CITY PROFILE
Ujjain is an ancient city of central India, in the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh state. Situated on the eastern bank of the Shipra River, the city was called Ujjayini in ancient times and is referred to as Ozene by Ptolemy. It is one of the seven important religious centers in India, the others being Ayodhya, Mathura, Gaya, Kashi, Kanchi and Puri.

DELINEATION OF SIMHASTHA AREA AND PLOT

DEMARCATION
The development plan adopted for Ujjain city had provision of land allocation for Simhastha Mela along the Badnagar Road area and Mangalnath area. Whereas the prime focus of Simhastha Mela lies upon the Mahakal Temple and Shipra River. As a result of which the centrally located Mahakal Temple and the adjacent religious, cultural and open spaces are highly affected.

This mela area includes government and private lands. This allocated Simhastha
area and the city public and semi public area total 2645 hectare land comes under Simhastha area. Within this 2645 hectare land at present total usable land for Simhastha is 1500 hectare. Whereas to accommodate Simhastha-2016 projected influx as 5 crore, total required land is 2000 hectare.

Since most of the area within the Mahakal Zone has been developed, the southern additional land is planned for rehabilitation of the Akharas from there.

IMACS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2012

DELINEATION OF SIMHASTHA AREA AND PLOT DEMARCATION

On the basis of the availability of maps for Simhastha Region, Ujjain City Area, features for the Base Map and the availability of other sources of information; a well structured process was adopted for the preparation of the Base Map. Key steps adopted for the preparation of the Base Map are:

Digitisation of Revenue Maps

Revenue Maps for the Simhastha-2004 mela area was obtained from the Simhastha Mela Pradhikaran and the same was digitised to ascertain the area being utilised for the mega event

PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE CONCEPT

Water Supply Ujjain is situated on the bank of river Kshipra from where the city used to obtain its water. The major stages identified for the development of water supply services are shown below:

1 2 3

The first step to plan for water supply for Simhastha region will be the identification of water sources from which water can be supplied to the mela region.

After identifying the sources, comes the stage for location of treatment and storage tanks. These facilities should be so located so that the whole mela region is covered.
Once the storage tanks and treatment plants are finalised, then comes the stage for designing distribution network.

IMACS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2012

PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE CONCEPT

Sewerage and Sanitation Collection of sewage and wastewaters from the inhabited areas and then transporting it to treatment site with minimal amount of energy and resources is the need of the modern day society. The major stages identified for the development of sewerage services are shown below:

1 2 3

The first stage will be the division of area into smaller zones. It is proposed that the Simhastha entire area can be divided into a number of zones so that these zones can be managed easily and can be attended to efficiently.

The second stage will then focus on the type of sewer treatment system to be installed and accordingly to plan a network for laying sewer pipe lines.

The final stage will be to select a proper disposal system of the treated effluent. For this stage, it is suggested that efforts should be made to bring down the quantity and toxicity of wastewater as low as possible and then discharging it at the downstream side of Kshipra river.

IMACS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2012

PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE CONCEPT

Electricity Making provisions for supplying uninterrupted power supply to Simhastha region is a challenge in itself. For this the following proposals were given:
It has been estimated that approximately 75% of the total demand will be for illumination purpose and the rest 25% will be required for other electrical appliances.

A number of locations have to be identified where electric sub-stations can be located. In the northern area, Bherugad will be ideal for providing a substation. Other locations which can be considered for locating substations are Mangalnath and Vallabhnagar.

There will be requirement of control rooms spread in the mela region. These control rooms can be located at Vallabhnagar, Dat Akhada and Bherugadh area.

IMACS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2012

PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE CONCEPT

Solid Waste Management Human activities create waste, and the ways that waste is handled, stored, collected, and disposed of can pose risks to the environment and to public health. Solid waste management (SWM) includes all activities that seek to minimize health, environmental, and aesthetic impacts of solid waste. A typical waste management system will include the following elements: Waste generation and storage Segregation, reuse, and recycling at the site, if possible Primary waste collection and transport to a transfer station or community bin Street sweeping and cleansing of public places Management of the transfer station or community bin Secondary collection and transport to the waste disposal site Waste disposal in land-fills Collection, transport, and treatment of recyclables at all points on the solid waste pathway (collection, storage, transport, and disposal)

In order to tackle and manage the issues and problems of solid waste management during the Simhastha 2016, Clean Tech Ventures AES Pvt. Ltd has been appointed as consultants.

Classified traffic volume count at the 36 identified locations. Verification of the intersection and mid- block traffic counts on the major travel corridors. This data was otherwise also required to expand the O-D Survey sample to the total population of traffic in O-D location.

It is also necessary to estimate the number of passengers traveling in passenger vehicles.

This was achieved by enumerating number of passengers traveling by passenger vehicles. The TVC and the Occupancy Survey data was analyzed to obtain:

Map showing physical infrastructure proposals

Passenger Terminal Volume Count Surveys

Passenger Volume Count Surveys were conducted at various railway stations, bus terminals, taxi stands etc. falling in the city area.

This was undertaken to establish the number of passengers using these infrastructural facilities.
For Train Passenger Terminal Surveys, passenger volume count for train passengers for each location was carried out at entry/ exit of the major railway stations. Similarly, all the bus terminals/ depots taxi stands etc. were covered.
IMACS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2012

Passenger Terminal OD Surveys & Workplace Inventory Survey

Passenger Terminal OD Surveys were carried out at the identified bus, train terminals in order to establish the traveling pattern of the passengers which are using the terminal facilities. Details like trip origin, destination, length, time taken, cost of the trip, propose etc were collected from the passengers captured through random sampling. Workplace Inventory Surveys were carried out in order to establish the major work centers located in the city

IMACS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2012

Work Place OD Survey

Workplace Origin Destination (OD) survey was conducted for establishing the travel pattern of the working population in the city. Origin destination survey of the workers was conducted after the identification of major workplaces in the city. The surveys were conducted on working days using systematized sampling method/s. Workers were surveyed for their trip origin, destination, trip length, time, cost, purpose, mode of travel etc.

IMACS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2012

Collection of relevant Secondary Data

The basis for secondary data collection is that it helps to fill the gaps that have not been able to be collected through primary surveys. Also, this data is required for establishing trends and development patterns of the city. Past studies and reports related to traffic and transportation, if available were reviewed. This would majorly include plans like City Development Plan, Structural Plan, Past Traffic Survey reports etc, any other which is relevant in understanding the traffic pattern and trends.

IMACS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2012

Basic Analysis
Computerization of Raw Data & Digitization of Road Network Maps: The first step of the analysis included the computerization of the raw data. Simultaneously, a digitized map of the city network with a fair degree of accuracy was prepared.
