ACKNOWLEDGMENT
First of all, we would love to express our humble gratitude toward Allah Almighty for guiding us through this whole course of

actions. This report is earnestly devoted to our cherished guardians, who have been our wellspring of motivation, and who

consistently give their ethical otherworldly, enthusiastic, and monetary help. To our educators, siblings, family members, tutors,

companions, seniors, and schoolmates who shared their expressions of counsel and consolation for the completion of our

report.

Finally, thanks to our advisor for planning surveys, Dr, Zareen Shahid, for her patience and enthusiasm. She guided us through

every problematic stage and even spared her free time to instruct us through this process. We would also like to go forward and

appreciate the response of those residents and friends who helped us to collect the required data about their intermixed land

use in the Township.

ABSTRACT
Being a third-world country, Pakistan is facing major issues of planning failures, broken infrastructure, traffic mismanagement,

poor employment, and many more. Lack of resources and increasing population are making it difficult to tackle the problems

faced by this country. It demands modern and sustainable stances to overcome these issues. Keeping all of this in view, we

surveyed and analyzed the problems of Union Council 132 of Lahore District. All residential and commercial land uses were

observed and residents there were subjected to a brief interview. Problems were identified, maps were developed, and solutions

were proposed as needed.

INTRODUCTION
1. Introduction to Planning and Surveys

“By far the greatest and most admirable form of wisdom is that needed to plan and
beautify cities and human communities” -Socrates
Planning is the prime functional principle, which involves deciding ahead of time, what’s needed to be done when it must be

done, how it should be done, and by whom it should be done. It is a thoughtful process that goes into the process of formulation

of the organization’s objectives and goals and develops several courses of action, by which the organization can achieve those

objectives and goals.

Planning and surveys are a part of a continuous sequential process as one is impractical without the other. The surveyors are

the eyes of the planner in the technical space. The town planner is considered the core force that is there so that both survey

data and planning requirements can coexist together(The Relationship between Town Planning & Land Surveying - Arnold

Development Consultants, n.d.). Data collected from surveys is served as a basis for planning purposes while planning with an

insufficient supply of survey data won’t be an effective one. A series of unbiased questions asked directly from the residents of

the selected areas can help us in planning our cities efficiently and more effectively.

2. Importance of City Planning


Urban planning and design shape the environment around us – and that environment, in turn, shapes how we live, work, play,

move, and rest. Cities have historically been planned and designed for men and by men. Urban areas will house 70 percent of

the world’s population by 2050, getting town planning right is vital to ensuring that future areas are safe and resilient places,

especially for the poorest of residents. Planning has and will play an important role in improving the quality of life in urban areas

(The Importance of Town Planning TO Poverty Alleviation - The Borgen Project, n.d.).

Planning is there to help us by the improvement of future growth and by establishing objectives and selecting a course of action

for the anticipated benefits and advantages of the community. It will be minimizing risk and uncertainty by looking ahead into

the future. It supports the coordination among urban activities, thereby hampering the overlapping of activities and reducing

unproductive work.

3. Aims
The study aims to observe and analyze the existing land use patterns of Township, Lahore, and to understand the

socioeconomic determinants of land use there. The study has been constructed as a part of the course requirement of Planning

Surveys of 2nd Year of Department of City and Regional Planning, University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore. The aim

Township Report | 9
can be further elaborated as an attempt to give the students a field experience of the theoretical aspects studied in the class.

The collection of data and then the processing and analyzing of the raw data give further pro-technical training for conducting

future surveys.

4. Goals and Objectives


In this task of writing a report about the selected union council, some major objectives were taken into consideration which are

stated as follows:

✓ To understand the socio-economic condition of the selected union council


✓ To observe the current land use pattern of the selected area and its contributing factors
✓ To describe the change in land use pattern and highlight reasons for this change
✓ To determine the man-environment relationship in the selected union council
✓ To depict the land and its uses concerning human behavior and the socio-economic condition of the study area.
✓ To represent and visualize the findings with map-making processes in AutoCAD or GIS.
✓ To know exactly what is lacking and what is needed for the development of the selected union council.
✓ To throw light on the inter-relationship of activities of town i.e., whether a particular development has provided a
favorable or adverse effect on its surroundings.
✓ To get people’s perception about the problems of that area and suggest suitable solutions for them.
✓ To develop an integrated informational data set of all the features of the union council which can be easily used by
any development authority or planner for future plans and projects

5. Planning Related Problems in Pakistan: Case Study of Karachi


Since its creation, Pakistan is facing major issues in the wake of city planning and population control and management. By

throwing a look back in the past, we can easily observe that the traffic conditions, street patterns, settlements, population,

demand, and supply of households were not in the same way as they are in the present era. We had inherited planning laws

here in Pakistan that are a pinnacle of flaws. (Our Cities Are Us, n.d.)

Now the population has increased to that horrifying immense level where it is presenting new challenges in the path of attaining

sustainable developments. Through the conduction of planning surveys, the establishment of new settlements, which are going

to be planned shortly, becomes very easy and the planner will be compelled to plan them according to modern planning

patterns by attaining maximum sustainability.

• Waste Management Issues

The basic cause of the upheaving and ever-growing waste management crisis in Pakistan is the hiring of corrupt beings in the

waste management department, inefficient bureaucracy, lack of planning, the collapse of the local administrative system,

obsolete infrastructure, and deficiency of public awareness.

The following example is from Karachi where a large heap of garbage was observed and it was recorded in the Hindustan Times.

The city of Karachi having approximately 20-25 million people produces roughly 12,000 tons of garbage on daily basis.(Karachi,

a Megacity of Towering High-Rises, Now Battles Garbage Problem | World News - Hindustan Times, n.d.)

Township Report | 10
Figure 1: Garbage heaps in Karachi

• Water and Sanitation Issues

Water pollution is one of the major threats to public health in Pakistan. Drinking water quality is poorly managed and monitored.

Pakistan ranks at number 80 among 122 nations regarding drinking water quality. Drinking water sources, both surface and

groundwater are contaminated with coliforms, toxic metals and pesticides throughout the country (Azizullah et al., 2011).

Excessive use of fertilizers, unmonitored draining of industrial waste in natural water bodies, lack of necessary provision of

facilities along with the lack of guidance, all are presenting major issues for residential communities in Pakistan. (Water

Pollution in Pakistan – Causes, and Control - Book Hut, n.d.)

Figure 2: Drainage Issues in Pakistan, Urban Center Example

• Haphazard Development and Urban Sprawl

Urban sprawl has been described as the unrestricted growth in many urban areas of housing, commercial development, and

roads over large expanses of land, with little concern for urban planning (Sarkodie et al., 2020).

According to the statement of the World Bank, Pakistan’s urbanization can be attributed as all ‘messy and hidden’: Messy from

low-density sprawl and hidden as cities grow far and beyond the demarked administrative boundaries. Unplanned settlements

are making up a large portion of our megacities while the agricultural subdivision is in continual increase.(Pakistan Urban

Sprawl - Search, n.d.)

6. Scope of Study
The scope of this report is limited to describing the major characteristics of the selected area based on secondary data

collection, with a specific focus on the preparation of a land-use map of the selected area, in which major land uses of the area

would be marked and labeled. The study in this report is limited to our Hometown which is Township, Lahore.

7. Project Details
Our respected teacher Ma’am Zareen Shahid of the CRP Department gave us the task to prepare a detailed report on a Town of

our choice. She gave us the liberty to choose because it would be a lot more convenient for us to write about our interests. We

were asked to prepare a land-use map of the selected area and then to prepare a socio-economic questionnaire followed by

writing a report based on data collected from the survey and the questionnaires.

8. Selection Process
This particular council was selected due to the availability of location information and familiarity with the region.

Another reason is that it is also one of the planned residential zones of a metropolis, Lahore in the developing

country (Pakistan) located within South Asia.

We did a whole kind of research on specific areas using secondary data sources and finally, we concluded that we

will be selecting Township as our study area because of the following reasons:

• Established and planned area


• Large residential area
• A large number of boulevard road
• A prime commercial area
• Proper established road network system
• Proper block system
Township Report | 12
• Educated people who can give specific answers to the questions
• People will be showing calm behavior
• It will be easy to elaborate questions to them
• It would be quite easier for us to get pictorial data if required.

9. Steps Involved
The assignment is related to the land-use map of any case study area, preferred to be our HOMETOWN. For this purpose,

Township was being selected, then a digitized map of the whole area was prepared with the help of AutoCAD Software, with

different colors and different symbols representing residential buildings, commercial buildings, industrial units, and parks,

graveyards, etc. After the completion of this task, every type of building is described in each mentioned category. Some pictures

related to the buildings are also inserted for a clear view of the overall report methodology.

10. Conclusion
Karachi and Lahore, these two metropolises of Pakistan have observed the development of large real estate schemes by both

private and military developers. (The Six Biggest Challenges Facing Pakistan’s Urban Future - IGC, n.d.) Lack of sufficient urban

planning to accommodate steep growth, urban centers can become hotbeds of haphazardness and instability rather than

engines of production and innovation.

Keeping in view the above discussion, we can come to the conclusion that if we want our cities and communities to thrive and

excel then there must be proper environment. Better environment will lead to creative and innovative developments and will

help the country to progress by leaps and bonds.

Township Report | 13
INTRODUCTION TO UNION COUNCIL-132
Township is a developed area and union council of a metropolis, Lahore located in Iqbal Tehsil, Punjab, Pakistan. It

is one of the largest residential neighborhoods, which was planned during the President Ayyub Khan administration

in the 1950s.(Township, Lahore - Wikipedia, n.d.)

Township Lahore is situated near one of the main arteries of Lahore, Madar-e-Millat Road. College Road is also

sharing the border with this housing society. It is surrounded by several eminent housing societies that can be

observed in the section of map analysis.

Figure 5: (Township, Lahore - Wikipedia, n.d.)

1. Population and Area


Township Lahore is one of the city's oldest residential areas. The population density in the area under study is pretty

high as vacant plots are less and many are already under construction. Commercial activity is at its peak and it

occupy a noticeable segment of town where residential land use still got its fair share. Area covered under this union

council is considerably large where union council office is located at the heart of it.

Union council number 132 and 133 were planned together and they share some history, so most maps are

integrated and they can’t be found separated. The administrative area of the Township along with its population is

given in the table below.

Table 1: Population and Area of Township

132 Township Allama Iqbal 65630 2970025 Sq. m

133 Township Allama Iqbal 55212 4060270 Sq. m

Township Report | 14
2. Township Residential Subdivision
It's a master-planned neighborhood with four distinct sections, named A, B, C, and D. These sectors are further

subdivided into two categories.

Sectors A1 and A2 are in Sector A, sectors B1 and B2 are in Sector B, sectors C1 and C2 are in Sector C, and sectors

D1 and D2 are in Sector D. Well-known commercial streets, educational institutions, medical facilities, and all

significant transit services can be found in the region.

Figure 6: Residential Subdivision

3. Significance of the Area


Real estate of this area offers commercial, semi-commercial, and residential plots, houses, flats, apartments, shops, plazas,

and outlets for sale or rent. One of its finest features is the recently constructed road networks which have added to the value of

commercial and residential properties in Township. It has ideal houses equipped with all the basic amenities and other

advanced facilities to experience quality living.

Apart from these, education facilities are up to the notch where recreational means are never ignored for all income groups.

Prominent landmarks highlight its importance where some of them are:

• Champian Corporation

• Jinnah Islamia College

• Maharaja Palace

• Pakistan Wushu Federation - PWUF

• Model Bazar Quaid Township

• Quaid-e-Azam Industrial Estate

• Grocere

5. Google Earth Satellite Image
Google Earth Pro is a geospatial tool developed by Google, shown as an interactive virtual globe that depicts our planet earth.

From here, information and maps can be configured, and magnified, providing users with an updated satellite view of the

planet. The Township boundary is visually clear in the given map below:

Figure 11: (Google Earth, n.d.)

6. Conclusion
All the above maps were taken from secondary sources and they all are highlighting the prime location of Township in real-world

and also administrative boundary of the region is clearly shown. We can’t just deny the importance of maps because of the

following reasons:

• Maps simplify complicated information. …

• Maps are functional tools. …

• Maps can help in better analysis. …

• Maps can save time and resources …

• Maps provide safety in a world of detached humans. …

• Maps are a blueprint of our history. …

• Maps are the efficient form of visual aids. …

• Maps are the models of reality

Next stage of our report will be the map development were base maps and land use map will be constructed for surveys and

some of them will be showing land division and its use.

Township Report | 18
METHODOLOGY FOR MAP CONSTRUCTION
1. Software Used
Google Maps and Google Earth Pro were used to extract base maps while AutoCAD was used for the development of the map of

the targeted union council. AutoCAD is computer-aided design software. It allows you to draw and edit digital 2D and 3D designs

more quickly and easily than you could by hand.

2. Drawing Process
Google map shown above was imported in AutoCAD and then tracing was done with different tools and features present in

AutoCAD. AutoCAD has a very versatile user interface that allows you to control the program in several different ways.

3. AutoCAD Drafting
This specific stage is concerned with particular data and the production of detailed drawings using cad modeling. This process

takes a lot of time considering the important specific details of the map.

Figure 12: AutoCAD Drafting Stage

Township Report | 19
4. Results
Finally, the drawn map was extracted in the jpg format which is given below showing major roads and street layouts and blocks

are labeled upon specified areas along with prominent spaces.

5. Conclusion
Here, all the data was gathered from secondary sources. All maps were analyzed and major roads and arteries were identified

so that we can further proceed with the sequential process of surveys and further analyze collected data from primary sources.

There are multiple types of land uses observed in Township and named as follow:

• Commercial
• Residential
• Educational
• Public places
• Open spaces
• Food and catering

MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS
Township is one of the city's most populous residential areas in Lahore. The neighborhood was planned and built

PLANNING SURVEYS
Our study comprises of field surveys that are conducted for urban planning purposes of UC-132. All urban activities take up the

spatial form of urban land use and understanding such elements directly leads to a better comprehension of urban planning.

The data collected from different types of surveys is properly analyzed in relation to the area under consideration and they are

recorded on maps, charts, graphs, schedules and models. Surveys are meant to view in detail, especially to inspect or examine in

order to forecast the condition or situation the principal objects of surveys for the City and Regional planning are as follows:

• The people, their interests and occupations and how they follow them,

• The land and buildings and how they serve their interests

The planning survey does not start just of its own, it has to be organized with meticulous care from beginning to end and various

processes concerned with such survey are suitably collected, processed, arranged and interpreted. Thus, the essential ingredient of

a purposeful town planning survey is to arrange the facts of investigation in the best possible scientific manner.

1. Land Use Survey


A land-use survey is generally done for land use planning. It is for the preparation of land use maps and is the basic planning

survey. The mapping of all the settlements, both residential and commercial, will be highly detailed. This survey have the

following advantages:

• The use of any given piece of land affects not only the people living in that area but also of the surroundings areas.

• Land Use Survey helps in comparing the land prices of different pockets of land.

• It helps in controlling the conversion of use of land from one aspect to another.

• It helps in different departments to get to know the value of land at different locations.

• Land Use Maps helps in preparation of Zoning Plans.

• Services Provision require an updated land use map of the area

▪ Base Map Construction

There are open sources (i.e., permit users to modify, disseminate, and use the data in any manner) and also allow individuals to

insert, structure, and update information. Specifically, regarding urban uses, Google Maps, for example, allows us to add the

location of our ‘business’ and identify it later.

So, the base map and initial information was taken from Google Maps. Secondary data was a major source and then survey was

done later to verify details, updating the base map further. For the evaluation of existing zoning provisions, the study of existing

land use is a necessary element.

Township Report | 35
Figure 39: Base Map from Google maps

▪ Procedures

We went out for survey on the 20th of March, 2022 at peak hours so commercial use can be best understood. Land uses were

compared with the base map and any change in its pattern was corrected on the base map. All unidentified places were visited

and main landmarks were noticed.

We interacted with people there for the better understanding of mixed land use. This was helpful in the scenario when

commercial activities were operating on the ground floors and the upper floors were there for residential use.

▪ Plot Division

Land use generally refers to the categorization or classification of human activities and natural elements on the landscape within a

specific time frame based on established scientific and statistical methods of analysis of appropriate source materials. The growth of

a society totally depends on its social and economic development. This is the basic reason why socio-economic surveys are carried

out. This type of survey includes both spatial and non-spatial datasets.

Land-use maps play a significant and prime role in planning, management and monitoring programs at local, regional and national

levels. AutoCAD was used for further plot division and verification was done with the results of our survey analysis. Later, hatch

was applied to particular places for the demarcation of various land uses. Legend will be provided along the land use map,

showing varied land uses of the area

Township Report | 36
Figure 40: Plot divisions

▪ Development of Land Use Map

AutoCAD was useful when we had to digitalize the base map with updated information. Standard colors were used for identifying

different land-use patterns. Proper plot cutting and land use division were taken into consideration as the comparative study of

existing land use should be of help in the shaping of future land-use policies. This type of information, on one hand, provides a

better understanding of land utilization aspects and on the other hand, it plays an important role in the formation of policies and

programs required for development planning.

For ensuring sustainable development, it is necessary to monitor the ongoing process on land use pattern over a period of time. In

order to achieve sustainable urban development and to check the haphazard development of towns and cities, it is necessary that

authorities associated with the urban development generate such planning models so that every bit of available land can be used in

most rational and optimal way.

▪ Final Map

The final map was produced with the following appearance where the legend is provided for further guidance. It is showing

multiple land uses within the provided study area and each plot is separately distinguished.

Township Report | 37
Figure 41: Land use map

Legend for the above map is provided as follow from which multiple land uses will be identified.

2. Socio-economic Survey
A socio-economic survey enables us to consider the realities and insights of a wide range of societal issues. It is done through a

statistically validated set of data and information, enabling them to be more transparent to the risks and opportunities they will

be facing in future.

This survey allowed the local community to learn about the project and its activities that may affect the surrounding

environment and society. It involves a set of procedures including

• research plan and key indicators


• questionnaire preparation
• data collection & verification
• field surveys
• interviews
• focus group discussions
• analysis
• interpretation and communications
• Research Plan

Designing the study parameters based on research objectives and thereby pointing out the necessary factors accordingly is the

initial and most crucial step. By conducting socio-economic surveys, you get a lot of data about the social, political and

economic aspects of the territory. This data helps us visualize the current scenario and the consequences of our decision.

• Key Indicators

This qualitative study focused on the process through which people make their livings, experiences, and constructed their lives.

Major activities were identified and were subjected to questions.

• Demographic information (age, education status, health status, work status of household members)
• Income levels and sources
• Expenditure level and expenditure heads
• Assets – quantity, value, and ownership
• Availability, use, and sources of household facilities (water, sanitation, fuel)
• Availability, access, and use of public facilities (education, health, sanitation, etc.)

• Questionnaire Construction

While its construction, the following points were taken into consideration:

• To limit the length of the questionnaire, within each section, all questions were subjected to test for verification so they
must have a purpose and collect useful information
• In household surveys, closed-ended questions are preferable, with the following possible answers
• List of options to be ticked (qualitative variables)
• Yes/no (dummy variables)
• Numbers (quantitative variables)

Township Report | 39
▪ Components of Questionnaire

Our questionnaire consists of the following required sections as instructed by our Professor:

➢ Objectives
➢ About Interviewee
➢ Demographic Information
➢ Education
➢ Expenditures
➢ Energy Consumptions
➢ Health Facilities
➢ Environment and Neighborhood
➢ Recreation
➢ Economic Conditions
➢ Transportation
➢ General Infrastructure
➢ Water
➢ Suggestions
▪ Field Surveys and Interviews

We went out on 30th March 2022 in the evening for a survey along with our printed questionnaire. The questionnaire is the

maximum obvious method of facts series, that is produced from a set of questions associated with the research. This method

could be very convenient in case the records are to be collected from a diverse population. It especially consists of the

broadcast set of questions, either open-ended or closed-ended, which the respondents are required to answer based on their

know-how and get to know with the issues concerned. It is to be noted that these primary data collection methods can be used

to collect both qualitative and quantitative data.

• After the Reconnaissance survey, we were well familiar with the situation of the Township.
• Then, we started to make the questionnaire by keeping in view the situation of that area.
• After many attempts, we finalized our questionnaire with the guidance of our respected Professor.

▪ Sampling Method

There is a certain method of a household survey. The survey is not conducted in every house in your study area but in certain

houses marked through a method called sampling. Our worthy teacher Ma’am Zareen Shahid gave us a detailed lecture on

sampling in which she described all the types of sampling and their advantages and disadvantages. She described sampling in

the following words:

“Strategies which enable you to pick a subgroup from a larger group and then use
this subgroup as a basis for making judgments about the larger group.”
▪ Distinct Locations

Township Report | 40
Household surveys were done in two steps. The first batch of 20 surveys was done first and after that, we went out the next

week for another 30 interviews.

▪ Phase 1:
For sampled surveying, we first went out and surveyed the following 20 locations and they are shown on the following map.

• Al-Madina Road, Township Block 13 Sector B 1 Lahore


• Plot 117, Township Block 13 Sector B 1 Lahore
• Plot 104, Township Block 13 Sector B 1 Lahore
• PLOT NO 298 TOWNSHIP, Sector B-1 Block 13 Sector B 1 Lahore

Figure 42 : location points of first 20 interviews

Township Report | 41
▪ Phase 2:
In the second phase of the socio-economic survey, we were instructed to conduct the next 30 interviews and those 30 should

be more dispersed around the area. So, the rest of the locations are marked as follows.

▪ Analysis of Collected Information

Socio-economic analysis is a well-established method of weighing up the pros and cons of an action for society as a whole and

plays a vital role in the restrictions and authorization processes under REACH. The data was then analyzed and contemporary

data sets were developed to acquire maximum information about the residents. Asking too many open-ended questions can add

time and complexity to your analysis because it produces qualitative results that aren’t numerically based. Meanwhile, closed-

ended questions generate results that are easier to analyze. This would be helpful for further plans and provisions in the area.

Charts and tables are constructed in the very step. We will analyze our data by using the following ways:

• Calculating results using your top survey questions

• Determine sample size

• Cross-tabulation and filtering results

• Benchmarking, trending, and comparative data

• Drawing conclusions

▪ Summarizing Results and Drawing Conclusions

After the processing and analysis of data, we had to make a decision based on our data output and results and hence we were

bound to propose some recommendations.

Township Report | 42
SURVEY ANALYSIS
Survey data analysis is the process of turning the raw material of your survey data into insights and answers you can use to

improve things for your area. It’s an essential part of doing survey-based research. Survey analysis refers to the process of

analyzing your results from customer (and other) surveys. The type of questions you ask and the number of responses you

receive will shape the way you perform survey analysis. A survey analysis report provides the bigger picture as communicated by

the data. So, it’s just a report that conveys a story to the audience.

1. About Interviewee
Age, education and marital status, address, contacts were asked from the interviewee. This information will be

helpful if we were needed to collect further information from them. Gathered information was entered and analyzed

CONCLUSION
This report includes all the information and data collected from the field. A lot of hard work, consistency, continuous struggle,

and brainstorming during this research work made us able to organize such a comprehensive and well-structured report. This

report has all the techniques required to examine, study, and have knowledge about the selected area.

In this report, we not only developed different kinds of map including location map and land use map, but also tends to analyze

the condition of the study area with such maps.

• Land use map illustrates the information about the circulation pattern of the selected study area. Percentage of the

different land uses like commercial, residential, residential cum commercial, vacant land, green spaces public

buildings, and education centers were computed.

• In the household survey, we got to know about the socio-economic characteristics of the houses like demographic,

housing, transportation, housing and dwelling condition, etc.

As Township was the area under examination for this report, there were some limitations of that area during the working:

security issues, poor response issues, and poor response from the corresponding UC office. This part includes the conclusions

of the overall field survey of the case study area. This will show the issues of traffic congestion; services provided by the

government and Municipality Corporation as well.

Following conclusion can be drawn from the analysis section.

• Median family size remains 5 where minimum family size got 2 members and maximum were 8

• 23 households have 1 kitchen, 4 households got 3 kitchens and rest 23 got 2 kitchens in their residence

• House ownership table shows that 92 percent of houses are owned by the occupants while the remaining 8 percent of

houses in the area are at "rental lease agreement"

• Maximum education level remains to be Bachelor with 58% while the rest proportion goes to higher level

products for daily use
• Major percentage of people were spending 8000-15000 PKR per month on clothing and some were spending more

than 20000 on textile and fashion wears as it reflects their modern lifestyle

• We can easily see that people here are likely to use their own transport vehicles instead of using public transport

• Education remains the key factor for the people of this area and it can be seen from the spending on education which

remains more than 20000 PKR as the maximum frequency

bad condition. There were also residential and commercial buildings in which ground floors were used for the

commercial and the above storey were used for residence.

• Drainage system in the area was also satisfactory somewhere. But in some cases, it was not too good as there were

narrow streets and no proper way of managing stagnant water. According to many of the respondents, the quality of

water was drinkable and they were satisfied with this service.

• There were sufficient recreational and health facilities. Also, the educational facilities were good.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
By analyzing the data gathered from the household survey and our knowledge and observation of the subject area, we would

give the following recommendations based on our concise analysis:

• Sewerage and drainage system in some blocks should be upgraded

• Waste management companies should be asked to collect waste from the waste generative areas on daily basis

• Some roads in Sector B should be renovated

• Steps should be taken toward the encroachment problem

• LDA should stop the conversion of residential plots into commercial plots on immediate basis.

• Making city energy efficient includes reducing electricity, water, and fuel usage

• Another aspect of living an environmentally-friendly life is learning how to drive in a smart way that conserves petrol.

• Passive solar homes, earth-sheltered structures, and straw bale homes are a few non-traditional architectural styles

that might help toward the creation of better community

• Being energy efficient means taking action to help protect the environment but we can also allow the environment to

help us. Our landscaping can bring peace and leisure time in addition to making our city more energy efficient.
