EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Detailed Area Plan (DAP) is the third of the three tiers DMDP Package. The first two tier Structure Plan and Urban Area Plan were prepared back in 1995. It was decided to prepare DAP subsequently and the initiative was taken in 2004.
The current Planning area of Group E encompasses 10 unions of Savar Upazila in full and one in part, Savar Cantonment Union, Savar Pourashava and other Urban Areas declared by BBS 2001. The planning area also includes three unions of Gazipur Sadar Upazila. According to BBS 2001 the total planning area comes to 87,654 acres or 35487.45 ha (according to Structure Plan the area is 72,237 acres, while according to consultants GIS estimation the area is 75,111.63 acres).
In 1991 the total population of the planning area was about 4,16,682 that rose to about 6,42,320 in 2001, with an increase of about 54.15%. Projection for the year 2010 shows population as 948208, about 47.62% increase from 2001. The projection shows 11, 77,272 populations in the year 2015 that will be almost 24% increase over 2010. The planning area is inhabited by a cross section of income earners like, service holder, businessman, working class and farmer.
Existing spatial development of planning is characterized by established built up areas and dispersed new developments mostly on flood free lands. Pockets of industrial agglomerations are observed in northern and south-western areas, while dispersed industries are found almost everywhere. Main industrial agglomerations are at Hemayetpur, Karnapara, Baipail, Dhamsona, along Baipail Tongi Raod and areas around Dhaka EPZ. Retail Commercial developments are observed on major roads, like, Nabinagar- Chandra Road and Baipail - Tongi Road and Savar. A large area is comprisedof agricultural and rural homestead. Except eastern periphery, almost entire planning area is characterized by high, undulated land surface with red soil, crisscrossed by flood plains and khals.
Group-E Planning area is covered by four spatial planning zones of Structure Plan, namely, SPZ 16: Northern Fringe, SPZ 17(1): Savar, SPZ 1(2): Dhamsona (part) and SPZ 17(3): Flood Zone West (part). For SPZ 16 the Structure Plan Policy recommended to discourage urbanisation. The plan asked to integrate the RAJUK plan in the area with new DAP; for SPZ- 17(1) it recommended to steer development in the established urban area instead of new areas; discouraged linear development; suggested realization of cost of infrastructure development from private developers of housing estates. As suggested for SPZ 17(2), DAP should guide development in the area in a planned way; fund should be made available to develop infrastructure to enable urbanisation; a separate municipality is recommended to provide infrastructure facilities in planning area. In SPZ 17(3) Structure Plan proposes the entire zone as flood flow area where only agriculture is permitted.

Executive Summary
Final Plan Report
Preparation of Detailed Area Plan for Group-E of DMDP
The summary of proposed land allocation depicts that the agriculture is the dominant land uses with an area of 2152.00 acres of land which is 28.16% of the total planning area, followed by flood flow zone (23.34%), while about 9.16% of the planning area has been proposed for residential development. Besides, there is about 18.36% rural settlement zone while about 5.39% of lands have been earmarked for road network developments. Apart from Structure Plan delineated flood flow zones major water bodies in the area including natural channels have been proposed to conserve. Conservation of old heritage has also been proposed.
Structure Plan suggested developing urban centres and sub-centres, in line with Structure Plan, DAP proposes to develop major civic centre to promote urbanization. Major civic centre with space for such facilities as, park and playground, health facilities, education, public administration, shopping, mosque and eidgah, fire station and police out post, kitchen market, graveyard and space for miscellaneous uses have been suggested with an area of 27.49 acres of land. The total open space (including the civic centre) stands at 204.48 acres that gives 4.29 acres per 25000 populations in the year 2015.
The DAP for GroupE area proposes 348.82 km of road network comprising secondary and tertiary roads that includes STP proposed roads as well. Proposals have also been made for widening of number of narrow roads and establish missing links. Service roads have been proposed on major thoroughfares for local traffic movement and to keep the highway traffic free. DAP also supported the proposed circular waterway around Dhaka, a part of which passes by the eastern periphery of GroupE area.

1.1 Introduction
The Final Plan Report is the 6th of the series of the reports submitted under the tasks of DAP assigned to Group-E area. The first report of the project was the Inception Report that primarily dealt with the approach and methodology of the work with some highlighting on the preliminary idea about the present scenario of the study area. The second report was study area report (called Report-1) which was about the collection and authentication of mouza maps, fixation of study area boundary and geo-referencing. The next report was survey report (Report-2) that contained the survey findings and the base maps prepared on the basis of physical survey and also the findings of sample household survey of the study area. Interim Report (Report-3) was the third report that contained description about previous higher level plans, stakeholder consultations, the broad land use plan and policies and the integrated plan. The Draft Plan Report (Report-4) that contained the draft plan proposals followed the Interim Report. The current report is the Final Plan Report that illustrates the detailed area plan proposals, the projects prepared based on the plan, priority and phasing of project implementation and other details of institutional issues. The final report has been prepared incorporating the acceptable amendments received during public consultations.
1.2
Background
RAJUK initiated the Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan (DMDP) project in early 90s. The project was originally designed to prepare a set of three hierarchical plans- Structure Plan, Urban Area Plan and Detailed Area Plans. Due to technical reason the project had to be closed down in 1995 without preparing the Detailed Area Plan component.
The DMDP Structure Plan sets a 20 year (1995-2015) long term development strategy for metroDhaka sub-region of 1528 sq. km. of RAJUK area. The DMDP Structure Plan report identifies the order of magnitude and the direction of anticipated urban growth and sets forth a series of policy guidelines for achieving the overall plan objectives.
The DMDP Urban Area Plan (UAP) provides an interim mid-term strategy for 10 years (1995-2005) for the development of urban area within the RAJUK administrative boundary. Detailed Area Plan (DAP), the lowest tier in the three level planning exercises, is basically a local level plan which provides the proposed land use zoning, infrastructure and utility services.
Detailed Area Plan is a vital part of the DMDP as far as spatial development and development control is concerned. Absence of Detailed Area Plans not only hampered undertaking development projects by RAJUK but also led to uncontrolled and unwanted spatial development in the private sector. Absence of land use zoning provisions to be prepared under the Detailed Area Plan also poised another problem that restricted approval of building plans, particularly in the newly urbanizing areas of

Final Plan Report
RAJUK. With a view to ameliorate all the above problems, RAJUK decided to complete the Detailed Area Plan component of the DMDP package and undertook the present project. On approval of the project by GOB, RAJUK invited proposals from competent consulting firms. Firms submitted proposals for assignments divided into five groups (Group A, B, C, D and E). The proposals were studied and analysed and works were awarded to five successful applicants. Sheltech (Pvt.) Ltd. in Association with DatEx was awarded Group-E area covering almost entire Savar Thana and a small part of Gazipur Sadar Upazila falling within the RAJUK jurisdiction.
1.3
Purpose of the Detailed Area Plan (DAP)
The provision of DAP is inherent in the Structure Plan with some specific purposes. These are: a. Provide basic infrastructure and services in the study area through systematic planning. b. Create congenial environment to promote economic activities. c. Improve drainage system and protect flood flow zones from encroachment. d. Create service centres to enable urban growth. e. Serve as a reference document for land clearance and building permission. f. Provide guidelines for public and private investment priorities g. Provide relevant planning polices for sustainable development h. Serve as a document for land use and development control.
1.4
Objective of the Project
The main objectives of the Detailed Area Plan (DAP) are as follows: a. To provide a quality urban design having aesthetic, functional and flexibility characteristics; b. To develop a programme for public sector action aiming at the implementation of the plan; c. To prepare database and disseminate it in professional manner; d. To provide and guide private sector development; e. To provide clarity and security to future inhabitants and investors; f. To prepare guidelines for future infrastructure development.
1.4.1
General Objectives
The general objectives of Detailed Area Plan envisage: To Implement Structure Plan and Urban Area Plan policies To Guide and control urban development in an orderly manner in preferred areas of urban expansion To create an urban environment enabling citizens to enjoy the services that suit urban living. 1.4.2 Specific Project Objectives Implementation of Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan 1995-2015 Data Management and Dissemination Preparation of Multi-sector Investment Plan Ensuring Clarity and Security of Investment Providing Guideline for Development Ensuring Sustainable Environment

Custodian of the Detailed Area Plan
The present detailed area plan is a part of the DMDP plan package prepared under the banner Master Plan as envisaged in Section 73(1) of the Town Improvement Act 1953. Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) is the custodian of the Master Plan and as such it will be the custodian of the detailed area plan as well and responsible for execution of the development control and development proposals prepared under the plan. The development proposals can be implemented either by RAJUK itself or through any other development agency, public or private. Execution of many of the development proposals will rest on other public development agencies, but it will be the responsibility of RAJUK to take initiatives to get work done by those agencies through the Ministry of Housing and Public Works. RAJUK will take action against whoever violates the provisions of the approved DAP proposals and development control provisions.
1.6
Duration of Detailed Area Plan (DAP) and Amendment
The current Detailed Area Plan (DAP) shall remain valid till the validity of the Structure Plan that is 2015. DAP proposals, including land use zoning made in this report, should be periodically reviewed to fit the plan with the need of the time. The purpose of the review will be to take an overview of the level of implementation of the DAP, review changing physical growth pattern, development of infrastructure, trend of public and private sector developments. Necessary changes should be made in DAP proposals in the light of the findings of the review.
As a part of the master plan, amendment of the detailed area plan will be done under the legal provision of Section 74(2) of the Town Improvement Act 1953. All the amendments shall have to be notified in the Official Gazette for public information. As the relevant provision of the act says, (2) The 2 [Kartripakkha] may, from time to time, with the approval of the3 [Government] and the3 [Government] may at any time, amend or alter any specific provision of the Master Plan . Any such amendment or alteration shall be published in the Official Gazette. So RAJUK can carry out amendment of the DAP any time with the approval of its Board and the Ministry and publish the same in the Official Gazette. But the best way will be to carry out the amendments at regular interval instead of time to time peace meal amendments. It is suggested to extend validity of the Structure Plan upto 2018 to allow a decade of time for implementation of the DAP proposals.

1.8.2 Geo-Physical Profile The following geographic profile of the study area has been ascertained through physical survey and other secondary sources.
a. Geology and Soil The land of the planning area is composed of alluvial soil of the pleistocene period. The height of the land gradually increases from the east to the west. The southern part is composed of alluvial soil of the Bangshi and Dhalashwari rivers. Main rivers are Bangshi, Turag, Buriganga and Karnatali.

Final Plan Report
b. Topography The substantial part of the study area is geographically a part of the Pleistocene Terrace, popularly known as Madhupur Tract. Such lands are characterized by high, undulated land surface with red soil, criss crossed by flood plains and streams. Except the southern part, almost entire planning area land falls in this category. The level of land surface exhibits greater than gentle slope ranging between 2 m to +15 m with respect to m PWD. The highest level of lands in the area exists in patches and not in continuous form. A ream of lower level plains are found along the flood plains on the eastern periphery, moving from north to south, ranging from 2 m to +6 m. The levees of the flood plains are usually of higher elevation ranging up to 12 m PWD. Areas like Birlia, Savar Cantonment, Ashulia, part of Pathalia, part of Basan, Rajashan, Jahangirnagr University stand comparatively at a higher elevation, ranging between 10 m to 15 m to PWD. These areas are free from normal floods and used for settlement development, while the areas of lower elevation are used for cultivation of crops.
c. Geological Faults Geographically Bangladesh finds itself in one of the most earthquake prone areas of the world. The northern part of mega Dhaka that is almost the entire Group-E area falls in the most severe earthquake zone of the country. As per Earthquake Risk Index (ERI), Dhaka is one of the riskiest cities in the world, although geologically Dhaka is in the second earthquake prone zone. Its vulnerability is due to its non-engineered structures, said experts (Daily Star, August 25, 2006). From the study of Dhaka City and Earthquake, it has been observed that (Daily Star, August 25, 2006) two fault lines have passed through the Group-E area creating two areas which are most vulnerable and moderately vulnerable. One has passed through Bangshi-Dhaleswari River and the other through the Turag River. The Structure Plan identified three fault lines. One fault, called Bansi Fault passes through the Turag, the Dhamrail fault runs through the Karnapara River and the fault, originating from Karnapara River in the west runs north-east, crosses Bansi fault and joins Tongi fault. Development control should be exercised in these areas through Building Construction Rules 1996 and Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) 1993 to avoid any possible disaster. Please see Map-1.2.

Review of Previous Plans and Proposals
The following section presents a review of the previous plans undertaken in the planning area.
1.9.1
Master Plan for Dhaka, 1959
a. Relevant Recommendations The Dacca Master Plan 1959, prepared in 1959 and approved in 1960, covered an area of about 829 sq. km (320 sq. m.) encompassing Dhaka Municipality, Tongi Municipality and Narayanganj Municipality. The present study area of Group-E that is Savar Thana and part of Gazipur Sadar Thana, was totally outside the jurisdiction of the 1959 Master Plan area. So for logical reasons review of 1959 Master Plan is omitted here.

Dhaka Metropolitan Area Integrated Urban Development Project (DMAIUDP), 1981
a. Relevant Recommendations DMAIUDP was undertaken in 1980-81 with a view to prepare a long term strategy for the future development of Dhaka City. The project proposed some alternative growth strategies for future Dhaka, evaluated them and finally selected the most suitable strategies for future development of Dhaka.
Preparation and Selection of Strategic Options by DMAIUDP Dacca Metropolitan Integrated Urban Development Project (DMAIUDP) 1981 was undertaken to work out the future mode and pattern of Dhaka city development keeping in consideration of the physical and social constraints and opportunities existing within and possible areas of future expansion. It was the first ever attempt to prepare a strategic plan in Bangladesh. The project was jointly funded by the Government of Bangladesh (GOB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Planning Commission of GOB was entrusted with the responsibility to implementing the project with Asian Development Bank as the executing agency.
A British consulting firm in association with a number of local firms initiated the project in 1980 and completed in 1981. The experts drew up nine strategic options for future development of Dhaka city. They reviewed the options for selection of the most suitable one. The options were,
Option-1:
continuation of the current trend sustained peripheral growth of the city with limited northward expansion.
Option-2:
peri-urban development low density resettlement with intensive agricultural production, over an extensive area surrounding the city.
Option-3:
comprehensive flood control-flood protection of the existing city and the northern, eastern and western development areas by enclosing embankment.
Option-4:
comprehensive flood control around the south and south eastern periphery of greater Dhaka.
Option-5:
northern expansion- development by concentration of employment, infrastructure ands services.
Option-6:
northern expansion- as for 5 with addition of an improved transportation facility linking urban centers in the north up to that in the south-east.
Option-7:
development of new satellite city concentration of new development at one new location in the city region away from the existing city.
Option-8:
sub-regional dispersal decentralization of urbanization and urban development in the existing urban centers of the city region.
Option-9:
minimization of urban growth-limitation of urban population growth by reducing the level of investment in the city in favour of rural development.
A two stage evaluation of the option was carried out. But the consultants finally found none of the options satisfactory. In the first stage the experts rearranged the options into following three strategies. The three alternative strategies were:
Chapter-1
Final Plan Report
A. Extensive development of land immediately adjoining the city by comprehensive flood protection. B. Continuing peripheral expansion of the city without flood protection. C. Expansion of the city to the north and west which does not require comprehensive flood protection. A second stage evaluation of the three alternatives was carried out based on the criteria of, - Cost - benefit - Implementation possibilities and - Flexibility criteria. After evaluating the three alternatives the experts came to the conclusion that alternative B and C were the best choices as they have the balance of advantages. And these advantages could be achieved at a lower level of urban development expenditure, with fewer implementation problems, and at lower risk than in the flood protection strategy.. Therefore, the combined peripheral growth /northern expansion strategy was adopted as the recommended urban development strategy for future Dhaka.
Review and Analysis of DMAIUDP Options in the Context of the Study Area Though the strategy was never officially adopted but the spontaneous trend of development was towards the same direction as anticipated by the DMAIUDP consultants. The northern and central part of Savar and the areas around Joydebpur Chowrastha are nothing but the part of Option C that is northern expansion in flood free zone. In alternative A: Comprehensive Flood Protection strategy the Savar and Gazipur Sadar Thana termed as less intensive peripheral growth area and were not included within the comprehensive flood protection strategy.
In Alternative B: Peripheral Growth, areas adjacent to the exiting built up parts of Group-E area were included as possible future peripheral growth locations. These areas are located in Savar and on the both sides of Dhaka-Aricha Highway and areas around Joydebpur Chowrasta. In Alternative C: Northern Expansion, the entire Group-E area was included as future expansion areas except the central flood flow zone. The Gazipur part falling within the study area was considered as 1st expansion area in the C alternative. In Savar, the northern part was taken as 4th phase development area. The central eastern part of the Group-E area was considered as 3rd phase and the central part Government Dairy and Livestock Farm and other public establishments and privately planned housing areas were marked as development areas already planned. The central western part on the west of Dhaka-Aricha Highway was considered as the 1st phase development area.
Latest physical survey by the consultant reveals unprecedented spatial growth in the study area beyond comprehension of the experts of DMAIUDP. Peripheral growth has surpassed the prediction in the eastern and northern part of the city, however within predicted limit in Savar and Gazipur. Alternative B did not predict any growth along Nabinagar-Chandra Road, but this is one of the fastest expansion areas of mega Dhaka, mainly induced by the development of two EPZs in the area. A new Abdullahpur-Baipal Road was built during late eighties that also boosted industrial and commercial developments along the road. Large scale increase in the global export of RMG and knitwear by
Chapter-1
Final Plan Report
Bangladesh are the main reasons for boosting manufacturing establishments in the area. Flood free cheap lands with good communication with Dhaka City are the major pull factors that led to the large scale growth of industries in the northern periphery. However, it is true that the than experts did not foresee such economic boost in the country back in early 1980s. Similar spatial growth is also observed along the Tongi-Gazipur Road. New investments in the manufacturing in these areas have resulted in large scale population growth in the vicinity leading to growth of other supporting activities. The alternative C predicted much wider spatial growth on the flood free northern periphery. It predicted development in four phases. But the developments have been not that momentum to cover all the four phased areas. Rather the 1st phase locations are yet to become saturated.
DMAIUDP report was never officially accepted as strategy for urban development by the government and no urban development agency ever showed any response to the recommendations of the report. In fact the report was virtually ignored. However, the private land development that took place after preparation of the report was mainly along the flood free land and the expansion was northward. Some flood control structures built during the great floods in 1988 encouraged developments in the low lands within the embankment area.
1.9.3
DMDP Structure Plan and Urban Area Plan (1995-2015)
The Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan in the form of Structure Plan and Urban Area Plan was prepared during the period 1992-1995 to provide policy guidelines for the development of Metro Dhaka for 1995-2015 period. The policies and strategies adopted in the plan was to provide a rough development control guidelines for the Metro Dhaka until the preparation of Detailed Area Plan, the third of the three tier new urban development plan document. Structure Plan and Urban Area Plan framework relevant to Group-E area is presented below:
a. Relevant Recommendations Structure Plan Land Use Development and Control Policies divide the Group-E area into following Land Use zones (Map-1.3). o o o o o o o o Established Urban Area up to 1989 (Consolidation) Peripheral Urban Development (Enablement) Agriculture Area Main Flood Flow Zone Sub-flood Flow Zone High Value Agricultural Land Special Area Flood Retention Pond (Indicative)
Major Roads/Public Transportation Network The DMDP Structure Plan policies relating to transport sector derived largely from the Greater Dhaka Metropolitan Area Integrated Transport Study (DITS). The main objective of the strategy was to establish a long term primary road network for the metropolitan area, to serve the needs of the
Chapter-1
Final Plan Report
growing urban concentrations by providing improved access to the main urban area itself and linkage to areas with potential for growth. These roads would differ from the remaining network in that its main purpose would be to provide a national link rather than to provide for urban travel. The DMDP Structure Plan proposed different road transport infrastructures like, road development, public transport, sub-way development etc. Table-1.4 shows the proposed sequence of road development covered in Group-E area. Road Development As policies the DMDP offered high priority to the development of limited access Eastern By-pass to become a key link in the emerging national network of arterial roads and relief the existing urban network. However the Eastern By-pass lies outside the study area of Group-E. The DMDP also recommended a policy of incremental road development, as a long term road development approach. Under this approach Right of Way will be reserved in advance of future development where need arises. The road will be developed in phases. Public Transport The main thrust of public transport would be bus service which is proposed to be expanded on different routes as proposed by DITS. This policy has largely been executed. The DMDP also proposed for a commuter rail network as a major mass transit covering key parts of the existing urban and sub-urban areas of Dhaka City. This was a long term proposal to serve the high density areas.

Sub-way Proposal for DMDP Area SU5 ---UD BR
Source: DMDP Structure Plan (1995-2015)
Sub-way Development The DMDP anticipated very high population growth in Dhaka as a mega city, which vis a vis would increase its transport demand. The plan to ease the future traffic flow and mass transit of future Dhaka recommended for sub-way. The plan said, Sub-way will definitely create opportunity to retain the characteristics of the old Dhaka allowing mass transit. It proposed to start sub-way development program for mass light railway network to start by the year 2000. But no attempt in this respect was taken subsequently. b. Application of the Structure Plan and the Urban Area Plan A considerable time has elapsed since the DMDP Structure Plan and Urban Area Plan were accepted. However, large scale transfer of land is taking place resulting in land sub-division with provision of very narrow access. In some areas, industrial growth has taken place indiscriminately. Total disregard to controlled discharge of hazardous industrial effluent especially by the emerging dyeing industry has resulted in large scale water pollution. In the absence of strong and effective development control measures new areas are developing in a completely haphazard manner and every year new areas are being occupied by settlements with little or no infrastructure or utility facilities.

Public Consultation
1.10.1 Consultation with Local Government Authorities Consultation with Savar Pourashava A discussion program was arranged by the consultant about the problems and prospects related to spatial, social and economic development of the pourashava. Executive Engineer of Savar Pourashava informed that a draft municipal development plan (infrastructure and land use) was completed by Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Project of Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) under Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives. Executive Engineer also informed about different ongoing projects for the improvement of the pouroshava. It was informed that development in pourashava is growing in an unplanned way. The tendency of mixed land use has increased all over the pourashava thus creating problems for residential areas. With the urban invasion farm lands are fast disappearing. He also informed that different industries/ commercial units are growing without following the planning and environmental standards. Pourashava was unable to provide adequate utility services to its citizens due to paucity of fund. The industries that pollute environment should be relocated outskirts, and industrial developments should be restricted in certain areas for protecting environment. Findings of discussions: It was understood from the discussions that spatial growth is taking place in a haphazard manner and it is prime time to stop it by not allowing unacceptable mixed use of land. Important roads need to be widened considering the present traffic volume and for next 15 years. Internal road conditions are also not up to mark and unsuitable for vehicular movement. Encroachment of land by different developers needs to be address properly because this is a big problem for Savar area. Land filling in different parts of the area is also creating problem for natural drainage. High valued agricultural lands need to be protected from non-agricultural uses. Consultation with LGED about UGIIP The urban governance and infrastructure improvement project (UGIIP) intends to support the sectoral investment plan of the GOB in selected secondary towns by means of ensuring good governance. The pourashavas are required to implement on urban governance improvement action plan first with a limited allocation of project funds to cover the most urgent infrastructure needs. At the pourashava level, Town Level Coordination Committee (TLCC) has been formed to provide overall advisory services to the pourashava to ensure governance and in the process the pourashava have also been strengthened through establishing different units.
Findings of discussion: The infrastructure development includes transportation planning and management, surface water drainage and sewerage system, Housing and shelter, water supply and sanitation, solid waste disposal, and different utility services available, different public and private sector institution.
Chapter-1
Final Plan Report
The study include, identification of existing conditions, problems, vision objective and goal for improvement and development, different proposals from local committees and finally recommendations.
Trying to prepare a plan framework for pourashava that can help guide the development authorities on development issues in order to guide and develop pourashava as appropriate in order to reach the goal for a livable pourashaha which is not healthy and safer but also efficient and better.
This could be assured through better socio economic services facilities that could be achieved through, effective use of micro credit program and primary health service opportunities and drainage structures, road linkages, improved garbage disposal and sanitation system.
Further Consultation with local governments was carried out through: 1.10.2 Dhaka City Corporation, Savar Upazila Parishad Concerned Ward Union Parishad Consultation with Different Communities
Consultation with World Vision (NGO) Activities and services of the organization provided to the local people. It covered local level institution development through which local people can uplift their lifestyle by themselves. Through discussions it was understood that they had program on education sector, with special attention on children, in the form of cash or kind. They are also providing assistance to institutions like, renovating school buildings for creating better educational environment. If necessary they are also providing school furniture, flip charts, electric fans, blackboard, to enhance number of enrollment. Considering health and hygiene issues on urgent basis they also provided other facilities like installation of latrines, playground facilities and sports materials
World Vision has been performing different activities as part of their area development program and helping community people to change their living condition and environment in a sustainable way. Under FSEI development sector involved in improving the already existing rural roads (Type 3) which lead directly to markets and urban centers, schools, hospitals, and other main roads. Improvement of these roads enhanced acquisition of farm inputs, marketing of agriculture products etc. These also help poor people to add new source of income like rickshaw pulling, opening of small business along the roads. Findings of discussions: NGO is trying to help the local community to improve their lives in a sustainable way. Social development of the poor households is the main objective of the organization. Two of the main thrusts of the organization are to help the distressed women by improving their social status and make them be able to become an income earner in the family and help children to as educated and healthy citizens.

In Group-E area about 869 responses were received during invitation of public hearing. These responses were checked and analysed by the consultant. Out of total responses, 170 expressed appreciation about the whole plan or its different aspects. Three respondents made no comment about the plan. But most responses were requests to declare their areas a land use as per their desire or free their land from any development proposal or development restriction. The consultant carefully studied all these petitions and tried its best to accommodate only the requests that were found feasible. The Table-1.5 gives a summary statistics about the responses received and actions taken about them. Out of 869 petitions having complaints/suggestions, 19.56%% expressed their satisfaction about the whole plan or any particular development proposal in the plan. The number of complaints/suggestion receive stands at 696, out of which 21.55% were addressed or accommodated that were found reasonable, and 79.23% could not be addressed for various reasons including restriction of the Structure Plan and on other environmental and planning grounds.
1.10.4 Consultation with Public Representatives A series of consultation meetings were held with the Honorable Members of the Parliament of the RAJUK jurisdiction area to appraise them of the draft final DAP and obtain their valuable suggestions

and recommendations. Almost whole August and half of September, 2009 was spent on this consultation. The outcome of the consultations may be summarized as follows: Honorable members appreciated the endeavor and expressed that in order to develop Dhaka in planned way all necessary measures including implementation of the draft DAP should immediately be under taken. Some members made specific suggestions for widening of certain roads, making suggestion for new connectivity. Some members wanted changes in the Landuse proposals. The consultants accommodated their suggestion where higher level plan allowed. Suggestions that did not conform to the higher level plan could not be adhered to.

Draft DAP Review by Review Committee
To give top priority to environmental considerations and also to ensure civil society participation in plan making process, RAJUK organized a 13 member Technical Working Group (TWG) representing professional groups and environmental activists. The TWG examined the various aspects of the plan proposals including the environmental issues. In the meantime a two month long public hearing was arranged by RAJUK on the plan to seek public opinion. A series of tripartite meetings were held with representatives from RAJUK, consultants and the TWG. The major observation of the TWG covered the following issues:
(i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi)
Population projection Conformity of the proposed land use of DAP with DMDP and from planning principles and norms Standards for amenities Issues of transportation Development management tools/strategies Issues of Data discrepancy
On the recommendation of TWG the Review committee (RC) was set up to finalize its report on March 30, 2009. But the consultants differed on the report opinion and it was decided to resolve the issue through discussion among the RC, RAJUK and the Consultants. Accordingly a series of tripartite meetings were arranged and finally the matter was resolved through consensus reached by all the three parties. According to consensus following decision were made.
Population Population for 2015 shall be projected on the basis of: Population of 2001 and shall be considered as 10.24 Million. Population for 2015 and shall be accepted as 18.43 Million. Overall Annual Growth Rate shall be considered as 4.29 %.

Rural Settlement Zone A new zone named Rural Settlement Zone shall be created to accommodate and confine traditional cluster of rural settlements.
Flood Flow Zones Since all the structures have been contained within newly created Rural Settlement Zone, the remaining parts of Main Flood Flow and Sub Flood Flow zone become one and therefore merged into one zone namely Flood Flow Zone.
Agricultural Zone High value Agricultural Zone and Agricultural Zone shall be merged into one zone namely Agricultural Zone due to their uniform and similar landuse control requirement. Any further use that does not conform to the Agricultural Zones shall be strictly prohibited.
Retention Ponds & Canals Retention Pond as provided by the consultants in the form of canals at DND and the Eastern Fringe may be maintained as they comply with the Structure Plan & Urban Area Plan. Retention Pond as provided by the consultants at the outskirts of the Eastern Fringe alongside the embankment to ease pumping out of water may be maintained. Canal Network at the Eastern Fringe may be improved by creating links among them. Canals for drainage of Eastern Fringe as per Halcrow Study will work but FAP 8A proposed Retention Area may be kept as further caution.
Road Network Grid Iron pattern for main roads (Down to secondary roads) as proposed by the Consultants may be provided. Crossing the canals by main roads (Down to secondary roads) as proposed by the Consultants may be provided. Regional Road over Retention Pond on viaduct may be provided.
Urban Deferred Since DAP projected population for 2015 is more than the estimated population of the Structure Plan, no part of the area designated as urban in the Structure Plan is required to be shown as urban deferred.

Chapter-2 CRITICAL PLANNING ISSUES

2.1
2.1.1
Existing Development Pattern

General
The current Chapter is about critical planning issues and development problems of the planning area as ascertained during the course of the study. The chapter also makes a review of the prevailing development planning iss ues in the study area.
Spatial Growth Pattern Substantial spatial growth has taken place in the planning area during last few decades in different sectors caused by economic proliferation, covering such issues as residential, commercial and industrial developments and services facilities. The main characteristics of spatial growth are: i. ii. The spatial growth usually follows major roads; Development takes place in areas where land level is high and free from flooding;
iii. Manufacturing establishments primarily choose locations that give them economy of scale, that is, the locations which help lowering their cost of production; iv. Housing estates chose cheap locations in remote areas to maximize profit and with a long term objectives of development; v. Development is taking place in a dispersed manner.
vi. Most buildings do not have approval from RAJUK, the controlling authority of the area. Map-2.1 shows the pattern of spatial growth in the study area.
2.1.2
Socio-economic Profile
The current section of the report studies the socio-economic profile of the planning area. Detail data on socio-economic survey is presented in Annex-2.1.
Demography Since Savar constitutes the overwhelming part (78%) of the planning area the analysis of demographic changes of Savar Upazila is well enough to give indication to the overall situation of the planning area regarding demographic variables. It is evident from consecutive population census reports that population of Savar has been rising substantially over the years causing rapid urbanisation. During 20 years between 1981 to 2001 population of Savar Upazila increased by about 2,01618 persons, which means every year over 10 thousand people were added to the area since 1981. From 1991 to 2001 the population growth of Savar has been tremendous (59.47%). During 1991-2001 period the population growth rate was 8.63% compared to 4.46% during the previous decade. With the increase in population the density of population has also shot up from 1349.49 persons per sq.km in 1991 to 2152.00 persons per sq.km in 2001. Another indication of rapid urbanisation is the
Chapter-2

Final Plan Report
increased literacy rate of the area. The literacy among 7+years of population increased from about 38% (1991) that rose to over 56% in 2001. Table 2.1 shows changes in different demographic variables that took place in Savar Upazila over 1981-2001 decades. The demographic changes over 80s and 90s period, it clearly indicates a trend of rapid urbanization process in the planning area. From 1981 to 2001 the density increase was more than double. Though the density is much lower than the Dhaka core, trend indicates high density clusters in particular locations like, Karnapara, Savar proper, Nabinagar, Hemayetpur, Baipail areas along Ashulia road, where spontanaous high density settlements are imminent. It is observed that all the said areas are developing as sprawls. As a result they are devoid of many basic urban services, like, piped water supply, drainage, waste management, adequate and standard road network. Urbanisation without proper management has potential dangers of environmental disaster, like, drainage congestion, solid waste management problems, loss of livability caused by haphazard development and traffic management problems. The ensuing problems call for formation of municipalities in these areas. There was no attempt in the past to prepare and execute a land use plan to streamline systematic development of land uses in the entire planning area.

Sex ratio (M/F) of Savar Upazila was 1.13 in 1981 that is 121 males for every 100 female, that increased to 1.21 in 1991. The data for 2001 could not be presented as population figures have not yet been published by the Census Commission. Urban-Rural Demographic Split In 1981 the urban population of the Savar Upazila constituted only 8.50% of the total population of the Upazila. In 1991 BBS declared the entire Savar as urban. This happened as BBS declared the entire Savar as a part of Dhaka Statistical Metropolitan Area or Dhaka Mega City. The Upazila is being urbansied fast owing to expansion of manufacturing and real estate development by commercial

housing companies, development of residential accommodation and promotion retail activities, there exists still large areas under farm use.
Driving Forces Behind Urbanization and its Impact There has been 56.19% population growth in between 1991 to 2001 in Savar. This has been the result of expansion in manufacturing activities in the area owing to locational advantages and induced by growth of Export Processing Zone in the area.The increase in population has also led to increased density. Demographic transformation has led to a number of impacts in the study area as briefed below. i. ii. Without planning settlements are developing in sprawl. Most new areas are devoid of basic municipal services-water supply, drainage, waste management, open space recreation facilities, etc. iii. There is no urban local government in large part of the planning area to provide municipal services. Savar Pourashava occupies only a small part of the study area, while spatial development is almost everywhere in the study area. iv. Filling up of natural drainage channels and flood zone is likely to pose serious threats for flood as the run off area will increase due to urbanization. Details of socioeconomic status of the planning area are given below: a. Family Size Though, there are differences between a household and a family size, the data gathered from the study area provided information only about household. As can be seen from the Table-2.3 the average household size in the entire study area has been found to be 4.5 persons.

About 29 percent of the families consist of 4 member family. Only 1.84 percent families have 10 members. About 73 percent of the families contain below 3 to upper 6 members. It is also an indication that currently people prefer to have smaller families that is they adopt family planning measures to keep the family size under control
b. Age and Sex Composition The distribution of household population in the designated area by five-year age groups, and sex is shown in Table-2.4. The population is roughly equally divided into males and females. There are more people in younger age groups than older groups because of high fertility in the past. Table-2.4: Percentage Distribution of the Study Area Population by Age and Sex Age in Years 0-4 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-24 25-29 30-34 35-39 40-44 45-49 50-54 55-59 60-64 65+ Total Male N 1251 1483 1455 2196 1582 1917 1615 1550 1312 1122 1007 730 599 791 18610 % 6.72 7.97 7.82 11.80 8.50 10.30 8.68 8.33 7.05 6.03 5.41 3.92 3.22 4.25 100.00 N 1202 1311 1399 2147 1293 1762 1418 1309 1115 921 721 495 428 501 16022 Female % 7.50 8.18 8.73 13.4 8.07 11.00 8.85 8.17 6.96 5.75 4.50 3.09 2.67 3.13 100.00 N 2463 2799 2868 4365 2868 3689 3038 2858 2425 2040 1718 1213 1019 1278 34643 Total % 7.11 8.08 8.28 12.60 8.28 10.65 8.77 8.25 7.00 5.89 4.96 3.50 2.94 3.69 100.00
There is also a sign of slight decline in fertility in recent past (Figure-2.1). The overall age composition of study area population appears to be somewhat different from the national scenario and this is perhaps because of rapid industrialization in the area. About 36% of the population are younger than 19 years of age, 28% have age between 20-34 years, 21% are of age 35-49 years, about 8% are in age 50-59 years and nearly 7% are of age 60 years or older. The age distributions of male and female population are almost identical. However, the proportion of male in the older age groups appears to be slightly higher compared to female.

c. Religious Status Religious composition of the study area population has various implications for area planning and overall welfare of the study area population. Data collected through the socio-economic survey are given in the Table-2.5. Over 92 percent people of the study are belongs to the Muslim community followed by 6.70 percent Hindu, 0.98 Christian and only 0.15 Buddhist. This is observed that number of Hindus have reduced in the country between 1991 and 2001 as many of them have migrated to neighbouring India.

Figure-2.5: Percentage of the study area household by income and expenditure Table-2.8 and Figure-2.5 shows that the households with monthly income of more than Tk. 8000 spend less amount than income and these households are able to save some money. But the situation is opposite among the low income group households. About 29% households have monthly income less than Tk. 4500, 52% households have monthly income between Tk. 4501 and Tk. 10,000, and 19% have monthly income more than Tk. 10,000. As regards monthly expenditure, 26% household expends Tk. 4500 or less, 60% can afford to spend Tk. 4500-10,000, and about 14% spend more than Tk. 10,000 for a month. A study (1996) sponsored by Planning Commission and ADB set poverty line for the poor at monthly income/expenditure at Tk. 3500. Taking account of inflation and cost of living, if current poverty level is set at Tk. 4500, then 29% households of the survey area are below the poverty line in terms of income.

g. Source of Income Table-2.9 shows percentage of households by sources of income. A household receives income from more than one source. Salary and business area dominate sources of the household monthly income of study area. In the survey area, salary accounts for about 30% of all household incomes, followed by business (29%). Income from agriculture accounts for around 19%, daily wage 10%, house rent 13%, livestock 8%, property 4% and foreign remittance 5%. Some households also derive income from handicrafts, fisheries, and other sources.

a. Residential Areas Settlements are found particularly in areas of higher elevation following linear pattern along side the roads. Savar Paourashava (SPZ 17.1) is the oldest and the most built up part of the study area. Apart from core Savar in most areas new residential developments are coming up as dispersed settlements in high lands. The trend of settlement growth is greater in areas close to the main road and industrial concentrations. Naljani, Itahata and Bhegra, Surabari, Gobinmda Bari, Dakshin Panishail, Diabari, Puba baghbari of Gazipur have major residential concentrations. In Savar Upazila part of the study area major residential concentrations are in, Savar, Badda, Genda, Tetuljhora, Polashbari, Banshbari, Baipail, Dhalpur, Rajashan, Pathalia. Dispersed settlements make provision of services difficult. About 17 percent of the study area is occupied by residential land use including rural homestead. There are some public sector housings in the planning area that include, Cantonment residential colonies, Radio Colony, Jahangirnagar University Staff Housing, PATC Staff Housing, Agrani Bank Residential Area, etc. However, there are also large numbers of private commercial and cooperative housing estates in the planning area that are yet to be developed.

About 48.23 percent out of about 17 percent of the built up part of the study area is occupied by residential use, the highest land use of the SPZ 17.1.
b. Industrial Areas The Group-E is important for industrial development in the outskirts of Dhaka City. Cheap flood free land along with good communication and physical infrastructure offer excellent opportunity for industrial development in the area. It is observed from physical features survey that, the highest numbers of industries (48 percent) are found in SPZ-17.3 as the zone covers about 45% area of the study area. The second highest numbers (34 percent) of industrial establishment take place in SPZ17.1 (Dhamsona). The establishment of Dhaka Export Processing Zone (DEPZ) and availability of relatively flood free land in this zone make the area more attractive for industrial development. These industries are developed to support the EPZ as backward linkage industries.
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
Though large number of industries establishment are found in the study area, most of them are scattered. The total coverage is only 78135 acres (excluding EPZ) that is very much insignificant compared to the total planning area. The main industrial agglomerations are observed in Savar, Karnapara, Savar (SPZ-17.1) and Baipile, close to EPZ (SPZ-17.2), Kulsur, Dakshin Shayampur, Tetuljhora, Kandi Baliarpur of Hemayetpur area. The most critical problem about industrial development is that they are growing almost anywhere without having any control over them. This is likely poise serious threat to environment in future.
Though large number of industrial establishments has been found in the study area, the total coverage is only 781.35 acres (excluding EPZ) that is very much insignificant compared to the total study area. The main industrial agglomerations could be observed in Karnapara, Savar (SPZ-17.1) and Baipile, close to EPZ (SPZ-17.2).
c. Commercial Areas Commercial developments are found in major activity areas. Commercial area occupies only 297.84 acres of land constituting 0.41 percent of the total area that includes group of road side retail shops, hats, bazaars, wholesale markets etc. The major problem about commercial development is that they develop as chain along road. Without have adequate provision for road width or parking the roads become too congested for smooth movement of vehicular traffic and pedestrians. Major shopping malls are found in Savar and Baipail and along the main road around EPZ and Baipail-Tongi Road.
d. Amenities and Services It is ascertained from the study that there is serious shortage of play field and parks for local level active and passive recreation. Absence of open space particularly affects children and the adolescent classes in terms of growth of their body and mind. Adolescent devoid of playing areas are often found to get involved in drug addiction and anti social activities. A variety of uses like bank, health facilities, power sub station, treatment plants, engineering workshops, hotel, restaurant, police, fire brigade and like are included in this category of land use. It has been found from the survey that service activities occupy 112.16 acres of land in the project area.
e. Non Urbanized Area Within the planning area major land coverage is non-urbanized. They are either low lying vacant land or belong to agriculture, and or water body. The total area of the project area belonging to nonurbanized category constitutes over 75 percent of the total planning area. So there are still vast opportunities for urban expansion in the area. But urbanization has to proceed with land filling to raise it above flood level which is costlier. Vacant lands are mostly fallow lands where no agriculture works are done due to indiscriminate land filling and for want of irrigation water after the monsoon.

2.1.4 Infrastructure a. Circulation Network Geographically, most of the study area lies above flood level and as a result road is the prime means of movement. Two major highways pass through the study area connecting Dhaka with the northern and north-western districts of the country. These are, Dhaka-Paturia/Aricha Highway connecting north-western districts; and Dhaka-Mymenshingh Road leading to northern districts. Besides, DhakaAshulia Road links Dhaka-Tongi Road with Nabinagar-Chandra Road connecting Dhaka-Tangail and Hemayetpur-Singair Road connects Dhaka with Manikgaj through Singair Thana as regional highway. Within the study area there are R-1 and R-2 roads connecting the vast rural areas with the district headquarters through Thana and union headquarters. It has been observed from the physical infrastructure survey that the study area served by about 3190 km of road in which 42 km of national highway, 13 km of regional highway and 3135 km of local and other roads. The highest part of the national (7.96 km) highway passes through Pathalia Union followed by Savar Pourashava (7.17 km) and Dhamsona Union (5.36 km).

Over 64 percent of roads in the study area have been found katcha or unpaved (Table-2.12). Bituminous and HBB roads almost equally share with rest of the study area road length. The study area accommodates two national highways. One connects Dhaka with south-western region of Bangladesh through Paturia Ferry Ghat and the other highway links the capital city with northern districts through Uttara-Ashulia-Chandra-Tangail-Jamuna Bridge. Nabinagar-Baipail (EPZ) Road links both the highways. The total of bituminous roads in the study area stands at 572.86 km.

The highest lengths of bituminous road (152.83 km) have been found in Savar Pourasva area which is the central part of the study area that accommodates a considerable length of DhakaAricha/Patuaria national highway. The Savar Pourashava shares about 14 percent of the paved road. Over 38 percent of the HBB roads fall in the Savar Pourashava. Table-2.12 shows the details of road length according to type.

Land Ownership and Land Value
Household survey shows that over 81% of the families became owner of their landed property through the law of inheritance. Only 1.11% received their land through the means of gift, while 16.72% became owner of land by means of purchase. Due to rapid invasion of urbanization and consequent higher land value the native inhabitants are selling out their farm land to the new comers. Table-2.13 gives details about the source of ownership pattern.

Land value in the project area depends on the location and accessibility. Land value is changing everyday and a sharp increase of land value has been recorded in the recent times. Due to the advance progress of Industrial agglomeration, land value of the planning area has been increasing rapidly. This has also resulted in the further fragmentation of large agricultural plots. At the same time, difficult and expensive irrigation facilities has also led land owner to convert their agriculture land to industrial establishment, which is also one of the major reasons for the increment of land value. Land value in Savar area ranges from Tk 10 lac to Tk 15 lacs per Katha depending on location and accessibility.
2.2 Expected Development

2.2.1 Population The current section makes projections of expected future population of the planning area and the likely economic growth to take place.

The density of population in Savar Upazila was 935 persons per sq.km in 1981 that increased to 4611 persons in 1991 and changed to 7302 persons per sq.km in 2001. Over a period of 20 years the density increased by 493 percent. In Dhaka City Corporation the density of population stands at 19,565 persons per sq. km (2001). It means that Savar has still enough room to accommodate large number population. According to 2001 population statistics the density of population per acre in the planning area was 6 persons, while in per sq.km the density was 1482 persons. Savar Paurashava

Owing to surrounding low land peripheral expansion was difficult in this union. The area developed as compact settlement. Details of density are shown in Table- 2.15.
2.2.2
Economic Activities
As mentioned earlier, due to its, high flood free land, cheap land price and good communication with the core Dhaka, Savar is highly preferred by the potential investors in industries. DMDP anticipated a huge growth around DEPZ and over the years it happened so. With the establishment of second DEPZ in the same area further spatial growth is expected. The spatial growth thrust comes from the initial growth of backward and forward linkage industries based on activities in DEPZs. Many investors have purchased land for development of their factories who are waiting for the right time to make investment. It is expected that with sworn in of the new political government local and foreign investment will be pouring in the study area. Dhamsona and Ashulia are the most potential areas of new investment in industrial ventures, as because of the economies of scale. Development of housing areas by real estate companies is further accentuating the growth possibilities in this area. Agglomeration of new population will lead to the growth of services enterprise to serve the local people. Particularly, huge employment is expected to be generated in the informal sector. The other pockets where expected economic growth is likely occur to are, Old Savar and its surroundings, Karnapara and HemayetpurHaridhara Industrial area. These areas already have industries which likely to expand further by taking advantage of the economies of scale. The growth of industries and housing will lead to investment in the commercial sector.
2.3
Development Problems
Substantial part of the study area is devoid of infrastructure required to serve this rapidly growing suburb of mega Dhaka. The area is particularly deficient in physical infrastructure, like, standard road network, piped water supply, drainage and waste management. Following is a brief description of available social and physical facilities in the area. 2.3.1 Hydrology (Drainage and Flooding)
River System The Detailed Area Plan (DAP) boundary is surrounded by the distributaries of the BrahmaputraJamuna River system: the Bangshi River, the Dhaleswari River, the Balu River and the Lakhya River. These are peripheral rivers of Metropolitan Dhaka. On the other side, the Turag River and the Buriganga River are distributaries of the Brahmaputra-Jamuna River passing through the central part of Dhaka Metropolitan area from north to south.
The land level ranges between (+) 15.00m and (-) 2.00m with respect to PWD. Substantial part of the study area is geographically a part of Madhupur Tract. Such lands are characterized by high, undulated land surface with red soil, criss crossed by flood plains and the level of land surface exhibits greater than gentle slope. The Bangshi River which took from the Old Brahmaputra River has
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
been closed in early 1970s, presently acts almost entirely as drain for run off of Modhupur Tract. However in downstream it meets with Fatikjani a distributary of the Jamuna River. Further downstream majority discharge of the Bangshi River flows into the Turag River and with smaller flows into the Old Bangshi. The Turag River meanders through a fairly narrow defile between higher laying Modhupur country. Passing through the boundary of Konabari Union and Basan Union of Gazipur, the Turag River still remains meander but widens. While passing through the boundary of Basan and Kasimpur it straightens and widens more and remains straight down to Ashulia. At further downstream, the Turag River then no more straight. The Tongi Khal takes off from the Turag River and the Karnatali River links the southern Bangshi River with the Turag River at Amin Bazar. The Turag River flows along the westerly boundary from north to south of Detailed Area Plan (DAP) Project Group-E starting from Basan passing Kashimpur, Yearpur, Ashulia, Biralia, Kaundia and ending at Amin Bazar. The river has low bed slope, both sides of the river plain is low and deeply inundated annually by normal flood. In fact its flood plain acts as a flood water storage area. The Bangshi River that passes along the western boundary is well defined and its easterly bank is mostly free from flood except near Paithali where the river plain is low and inundated annually by normal flood.
Annual Flooding Flooding of the Detailed Area Plan project area of Group-E might occur from 3 sources (i) direct rainfall (ii) direct overland spillage from the boundary major rivers like the Jamuna and Old Brahmaputra and (iii) over bank spillage from the internal regional rivers, the distributaries of the Jamuna and Old Brahmaputra River. It is possible for each phenomenon to occur separately or in combination with any other. During monsoon season from June to October the predominantly high water levels in the Jamuna and the Old Brahmaputra river coupled with the high water levels in the regional rivers conveying spills from the Jamuna River, prevents the withdrawal of excess rain water from the internal flood plains. As long as the commanding water level in the boundary rivers remain high, the levels in the regional rivers also remain high and the removal of water, or transfer through, from the region is severely inhibited. Savar area always suffered flooding caused by overflow of river water called the external flooding. Due to topographical reason this area never suffered from internal flooding.
Drainage System The drainage of Detail Area Plan project area takes place at 4 levels, the boundary river system (primary), the regional river system (secondary), the natural khal system (tertiary) and depressed land system (quaternary), the mechanism by which the region drain relates directly to this hierarchical system and its interconnection.
The mean annual rainfall experienced in Savar region amounts to some1931mm, occurring predominantly over a period of 7 months from April to October. The excess precipitation, after evaporation and infiltration accumulates first in the depressions, until these have been reached their
2-21
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
capacity. Gradually the extent of inundation increases until the small khals, which link the depressions, begin to flow.
During monsoon season the high water levels in Boundary Rivers coupled with the high water levels in the regional rivers prevents the withdrawal of excess rain water from the internal flood plains. On recession of the Boundary Rivers the regional rivers can begin to discharge more efficiently and on their recession, the internal drainage begins to function. Hence the key to the drainage of the study area lies in the prolonged influence of the high river levels in the Boundary Rivers as well as the regional river levels.
Destruction of High Value Agricultural Land Flood free land close to Dhaka has already been developed. The Project area of Group-E, Simulia Union of Joydevpur Thana and Basan Union, Kashimpur Union, Kayaltia Union, Dhamsona Union and Pathalia Union of Savar and Savar Poura area are some 25km from central Dhaka to the northwest, predominantly flood free and suitable for development is still available. But these land has been found as high value agricultural land by the Soil Survey Department, though the land owners do not use them for agriculture. These land are suitable for growing vegetable and fruits and not paddy as they are higher in elevation and can not hold water, as cultivation is expensive in these lands the farmers set these lands aside as fallow lands. But much of these high value lands have been destroyed due to development. New investors in manufacturing and housing are attracted to these lands as they are free from flooding.
Absence of Drainage Network and Encroachment of Natural Drainage System Before the urban invasion started in the planning area, there was a natural drainage system in the planning area that drained out the excess rain water during monsoon and saved the area from flooding. Almost entire planning area is without any drainage network, while rapid urban growth is being taken place everywhere. This is posing a serious threat to new settlements by waterlogging. Since most natural drainage systems are being filled up by new land owners rainwater will become clogged at certain places causing water stagnation and flooding. There is no drainage development plan for the planning area undertaken by LGED or Water Development Board. Local drainage is hampered due to non-existence of urban local government. With the rapid urbanization some of the natural drainage systems have already been filled up by new developers, at other places the land owners by the side of state owned water courses encroached into the drainage system. This tendency has caused the drainage network to squeeze down reducing their capacity to drain out enough water. Many of these natural drainage system still exist which must be protected to save the area from flood vulnerability. Encroachment of the Bangshi, the Turag and Karna rivers is alarming.
2.3.2
Geological Fault
Geological fault lines have been considered in DAP and development restriction in fault line areas would be followed as stated in DMDP Urban Area Plan Volume-II, (Part-3, Interim Planning Rules), page # 2. It has stated that Structures above 2 storeys situated within 500 meters of a known
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
geological fault is not allowed unless built to the BNBC standards for Seismic Zone 3 (BNBC Section 6 Chapter 2, 2.5).
2.3.3
Spontaneous Development
Sprawl development is a major spatial feature of the study area. New settlers and investors in industrial concerns are indiscriminately buying land almost anywhere and building their establishments in indiscriminately. Hardly any new structure has approval from RAJUK, the authority for giving construction approval.
Development in Flood Flow Areas Some major land filling projects have been executed within Savar south flood plain including within Turag river flood flow zone. Land filling within flood flow zone is reducing the area of Flood Flow Zone as such the storage capacity of flood water. Haphazard land filling increasing the frictional surface and further reduces the velocity of flow. As a consequence the water level in flood flow zone is increasing and relatively high lands adjacent to flood plain are going under water and causing prolonged flooding. Land filling here and there and along transverse direction to flow is creating pockets of Flood Flow Zone and permanent problem of drainage congestion.
2.3.4
Transportation
a. Road: Communication network plays very important role in development of settlements. Houses and other establishments always prefer road side lands to have easy access. Roads in the planning area are developing without having any standard and plan. As a result, narrow roads with tortuous pattern are common. New houses and industrial structures are cropping up along these sub-standard roads. This is likely, to poise traffic movement problems in the future when development becomes denser.
Deficiency in infrastructure and services is one of the major critical problems of the planning area. The reasons for such deficiency is many and varied and are linked with development management capacity of the concerned public sector development agencies, non-availability of resources and appropriate decision making process. Major deficits in infrastructure include, - road, bridge and culvert, - power, water and gas network.
The entire area lacks systematic and planned road network. No road network plan was ever drawn up for this high intensity area. As a result sub-standard and ill designed roads are being developed spontaneously on community efforts. If this trend continues, in near future unplanned settlements like unplanned areas of Dhaka will soon develop here. Due to high demand for land by a fast growing economy, rapid development is taking place in the area without considering the suitability, adequacy and quality of road network. Since the investors have little or no option, they are forced to choose
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
lands on narrow and low standard roads. Many existing roads have been found not properly served by standard bridges and culverts that poise as impediments in smooth movement of vehicular traffic.
b. Conflict of Drainage and Waterways with Road Network The Group-E area has vast linear shaped flood flow and sub-flood flow areas passing from north to south by the eastern periphery of the study area. These low lands get filled up with water during monsoon and serve as drainage path for vast water coming from the north as well as retention area of accumulated rain water. During dry season, however, they get dried up and used for farming. Only the narrow and meandering permanent water courses remain with water. In the wake of urbanization there will be need for new roads to be built across this flood flow areas to connect Savar and other activity areas with the Dhaka core. Building of roads across these lands in conventional manner by land filling would come in conflict with the free flow of flood water during monsoon. This might put the metropolitan area as well as the settlements in the Group-E area into flood risk. Because the obstruction in the flood flow path will overflow the retention area and submerge the surroundings. To reduce this vulnerability, DMDP proposed some principles for road alignment. It recommended, Roads have to be aligned in such a way (and when necessary khals and ponds have to be somewhat remodeled) that as much as possible of the land along the roads can be put to high value uses, with kahls and ponds in peripheral position, roughly halfway between a pair of parallel roads (the Banani lake between Gulshan and Banani is a good example of this principle, also the Gulshan lake between Gulshan and Badda). However, there can be exception, where road and canal run parallel to each other. In this case canal can serve as reserve space for later expansion of the road. The report also welcomes roads and drainage networks with waterways. In case of the planning area the Tongi-Ashulia-EPZ Road has already created such a conflict with the existing flood flow zone. To avoid any clash with flood flow zone, utmost attempt has been made by the consultant to avoid eatwest roads. Wherever it became essential for any such road, it is suggested to build culverts and bridges across the water channels to allow free flow of water as much as possible.
c. Transportation Problem versus Urban Land Use The plan would not be successful if there is no balance between landuse and transport planning. Many of the transportation problems is emanating from the conflict in the landuse. It is found that congestions are created due to the landuse along the side of the major roads. Moreover, linear development along the major road substantially reduces the efficiency of roads. Roads are also constructed with complete disregard to the projected generation of trips. Conflicting land uses also result in unnecessary congestion which could be otherwise avoided. Commercial landuse should not be allowed along the major roads as they generate traffic congestion.
2.3.5
Utility
A key issue related to the sustainable development of planning area is accessibility to basic infrastructure facilities like, water, power, sewerage, drainage and solid waste management. The rapid and almost uncontrolled growth of population has put these facilities under severe pressure, and mainly of them is highly deficient. Even a cursory analysis of the present state of affairs,
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
infrastructure problems could become a cause of crisis. Sanitation and solid waste management are regional affairs but water supply, power and drainage are inter-regional issues. Thus critical need of advance action and arrangement is required for the adequate provision of physical infrastructure. For each component a broad augmentation plan to meet the projected requirement is essential.
a. Electricity Electric supply is available in the planning area but the supply is not sufficient in relation to demand especially in rural and industrial parts of the planning area.
b. Water Supply There is no water supply network, not even in Savar Pourashava. Each household or enterprise has to arrange its own water procurement system. The usual method is hand tube well. As the ground water is easily available it is easy to get water by sinking a tube well. But such indiscriminate and uncontrolled extraction of ground water might endanger the source and affect supply to future users. Because the ground water table does not get replenished regularly to the extent it is emptied.
c. Gas Supply Gas supply network is available in the Savar Pourashava area but it is absent in rural parts of the planning area.
d. Sanitation Proper system for drainage of waste water and hygienic toilets are essential components of modern living in urban area. The area lies outside WASA. However, 38% households have reported of having pucca toilet system, 44% semi-pucca and 40% households katcha system. More than 6% reported of not having any toilet at all. Having some kind of sewerage system is higher in municipal area (98%) as compared with 90 % in other area. Regarding ownership of toilets, 76% households reported of having their own toilets, 23% have joint ownership and about 1% households use community toilets.
e. Drainage The drainage area of Savar is 56.52sq. km. The existing drainage system in general consists of local open khals connected to the regional rivers. There are limited numbers of these connections and discharging points along the length of the regional river length, rather than uniformly distributed. In fact existing system is inadequate for draining storm water. It is further limited by siltation, dumping of solid wastes and encroachment in the form of local roads. The embankment and the sluice gates of the Turag prevent spreading of flood water of Turag River to wards left. Moreover, the pumping stations are discharging storm drainage water during flood season. In fact 60.84 sq.km area of Turag River left bank drainage area of Group C and 13.24 sq.km area of Tongi west zone drainage area of Group A discharging its excess water to the flood plain of Group E. But the internal flooding will increase with densification of population, industries, institutions, increase in road networks etc., In order to protect the land from flooding and eliminate drainage problems and to enhance the security of people in the study area, an optimum flood protection and drainage improvement plan, comprised of either non-structural or structural measures, is essential.
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
f. Solid Waste Disposal Because of particular consumption and production pattern urban land uses usually produce more waste than rural land uses. Study area is marked by the rapid growth of industries, mostly indiscriminate. These industries produce many different kinds of wastes. As there is no local government (except Savar Pourashava) these wastes are littered almost everywhere polluting the environment. There is no dumping site or transfer station, as a result waste is dumped everywhere. Solid waste collection system is available only in Savar Pourashava and collected wastes are dumped in DCC landfill site which is located in Banagram union beside Dhaka-Arich Highway.
2.3.6 Amenities and Services a. Active and Passive Recreation Active Recreation Active recreational facilities furnish opportunities for the physical growth of human body by actively engaging muscles in various games. Playground, stadium and playing fields are the facilities that offer such recreation. The demand for playgrounds in recent time has greatly increased due to the rapid development of organized athletic games. The planning area seriously lacks public recreational open spaces particularly playfields. Absence of open space particularly affects children and the adolescent classes in terms of growth of their body and mind. Adolescent devoid of playing areas are often found to get involved in drug addiction and anti social activities. The playfield available in 18 schools in the area also serve local communities.
Passive Recreation Passive recreational facilities are provided to meet with needs of fresh air and enjoyment of the unspoiled nature. In congestion city areas, it is not possible for the inhabitants to secure this type of recreation and therefore, the parks should invariably be provided for the benefit of such people. Thus the open spaces in the form of parks furnish the passive type of recreational open space. The provision of open space is also lacking in the area. The available recreation and amusement parks include National Mausoleum, Nandan and Fantasy Kingdom. Since the area is is still at the develping stage there are opportunities to create parks and open space.
b. Educational Facilities There are number of educational facilities in the planning area as summarized below: i. ii. 1 public and 1 private university 2 private medical college but no public medical college
iii. School, madrasa and college etc are available in the planning area iv. There is few national level school/college Elementary schools on private initiatives are scattered allover the planning area where there are high density human settlements. They develop as per demand. But most schools lack physical facilities and quality education. The government regulatory matter in these regard is highly lacking.
2-26
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
c. Market Facilities Since most parts of the planning area are not covered by municipality, market places have not been developed in an organized manner. The existing markets are not appropriately located, not well arranged and do not have sufficient facilities. The field survey has identified 33 daily kitchen markets, 10 hats and 4 wholesale markets within the planning area. Hats sit once or twice a week and trade mostly on agro-products. The wholesale markets are located in Savar and Ashulia. Two markets are in Ashulia, the fast growing urban area, and one at Savar, by the riverside. Two hats have been found in Itahata and Jogitala and two bazaars in Joydepur chourasta and Mogorkhal in Basan union. There is one hat in Kashimpur and two bazaars in Bagbari and Gobindabari in Kashimpur Union. In Kayaltia union there is one hat in Salna and three bazaars,namely, Banglabazar, Deshipara, Tekkathora. Two bazars exist in Savar Pourashava area. One bazaar in the old part beside the Bangsi river and another bazar including retail vegetable market in the newly growing eastern part by the DhakaAricha Road. Three small bazaars have been found in Ganakbari, Palashbari and Baipail under Dhamsona Union. One hat and one bazaar exist in Nayarhat, four bazaars in Gerua, Kurgaon, Khejurtek, Nabinagar under Pathalia Union.
d. Community and Urban Facilities The quality of life in any urban centre depends upon the availability of and accessibility to quality social infrastructure. Community Facilities, which are indicated in various lands, use zones. Together, these include social infrastructure facilities pertaining to health, education, sports, socio-cultural, communications, security and safety, and etc facilities pertaining to recreation, Religious Activities, Social Congregations and Community Events, Cremation/ Burial Grounds etc. There exist significant numbers of religious facilities in the Group-E area. Community facilities like hospital/clinic, fire service station, post office, police station, power plant, and refueling station, etc. are also available. From the physical feature survey, it has been identified that there are 107 graveyards of various sizes, mostly small. Field survey identifies about only 17.61 acres of recreational open space including playfield in the planning area. Details about community facilities in Group-E area have been presented in Chapter-3.
2.3.7
Environmental Concern
Environment is a major concern in newly built up areas, particularly where industries are coming up quickly. In absence of effective control mechanism many industries are polluting environment including the local water courses, ditches and beels and even the farm lands. a. Flood Flow and Waterbodies The DMDP Structure Plan has designated huge patch of lands under flood flow and sub flood flow zone, especially in Group-E area. Flood flow zone refers to areas that are subject to flooding during monsoon. These areas are used for traveling path of flood water. Virtually all flood and sub-flood flow areas are used for agriculture. There are plenty of water bodies like pond, ditch, marshy land and khal in planning area. With urbanization and industrialization, including through this project, many ponds and ditches are being filled up by the owners to make gains on increased land value. Uncontrolled draining of hazardous waste into the water courses pollutes the water affecting fisheries and crops in the planning area. Presently there is no control as to which industry will be allowed where. Other
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
concerns include, filling of waterbodies creating risks of flooding, encroachment of kahls and rivers creating drainage congestion.
b. Pollutions Liquid effluent discharged by growing industries in planning area is a major environment concern. The liquid toxic waste is indiscriminately drained into the drainage channels that penetrate into farm land, rivers and low lying areas. The most polluting manufacturing units include textile dyeing and chemical factories and garment and knit wear factories who indiscriminately dump their trash and waste materials around the factory. Dyeing units produce hazardous wastes harmful for fauna and flora. This not only affects the living environment and ecology in general but also the local agriculture in particular. Mitigation to this problem lies in setting up effluent treatment plants in industrial areas, so that liquid waste is treated before discharging into the water system. Common effluent treatment plant can solve the problem of liquid waste management at low cost per unit of enterprise using the facility. But as most industries are scatteredly located it is difficult to set up common effluent plant. Some industries have ETP, but they hardly use the system as it raises cost of production. There is serious slack in enforcement of control regulations. The Tannery Estate being set up in south-western corner of the study area contains provision of such a common treatment plant. It is suggested to set up such plants at DEPZs and other suitable places of industrial agglomerations. A heavy/noxious industry zone has been suggested in the Kashimpur area. A waste water treatment plant can be set up there that may be shared by all the industries generating waste toxic waste water. The ministry of Industries may take the initiative for this purpose. Cost of development and operation may be realized from the beneficiary establishments in the zone. Landfill site of DCC in Aminbazar area is another
environmentally concerned establishment in the planning area. The river water will be contaminated through leaching from this landfill site and the surrounding environment would be greatly polluted.
c. Loss of Bio-diversity Savar, Ashulia and Dhamsona in Group-E area, industries are developing sporadically without treatment plant. Tannery Estate has also been proposed beside Bangshi River, so effluent treatment plant is necessary to purify industrial waste. Due to the presence of indiscriminate industries untreated industrial waste water pollutes the rivers and their tributaries, and khals. The intensity or density of commercial, industrial, and residential land uses generally directly relates to their effect on freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity. Densely developed urban areas tend to contribute more contaminants to and modify freshwater ecosystems more dramatically than suburban areas of less intense development. The location of urban development also affects the severity and character of its threat to freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity. The sprawl and haphazard urban development makes the condition more severe. Urban development tends to be more detrimental to natural resources when it displaces prime farm land, when it occurs on or near fragile ecosystems or when it occurs in areas with significant topographic relief, leading to severe erosion and sedimentation problems. Impervious surface cover such as roads, parking lots with the resultant storm water delivery, water withdrawals for use and discharge of wastewater and physical manipulation of the stream / river channel are the major elements of urbanization those are held responsible for the alteration to freshwater ecosystem and biodiversity.
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
d. Potential Hazards Groundwater is replenished or recharged through surface water seeping from land surface, streams or lakes into the ground or through precipitation percolating into the ground. For the groundwater table to stay at the same level, the amount of recharge must equal the amount of discharge. It is reprehensible that vested quarters or groups all over the planning area make offence by diminishing the arable lands, grabbing lands by filling low lying areas, encroaching rivers, lakes, khals, etc. Indiscriminate exploitation of ground water by dyeing industries is resulting in the lowering of ground water table which will have negative impact on environment It is not worth mentioning that urbanization poses a threat to our groundwater supply. But indiscriminate urban development increases the amount of impervious (nonporous) surface in a watershed. Impervious surface inhibits groundwater recharge because precipitation cannot penetrate the surface. As a result, groundwater is being gradually depleted. There is an another concern that if soil is contaminated or surface runoff is polluted, the quality of the groundwater will also be affected. Polluted groundwater and/or a diminished supply of groundwater are of particular concern where groundwater is the major source for drinking and irrigation water. With the growing industries of various kinds the risk of ground water pollution in the planning area is increasing fast. e. Health and Safety The main sources of health and safety concerns in the planning area come from degrading environmental conditions. Some of these concerns are direct and some are indirect. The direct concerns come from drinking water supply, waste management, drainage management and water pollution. Water supply in small municipal area is not safe. Proper safe water guidelines are not followed by the municipality. There is no water lab in the municipality to test water before supply through pipe. There supply lines are also breached at several places increasing the likelihood of contamination when pipes pass along waste water drains. Solid waste management in non-municipal area does not exist. Waste is dumped indiscriminately increasing the risk of disease spread. There is not provision of waste water treatment which increases the risk of water contamination leading to health risk when contaminated water is used for washing and other purposes. Liquid toxic materials from industries are polluting waterbodies. When such water is used for crop production the pollutants enter the food chain that endangers human health.
f. Controlling Instruments There are several laws and regulations by which the respective authorities could play vital role in controlling the unplanned development in the planning area. They are as follow: i. Town Improvement Act ii. Master Plan 1959 iii. Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan 1995-2015 iv. Bangladesh National Building Code, 1993 It covers administration and enforcement, general building controls and regulations, requirements for different uses, fire protection, building materials, design and services. It considers building use, density and height. v. Imarat Nirman Bidhimala, 2008 vi. Besarkari Bhumi Unnanayan Bidhimala, 2004 vii. Jaladhar Ain, 2000 etc.
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
But due to absence of application, these acts and rules have become ineffective and plan violation has become a common practice. 2.3.8 Shelter and Settlement
Owing to ineffective development control measures, indiscriminate and unplanned growth of settlements has become a common phenomenon. New areas are coming under settlements without adequate provision of infrastructure and services. On the other hand, due to rising land price it has become very difficult to provide secured shelter to the urban poor at their affordable prices. The majority of the people of the planning area are grouped in the middle and low income range and they are unable to buy land in the established urban areas. As a result, they try to find shelters in remote areas without basic services including proper access facilities. This is resulting in conversion of remote agricultural lands into settlement where living environment provides little or no basic services resulting in urban deprivation.
The present socio-economic activities going on in the study area has their quantitative and qualitative effects. The main thrust of socio-economic activities in the Group-E area comes from the three different sectors-industry, commerce and housing. There are some net quantitative and qualitative results of all these activities. Quantitative results of urban expansion come with the increase in population, settlement, commercial development and services. From 1981 to 1991 there was over 44% increase in population of Savar area, while from 1991 to 2001 the growth was 55.29%. This increase was generated largely by the growth of increasing number of industrial concerns in the area where large number of workers are employed. New employments lead to the growth of dwelling units and other services. Again services also give employment to large number of employees. In this way substantial quantitative changes occurred in the study area over the years. Qualitative effects are experienced in the form of spatial growth and deterioration of environment. Fallow and agricultural land transformation into settlement comprising housing, industry and commerce are the major qualitative changes. Environmental consequences arise from encroachment of natural drainage path, indiscriminate dumping of solid waste, pollution of water and soil by toxic discharge from industries.
2.3.9
Lack of co-ordination among Public Sector Agencies
There is lack of coordination among different public sector agencies about development management and service provision in following areas.
a.
Duplication of Efforts
Some agencies are performing same tasks without any intervention by the government. For building plan approval East Bengal Building Construction Act 1952 empowers Urban Development Agencies of divisional cities and pourashavas. But in study area both, pourashava and RAJUK approve building plans. These create serious problems as pourashavas in most cases take a liberal attitude towards building construction rules while giving construction approvals. Both Water Development Board and LGED undertake drainage and flood control schemes, sometimes without any coordination among them. LGED constructs rural roads within RAJUK area without consulting RAJUK.
Chapter-2
Final Plan Report
b.
Disregard of Approved Plan
According to Building Construction Rules any construction must be preceded by approval from the RAJUK. But most public sector agencies do not seek permission either from RAJUK or from local pourashava. This is sheer violation of law by public sector agencies. Besides, most individual and real estate developers violate their approved plans during construction to add additional space to their structures.
2.4
Current Public Sector Investment Program
The current public sector investment in the study area is listed below. Map-2.2 shows the location of current investment projects.
Conversion of Dhaka Aricha Road into a Four Lane Road The RHD is engaged in a project to gradually convert the Dhaka-Aricha Road into four lane highway in order to increase road efficiency and avert accident. The first phase of the work has already been completed from Hemayetpur upto Nabinagar with the extension of edges on both sides and construction of a road divider.
Tannery Estate at Harindhara Bangladesh Small & Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) under the Ministry of Industries is developing a Tannery Estate in Harindhara area of south-west Savar to rehabilitate the tanneries agglomerated at Hazaribagh of core Dhaka. The project is nearing completion.
Truck Stand at DEPZ Area Government is constructing a truck stand near DEPZs at Dhamsona to streamline haphazardly parked trucks in the area. This will free the area from traffic congestion caused by indiscriminately parked trucks.
Foot Over Bridge near DEPZs During factory opening and break hours in DEPZs thousands of female workers cross NabinagarChandra Road. This creates severe traffic congestion regularly on the road disrupting vehicular traffic movement. Government is constructing a foot over bridge across the road near DEPZs to ease traffic movement.
2.5

Chapter- 3 DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROPOSAL

3.0 Introduction
Chapter3 of the explanatory report describes the development plan proposals in Group-E area. The Chapter starts with DMDP policies as upper level frameworks followed by a review of the policies in the light of prevailing situations. Next, planning principle, standards and strategies have been set. Lastly, sectoral development proposals have been put forward under the DMDP policy frameworks. The chapter also describes landuse zoning provisions and makes comments on some critical issues of the Structure Plan.
3.1
Abiding Policy Frameworks of Higher Level Plans
In this section the upper level frameworks of the current plan that is DMDP Structure Plan and Urban Area Plan policy proposals have been discussed. The policies have been discussed on sectoral basis. In the transport sector the strategies proposed by the approved Strategic Transport Plan (STP) for Dhaka have also been discussed as upper level framework.
Structure Plan Policies The DMDP Structure Plan and Urban Area Plan (1995-2015) are the legally approved higher level planning frameworks of the current DAP project. Relevant Structure Plan Policies Flood Flow Zone Policy RS/3 Land development, within the designated flood plain areas will be controlled in order to avoid obstructions to flood flow, which might otherwise result in adverse hydraulic effects, for example, the rise of flood water levels and changes in flow direction. Rural and Special Area Policy RS/5 Flood Retention Ponds control will be maintained over the areas in order to ensure that they remain capable of fulfilling their primary function of water storage at times of flooding. Urban Area Policy UA/6 for New Urban Land growth promotion seeks to initiate and coordinate a range of measures aimed at stimulating and promoting the rate of development in the designated areas of the urban fringe. Urban Area Policy UA/7 Infrastructure Initiatives seek to promote, through the DMDP Structure Plan, an orderly sequence of new area development by means of mutually reinforcing and coordinated public sector investment programs, spearheaded by drainage, flood protection and transport development. Sectoral Policy SE/4 advocates for an integrated policy of the incremental environmental upgrading and relocation, where necessary, of Dhakas polluting industries, in a manner commensurate with sound environmental practice and cost-effectiveness. Infrastructure Policy IN/2 promotes for incremental network development in the transport sector in order to conserve resources and being responsive to proven demand for the service being offered. Special Area Policy RS/6 - A number of special uses, with extensive land allocation, are located outside the main urban area but within DMDP area. The DMDP Structure Plan

Final Plan Report
suggested for special treatment. For a variety of reasons theses special areas need to be considered to ensure that their respective functions and any future planned expansion, is secured and unimpeded from uncontrolled urban growth or encroachment. Land Resource Optimization Policy UA/1 advocates adjusting expected increase of population and the need to maintain and develop a healthy and stimulating urban living environment, it is necessary to optimize the use of limited land and more effectively utilize the existing flood free areas of, urbanized land. Community Based Development Initiatives Policy UA/3 suggests to enhance access to land with secure tenure, and to affordable and appropriate levels of infrastructure and social community services provision for an increasing majority of the population.
Urban Area Plan Recommended Policies The ten years spanned (1995-2005) DMDP Urban Area Plan (UAP) provides interim mid-term strategies for the development of urban areas within the RAJUK administrative boundary. The validity of UAP, though expired in 2005, it has been extended through a gazette notification. The UAP, through its explanatory report, resource maps, interim management report, interim planning rules, and urban area plan map provides guidelines for planning and development control of the entire RAJUK area. The following sections make a review of the Urban Area Plan proposals made for the SPZs that make up the Group-E area.
Spatial Planning Zone wise (SPZ) Recommendations SPZs were designed by dividing the entire Structure Plan area into 26 zones for the purpose of detailed planning. The current study area of Group-E shares four of these Spatial Planning Zones (SPZ), namely, Spatial Planning Zone-16: Northern Fringe, Spatial Planning Zone-17.1: Savar, Spatial Planning Zone-17.2: Dhamsona,
Spatial Planning Zone-16: Northern Fringe (DMDP Urban Area Plan, Volume-II, Page # 75) UAP Recommendations: The zone is likely to maintain its present status for many years. As such the authority should discourage development and keep its urban infrastructure development to its minimum.
Spatial Planning Zone-17.1: Savar (DMDP Urban Area Plan, Volume-II, Page # 76) UAP Recommendations: Detailed Area Plan is required to review the RAJUK development plan for the area and to see a better integration of the presently planned development in the zone. Development should be steered towards the established areas rather than sparsely to make delivery of utility services easy and cost effective. Linear development should be discouraged to contain the urban areas in manageable limits in view of the resource constraints. Cost of the off site provision should be realized from the private developers of the housing estates.
3-2
Chapter-3
Final Plan Report
Spatial Planning Zone-17.2: Dhamsona (DMDP Urban Area Plan, Volume-II, Page # 77) UAP Recommendations: Detailed Area plans should be prepared to guide the development of the zone in a planned way. As the zone is expected to gradually develop into a major industrial/commercial area funds should be made available for essential infrastructures and utility services to enable corresponding urbanization. A separate municipality or development board should be created for the governance of the zone and to provide guidance to public and private development. The zone should be enabled to attract investment from both local and international source.
SPZ 17.3: Flood Flow Zone West (DMDP Urban Area Plan, Volume-II, Page # 78) Actions Committed/Required The area should be enabled to function properly as flood plain and a basic rural/pisciculture zone All the development permits issued for the development for the housing should be withdrawn and no new one is needed to maintain the nature of the zone Conservation of land from rural to urban should be regulated strictly in this zone.
3.2
Planning Principles and Standards
3.2.1 Guiding Principles The following principles have been considered for making various designs under the planning proposals. The principles have been worked out in line with Structure Plan. a. That the area determined for development has to be made accessible to make the area livable and functional by providing efficient circulation system. b. Considering land constraint minimum possible land should be allocated to provide civic facilities. c. Location of civic facilities should be chosen carefully to serve maximum possible residents.
d. During designing land use category emphasis should be laid on facilitating investment through enabling easy building permission. e. Environment friendly sustainable development of the area. f. City function to develop as per major land use zones.
g. Effective drainage through minimum hindrance to Flood Flow and Sub-Flood Flow zones. h. Safe residential areas at proximity to place of work or major communication routes. i. j. k. Smooth and effective functioning of industries, specially export oriented industries. Safe yet faster connectivity. Develop to serve the surrounding hinterlands.

3.2.2
Planning Standard
Following are the standards adopted for setting the development proposals in the current plan.
Road Network While the Structure Plan recommended two categories of primary roads-main road and arterial road. Consultant proposes the following three categories of roads. The new road type will facilitate providing different categories of roads based on local requirement.
Table - 3.1: Proposed Road Standard for DAP Area SL No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Road Category Primary Road Primary Road Primary Road Secondary Road Secondary Road Secondary Road Tertiary Road Access Road Access Road Type Type-1 Type-2 Type-3 Type-1 Type-2 Type-3 Type-1 Type-1 Type-2 ROW (Meter) 51.82 39.63 30.48 24.39 18.29 12.19 9.14 7.31 6.09 ROW (Ft) 170 130 100 80 60 40 30 24 20
The following principles are proposed for development of road network in the planning area. 1. Footpath, meaning exclusive pedestrian movement paths, may be avoided because of enforcement problem. 2. A grid pattern road network with an average 1200 m distance between major roads is recommended. 3. A distance of 1500 m or 2000 m for north-south road and 2000 m or 3000 m for east-west roads is maintained. 4. Structure Plan reservation of land for bus road and light train tracks is maintained. However, the new roads have been proposed based on certain criteria. The arterial roads are aimed to create new options to link Dhaka as well as providing access to inaccessible areas outside the city. The collector roads would open up areas not having accessibility. The access roads would be created to link mainly the housing areas with the collector roads. This part of the project report, however, deals only with first two categories of roads.
Open Space DMDP (Urban Area Plan, Page 14, Part-2, Development Management Report) Urban Area Plan set standard for park as 4 acres for every 25,000 persons. For playing field no specific standard has been set for community level playing ground. However, it proposes 1 acre for primary school (one for every 15,000 population) including playing ground and 2 acres for each secondary school including play ground and one secondary school for every 23,000 persons. The DAP suggests 40% of all school
Chapter-3
Final Plan Report
premises to be earmarked for playing ground. However, there will be keen efforts to propose more open space than what would come as per standard suggested by DMDP (Table-3.1).
Community Services For providing community services like, educational institutions, open space, bazaar, police and fire station DMDP standards set in Table 2, Part 2, Development Management Report, Urban Area Plan has been followed (Table-3.1).

Preferred Development Strategies
Hydrological issues predominated the reasoning regarding the ways to develop the study area so near to the heart of the vibrant capital city. All the higher level plans and studies carried out at varying point of time converged to the same conclusion that the vital contribution of this low lying area bounded by rivers as main Flood Flow and Sub-Flood Flow zones allowing excess flood water to pass over it, must not be obstructed by any development. Despite this unanimous expert cautions, the area is experiencing a tremendous development pressure. DAP consultants for the study area has tried to work out an effective strategy to address the issue with acceptably low obstruction to the flood water to pass through. The strategies adopted for current planning exercise are as follows:
3.3.1
Drainage Non-continuous smaller rural settlements above flood level surrounded by ample low lying areas (agriculture, sub-flood flow, main flood flow) allowing uninterrupted flow of water to pass through. Minimize obstruction of flood water as is practicable. Appropriate connectivity by roads having sufficient openings to ensure needful flow of water across them as well as uninterrupted traditional water based connectivity by keeping appropriate navigation clearance at the bridges. This would help maintain the biodiversity of the area and contribute to sustainable environment in turn. Residential Development Subdivide Residential Landuse Zone based on the potentiality, trend and opportunity.

3.3.3
Adopt Neighborhood concept for new residential developments and for need assessment of community facilities. Avoid through traffic and heavy vehicles within the neighborhoods. Provision of adequate footpaths should be ensured for ease movement of residents. Ensure community facilities and services of appropriate scale at neighborhood level. Industrial Development Ensure provision of central effluent treatment plant in case of industrial clusters. Ensure own treatment plant in case of individual facilities. Relocate industries from predominantly residential zones in phases. Heavy and Noxious types of industries would be shifted in designated industrial zone; Heavy and polluting industries of category Orange-B and Red-B which are located in structure plan designated urban zone, would be shifted and its use would be shown as nonconforming. Mixed Use Development Relocate Noxious and heavy industries [red category as per DoE] to Heavy Industrial Zone within as soon as practicable. Allow the red industries to maintain their status under strict abiding conditions until shifting. Ensure adequate safety and security of the people especially of the families residing in such mixed zones. Provide sufficient quantity of wide and safe footpaths to use. Provide zebra crossing for road crossings instead of over bridge to ease the lives of major portion of low income workers likely to traverse on foot to reach their likely abode in the busy town. Ensure adequate utility services to ensure uninterrupted production. Transport and Connectivity Provide safe, adequate and comfortable pedestrian paths. Provide appropriate and effective public transport routes with sufficient number of quality public transport to carry passenger. Grade separation of National and Regional Highways from the local main roads, the latter being at grade and other two above grades. Flood Flow Zones Strictly preserve the zone area as per the higher level plans and DAP. Promote agricultural and passive recreational use of the area during dry season. Non-urban Areas Strictly preserve agriculture land from conversion into non-agricultural use. Promote traditional waterways in the low lying areas by constructing sub-merged road for dry season connectivity. Promote rural characteristics in the isolated settlements keeping mandatory buffer to make way for the flood water pass through. Water Body and Open Spaces Strictly protect canal networks as per DAP. Make Provision for open spaces and water body at the neighborhood level. Strictly protect the river fronts and open it to city dwellers for serene passive recreation. Make city scale open space with easy accessibility especially for people of densely populated areas with meager scope for open space.

Amenities and Community Facilities Consider neighborhood concept of residential development for estimating community facilities and amenities requirement. Prohibit construction of religious structure unless built on its own land. Relocate unauthorized religious structures from river and road right of way to safe guard greater interest of the people specially the city dwellers. Evacuate unauthorized structures and uses from road right of way to safe guard greater interest of the people specially the city dwellers. Close/relocate existing schools with highly inadequate class rooms, play field and essential facilities and gradually replace with standard one, one per 12000 populations per acre [approx. 50 acres].
3.3.10 Water Supply Private extraction by tube wells may continue in non-municipal areas where there is no piped water supply. In the long run, to make the supply sustainable projects may be undertaken to procure river water and supply after treatment. Restriction on private extraction may strictly be imposed in municipal areas. Recycling of treated wastewater with separate lines for potable water and recycled water. For this, dual pipe supply system has to be introduced in a phased manner in all the areas. Ground water recharging through rain water harvesting, conserving water bodies and controlling groundwater extraction. Groundwater extraction is to be controlled through registering boreholes and recharging according to test yields. Ground water management is to be enforced by concerned agency. Focused planning and action will be required to be taken to prepare and implement rain water as roof water harvesting schemes both with the aim of optimizing water use and ground water recharge. For this suitable mandatory provision is to be made for planning and construction of various schemes. The planning should fit together watershed management, and arrest the run-off. It should ensure the conservation of natural valleys, water bodies and aquifers. The concepts of zero run-off drainage, with retention ponds, sediments traps and balancing lakes should be adopted, with a segregated wastewater disposal system. A green network overlapping the blue network would protect the ecology of aquifers, and also provide a pleasant environment. Simple methods of site planning, which incorporate porous/semi permeable paving, drop inlet/down pipe, sediment trap, retention ponds, etc. will contribute in maintaining ground water table. One of the prime objectives of development should be to improve the quality of river-water, to secure its continuous flow and to encourage the return of aquatic life. This needs improvement of drainage, waste water treatment and pollution abatement by sewerage improvement. The surplus water during the monsoons should be retained in balancing ponds along the riverbed rather than allowing it to the downstream areas. Where the hazard of pollution exists, the minimum charge for operating permits should cover the expenses of adequate policing and controls. Mandatory performance bonds and liability insurance should pay for all damages plus any corrective measures, which might be needed.

Final Plan Report
As a governing rule, no new development, manufacturing, process or operation of any polluting activity should be permitted, which may result in the significant degradation of any water resource. The drains and waterfront can be landscaped in the form of interconnected parkways. There is no need for elaborate gardening of the greenways, but wild, simple and natural stretch by itself would be ecologically important. Such trails could be one of the cheapest forms of drainage and recreation. Water supply in new areas should incorporate separate lines one for washing, water coolers and garden taps, the second for supplying potable water. All non-residential buildings having a discharge of over 10,000 litres a day should incorporate a wastewater recycling. 3.3.11 Electricity For all establishments with floor area of more than 500 sqm, solar energy should be encouraged. Compulsory Solar Panels for public advertising, lighting in open areas, public utilities, streets, etc. As alternate mandatory arrangement during power cuts to replace generators/inverters etc. Adoption of Load Management Technique. Tariff restructuring and improved metering arrangement to minimize power thefts/losses. Private Sector Participation in different stages of Power generation, transmission and Distribution; Incentivising energy savings and use of energy efficient gadgets. Public awareness, capacity building and training. 3.3.12 Gas Supply Explore possibility of use of gas in cylinder for domestic purposes 3.3.13 Conservation of Monument and Heritage Built heritage of planning area needs to be protected, nourished and nurtured by all citizens and passed on to the coming generations. It is suggested that with the aim of framing policies and strategies for conservation, appropriate action plans may be prepared by all the agencies. These should include promotion of conservation of the civic and urban heritage, architecturally significant historical landmarks, living monuments, memorials and historical gardens, riverfront, city wall, gates, bridges, vistas, public places, edicts and the ridge. Listing of Heritage Buildings based on the following criteria: (a) The age of the building; (b) Its special value for architectural or cultural reasons or historical periods (c) Its relevance to history (d) Its association with a well-known character or event (e) Its value as part of a group of buildings (f) The uniqueness of the building or any object or structures fixed to the building or forming part of the land and comprised within the cartilage of the building. Prepare guidelines for development, redevelopment, additions alterations, repairs,
renovations and reuse of the heritage buildings. These places of interest must be marked in the map for preservation by the Department of Archaeology, Tourist Corporation and RAJUK for national interest.

Ensure facilities such as cold storage, wholesale/retail market facilities for needful commodities (fertilizer, insecticide, agro-machineries etc.) and shopping centers of regional standards to support population living in the surrounding hinterlands.
3.4
Major Infrastructure Proposals
Among the vital infrastructure supports required for the smooth functioning of urban life, the foremost is the accessibility. The physical interpretation of this requirement is an effective road network having a range of roads with proper hierarchy starting with major traffic arteries, connectors, distributors and finally down to access roads. Almost always these road networks physically house other vital utilities of urban life electricity, tap water, gas, sewerage disposal, storm water drainage and so forth so that the households and their facilities can be brought under their services. This calls for careful planning of the road sections off-setting the perennial cutting of urban roads causing tremendous misery which every citizen is aware of.
3.4.1 Transport A number of primary and collector, tertiary and access roads have been recommended for the GroupE area. Besides, widening of many existing narrow roads has been suggested. Due to vastness of the study area it is extremely difficult to go for details of access roads. The road proposals are based on review of Structure Plan and Strategic Transport Plan (STP) proposals. Some modifications have been suggested for STP proposals, while full support has been extended to the Structure Plan road recommendations. .
a. Road Development Proposals Following are the different categories of new roads proposed for development in the Group-E area.
i. Primary or Arterial Road Proposals The purpose of arterial roads is to set up regional links as well as to create bypass facilities to avoid congestion in existing major roads. The Consultant supports STP road proposals in the study area with some modifications. Instead of connecting the proposed north-south main road with NabinagarChandra Road near EPZ extending from Baliarpur point in the south, as per STP proposal, the road is proposed to be moved further north through Kashimpur and join Joydebpur-Chandra Road (13.22 km). The consultant also supports

Structure Plan proposal of C&B Road upgradation into a main road to establish an alternative eastwest link. The consultant also supports upgradation of Cantonment-Jirabo Road only as a Collector Road instead of a main road as proposed by STP. Other main road improvement proposals of STP, like, Hemayetpur-Singair Road and Hemayetpur-Harindhara Road are also supported. Map-3.1 shows the proposed road development.
ii. Secondary or Collector Road The purpose of collector road is to establish link between main road and access road. About 60 km of collector roads have been proposed in different parts of the planning area to establish link with arterial roads. The main focus of collector road is to promote accessibility in fast growing and potential urban centers and establish links with nearby arterial road and adjoining urban centers. Table-3.5 and Map3.1 shows the details of collector roads.

v. Other Road Transport Improvement Proposals Besides new road development there are some other road transport improvement proposals. These include, widening of selected existing narrow roads, service lane development on important roads and road overpass at important road crossings.
vi. Road Widening and Improvement and Establishing Missing Links The consultant proposes a number of existing roads of different categories to be improved in terms of width and surface quality. Katcha roads will be improved to BFS and HBB surface and to BC where possible. Missing links are in the first priority. Table in Annex- 3.1 shows phasing of development of new roads and widening of existing narrow roads.
vii. Service Road In the highways there should be uninterrupted movement of traffic. But local traffic moving in the highways often disrupts free movement of highway traffic. To relieve the main traffic from possible interruption the consultant has suggested service lanes on either side of BKSP-Kashimpur Road, which is a very busy road.
viii. Road Overpass at Intersection and Bridge/Culvert Road overpass has become imperative at some points in the study area. Savar bazaar is the busiest point where there is cross connection between Savar Bazar and Rajashan through Rajashan Road crossing Dhaka-Aricha Highway. The DhakaAricha Highway at Savar bazaar point is often interrupted by traffic moving eastward to Savar Bazar or westward to Rajashan. To keep the highway traffic movement uninterrupted the consultant proposes to develop an overpass the highway on Savar-Rajashan Road. Another overpass is proposed at EPZ point. At this point traffic from south turning to the industrial areas including EPZ in the east and traffic coming from the north turning to the EPZ often create interruption of highway traffic movement. There are a number of drainage channels in the planning area that will be over run by proposed roads.
ix. Transportation Facilities for the Old and the Disabled Consultant recommends some measures in the transportation sector for the old and the disabled people of the society who are often ignored and deprived. All categories of disables should be allowed to travel in buses free of charge. To ease boarding a bus by disabled and the old public buses should be parked on the footpath curb and platform of appropriate height should be built

x. Footpath and Road Side Plantation It is evident from past experience that the pedestrian traffic is given low priority in urban streets. But things should have been opposite. Pedestrians should be given the highest preference in the traffic stream as they constitute over 60% of the trips. In all secondary and tertiary roads there should be provision for footpath on both sides of the roads. This is necessary to ensure free and safe movement of pedestrians on the streets. To increase greenery, road side plantation should be made compulsory on all roads. This is necessary not only on environmental grounds but also to ensure comfort of the pedestrian traffic.
xi. Fuel and CNG Stations on Highways This has been found as a hindrance to free flow of drainage water along the road. RHD dug borrow pits along the road to collect earth and raise road level. Later on, these borrow pits turned into a continuous drainage channel. But it is found that RHD is allotting in its right of way space for setting up fuel and CNG stations on long term basis. The fuel stations, to take access to their establishment, fill up the borrow pits that hinder free flow of water creating water congestions. RHD should maintain some policies before leasing land for filling stations. A 500 ft. distance should be maintained between stations, plus a condition should be there not to block the drainage channel. RAJUK should consider all these issues before giving Landuse clearance for CNG Stations.
b. Water Transport Circular waterway around Dhaka is a good drive by BIWTA to ease traffic congestion in the city core. But it is not being handled in an appropriate way. Two landing stations have been built in Amin Bazar and Ashulia, but there is no vessel movement. The channel needs to be more widened from Amin Bazar to Ashulia to keep it navigable to accommodate vessels round the year. The bridge being built on Mirpur-Ashulia through Birulia does not have navigation clearance. The under construction bridge has to be rebuilt. To make use of the waterway route river cruise may be arranged between Amin Bazar Landing Station to Ashulia Landing Station on private initiative. This might attract tourists, particularly, during rainy season. BIWTA can float its own vessels in Badamtali Ashulia Route. If it can achieve success in carrying goods and passenger, than the private vessel owners will follow. Navigability is also required in Karnatali River connecting the Banghsi and the Turag to allow private vessels to operate round the year in this route.
3.4.2 Utility Services a. Water Supply Water supply is a responsibility of urban local government. Presently, there is only one municipality in the planning area. Since the developments in the entire planning area are much dispersed, it is not possible to arrange municipal water supply for the entire area. The consultant has suggested three municipalities in three potential urban agglomerations. Only in these areas it may be possible to provide piped water supply in future. For non-municipal dispersed urban areas DPHE may arrange water supply as an alternative. Side by side, individual property owners may also be allowed to extract ground water to meet their day to day need. To avoid depletion of ground water immediate measures should be taken to extract surface water as sustainable source of water supply. However,
Chapter-3
Final Plan Report
this would require strict control to be imposed on river side industries not to pollute the water. Harvesting of rainwater may help supplement water demand during rainy season. But this has to be popularized through drawing up motivation programmes.
b. Sanitation The people of the area will have to wait for long to have a complete sewerage network, because the Dhaka City itself does not have a total network of sewerage system still now. The system serves only about 20% of the city area.
c. Solid Waste Solid waste management will soon turn into a crucial issue as the urbanization proceeds in the planning. It is suggested to introduce CBO based house to house collection system in housing and commercial areas. In industrial areas the individual enterprises will have to make their own arrangements to transport their waste upto the transfer stations. From transfer station the waste will be transported to final dumping sites. In municipal area pourashava will be responsible for transporting the waste from transfer station to the dumping site. In non-municipal areas private parties may be engaged for doing the job. The cost of the service will be collected from the beneficiaries. Upazila Parishad may take the initiative to engage the private party for this purpose. The consultant has suggested for three waste transfer stations in DPZ 6 of the planning area covering an area of 1.23 acres of land.
d. Electric Supply Power supply is a national issue, so it will be solved on national basis. REB may extend their lines in the planning area as per their programmes. Preference should be given to potential urban and industrial areas. Street light is a function of urban local government. Since there is no local government in vast areas outside Savar Pourashava the task of street lighting in those areas will have to be borne by the PDB.
e. Gas supply Gas supply will proceed as per Titas Gas plans and programmes. It is suggested to ensure priority supply in industrial and residential areas.
3.5 Social Service and Amenities The consultant made a proposal for providing a series of social services for day to day need of the local people. These include level of education facilities, play field and park, bazaar, police outpost, civic centre and fire station, etc.

a. Education Facilities Study shows (Table-3.7) according to standard lower level education facilities like, primary and secondary schools as sufficient in number, so no new primary and secondary schools have been proposed upto 2015. But higher level education facilities are not adequate as per standard, so four additional colleges have been proposed in addition to existing. For these new educational establishments an area of 7.87 acres (3.18 ha) would be required. The consultant has earmarked an area of about 37 acres in Enayetpur,.Polashabari and Banshbari mouzas north-east of the Cantonment for developing new universities on public or private sector initiatives. According to the Bangladesh University Grants Commission minimum 1 acre of space is required for setting up a private university. Based on this standard, the space earmarked for university will be able to accommodate 37 private universities. It is suggested that RAJUK should acquire the entire land and prepare a site plan for the area where space for common facilities (like, play ground and other services) will be provided before allocation of land to applicant private universities. The space for four new colleges has been provided in two unions, three in Dhamsona and one in Pathalia. For each college an area of 2 acres (0.405 ha) have been earmarked as per adopted standard of land allocation. Apart from college the space can also be used for other lower level education facilities together with college. However, at least 40% area (34848 sft.) must be reserved as open space for active recreation of the students. In the core Dhaka indiscriminate setting up of schools have been found as a major cause for traffic congestion during peak hours of a day. To avoid this problem it is recommended that school zone should be created in the future urban area and students of the particular locality should be compelled to study in the schools of their own neighbourhood. This will help reduce long travel and congestions on streets. This can be adopted as a part of education policy. Details of location of proposed space for education facilities are shown in Map 3.2.

b. Playground and Park Recreation and open space facilities are essential parts of busy urban life. Recreation facilities can broadly be divided into active and passive recreation. Active recreation includes play field, sports ground, cultural activities, while passive recreations are, park and open space, garden, etc. The rise in disposable income of the people increases demand for leisure and recreation. Structure Plan apprehended that by the year 2015 such a trend would unlikely to occur in the planning area and the role of government in providing recreation facilities would be transferred to the private sector. The keeping this idea in view, Structure Plan advocated identifying and securing suitable land in the new priority development areas as recreational space. It is suggested to secure large tract of land as open space long before urbanization takes place and land prices escalate. Beyond the urban area the plan recommended to encourage establishing picnic spots at accessible rural locations. It also supported establishing large scale recreational open space projects like, Bhawal National Park by the Forest Department. During discussion with pourashava suggestion came about creatating new open space on some selected public land. There is an agriculture farm called Rajalakh Farm in ward No. 4 near the Dhaka-Aricha highway that includes a large pond. This was taken over by the government as an abandoned property after liberation. Pourashava proposed this site to be converted into a park keeping the water body. The consultant considers the idea acceptable, because there is acute shortage of land for open space in old Savar area. The proposed space is an agricultural farm which is not compatible with the surrounding. To implement the project, land transfer will be required through inter ministerial understanding for development of the land as a park. Savar pourashava on discussion expressed their desire to have a stadium and an auditorium. In this regard they also indicated a location for the facilities in Ward No. 1, in the north-western fringe. The area amounts to about 6 acres (2.42 ha). The consultant accepted the idea and the proposal have been integrated in plan. Open space facilities like, playground and park are highly inadequate in the study area. There is extremely high deficiency of public playfields in the fast growing urban part. The consultant fully agrees with Structure Plan view about reserving open space in the built up areas of the main city though this does not apply to the study area, except the already urbanized part of Savar. However, in densely populated areas of old Savar there is hardly any chance to apply this policy. It strongly recommends securing large open space in dispersed peripheral locations where rapid urban growth is likely. This is necessary to secure land long before urbanization and land prices escalate. Time is precious element in this process, because once the open space is lost due to urbanization it would never be possible to recover the land again. In line with this policy the consultant proposes to secure space for playground and parks with a total area of 56.36 acres. New public playgrounds in 6 unions under 4 SPZs would cover about 55.22 acres (22.35 ha). About 84 acres (33.99 ha) have been earmarked for 21 parks, where there exist no park facilities in the planning area. Please see Map-3.2
c. Bazaar A kitchen market has been proposed opposite existing pourashava wholesale market over an area of 0.49acres (0.2ha).

Chapter-3
Final Plan Report
d. Police Outpost Land has been reserved for one police outposts in Dakshin Ramchandrapur mouza and one polich barrack in Tetuljhora. A total area of 1.52 acres of land has been earmarked for this purpose.
e. Fire Station There already exist two fire stations; four new sites have been propoed at four locations where industrial growth is fast. The new locations are, Itahata of Basan Union, Barenda of Kashimpur, Sadhupara of Ashulia and Nandakhali of Tetuljhora Union. All these locations are places of growing industries and this growth is expected to expedite further in future. The proposed fire stations would be very helpful in tackling possible fire incidents in the industries in particular.
f. Civic Centre Structure Plan proposes creation of neighbourhood centre with an area of only 0.30 acre that is about a bigha and also suggested to provide one in each ward. The consultant feels that this standard is not at all suitable for the planning area. First, there are no municipal wards in the larger segment of the future urban area under the planning area except in the Savar Pourashava; second, the area suggested for a neighbourhood is too small to accommodate even the most essential urban services, like, bazaar, school, play field, and park. The consultant, therefore, has developed its own model of providing space for urban amenities by accommodating many of the Structure Plan recommendations in civic center as service centers.
There is need to creating service center or anything like that in dispersed peripheral urban areas where new impetus of urbanization is going on due to increasing productive activities in response to opening up of export markets as well as due to overspill of population from the main city. Within the planning area the DEPZs are acting as engines of growth for over one decade. With the emergence of manufacturing around DEPZs and on the Abdullahpur-Baipail Road new support activities including housing and ancillary land uses are coming up fast leading to urbanization. All these activities are taking place without any planning. As a result a chaotic situation is being created without adequate provision for physical facilities and social services including road network, water, sanitation, drainage open space.

For adopting Infrastructure Led Development Initiatives (ILDIs) as a strategy for developing peripheral urban areas it is necessary to create some service centers at suitable locations of future urban areas wherefrom basic urban services can be rendered to the area concerned, apart from creating road and other services network to connect them. These initiatives will foster and faster urbanization in the locality leading to reduction of pressure on the core city area. The consultant proposes to set up a two stage service centres, called civic centre, located at suitable distances. One will be a major civic centre located at a central position in the planning area and a number of minor civic centers located at suitable locations in different parts of the planning area. Each minor centre will accommodate space for most essential neighbourhood level services with lower scale of land allocation, while the major civic centre would serve as a higher order service centre with more facilities having greater space coverage. One major and four minor civic centers have been provided at five locations in hierarchical manner. The major civic centre contains such amenities as, stadium, central park, space for health facility, education facilities, play ground, public administration, shopping centre, mosque and eidgah, fire service and police outpost, kitchen market, graveyard and space for unforeseen uses. Minor civic centre contains space for education facilities, play ground, graveyard, and family welfare, shopping and bazaar. The major civic centre covers an area of about 80 acres, while the each minor civic center covers an area of about 15 acres. The area coverage by specific amenities has been shown in Table-3.8. The major civic centre has been placed at Bara Rangamatia, a centrally located area at Ashulia surrounded by high growth potential localities.
Flood Control and Drainage Development The following proposals have been set for flood control and drainage development. However, before making proposals, a review of upper level plan proposals and current situation have been carried out. Pourashava has prepared a separate drainage development plan with the assistance of UGIIP project of LGED. The plan comprises primary, secondary and tertiary drains for draining out waste water and storm water of the pourashava. Consultant integrates the proposed municipal drainage plan with its total drainage plan of the study area (please see Map-3.3). Flood Mitigation System In general the structural measures that can be taken are as follows:
Chapter-3
Final Plan Report
(i) (ii) (iii)
Dredging of the rivers Empoldering Regulation of flow by control structures
Dredging of Rivers The Bangshi River carries significant amount of sediment load during flood season. As it flows down stream both depth and the width of the river increases and its slope gradually decreases from 6.7cm/km to 1.5cm/km. The characteristics of the Dhaleswary River have some sort of similarity with Bangshi River in respect to sediment load. The Dhaleswari River is a distributory of Jamuna River. At bank full discharge the cross sectional area of Dhaleswari is very large and the water surface slope is very small (about 2.7cm/km). Considering the channel pattern for both Bangshi and Dhaleswari River, the present geometric characteristics of the channel seem well adjusted to the sediment yield. Both for Bangshi and Dhaleswari large volume of dredging would be required to increase significantly the flood discharge. The bed material yield during high flood season could be as large as 1 (one) million m3 during 4 (four) months from June to October. The dredging will increase the section of the reach. The velocity of flow and the sediment transport capacity of the reach will reduce. A significant part of the sediment yield would deposit in the dredged channel and a considerable maintenance requirement can be anticipated. Thus dredging will not be cost effective. The general conclusion about the river training by dredging will not be effective for lowering the flood water level as it is very difficult to maintain the design riverbed due to sedimentation problem and peculiar hydraulic characteristics of the area.
Empoldering Standard sections of polder: i. Embankment
Embankment: The standard cross sections of BWDB as applied to the existing embankments shall be adopted. Under poor sub-soil conditions foundation treatment is necessary to ensure embankment stability. The foundation treatment proposed for sub-soil is consolidation by sand drain/sand compaction, along with step by step embankment construction.
ii. Construction of Tannery Estate Protection Embankment Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) has proposed an embankment along the Bangshi River that passes through the western boundary of the Tannery Estate. Total length of this embankment is .5 km long.
iii.
Regulation of Flow by Control Structures
The Bangshi River formerly was an offtake of Brahmaputra River is closed since 1970 and now acts almost entirely as a drainoff from the Madhupur Tract. At Deopara it joined with Fatikjani River a distributary of Jamuna River. Downstream of the junction, near Kaliakoir, the majority of the Bangshi flows into the Turag River with smaller flow into the Old Bangshi River. There are two existing channels into the Old Banshi. The easterly one has a capacity of some 400 to 500 cumecs while the westerly one carries some 200 to 300 cumec. There is potential for improvement flow out of this area
Chapter-3
Final Plan Report
by increasing the capacity of the Old Bangshi. This will reduce the pressure on Turag River specially during flood season.
The Tongi Khal is an Offtake from the Turag River north to the Zia International Airport. Tongi Khal flows easterly direction to join the Balu River of Balu-Lakhaya River system.The Tongi Khal serves as a bypass to the Balu River when water level in the Turag River is high. The reverse flow also occurs. Regulation of flow between the two rivers is desirable to prevent surplus water flow from Balu to Turag that would raise the water along the city perimeter.
A river (Khal) named the Karnatali connects the Bangshi River with the Turag River. It has a similar function like Tongi Khal. Important function of this khal is to minimize intensity of flood, either by carrying discharge from the Bangshi River to the Balu- Lakhaya River system through the Turag River when level of the Bangshi River is high or vice-versa when level of the Balu- Lakhaya River is high. Regulation of flow of Bangshi River at Karnatali junction point is desirable to stop flowing water from Bangshi to Turag.
Planning Storm Water Drainage The storm water drainage system of planning area has to be developed based on the requirements up to certain future period, implemented in phases. The first phase or initial development programme has to be targeted for the next 10 years. In fact these phases have to be taken as a basis for planning and implementation considering some economic factors such as time and investment of money. During phase wise implementation process the overall development shall have to be reviewed and new problems that may arise shall have to be attended. Land acquisition to protect the water bodies has to be considered with top most priority. With the over all development and with densification of population, industries, institutions, increase in road networks etc., the acquisition of land shall be more difficult and highly expensive. In order to eliminate drainage problems and to enhance the security of people in the planning area, an optimum drainage improvement plan, comprised of either non-structural or structural measures, is essential.
Storm water drainage improvement plan may be either pump drainage system or gravity system. Pump water drainage is essential specially for poldered areas. For pump drainage area a 2 days consecutive rainfall with 5 years frequency is the design criteria for planning pumping capacity in view of technical and financial reasons. Pump water drainage system is very expensive as both investment cost and maintenance cost are very high. To compensate part of expense it is essential to provide retention ponds. The purpose of flood retention ponds are to reduce the intensity of local flooding by rainwater, within the protected areas and thus allow reduction of pumping requirements at time of maximum surface water run-off. Alternative way of improvement of storm water drainage is by gravity flow, which has no hazard, requires no maintenance.
Planning of the drainage system starts with zoning of the area based on ground elevation. Zoning is important to determine area whether gravity drainage system is feasible and where pump drainage system is required. The area above the flood water level plus 0.5m to 1.0m can be drained by gravity
Chapter-3
Final Plan Report
flow. The area below flood water level and area less than 0.5m above the flood water level cannot be drained by gravity system. A pump drainage system is required.
In Savar Thana and Kayaltia and Basan Union of Gazipur, a good percentage of land is flood free. The Danger Water Level of Savar north is 7.40m PWD and Savar south is 6.50 PWD. It may be concluded that gravity of flow storm water drainage system can be applied for this area. The drainage area of Savar phase-I and Savar phase-II are 13980 acre and 18031acre respectively. The existing drainage system in general consists of local open khals connected to the regional rivers. The existing khals of this area has been investigated for length, condition and serviceability. From the present condition almost all the khals can be operationalised. Al these khals are to be improved in order to serve the present as well as future drainage need. The improvement plan comprised the following works. i) ii) iii) iv) v) Reclamation of Khash land and fixing of ROW Resectionning of khals Widening of Khals Re-excavation of silted up and undersized khals Slope protection of khals by RCC blocks or Pitching etc.,
The above improvement works shall serve the following purpose: i) ii) iii) iv) v) Increase the velocity of flow and thus the discharge Check the scour of bed and erosion of bank Retain earth or structure along the side of the drain Reduce land acquisition problem Preserve the right of way and avoid encroachment to Govt. property
Natural Drainage Setting and Proposals for Development The present drainage trend of the planning area is aligned to east and west that is towards two main channels flowing north-south by the two edges of the planning area. On the eastern edge the river Turag and its tributaries flow from north to south. On the western edge Dhaleswari-Bangshi River flows north to south. The Karnapara river originates from the Dhalaswari river, south of Savar bazaar and flows south-east and joins the Turag near Amin Bazar. Another tributary originating from Karnapara River near Savar moves southward almost parallel to the Karnapa River and joins it again at Banagram and flows into large linear shaped flood zone and runs north-south along the Turag River that carries all the flood water from its catchment during monsoon. The flood free high lands of the study area are crisscrossed by low lying drainage channels that drain rain water into the flood plains. These drainage channels can retain water for substantial time period even after the rains that are also are used for growing paddy when water recedes. The deeper channels called khals serve as natural drainage systems round the year. The consultant proposes to retain all the existing natural drainage system. Most of these low lying lands belong to state or khas lands, so it is easier to mark them and preserve them. For the purpose of preventing encroachment the consultant will mark 5 m area on both sides of canal and rivers to prevent encroachment. This buffer zone can be developed as roads. Apart from the drainage channels, the Structure Plan delineated flood flow zone will be

strictly maintained to allow smooth flow of flood water during monsoon. This will enable free the upland settlement areas from the flood risk The present drainage trend of the planning area is aligned to east and west that is towards two main channels flowing by the two edges of the area. On the eastern edge the river Turag and its tributaries flow from north to south. On the western edge Dhaleswari-Bangshi River flows north to south. The Karnapara river originates from the Bangshi river, south of Savar bazaar and flows south-east and joins the Turag near Amin Bazar. Another tributary originating from Karnatoli River near Savar moves southward almost parallel to the Karnapa khal and joins it again at Banagram. Large linear shaped flood zone runs north-south along the Turag River that carries all the flood water from its catchments during monsoon. The flood free high lands of the planning area are crisscrossed by low lying drainage channels that drain rain water into the flood plains. These drainage channels can retain water for substantial time even after rains. They are also used for growing paddy. The deeper channels called khals serve as natural drainage systems round the year. The consultant proposes to retain all the existing natural drainage system. Most of these low lying lands belong to state or khas lands, so it is easier to mark them and preserve them. For the purpose of preventing encroachment the consultant will mark 5 m area on both sides of canal and rivers to prevent encroachment. This buffer zone can be developed as roads or vegetation.

Description of the Plan
Considering changed circumstances the consultant carried out some reshuffling in the major land use areas proposed by the Structure Plan. The new land use proposals for the Group-E area are presented in Table-3.9. Proposed land uses have been regrouped into twenty classes. The areas under agriculture and high value agriculture land, flood flow, as earmarked by Structure Plan, have been slightly squeezed due to practical reasons. Sub-flood flow zone as indicated by the Structure Plan has been omitted and distributed among rural settlement, agriculture and flood zone in order to avoid controversies regarding building permission in the zone.

The proposed land uses in the planning area have been categories into 19 classes. The details of each zone are described below.
a. Urban Residential Zone Areas of about 6879.73 acres of land or 9.16 % (Table-3.9) have been placed under urban residential use. This includes existing urban residential areas as well as potential residential areas to accommodate future urban population of the planning area with an average density of 85 ppa (person/acre). Major residential areas are located in DPZ 6, DPZ 5, DPZ 1 and DPZ 9. Please see Map-3.4.
3-27
Chapter-3
Final Plan Report
b. Rural Settlement Zone Rural settlements are the village settlements found in relatively remote areas, classified by Structure Plan as sub-flood flow zone. The settlements close to major roads are under transition. Allured by high land value many villagers are selling out their lands and migrating to remote places to continue their traditional livelihood. Thus the rural settlement areas are slowly being squeezed due to urban invasion. Again, new settlements are being established destroying valuable farm land. The intention behind delineating rural settlement is to bind the rural settlement within existing areas through densification. The total lands under rural settlements accounts to 13791.75 acres i.e. 18.36% (Table3.9) of the total area. Please see Map-3.4.
c. Commercial Zone Existing commercial areas and areas potential for future commercial development have been placed under commercial use. Mainly bazar, shopping agglomerations and areas suitable for commercial development have been placed under this category. Total area earmarked for future commercial use stands at 12.98 acres or 0.02% of the study area. Commercial areas have been delineated on major roads. Please see Map-3.4.
d. Industrial Zone The industrial zone has been classified into two groups- General Industrial Zone and Heavy / Noxious Industrial Zone to separate heavy and hazardous type of industries and their environmental implications. The total land for industrial use stands at 560.77 acres which is about 0.75 percent of the planning area. Please see Map-3.4. i. General Industrial Zone Industrial land use includes areas where industries have already been developed like Manufacturing of food, Textiles, Leather, Wood products, Paper, Metal etc, EPZ, and areas that are potential for future industrial development. The total land earmarked for industrial use stands at 480.06 acres. Please see Map-3.4. ii. Heavy/Noxious Industrial Zone Presently there is no particular area earmarked for industries generating toxic liquid waste. This has poised a threat to local ecology and environment including human health. They need to be agglomerated in a particular area with effective measure taken for treatment of waste water before drained into the natural water system. An area of 80.70 (32.667 ha) acres has been earmarked in Tetuljhora for setting up heavy/noxious industries. No further permission should be given to any red industry anywhere except in the proposed industrial zone. Please see Map-3.4.

e. Mixed Use Area The proposed mixed use areas have been classified into three categories- a. Residential plus Commercial b. Residential plus Industrial and c. Residential plus Commercial plus Industrial. The total land proposed combining two categories of mixed use zones account for about 1396.49 acres (1.86%). Please see Map-3.4. i. Residential plus Commercial Use In this zone only residential and commercial establishments will be allowed. This category has an area of about 109.44 acres. Please see Map-3.4. ii. Residential plus Industrial Use In this zone only residential and industrial establishments will be allowed. This category has an area of about 708.25 acres. Please see Map-3.4. iii. Residential plus Commercial plus Industrial Use This zone will accommodate residential, commercial and non-polluting industries like, garment and knitwear factories. Total land under this category will be about 578.81 acres. Please see Map-3.4.
f. Agriculture Agriculture is mainly paddy that growing takes place in low lying areas drained by rain water. Almost all flood zones are used for agriculture, but all agriculture areas are not in flood flow areas. In some parts of the planning area crops are cultivated round the year using irrigation facilities. Flood flow areas are the best land for cultivation as they are inundated annually and where water remains for some time after the rains. Major agricultural areas are located on the eastern and southern parts of the study area (SPZ 17.3) that are also flood flow zones. Based on recent survey about 21152.00 acres (28.16%) have been delineated under agriculture. Agricultural lands are fast depleting in areas close to major roads, as they are purchased by people mainly for non-farm activities. This land use transformation risks reduction in crop production as lands are being withdrawn from agriculture. Please see Map-3.5.
g. Institutional Zone Under the broad category of institutional zone, uses such as, administration, education and research, health, etc. have been included. Land belonging to educational use includes all categories of educational institutions, training institutions. The category also includes the proposed educational institutions. Total land under this land use is 3086.53 acres which is about 4.11 % of the study area that include existing and proposed education and health areas. An area of 37 acres have been earmarked in Enayaetpur,Banshbari and Palashbari mouzas of Dhamsona Union for setting up university on public/private initiatives.

h. Flood Flow Zone Flood flow zone refers to areas that are subject to regular inundation during monsoon. These areas are used for traveling path of flood water. DPZ 1, DPZ 2, DPZ 10, and DPZ 11 have most flood flow areas. Flood flow zone will be strictly maintained to allow smooth flow of flood water during monsoon. This will enable free the upland settlement areas from the possible flood risk. Flood flow areas are also used for crop production. The total land earmarked as flood flow stands at 17529.59 acres which is about 23.34% of the study area. Please see Map-3.5. i. Road and Transportation Facilities Estimates show about 35.13 acres of land under the existing and proposed road and relevant infrastructure facilities. This constitutes about 0.05% of the planning area. An area of about 30 acres of land has been earmarked for constructing the clover leaf Interchange at the point of proposed western Bypass and Dhaka-Aricha Road to ease the traffic movement and to reduce the traffic congestion.
j. Non conforming Land Use There are some land uses within the planning area that the consultant considers, should not stay there. These land uses are called non-conforming land uses. They are so called, because they do not conform to the dominant land use within which they have developed. These land uses have developed in those particular areas as no control could be exercised over their development. These land uses are recommended to retain there, but without any area expansion. They are recommended to be gradually shifted from the area to the areas earmarked for that particular use. About 693.98 acres of land has been designated as nonconforming uses which is 0.92% of the planning area.
k. Water body for Conservation Water body includes all categories of land that permanently hold water or are used for retention of water. These include pond, khal, river and other water bodies. The consultant has delineated 3485.91 acres of land as water body which constitute about 4.64% of the study area (Annex-3.2).
l. Open Space The study area has extremely low level of formal open space. The proposed open space cover the parks, play fields and the existing open space areas like, forest, eco-park, etc. The total land use estimated under open space stands at 204.48 acres (0.27%). Recreational open space include, - In Major Civic Centre - Stadium, Park, Playground - Stadium in Ward No. 1 - Play grounds - Parks - Park in Rajalakh Farm in Saver Pourashava ward No. 4 (mouza Savar), near the Dhaka-Aricha highway - Savar Golf Course - 100 m Settlement Restriction Zone around National Mausoleum which will be treated as Open Space

Chapter-3
Final Plan Report
Adding 16.73 acres as existing recreational open space the total open space comes to 204.48 acres of the total project area. This is about 0.27 percent of the total planning area. Population wise distribution shows 4.29 acres per 25,000 populations in the year 2015. Please see Map-3.6.
m. Overlay Zone Overlay zone refers to the small areas of services and facilities and special establishment within the dominant land use to support that particular land use. Overlay Zone (Please see Map-3.7.) includes Special Use Areas, Cantonment area, Community/Utility Service, and institutional area, Forest Area, Service Activity, Heritage and Graveyard etc. The total land earmarked as overlay zone stands at 2070.99 acres, which is about 2.76% of the study area. Detail description of this zone has been given below:
i. Special Use Areas Special areas refer to cantonment and security establishments restricted areas including the national mausoleum. There is one cantonment in the study area. All the properties under this establishment have been classified as special areas. Besides, there are some other types of special areas, like, Radio Transmission Centre and its staff housing area, national mausoleum. Land under all these special areas have virtually not changed since formulation of DMDP, as no new land have either been added or withdrawn from this use. Total area under this category is 976.09 acres of land which is 1.34% of the planning area while about 73.02 acres of land has been earmarked for radio transmission center as overlay zone.
ii. Community/Utility Service This category accommodates many establishments used for providing essential services to the citizens. The category includes telephone exchange, post office, fire station, water production pump station, electricity supply sub-station, waste water treatment plant etc. The total land under this category stands at 30.18 acres, which is about 0.05% of the planning area.
iii. Forest An area of 149.62 acres (0.21%) has been reserved for forest use. Biodiversity and ecological balance deteriorates with the advent of urbanization. Because economic prosperity makes people land hungry and to maximize use of land the land owners often destroy bio-diversity. However, in a land scarcity country like Bangladesh where farm and non-farm uses are in hard competition in the urban fringe for land, it is extremely difficult to maintain biodiversity all over the areas. Wild animals of various types will be released here creating a natural habitat for the animals. This will become an attractive place of tourist destination if properly developed and maintained.
iv. Heritage Site This category includes heritage site, grave yard, etc. Heritage site includes ruins of the palace of Raja Harsh Chandra in Rajashan area.

DPZ Wise Description of Land Use and Development Proposals
To have a closer look into the development proposals set by the consultant the entire study area has been regrouped into several Detailed Planning Zones (DPZ). The consultant has reclassified Group-E area into 12 DPZs based on development trend, population density and physical boundary as lines of demarcation between DPZs. The list of mouzas under DPZs is presented in Annex-3.3. In the following sections short description has been carried out about each DPZ its existing conditions and the recommended land use and development proposals.

Proposed Land Uses and Developments

Agricultural land use will remain one of the dominant land uses (4131.65 acrs) in this DPZ. In observation of the trend of
development, mixed land use have been suggested along the major roads. Proposed urban residential zone will be about 676.84 acres of land. Areas with existing residential use and potential for residential development have been put under residential use. Rural settlement will also be second most land use (2787.86 acres). Kumar Doba, Naljani, Itahata, Kadda Nandul and Naojuri are the mouzas where most residential zones have been proposed. Vast rural

Addressing Pertinent Issues There are some pertinent issues that are extremely vital for future urban development in the planning area. Some of these issues have been discussed in brief earlier others have not been addressed at all. In the following sections some previously stated issues have been re-stated to clarify the measures taken to address them, including some unaddressed issues.
Environmental Management Environmental problems of the study area will be addressed in two different ways as follows.
a. Establishment of Common Effluent Treatment Plant Liquid effluent discharged by growing industries in planning area is a major environmental concern. The liquid toxic waste is indiscriminately drained into the drainage channels penetrate into farm land, rivers and low lying areas. This not only affects the living environment and ecology in general but also the local agriculture in particular. Mitigation to this problem lies in setting up effluent treatment plants in common or individually, so that liquid waste is treated before discharging into the water system. Common effluent treatment plant can solve the problem of liquid waste management at low cost per unit of enterprise using the facility. The Tannery Estate being set up in south-western corner of the study area contains provision of such a common treatment plant. It is suggested to set up such plants at DEPZs and other suitable places of industrial agglomerations. A heavy/noxious industry zone has been suggested in the Kashimpur area. A waste water treatment plant must be set up there that may be shared by all the industries generating toxic waste water. The ministry of Industries may take the initiative for this purpose. Cost of development and operation may be realized from the beneficiary establishments in the zone.
b. Sewage and Waste Water Treatment Plant It is expected that sometime in future the local government will have to introduce network based sewerage system. This will require a treatment plant before discharging the sewage into the river. The consultant has earmarked an area of about 20 acres in Amarpur mouza in Savar Pourashava, close to the river Bangshi for a treatment plant. The plant will also be used for treatment of waste water discharged by bathrooms and kitchens.
Conservation of Monument and Heritage The planning area has quite a number of tourist attractions of different kinds. These can be grouped as, historical and heritage and recreational. Savar region is famous for its historical sites of ancient origin. Its glorious past has imbued the area with relics of historical importance that can attract tourists if they are properly conserved. Recently explored Palace of Raja Harish Chandra at Rajashan and many tanks, a number of mounds which frequently yielded gold coins of the

post-Gupta of Bodhisattava, mark the place out as one of the considerable antiquity and importance. Kashimpur Jaminderbari is another historical site in Kashimpur area. So far the consultant identified 27 relics in Group-E area (see Interim Report), that included palace, mandir, akhra and pond. Considering that it would be difficult to conserve all these establishments, the consultant has cut short the list to seven only (Table: 3.10 has the details). Except two, all the relics that originated before Bangla 1300 have been placed in the list. The two exceptions are the Kashimpur Zamindarbari and the National Mausoleum at Nabinagar. These sites of historical importance and heritage should be conserved with due dignity as they constitute the foundation of the civilization of this region and the pride of the nation. They are the heritages of the country that bring to the light the past political, social and economic life style of the ancestors of this land. They are not only valuable assets and pride possessions of the nation, but also attractions for tourists who visit this country in quest off exploration its history and life. These places of heritages and monuments have been marked in the map (Map-3.20) for preservation by the Department of Archaeology, Tourist Corporation and RAJUK for national interest.

Retaining High Value Agricultural Land As stated in the Structure Plan report, approximately one fifth of the DMDP Structure Plan area belong to good to very good agricultural land. It is envisaged in the plan that with the doubling of Dhaka metropolitan population by the plan period (2015) there would be rise in demand for agricultural products, particularly, for fresh vegetables and fruits. For reasons of cost efficiency they can be grown in these areas and can be marketed in Dhaka with ease. Considering the importance of these high value agricultural lands, the plan, in its policies recommended that these lands should be protected. In Group-E area high value agricultural lands refer to high red soil lands that are free from flooding. While there would be rise of demand for agricultural products leading to rise in farm land, there will also be rise in demand for land to accommodate increasing number of industrial and commercial development including housing and services. So, theoretically, there will be two opposite demands competing for the same land. The land termed as high value agricultural land is lucrative for non-farm development due to its flood freeness. Again, in Savar area these land area are not as attractive to the landowners as they do not retain water necessary for paddy cultivation, which is the prime crop of the country. This is why these lands traditionally fetched lesser prices than the low lying agricultural lands. It must be remembered that the so called high value agricultural lands belong to the numerous private owners. In an open market economy, a land owner will always like to transfer his land to a buyer who offers him higher price for his land. And obviously, the non-farm users will always be at the upper hand to offer higher price for the high value agricultural lands. Again, restriction has already been imposed against development on large areas of flood flow zone in the planning area. This will reduce supply of land to accommodate new urbanization in the area. In fact, as found from previous RAJUK experience, mere legal restrictions using land use zoning can hardly prevent an unwanted land use developments. So, it would be extremely difficult to prevent high value agricultural land from being transferred to non-farm uses in the face of acute demand for flood free land. However, one way to preserve high value agricultural land from non-farm use is through expropriation of the land by the government. But this will involve prohibitive compensation package and therefore not achievable. A large part of the high value agricultural land has already converted into settlement, industry. In the land use proposal utmost endeavor has been made to preserve as much as possible high value agricultural land under agriculture category. To retain these lands for agricultural use strong and effective enforcement of development control rules will have to be exercised.
Integrated Planning Map In Integrated Planning Map all the development proposals have been shown in this map. This planning map gives a picture of the integrated plan with various development proposals of the project area. The proposals include urban residential areas, flood flow zone, agricultural zone, mixed use and industrial zone and various social services and conservation of local heritage sites. Integrated Planning Maps have been shown in Annex-3.4.

Chapter- 4 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

4.0 Introduction
Chapter-4 of the planning report contains phasing and priorities of development proposals to be implemented. It also covers the development control procedures to be followed for approval of various structures and land uses and deliberations on, formation of new pourashava, land reservation for infrastructure development, restriction on land use clearance and environmental impacts.
4.1
Implementation Strategy
Traditionally, owing to complexities, government did not include people in the formulation and planning process of any project and attempted to implement it with own fund through land acquisition. Such policy has some built-in problems that strongly resist its implementation. People rightly feel that they have the right to know about the plan which has direct bearing on their living and property. The plan regardless of its quality uproots many people from their home and community they belong to. Thus sometimes a strong and desperate group of affected people together with their friends and allies resist, with their united strength, the implementation process. In our country, people records land at considerably low price than actual. This reality makes people financially looser when the land is acquired by government. Compensation all over the world is a complicated process. Brokers prop up to bridge the gap between innocent people and the government machinery. Money sticks to brokers hands. Plan Implementation through Active Community Participation Technique is the answer to offset these impossible obstacles on the way to plan implementation.
4.2
Land Management
Effective land management is one of the most important tools for the implementation of spatial development plans. For existing urban areas of middle to high densities, the most effective approaches are urban rehabilitation/upgrading and land sharing, either or not engaging community based development techniques for which proper institutional and financial mechanisms have to be established. On the contrary, for existing urban areas with relatively low densities, government agencies may also acquire land for construction of infrastructure and provision of urban service, but also for the implementation of site and service schemes that can offer low cost plots to low income households. Mechanism for institutional and financial support for disadvantaged group would be established like cross subsidy, etc.
4.2.1
Land Management Techniques
Urban Renewal Urban renewal is necessary for a built up urban area where it is considered blight and oblosence and derelict and not fit for human habitation. Urban renewal will be required for old Savar. It is
Chapter-4
Final Plan Report
necessary for those areas already threatened by degradation of physical environment due to over population, sprawl and unplanned development, also where the land uses are haphazard, unsystematic and incompatible. The basic essential infrastructure urban services and community facilities are not properly exist, in the area where there is existence of heritage is located and which are in decaying stage.
Site and Service Scheme Site and service schemes would be offered by private developers, including cross subsidization as part of the conditions. Such schemes will fulfill the conditions in order to obtain a development license for a larger area. Here too, institutional provisions will be needed to make this spatial land management technique work effectively. In the Site and Services schemes the most important issue is matching the plot size distribution to the income of the expected/targeted beneficiary. Community based development of (hard core poor) low-income housing including facilities in the existing urban area and the urban fringe area through consulting with facilitator and users. Land Readjustment/Guided Land Development Land readjustment and guided land development both aim at improving accessibility and at providing better services without the (compulsory) land acquisition by government agencies. In this type of plan the development authority can play a vital role in planning and development in co-operation with land owners and others service giving agencies. Success depends to a high degree on limiting the amount of land that is needed for these purposes. Therefore, improvement of accessibility should aim at widening and improving capacity of existing roads (and providing some missing links) rather than the construction of completely new roads. Similarly, the provision of services should not go beyond strict minimum standards. New neighbourhood centers (in which most services should be concentrated) in newly developing areas can be located just outside existing urban areas, so that they serve both the new development and existing area. For good accessibility these centers should be situated near the major junctions of the road network. Minimum standards for some urban services are given in the Urban Area Plan. For other services minimum standards has to be prepared. In land readjustment and guided land development schemes some space will be available for new development, but improving the existing situation deserves more attention. Here one of the most important issues is giving support to occupants to improve the quality of their own shelter (security of tenure, access to small scale loans, cheap building materials), including sanitation, water supply and garbage disposal. 4.2.2 Use of Appropriate Land Management Techniques
Land management in the study area will be done in three possible ways: 1. Private sector development 2. Public sector development and, 3. Development control. Private sector will be the largest contributor to land development. There are three categories of private sector land developers,
Chapter-4
Final Plan Report
Individual developers in spontaneous areas, commercial developers and Housing cooperative developers.
Individual developers are the largest in number and most of them own small lots, who mostly develop their lands on incremental basis. The lots of these land owners are usually located in spontaneous areas that are characterized by narrow and zigzag roads developed by community efforts. Spontaneous areas are marked by limited municipal services or without having any community facilities, like, open space and other social services.
Commercial developers purchase land from several individual owners, develop the land in a planned way, divide the land into several lots and sell them to individual buyers. The buyers as individual developers develop the structures in their suitable time. These areas are planned and provided with wider road network and many community facilities.
The cooperative housing estate is developed by formation of a housing cooperative under cooperative law. The cooperative society purchase land, develop the land, provide with road network and services in the same way as the real estate company and allot the developed plots their members who develop buildings in their lots. The only difference between housing cooperatives and housing companies is that the cooperatives do not make profits from their members.
Public sector land development is usually a lengthy process, but imbued with all the characteristics of commercial and cooperative housing. The serviced lots supplied by public sector housing agencies are attractive to middle income people for their easy terms and conditions. But execution of public sector projects takes along time as land is acquired through the law of compulsory land acquisition, which is very cumbersome process of acquiring land.
In study area, except public sector land development, all other processes of land development are going on for long without any control over them. Cheap flood free high land with excellent communication with Dhaka made the area a great attraction for investors in housing and industry. As spelled out in various donor reports, international agencies and national policies, public sector should only play the role of facilitator in promoting private developments. These facilitating activities will be in the form of providing all kinds of infrastructure necessary for development. However, at the same time mechanisms have to be developed so that cost of infrastructure development can be realized from the individual developers, housing cooperative and real estate companies.
The development control over commercial and cooperative housing societies has not been effective due to slack in exercising power by RAJUK, despite prevalence of all the rules and regulations to control them. RAJUK, National Housing Authority (NHA) or any other public sector housing authority is yet to initiate any housing project in the study area. Apart from conventional compulsory land acquisition based site and services type development, housing agencies like,
Chapter-4
Final Plan Report
RAJUK and NHA can go for new land development approaches like, Land Readjustment, Guided Land Development, Infrastructure Based Area Development and area specific action programs. The new approaches will be very much self financed and participatory, without going for the complexities of compulsory land acquisition. Since these projects do not go for compulsory land acquisition they will be very popular among the small land owners once a project is successfully executed. However, before going for full scale development program on participatory approach, the agencies should go for a few pilot projects.
Land Reservation for Infrastructure and Restriction on Land Use Clearance Structure Plan policy recommends (Section 3.2.1 (i)) to reserve land earmarked for infrastructure (suggested in the current plan as advance acquisition). It is very likely that it would not be possible to implement all development proposals in a short time due to resource constraint. So, there will be need to reserve the lands earmarked for infrastructure development. This reservation may be made by way of pegging the earmarked area/boundary using marking materials. Besides, strict restriction be imposed on according permission to any development other than mentioned in the development plan proposals for that area. This however, might necessitate amending the immovable property acquisition and requisition act.
Special Area Treatment Structure Plan mentioned (Section 1.3.6, Page. 29) about taking special treatment regarding some special areas to allow their present function and future expansion to be secured. They include places of national importance, places heritage, security establishments, etc. The Building Construction Rules 2008 (Section 61, Page 3058) also calls for conservation and preservation of important establishments and buildings of heritage. It suggests preparation of rules and regulation for proper conservation and preservation of such establishments. Study area has a number of such establishments,like, National Mouselium, Radio Transmission Centre, Atomic Energy Commission, Military Establishments including Savar Cantonment, ancient relics scattered over a large area. The following rules and regulations are recommended for establishments of national importance, security and heritage.
a. National Mausoleum National mausoleum at Savar is a splendid monument of national pride. Its sanctity and security is of utmost importance for the nation. So care must be taken to uphold its visual sanctity and aesthetics the consultant proposes to keep hundred meter area from its boundary (Zone-A) free of any man made structure. Only vegetation should be allowed in this area. And from the outer boundary of hundred meters to next half a kilometer (Zone-B) no building beyond 3 storeys high should be allowed. If structures have already been built in both the zones, no further vertical expansion should be allowed. These restriction areas have been marked in mouza map.

b. Radio Transmission Centre Radio transmission center near PATC is an important KPI whose security needs to be ensured. No building except vegetation should be allowed within 183 meter around the transmission towers. This restriction area has been marked in mouza map.
c. Sites of Ancient Relics For conservation of all historic heritage sites it is necessary to impose control over land use of the site itself and their surroundings. All the mandirs from serial 1 to 4 and serial 6 and 7 deserve pr preservation by the Department of Archaeology. Buildings within hundred meters from the boundary of these relics and historic sites should be restricted to 3 storeys only. It is expected that akhras will be maintained by the local devotees themselves through formation of committees. Special care should be taken about the site of the palace of Raja Harish Chandra. However,
regarding conservation the most important problem remains, who will preserve the sites and the establishments. Some agency must come forward to be the custodian of the sites and responsible for their management and maintenance. The possible agencies can be, Parjatan Corporation, Department of Archaeology and RAJUK.

Areas for Action Area Plan
There are several patches of land in the planning area where planned development can be achieved through use of Land Readjustment Technique and site and service scheme. Some areas are highly dense but developed in an unplanned manner. The road networks are very narrow, urban and community facilities are absent. These areas are designated as areas for Action Area Plan to be prepared by RAJUK on completion of DAP. It may be mentioned here that ultimately entire potential urban areas of DMDP area must be developed under concept with appropriate techniques. i. Participatory Housing Area Development The informal housing developments will continue as usual in all areas marked as housing zone in the land use plan, but the problems of informal settlements will be eased if the road and infrastructure proposals of DAP area implemented. In the older parts of the planning area there will be infilling of vacant plots, where there is little scope for providing road and other space based facilities. In the new or undeveloped areas opportunities are still there to have new infrastructure facilities. The new and less developed and undeveloped areas also offer opportunities for organized housing development through private commercial or cooperative initiatives or through public-private partnership basis. The consultant has marked potential areas for new housing areas where organized housing can be developed for different income groups. Structure Plan has also made proposals about developing new housing areas using different participatory techniques. Important participatory approach housing proposals include, 1. Land Readjustment Plan; 2 Guided Land Development Plan; 3. Community Based Area Improvement Plan.
Chapter-4
Final Plan Report
In such participatory techniques, land remains with private ownership and space for infrastructure including roads are shared by land owners. If government pays for development of infrastructure Lands have been delineated in just growing or extremely low density urban fringe areas for above mentioned projects. However, new road proposals and urban service facilities proposed will encourage private real estate developers. Private developers are already making important contributions in serviced land supply in the area.
While the first two approaches are meant for growing or urban fringe areas, the last approach is for the old built up part of the existing urban area. Situation based innovative methods can be evolved to work out local improvement plans for old areas through continuous negotiations with the land building owners. Besides, the housing areas can be developed on commercial initiative or through cooperative efforts using site and services approach in the entire area marked as housing zone in the land use plan. As a part of detailed area plan the consultant has interacted with a community in high density Bordeshi area at Amin Bazar surrounded by low lands. There is no scope for lateral expansion of this compactly built area. The road infrastructure is extremely narrow and tortuous. Though the area has very high density and there is no scope for vehicular traffic movement. It proposed to create a few major accesses from the main road through conservative surgery of the area. This will ease life of the people living in the area. Savar Bazar area has been recommended for redevelopment through Guided Land Development approach while Bordeshi area at Amin Bazar area has been suggested for Community Based Area Improvements.
Resettlement of Affected Families A large number of families will be affected if all the development proposals set in the plan are implemented. Some families will lose all their properties including shelter. Others may lose only their land additional to homestead. According to the law of the land all affected people will be paid compensation for their properties affected due to development through compulsory land acquisition. To accommodate the families who would be homeless due to development, the consultant has proposed 23.23 acres (9.40ha) of land in Sakran Mouza of Pathalia Unoin, adjacent west of the National Mausoleum as a resettlement zone. Approximately 240 families affected by implementation of development projects can be accommodated in this zone. RAJUK will acquire the land, make a site and services plan for the area and allot the services plots to the affected families.

Area Development Priorities and Phasing
The spatial activity trend does not show any uniformity all over the planning area. The emphasis of development is more at some places, while it is low at other places because of many locational advantages and disadvantages. To expedite economic activities in the planning area it is better to encourage development in growing potential areas. Such approach would create economies of scale in these areas for new enterprises. Economies of scale help lower cost of production and increases profit margin of investors. Concentration of economic activities invites investment in housing and other supporting services and establishments. The consultant, therefore, suggests promotion of development in selected areas that are highly potential for immediate urbanization. On this perspective proposed development areas of the study area has been classified into three groups according to phases of development. The phasing has been done on mouza basis. The mouzas that are closer to the major road or the mouza where extensive development has already been taken place or likely to occur very soon have been placed in the first phase that is the Short Term Phase, (2010-2012). Comparatively inner mouzas from the main road have been placed in the Second Phase that is Medium Term, (2012-2015), while the most remote mouzas have been placed in the long term phase that is likely to be developed beyond 2015. The details are presented in Annex-4.1.
4.5.1
Phasing
DMDP Structure Plan Phasing of the Plan is as follows: Table No. 4.1: Structure Plan Phasing Structure Plan Phase Short-term Medium-term Long-term Source: Structure Plan, DMDP The development proposals under Detailed Area Plan for Group-E should have been implemented by 2015 period. But there are proposals which may neither be possible to implement within this period nor does it require so. But in order to secure right of way many proposals (especially for a number of new primary roads) have been included in the plan which are not meant for implementation within the plan period. Thus the consultant proposes following three phases for implementation various development proposals. The phases are Period 1995-2000 2000-2005 2005-2015

Fixation of Priorities
On formulation of DAP, the Consultant moved towards figuring out the development proposals to be undertaken. Specific projects proposals have also been listed up from the development proposals, and have been prioritized for implementation. These priorities will be implemented based on phasing of DAP implementation. A list of projects has been provided in detail and fixed their respective priorities based on the needs, desires and demands of the local area as well as the national interest.
All projects under the DAP will be executed during above time frames. The projects will be sequenced as short term and medium term based on priority. Determinants of prioritization of projects are, potentiality of urban development in the area concerned; urgency of resolving problems; the projects that can serve urban growth in existing as well as new areas.
The projects that will not be possible to be executed during the above two phases will be carried over to the long term period through extension of the Structure Plan period. The purpose of phasing is to streamline and organize execution of projects and establish development priorities. To achieve targets of Structure Plan objectives, both, sequencing and phasing of projects are important. Sequencing allows flexibilities in response to changes or fluctuations and phasing fits the projects at the right time period. The Annex-4.2 shows the phasing of development proposals in DAP project.

Landuse Zoning
Zoning is a form of legal power which is delegated to development authorities/municipalities through enabling legislation to ensure the welfare of the community by regulating the most appropriate use of the land. Zoning is a classification of land uses that limits what activities can or cannot take place on a parcel by establishing a range of development options. Zoning has been defined as an action through legislation provided to a development authority/municipality to controla) the heights to which buildings may be erected; b) the area of lots that should be built; and c) the uses to which buildings and lots may be put. Area Zoning
The objective of area zoning is to specify which types of land use are considered appropriate for different areas or 'zones', and it therefore indicates the planning control objectives of the authority or municipality for its administrative area. The authority is obliged under the planning acts to designate in its development plan objectives for the use solely and primarily of particular areas for particular purposes.

Density Zoning
The aim of the density zoning is to provide an acceptable density which is related to the designed facilities and amenities especially in the residential areas. This will ensure a healthy community and enjoyable community life. Height Zoning
This zoning provides height limits for structures and objects of natural growth and standards for use of an area which encourage and promote the proper and sound development of areas. It is also applicable to height restrictions for flight safety around airports or other similar purposes. For effective development control, in addition to landuse zoning individual facility and the structures therein is to comply certain regulations imposed to ensure desirable end. Relation between ground cover of buildings and the land parcel that house it, minimum setback of building from the adjoining plot boundaries, and the maximum floor area that can be constructed in relation to plot size and the connecting road among many other details, are controlled by RAJUKs Building Construction Rules. Besides, Bangladesh National Building Code, 1993 focuses on the appropriate materials, construction method, building safety and associated issues. In absence of DAP the above rules did not have scope for area specific rules and hence were common for the whole development process. According to the Building Construction Rule, 2008, minimum permissible road width for obtaining plan permit is to be shown, construction is allowed on plots connected by narrow roads provided the plot owner leaves formally half of the addition area needed to make the road 6m for widening the road to the permitted minimum. Perhaps the intension behind this was that gradually the whole road would raise up to 6m in short time and it is true for new areas coming urban development as most of the structures are non permanent and they are to correct under this rule to permanent buildings making the whole road 6m in the process. But congested unplanned Dhaka represents an alarming picture. Most of the plots are occupied almost entirely by pucca structures several storied high soaring right from the property line connected by the narrow pathways, these owners did not bother for RAJUKs plan permit and a handful those who obtained a plan permit did not bother to follow them. 4.6.1 a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. m. n. o. p.

Final Plan Report
This zone tends to preserve flow and level of water across all seasons along their natural alignment. DMDP area is covered by a network of natural water body including river, canal and pond. To promote and provide environmentally safe and sound living for the people of the area and for the future generation, water body has an immense important. Water body should be preserved not only for environmental concern but also for active and passive recreation. Landuse Permitted The following uses in the tables are proposed to be applicable for this zone only. Table No. 4.34: Landuse Permitted Permitted Aquatic Recreation Facility (Without Structure) Fishing Club Utility Lines Water Parks Memorial Structure Source: Compiled by the Consultants Landuse Conditionally Permitted The following uses may be permitted or denied in this zone after review and approval by the authority/committee. Table No. 4.35: Landuse Conditionally Permitted Conditional Plantation (Except Narcotic Plant) Marina \ Boating Facility Motorized Recreation Source: Compiled by the Consultants Restricted Uses All uses except permitted and conditionally permitted uses are restricted. 4.6.2 Special Functional Options
Besides above categories of landuse, some situations are not so infrequent in nature. These may belong to either of the followings. New Use Suppose a new electric substation needs to be installed in a residential neighborhood to cover the additional load. The plot in which it is to be installed is of course, earmarked as urban residential landuse, yet in consideration to the benefit the landuse may be altered to accommodate the facility in the plot.
Nonconforming Use
4-42
Chapter-4
Final Plan Report
Some functions may have been in the area prior landuse declaration and the facility does not conform to the new landuse. In such case if the facility is harmful to the new landuse, it needs to be relocated in due course. But if the landuse does not affect the surrounding landuse, it is allowed to continue till its natural termination. In both of the cases these uses are termed as nonconforming use and stricter conditions are imposed on the facility to restrict its growth to confine its activities. Regulations regarding Nonconforming Use Nonconforming use is a use or structure that was legally or illegally established but is no longer permitted because of the zoning regulations that have been applied or changed after the use or structure was established. In addition, a non-conforming use is any use, whether of land or of structure, or both, which does not comply with the applicable use provisions in this Regulation, where such use was lawfully in existence prior to the enactment of this Regulation or subsequent amendments. Moreover a non-conforming structure is any structure or part of a structure manifestly not designed to comply with the applicable use provisions of this Regulation or subsequent amendment, where such structure lawfully existed prior to the enactment of this Regulation or subsequent amendments. The continued existence of nonconformities is frequently inconsistent with the purposes for which the zoning of the area has been worked out and thus, the gradual elimination of such nonconformities is generally desirable. General Provisions The following provisions shall apply to all uses existing on the effective date of this Plan that do not conform to the requirements set forth in this Zoning Regulation, to all uses that become nonconforming by reason of any subsequent amendment to this Zoning Regulation, and to all buildings containing such uses. There must be a time frame of up to 5 years within which the non conforming uses have to be relocated to places where those specific uses are permitted or conforming according to this regulation. This time frame may vary from 2 to 5 years depending on that particular use. This time frame for relocating a particular non conforming use will be determined by the RAJUK. Some mid level provisions/ functions have to be determined by the RAJUK which functions will be allowed there until the relocation period. But no enlargement, alteration, expansion, restoration of those uses will be allowed during this time frame in that particular location where the use is declared non-conforming by this regulation. Regular monitoring of the non conforming uses and their functions by RAJUK is a must. If the restrictions are not followed in any of that very uses, then immediate action have to be taken by the authority to discontinue or restrict that function or to relocate it in locations where those uses are conforming or permitted. The authority has to select the place where the particular use will be relocated. And for regulating this relocation some measures like tax, subsidy etc. have to be provided by that authority.
Identification and Registration of Non-conforming Uses and Structures

Chapter-4
Final Plan Report
All uses and structures existing at the effective date of this Regulation which do not conform to the requirements set forth in this Regulation, or any amendments thereto, should identified and registered by the RAJUK. Failure or neglect of the authority to identify or register uses or structures which are non-conforming as defined in this Regulation or subsequent amendments does not exempt such use or structures from the applications of this Regulation. Continuation of Non-Conforming Uses and Structures Any non-conforming use or structure may be continued up to their time frame, provided such use or structure: (1) Shall not be moved to another location where such use or structure would be nonconforming. (2) Shall not be changed to another non-conforming use or structure without approval of NUC and then only to a use or structure which, in the opinion of the NUC is of the same or of a more restricted nature in accordance the Restrictions above. (3) Shall not be re-established if such use or structure has been discontinued for any reason for a period of twelve (12) months or more, or has been changed to, or replaced by, a conforming use or structure. Intent to resume a non-conforming use shall not confer the right to do so. (4) Shall not be restored for other than a conforming use after damage from any cause, unless the non-conforming use or structure is reinstated within twelve (12) months of such damage; if the restoration of such structure is not completed within the said twelve (12) month period, the non-conforming use of such structure shall be deemed to have been discontinued, unless such non-conforming use is carried on without interruption in the undamaged portion of such structure. Maintenance Maintenance of a building or other structure containing or used for a non-conforming use will be permitted when it includes necessary non-structural repairs and incidental alterations which do not extend or intensify the non-conforming building or use. Reconstruction A non-conforming use which has been damaged by fire, explosion, or an act of God, to the extent of sixty (60%) percent of its reproduction value at the time of damage shall be restored in conformity with the current regulations of the district in which it is located. When damaged by less than sixty (60%) percent of its reproduction value a non-conforming use may be repaired or reconstructed and used as before the time of damage, provided such repairs or reconstruction are started within one (1) year from the date of such damage. Discontinuance or Abandonment A non-conforming structure occupied by a non-conforming use may be re-occupied by a conforming use following abandonment of the nonconforming use. If a non-conforming use is abandoned for a period of two (2) years, any future use of the premises shall be in conformity with the provisions of this Resolution and shall not again be used except in conformity with the current regulations of the district in which it is located.
Unsafe Structure
Chapter-4
Final Plan Report
Any non-conforming structure or portion thereof containing a non-conforming use, work may be done on ordinary maintenance repairs, or on repair or replacement of non-bearing walls, fixtures, wiring, or plumbing, provided the cubic content that existed when it became non-conforming shall not be increased. Nothing in this article shall be deemed to prevent the strengthening or restoring to a safe condition of any building or part thereof, declared to be unsafe by any official charged with protecting public safety, upon order of such official. Where appropriate, a Zoning Permit shall be required. Termination and Removal of Non-Conforming Buildings, Structures or Uses The period of time during which the non-conforming buildings, structures or uses of land listed may continue or remain until five years after the effective date of this Zoning Regulation, or of any amendments hereto, which cause the use to be non-conforming. Every such non-conforming building, structure or use shall be brought into compliance with this Zoning Regulation or completely removed from the premises on or before the expiration of the five year period.

Landuse Permit issued by the LPP/s shall be null and void unless the use applied for is listed in the landuse options under the zone of the respective plot. To cover the vast DMDP area under RAJUK jurisdiction and to comply the legal provisions empowering the Local Paurashavas to plan and control development within their jurisdictions, Consultants recommend that in Paurashavas within the DMDP area Paurashava Planners [PP] in addition to RAJUKs main stream LPPs shall be delegated with the power to act as LPPs and issue Plan Permit and control development within the provision of DAP on RAJUKs behalf. But in such case for permitting plan PPs too like main stream LPPs shall be controlled by Landuse Permit Committee headed by the Chief Town Planner of RAJUK. Landuse Permit Committee At the mid level Landuse Permit Committee [LPC] shall function for effective control of LPPs [both main stream and Paurashava], clarify legal provisions regarding landuse permit decisions on a case to case basis. LPC shall be headed by RAJUKs Chief Town Planner [CTP] and Town Planners with experience and background knowledge shall be the members. Town Planner, Development Control shall act as the Member Secretary of this committee. The LPC shall clarify the legal provisions for the LPPs as per their request, make recommendations in case of new use or conditional use and send it to the Nagar Unnayan Committee [NUC] for decision.

LPC shall identify and earmark plot numbers under non-conforming uses and notify the owners about the time span to relocate the facility, procedure and conditions that must be strictly maintained to avoid immediate eviction. Nagar Unnayan Committee Nagar Unnayan Committee [NUC] shall be the supreme authority regarding Landuse Permit within RAJUK jurisdiction. Headed by the Secretary, Ministry of Housing and Public Works, GoB and CTP of RAJUK being the Member Secretary NUC shall include among others Chairman RAJUK, Head Department of URP, BUET, President BIP, President IAB, Imminent citizens of Dhaka etc. as Members. NUC shall be well supported by a secretariat and shall be empowered to carry out study and/or survey, arrange public hearing, round table conference, seminar, or engage experts if necessary and financially support these activities. NUC shall decide whether the proposed new uses should be permitted or denied; in case of conditional permit impose the conditions to comply; accept variances for specific cases and so forth. Besides, NUC shall decide strict conditions to nonconforming uses and the action against its violation if so happens. The detailed structures of the committees, their mandate, legal, financial and administrative capacity all these have to be determined to ensure effective functioning. b. Landuse Permit Options There can be three possible options for a plot seeking landuse permit, namely, landuse permitted, landuse conditionally permitted or landuse restricted.
Landuse Permitted Landuse that unconditionally permitted in the zone are listed in this category. When permission is sought for a residential landuse on a plot earmarked as urban residential zone then it falls under this category. Landuse Permitted with Condition Landuse that generally not incompatible or harmful for the community but whose number, location or specific use nature may pose threat to communitys lifestyle, privacy, safety or security etc. then the landuse is permitted but with a condition to fulfill so that the potential threat is avoided. For example, a neighborhood can at best support two primary schools. Now if a request is made seeking landuse permit for a composite textile mill with a dying unit that releases noxious effluent to the surrounding the remaining part being compatible to the landuse zone, then the permit may be issued with a condition to exclude the noxious portion. If the condition is fulfilled then the permit is issued against the plot. A list of such conditional uses is maintained in this category. Landuse Restricted Landuse that is harmful for the community are restricted by law. Such harmful landuse is listed in this category. A cinema hall in a neighborhood may be cited as an example under this category.
c. Landuse Permit Procedures

Land use permit procedure is a product of a number of interlinking activities. The whole process has been shown in a flow diagram for clearer understanding in Figure 4.2.

Chapter-4
Final Plan Report
The procedure is commenced with the submission of formal application by the applicant to the Chairman of RAJUK. The applicant must submit along with other information and documents a mauza map showing his plot including plot no, mauza name etc. The concerned official designated as Landuse Permit Planner (LPP), will then check the compliance of land use zone and the permitted use with the proposed land use of the applicant. If the proposed land use does not comply with or mentioned as restricted in the land use zone and the permitted use, the proposed land use will be rejected with reasons. If the applicant is not satisfied with this decision he/she can appeal to the Nagar Unnayan Committee (NUC) and the decision taken by the committee shall be followed accordingly by the LPP. If the proposed land use complies with the land use zone and the permitted use then four more situations can be evolved: new use or use conditionally permitted, proposed land use overlaid or proposed land use permitted. If the proposed land use is overlaid or permitted use then it will be permitted without raising further question. But in case of new land use or use conditionally permitted, the LPP can either reject the proposed land use showing adequate and reasonable causes or permit proposed land use under some specific conditions if and only if LPP is totally convinced about the jurisdiction of the proposed land use. LPP may consult the Landuse Permit Committee to arrive at the decision. Even at this stage if the rejection decision taken by the LPP is not satisfactory to the applicant he/she can appeal to the Nagar Unnayan Committee (NUC) and the decision taken by the Nagar Unnayan Committee (NUC) will be followed by the LPP thereby. Otherwise LPP will refer the case to the Landuse Permit Committee. The Landuse Permit Committee (LPC) will seek feedback data and/or information from the applicant and/or the officials within the office. The collected data and/or information will then be forwarded to the LPP to take appropriate decision only when LPC is convinced with the case, otherwise it can refer the case to the Nagar Unnayan Committee (NUC) and the decision taken by the Nagar Unnayan Committee (NUC) will then be followed by the LPP accordingly. If Nagar Unnayan Committee (NUC) thinks the land use to be appropriate after making any correction or modification the applicant can apply again for the proposed land use to the Chairman after making such correction or modification. If any decision, appealed to the Nagar Unnayan Committee (NUC), goes against the applicant he/she, at this stage may appeal to the court. If the verdict goes against the applicant he/she can further appeal for the case to the High Court Decision otherwise the LPP have to take decision according to the verdict proposed by the Court. If the verdict proposed by the High Court Decision, the applicant will not be allowed to further apply or appeal for the proposed land use.

5.1 Introduction
In this part of the Final Planning Report the consultant highlights the projects with preliminary cost estimates and design. The projects included in this chapter are to be executed in the first phase of implementation that is in 2010-2012. The projects categories are, site and services, park and play ground, lake and road development.
5.2
Description of the Projects
There are several projects for the Group-E area which has been presented in Annex-5.1. Description of Bangshi River front development project is given as follows. Bangshi River Front Development Project 1. Name of Project: Bangshi River Front Development Project 2. Description of the Project: A River front development project along Bangshi River has been suggested for the planning area. The project site is located in dakshin dariapar mouza of Savar Pourashava with an area of 10.24 acres of land, which is basically park based recreational project.
Detailed Landscape An extensive landscape is proposed with considering the visitors convenience. It is given due aesthetic considerations too. Different scales of trees and plants as well as materials are considered for creating a nice boulevard. Please see Figure-5.1.

Chapter- 6 FOLLOW UP ACTIONS

6.1 Introduction
Town planning is yet become a part of our urban development culture. Individuals love to go at their will without respect to planning norms and the concerned authorities are unable to exercise full control over development. Strict measures are necessary to make stakeholders follow plans and development rules. Awareness is to be built among the people to follow the plan. Government agencies must be compelled to follow plans. Existing laws in this regard has to be updated incorporating provisions of plan execution. In order to accomplish the goals set forward in the plan, some follow up actions are required.
6.2
6.2.1
Follow up Actions
Awareness Building
Town planning has not become a part of our cultural practice, mostly due to ignorance about the benefit of planned development and the evils of haphazard /sprawl development. This can be achieved by the way of propagation and direct contact with people. Easy availability of plan document also enables people to become aware of the plan and thereby follow the guidelines. As such RAJUK should take initiatives so that the plan document can be easily accessible to the people. 6.2.2 Willingness of the Authorities to implement the Plan
RAJUK on adoption of the planning document should show its intent to implement the plan through effective control measures and budget allocation. RAJUK needs to be better equipped with necessary logistic and efficient manpower to implement the plan smoothly. 6.2.3 Revision of existing and formulation of new Legal Provisions Relevant to DAP
There are a number acts and regulation in use for development and development control. But with the passage of time these acts and regulations have become obsolete which need review and refurbishment in the light of present requirement. Particular mention may make of TI Act which empowers RAJUK to prepare Master Plan. But now a days Master Plan concept has become outdated and three tier development plans in the form of Structure Plan, Urban Area Plan and Detailed Area plans are prepared. This has to be accommodated in the TI Act.
Recommendations have been made to implement DAP through Action Area Plans with peoples participation. This is a new concept, hence it requires legal coverage and thereby it is necessary to enact new law for this purpose.

Chapter-6
Final Plan Report
6.2.4
Identification and Preparation of Policies for Non Conforming Uses
There have been many structures constructed in various areas which do not conform to the existing landuse of the area. These have been identified as non conforming use. Non-conforming use structures have to be relocated and structure use has to be changed in conformity with the Landuse of the area. To implement these legal coverage have to be included in the TI Act and other relevant acts and regulation. 6.2.5 Preparation of Action Plans for Participatory Development
Only preparation of Detailed Area Plan will not be enough to ensure development due to resource constraint. Securing right of way for circulation network and utility corridors need huge funds which cannot be met by the public exchequer. To minimize the cost of development, RAJUK should involve the land owners in the development process. This can be achieved by declaring some of the developing corridors as concession for development through peoples participation where landowners will become development partners and share the development cost through contribution of a portion of their land. RAJUK has to prepare Action Area Plan for those areas utilizing development techniques like Guided Land Development or Land Readjustment. RAJUK has to show strong determination and willingness as this is a very difficult task to accomplish involving hundreds of people. RAJUK has to increase its efficiency and do the work at the appropriate time. A separate cell under Planning Department may be set up with sufficient number of professionals. 6.2.6 Resolving Duality of Power in Granting Planning Permit
It is found that local authorities like Paurashava or Union Parishad accord planning permit within RAJUKs jurisdiction area. The Local Government Ordinance provides power to the local government agencies to issue planning permits. This has given duality in the performance of development control functions resulting in chaos. 6.2.7 Decentralization of RAJUK Function
RAJUK zonal office should be more powerful and zonal offices should be set up at Paurashava level, if not at union level. The zonal office should be given appropriate authority. 6.2.8 Bringing Potential Urban Areas under Municipal Authority and Creation of New Municipality
There are many urban clusters within Group-E area jurisdiction, but only one pourashava makes management of utility provision very much difficult. Some of these areas are adjacent to Savar pourashava. These should be brought under municipal coverage both for utility management as well as for effective development control.

Chapter-6
Final Plan Report
For last few decades the country has witnessed a remarkable growth in the export market due to globalisation, particularly by the RMG and the knitwear sector. This has led to high rate of growth in the industrial sector. Core Dhaka City land area is being saturated fast and hardly has enough space to accommodate new industries. Development of EPZ in the northern part of the planning area further influenced growth of new industries largely RMG and Knitwear around it, mainly as backward and forward linkage units. Savar pourashava is about 8 km away from the EPZ. The industrial agglomerations surrounding EPZ took place in rural settings with no municipal services available around. New developments still continues that lead to further urbanization in the area. There is no way to provide and manage municipal services in these areas. The consultant, therefore, suggests creating pourashavas in the Group-E planning area to cater to the services needs of the growing urban areas.
Tetuljhora Union of Savar Upazila is an important area where rapid urban transformation is taking place. The Dhaka-Aricha/Paturia Road passes through the heart of this union. Taking advantage of excellent road communication and proximity to the markets of Dhaka city industries are cropping up in a number of pockets and along the major roads. Industries have developed in areas like, Bilamalia, Kulsur, Dkashin Shyampur, Tetuljhora, Jamur Khidragati, Nandakhali and Fulbari, and along DhakaAricha Road at Hemayetpur area. Kashimpur Upazila of Gazipur is another area where rapid urban growth is observed. Kashimp[ur, Surabari, Barenda and Gobindabari are important areas of urban agglomeration. New industrial enterprises and residential development is taking place in the area. This area enjoys good road communication with Dhaka City.
Although rapid urban growth is observed in these areas but they are still under the administrative control of Union Parishad local government. Union Parishad has no budget or manpower to provide urban basic services to the growing establishments and settlers. Without presence of any urban local government management of urban basic services, like, water supply, drainage, waste management is in a state of disarray in these areas. As a result environmental situation in these areas is gradually deteriorating. The consultant, therefore, recommends that pourashavas should be constituted in all these areas to take care of urban basic services. Due to presence of large number of industrial and commercial establishments, the pourashavas will be able earn enough revenue to bear their management and development expenditures through collection of holding tax. Structure Plan, about 14 years back recommended for a pourshava in the Ashulia area.
In view of the highly scattered development in the vast high lands of Savar mere extension of existing Savar Pourashava will not be able to cover newly growing areas. The consultant studied developments in and around the entire study area and came to the conclusion that there is need for at least three Pourashavas to cover the maximum of existing and potential built up areas of the study area. This is necessary bring under control all the developments that have already taken place and the development that are imminent in near future. Following is a description of the areas recommended for pourashava:
Chapter-6
Final Plan Report
Tetuljhora Pourashava This will be in the southern part of the study area, south-western part of Savar Upazila. The proposed pourashava will cover the already developed industrial cluster in Tetuljhora Union. New business centers and housing areas are being developed based on the industries where large number of workers find their jobs. There is need to bring these areas under control not only to enforce development control regulations but also to provide basic urban services to the enterprises which will be a crying need soon as population increases.
Ashulia Pourashava Ashulia is the fastest expanding settlement in the study area mainly under Dhamsona Union. Existence of EPZ, large number of garment and knit wear factories and other footloose industries and an entertainment park has made the area attractive for new investors. Development of new road and improvement of the existing ones is already overdue. Without immediate planning intervention the area is likely to turn into unplanned settlement with jumble of concretes and bricks creating severe problems of living and working. Drainage and water supply will soon poise a serious problem as there is no authority to look into these services.
Kashimpur Pourashava Kashimpur area is a part of Gazipur Sadar Upazila that comprises flood free high land attractive for new developments. However, roads in the area are not designed in a planned manner and have narrow width. When considered in terms of future growth these roads will turn into severe traffic and transportation problem for the local people and industries, that might even lead negative impact on investment in the area. In Kashimpur, proper industries and residential areas have already cropped up in scattered manner. New industrial investments are coming up every year as land have already been sold to the potential investors. New development will make the area more congested and problematic without having basic urban services, like, water supply, link roads, drainage facilities and waste management. The proposed Kashimpur Pourashava will comprise mouzas from Savar Upazial and from Kashipur Union Upazila.
On legal grounds, a rural settlement, to become a Pourashava needs to fulfill certain conditions. According to the Pourashava Ordinance 1977, Section 3(2), The Government shall not declare any rural area to be an urban area unless it is satisfied that three-fourths of the adult male population of the to which it refers are chiefly employed in pursuits other than agriculture, and such contains not less than fifteen thousand population, and average number of not less than two thousand inhabitants per square mile.
Similar conditions have been set by the new Local Government (Pourashava) Ordinance 2008. According to the Sub-section (2) of Section 3 of the Ordinance, any rural area can be declared a Pourashava if it fulfils the following conditions,
(K) wZb PZz_vsk evw AKwl ckvq wbqvwRZ; (L) kZKiv 33 fvM f~wg AKwl cKwZi;

It is not possible to know the exact position of above variables in mouzas likely to comprise three Pourashavas. Review of above statistics for relevant mouzas of the three proposed pourashavas reveal that they do not fulfill all the above four conditions. Particularly density of population is still low. But it is expected that the density condition will be fulfilled during population census 2011. So it is proposed to move for constituting three pourashava after 2011.
6.2.9
Strengthening Planning Department of RAJUK
RAJUKs Planning Department especially plan implementation and monitoring wing should be equipped with sufficient number of qualified planners and logistic to enable them monitor the development trend within the RAJUK area. This will help them effectively guide developments in preferred areas of urban expansion. 6.2.10 Co-ordination among Related Authorities/Agencies RAJUK should take initiative to foster better co-ordination among the stakeholders especially with line agencies. Through this, RAJUK will be able to stop unauthorized construction by public sector agencies. 6.2.11 Enforcement of Law for Restoring Plan There are many Acts and regulation for development and development control, but without application. In absence of enforcement plan violation has become common. As such efforts have to be made to ensure application of the existing acts and regulation in order to strengthen development control function. 6.2.12 Provision of Penalty for Plan Violation There should be provision of punishment for violation of the plan provision by individuals as well as private and public sector agencies. Violation of planning provision will make it difficult to implement planning provisions properly. 6.2.13 Plan Review RAJUK should take initiative to review the performance and functioning of the plan during the planning period. It should also make arrangement for regular updating of the plan. Provision should also be made to prepare fresh plans on expiry of a plan period.

Chapter- 7 CONCLUSION
7.1 Conclusion
A physical development plan that goes unimplemented for years loses its credibility as a plan and turns obsolete and one day people find it nothing but a waste paper. Since independence several physical development plans have been prepared for many towns and cities in Bangladesh, but have hardly received adequate patronization as far as their implementation is concerned. Time has proved that plan execution is more cumbersome and difficult than plan making. Crores of takas of public money have been spent in plan making, but taking an account of their execution reveals a frustrating picture as a very few of the development plan proposals have so far come true. This creates a nave situation for plans themselves. A frustrating picture of implementation is revealed after formal acceptance of DMDP in 1996. The development in flood zones goes unabated despite Structure Plan restrictions. Road infrastructures proposed have hardly been taken care of. RAJUK hardly has the capacity to prevent unwanted developments though equipped with all necessary legal powers to do so. The current Detailed Area Plan, formulated under DMDP, opens up a new horizon of development opportunities and land use control at the very micro level. The land use areas have been marked indicating the mouza and dag numbers. It is expected that control of land use development contrary to the DAP can be prevented more easily. This will require will and exercise of power with more vigour and sincerity.
It is not possible for the government alone to go for plot to plot development as per plan with its meager resources. This calls for involving stakeholders, particularly, the land owners in the development process. Such initiative is possible at the local level infrastructure, where the land owners will be directly benefited. In case of wider level development the development authority can take initiatives for cost realization of infrastructure development from beneficiaries. DAP indicates measures for such development approaches.
The RAJUK as a development authority should shun with land based housing development that allows low density use of land and also benefits the privileged classes of the society increasing social imbalance. In a land scarce country like Bangladesh housing development should aim at maximum accommodation of population. This calls for vertical accommodation with standard open space provision on the ground. No standard/rules in this regard have yet been prepared by the development authorities.
The northern part of the newly urbanizing planning area of Group-E is in precarious conditions with respect to basic municipal services-water supply, drainage, solid waste management. The situation is deteriorating every month with the increasing growth of factories and houses with no pourashava to take care of these services. Urgent attention is needed to establish three pourashavas as suggested

Final Plan Report
in the plan document. New industrial development must be brought together to allow their best management with respect to service provision. Agglomeration will make it easier supplying water, managing solid waste, arranging waste water and storm water drainage and above all providing Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) services for factories discharging liquid effluent.
Flood zones earmarked in the land use plan must be retained at any cost not only to save economically more valuable built up areas but also to save food crop growing on low lying paddy lands. It would not be wise to ask RAJUK as a development authority to exercise the total control of the entire RAJUK area with its stringent manpower and capacity. As an authority RAJUK should serve as a regulatory body rather than a developer. It should only control, facilitate and promote development in the interest of the people. Development should go to the private sector. But it should develop mechanism to realize its costs of infrastructure development so that no one can capitalize on public money to make personal gains.
Rule of law must be established. A culture of law obedience must be created among the people in general and such practice should start with government agencies that do not follow the provision building plan approval. It is hardly possible for the government to control all irregularities unless the people themselves become conscious and cooperative. Necessary stringent measures should be taken against the violators to make people abide by laws.
Regular monitoring of the plan implementation is necessary together with urban development going on in new areas. This is necessary to take up further planning and development projects as per need of the capital city which is growing as a mega city at an ever increasing rate. Monitoring would help early detection of problems and suggesting solutions for their amelioration. An early measure in tackling problems can not only save huge public money but also the miseries of the city dwellers.
