration and its people have to co-exist with the probabilities of hazards like floods, cyclone, Tsunami, drought, heat wave, lightning and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergencies. The Disastrous events in the recent past like the Tsunami of 2004, the catastrophic floods of year 2015, the cyclone of year 2016 and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic, will serve as a testament to the district’s vulnerability to such hazards. How the society responds to such vagaries of nature decides the magnitude and intensity of the destruction that may entail hazardous events. It is against this back drop, the roll of the District Disaster Management Authority can be ideally understood. The change in perspective from a relief- based approach to a more holistic disaster management approach has already begun to gain currency among the policy makers due to its substantial success in efficient handling of recent disasters across the globe. The need of the hour, therefore, is a comprehensive disaster management plan which is participative and people-friendly with the component of inter- departmental co-ordination at its crux.

A “Brand Promise”, constructing homes within existing residential localities goes uncompromised, touchwood, cue taken from the list of customers most desirous needs. With many market leaders & players in this industry, unmindful, we wanted to position this brand that precisely meets the primary need, ie., “The homes within residential locations with all the comfort of nearby schools, hospitals, markets & bus / train facilities. A meaningful promise truly any buyer would consider in this world that is shrinking. Years back during my first project, one of the Inquirer, who later became my Customer, asked me if there was a possibility 1) To resize the room? 2) Choose Floor and bathroom tiles of his own choice 3) Choose Wall colors & textures of his own choice? Impelled with his thoughtful need, after a bit of thinking on technical viability, I said Yes, that is when I included another “Brand Promise”, “The Customization”. Since then, purely to deliver Customer’s most desirous & essential needs, I had made it a point that all my projects carry above “TWO Promises” imperturbably during viable project situation & without compromising Government norms: In furtherance of Customer comfort, our recent projects have Homes with elegantly designed terrace like space within the same floor, “The Private Terrace”, one can use it without climbing the stairs.
