Ennore Port, 16 Km North of Chennai Port, Another Erosion Problem Was Emerged and Similar Issues Like Chennai Port Are on the Way
i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The coastline of Chennai with a hinterland of 20km offer a variety of environmental issues and problems, which need integrated management. These include the coastal erosion and accretion, pollution from human settlement and industries, loss of aesthetics in tourism beaches and declining fishery resources. The ICMAM Project Directorate undertook the task of analysing above problems and prepared integrated management solutions, which will help to solve these problems and also avoidance of occurrence of such problems in future. It is well known that the shoreline along Chennai coast is subjected to oscillations due to natural and man made activities. After construction of Chennai port, coast north of port is eroded and 350 hectares land is lost into sea. The river Cooum that carries domestic sewage is closed due to accretion of sand south port. State Government resorted to short term measures for protecting coastal stretch of length 6 km at Royapuram with sea wall and the erosion problem shifted to further north. Now with the construction of Ennore port, 16 km North of Chennai port, another erosion problem was emerged and similar issues like Chennai port are on the way. If, no intervention is planned, threat to ecologically sensitive Pulicat Lake is inevitable. North Ennore Coast is already experiencing increased wave action and the naturally formed protection barriers, the “Ennore Shoals”, may likely to be disturbed by construction of Port. Baseline data reveal that the Ennore creek on south of Ennore port is experiencing increased siltation. Since the available information on Ennore coast is not sufficient for working out suitable measures, a research project entitled “Shoreline management along Ennore” has been formulated to conduct detailed field and model investigations on various dynamical aspects (water level variations, currents & circulation, tides, waves, bathymetric variations, sediment transport, shoreline changes etc) of Ennore coast covering Ennore creek to Pulicat mouth. -

Evaluation and Planning of Urban Green Space Network in Landscape Planning of Ponneri, an Emerging Smart City in Tamil Nadu
International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences (IJHSS) ISSN(P): 2319-393X; ISSN(E): 2319-3948 Vol. 5, Issue 5, Aug - Sep 2016; 39-46 © IASET EVALUATION AND PLANNING OF URBAN GREEN SPACE NETWORK IN LANDSCAPE PLANNING OF PONNERI, AN EMERGING SMART CITY IN TAMIL NADU K. NARMADA 1 & G. BHASKARAN 2 1Research Scholar, University of Madras, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India 2Assistant Professor, University of Madras, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT Global human population and urban development are increasing at unprecedented rates and creating tremendous stress on local, regional and global air and water quality. Some of the major functions of the urban green spaces include reducing air pollution, providing shade and habitat for arboreal birds, producing oxygen, providing shelter against winds, recreational and aesthetic qualities. Cities and peri -urban Settlements must be prepared to meet the challenge of unplanned settlement or slum formation. The move towards smart cities promises to bring greater automation, intelligent routing and transportation, better monitoring and better city management. The development of urban green space networks includes creation of new spatial forms, restoration and maintenance of green patches connectivity as well as protection of existing green spaces. Green space network begins to be recognised as a medium of conserving ecosystem and natural environment in urban area. Several methods have been introduced in regards to formulation of modelling urban green space network. This research paper reviews several methods that are used for modelling green space network in urban planning. Recently, remote sensing and GIS are being used to produce a model of urban green space network which positively afford nature conservation in the city.
