Geo-Environmental Assessment for Determining Suitability of Buildable Land in Context of a Hill Town Geo-environmental Assessment for Determining Suitability of Buildable Land in Context of a Hill Town Pushplata* and R. Anbalagan* Abstract Inappropriateness of the building and construction activities tai<ing place in preferred locations in the lower Himalayan region is a cause of concern on account of environmental degradation that is often witnessed along with increased construction activity in most of the popular hill towns of north India. Considerations of stability of hill slopes- considered to be the most important for any development by technical experts are often superseded by locational considerations of proximity to work centres and community facilities, land values, accessibility and solar exposure, in deciding the preferred locations for development, the type of buildings and their builtform in urban settlements in hills. Therefore, a comprehensive appraisal of areas in and around hill towns is important for determining their suitability for development for ensuring their social acceptability, as well as, sustainability. This paper discusses the methodology for geo-environmental assessment of hill slopes for determining their suitability for building purposes, after discussing the problems and issues related to urban development and construction of buildings and roads, which can then become a basis for planning for future urbanization in hill regions. This methodology is demonstrated in context of Almora- a hill town in Uttarakhand, which is witnessing rapid urban growth. Introduction Problems and Issues of Urban Development in Hill Towns Increased construction activities are natural outcome of urbanization in an area. However, Various problems faced by hill towns are these activities, though at much smaller consequent upon unplanned growth and/or scale and pace than that in plains, have the inappropriate planned efforts in some cases. potential to adversely affect and have already These problems range from those related to affected in some cases the sensitive instability of hill slopes and ecological environmental context in which they are disturbances to those related to accessibility located.

KAMAL BAHUGUNA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PRE FACE In present day time beauty and tranquility of Himalaya is at stake. Usually marginalized people have less economic opportunities and have over bearing dependence on their natural resource base in their immediate surroundings. So is the case of our Uttarakhand Himalaya. Over exploiting of natural resources are exposing the mountains of our working area to the risks of natural calamities likes landslides, earthquakes, wildlife depletion, etc. Hence, to avoid these threats to human lives in various forms, there comes an urgent need of conservation of the ora and fauna of these noble but Fragile Mountains. To resume the delicate balance between the nature and the human activities, people need to actively and skillfully engage in preservation of this precious Himalayan heritage. Youths and rural households have to position themselves for self-employment and alternative occupations for their livelihoods. Himalayan Institution For Environment, Ecology & Development (HIFEED), established in May 1995, being a dedicated Voluntary Organization is committed for relevant empowering education and all round development of hill communities irrespective of any kind of discrimination.

  • A Study of Youth Modernization in District Almora Kumaon Division Uttarakhand Dr
    A study of Youth Modernization in District Almora Kumaon Division Uttarakhand Dr. Rajesh Chandra Paliwal Sr. Assistant Professor , Department of Political Science, B.S.M.P.G.Cllege, Roorkee (Haridwar) Uttarakhand Abstract Youth being enthusiastic, vibrant, innovative and dynamic in nature is the most important section of the population. Youth shows strong passion, motivation and will power which also make them the most valuable human resource for fostering economic, cultural and political development of a nation. Modernization is an extremely complex phenomenon, which involves a large number of interrelated changes of many different kinds. Modernization refers to processes in which the society goes through such as industrialization, urbanization and other social changes that completely transform the lives of individuals. The new force of social change like Westernization, Modernization, Industrialization, Globalization, Politicization of issues and Media exposure have changed the norms and the values of the youth throughout the country. Modernization, Globalization, Industrialization and Urbanization have brought various changes in all spheres and sections of society all over the world. Everything is changing very rapidly be it our culture, customs, norms and values, change have been seen in every phase of life. New concepts like live-in- relationship, gay relationship etc. have emerged as a result of modernization. Key words: Modernization, Youth, Social change, Education. Statement of the problem In the course of India‘s different phases of social transformations, significant changes are seen in their societal norms and values which have deep impact on the youth. The new force of social change like Westernization, Modernization, Industrialization, Globalization, Politicization of issues and Media exposure have changed the norms and the values of the youth throughout the country.

  • An Entry Point to Climate- Change Adaptation for Sustainable Livelihoods in Asia
    Local innovation and experimentation: an entry point to climate- change adaptation for sustainable livelihoods in Asia Progress Report from INHERE, India for January-June 2012 The joint regional project on Local innovation and experimentation: an entry point to climate change adaptation for sustainable livelihoods in Asia commenced implementation in India in January 2012. The goal of the three year project 2012-2014 is to improve the livelihoods of climate-change vulnerable rural communities, especially women, dependent on agriculture and natural resources, through participatory innovation development (PID) to respond to climate change. The project has three specific objectives: 1. To improve the capacity of rural communities, especially women, dependent on agriculture and natural resources to innovate in order to adapt to climate change and become more food-secure, i.e. to become “innovative adaptive communities”. 2. To build the capacity of local organisations (CSOs, local government) to allow them to effectively support “innovative adaptive communities”. 3. To influence national and international policies towards the recognition of local capacities and initiatives in addressing the consequences of climate change. Preliminary Work The initiation of the project involved selection of staff for the project and their orientation to the project, its components and requirements. The staff was selected and appointed in February 2012.Three meetings were held for orientation of the personnel to be involved in the project. Of the three core staff, two are men and one woman. Initially the Project Coordinator was a woman but she left for personal reasons after working for four months. One of the Field Site Coordinators was upgraded to coordinate the project and replaced by a woman Field Site Coordinator.

Campus Kumaun University Nainital, India-263002 E-mail: [email protected]*, [email protected]** Abstract e pace of urbanization in Uttarakhand, particularly aer the 1980s, has been alarming, and thousands of people from rural areas are settling in nearby urban centres every year. Even aer the creation of the state, the growth of the towns in the plain areas is many times higher than the growth of hilly towns, due to migration from rural hilly region to at areas of Uttarakhand. About 80% of the urban population of the state is concentrated in the plain parts of Uttarakhand. It is interesting to see that the urban population of Uttarakhand had increased by 1,859.0% between 1901 and 2011, which is more than the national growth of urban population in India (1,358.5%). is paper attempts to analyse the growth and distribution levels and trends of urbanization, and towns by size class, from 1901 to 2011, in Uttarakhand. It also deals with the distribution, literacy, sex ratio, and occupational structure of the urban population.
