Survey required for prepare landuse plan

Surveys required for preparing land use plan can broadly be divided into two categories depending on the area upon which they are to be conducted. They are :

REGIONAL SURVEYS
They are those surveys, which are done over a region dealing with
• PHYSICAL FACTORS like topography, physically difficult land, geology, landscape etc.
• PHYSICAL ECONOMIC FACTORS like agricultural value of the land, mineral resources and water gathering lands, areas with public services, transportation linkages etc.
• SOCIAL ECONOMIC FACTORS like areas of influence of towns and villages, employment, population changes etc.

TOWN SURVEYS

They are done at much small scale and apart from the above data collected from the regional surveys it also includes
• LANDUSE SURVEYS
• DENSITY SURVEYS
• SURVEYS FOR THE AGE AND CONDITION OF THE BUILDINGS
• TRAFFIC SURVEYS
• OTHER SOCIAL SURVEYS

For conducting proper survey, primarily relevant enquiries should be framed in the form of questionnaires for presentation, when required.
