TOURISM AND ENVIRONMENTWIND PATTERN 2

N Three types of winds-sea influenced breeze,

south west monsoons & the winds redirected

from the western ghats.

However the vegetation cover in the region

influence the movement of the breezes

The vegetation increases in density thus even if

there were high speed winds, it would be a

little damped by the time it reaches the city

centre

WATER BODIES AND ROAD NETWORK IN

SALIGRAMA3

SALIGRAMA IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE PADUKERE

BEACH(2.5KM) AND IS SURROUNDED ON ITS EASTAND WEST SIDE BY THE SITA RIVER AND THE

PADUKERE RIVER RESPECTIVELY.

LOCATION NEXT TO THE BEACH MAKES THE

UNDERGROUND WATER BRACKISH AT PLACES AND

THUS LIMITATION TO THE VARIETY OF CROPS.

THE RIVERS BANKS COULD BE USED AS TOURIST

SPOTS, TO GIVE ESSENCE OF THE VILLAGE LIFE FOR

THE OUTSIDERS.

NH66 RUNS THROUGH SALIGRAMA RENDERING IT A

TOWN.

HIGH VEHICULAR MOVEMENT THROUGH THE

TOWN DUE TO THE HIGHWAY MAKING IT A GOODNETWORK FOR TOURISM DEVELOPMENT.

SOIL TYPE

PLANTATION TYPES

TOURISM AND ENVIRONMENTSOIL TYPE & PLANTATION TYPES 4

THE SOIL IN SALIGRAMA ARE IN THREE TYPES NAMELY:

COASTAL ALLUVIUM SOILS (NEXT TO THE BEACH)

LATERITE SOILS

RED LOAMY SOILS

THE PARENT MATERIAL AND CLIMATIC CONDITION IS

FAVOURABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACIDSOILS.

PADDY, COCONUT, AREC NUT AND CASHEW ARE THE MAJOR

CROPS IN THE REGION.

ABOUT HALF OF THE AGRICULTURAL LAND GETS

SUBMERGED IN THE RAINY SEASON AND IS USED FOR THE

PADDY CROP.

REMAINING LAND IS BEING COVERED BY COCONUT AND

ARECA NUT.

COCONUT PLANTATION IS THE MAIN KIND FOLLOWED BY

BANANA AND MANGROVES.

HIGH DEVELOPMENT DENSITY IS SPREAD OUT AND AS WE

MOVE AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND THE MARKET AREA, THE

DENSITY KEEPS DECREASING.

IF ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ARE TO BE MADE, WE CAN

UTILISE THE UNUTILISED AREAS DEPENDING ON THE SOILTYPE.

WE SEE THE CURRENT GATHERING HOTSPOTS AT THE HIGH

DENSITY DEVELOPMENT ZONES.

SO IF WE WERE TO PROVIDE A QUITE SPOT FOR TOURISM, IT

WOULD BE ADVISABLE TO BUILD IN THE LOW DENSITY

ZONES.

MOST OF THE GATHERING SPACES CONCENTRATED AT

MANTAP

THE TEMPLES GET A LOT OF TOURISTS EVERY YEAR(1500-

2000)

YAKSHAGANA KENDRA WHEN NOT IN USE, IS A GATHERING

SPACE FOR THE OLD AGE, HENCE THEY DO NOT HAVE AGATHERING SPACE FOR THE ELDERLY, WHICH COULD BE

CRZ III ZONES & TOURISM POTENTIAL

ZONES6

ACCORDING TO CRZ III, AREA OF 200M SHOULD REMAIN UNDER

THE NO DEVELOPMENT ZONE (NDZ) WHERE ONLY

GOVERNMENT INITIATED BUILDINGS CAN BE BUILT,

AREAS BETWEEN 200-500M, CONSTRUCTION OF HOTEL OR

BEACH RESORTS FOR TOURISTS CAN BE MADE ACCORDING TO

THE RULES.

AREAS MARKED WITH DARKER GREEN ARE POTENTIAL

ZONES FOR TOURISM DEVELOPMENT LIKE A NATURE

RESORT BECAUSE:

IT HAS BIRDS LIKE PEACOCKS, KINGFISHERS,

HUMMINGBIRDS. NO WILD ANIMALS.

GREENERY PROVIDING THE CITY DWELLERS WITH A

SAMPLE OF THE VILLAGE LIFE.

TOURISM AND ENVIRONMENTLAYER MAP

CRZ buildable zone passes

through the laterite soil area

which makes it ideal for

building a density of

development.

Most of the vegetation growth can be found on the laterite

buildable soil along the main road.

High density development can be seen along the

laterite soil area.

River and laterite soil present at the buildable zone of CRZ

makes it ideal for building a tourist retreat because area has

green paddy fields dotted with beautiful birds like peacocks

etc.

Buildable zone next to the

beach is ideal for resorts,

hotel and so on.

BUILDING TECHNIQUES FOR

WARM-HUMID CLIMATE

OPEN SPACES & BUILT FORM

More open spaces preferred

Open spaces to be oriented with respect to wind patterns

ORIENTATION & PLAN FORM

Plan form should maximize air movement, reducing P/A ratio.

Buildings shall be oriented according to the wind direction

BUILDING ENVELOPE

Roof form perpendicular to the direction of wind in warm and

humid climate

FENESTRATION PATTERN & CONFIGURATION

Fenestration areasshould be largeto facilitate

ventilation

Large overhangs desirable to cut off diffuse radiation

Lower sill levels preferable

Fenestration orientation should be within 45of the

perpendicularto the direction of airflow. The inlet

and outletshould not be in a straight line to maximize

airflow

WALLS

walls should have low thermal capacity

Reduce Heat Gain

Promote Heat Loss

SHADING

AIR MOVEMENT TO BE

GIVEN IMPORTANCE
