Introduction
The village people lived in thatched huts or mud huts which are out of date. The hoses
are ill- ventilated, ill-lighted, unhygienic and unscientific. Due to the poverty they
cannot afford to build pucca houses similar to house in cities and towns. Shortage and
non-availability of building material, high cost materials, transport difficulties for want
of proper communication, etc., are mainly responsible for slow progress of the
development and improvement of villages.
Planning
Village people are mostly conservative and usually they do not like to leave their
present house and construct house in new areas. The existing village may be
constructed only if the village is located in high land and not likely to be effected by
flood.

Selection of new site
The new site should be as far as possible near the existing village, having
sufficient area to accommodate the village and to allow for future expansion.
The site should be at an elevated level ground where there is no possibility of
flood.
Topology of ground should be such that proper drainage is possible. Each village
should be a separate unit having agricultural land surrounding the village.
Layout of plan
Plane table survey of the topography of the land should be made and a plan is
prepared to a scale 1cm= 5m ( a”= 40’)showing all important exiting feature on
the land.
Proper layout plan will then be prepare on the survey map showing the division
of plots, roads, lanes, drains, open spaces, parks, civic centers, etc.
Site for various community centers as Panchayat Ghar, school, library,
playground, children parks, health centers, religious places, shopping centers,
etc., should also be show in the layout of plan.

of traffic.

Open spaces and civic amenities
Open spaces and play areas are essential for healthy growth and atmosphere and
should be provided and these may be well dispersed in different parts of the village.
They are also necessary for various other common purposes such as social
gatherings, fairs, melas, etc. Provision should also be made for various community
centers as Panchayat Ghar, school, library, playground, children parks, health
centers, religious places, shopping centers, village industries, etc. Community water
supply should also be provided. Provision should be made for plantation of tree by
the sides of roads, in public and private places.
The plot should accommodate the main living house with the required
number of living rooms, store, kitchen, verandahs and court-yard, and cattle
shed, store for fodder and agricultural implements and cattle-yard.
The width of plot should be such as provide the sufficient side passage for
the cattle to move to and from the back court-yard.
The depth of plot should be such as accommodate front open space, the
living house and court-yard, and the cattle shed, fodder shed and the cattle-
yard.
To meet the above requirement a plot 9m x23 m(30’x75’) may be quite
reasonable.
