2.1 REGIONAL SETTING
2.1.1 LOCATION AND LINKAGES
The Rourkela Planning area is located at 22o – 12’ N Latitude and

84o – 54’ East Longitude. Most of the northern boundary is
formed by the Koel River flowing from the east and meeting with
west flowing Sankh River just at the north‐west corner of
Rourkela Steel Township and flows down southward as Brahmani
River, dividing the Planning Area into three parts. The Brahmani
River takes its course southwards through the region which

Rourkela town is connected by the Howrah‐Bombay line nearly
North and Angul, Cuttack and Bhubaneswar in South. Rourkela
town is also connected by State Highway with Sambalpur,
Raigarh, toward South West and Jamshedpur toward North East.
The airport is located in Rourkela town which was constructed by
the Airport Authority in the year 1964. But presently only Central
Government and State Government helicopters and small aircraft
are flying but not on regular basis. The SAIL has taken over this
Aerodrome in the year 1991. Apart from this the nearest Airport
is located at Ranchi (222 Kms).
2.1.2 CLIMATE
The temperature of Rourkela varies between 46.3o C during

summer (April‐ July) to 7o C during winter (November to January).
The humidity is high in the dry months. The wind flows in
summer from south west with a speed of 35‐40 km / hr and in
winter season from north east with a speed of 18‐24 Km hr. The
annual average rainfall is 128.8 cm.

the seventies for production of different ready‐made materials.
To avoid scarcity of power supply the plant set up a captive power

the requirement of power supply from the year 1986.
The modernization of Rourkela steel plant was begun in the

month of August 1988 with a view to producing qualitative

3.1.4 LITERACY RATE
The literacy rate as per the 2001 census works out to be 71.35 per
cent, more than the corresponding Orissa state figure for urban
population, which was 63.08 per cent. One of the
reasons for this higer literacy rate is that Rourkela has attracted a
large number of migrants, mostly literates for employment. Male
literacy rate for RPA is 77.64 which is more than the female
literacy i.e. 64.20%. The literacy rate in urban area is 73.88 per
cent as compared to only 56.63 per cent in rural area. This may be
due to less accessibility in rural area to education facilities socially
or financially. As per the primary survey literacy rate is even

Towards the end of 1946 most of existing roads of Sundargarh

District were constructed. National Highway number NH‐23 is
passing through Rourkela which runs from Chas‐Ranchi‐Rourkela‐
Talcher‐Banarpal‐ Junction with National Highway No. 42. About
30 Kms of this highway passes through in and around Rourkela.
Though the finalization of the project is awaited but the planning
for four lane of this highway is under consideration. One more
National Highway i.e. NH‐213 which runs from Rajamunda to
Ranikoili in Jaipur District in Sundargarh District also have some
impact on development of Rourkela.

From graph 7 , we can conclude that the land values of the • The mythological hotspot like Vedvyas.
residential land use is always higher than the agriculture land use.
This is so because initially, with the expansion of cities and towns

the agriculture land is converted into residential land. For this, the
agriculture land is divided into smaller plots for housing , etc
purposes with infrastructure facilities of roads, sewerage system,
drainage system, water pipelines, lighting, etc. Hence, at the end ,
only about 50% or so portion of the agriculture land is utilized for
actual housing plots. In addition, the cost of infrastructure
development has to be shared by all the residential plot holders
proportionately. Thus , cost of residential land is per unit area is
always more than the cost of agriculture land.

we have taken not to optimize for singe, but for multiple
compatible land‐uses. Towards this end a matrix was developed
with all prospective land‐uses on each coordinate. Each land‐use
was then tested against all others to determine compatibility,
incompatibility and two intervening degrees.

devoted to the consequences of the operation of these land‐uses.
Where there is industrial waste dumping area, there will be acid

the inter compatibility of land‐uses, the natural determinants for
their occurrence and the consequences of their operation.

When the results of the matrix are applied, the maximum
potential conjunction of coexisting and compatible land uses is
revealed. In every case the dominant or codominants are
associated with minor compatible land‐uses.

There are design implications here since the functional
positioning of parts relative to three‐dimensional

of land‐use and transportation are ultimately
complemented by visual and perceptual end results.
