Transportation
Health
Urban
transportation
sector accounts
for a large part in
emission of the
Green House
Gases. Growing
numbers of the
vehicle
contributing to
pollution.
In the year 2009
flood event, there
were significant
cases of vector
borne disease. In
recent years the
numbers of
patients of
Malaria, Dengue,
Chickenguniya,
Swine flu, typhoid,
yellow fever etc
have increased
With rapidly growing size of city, the city need to address the
institutional gap in transport planning. Cities require an appropriate
institutional body that will integrate the plans of bus, rail, road, air,
waterways, traffic police, and urban growth
Planning framework focused on urban transport needs with the policy
guidelines from National Urban Transport Policy 2006.
With the epidemiological research support, disease monitoring system
and Health GIS should be planned for the city.
In the Surat city, SMS based health monitoring system is operational, a
visit of IMC official to understand this system may be planned.
The Impact on Urban Transport Infrastructure in Indore is attributed to
Infrastructure Construction and Development Practices.
Special care in the Planning & construction of the road infrastructure for
the immediate relief from the water logging after heavy down pouring.
The possibilities have been modeled on temperature and rainfall
changes. Scenarios for their impacts on the development, diseases
spread should be carried out which can be integrated with GIS based
health monitoring system.
Sewerage/
Waste
Management
Inadequate
storage facilities
and mixing of
various types of
solid wastes. Poor
management of
solid waste
management
system resulting
in clogging of
natural drainage
within the city.
Solid Waste Management:
Public awareness programmes on the segregation of solid waste at
household level.
Modernization of SWM system with route planning, waste transfer
systems and integrating processing facility.
Strengthen the house to house garbage collection system.
Integrated processing facility should be designed to utilize
biodegradable, recyclable and inert waste in such a manner that the
maximum waste is utilized and negligible waste is sent for land filling
Methane liberation from MSW:
Quantity of methane liberation is increasing day by day as population
of the city and solid waste is increasing. This can pose hazardous
situation, systematic studies should be made out on this.
Maintenance:
The ULB can initiate and plan drainage cleaning programmes passing
from the city.
Scientific studies to be conducted on the impact of climate change
(temperature, precipitation) on the decomposition of the waste
disposed.
There are settlements developed along the natural drainage in the city,
their resettlement should be planned to reduce the impact of water
logging on them.
IMC should design and develop municipal waste processing facility
supported by scientific means. To achieve this goal, an integrated waste
processing facility should be developed at the earliest where in about
90% of the MSW should be converted in useful products.
