PHYSICAL SURVEY FOR TOWN PLANS
A LARGE PART OF PHYSICAL SURVEY FOR TOWNS IS CONCERNED
WITH THE ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRIBUTION, DENSITY AND

CONDITION
OF EXISTING DEVELOPMENT WITH A VIEW TO DECIDING WHAT
CHANGES SHOULD BE MADE WHEN REDEVELOPMENT TAKES PLACE
AND AMOUNT OF EXTRA LAND WHICH WILL BE REQUIRED TO
REDUCE THE DENSITY OF BUILDINGS.

1. LAND USE SURVEY
Scale of Map generally – 1:2500 or 1:1250 or 1:10000.
Work caried out by people working in groups of two or three persons.
Survey info need to be observed and recorded by them.
A complete use survey should denote the use of every building and
every parcel of land within the survey area.
Standard colour schemes are available to present Landuse Map.
Generally we follow British notations for land use map.

How to do land use survey :
The total land to be surveyed can first be divided into developed and
undeveloped area.
Developed one :
within the municipal limit
which has urban character – public or private
use like -residential, commercial, industrial, public and semi
public, parks/open spaces, area used for transportation etc.
brown field
Undeveloped one :
within the formal municipal limit
used for agriculture purpose
green field

List of uses included in each land (Developed)use:
Residential
detached, semi-detached and row houses, group housing
katras, and bastis
Commercial
Retail commerce – shops, general merchandise fabrics
business offices of lawyers, doctors, architects, engineers
and town planners, banks and others commercial office.
hotels, hostels. Motels and restaurants.
theaters, wholesale markets, godowns, workshop petrol
pumps.
Industrial
food products, textile, printing, leather, rubber, petroleum,
chemicals, stone, mechanical etc.

List of uses included in each land (Developed)use:
Public and semi publics

educational campuses, health, religious, historical
monuments, P.S., Fire Station
central, state and quasi-government office
public utilities like water pumping stations, reservoirs
STP, dumping ground
burial grounds
Reacreational (Parks/Play)
parks(national, districts), tot lots, public grounds
Transportation
all road
railway, yards, sheds, truck terminals, bus terminus,
taxi stand, airport.

DENSITY SURVEYS CLASS 2
HOUSES, ROOMS, PERSONS……. PER UNIT OF SPACE.

ITS CONTROL THE CONGESTION OF THE CITY.
VERY DIFFICULT SUBJECT…. NO COMPLETELY ADEQUATE
TECHNIQUES HAS YET EMERGED.
RESIDENTIAL DENSITY
FREEDOM FROM CONGESTION AROUND THE HOUSE AND

FREEDOM FROM CONGESTION WITHIN THE HOUSE.
CONTROL OF TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING IN A GIVEN AREA

SO THAT THE PROVISION OF EMPLOYMENT, SCHOOLS, SHOPS,
OPEN SPACES, ETC, MAY BE OF APPROPRIATE AMOUNT.
SO, MEASURMENT AND CONTROL OF DENSITY IS ABSOLUTELY

ESSENTIAL….. FOR EFFECTIVE PLANNING
DENSITY SURVEYS
RESIDENTIAL DENSITY EXPRESSED

……….. HOUSES PER ACRE
………… HABITABLE ROOMS PER ACRE
…………PERSONS PER ACRE …………… W.R.T. WHOLE AREA OF THE TOWN.
BUT MEASUREMENT OF THE DENSITY IN TERMS OF HOUSES PER ACRE IS NOT

SATISFACTORY………. BCZ SIZE OF HOUSE MAY VARY FROM A ONE ROOM HOUSE
TO A THIRTY-ROOM MANSION…..BCZ NUMBER OF PEOPLE ACCOMMODATE IN
BOTH WILL BE DIFFERENT.
THEN COMES HABITABLE ROOMS PER ACRE (ACCOMMODATION DENSITY)

AND NUMBER OF PERSONS PER ACRE (POPULATION DENSITY)

DENSITY SURVEYS
HOW TO DO……HABITABLE ROOMS PER ACRE (ACCOMMODATION DENSITY)
FIRST OBTAIN A 1:2500 MAPS OF WHOLE BUILT UP AREA

THEN NON-RESIDENTIAL AND RESIDENTIAL AREA SHOULD BE BLOCKED OUT
THE SIMILAR TYPE OF AREA NEED TO BE DIVIDE IN RESIDENTIAL AREA
THE NEXT STEP IS COUNT THE NUMBER OF HABITABLE ROOMS IN EACH SUB-
DIVISION.
THE DIVIDE IT…. YOU WILL GET ACCOMODATION DENSITY.
SOME DIFFICULTY MAY COME IN DECIDING WHAT CAN AND WHAT CANNOT
REASONABLY BE REGARDED AS A HABITABLE ROOM.

DENSITY SURVEYS
HOW TO DO…… (POPULATION DENSITY)

AFTER DOING THE ACCOMMODATIO DENSITY USE THOSE SUB-DIVISION
THEN DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN EACH BLOCK
THEN SIMPLE DIVISION OF ESTIMATED TOTAL POPULATION OF EACH AREA BY ITS

ACREAGE GIVES YOU POPULATION DENSITY IN PERSON PER ACRE.
OCCUPANCY RATES = POPULATION DENSITY / ACCOMMODATION DENSITY.
PRESENTATION OF RESIDENTIAL DENSITY SURVEY
ITS ALWAYS IN RANGES LIKE

UPTO – 50 PERSONS PER ACRE OR UPTO – 20 ROOMS/ACRE
51– 100 PERSONS PER ACRE OR 21 – 40 ROOMS/ACRE
101 – 150 PERSONS PER ACRE OR 41 – 60. ROOMS/ACRE

DENSITY SURVEYS
NON – RESIDENTIAL DENSITY

THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED “F S I”
AREA OF THE TOTAL FLOOR SPACE OF THE BUILDINGS ON A PARTICULAR SITE
DIVIDED BY THE AREA OF THE SITE.
THE SITE CAN BE DEVELOP UPTO MAXIMUM FSI

AGE AND CONDITION OF BUILDINGS
HISTORY OF GROWTH
ITS TELLS THAT WHICH PART OF TOWN AREA WERE MOST POPULAR FOR
DEVELOPMENT, AT DIFFERENT PERIODS, THE MAIN DIRECTION OF GROWTH AND THE
SPEED OF GROWTH IN DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
METHODS USED IS TO COLOUR WITH DIFFERENT PERIOD OF TIME
HISTORY OF GROWTH MAP IS NOT QUITE THE SAME THING AS AN AGE BUILDINGS
CONDITION OF BUILDINGS
A CAREFUL SURVEY OF THE CONDITION OF BUILDINGS WITHIN A TOWN IS OF GREAT

IMPORTANCE.

AGE AND CONDITION OF BUILDINGS
CONDITION OF BUILDINGS
THEY ARE USED TO ASSIT IN DETERMINING PROGRAMMING, OR THE ORDER IN

WHICH PLANNING PROPSALS ARE INTENDED TO BE IMPLEMENTED.
REPAIRE, NEW CONSTRUCTION AND SERVICES REQUIRED, DEMOLITION
HOW TO CHOOSE IT:

SOME FACTORS LIKE
NO BATHROOM, NO TOILETS, NO ELECTRICITY, INADEQUACY OF DAY LIGHT, SMALL
ROOMS, BAD STRUCTURAL CONDTION.
FACTORS LIMITING DEVELOPMENTS

LIKE: EXCESSIVE HIEGHT, EXCESSIVE SLOP ETC.
LAND LIABLE TO FLOODING OR WATER LOGGING

GOAL FORMULATION : IDENTIFYING OBJECTIVE
……………….. IT HAS TO BE HIERARCHIAL IN NATURE

………………..TREE LIKE NATURE.
LETS TAKE A EXAMPLE:
GOAL OF PROVIDING THE MOST CONVENIENT PATTERN OF MAJOR SHOPPING

CENTRES FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE AREA.
……………….. MINIMISING THE PERSONAL TRAVEL (PLAN-DESIGN OBJECTIVE)
………………..OR AVERAGE DISTANCE OF HOUSEHOLD FROM MAJOR SHOPPING CENTER
AT NO MORE THAN 5KM OR 7KM (IMPLEMENTATION/CONTROL OBJECTIVE)
OR GOAL OF REDUCING OR INCRESING THE DENSITY IN THE AREA.

ENJOY THE DURGA PUJA WITH YOUR DEAREST ONES

!! HAPPY DURGA PUJA TO ALL YOU !!
