Background
The Post independence development in India has been associated with a
number of economic developments programme in the various fields like
agriculture, industry, marketing, infrastructure and certain another sector. The
urban centers have been local points for entrepreneur’s investment. This has
resulted into fast growth of urban centers over the recent years. As per 2011
census data the Municipal Corporation population was 30.46 lakh, migration
has been the major factor in urban growth according for more than the total
urban growth.
The impact of fast urban growth in the towns of Rajasthan is quite evident as
most of the new development have taken place in haphazard manner. In
absence of a proper planned road network or city development plan, the
residential colonies grew up in a much unplanned manner. This has resulted
into the lack of proper infrastructure facilities in the town leading to chaotic
conditions and related problems.

CHAPTER 2.0
STUDY AREA
PROFILE
Introduction
Location:
Jaipur city is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Its
municipal boundary of the city extends from 26⁰46' N latitude to 27 ⁰01'N latitude and
75⁰39'E longitude to 75⁰57'E longitude. The city is surrounded by the Nahargarh hills
in the north and Jhalana in the east, which is a part of Aravalli hills ranges. To its south
and west the city is surrounded by isolated and discontinuous hillocks. The southern
end of the city is an open plain stretching far and wide towards Sanganer and beyond.
The city was initially located within the walls with the rocky streets providing an easy
drainage system on either side of the city but the later extension of the city took place
towards the south and west on the alluvial plains formed in the confluence zone of the
Amani Shah Nala in the west and Jawahar Nagar Nala in the east and beyond.
Jaipur, the capital city of the Indian state of Rajasthan is situated in the eastern
border of Thar Desert, a semi-arid land. This state is one of the biggest of the country
which shares the international boundary with Pakistan on the western side. Jaipur is
popularly known as the pink city and is one of the well-planned cities in India,
apparently, also the first. It is positioned at an altitude of 1417 feet above the sea level.
On three sides, the city is enclosed by the Aravali hills and this is why, it is
safeguarded from the rough desert. In the north, it is surrounded by Sikar and
Mahendragarh district; in the south by Tonk; in the east by Alwar, Dausa and Sawai
Madhopur; and in the west by Nagaur and Ajmer district.
The total length of Jaipur extending from east to west is about 180 km whereas the
width from north to south is about 110 km. The main rivers passing through the Jaipur
are Banganga and Sabi. About 28.65 million cubic meter ground water resources are
available in Jaipur. To provide the drinking water to the old city, there is
Ramgarh dam on the River Ban Ganga. The main minerals of the city are copper, iron,
dolomite,
white marble, glass and silicon. Sambhar Lake, which is the only natural lake
with salty water is also the leading source of good quality of salt in the state as well as
country, is very close to Jaipur.
The city is well-known among pre-modern cities for the width and evenness of the
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 2 | 31
streets which are divided into six sectors separated by broad streets of 34 m (111
ft.) wide. These sectors are called as urban quarters which are further segmented by
the network of interconnecting streets. Around the east, west and south sides of a
central Palace quarter, five quarters enfold with a sixth one right away to the east. This
Palace quarter surrounds a sprawling palace complex i.e. Hawa Mahal, formal
gardens, and a small lake. The Aravali hill in the northwest end of the Jaipur is
crowned by the Nahargarh Fort which was once the home of the King Sawai Jai Singh
II. From the location of Jaipur, one is able to reach the other main cities of the country
through the various means of transport. One can easily reach Delhi, Agra and other
nearby cities through the network of roads, air and rail.
Connectivity:
By Air
Jaipur International Airport located in the satellite town of Sanganer, 11 kms from the
city centre is the main air gateway to Jaipur. There are direct flights to major Indian
cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Aurangabad and
there are international flights from jaipur to Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Muscat. The
up gradation of the Jaipur airport has led to improved connectivity and wider choice
of services to air travellers, boosting international tourism and economic development
of the region.
Railways
Jaipur is connected to New Delhi and all main cities in India.From Delhi, there are
many trains that connect Jaipur and other cities in Rajasthan. Palace on Wheels is the
most well-known train mainly used by tourists. Other important trains include,
Shatabdi Express, Jaipur-Delhi double decker and Pink City Express both from Delhi.
Roads
Jaipur is well connected to all the major cities around the state of Rajasthan. The
National Highway No 8 links Delhi-Mumbai via Jaipur, Udaipur, National Highway
No 12 links Jaipur-Jabalpur via Kota, Jhalawar, Bhopal and National Highway No 11
links Agra-Bikaner via Jaipur. RSRTC operates bus service to all the parts of Rajasthan,
New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. Jaipur is part of the
Golden Travel Circuit of India that includes Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur.
Local-Transport
Taxis and autos are the most convenient way of moving inside the city as well as to
reach some of the locations in the proximity. To move inside the city, you can also look
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 3 | 31
for cycle rickshaws, which are easily available and much cheaper than other
transportation modes.
Jaipur City Transport Services Limited (JCTSL), RSRTC under JNNURM, operates City
buses. The three major bus depots are Vaishali Nagar, Vidhyadhar Nagar and
Sanganer. Private cabs are also avaliable like Metro, Meru, Ola and many more.
Jaipur-Metro
A rapid transit rail project by the name Jaipur Metro is under progress. It will provide
means of faster commuting for the city residents. Jaipur Metro phase-1A is started and
is connecting Mansarover to Chandpole and Phase 1B will be started soon from
Chandpole to Badi Chopar via Choti Chopar.
Climate:
Jaipur city falls under the semi-arid of climate and experiences a continental type of
climate owing to its proximity to the desert and inland location. It is characterized by
hot summers and cold winters. The mean temperature of Jaipur is 36°C varying from
18°C in winter (January) to 45°C in summer (June). The normal rainfall of Jaipur is 600
mm nearly 90 percent of 41 which takes place in the summer monsoon period from
(June to September) and the rest comes from the winter cyclones. Temperature and
Rainfall The month of May experiences the maximum temperature and January
experiences minimum temperature. Jaipur city recorded the maximum temperature of
45.2°C and minimum temperature of 2.5°C in the year 2001 and the maximum
temperature of 45.7°C and minimum temperature of 2.2°C in the year 2011.

Figure 2.1: Monthly variation in temperature of Jaipur city
Monthly variation in temperature of Jaipur city Heat wave prevails for a few
days when day temperature rises 4°C to 6°C above normal. During winter season,
minimum temperatures remain at about 4°C to 9°C and fall below 0°C when chilly
winds (northerly) blow from the Himalayan region. Mist and Fog occur in the morning
hours after passage of western disturbances. The minimum temperature of -2.2°C was
recorded on 31st January, 1905 and 16th January, 1964. The surge in temperature starts
from April and peaks in the month of June. The downward trend in
temperatures commences in September and continues up to January.
The mean annual rainfall is around 60 mm. Maximum rainfall is 198.8 mm
which occurred in the month of August in 2006. Rainfall increases from the month of
June when thundering activities start, and July and August are the rainiest months.
Monsoon withdraws in the middle of September. Rainfall decreases sharply in
October and November.

Figure 2.2: Monthly average precipitation of Jaipur City
Figure 2.2 shows the month wise average rainfall of Jaipur for the period from
2004 to 2008. Dust storms occur frequently during summer months leading to increase
in particulate matter in the atmosphere. The monsoon season witnesses least pollution
due to frequent washout of pollutants along with rains.
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 5 | 31
Wind
Wind is also an important climatic factor affecting the environmental conditions
of any region. In Jaipur, the average annual monthly wind speed varies from 3 to 10
kmph. Wind speed reaches its maximum in summers due to dust storms
(Figure 2.3). Maximum wind speed recorded in Jaipur was 11.3 kmph on 31st May,
2008.
(Source: http://www.imd.gov.in/)

Humidity
Humidity The higher humidity in urban areas viz. rural areas can be explained
by different moisture sources and by different energy balances in their respective
environments. Studies being carried out with the rural and urban air humidity
differences reveal found that urban humidity is higher than humidity in rural areas
(Unger, 1999). This is due to the fact that the moisture capacity in air in urban area is
higher than the rural area because of the higher urban temperature.
Jaipur records the lowest humidity in the month of April. May onward
humidity picks up and increases gradually to reach its highest in the month of August.
Subsequently it decreases slowly up to the month of November. But again, shows an

In Jaipur District, total recorded area under forest is 631sq. km, which includes
reserve forest protected forest and other forests (FSI, 2009). The forest cover estimated
from satellite images of Jaipur city were 57.33 sq. km in 2011 shown is in Figure 2.5 (a).
Total area under forest has decreased by 10.93 sq. km in the last decade of 2001-2011.

The general slope of Jaipur city and its surroundings is from north to south and then to
south-east. Nearly all ephemeral streams flow in this direction. Higher elevations in
the north exist in the form of low, flat-topped hills of Nahargarh (587 meters). Jaigarh,
Amber and Amargarh hills are deeply dissected and eroded. An isolated hillock called
‘Moti Dungri’ upon which an old royal castle exists is near the Rajasthan University.
Further in the south, topographical levels of the plain areas varies between 280 meters
along Bandi and Dhund rivers to some 530 meters in the north-east of Chomu near
Samod hills. The overall trend is a decline of slope from the areas bordering the hills in
the north to low lying gentle plains in the south.
Jaipur city situated in middle part of Jaipur District in Rajasthan. The area is a Pedi
plain covered with thick alluvium and aeolian deposits of Quaternary age. A few
isolated, linear ridges and hillocks trending ENE-WSW to NE-SW form prominent
landmarks in the northwestern part of the area. The maximum height near Kalwar is
515m above mean sea level. Meta-sedimentary rocks, metapelites, migmatites and
gneisses of Precambrian age occur in some rocky outcrops and also concealed under
thick cover of alluvium and aeolian sand. Jaipur city is covered with several soil units
and also some other physical features such as sand dunes, rocky outcrops, water
bodies etc. Sandy soil with severe erosion and high salinity and shallow skeletal soils
are major limiting factors affecting crop choice in the region. Soils of the Aravalli
landscape are mainly derived from the argillaceous deposits composed of slates,
phyllites and mica schist along with granite and quartzite.
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The natural drainage of the Jaipur city is largely guided by erosion. Figure 2.5 (b)
shows the drainage network of JMC area. Intense gully erosion characterizes the city
particularly the northern hilly region. Dhund River and Amanishah nala form a fork
like drainage pattern in the confluence zone in which the major part of Jaipur city is
situated. The Amanishah nala originates from the western slopes of Jaigarh hills and
flows northwards in the upper reaches, turns south and south-west in its middle
course and flows towards east with a broad semi-circular course. Further downstream
it joins the Dhund River. There is another small drainage system in the northern
foothills which presently discharges the city’s waste effluents into an artificially
impounded lake called the Jal Mahal (Man Sagar). Jal Mahal Lake is now a large
cesspool of effluent waste water changing its profile from muddy water mixed with
effluents and sludge during rainy season to a dried large puddle surrounded by
parched Assessment of Impact of Urbanization on Micro-Climate in Jaipur Urban
Complex based on Satellite Derived Parameters 46 earthen floor during summer
season. The Jaipur municipal area has an adequate planned storm water drainage
system.
Surface Water
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 8 | 31
For Jaipur city, most of the surface water sources originate from nearby hills which act
as drainage channels for rainwater. The city is drained by a number of seasonal rivers,
of which Banganga, Dhundh and Bandi are prominent. There is no perennial surface
water source in the city. Amanishah Nallah is a seasonal stream that flow from north
to south near the city. Dhund river to the east of the city. Ramgarh Lake was the main
source of supply more than 30 years back but has now dried up.
Ground Water
In Jaipur city ground water quality is variable with some areas largely within
permissible limits as per Indian Standard (IS) 10500, and concentrations of nitrates and
fluorides exceeding limits in other locations. The widespread use of septic tanks
throughout the city is possibly one factor contributing to the high concentration of
nitrates in the groundwater. The wastewater from soak pits leaches into the ground
and contaminates the groundwater strata (LEA & CEPT 2005). The drinking water
standards provide for monitoring or regulating only chemicals and metals in water,
but not the bacteriological counts (IS 10500). Thus, the extent of fecal contamination of
tube-well drinking water in the city is not known but the high presence of nitrates
could be considered a proxy indicator.

Demographic Profile
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 9 | 31
The population in Jaipur city has increased more than 10 times in the last 50
years. In 1900 the population of city was only 1.6 lakh. In 2001 Jaipur Municipal
Corporation had population of 23.22 lakh which reached to 30.46 lakh in 2011.
Regarded as one of the fastest growing cities in the country, it has an average annual
growth rate of 2.38 percent as compared to the national urban growth rate of
approximately 2 percent in 2011. The annual average population growth rate from
1971 to 1981 was in the range of 3.67 and 3.73 percent. Thus, population growth rate
was the highest in the year 1981 but it declined sharply by 2.69 percent in 2001 and
10.86 percent in 2011. The current sex ratio of Jaipur city stands at 909 females per 1000
males. The city population is increasing at a rate of 2 percent every year.
(Source: Census of India 1941, 1951,1961, 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001 & 2011)
Table 2.2: Rate of population growth in Jaipur City (1941 -2011)
Population Distribution
The total population of Jaipur city according to the 2011 census is 3.04 million
and has shown a consistent increase in the past 50 years. Table 2.2 shows the trends of
city’s population growth over past eight decades. The distribution of Assessment of
Impact of Urbanization on Micro-Climate in Jaipur Urban Complex based on Satellite
Derived Parameters 49 population is very uneven at ward level. Detailed ward wise
population distribution of 2000 and 2011 has been enclosed as Appendix 2 & 3.
Inter-ward contrasts are due to varying size of the wards and wide variations in their
resource bases. The population has increased by 7.2 lakh (Figure 2.6) during the past
decade. The area of JMC from 200 sq. km in 1991 to 218 sq. km in 1991 and further to
288 sq km in 2001 due to the addition of Bagru, Bassi and Chomu tehsils in the
municipal area. 86 percent of the total population lives in the JMC area, of which 14
percent lives in the walled city. While the proportion of population living
within the JMC has increased (primarily due to expansion in area), the proportion of
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 10 | 31
population in the walled city has declined in 2011. This can be regarded as positive
phenomenon as the walled city is already very densely populated.
The walled city has a spatial extent of only 6.7 sq. km housing nearly four lakh
people. A per 2011 census the population of walled city has declined in 2011 as
compared to 2001. The reason for this is out movement of inhabitants from the area to
new residential colonies being developed in peripheral part of the city for better living
environment.
Population Density
Population density is an important measure to analyze population distribution.
Jaipur city’s population density of 6523 persons sq. km is much higher than 1981
population density (2624 persons sq. km). Figure 2.7 clearly shows that the population
density of the walled city area is 42008 persons sq. km in 2013 as decreased by 16201
persons sq. km in 1981. The total area of the walled city is 6.7 sq. km (2.32 percent of
the total area of JMC) in 2001. This is despite the fact that density has declined from
1991 to 2013. Figure 2.7 shows the population density of JMC area as a whole for
different years. It is evident that the rest of the JMC area has relatively low population
density. But in 2011 it was higher as compared to 2001. In 2001 population density of
JMC was 5027 persons sq. km which increased phenomenally by 1566 persons sq. km
to 6593 persons sq. km in 2011.

Figure 2.7: Temporal change in population density of JMC area
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 12 | 31
The population of Jaipur city grew at an accelerated rate which rose from 3.67
percent in 1971 to 3.46 percent in 2001(figure 2.8). After 1971 it has been observed
declining trend. In 2011, the average annual growth rate of population declined to 2.38
percent. The major growth has occurred outside the walled city area. The population
growth within the walled city was nearly equal to that of the rest of the JMC area
between 1981-1991. However, between 1991-2001, the walled city has witnessed a
decline in population growth rate as compared to JMC area which has increased partly
due to migration and also due to expansion in the JMC area.
Migration Pattern
Jaipur city attracts population from all parts of the state. The proportion of in-
migrants to the total population of the city in 1991 was 29 percent which decreased to
27 percent in 2001. However, the absolute number of migrants to the city has
been increasing. From 1991 to 2001 nearly 2 lakh migrants were added to the city
increasing the number of migrants from 4 lakh to 6 lakhs. The characteristics of
migration have been briefly assessed in the following sections
. (Source: Census of India 1991, 2001, 2011 & CDP report 2001) Figure 2.9:
Comparison of rural-urban migrants in 1991, 2001 and 2011
The rural–urban migration pattern shows that almost equal of number of
people from both villages and different towns and cities came to Jaipur in the census
year 1991. As per 2001 census the in-migrants from urban area increased to 53.4
percent and the share of rural in-migrants decreased to 46.6 percent (Figure 2.9). This
implies that population from lower order urban centers are migrating to Jaipur for
better opportunities. 70 percent of the in-migrants to Jaipur were from Rajasthan in
1991 and 30 percent from other parts of the country. In 2001 the state share decreased
by 2 percent and the national figure rose to 32 percent. Nearly 35 percent migrants in
1991 were from within Jaipur district and nearly 65 percent from other districts of the
state.
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 13 | 31
In 2001 the in-district figures decreased by 10 percent and outside-district figure
grew by 10 percent. Trends suggest that Jaipur is gaining importance as a favored
destination not only within the state but also at the national level.
The main force causing migration to the city have been employment, marriage
and members moving along with the households which include mostly the old, the
females, children and domestic helps. Employment accounts for nearly one-fourth of
the total migrants to Jaipur. The second important reason for migration is marriage.
However, the number of in-migrants in this category has decreased from 28 percent in
1991 to 17 percent in 2001. The increase in number of in-migrants is due to increase in
number of jobs especially in commerce and services and in industries to a lesser extent.
As per the Master Plan 2011 nearly 36 percent of the migrants work in the informal
sector.

CHAPTER 3.0
For carrying out parking demand estimation for proposed parking lot at Old
Atish Market (MGD Market), consultants have identified and analyzed various
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 16 | 31
influencing factors, which will guide the parking, demand temporally and
spatially in city. These influencing factors include:
Parkers Segments
The parkers in the influence area can broadly be categorized under following:
All-day shopkeepers/workers: These shopkeepers/workers need to stay all day
in- city and need access to parking while they are on-their work. This
parking segment from influence area can be diverted to at Old Atish Market
(MGD Market) after appropriate pricing mechanism.
General Visitors: These visitors come to city to see Historical Monuments
surrounding, shop, or use recreational facilities. Their stays are usually for
one or four hours. A proportion of these visitors will use proposed parking
lot based on their origin & destination.
Short-Term Visitors: These visitors come for visiting for retail shopping. The
duration of parking for this segment is 30 to 60 minutes. A part of this
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 17 | 31
segment is expected to shift to the proposed parking lot based on their
location of activity in the influence area.
Parking Pricing
An important component of a parking demand management is pricing. The
primary objective of setting prices on parking, for parking facility
owners/operators are:
Recovering full or part cost of parking from users.
Differentiating prices among different users to achieve economic, strategic,
or policy objectives.
Reducing the incidence of private vehicle trips, vehicle miles of travel, and
the need for parking spaces associated with private vehicle travel.
Pricing suggested for proposed parking lot at Old Atish Market (MGD Market) ,
are given below:

given to project a traditional character of Jaipuri Architectural.
The design as presented are functionally planned, well engineered and
integrated buildings which fulfill all the project requirements and make
pleasant aesthetic statement meeting the stated objective of a state-of-the-art
building.
Structures
Proposed car parking building at Old Atish Market (MGD Market) has a
basement. Lower & Upper Basements will be used for car and Ground floor will
be used for car and Two-Wheeler park and Public facilities.
Columns at the proposed sites are spaced at 5.04-meter centers in drive
way and 5.04-meter centers in parking area. With such column spacing,
structural arrangements with flat slab column beam structure are being studied
to ensure economy in construction. Construction sequence of structure over
existing road would be planned to minimize the blockage of traffic in this part
of road.
in the upper basement of the parking area. This 11-kV supply will then be
stepped down to 415V through 11/0.433 kV dry type indoor power
transformers of adequate capacity. The power transformer and LT switchgear
shall be kept in upper basement near the HT panel with required clearance
between them as per IS Codes.

PLCs are hardware devices that are usually made up of either logic gates,
micro-controllers or a simple CPU. Typical PLCs come with more sophisticated
programming and are more versatile in their span of control. Ventilation system with
PLC devices gives proper control of energy consumption of this system by changing
power supply as required. All necessary equipment’s will be as per industry technical
standards.
CHAPTER 7.0
Social Benefits
The most obvious and significant environment impact of the project will be the
improvement expected in public health and quality of life. This would eliminate the
flow of in open drains of the town and prevent storm water accumulation along the
road side depressions in the project area, which emanates foul smell and unsightly.
Also, it would lower the risk of incidence of water borne diseases. This would
substantially enhance the public health and visual quality of the town.
WAPCOS Limited P a g e 29 | 31
Implementation of project will create additional employment possibilities
within the project area. It will also provide a platform for closer interaction between
different stakeholders, imbibe social responsibilities and develop the vision for
community participation.
The implementation of the project and its associated information, education and
communication programme will make community aware of importance of sanitation
and equip it better for managing its environment in better way.
Economical Benefits.
A sizeable portion of land in the main heartland of the town is covered by
collected in the borrow pits for the erstwhile kilns.
The economical price of this land in considerable. By providing collection
system for and storm water in the town it will be possible to reclaim this land occupied
by cesspools created out of collected. Other benefits in addition to health impacts,
which are relatively easy to quantity are the cost-offsets. These are the costs avoided
due to less illness. The related benefits accrue to both the health sector and to patients
themselves. Cost saving in health care are mainly due to the reduced number of
treatments of water born diseases.
There is no national park, wildlife sanctuaries or any other similar eco-sensitive areas
near by project area. Consultants carried out an inventory survey of the trees falling
within the project and total of 53 trees are affected by proposed parking project at Old
Atish Market (MGD Market). The main species are Githithi, Babul, Seshum, Neem,
Peepal, Keekar, Pilkhan, Kakri, Chokar, Laspasia, Sahtut, Bargad, Gulmohar, and
Baikan. The cutting of trees will have minor impact on local environment but this very
essential for the project.
Requisite permission to remove these trees from the site will be taken from district
commissioner. Permissions/Clearances Required for parking Project Permissions/
