EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Myagdi District is located in Dhaulagiri Zone of the Western Development Region of Nepal. It borders with Manang, Kaski and Parbat districts to the East, Baglung and Rukum districts to the West, Dolpa and Mustang districts to the North and Baglung district to the South. Topographically, Myagdi district entails 28°20' - 28°47' latitude and 83° 08' - 83°53' longitudes. Geopolitically, the district is administratively divided into one electoral constituencies 11 Illakas which consist of 41 VDCs. Each VDC is divided into 9 Wards. The total area of the district is 2,297.06 sq km. Geographically, 56% of area is lies in high- hill, 36% area lies in mountain and remaining 8% area lies in plain valley land of Myagdi district. The lowest elevation point is 792 meter lies on Ratnechaur VDC and the highest elevation point is 8,167 meter of mount Dhaulagiri from mean sea level. Elevation of District Headquarters Myagdi is 860 m.

Subsistence agriculture farming, mainly small scale livestock is the main source of occupation and livelihood of the majority of the population, with 86% of the population active in this sector. Due to low level of agricultural production, the majority of the households face acute food shortages for a large part of the year.

The district inventory identified just over 567 km of roads, including 40 km of strategic roads and 525 km of rural roads and 2 km Urban roads. In coordination with the DTICC and DDC, 21 rural roads with a length of 206 km were identified as making up the district road core network (DRCN), and the remaining 319 km were classified as village roads. The existing DRCN roads link up 24 of the 41 VDC headquarters. Almost all of the DRCN roads are earthen fair-weather roads.

Annual conservation costs are estimated at NPR 63.9 million based on the first year, and will be updated in the AAMP based on actual annual maintenance needs as determined in the annual road condition survey. For the full five-year period the conservation costs will come to NPR 319.5 million. An analysis of the road network identified the need for improvement of all the DRCN roads in order to bring them to a maintainable all-weather standard and provide them with a proper road surface for existing traffic volumes. The required improvements and their estimated costs are listed below.

New construction 110.87 km 879,364,146 1,825,786,052 Total

The available budget for the road sector for the coming five years (fiscal year 2070/71 to 2074/75) is estimated to be NPR 824 million. Allocation to the district road core network was set at 90% of the total road sector budget, which was subsequently allocated firstly to the annual maintenance needs, secondly to the improvement needs and lastly to new construction. This budget is insufficient to cover all the estimated costs of conservation, improvement and new construction. However, it allows all conservation requirements to be covered throughout the DTMP period and 40% improvement works to be completed before the end of the DTMP period. The remaining improvement works will be carried out in the next DTMP. New construction is not possible within this DTMP period and will also be carried out under the next DTMP.

Within the DTMP period 85 km of roads will be gravelled (41%) resulting that length being brought to a maintainable all-weather standard. VDC headquarters with access to all-weather DRCN roads or the SRN will increase from 0 to 12, while the percentage of the district population with such access will increase from 0% to 34%.

1. INTRODUCTION

As a result of the elevation differences, the district has four different types of climate: subtropical up to 1000 m, sub-temperate above 1,000-2,000m, Temperate above 2000- 5000m and Alpine above 5000m . The annual rainfall is about 2,960 mm and temperatures vary from 3 ºC to 30 ºC. Subsistence agriculture farming, mainly small scale livestock is the main source of occupation and livelihood of the majority of the population, with 86% of the population active in this sector. Due to low level of agricultural production, the majority of the households face acute food shortages for a large part of the year.

Figure 1 : Map of Nepal indicating Myagdi district

According to the National Census 2011, the total population of the district is 112,077 comprising 62,043 female (55%) and 50,034 male (45%) residing in 27,727 households. Myagdi district has an average population density of around 49 people per square km. The average family size is 4. Life expectancy of the people is 66 years. The average literacy rate is about 67.39% (60.91% female and 75.42% male are literate). Myagdi district has a multi ethnic composition with Magar, Chhetri, Kami, Chhantyal, Brahman, Sarki, Damai, Thakuri, Newar, Thakali, Gurung and others. The common language using for communication is Nepali and other languages are Magar, Chhantyal, Newar, Thakali and Gurung.

There are numerous district and village roads. From the field study, it has been observed that most of them are in fair weather condition. Most of these roads have been constructed using excavator without proper planning and engineering design.

The study team has found Myagdi district in a relatively better transport situation. This district has an easy surface transport connection with major market and commercial city like Pokhara of Kaski district. Two adjacent districts’ Headquarters Kushma of Parbat and Baglung bazaar of Baglung district are connected by all weather blacktop road with Myagdi. However, most of the rural roads are in poor condition and need to be improved /upgraded for safe and reliable journey.

The district has access to the Pokhara-Baglung Highway. A feeder road, 13 km in length between the district headquarters Beni and Maldhunga of Parbat is recently upgraded to bituminous standard by DOR. The Kaligandaki corridor is under construction and will cross the Myagdi district and links with the Korala of Tibet via Jomsom.

2. DISTRICT ROAD CORE NETWORK (DRCN)

This chapter gives an overview of the existing roads in Myagdi district, distinguishing between strategic roads and rural roads. It goes on to identify those rural roads that make up the district road core network (DRCN) that will form the basis for this DTMP. The remaining rural roads are classified as village roads.

2.1 TOTAL ROAD NETWORK

Myagdi district has an estimated road network of 567 kilometres, including 40 km of strategic roads managed by DoR and 525 km of rural roads and 2 km urban roads managed by Myagdi DDC and the VDCs. A strategic road, Beni-Jomsom and all of the rural roads have an earthen surface. Other strategic road Baglung-Beni has gravel surface and urban road at Beni bazaar has blacktop surface. A map of the total road network in Myagdi district is shown in figure 2 at the end of this chapter.

2.2 NATIONAL HIGHWAYS AND FEEDER ROADS

Myagdi district has no highway but the existing feeder roads are being developed as North South highway (Kaligandaki Corridor) by DoR and will be the part of this highway in future. There are two feeder roads of total 40 km. Baglung-Beni feeder road has gravel surface and Beni-Jomsom feeder road has earthen surface.

2.3 DISTRICT ROAD CORE NETWORK

As part of the preparation of this DTMP, the District Road Core Network (DRCN) was identified together with the DTICC and DDC. This DRCN is the minimum network that allows all VDC headquarters to be connected with the strategic road network and the district headquarters, either directly or through other VDCs. In the selection of the DRCN roads,

3 account was taken of the road conditions and the existing traffic levels. The identified DRCN roads were subsequently provided with road codes according to national standards.

The resulting District Road Core Network in Myagdi district is shown in Figure 3 at the end of this chapter. The DRCN consists of 21 district roads with a total length of 206 km. The remaining 319 km of existing rural roads and 2 km urban road are not considered to be DRCN roads and are classified as village roads and urban road under the responsibility of the VDCs. Almost all DRCN roads are currently earthen roads and are considered fairweather only (Table 2.3.1). A complete list of the DRCN roads and their characteristics is provided in Table 2.3.1.

2.4 VILLAGE ROADS

The 319 km of remaining roads that do not form part of the identified District Road Core Network (DRCN) are classified as village roads and are under the responsibility of the 41 VDCs in Myagdi district. These are roads of a lower importance that do not form the main link between the VDC headquarters and the district headquarters or strategic road network. Instead they provide additional access to other parts of the VDCs.

On average each VDC will thus be responsible for 7.78 km of village roads. It is recommended that the VDCs organise maintenance workers to carry out the emergency and routine/recurrent maintenance of these roads to ensure they remain accessible. Any upgrading or new construction of village roads falls outside the scope of this DTMP and is the responsibility of the VDCs.

Funding for these roads will mainly come from the VDC grants. Some district funding will also be allocated to the village roads. However, this district funding will be mainly for maintenance, especially emergency maintenance and routine/recurrent maintenance to keep the village roads open

3. DISTRICT TRANSPORT PERSPECTIVE PLAN (DTPP)

This chapter looks at the required interventions regarding conservation, improvement and new construction of the district road core network. It provides a complete list of all works required in the DRCN, which together form the District Transport Perspective Plan (DTPP). For the works forming part of the DTPP, chapter 4 will subsequently provide cost estimation, while chapter 5 will rank the works according to priority and chapter 6 will select those priority works that can be carried out in the next 5 years and thus form part of the District Transport Master Plan (DTMP).

3.1 CONSERVATION

Conservation refers to the actions required to repair a road and keep it in good and passable condition. For DTMP planning purposes standard costs per kilometre for each maintenance type are applied to the entire district road core network, whereby for certain maintenance types distinction is made according to the surface type of the road. Identification of the actual maintenance requirements of each road is made annually in the ARMP. Conservation activities include:

1． Emergency maintenance - Basic repairs aimed at removing landslides and repairing damage to the road that inhibit the proper use of the road and make it impassable. This mainly takes place during and after the rainy season. A provisional lump sum is reserved for the entire district road core network based on the network length. Allocation to specific road sections is based on the actual need for clearing landslides or repairing washouts and cuts in the road. 2． Routine maintenance - General maintenance of the road aimed at preventing damage by ensuring the proper working of the different road elements (retaining walls, drainage system, carriageway, etc.) and cutting vegetation. This is carried out each year on a more or less continuous basis. Routine maintenance is required for the entire district road core network. The specific requirements for routine maintenance are determined on an annual basis through the road condition survey and defined in the ARMP. 3． Recurrent maintenance - Repairs of minor damage to the road surface and road structures to bring them back to good condition. This is generally carried out once or twice a year. Recurrent maintenance is required for the entire district road core network, whereby distinction is made according to the surface type. The specific requirements for recurrent maintenance are determined on an annual basis through the road condition survey and defined in the ARMP. 4． Periodic maintenance - Larger repairs to the road largely aimed at renewing the road surface through regravelling, resealing or overlays. It is generally carried out with several years interval. Although periodic maintenance is only required for specific sections of the district road core network, a lump sum allocation is made for the entire district road core network based on average annual requirements, distinguishing between different surface types. The specific periodic maintenance requirements are determined on an annual basis through the annual road condition survey and defined in the ARMP.

The length of roads to be included under each conservation type for the first year is indicated below. This is basically the entire district road core network as far as it does not require rehabilitation.

3.2 IMPROVEMENT

Improvement refers to actions required to improve a road to bring it to a maintainable all- weather standard. It includes the following actions, which for Myagdi are described in more detail in the subsequent sections.

1． Rehabilitation - Significant repairs required to bring a very poor road back to a maintainable standard. This does not include any changes to the original surface type. 2． Gravelling - Placement of a gravel layer to make it all-weather and ensure that the road remains passable during the rainy season. 3． Cross drainage - Placement of suitable cross-drainage structures with the aim of making the road all-weather and ensuring that the road remains passable even during the rainy season 4． Protective structures - Placement of retaining walls and lined side drains to avoid excessive damage to the road during the rainy season and bring it to a maintainable standard. 5． Blacktopping - Placement of a blacktop layer in roads with traffic volumes exceeding 50 passenger car units (PCU) to reduce damage to the road surface. 6． Widening - Increase of the road width in roads with traffic volumes exceeding 500 passenger car units (PCU) to ensure the proper flow of traffic.

3.2.1 REHABILITATION

Two roads are identified for rehabilitation in the district road core network.

3.4 DISTRICT TRANSPORT PERSPECTIVE PLAN

The DTPP foresees bringing the entire existing district road core network to maintainable all- weather status, and expanding it to provide access to an additional 14 VDC headquarters. For this purpose, all 202 km will be gravelled and number of different cross drainage and protective structures will be constructed. A further 111 km of new road will be constructed to maintainable all-weather gravel standard providing access to 14 additional VDC HQs. The district road core network will subsequently consist of 317 km of maintainable all-weather roads. The following table lists the required interventions, while the proposed network is shown in the DTPP map in figure 4.

4. COST ESTIMATION

For the cost estimation, standard costs for the different activities required have been referred. For the conservation activities this results in an estimation of annual costs, while for improvement and new construction activities these results in an estimation of the total costs required.

4.1 CONSERVATION

The costs of the required conservation measures have been calculated using the following standard costs. These standard costs have been applied to the entire district road core network, whereby distinction is made based on the surface type in the case of recurrent and periodic maintenance. It must be noted here that the standard costs for periodic maintenance are the average annual costs, but that the cost for applying periodic maintenance in a specific section every several years will be higher (the cumulative cost of several years). The estimated costs for the first year are presented below, while the costs for subsequent years will vary slightly as road surface types change as a result of improvements. Detailed cost estimations for the actual maintenance needs in any given year will be presented in the AAMP.

Table 4.1.1 Standard unit costs for conservation

Unit cost Activity Unit (NPR/km)

Emergency maintenance km 30,000 Routine maintenance km 20,000 Recurrent maintenance (blacktop) km 500,000 Recurrent maintenance (gravel) km 400,000 Recurrent maintenance (earthen) km 250,000 Periodic maintenance (blacktop) km 200,000 Periodic maintenance (gravel) km 250,000

For the first year the estimated costs for conservation of the DRCN come to NPR 63.9 millions. Based on this cost for the first year, the costs for conservation of the DRCN for the next 5 years are estimated at NPR 319.5 million. These costs will change slightly as the roads are improved and the standard conservation costs change. This will be updated in the ARMP on an annual basis.

5. RANKING

The ranking of the required interventions determine the priority for implementation. This ranking is done separately for conservation, improvement and new construction. Ranking is done according to the cost per person served, whereby the costs are the estimated costs of the previous chapter. Population served is calculated using population data for the VDCs linked by particular road given in Annex 3.

5.1 CONSERVATION

Ranking of roads for conservation is done in basis of total conservation costs per person served by the road. This ranking of roads will be updated each year in the AAMP based on the actual cost estimates for the year concerned. An example ranking is provided in the table below based on standard costs for the first year.

The allocation of maintenance funding will follow a specific sequence indicated below, and will be applied to the road ranking as defined in the ARMP. This is importance and be followed accordingly where fund is insufficient to cover all conservation costs.

1． Emergency maintenance 2． Routine maintenance 3． Recurrent maintenance paved roads 4． Recurrent maintenance gravel roads 5． Recurrent maintenance earthen roads

6． Periodic maintenance blacktop roads 7． Periodic maintenance gravel roads

5.2 IMPROVEMENT

In the case of improvement activities, ranking is again done in the basis of the total cost per person served. The resulting order of the roads is shown in the table below. In the case of roads requiring blacktopping, the improvement of the road has been split into two phases. The first phase includes all improvements to bring the road to a maintainable all-weather standard (gravelling, widening, cross drainage and protective structures), while the second phase only includes the blacktopping. This has been done to avoid unnecessarily delaying the improvement of such roads to all-weather gravel standard due to the additional cost of blacktopping (increasing the cost per person served).

6. DISTRICT TRANSPORT MASTER PLAN (DTMP)

Based upon the prioritized transport linkages and the projected financial plan, first five year District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) indicating the year-wise target has been prepared. Various categories of interventions such as Conservation, Improvement and New construction for roads have been prepared and presented in this report. . 6.1 FIVE YEAR PROJECTED FINANCIAL RESOURCES

Major sources of funding to rural road network development are mainly the DDC development grant, DDC's own resources, DoLIDAR support, GoN’s grant and support from other donor agencies. While preparing the financial plan, current available financial resources from various agencies and assuming 10% annual growth on this was considered and this is then projected for the next five years to prepare the First Five-year Financial Plan as presented in table 6.1.1.

6.2 BUDGET ALLOCATION

Distribution of the available district road sector budget is indicated in the figure below. 90% of the total budget is allocated for the District Road Core Network. Remaining 10% budget can be used by the DDC for the village roads, giving priority to emergency maintenance then routine/recurrent maintenance. Alternatively, this 10% may be used for the new construction of DRCN roads where this is considered a priority by the district. The DRCN budget is primarily allocated to conservation and surplus of this is then allocated to improvement. There is not sufficient budget for improvement of all DRCN of Myagdi so, no budget is remains for new construction.

Based on distribution of the estimated budget, the available annual budget for each intervention type and the resulting district road core network length by surface type can be calculated. The results are shown in the following table. Budget allocation to some roads for improvement is not possible due to the various reasons however, they are ranked on top. These roads are short in length and ended in jungle or river and local people do not use these road sections until they completed. Some roads are linking with earthen road, which is fail to get DTMP budget for improvement, are also not getting DTMP budget because it would be difficult to consider as all weather access if approaching road is remain earthen.

6.3 DTMP OUTPUTS

Based on the investment plan presented above, all DRCN roads will be conserved for the duration of the DTMP period. A further 85 km will be improved to gravel standard. All of these roads will also receive the cross drainage and protective structures required to make them maintainable all-weather roads. Remaining 116 km of earthen roads at the end of the DTMP period will be improved in the next DTMP. Same way new construction will only take place after the existing DRCN roads have been improved to maintainable all weather standard. Some of these roads could be constructed using VDC funding allocated as 10% of total DTMP Budget as per the need of district.

Table 6.3.1 DTMP output

Conservation Improvement gravel Improvement blacktop New construction

206.72 85.14 - -

Out of the total DTMP budget, NRs 398.4 million will be spent on conservation and NRs 343.59 million on improvement. The DTMP budget will spend in entire period of five-year.

6.4 DTMP OUTCOME

As a result of the activities planned in the DTMP, the percentage of all-weather maintainable DRCN roads increases by 43% from 4.73 km to 89.87 km and 57% (116 km) leftovers as fair weather.

Defining the coordinate systems and reprojecting data in ArcGIS

We can define a coordinate system for data using the following options in ArcGIS using the Define Projection tool in the Data Management toolbox. If the data has a coordinate system definition, but it does not match the typical coordinate system used by an organization, we can reproject the data using the Project tool in the Data Management toolbox. We need to use the corresponding projection parameters while defining the coordinate system or reprojecting the data.
