“A SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS of ALCOHOLISM in GUWAHATI CITY, ASSAM” PRANJIT THAKURIA Research Scholar, Department of Geography, Gauhati University, Assam, India JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 16, 2020 “A SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF ALCOHOLISM IN GUWAHATI CITY, ASSAM” PRANJIT THAKURIA Research Scholar, Department of Geography, Gauhati University, Assam, India Abstract: Alcoholism is linked to many harmful consequences for the individual drinker, the drinker’s immediate environment and society as a whole (Klingemann and Gmel, 2001). Though alcohol consumption is a part of the dietary practice of the native tribal society in Assam, vis-à-vis Guwahati city, consumption of alcohol is not at all regarded as an accepted social norm. Guwahati is one of the fastest growing areas in North-East India where alcoholism is a major social problem which is engulfing today`s younger generation. The study deals with the growth of alcoholism in the city. The study was carried out with a view to analyze the spatio-temporal dimension and distribution of alcohol outlet in the city. Primary data has been generated from both the alcohol user and non user groups with purposively designed questionnaires. Apart from it GPS technology were used to portray the spatial context of the alcohol outlets and show their spatial diffusion over time and space. Keywords: Alcoholism, Alcohol outlet, Alcoholic, Spatio-temporal 1. INTRODUCTION One of the most widespread problems creating a grave in the social periphery is the problem of alcohol addiction. Alcoholic beverages occupy a prominent place among consumer goods in Guwahati city. The alcohol market in the city generates profits through increase in productivity, distribution, sale and consumption of various alcoholic beverages and incurs huge loss and harm to the society. The Eastern Bengal and Assam Excise Act, 1910 was the initial legal provision associated with import, export, transport, manufacture, sale and possession of intoxicating liquor and of intoxicating drugs, during the British period (Saikia, 2011). Under such provision there were only two wine outlets in the city and the trend continued till 1980s where medico-legally permitted users are allowed to procure and consume alcohol in a controlled manner. However, the menace of alcohol addiction has gradually gaining ground; particularly Guwahati City in the mid 80s as many of the areas of the state including the city was declared as ‘wet areas’. Guwahati is one of the largest markets in North East India in terms of volume, value, government revenue and per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages. Its growth is rapidly increasing due to increase in production. Under such circumstance alcohol addiction has become a very scene in the social landscape of the city. 1.1 Objectives of the study: The major objectives of the work are to: 1. Understand the trend of growth of alcoholism in Guwahati city. 2. Analyze the spatio-temporal dimension and distribution of alcohol outlet in the city. 2. METHODOLOGY The study is based on both primary and secondary sources of information collected from the field and relevant sources like department of Revenue and Excise, Government of Assam, Police stations of the city, NGOs involved in such fields, etc. Secondary information has been consulted from relevant sources like books, published reports, papers from research journals and magazine, along with materials available in web based platform relevant to the study. Purposively designed questionnaires were used to carry out the primary survey. GPS locations and GIS technology was used to portray the spatial context of the alcohol outlets and to show their spatial diffusion over time and space. 2827 JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 16, 2020 3.

  • Urban Solid Waste and Health Implications in Guwahati,Assam India
    Urban Solid Waste and Health Implications in Guwahati, Assam India Mahfuza Rahman Associate Professor, Cotton College, Guwahati e-mail: [email protected] Guwahati is the biggest and fastest growing city in North East India, with a population of 8.04 lakh and a growth rate of 38.6 percent according to 2001 census. The population density in Guwahati is 2695.43 persons per sq km. and there is a growing problem of waste disposal within the city. We notice that the environment influences many aspects of human beings, and many diseases can be initiated, sustained or exacerbated by environmental factors. Therefore a study was carried out in Guwahati to understand the challenges faced both by the community and the management and the shared responsibility they both have. This study has been made in the light of the fact that we all affect the environmental health, through our individual and collective decision. In this research paper an attempt has been made to show the vulnerable pockets within the city, through a series of maps. The method used is the random sampling technique for the collection of primary data ,and questionnaires were designed to extract relevant information from the community and management. The findings reveal that there are certain diseases and infections like eye, skin, respiratory, malaria, dysentery and back pain which are found to be high. Key Words: Urban, solid waste, management, health. Introduction As urbanization continues to take place, the management of solid waste is becoming a major public health and environmental concern in urban areas of many developing countries.

INTRODUCTION: The Present Assam was referred to as Kamrup in many of the ancient Indian literature.
