master plan was not comprehensi#e as it failed to address se#eral concurrent issues such as
the infrastructure de#elopment2 and circulation pattern along with the en#isaged financial
resources for such a de#elopment. In addition2 the delay in the appro#al of the master plan2

Residential:
An the whole the residential land use growth is quite satisfactory2 occupying a-out
11 percent of the total land use as is proposed in the master plan. (owe#er2 certain wards
ha#e experienced tremendous growth resulting in saturation of densities and in such casesJ
the proposal is to redistri-ute the densities in the different wards. Though it is impractical to
limit residential de#elopments2 the policies shall -e formulated in such a way that a regulated
"$I and noncon#ersion of residential to mixed or commercial land use would relie#e the
pressure on residential land uses in future.
Commercial:
The commercial land use constitutes .3* per cent of the area and has dou-led o#er
the decade from *.43 sq. km to *.3 sq. km. !ajor commercial acti#ities are concentrated on
-oth sides of the Tenkasi!adurai '( )*8 Road. &m-alapuli =egum !arket2
$i#akamipuram market and &,@ Raja weekly market are the three major markets in the town
located at the centre of the town. The major commercial acti#ities include wholesale and
retail -usiness of textiles2 handlooms2 leather goods2 furniture shops2 automo-ile spares2
repair shops etc.
Industrial:
&t present2 the area under industrial use is around /.)5 sq. km2 which is a-out //
percent of the total area of the town. The industrial land use is #ery high compared to the
towns of similar si9e explaining the industrial character of the town. The industrial land use
predominantly comprises of cotton mills2 power looms2 ginning mills2 processing factories
and match industries. Industrial acti#ities are largely concentrated to the eastern side of the
town along the railway line and the state highway leading to &langulam.

The land use under pu-lic acti#ities is only two percent indicating a low co#erage of

'ew areas such as C$, 'agar2 R.R 'agar2Connagaram etc2 located on the south of the
town towards Cudupalayam #illage2 are some of newly de#eloped areas. The national highway
and the state highways leading to $anakaranko#il and &langulam -ound these areas.
The eastern -oundary of the town is -ordered -y the hills restricting the growth in this
direction. (owe#er2 for a -alanced de#elopment of the town2 it is ad#isa-le to promote
de#elopments in the peripheral areas towards &lagapuri considering the location of industrial
acti#ities.
Rajapalayam town consists of the #illages of Rajapalayam2 Inam %hettikulam2 $ammandapuram2
'orth Venganallur2 Cudupalayam2 Inam Thoppupatti2 $amsihapuram2 ,ottankulam part and
,adam-ankulam. The a#erage density of the town is approximately /*2348 persons per $q. ,m
and the residential density is a-out )12538 persons per sq. km.
%onsidering the commercial and industrial acti#ities in the town and the density pattern in
the town2 the municipality is contemplating a proposal for the inclusion of Cudupalayam and
,ottankulam #illages into the municipal area.Pudupalyam #illage towards the southeast shares acommon -oundary with the town. &n area of *.)88 sq. km is proposed for inclusion in the
municipal limits. There are three major industries located here with a workforce of a-out 1**
persons.
Kottankulam #illage towards the northeast of the town shares a common -oundary with
the town. &n area of *.1 sq. km is proposed for inclusion to the municipal limits. %onsidering
the a-o#e factors and the need to ha#e an orderly and controlled ur-an de#elopment2 it is
pertinent to include additional area into the municipal limits.
C. K,( D,@,3/4,%$3 I77,7
7i The $anjee#i (ill forms a natural constraint on the eastern side for any de#elopment. Thegrowth patterns indicate the formation of a linear pattern around the $anjee#i (ill. &dding parts
of ,ottankulam #illage on the northeast to the town might result in constraints for infrastructure
de#elopment. %onsidering these2 the de#elopment can -e guided towards the western areas of the
town.
7ii The proposed land use plan designates #ery limited formal open spaces for the town. "urther2
it allows for extensi#e de#elopment towards the (ills. The contemplated de#elopments ha#e not
prioritised the conser#ation of Frani>s and ,anmoiLs on which the initial settlements were
de#eloped. &n integrated effort for conser#ation of these water -odies is through an effecti#e
networking of open spaces and water -odies.

7iii Inordinate delay in finalising the detailed de#elopment plans for certain areas of the town has
resulted in hapha9ard de#elopment in the peripheral areas. @elay inthe preparation2 finalisation
and appro#al along with ineffecti#e implementation program is primarily responsi-le for
hapha9ard and unwarranted de#elopments.
7i# Cu-lic participation has ne#er -een considered as part of the planning process till recently.
&ll the master plans and other de#elopment plans ha#e ne#er reflected the needs and wishes of
the dwellers of the town. There were no sincere efforts on part of the municipality or the
