SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Gujarat is one of the most developed states of India. The state is endowed with vast reserves of mineral and characterized by high industrialization. It features high rate of GDP growth and contributes almost 20% to India’s overall industrial output. Power, construction and trade contribute a major share to the prosperity of the state. A Gujarat stand 5th is the contribution towards the total GDP of the nation. Gujarat, with its mission to make itself a vibrant place to live and work, has been implementing several structural reforms in the recent past. With its growing industrialization, presently, the state is all set to achieve an exponential growth curve. To facilitate such economic growth, increasing needs of the people for better quality of life and to cater the burgeoning trade through the hinterland, the state has also drawn an infrastructure road map and intends to develop a world class infrastructure to sustain the rapid pace of economic growth. Gujarat has experienced a rapid rate of urbanization in last four decades. There are 8 municipal corporations and 8 Urban Development Authorities within the state of Gujarat. Looking at its growth rate and rapid expansion, there is a pressing need to reconsider and redirect the development and growth patterns in the next decade. Navsari, one of the oldest cities of Gujarat, has an inspiring history of over 2000 years. According to the Greek historical writings, a celebrated Egyptian astronomer and geographer named Ptolemy mentioned Navsari's port in his book written about 150 A.D. The geographic location he showed as Narispa, is in fact the Navsari of today. The origin of the name "Navsari" has a very fascinating history. In the past, the city of Navsari has been associated with many names such as Nag Vardhana, Nag Shahi, Nag Sarika, Nag Mandal, Nav Sarika and Nav Sareh. Some of the legends associated with the various names of Navsari are as follows: Shayashray Shiladitya, who ruled over Navsari in the seventh century named this city NAG VARDHANA in honor of his Guru Nag Vardhana. During the same period, the name changed to NAV SARIKA as is evidenced by a recovered copper plate dated 669 A.D. The legend is that Shayashray Shiladttya presented a copper plate to a priest in his town. The copper plate read that Shiladitya, the ruler of "Nav Sarika," had bestowed a nearby village upon this priest of the Kashyapclan. After subduing the rest of Gujarat, Umayyad conquerors were repulsed in the vicinity of Navsari in 120-21 AH/738-39 AD. Another recovered copper plate dated 821 A.D. implies that the city's name later changed into NAG SARIKA. The copper plate indicates that a Rashtrakut king named Kark Suvarna Varsh gave "Nag Sarika" as a gift to his teacher named AparaJeet, pupil of Sumati kaharishi, who in turn was a pupil of the famous Digambar Jain teacher Acharya Mallavadi. There is a popular 9

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039 legend behind the name "Nag Sarika." Fables suggest that there was a big pipal tree on the bank of a pond in the city. A huge Cobra lived in a hollow of this tree. On this same tree, Sarika _ a singing bird _ had her nest. As they resided in the same place, both became friends. Everyday Sarika entertained the Cobra by singing her melodious tunes. The legends have it that due to this remarkable friendship between the Nag (Cobra) and the Sarika (singing bird), the city's name became popular as NAG SARIKA. Another legend of the Nag talks about the origins of a different name for the city: NAG SHAHI. Historically, a Nag (Black Cobra) temple was situated next to a talav (pond) in the city. People worshiped the Black Cobra for its power and Prowess. Although the pond (talav) does not exist anymore, the historical Nag Temple still exists in the area known as "Nag Talavdi" today. Hence the city came to be known as NAG SHAHI, which means the power and prowess of the Black Cobra. According to the Parsi tradition, in 1142 A.D., when they first came to Navsari, the city was named as NAG MANDAL. The Parsis found the city's atmosphere to that of Sari region of Iran. In the Persian language, "now" means new and "Sari" refers to the region in Iran. Hence, the name NAOO SARI came into being. The Fourteenth century marked the beginning of Muslim rule in Gujarat. Navsari came under the Muslim rule in the late sixteenth century when its name was changed to NAV SAREH. The anecdote is that according to the Muslim tradition, there were nine "Sarchs" of Muslims in the city and hence the name was derived as NAV (Nine) SAREH (Sarchs). The above changes in names show that Navsari, like any other city, has passed through many vicissitudes in the matter of political reign. About fourteen hundred years ago, the kings of the Chalukya Dynasty governed the region of Navsari. Later on, the Parsis, who migrated from Iran, virtually ruled this small town. The reign of the Parsis ended as the Muslim rulers took over. For the last one hundred years, until India's independence in 1947, Navsari was the property of the Gaekwads of Baroda.

1.2 Regional Context Navsari is located at 20.95°N 72.93°E. It has an average elevation of 9m (29') above sea level. The city is located in southern Gujarat and is situated near the Purna River, within a few kilometers of the river's delta, which is west of the city and empties into the Gulf of Khambhat. Navsari is strategically located on the Golden Corridor, immediately at the south of Surat, forming a pivotal place and part of Surat-Navsari Twin City Region. The city is well connected not only to major towns within the state but also to neighboring states through moderate transportation linkages all by rail, and road.

SECTION 2: METHODOLOGY & APPROACH 2.1 Introduction The methodology and approach followed in the process of preparation of a development plan plays a significant role to produce an efficient and high quality plan. Moreover the methodology and approach undertaken support the achievement of the aims and objectives of the plan. This chapter talks about the Development Plan & its purposes and gives the complete methodology adopted for preparation of development plan. It details out the four phases in the process of preparation of development plan and presents the objectives formulated for development plan. 2.2 Development Plan and its Purpose Development plan is a medium term comprehensive plan of spatial-economic development of the urban center. Revised Development plan for Navsari shall indicate the manner in which the use of land in the area covered by it shall be regulated and the manner in which the development therein shall be carried out. The Draft Revised Development Plan is to be prepared considering various demands of projected population for the next 10 years of the entire urban development area. The existing land use, circulation pattern, development potentiality of the land etc., are to be considered while deciding future proposals. Proper distribution of the residential, industrial, commercial zone, as well as open and recreational spaces is to be suggested to evolve overall urban form for entire NUDA area for the year 2039. 2.3 Development Plan Process Below diagram highlights the basic steps undertaken for the preparation of the draft development plan. The detailed process is explained in the following sub-section. The first step in the methodological framework includes collecting data from different sources, primary surveys if required and then analyzing it to extract inferences from the same.

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

The Sanctioned Development Plan-2011 was the first revision of the Principal Development Plan. A review of the sanctioned development plan not only provides the analysis of the level of development achieved in the decade as against proposed but also the requirement of revising the proposals and policies for the better implementation of the Development Plan. The next important aspect of the Development Plan is public participation to represent views and concerns of a wide cross-section of the society, based on which the goals, aims and objectives are formulated for the Development Plan 2039. The final stage in preparation of the Draft Development Plan is the formation of the policies and proposals; this is done by accessing the gaps and deriving the demands for future. This involves the proposals for land use zoning, urban services both physical and social and policies in terms of the General Development Regulations for controlling the developmental activities within the Authority area. With the completion of the preparation of the Development Plan the next step is the publication of the Development Plan in the official gazette of the Government of Gujarat and inviting of objections and suggestions. The actual process of preparing the development plan involves many overlaps between the key steps and activities mentioned above.

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

2.4 Development plan Preparation Methodology Chart 1 Development Plan Process

The methodology of preparing the development plan involves numerous activities, many of which overlap and are carried out simultaneously. The methodology of Development Plan can be divided into four phases as per the type of activities having almost similar characteristics carried out in that particular phase. The First phase of the development plan includes data collection, review of the earlier Sanctioned Development Plans, Initiation of the Public consultations and preparation of the Base Map. These activities get initiated in the initial phase of the Development Plan and form the base for the preparation of the Development Plan. The data collection includes data from the

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039 primary sources such as surveys through questionnaires or pre designed formats and also through secondary sources, this also includes collection of material for literature review such as volumes of development Plan including General Development Regulations from different Authorities. Also data from different Govt. and Semi Govt. agencies is collected. As for the Base Map preparation the initiation began with the transformation of the Sanctioned Development Plan in GIS format. The phase also included the initiation of the Public consultations and finalization of the working groups for detailed discussion. The Second phase includes the analysis of the data collected mentioned in the phase I. With the progress of the review of the past development Plan, existing land use, infrastructural services and the General Development Regulations (GDCR) is done. Collection of the revenue maps from District Inspector of Land Records (DILR) and collection of the city survey maps from Superintendent of City Survey. The public consultations are a continuous process and progresses with the development plan as per the stage of the development plan, but for the consultations that are already conducted are analyzed and inferences are drawn from the same. The Third phase involves the assessment of the present gap calculation of the future demand for physical and social infrastructure and also the land requirement for the projected population of year 2031 and 2039. Another simultaneous activity in the third phase is the formation vision and based on public consultations. As for the Base Map preparation the integration of the maps and removal of the error is undertaken and the base map is ready for final checking and validation. The Fourth phase covers the identification of projects based on the sectorial mission statements derived from the vision Statement formed through Stake holding consultations for implementation for the targeted years of 2031 and 2039. Zoning proposal for the years of 2031 and 2039 based on the requirement of the land derived from the projected population and based on the zoning proposals the formation of General Development efficient implementation of the Development Plan. With the completion of the activities of the Development Plan the same is published in the official gazette of the State Government and suggestions and objections are requested. Having considered the suggestions and objections the improved Revised Draft Development Plan is then submitted to the State Government for final sanction. The following flowchart explains the process of preparation of the draft development plan, highlighting the overlap between the different activities.

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

2.5 Approach The Approach to the preparation of the Development Plan finalized considering different aspects that would be the cause to the improved quality of the Development Plan. For the development under revision there are three approaches that are considered.

1. Public consultations: The revised Development Plan is a document for the people and cannot be prepared behind closed doors the involvement of the people is very necessary i.e. a democratic approach is required and thus the first approach towards the 1st Draft Revised Development Plan is the through Public consultations. Extensive public consultations are carried out at different stages of the Development Plan. A wide cross-section of the society is represented through numerous interviews and workshops. The inputs from the consultations are studied and reviewed in detail, vision and objectives to fulfill the vision are formulated based on the inferences from the stake holdings. Nine working groups, formed by experts from individual fields focusing on key areas are formed. Stage wise consultation with the Working Groups has led to the formulation of final policy and proposals.

2. GIS based approach: The Development Plan prepared for the area of Navsari Urban Development Authority is a huge document in terms of the data collected, analyzed and the proposals formed. There is a need for a robust system that is capable of handling such data at the same time carry out timely analysis to obtain desired results. The systems used are open ended and allow future improvement as well as addition and deduction of data from the data base at any point of time. Thus an approach to prepare the Development Plan in a GIS environment is an approach considered for preparing the 1st Draft Development Plan for the year 2039.

3. Land use transport integration: Regulating use and development of land is an important component of the Development Plan. But this must not be done without considering the transportation and infrastructure network. Coordination between land use and transportation is crucial to improve the mobility and quality of life within the city. The Mobility Plan for Navsari was prepared to assess the existing transportation scenario and to identify the option for future improvements and expansion of transportation network. The appropriate recommendations of the mobility plan are integrated with the second revised Development Plan in form of various projects and proposals.

SECTION 3: BASE MAP PREPARTION 3.1 Introduction In preparation of Development Plan a Base Map plays an important role in defining the jurisdiction of different administrative boundaries within the defined area. It also helps in the realization of the land use plans, and also in the communication about what information is to be communicated through the geographical space or land parcels. The base map also forms the foundation on which the new proposals are based for the development of the city. The base map also facilitates the display of different information that is collected and analyzed as a part of the Development Plan preparation. This chapter talks about the newly adopted process for preparing a robust, detailed GIS Based map for the entire NUDA region.

3.2 Previous Base Map In the past DP, the final output of the DP was carried out on hand-made maps which were later converted into CAD format. This restricted the maps to be effective layre produced at various scales. Certain analyses such as land suitability, environmental analysis, etc. were carried out in a limited GIS environment and the results were considered while preparing the DP. After the Sanction of the Development plan in 1988, it was felt that there should be continuous revision for road variations, zone variations etc. The areas zoned as ‘urbaniseable’ were consistently developed under Town Planning Schemes and various urban services such as road, water, sewerage; storm water drainage, street lights etc. were planned and implemented in those areas. Simultaneously, the total area under the jurisdiction of NADA converted to NUDA increased encompassing 71.36 sq. km. Some of the limitations faced as a result of all these issues are assisted below:

• Hand-made maps cannot be reproduced quickly and effectively • The data built in CAD format is highly static and building multiple layers of dataset is cumbersome. • Quick analysis and representation at various spatial scales other than the scale at which the data was built is impossible • Data monitoring, rectification and updating requires more time and manpower. The need arose for a system where in it would be easy to model this dynamics of an ever changing urban scenario. It was thus envisaged for this DP that the system to be built should be • Robust and can handle huge data sets able to overlap most of the data which comes from several departments in several formats. • Able to carry out complex analysis which stems from the vision of this project. • Able to easily incorporate any future updates and modifications in the database. 27

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

• Able to meet the data visualization requirements of various stakeholders and produce very high quality maps. 3.3 Mapping through NUIS Guidelines The mapping done by NUDA for the preparation of the Development Plan is based on the guidelines provided by the Nation Urban Information System (NUIS). The major objectives of NUIS Standards are to design, organize and demonstrate an information system to support urban planning in the country. The objectives of these are as follows: • To identify the volume of data and parameters required for urban planning, frequency of updating, level of redundancy, level of compilation and nature of processing at different hierarchical levels of urban planning. • To standardize the classification system for various thematic layers required for different levels of urban planning. • To design a comprehensive urban information system, useful to meet the needs of various hierarchical levels of urban planning viz. perspective, development and zonal (TP Schemes) plan exercises. • To design a comprehensive spatial database as a link for urban planning and management. 3.4 Process Followed For Creation of New Base Map Thus keeping all these requirements, NUDA decision of introducing the use of Geographical Information System (GIS) for preparation of the Development Plan. The GIS System can be defined as: Package specifically designed for use with geographic data that performs a comprehensive range of data handling tasks. These tasks include data input, storage, retrieval and output, in addition to a wide variety of descriptive and analytical processes. The first stage in the entire process was to gather all the village and ward maps that would come together in the end to form one single base map. The next step was to convert all the maps to one single digital format which was then geo-referenced. The next steps included putting together all the parts into one complete whole, error identification and rectification, and to start attaching layers of different types of information. In all, all the TP area, non TP area and the newly added area maps were digitized, geo- referenced and put together to form the final base map. A complete list of data layers attached to the base map is provided at the end of this subsection.

3.5 Advantages of the Updated Base Map The city is a dynamic system where interventions from natural and man-made entities such as government and private are continuously happening. The challenge is to integrate the various

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039 environmental parameters; stakeholders’ aspirations etc. and come to an optimum decision so that it creates a win-win solution for everyone without harming the environment in the long run. Taking this process into consideration NUDA has built a spatial decision support system. The information relating to the preparation of the Base Map was collected from various sources. The dataset was then prepared in Geographical Information System (GIS). GIS greatly facilitates the use of the generated datasets for conducting basic and complex analyses. Undertaking these analyses in earlier digital formats (CAD) would have required much more time and effort. Key features of the GIS format base map: • Single comprehensive database containing all kinds of datasets within • Data from various departments and organizations can be attached easily to the base map. As a result coordination with other departments becomes efficient and less time consuming • Any spatial as well as statistical data analysis is more accurately done in GIS • Basic analyses can be done very quickly • Complex analyses are possible between the different datasets • Multiple layers of information can be built over time on the base map and these can be analyzed and updated regularly. • High resolution maps, informative charts and graphs can be prepared quickly and easily for representation of data. • The new updated base map can be made publicly accessible for viewing purposes through the internet. The current format will make this process more users friendly for the common man to use.

SECTION 4: REVIEW OF EARLIER DEVELOPMENT PLANS 4.1 Introduction Before framing the policies and proposals of the First Draft Development Plan of NUDA, it would be essential to review the goals, policies and proposals of the sanctioned Development Plan of Navsari 2008 so that achievements made and the shortfalls observed could be considered while framing the proposals of the Development Plan of NUDA 2039. It also analyzes in detail the projects and implementation of the projects and proposals of sanctioned Development Plan in the past decade.

4.2 Review of Aims and Objectives of the Sanctioned Development Plan The past development plan identified aims and objectives that focused on various aspects such as creating good environment, providing effective infrastructure, compact development, augmentation of financial resources, coordination of various developmental activities etc. In the past decade significant work has been done towards achieving these aims and objectives. Below is an assessment of the work and the projects that have taken place since 2008. 1. To create a good environment and to minimize the environmental pollution with green spaces, open space sand places of public activities and recreation. Various efforts have been taken in past decade to minimize the environmental pollution, to provide adequate green spaces and open spaces and to provide facilities for recreation. Various projects and proposals that may be or may not be included in Sanctioned DP 2008 were implemented for this purpose. Below is the assessment of these projects.

To provide for the comprehensive developed area for residential, industrial, commercial and recreational uses required for the city with public support and active involvement. The Development Plan is implemented through the mechanism of Town Planning Schemes, as per the sanctioned Development Plan 2004 the total zoned area i.e. 8.55 Sq.km. was covered under the Navsari Urban Complex, this zoned area comprised of different land uses such as Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Recreational uses. Town Planning schemes were initiated for all these zones, as a procedure the town planning scheme is prepared in a democratic manner and the inputs in terms of objections and suggestions from the owners and the affected people are taken multiple times.

Optimum use of land for compact urban development of the city. In the past Development plan it was proposed to have a compact urban development of Navsari, so as to have the maximum utilization of the infrastructure and amenities and to reduce the travel distance within the city by reducing the sprawl of the city. In 2001 Rajkot, Surat and Vadodara had 5.5, 6.8 and 4.6 million population. When compared to these cities of approximately same scale, the sprawl of Navsari over time is much less than other three cities. It can be seen from the image above that Navsari shows comparatively compact development. 6. To encourage and control the developmental activities in accordance and in harmony with the development plan proposals which may promote healthy city development. Development in the city should take place as per the zoning regulations in the development plan. This can be implemented through the GDCR. It involves three steps namely commencement certificate, progress certificate and building use certificate. This three step process is enforced to control the developmental activities in accordance and in harmony with the development plan proposals which may promote healthy city development. 7. Mobilizing the land resource by virtue of the various planning proposals under the provisions of the Act which can generate the required finance for the implementation of the development plan including the T.P. Schemes. 8. To augment the financial resources as may be created by the proposals of the Development Plan. These aims and objectives were basically fulfilled through the betterment charges and the sale for residential, commercial and industrial component levied in the town planning schemes. 9. To implement the various proposals by the various T.P. Schemes at appropriate time for appropriate areas as the T.P. Scheme has proved to be a sound and effective model for Urban Development at Micro Level Planning. As mentioned above, in the Sanctioned DP-1988, it was expected that various infrastructure and recreational facilities would be developed through TP Schemes. 33

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

10. To tap the potential of private entrepreneurship with its positive involvement in an appropriate manner which may boost up the city development process in addition to the efforts of Government and Semi-government Organization in their respective field. 11. To have a realistic approach in the context of statutory provisions and the financial, administrative and managerial capabilities of NUDA. The budget of NUDA is also effective to the implementation of Sanctioned Development Plan can make possible due to the realistic approach. Implementation of several projects by NUDA in the past decade is done through the mechanism of TP Schemes. Some infrastructural projects implemented by NUDA were funded under the JnNURM project, the funding mechanism included considerable share through JnNURM rest to be borne by State Government and Local Authority. The share of NUDA was managed from the funding through different sources as income from Better and Amenity charges, FSI on Payment, Development Charges and Sale of Residential and Commercial plot the statutory provisions under which NUDA performs were very well observed wisely utilizing its financial, administrative and managerial capabilities to follow a realistic approach to implement its projects. 4.3 Commercial projects and their implementation Along the Surat – Mumbai Railway line and in the city there are few areas has been designated for commercial zone in development plan 2008.

SECTION 5: DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS 5.1 Introduction Study of population and demographic trends is crucial to understand the character of a city and its needs and demands for housing, amenities, infrastructure etc. It helps to explain the current urban conditions and to derive the future directions for planning and managing the city’s growth and development. This chapter reviews the population trends over past decades and demographic patterns that influence the urban conditions in Navsari region. The demographic assessment provides a snapshot of working population, literacy rates, sex ratio, household size, population growth rates, migration rates etc. Table 16 Demographic Report 1 Total Area 18.04 Sq.km Demographic Information 2011 Population Related December 2015 End Information Male Female Total Male Female Total 2 Number of Family - - 38477 - - - 3 Number of Voters 52663 49920 102583 54901 52042 106943 4 Total Population 82925 77205 160130 87270 81251 168521 5 People of 0-6 Age Group 9246 8094 17340 9708 8499 18207 6 Population of Scheduled Cast 4286 4028 8314 4511 4239 8750 7 Population of Scheduled Tribes 12995 13164 2615 13667 13845 27512 8 Literate Population 36741 26084 62825 38710 27482 66192 9 Main Workers 50274 12500 62774 52481 13049 65530 10 Number of Farmers ------11 Agriculture Labors 1321 858 2179 1377 894 2271 12 Number of Workers In Cottage 15057 912 15989 15209 1002 16211 Industry 13 Other Workers 2390 367 2757 2413 403 2816 14 Marginal Workers 589 102 691 647 112 759 15 Non Workers 36649 68469 105118 37015 29153 106168 Details Of Building Pucca House Kachcha House Total 16 Ownership 65351 - 65351 17 Rental 7595 - 7595 18 Others - Total 72946 - 72946 19 No. of Household Exempted From Tax. 124 20 Total Assessment For The Year. 3081325 21 Revenue Generated Against Assessment. 37297348 (Source: NUDA)

5.2 Population 5.2.1 Existing Population Navsari Urban Development Authority (NUDA) consists of one district – Navsari. The total area of NUDA, which is 71.36 sq.km, consists of Navsari Municipality and Navsari Urban Development Authority (NUDA). The population for Navsari Municipality, NUDA has been tabulated as follows.

Table 17 Administrative Boundary -2011 Population Detail No Administrative zone Population(Lakhs) %of Total Population 1 Navsari Municipality 160130 50 % (Including Jalalpore Village) 2 Vijalpore Municipality 81245 26 % 3 Navsari Rural Villages 66405 21 % 4 Jalalpore Rural Villages 8819 3 % TOTAL 316599 100 % (Source: Census 2011) In 2011 India’s population was 121 Crore of which 6.04 Crore resided in Gujarat state. The population in NUDA area in 2011 was 3.16 lakh people, about 0.54 % of the total state population. There is a high concentration of population within Navsari Municipality. Almost 60% of the total population of NUDA resides within these urbanized areas. NUDA rural areas have less population. Table 6 shows decadal change in population between 1991 and 2011 by administrative units (wards and villages). As can be seen from the table, the change in population in Navsari Municipality is much higher than the rest of NUDA. Some areas within Navsari Municipality show a significant increase in population when compared to the rest of the city.

This ratio is calculated as total number of females per 1,000 males. The sex ratio in Navsari, according to the 2011 Census has been 961 females per 1000 males, which is higher compared to the sex ratio at the state level of 918 and national level sex ratio of 940.

SECTION 6: PHYSIOGRAPHY AND LAND SUITABILITY 6.1 Introduction Identification of land suitable for development is critical for preparing the development plan for Navsari region. There are many different natural and man-made factors that impact the development suitability of land. This chapter deals with the study of several aspects of physiographic such as soil type, ground water prospect, cropping pattern etc., a detailed analysis to delineate land available for development is carried out and finally the methodology for land suitability analysis. Table 27 Administration of NUDA No. Administrative Area Area(Sq.km) 1 Navsari Municipality 18.04 2 Vijalpore Municipality 03.67 3 NUDA (Excluding Municipalities) 49.65 Total 71.36

6.2 Land use-land cover analysis 6.2.1 Land Cover Information on land use - land cover pattern, especially the extent and spatial distribution of the same is important for the preparation of the prospective Development Plan. The land use - land cover information helps in formulation of policies for urban development. Using the classification system and employing both visual and digital analysis techniques and with limited field checks, the urban land use/land cover maps were prepared for the entire NUDA region. Later these maps were digitized and integrated with the spatial framework of NUDA area.

Agriculture: Agriculture is the predominant land use outside the Navsari Municipality area. The area under agricultural land is 2868.11 HA according to existing land use survey and it holds 41.18 % of the total study area. The agricultural land comprises of Crop Land, Fallow Land and Plantations. It is observed from the satellite data that a large part of the eastern area is under Ravi crops indicating the availability of irrigation water. On the contrary, the agriculture land in the Figure 9 Agricultural Scenario Western area from is fallow land which is an indication of the lack of irrigational facilities. Another major problem associated with this area is Salinity. Thus this region is dependent on rain fed crops only. The agricultural land has been further categorized into crop land, fallow and plantations.

SECTION 7: LAND CLASSIFICATION & DELINEATION OF DEVELOPABLE AREA A land suitability assessment is a planning tool for the design of a land use pattern that prevents environmental conflicts through the Segregation of competing land uses. It is a decision problem under multiple criteria and multiple objectives that, when adapted into GIS, produces a land use pattern that minimizes conflict and maximizes consensus among the stakeholders Considering the constraints, the land available for development is very limited, to identify the land having developable potential, the land under constraints is first identified and segregated and residual land available is the land having development potential. The constraints that restrict the development of land are listed below. Constraints to Development ▪ Legislative (areas governed by Court Interventions, Ecologically Sensitive, Acts) ▪ Non Negotiable (Physical Features, Manmade or Natural) ▪ Non Desirable (Hazard Prone, Prime Agricultural Land)

7.1 Legislative Constraints River and water bodies: Areas under Rivers, Canals and water bodies, 9 to 15 m buffer around to preserve the natural character, development is totally restricted. 7.2 Non Negotiable Constraints Road Network Map: Areas under existing road network including National Highway, Bypass Road, State Highway, and Major District Road with their Building Control Lines cannot be utilized for development as considered non urbanized area.

Rail Network: Areas under existing Railway tracks and railway station areas are not considered for the development work other than that of Railway’s requirements.

7.3 Non Desirable Guidelines Double cropped Area: Areas having better irrigation facilities and good soil character, yield maximum i.e. twice in a year are known as Double Crop Areas. These areas are the pioneer to agriculture product and should be preserved for agricultural use by restricting development proposals.

Flood hazard area: Low lying and marshy areas near water bodies having the possibility of being flooded and unsafe for human lives are considered as ‘Flood Hazard zones’ which are restricted for development for human habitation and not considered for urbanization.

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

7.4 Land Available for Development After considering and calculating land falling under the Legislative and Non-negotiable we have 71.36 sq.km area is available for development which includes Agriculture land, Fellow Land, Open Spaces etc. As per existing survey of 2019, it is found that 0.40 sq.km agriculture land is available for development. In a same way we have 0.13 sq.km fellow land and 0.97 sq.km government open space is available for development. 7.5 Observations and Issues Soil Characteristics ▪ Observation: Most of the NUDA land is deep Black Clayey soil which is not very favorable for construction purpose. Topography: ▪ Observation: Very gentle or flat topography of Navsari city is favorable for the development.

SECTION 8: LAND USE, ZONING AND BUILT FLOOR SPACE 8.1 Introduction Development is one of the basic indicators of growth. Over the past decades the urban area of Navsari has grown significantly and a large amount of land has come under development. Within NUDA area this development is regulated by zoning regulation provided in the sanctioned Development Plan. This chapter provides an assessment of land area within various zones, existing land uses, and built floor space within various zones. The different analyses and the relevant inferences should help to identify availability of land and floor space for future development. 8.2 Zoning under Development Plan 2008 8.2.1 Existing zoning and development within zoned area In the Development Plan-2008 of NUDA region, following considerations were taken into account, while preparation. 1. Existing Population and its forecasting. 2. Calculation for requirement of Recreation places of garden, playgrounds, shopping centers etc. 3. Existing infrastructure facilities and their faults 4. Requirement of new roads and other transportation facilities for future population 5. Requirement of Residential zone and job facilities for future population 6. Steps for taking advantage of natural conditions and sceneries 7. Steps for creation of facilities of higher education for adjoining villages and their development. By taking above consideration and requirement of future population into account, following types of zoning were required. 1. Residential Zone 2. Commercial Zone 3. Industrial Zone 4. Agricultural Zone 5. Gamtal Area The Sanctioned Development Plan covered an area of 854 HA of which 21 HA. of area is covered under purely agriculture, 8.41 HA. for Recreation, 41.80 HA. for Public Purpose, 7.76 HA. for Water bodies and 80.30 HA. for Roads. Whereas 548.87 HA. of area is covered under other zoning. Out of all zones identified in the plan, three major zones are the most critical for regulating development within the planned area. These are: Residential Zone, Commercial Zone and Industrial Zone. In addition to these, the Gamtal and Walled City

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

zones are critical for regulating development within the old core area. Following Table shows total area covered under each zone.

This would have been a major decision for constituting the Navsari Urban Development Authority very recently. 8.2.3 Undeveloped/Agriculture Area in NUDA Region While planning for future development it is important to understand the availability of land within existing zoned area and its development potentials. The table below shows available undeveloped land in NUDA. Although it cannot be assumed that all of this land will be developed in future, this assessment helps to provide an understanding of remaining development potential within currently zoned area.

8.3 Existing Land Use ‘Land use’ is identification of use or activity on a land parcel. Land use classification system identifies activities taking place on land parcels in various categories such as residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, utilities, road, open spaces, vacant land etc. Traditionally almost all previous Development Plans have included land use maps and land use assessment. However, due to various limitations these maps remained coarse and highly generalized. Realizing the importance of detailed mapping for accurate assessment, NUDA has developed a new GIS based land use classification system. Analysis included in this section (and used throughout this Development Plan) uses this new, highly detailed GIS based map to assess: ▪ Actual land use patterns throughout the NUDA region ▪ Land use distribution in various zones ▪ Amount of developed and undeveloped land within various zones and in various administrative areas ▪ Permissible floor space and utilized floor space

8.3.1 Preparation of land use map Need for developing land use map Need for developing land use map: A land use map is presentation of various uses happening within the given area. Land use map helps to study and analyze trend of land use pattern of the city. Actual area under various uses and location information is the outcome of the land use map. It explains qualitative and quantitative aspects of the developed land. By studying existing level of development the projected scenario could be visualized and built.

Methodology for preparing the land use map Developing existing land use survey which is carried out to the scale of survey numbers in the revenue areas and up to the scale of final / sub plots in the town planning scheme areas along with secondary data from various authorities and sources. The collected data need to be imposed on updated road and plot map along with natural features final land use map. After the commencement of the development plan, one of the important tasks for the Authority was to undertake the land use survey for the total 101.48 Sq.km which was declared as Navsari Urban Development Authority area. A strategy was worked out summarized below: 1. Preparation of formats for Land use survey based on UDPFI and NUIS Guidelines. 2. Formation of Teams for land use survey by Navsari Municipality and NUDA for their respective areas. 3. Allocation of land parcels in terms of maps for filling up of the land use details both in Revenue areas and TP Scheme areas. 4. Collection of Data from various departments such as Indian Railways, National Highway Authority of India, State Road and Building Departments, Department of Industries and Mines, Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation (DFCC), Industrial 61

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

Extension Bureau (Ind. Ext. B), District Collector’s Office, Gujarat Urban Development Corporation, Department of Irrigation, and Sardar Sarovar Nigam Limited etc. 5. Conversion of above mentioned data on maps into GIS (Geographic Information Systems), for data from various departments of Government and the land use survey results both into TP schemes and revenue areas. 6. Generation of final land use maps and preparation of Land use tables. 8.4 Existing land use patterns and analysis To analyze existing land use pattern of the city, maps of individual uses have been prepared. The Individual maps show concentration of the particular land use in different locations or different zones.

Figure 26 Existing Land use NUDA-2019 8.5 Observations and Issues Residential Land Use There is considerable variation in residential typologies in city depending upon the area consumption, density, design of the building, height of the building, age of the structure, etc.

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

Majority of residential development on the west side is includes high rises, low rise low density bungalows and low rise multifamily tenements. While as walled city, dense chawls and compact slums, whereas located in central part of the city. Distribution by Administrative Areas: In overall NUDA area it in 2019, there is 7136.96 HA land is presence in 2019 and including 252.52 HA land as a Gamtal area. From the record we can say that 3.54 % Land as a Gamtal and 21.12% purely residential land in NUDA -2019.

Figure 27 Residential Break Up-2019 Commercial Land Use City of Navsari shows a variety of commercial typologies. These uses can be broadly categorized in three categories (1) Small Scale Commercial, such as shops or small stores, (2) Medium Scale Commercial, such as shopping centers or commercial strips and (3) Large Scale Commercial, such as malls with retails stores, theatres, entertainment centers etc. In a year of 2019 there are 105.34 Ha land is presence in commercial zone which covers 1.48 % of total area of NUDA. A majority of commercial uses in Navsari fall under Mixed Commercial and Retail shopping, which includes the Small Scale Commercial uses and Medium Scale shopping centers. The small scale commercial uses are generally located along almost all major and minor arterials. Commercial uses in Walled City are also characterized by rows of mixed small scale shops along main streets. It is worth noting that most of the area within Navsari Municipality has been developed. Four T.P. Schemes have been prepared, sanctioned and implemented within Navsari Municipality, and as of now this entire area of T.P. Schemes also fall under Gamtal, forcing high density development within this area. Lunsikui being one of the posh area along, with other such area near Fuwara, Gandevi Road, Station Road, Tower Road, etc. the area near new Collector Office is characterized with commercial/ institutional development on road side, and residential development in the rest of the part of road. 64

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

Medium scale commercial, generally identifiable as shopping centers, are found along major arterial streets. Large scale commercial includes Shops, complexes with cinema theatres, office complexes and business parks. Though Shops and Cinema theatres occupy a place of total area under commercial, they are significant landmarks of the city generally located along major arterial roads and at important nodes along Surat road, Gandevi road, Dandi road and Kharel road, large office complexes along the Bypass Road may be the major employment generating commercial typology.

Industrial Land Use A GIDC is located in the south-east side of the city and medium to large industries are located in this area. Such industries are also over-spills towards National Highway. A significant number of manufacturing industries are located on the south and eastern side along the Navsari-Surat highway, Navsari-Gandevi Road. At present more than 176.95 HA area is available which covers 2.48 % area of total land within NUDA area. Navsari Municipality is located in the eastern part of the city. Some of this includes machinery and manufacturing industries. On the northern side GIDC is available in a city and major small scale industries are available like brick kiln, stone quarry etc. Gardens, Parks and Open Spaces and Public Amenities and Utilities: There are many small and big gardens exist in Navsari city, namely Station garden, Jubilie garden, Shirvai Park, Tata garden and Nehru garden. Jubilie garden is one of the oldest garden. There is a big playground for sport and entertainment purpose is available in Navsari city, namely ‘Lunsikui’. Also playgrounds of Schools are used for sports activities. There are mainly four gardens and three playgrounds available in NUDA region. 8.5 Observations and Issues Available undeveloped Land in Zoned Areas ▪ Observation: Out of total 71.36 sq.km area of NUDA. From over all area of NUDA, we have open area of approx. 40.85 Sq.km land is available for development. Development outside the zoned areas ▪ Observation: In the past decade, significant development has occurred in the newly added areas within the NUDA area. These peripheral areas did not have a proper regulatory authority before they were added to NUDA and have had haphazard development. Spatial Building/Land use Typologies ▪ Observation: Presently, there exists a difference in residential typologies on eastern side of the National Highway. The Eastern side is characterized by low rise and informal housing, high rise, midrise; bungalow etc.

SECTION: 9 ROADS AND TRANSPORTATION 9.1 Introduction Navsari is well connected to rest of the country by Road, and Rail. The transportation system of the city is predominantly dependent on roadway system. The vehicular growth has been rapid and there is a strong need to control the increasing traffic congestion. This chapter provides an overview of the existing transportation system in terms of road network, public transport, pedestrian and non-motorized transport facilities, parking, and signage and way finding, vehicular growth and assessing the existing scenario of land use transportation integration in the city. Planning the traffic and transportation systems in Navsari city involves interacting with several agencies including the Municipal Corporation, National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), Public Works Department (PWD), State Highways, Indian Railways, interstate bus operators, and private bus operators. Navsari Municipality is vested with the development and maintenance of the road network, traffic management, public transportation, management of truck operations, etc. 9.2 Road Network and Condition NUDA region is one of the major education hub of the south Gujarat region. It is also the part of “Golden Corridor”. The region has also been connected to the major industrial town like Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Bharuch, Vapi, Valsad and Mumbai through NH, SH and railway. Navsari has also the historical importance because of Dandi Beach. There are two sea-shores present in our region 1.Dandi and 2. Umbharat. National Highway is also passing through NUDA region. Surat Airport is the nearest airport of the area. The entire road network covered 4.34% of total area. In whole NUDA area, the condition of road network is good. The road network is divided mainly into three types of roads. They are Major District Road, Other District Road and Village Road. The following table shows the coverage of road network.

9.3 Traffic and Travel Characteristics Navsari is the center for many social, cultural, commercial, political, industrial and educational activities for the whole of South Gujarat Region and has experienced many material changes in its physical structure. The major industrial development is on Navsari Grid Road. The major commercial activities are in Lunsikui Area. This has resulted in most unsatisfactory relationship between places of working and living areas. A large number of people have to commute from one living areas. A large number of people have to commute from one end of the town to another end to reach their working places. This causes undue delays, traffic jams, accidents, parking problems and unavoidable heavy pressure on public transport during peak hours.

Figure 32 Existing Rail Map 9.4 Intermediate Public Transport Intermediate Public Transport (IPT) is normally expected to fulfill a need that neither public transport nor are personal vehicles able to fulfill. They normally cater to a category of small 70

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039 trips, gap left with the public transport, or emergency trips that have to be undertaken immediately and it is not possible to wait for public transport. IPT services are usually provided by private operators, usually single-person enterprises that are often self-regulating or controlled by illicit groups. Often vehicles are hired to drivers on a daily basis. IPT services in Navsari include Auto rickshaws, taxis and other three wheeler. 9.5 Pedestrian and Bicycle The NUDA region has an area of 71.36 HA of which the city of Navsari past development plans, the city is relatively compact with well developed, ring radial road network and mixed land use. The major concern though is that there is very less involvement of people on cycles, and pedestrians. Which suggests that there needs to be more focus on safety for these modes. 9.6 Land Use Transportation Integration Land use transportation integration ideally constitutes of livable and walkable neighborhoods; where residents of diverse incomes, ages and backgrounds have an option to walk to nearby shopping areas, restaurants, parks and school; where streets are safe to walk along and offer convenient means of public transportation as well as private vehicles. Broadly, it is desirable to have the abutting land use character based on capacity of the streets and vice versa. In Navsari mixed use type of development exists along the streets. However, these streets do not offer any safety to the pedestrians & cyclists, forming a missing link in the land use transportation integration. 9.6.1 Land use and Transportation Integration along Major roads/Streets. Presently it is seen that the road width affects the height and scale permissible for development within any given plot. The development along the major streets is regulated according to the width of the road on which it abuts. Basically both residential and commercial land use are permitted along all the major roads in the city etc. that are wider than 12 m. Moreover, roads having widths lower than 15 m permit the development of small scale commercial and residential activities. As the width of the road decreases the scale and height of the building reduces. Analyzing the existing development along major streets, the following observations can be made:

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

Figure 33 Development along Major Road 9.7 Parking Well designed, and appropriately located parking creates welcoming atmosphere and leads to positive responses and satisfied patrons for all kinds of activities; commercial and residential, in addition to easing traffic flow and reducing congestion. Parking can be basically categorized into three types namely: • On-street Parking • Off-street Parking Figure 34: On Street Parking Table 49 Parking Details Detail No. of Plots Capacity Motorized Vehicle 3 80 Non-Motorized Vehicle - - Both - - Private Bus Parking 1 18 Private Truck Parking 3 30 (Source: Regional Transport Office (RTO)) 9.7.1 On-street Parking For motorized vehicles, there are three basic arrangements for on-street parking: parallel, perpendicular and angle parking. Navsari city has mix of on-street Parking. The on-street parking at station road, tower road, in Navsari addresses a lot of issues of vehicular movement, shopping, residential access and parking that are commonly found on majority of streets in the city. Provision of on-street parking in this pattern avoids the instances of ad-hoc approach of parking. On the whole; the newly developed roads in the city have the availability of parking space while the already developed roads have a demand for provision of parking space.

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

9.7.2 Off-street Parking Parking within the plots; not along the road is termed as off street parking. Off-street parking spaces for vehicles are to be provided in every new building constructed for the first use or when the use of the building is changed. There are two types of off-street parking spaces, based on ownership - public and private. A public parking lot is a cleared area that is intended for parking vehicles. Parking lots are found in varying sizes. These can be small with parking spaces for just few vehicles, or very large with spaces for thousand vehicles. Public parking lots near commercial and institutional buildings often help to avoid on street parking on the road, which otherwise would reduce the carriage way of the road and lead to traffic congestions. The number of public parking lots does not meet the parking demand especially on commercial streets in Navsari, hence incentives to build better and efficient parking lots would help to change the issues faced due to haphazard on-street parking. 9.8 Major observations and issues • Poor accessibility to basement parking. • Unauthorized rickshaw parking on the road. • Carriage way, service road and footpath were used for parking. • Need of on-street parking provision to be addressed near public transit corridors and commercial centers. • Generally, short term users prefer on-street parking and long term users prefer off- street parking. 9.9 Signage and Way Finding Signage is any kind of visual graphics found in the public domain to display information. Signage can include traffic signs, road names, etc. and typically includes way finding information for the surrounding area. Presently, it is observed that the road network and the traffic system does not follow any particular pattern for signage and way finding, and in most cases it is non-existent. Hence there is a strong need for creating a city wide signage system and upgrading signage across the entire city. Figure 35: Off street Parking 9.10 Observations and Issues 1. Absence of functional hierarchy and Street Typology Presently the only way to classify the streets in the city is based on the ROW widths; which is also not standardized.

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

2. Intersection planning on major junctions Presently many junctions/intersections within the city face massive traffic congestion during peak hours. 3. Integration between the modes of public transportation system Currently, there is little planned integration between the modes of public transport within the city and intermediate public transport (auto rickshaws). 4. Insufficient Green streets within the city Presently, there are not enough green streets in the city so as to encourage the pedestrian activity and the use of non-motorized transport on these streets. 5. Insufficient width of foot path on major pedestrian streets/roads • In general, there is a lack of proper footpaths with minimum 2 m (6 ft.) clear width for walking. • The on-street parking blocks the pedestrian activity; also informal activities encroach on the footpaths. • The streets intersections do not have proper pedestrian crossings. • At many places due to lack of maintenance, the footpaths are broken & dumped with garbage. 6. Cycle Tracks • Lack of provision of cycle track for children in the areas surrounding schools is a major issue. • Cycle track network is inadequate. 7. Inadequate parking facilities around major Public Transportation Station The present GSRTC bus depot located in city center which leads to congestion in the city center due to lack of parking facilities for GSRTC buses. 8. Unorganized parking for private buses • The buses park, pick up and drop off the passengers from busy intersections. • The bus stop activities at various places congest the roads and critical intersections. 9. Absence of integration between Land use and transportation system Presently, the city has poor integration of land use and the transport network in the city. 10. Inadequate on-street and off-street parking facilities Presently, on-street and off-street public parking is major issue in the city. Even though Navsari has a number of planned on street parking facilities, there exists an issue of haphazard on-street parking on major streets due to inadequate availability of off-street parking within the commercial and residential complexes.

PART-1 PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS-NUDA 2039

The existing public parking spaces are quite inadequate in order to meet the parking demands. 11. Increase in vehicular volume/ congestion on road There is a constant increase in the number of four-wheelers and two wheelers ownership in the city. Growth of vehicles leads to traffic congestion and further increases the vehicle density on the road.
