WHAT IS SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY?
Socio-economic survey tools provide a means of improving understanding of
local resource management systems, resource use and the relative importance of
resources for households and villages.
They can also be used to elicit insights on interaction with government
decision-making systems, community perceptions of trends and priority issues,
and community-based institutions and their role in the sustainable use and
conservation of natural resources.
Use of such tools is an important first step in engaging local communities
and ensuring that local voices are heard and that the community
relationship with resources, land rights and access are incorporated into
collaborative land use planning processes. Collaborative land use
planning involves working with all stakeholders -government,
communities, the private sector and others -to ensure that land is used
sustainably and that environmental degradation and forest loss are
avoided, while accounting for the social and economic implications.
With respect to communities, collaborative land use planning aims: To ensure
that land use planning decisions are made with consideration of local
communities' opinions, land use needs and socio-economic conditions,
including rights of access to and use of land. The aim is to provide practical
steps (survey design, sampling and data requirements; planning and training,
conducting the survey) for field-based practitioners to conduct socio-economic
surveys of households and villages, including focus groups and key informant
interviews.

INFERENCE
Khan market is not serving its original purpose that was to provide local market
for the residents. Now used by high class people. Now used as a landmark.
Market not used by neighboring people mainly ndmc worker. Mostly used by high
class core people mainly coming from sundarnagar, hauskhas,nfc.Mostly south ex
area people.
Prithviraj market used by all grades of people.
Loknayak bhavan with light market is used by medium and high income group.
Large numbers of problems are faced by all the sectors.
The reason behind undevelopment of prithviraj market as compared to the khan
market was that the land was leasehold and owned by ndmc and they were not
allowed to change their shop type and internal planning.
Residential people facing major social issues related to all the sectors.
Residential people dont want to shift to other location as they are on the prime
location of the city and are well connected to other area. Moreover the rent is very
low, making it a affordable living.
