Abstract: - Geographical Information System (GIS) is a tool for integration,

manipulation, analysis and display of Spatial and Non-Spatial data. Remote Sensing

provide a Spatial Temporal data. GIS is applied in Transportation network,

calculating travel time, travel distance, Disaster management. For the planning and

management of city area require huge of Natural and man-made data. Handling for

this huge data GIS it self prove. In the emergency or in Disaster management and

mitigation GIS play as an important role. In the present study Google image is used

and the Ward map is use as a base map for the study. This study is concern with the

emergency facilities as Hospitals, Fire Stations and Police Station. With using the

GPS points and road network travel time and travel distance from the facility is

marked. On the travel distance and travel time the buffer are created.

Introduction: - The mission of the Fire services, Police services, and Medical

services is to protect life and natural resources, from fire, accident and other

emergencies.

There are three types of emergencies.

1. Police- Providing community safety and acting to reduce crime against

persons and property.

2. Fire- Providing firefighters to deal with fire, rescue and reduce loss.

3. Medical Providing ambulance and staff to deal with medical

emergencies.

According to Starindia datasheet the 1, 53,200 of accident were in the year of 1980,

and 2, 82,600 in the year of 1990. Death of the people in road accident was 24,000

and 54,100 respectively. According to government of India data sheets fire accident

were 41,419 in the year of 2000 and 48,760 in the year of 2003. Deaths of persons in

fire accident were 74,091 and 93,074 respectively.

Role of GIS: - GIS is a technology that integrates geographic features with tabular

data to assess and better understand real-world problems. Geographical Information

System (GIS) is a tool which has been employed for integration of spatial and non-

spatial data, designed to support capture, management, manipulation, analysis and

display of spatially referenced data for solving complex planning and management

problems.

Objective:-This study is dealing with the study of Emergency Services in

Ahmednagar City using GIS techniques, for proper decision making about utility of

those facility. For the present study following aims and objective decided.

1. Identifying locations of Fire stations, Hospitals, and Police stations.

2. Delineating the service area of Fire stations, Police stations, and

Hospitals using vector analysis with GIS environment.

3. Delineating service area with respect to travel time and using distance.

Study Area:-Ahmednagar city were selected for study. The study area is situatedon Deccan plateau of Maharashtra. It is leeward side of Sahyadri mountain ranges.

Location of Ahmednagar city is 120km far from Pune city and 246km from Bombay.

Latitudinal extension of study area is 190328N to 190624N and longitudinal

extension is 744351E to 744443E. Covering approximately 48 Sq.km. There are

three major sub-regions those are Kedgaon, Bhingar, and Savedi.

The Toposheets were Georeferenced in the ERDAS 9.1 with using Geographical

Coordinate System, with reference to Asia. On the Georeferened toposheet the ward

map is georeferened and also the google image is Georeferenced. The digitization of

road network is done on google image. The location point of Hospital, Fire stations,

Police Stations is collected from the GPS and after they are converted into a .SHP

format and imported in Arc GIS.

Result:-Result Base on Travel Time & Travel Distance


6/9

2. Travel Time Base on Distance


7/9

A) Travel Time: - The service area showing the buffer of 5, 10, and 15 minutes

travel time. Roughly 1.5 kilometer distance far from the facility covered in the first 5

minutes travel time distance,3 kilometer distance covered in the 10 minutes and the

4.5 to 5 kilometer distance covered in the travel time of 15 minutes

B) Travel Distance: - Last threeshowing the buffer of service area as considering

distance from facility. Distance in the figure was in kilometers. Figure of 5.4 showing

the service area of Fire stations on the 1, 2 and 3 km respectively. in the figure 5.5

showing the service area of Hospitals and figure 5.6 showing the service area of

Police stations with respect of 1, 2 and 3 kilometer travel distance.

Conclusion: -


8/9

There where the three fire stations available in Ahmednagar city. The location

of fire stations namely Kedgaon, Bhingar and Corporation as considering the travel

distance not of the 50% area covered by city. There for there is requirement of more

fire stations in Ahmednagar city. The locations of fire stations are Savedi and part of

Aurangabad road there is requirement of fire stations.

As concern the Hospital facility the location of accident Hospitals in city, they

mostly found in the Part of Savedi or Manmad Highway. In the part of Aurangabad

Road, and Solapur road nowhere hospitals found. There for there is requirement of

hospitals

Police stations are basic need of region there were requirement of Police

stations in the each major part of city.
