Land Use

1. Safety: Ladies feel unsafe at night due to some illegal activities as well as completely dark areas due to zoning of land uses in some parts.

2. Compatibility: Residential areas just next to Industrial area creates some conflicts as to children are not allowed going to school, passing from industrial areas. *Names changed to withhold identity

COMPARISON OF WARD WITH CITY


“Bajaar chalta jaiye to vahano jode bhatkata hoiye, footpath par to gadiyo hoy”

-Hansaben*, 40 Lives in Ambaji Kadva Plot (MIG), near Anand Mangla chowk

(Speaking on the safety issues, while walking on the road)

“Road to pehla bane, pachhi footpath bane ne ben, Footpath banave to amara ghar kapatar ma leshe”

-Belaben*, 38 Lives in Triveninagar Society (LIG), near Guruprasad chowk

(Stressing on the issue of road cutting, for making footpaths and the quality of infrastructure that lower income group gets)

“Footpath chhe pan vahano park karela hoy, addho road to ema rokai jaay” “Cycle lane par pan vahano j park thayel hoy chhe, koi vaapri na shake”

-Sureshbhai*, 56 Lives in Haridwar Park Society(HIG), near Panchsheel Hall

(Speaking on the barriers of footpaths and cycle tracks, like Parking )

Non-Motorized Transport People have a tendency to walk for short trips like grocery shopping, religious trips and social trips (within 1-1.5km distance). Children of all socio-economic groups, also have a tendency to walk or cycle to school. People generally walk on the carriageway, instead of footpaths and cycle amidst the heavy traffic. 1. Safety: Ladies walking to markets, feel

unsafe due to 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers hitting upon them. Even children are not allowed to cycle on arterial roads with heavy traffic.

2. Barriers: There are footpaths, but people feel that they are either obstructed by parallel parking on the roads or by vendors.

3. Land Security: People from LIG say that roads have been built before a year, how one would expect of a footpath. It is also felt that their houses might get cut, for making footpaths on sides.

-Leelaben*, 55 Lives in Malviya Nagar Society (MIG), near Doshi Hospital

(Speaking on the reachability to PT stops)

“Dur java mate to bus sari pade pan kai khabar nathi, kya aave bus ne kyare aave, addhi kalak to ubha rehvu j pade”

- Kamlaben*, 38 Lives in Lodheshwar Society (LIG)

(Speaking on the lack of information about PT routes and its timings)

“Chhet sudi to bus pohchade nai, rickshaw to levi j pade, ane bhada to sarkha j chhe, to rickshaw ma j na jaaiye”

- Shobhanaben *, 42 Lives in Guruprasad Society(MIG)

(Speaking on the connectivity and fares of PT & IPT)

Public Transport (PT & IPT) Very few people in the discussions, used public transport for their commute and IPT works as a Public Transport for all income groups. New mini-buses are run by RMC but its mostly found empty, as people feel that IPT has better connectivity and fares. 1. Distance to Stops: For some internal

areas, the distance to public transport stop increases and they rather use IPT. But societies like Vaid Wadi are also devoid of IPT connectivity.

2. End to End Connectivity: PT does not get to your destination and there is a change of mode to IPT. So for them, whole drive in autos is more comfortable, when the fares are also same.

3. Lack of Information: Most of LIG and SEWS people were unaware of the timings and frequency of new bus service. They felt it would have a lot of waiting time.

“I have had bad experiences with Doshi hospital. My father had an infection in the ear for a long time. Since we were not well-off then, its treatment had been put off for some time. Now that we had been doing well, I advised him to get it treated even if it were to cost us around twenty thousand rupees. When we took him to Doshi hospital, we were assured [by the doctor] that the treatment would be done in eight thousand rupees...all this happened around nine years ago...father was admitted in the hospital. When he was taken into the operation theatre, he suffered an [heart] attack and was admitted to the ICU. I suspect it was a case of overdose...the hospital authorities were not very cooperative or apologetic....felt like punching [them]”.

-Dhananjaybhai*, 40

(on why he wouldn’t use the Doshi hospital nearby; choosing instead to go to the civil hospital five kilometres away)

The residents of the ward found local clinics to be accessible, whenever they faced any health-related ailments. This was found to be true across high-income, middle-income, low-income and socio-economically weaker sections. Particularly among the LIG and SEWS groups, the civil hospital was considered to be a more attractive alternative to the local intermediate hospitals like Doshi and Shivanand mission.

“Most of us are daily-wage earning workers who can not afford getting treatment there…we must therefore visit the civil hospital”.

-Sujanbhai*, 50

Lives in Khodiyar Nagar with his wife and two children (Speaking on inability to afford treatment at local intermediate

hospitals)

“We visit the clinics only when we have slight fever; otherwise we prefer to get treatment at the civil hospital…even there we find it difficult as a result of our lack of knowledge of the local language”.

-Mohammed Aziz*, 38

Lives in Samrat Industrial Area with his co-migrants from Bihar (Stressing on the impediment posed by lack of knowledge of

local language)

“The fees charged depends on the ailment being treated. [F]or fever and stomach-ache they charge forty to fifty rupees whereas for fractures, thousands may be charged”.

-Laxmanbhai*, 52

Lives in Khodiyar Nagar with his wife and two married children (Speaking on the fees charged at local clinics without any

regulation)

Despite the presence of two major intermediate hospitals in the ward, the residents seemed to be more inclined towards using the Rajkot civil hospital: When asked for the reasons, the following responses came up frequently: 1. Affordability: The fees being charged

(Rs. 100 entry outpatient registration) was beyond the affordability of most LIG and some MIG families.

2. Value for money: The (low) quality of

services being offered do not justify the fees being charged, it was felt. Dhananjaybhai’s experience being one of many.

3. Language issues: Availing healthcare

at Doshi is limited by lack of knowledge of local language for the many migrant workers employed in various establishments in Samrat Industrial Area.

MEASURED ACCESSIBILITY: SOCIO-CULTURAL FACILITIES


The availability of two community halls in the ward does not help the residents as they are expensive. Also, Panchshil hall has now shut its doors to people outside the Panchshil society. The residents have however worked around these impediments through the following means: 1. Street-side celebrations: The SEWS

and LIG families celebrate their weddings on the streets in their neighbourhood.

2. Look for other options: The HIG

families are anyway not happy with facilities offered by Sagar hall. They look for halls elsewhere.

“Yes, there are community halls in the ward…but I hired the Field Marshall hall in [neighbouring] Laxmi Nagar for my son’s wedding. It offers better facilities [than Sagar and Panchshil halls”.

-Haren Patel*, 50

Owns a plywood shop on Gondal road and living in the ward for over eighteen years

(Feels there are enough number of community halls in the ward but finds them to be of low quality)

“The Corporation hall [at Guruprasad chowk] is never available during the marriage season…our turn never comes. The private halls charge between forty to fifty thousand rupees for a day [as rent]”.

-Shivrajbhai*, 51

Lives in SEWS quarters in Samrat Industrial Area (Feels there is no chance for him to use a community hall for

the wedding celebration of his son)

Interaction with LIG senior citizens *Names changed to withhold identity


“There’s Sagar Marriage Hall nearby… but it is expensive and marriage ceremonies usually are spread over one or two days. We hold them in our street… they have always been held here… it costs only around five thousand rupees for the pandal and food utensils. Not everybody’s going to get the corporation hall [at Guruprasad chowk]”.

-Radhaben*, 36 lives in Lodheshwar with her husband and children

(on the abysmal state of infrastructure in her locality)

“If there’s the facility [of a library], why wouldn’t we [send our children there]?”

-Jeevanbhai*, 45

lives in Lodheshwar with his wife and children and earns his livelihood as manual labour

(aspirational and looking forward to seeing his children achieve greater success than him)

A vision is arrived at for the ward for a plan of horizon period of three to five years.

Participatory meetings convened for arriving at vision.

“Liveable neighbourhood”

LANDUSE

– Address incompatibility of land use,

– Address safety issues rising out of poor land use planning.

TRANSPORT

– Promote walking, NMT and IPT+PT,

– Improve connectivity for Industrial Area.

BASIC SERVICES

– Water-supply: Supply issues.

– Sewerage: Address maintenance issues.

– Solid Waste Management: Collection issues, disposal issues.

– Storm Water Drainage: Address water –logging issues

SOCIO-CULTURAL AMENITIES

– Address paucity of recreational spaces and public hospitals.

– Expand network in areas like Lodheshwar.

SEWERAGE: ADDRESS MAINTENANCE ISSUES.

– Maintenance of sewer lines

– Expand network to adjoining residential pockets of Samrat Industrial Area.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT: COLLECTION ISSUES, DISPOSAL ISSUES.

– Regular collection (door-to-door) and bins to be monitored by ward sabhas.

STORM WATER DRAINAGE: ADDRESS WATER –LOGGING ISSUES

– Issue can only be flagged for action at city level.

BASIC SERVICES

PARKS

– Plots reserved as per the TP for public purposes to be reclaimed from illegal dumping of construction waste

SOCIAL AMENITIES


INTERMEDIATE HOSPITAL

– Plot to the west of ST workshop – again reserved for public purposes - could be used for the purpose

SOCIAL AMENITIES


COSTING

PHASING

Budget needs to be approved by making use of the ward sabha mechanism,

Major capital expenditure may then be included in next financial year’s budget,

Smaller projects like maintenance of parks, neighbourhoods may be undertaken with community participation,

Once contractors are engaged for neighbourhood level projects, monitoring can be carried out by the ward sabha itself,

Yearly documentation of the process will foster transparency, accountability and ownership among the ward residents.
