ThiruvananThapuram: The City Level Committee has approved a survey that will be carried out as part of implementing a local area plan (lap) and the city planning scheme (TPS) in Thiruvananthapuram.
While Vizhinjam, Muloor, Kottapuram and Venganoor have been chosen as the area for the preparation of TPS, Pallayam, Thampanoor, Vazhuthaud, and the Thycal Ward has been chosen for the prepare of the lap in the city.
Institute of Urban Study Tamil Nadu (TNIUS), the agency entrusted to conduct surveys, will soon implement drones, DGPS (differential global positioning systems), traffic and transportation and socio-economic surveys in this regard immediately.
DGPS is expected to provide better location accuracy of the global position survey and is expected to exceed the challenges arising from the nature of the field.
It will also produce fast results.
The head of the city planner had previously reported that the field of the scheme must be surveyed by the UAV / Drone to prepare land use maps and request permission to conduct air surveys using drones.
The state government has formed a committee consisting of four members to monitor and supervise surveys in a special security zone because surveys using drones will involve drone movements in restricted areas and videos.
Special permission has been given to conduct a drone survey.
Country capital is one of 25 cities in India which has been chosen for the implementation of laps and polling stations as part of a pilot’s emphut project.
The State High-powered Steering Committee meeting (SHPSSC) has approved the Chief Town Planner (Planning) proposal to make the required amendments in Kerala City and state planning law, 2016 for the formulation and implementation of laps and polling stations in the city.
The implementation of rebuilding the city area has been qualified from time to time and experiencing unscientific land use without adequate infrastructure or public facilities.
The city area is in a solid, non-availability of road spaces and public spaces will be intended by the implementation of the lap.
Laps create a framework for increasing public sphere (public spaces, areas under roads etc.) by enabling the rebuilding of the existing assisted environment and preparation of new layout with the provision of improved infrastructure.
TPS is intended to be implemented in the area identified for future planned urbanization.
The planning process consists of the merger and redistribution of land parcels in the urban expansion zone.
The TPS area can range from 50 to 500 hectares or more.
Drone & DGPS surveys are set to start in certain city areas
