    Strategies and Challenges for Urban Green Spaces: A Case Study of Butwal Sub-Metropolitan City
    (I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2023-12) Karki, Manisha
    Urban forms are changing and becoming more ad hoc. Urban green spaces are an integral element of a city's public open spaces and services, contributing to the health and wellbeing of city people. Therefore, it is essential to make sure that public green spaces are evenly distributed around the city and are easily accessible to all. Ensuring the effective preservation, establishment, and growth of green areas stands as a crucial factor in attaining sustainable urban development. The case of Butwal Sub-Metropolitan City is analyzed in this paper to examine the challenges and strategies involved in safeguarding and promotion of these essential green areas. A mixed methodological approach was considered for data collection, including interviews, observation, mapping, and analysis using various parameters and collection of required information from documents. The study reveals disparities in the distribution of green space around the city, particularly in highly populated regions, with an emphasis on accessibility, distribution, and the impact of local regulations. This study has made some important observations by carefully examining the urban environment of Butwal. First, it showed that there were differences in how green spaces were distributed throughout the city, with densely crowded wards frequently lacking sufficient access to these vital amenities. Second, it brought to light the difficulties encountered by local governments in the absence of clear typologies, standards, and enabling laws for the design and development of green spaces.

    THE ROLE OF WATER BODIES IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENT AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
    (I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2023-12) Timalsina, Yuvaraj
    This research used various techniques such as survey, interview, through observation, municipality data etc. in order to analyze environment, economic development, physical development as well as understand people’s perspective of lake enhancing environment and developing urban areas. Therefore, both qualitative as well as quantitative method of data and information collection were used. The development of locality before and after construction of lake was also studied to observe the change brought by lake. The study showed that although the lake is still in construction phase, it has been able to provide employment opportunity, enhance economy of overall municipality, increase development around the area as well as make the surrounding climate and environment much more livable. Number of shops, food stalls, various recreational activities etc. have been constructed around the boundary of lake. people of the municipality have been able to make their loving dur to the presence of the lake. Through survey it was found that not only the people residing around the lake area observed that the temperature during summer is cooler around lake than other nearby area but also the participants believed that the winter temperature is slightly warmer around lake. Finally, new trend of developments activities has emerged in around the municipality. There has been construction of small zoo, Bagmati ghat, Bagmati fun park etc. Hence, this Lake have been able to enhance the environment as well as promote development round the area where there was barren land with no infrastructure at past.

    Resilient Resettlement Strategies for Marginalized Population: A case of Sampanna Basti, Biratnagar 12
    (I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2023-11) Maharjan, Shirish
    Nepal, characterized by its diverse ethnicity, encompasses numerous marginalized groups that struggle with challenges like inadequate land ownership and limited access to essential services. These disadvantaged communities are the ones that are most affected during disasters. Nepal has initiated several resettlement initiatives for affected communities to deal the issues of poverty, landlessness, and enhance living standards. However, these projects often tend to neglect the elements of resilience and sustainability, resulting in unsuccessful resettlements. Therefore, it is essential to integrate resilience into the planning process right from the start, ensuring the effectiveness and success of resettlement. This study explores resettlement initiative as applied to marginalized populations, focusing on the case of Sampanna Basti in Biratnagar-12. Field observation, key-informant interview, questionnaire survey has been done to understand the approach of resettlement and its challenges. It studies the real ground issues from the ’Sampanna Basti’ resettlement project in Biratnagar-12, initiated by collaboration of local bodies, NGOs and INGOs, by considering factors of resilience such as community engagement, socio-economic considerations, infrastructure development, institutional support, and disaster risk reduction measures.

    ASSESSING HITI SYSTEM AS A NATURE BASED SOLUTION IN ADDRESSING WATER SECURITY IN KATHMANDU VALLEY
    (I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2023-12) Awale, Sarik
    Water security is a global concern, with Kathmandu Valley, the largest urban agglomeration in Nepal, facing its own set of water issues such as water stress, water affordability, water resilience, declining ground water levels and urban pluvial flooding. Research from various regions has underscored that solely relying on built infrastructure is insufficient for resolving long-term water security issues. Consequently, a comprehensive approach that combines built infrastructure solutions with nature-based solutions is essential. Drawing inspiration from “sponge cities”, which is based on the ancient water management wisdom of China, and is a leading example of Nature Based solutions, this research explores the potential of Hiti System which is the indigenous water management system of Kathmandu Valley and is deeply rooted within the community, as the Nepalese version of Nature based solution for addressing water security. The study aims to showcase this by highlighting how the system acts to in conservation of ecosystem, promotes local resource utilization and community engagement, through the two successful case studies of Alko Hiti and Pimbahal Pond of Patan. The research being mostly qualitative and having parts of descriptive results, the study has been carried out through field observations, key informant interviews, semi structured interviews with the community and literature review. The research then channelizes these findings to present how water security is being addressed through these efforts. Further the study attempts to view Hiti System as a sustainable means to address water security, and advocates that it should not be limited to the perspective of cultural preservation.

    Assessing the Spatial Distribution and Locational Impact of Fuel Service Stations –A Case Study of Kathmandu Metropolitan City
    (I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2023-12) Subedi, Rachita
    The spatial distribution and locational impact of fuel service stations play a crucial role in urban planning, transportation, and environmental management. This thesis aims to assess and analyze the spatial distribution patterns of petrol service stations, as well as their locational impact on surrounding areas. By understanding the current distribution patterns, policymakers and urban planners can make informed decisions to optimize the placement of petrol service stations for efficient access, minimize adverse environmental effects, and enhance urban sustainability. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining spatial analysis techniques, GIS, and qualitative data analysis. It will examine the spatial distribution patterns of fuel service stations in Kathmandu, identifying any clustering or spatial variations. Additionally, the research investigates the locational impact of these stations on surrounding areas, including traffic congestion, air quality, land use, and socio-economic factors.
