SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background Gujarat is one of the most developed states of India. The state is endowed with vast reserves
of mineral and characterized by high industrialization. It features high rate of GDP growth
and contributes almost 20% to India’s overall industrial output. Power, construction and trade
contribute a major share to the prosperity of the state. A Gujarat stand 5th is the contribution
towards the total GDP of the nation.
Gujarat, with its mission to make itself a vibrant place to live and work, has been
implementing several structural reforms in the recent past. With its growing industrialization,
presently, the state is all set to achieve an exponential growth curve. To facilitate such
economic growth, increasing needs of the people for better quality of life and to cater the
burgeoning trade through the hinterland, the state has also drawn an infrastructure road map
and intends to develop a world class infrastructure to sustain the rapid pace of economic
growth. Gujarat has experienced a rapid rate of urbanization in last four decades.
There are 8 municipal corporations and 8 Urban Development Authorities within the state of
Gujarat. Looking at its growth rate and rapid expansion, there is a pressing need to reconsider
and redirect the development and growth patterns in the next decade.
Navsari, one of the oldest cities of Gujarat, has an inspiring history of over 2000 years.
According to the Greek historical writings, a celebrated Egyptian astronomer and geographer
named Ptolemy mentioned Navsari's port in his book written about 150 A.D. The geographic
location he showed as Narispa, is in fact the Navsari of today.
The origin of the name "Navsari" has a very fascinating history. In the past, the city of
Navsari has been associated with many names such as Nag Vardhana, Nag Shahi, Nag
Sarika, Nag Mandal, Nav Sarika and Nav Sareh. Some of the legends associated with the
various names of Navsari are as follows:
Shayashray Shiladitya, who ruled over Navsari in the seventh century named this city NAG
VARDHANA in honor of his Guru Nag Vardhana. During the same period, the name
changed to NAV SARIKA as is evidenced by a recovered copper plate dated 669 A.D. The
legend is that Shayashray Shiladttya presented a copper plate to a priest in his town. The
copper plate read that Shiladitya, the ruler of "Nav Sarika," had bestowed a nearby village
upon this priest of the Kashyapclan.
After subduing the rest of Gujarat, Umayyad conquerors were repulsed in the vicinity of
Navsari in 120-21 AH/738-39 AD.
Another recovered copper plate dated 821 A.D. implies that the city's name later changed into
NAG SARIKA. The copper plate indicates that a Rashtrakut king named Kark Suvarna Varsh
gave "Nag Sarika" as a gift to his teacher named AparaJeet, pupil of Sumati kaharishi, who in
turn was a pupil of the famous Digambar Jain teacher Acharya Mallavadi. There is a popular
10
legend behind the name "Nag Sarika." Fables suggest that there was a big pipal tree on the
bank of a pond in the city. A huge Cobra lived in a hollow of this tree. On this same tree,
Sarika _ a singing bird _ had her nest. As they resided in the same place, both became
friends. Everyday Sarika entertained the Cobra by singing her melodious tunes. The legends
have it that due to this remarkable friendship between the Nag (Cobra) and the Sarika
(singing bird), the city's name became popular as NAG SARIKA.
Another legend of the Nag talks about the origins of a different name for the city: NAG
SHAHI. Historically, a Nag (Black Cobra) temple was situated next to a talav (pond) in the
city. People worshiped the Black Cobra for its power and Prowess. Although the pond (talav)
does not exist anymore, the historical Nag Temple still exists in the area known as "Nag
Talavdi" today. Hence the city came to be known as NAG SHAHI, which means the power
and prowess of the Black Cobra.
According to the Parsi tradition, in 1142 A.D., when they first came to Navsari, the city was
named as NAG MANDAL. The Parsis found the city's atmosphere to that of Sari region of
Iran. In the Persian language, "now" means new and "Sari" refers to the region in Iran.
Hence, the name NAOO SARI came into being.
The Fourteenth century marked the beginning of Muslim rule in Gujarat. Navsari came under
the Muslim rule in the late sixteenth century when its name was changed to NAV SAREH.
The anecdote is that according to the Muslim tradition, there were nine "Sarchs" of Muslims
in the city and hence the name was derived as NAV (Nine) SAREH (Sarchs).
The above changes in names show that Navsari, like any other city, has passed through many
vicissitudes in the matter of political reign. About fourteen hundred years ago, the kings of
the Chalukya Dynasty governed the region of Navsari. Later on, the Parsis, who migrated
from Iran, virtually ruled this small town. The reign of the Parsis ended as the Muslim rulers
took over. For the last one hundred years, until India's independence in 1947, Navsari was the
property of the Gaekwads of Baroda.
1.2 Regional Context Navsari is located at 20.95°N 72.93°E. It has an average elevation of 9m (29') above sea
level. The city is located in southern Gujarat and is situated near the Purna River, within a
few kilometers of the river's delta, which is west of the city and empties into the Gulf of
Khambhat. Navsari is strategically located on the Golden Corridor, immediately at the south
of Surat, forming a pivotal place and part of Surat-Navsari Twin City Region. The city is well
connected not only to major towns within the state but also to neighboring states through
moderate transportation linkages all by rail, and road. The details showing connectivity is
shown below:

4 Mumbai 233 260
Navsari is an important station of broad gauge railway line between Mumbai and
Ahmedabad. Through Ahmedabad, Mumbai National Highway No.8, Navsari is connected to
big cities of Gujarat and is related to Parivaahan Nigam. (Transportation bus service). Before
freedom Navsari was the main city of old Vadodara State. From 1st May 1949 Navsari has
been included in Surat district and in 1964 in month of June, Surat district was reformed and
district was included in Valsad district presently since 2nd October 1997 Navsari District has
come into existence. According to old writing it can be seen that Navsari was famous in 7th
century. In 671 AD known as "Samana Navsarika” this region was ruled by Chalukya
dynasty (Vavshaj_ Laat Branch). In this lineage "Avnijanasha Pulkeshi king” was ruling to
win over "Navsarika” Pulkeshi Raja (king) had defeated Arabian Army and driven them.
This Chalukyan rule is known to have continued till 740 AD. During this time on hill "Dubla
Koli” and "Rajput” population for spread not densely.
The notified Navsari Urban Development Authority is carved out of the one district and 2
talukas–Navsari and Jalalpore from Navsari District. NUDA is surrounded by the other
small villages form other talukas.
Within a periphery of 71.36 sq. km. forming the boundary of NUDA there are 2 urban centers
(Municipalities) namely Navsari and Vijalpor.
1.2.1 Growth of Navsari
The city's first settlers were the Chalukyas, followed by the Rashtrakutas, and subsequent
settlements by the Parsis. The Parsis has contributed a lot in the development of Navsari. The
real development of Navsari started in the 17th Century, in the era of Gayakwads.
Administrative offices were established in Juna Thana area, with creating “Navsari Prant”
and declaring Navsari as chief center. Navsari attained the status of Nagarpalika in the year
1863.
In the era of British Rule, the connectivity with Road, Railway and communication facilities
like telegram, Post, etc., were availed, which created a major role in the development of this
region. No. of textile mills, Industries, farmers’ Co-operative societies boosted the city
development. Along with Industry led development, no. of social amenities like Schools,
Colleges, Hospitals, Library, Gardens and Parks were also developed. Navsari was declared
as a separate district on 02/10/1970. The graphical presentation of Growth of Navsari
Municipality and NUDA is shown below:

SECTION 2: METHODOLOGY & APPROACH
2.1 Introduction The methodology and approach followed in the process of preparation of a development plan
plays a significant role to produce an efficient and high quality plan. Moreover the
methodology and approach undertaken support the achievement of the aims and objectives of
the plan.
This chapter talks about the Development Plan & its purposes and gives the complete
methodology adopted for preparation of development plan. It details out the four phases in
the process of preparation of development plan and presents the objectives formulated for
development plan.
2.2 Development Plan and its Purpose Development plan is a medium term comprehensive plan of spatial-economic development of
the urban center.
Revised Development plan for Navsari shall indicate the manner in which the use of land in
the area covered by it shall be regulated and the manner in which the development therein
shall be carried out.
The Draft Revised Development Plan is to be prepared considering various demands of
projected population for the next 10 years of the entire urban development area. The existing
land use, circulation pattern, development potentiality of the land etc., are to be considered
while deciding future proposals. Proper distribution of the residential, industrial, commercial
zone, as well as open and recreational spaces is to be suggested to evolve overall urban form
for entire NUDA area for the year 2039.
2.3 Development Plan Process Below diagram highlights the basic steps undertaken for the preparation of the draft
development plan. The detailed process is explained in the following sub-section.
The first step in the methodological framework includes collecting data from different
sources, primary surveys if required and then analyzing it to extract inferences from the same.
23
The Sanctioned Development Plan-2011 was the first revision of the Principal Development
Plan. A review of the sanctioned development plan not only provides the analysis of the level
of development achieved in the decade as against proposed but also the requirement of
revising the proposals and policies for the better implementation of the Development Plan.
The next important aspect of the Development Plan is public participation to represent views
and concerns of a wide cross-section of the society, based on which the goals, aims and
objectives are formulated for the Development Plan 2039.
The final stage in preparation of the Draft Development Plan is the formation of the policies
and proposals; this is done by accessing the gaps and deriving the demands for future.
This involves the proposals for land use zoning, urban services both physical and social and
policies in terms of the General Development Regulations for controlling the developmental
activities within the Authority area. With the completion of the preparation of the
Development Plan the next step is the publication of the Development Plan in the official
gazette of the Government of Gujarat and inviting of objections and suggestions.
The actual process of preparing the development plan involves many overlaps between the
key steps and activities mentioned above.
24
The methodology of preparing the development plan involves numerous activities, many of
which overlap and are carried out simultaneously. The methodology of Development Plan
can be divided into four phases as per the type of activities having almost similar
characteristics carried out in that particular phase.
The First phase of the development plan includes data collection, review of the earlier
Sanctioned Development Plans, Initiation of the Public consultations and preparation of the
Base Map.
These activities get initiated in the initial phase of the Development Plan and form the base
for the preparation of the Development Plan. The data collection includes data from the
Chart 1 Development Plan Process
25
primary sources such as surveys through questionnaires or pre designed formats and also
through secondary sources, this also includes collection of material for literature review such
as volumes of development Plan including General Development Regulations from different
Authorities. Also data from different Govt. and Semi Govt. agencies is collected.
As for the Base Map preparation the initiation began with the transformation of the
Sanctioned Development Plan in GIS format. The phase also included the initiation of the
Public consultations and finalization of the working groups for detailed discussion.
The Second phase includes the analysis of the data collected mentioned in the phase I. With
the progress of the review of the past development Plan, existing land use, infrastructural
services and the General Development Regulations (GDCR) is done. Collection of the
revenue maps from District Inspector of Land Records (DILR) and collection of the city
survey maps from Superintendent of City Survey. The public consultations are a continuous
process and progresses with the development plan as per the stage of the development plan,
but for the consultations that are already conducted are analyzed and inferences are drawn
from the same.
The Third phase involves the assessment of the present gap calculation of the future demand
for physical and social infrastructure and also the land requirement for the projected
population of year 2031 and 2039. Another simultaneous activity in the third phase is the
formation vision and based on public consultations. As for the Base Map preparation the
integration of the maps and removal of the error is undertaken and the base map is ready for
final checking and validation.
The Fourth phase covers the identification of projects based on the sectorial mission
statements derived from the vision Statement formed through Stake holding consultations for
implementation for the targeted years of 2031 and 2039.
Zoning proposal for the years of 2031 and 2039 based on the requirement of the land derived
from the projected population and based on the zoning proposals the formation of General
Development efficient implementation of the Development Plan.
With the completion of the activities of the Development Plan the same is published in the
official gazette of the State Government and suggestions and objections are requested.
Having considered the suggestions and objections the improved Revised Draft Development
Plan is then submitted to the State Government for final sanction.
The following flowchart explains the process of preparation of the draft development plan,
highlighting the overlap between the different activities.
26
2.5 Approach The Approach to the preparation of the Development Plan finalized considering different
aspects that would be the cause to the improved quality of the Development Plan. For the
development under revision there are three approaches that are considered.
1. Public consultations: The revised Development Plan is a document for the people and
cannot be prepared behind closed doors the involvement of the people is very necessary i.e. a
democratic approach is required and thus the first approach towards the 1st Draft Revised
Development Plan is the through Public consultations.
Extensive public consultations are carried out at different stages of the Development Plan. A
wide cross-section of the society is represented through numerous interviews and workshops.
The inputs from the consultations are studied and reviewed in detail, vision and objectives to
fulfill the vision are formulated based on the inferences from the stake holdings. Nine
working groups, formed by experts from individual fields focusing on key areas are formed.
Stage wise consultation with the Working Groups has led to the formulation of final policy
and proposals.
2. GIS based approach: The Development Plan prepared for the area of Navsari Urban
Development Authority is a huge document in terms of the data collected, analyzed and the
proposals formed. There is a need for a robust system that is capable of handling such data at
the same time carry out timely analysis to obtain desired results. The systems used are open
ended and allow future improvement as well as addition and deduction of data from the data
base at any point of time.
Thus an approach to prepare the Development Plan in a GIS environment is an approach
considered for preparing the 1st Draft Development Plan for the year 2039.
3. Land use transport integration: Regulating use and development of land is an important
component of the Development Plan. But this must not be done without considering the
transportation and infrastructure network.
Coordination between land use and transportation is crucial to improve the mobility and
quality of life within the city. The Mobility Plan for Navsari was prepared to assess the
existing transportation scenario and to identify the option for future improvements and
expansion of transportation network. The appropriate recommendations of the mobility plan
are integrated with the second revised Development Plan in form of various projects and
proposals.
27
SECTION 3: BASE MAP PREPARTION
3.1 Introduction In preparation of Development Plan a Base Map plays an important role in defining the
jurisdiction of different administrative boundaries within the defined area. It also helps in the
realization of the land use plans, and also in the communication about what information is to
be communicated through the geographical space or land parcels. The base map also forms
the foundation on which the new proposals are based for the development of the city. The
base map also facilitates the display of different information that is collected and analyzed as
a part of the Development Plan preparation.
This chapter talks about the newly adopted process for preparing a robust, detailed GIS Based
map for the entire NUDA region.
3.2 Previous Base Map In the past DP, the final output of the DP was carried out on hand-made maps which were
later converted into CAD format. This restricted the maps to be effective layre produced at
various scales. Certain analyses such as land suitability, environmental analysis, etc. were
carried out in a limited GIS environment and the results were considered while preparing the
DP.
After the Sanction of the Development plan in 1988, it was felt that there should be
continuous revision for road variations, zone variations etc. The areas zoned as
‘urbaniseable’ were consistently developed under Town Planning Schemes and various
urban services such as road, water, sewerage; storm water drainage, street lights etc. were
planned and implemented in those areas. Simultaneously, the total area under the jurisdiction
of NADA converted to NUDA increased encompassing 71.36 sq. km. Some of the limitations
faced as a result of all these issues are assisted below:
• Hand-made maps cannot be reproduced quickly and effectively
• The data built in CAD format is highly static and building multiple layers of dataset is
cumbersome.
• Quick analysis and representation at various spatial scales other than the scale at
which the data was built is impossible
• Data monitoring, rectification and updating requires more time and manpower.
The need arose for a system where in it would be easy to model this dynamics of an ever
changing urban scenario. It was thus envisaged for this DP that the system to be built should
be
• Robust and can handle huge data sets able to overlap most of the data which comes
from several departments in several formats.
• Able to carry out complex analysis which stems from the vision of this project.
• Able to easily incorporate any future updates and modifications in the database.
28
• Able to meet the data visualization requirements of various stakeholders and produce
very high quality maps.
3.3 Mapping through NUIS Guidelines The mapping done by NUDA for the preparation of the Development Plan is based on the
guidelines provided by the Nation Urban Information System (NUIS).
The major objectives of NUIS Standards are to design, organize and demonstrate an
information system to support urban planning in the country. The objectives of these are as
follows:
• To identify the volume of data and parameters required for urban planning, frequency
of updating, level of redundancy, level of compilation and nature of processing at
different hierarchical levels of urban planning.
• To standardize the classification system for various thematic layers required for
different levels of urban planning.
• To design a comprehensive urban information system, useful to meet the needs of
various hierarchical levels of urban planning viz. perspective, development and zonal
(TP Schemes) plan exercises.
• To design a comprehensive spatial database as a link for urban planning and
management.
3.4 Process Followed For Creation of New Base Map Thus keeping all these requirements, NUDA decision of introducing the use of Geographical
Information System (GIS) for preparation of the Development Plan. The GIS System can be
defined as:
Package specifically designed for use with geographic data that performs a comprehensive
range of data handling tasks. These tasks include data input, storage, retrieval and output, in
addition to a wide variety of descriptive and analytical processes.
The first stage in the entire process was to gather all the village and ward maps that would
come together in the end to form one single base map. The next step was to convert all the
maps to one single digital format which was then geo-referenced. The next steps included
putting together all the parts into one complete whole, error identification and rectification,
and to start attaching layers of different types of information.
In all, all the TP area, non TP area and the newly added area maps were digitized, geo-
referenced and put together to form the final base map. A complete list of data layers attached
to the base map is provided at the end of this subsection.
3.5 Advantages of the Updated Base Map The city is a dynamic system where interventions from natural and man-made entities such as
government and private are continuously happening. The challenge is to integrate the various
29
environmental parameters; stakeholders’ aspirations etc. and come to an optimum decision so
that it creates a win-win solution for everyone without harming the environment in the long
run. Taking this process into consideration NUDA has built a spatial decision support system.
The information relating to the preparation of the Base Map was collected from various
sources. The dataset was then prepared in Geographical Information System (GIS). GIS
greatly facilitates the use of the generated datasets for conducting basic and complex
analyses. Undertaking these analyses in earlier digital formats (CAD) would have required
much more time and effort.
Key features of the GIS format base map:
• Single comprehensive database containing all kinds of datasets within
• Data from various departments and organizations can be attached easily to the base map.
As a result coordination with other departments becomes efficient and less time
consuming
• Any spatial as well as statistical data analysis is more accurately done in GIS
• Basic analyses can be done very quickly
• Complex analyses are possible between the different datasets
• Multiple layers of information can be built over time on the base map and these can be
analyzed and updated regularly.
• High resolution maps, informative charts and graphs can be prepared quickly and easily
for representation of data.
• The new updated base map can be made publicly accessible for viewing purposes through
the internet. The current format will make this process more users friendly for the
common man to use.

DEVELOPMENT PLANS
4.1 Introduction Before framing the policies and proposals of the First Draft Development Plan of NUDA, it
would be essential to review the goals, policies and proposals of the sanctioned Development
Plan of Navsari 2008 so that achievements made and the shortfalls observed could be
considered while framing the proposals of the Development Plan of NUDA 2039. It also
analyzes in detail the projects and implementation of the projects and proposals of sanctioned
Development Plan in the past decade.
4.2 Review of Aims and Objectives of the Sanctioned
Development Plan The past development plan identified aims and objectives that focused on various aspects
such as creating good environment, providing effective infrastructure, compact development,
augmentation of financial resources, coordination of various developmental activities etc. In
the past decade significant work has been done towards achieving these aims and objectives.
Below is an assessment of the work and the projects that have taken place since 2008.
1. To create a good environment and to minimize the environmental pollution with
green spaces, open space sand places of public activities and recreation.
Various efforts have been taken in past decade to minimize the environmental pollution, to
provide adequate green spaces and open spaces and to provide facilities for recreation.
Various projects and proposals that may be or may not be included in Sanctioned DP 2008
were implemented for this purpose. Below is the assessment of these projects.

2. To organize the growth and Distribution of population in urban and rural area
Navsari Municipal Area was the primarily urbanized area within NUDA limit.
Population was projected for the year 2011 was 1,81,584 in the sanctioned
Development Plan, in the areas of Navsari Municipality.

3. To provide for the comprehensive developed area for residential, industrial,
commercial and recreational uses required for the city with public support and
active involvement.
The Development Plan is implemented through the mechanism of Town Planning Schemes,
as per the sanctioned Development Plan 2004 the total zoned area i.e. 8.55 Sq.km. was
covered under the Navsari Urban Complex, this zoned area comprised of different land uses
such as Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Recreational uses. Town Planning schemes
were initiated for all these zones, as a procedure the town planning scheme is prepared in a
democratic manner and the inputs in terms of objections and suggestions from the owners and
the affected people are taken multiple times. Table 13 Land use Proposed in DP - 2008
(Source: DP Report -2008)
Under past development plan total 4 TP schemes were prepared for the area under NADA.

4. To provide effective road linkages in the entire area
With a view to have efficient transportation system as well as to avoid the conflict at
important road junctions various new roads, bridges, flyovers, underpasses in NUDA were
proposed in sanctioned development plan.
As per earlier Development Plan, the Proposals for New roads were as per the following
table: Table 14 Summary of New Roads Proposed In DP-2008
There were no. of proposals for road widening, the details are:

5. Optimum use of land for compact urban development of the city.
In the past Development plan it was proposed to have a compact urban development of
Navsari, so as to have the maximum utilization of the infrastructure and amenities and to
reduce the travel distance within the city by reducing the sprawl of the city. In 2001 Rajkot,
Surat and Vadodara had 5.5, 6.8 and 4.6 million population. When compared to these cities of
approximately same scale, the sprawl of Navsari over time is much less than other three
cities. It can be seen from the image above that Navsari shows comparatively compact
development.
6. To encourage and control the developmental activities in accordance and in
harmony with the development plan proposals which may promote healthy city
development.
Development in the city should take place as per the zoning regulations in the development
plan. This can be implemented through the GDCR. It involves three steps namely
commencement certificate, progress certificate and building use certificate. This three step
process is enforced to control the developmental activities in accordance and in harmony with
the development plan proposals which may promote healthy city development.
7. Mobilizing the land resource by virtue of the various planning proposals under
the provisions of the Act which can generate the required finance for the
implementation of the development plan including the T.P. Schemes.
8. To augment the financial resources as may be created by the proposals of the
Development Plan.
These aims and objectives were basically fulfilled through the betterment charges and the
sale for residential, commercial and industrial component levied in the town planning
schemes.
9. To implement the various proposals by the various T.P. Schemes at appropriate
time for appropriate areas as the T.P. Scheme has proved to be a sound and
effective model for Urban Development at Micro Level Planning.
As mentioned above, in the Sanctioned DP-1988, it was expected that various infrastructure
and recreational facilities would be developed through TP Schemes.
34
10. To tap the potential of private entrepreneurship with its positive involvement in
an appropriate manner which may boost up the city development process in
addition to the efforts of Government and Semi-government Organization in
their respective field.
11. To have a realistic approach in the context of statutory provisions and the
financial, administrative and managerial capabilities of NUDA.
The budget of NUDA is also effective to the implementation of Sanctioned Development
Plan can make possible due to the realistic approach. Implementation of several projects by
NUDA in the past decade is done through the mechanism of TP Schemes.
Some infrastructural projects implemented by NUDA were funded under the JnNURM
project, the funding mechanism included considerable share through JnNURM rest to be
borne by State Government and Local Authority. The share of NUDA was managed from the
funding through different sources as income from Better and Amenity charges, FSI on
Payment, Development Charges and Sale of Residential and Commercial plot the statutory
provisions under which NUDA performs were very well observed wisely utilizing its
financial, administrative and managerial capabilities to follow a realistic approach to
implement its projects.
4.3 Commercial projects and their implementation Along the Surat – Mumbai Railway line and in the city there are few areas has been
designated for commercial zone in development plan 2008.
35
SECTION 5: DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
5.1 Introduction Study of population and demographic trends is crucial to understand the character of a city
and its needs and demands for housing, amenities, infrastructure etc. It helps to explain the
current urban conditions and to derive the future directions for planning and managing the
city’s growth and development.
This chapter reviews the population trends over past decades and demographic patterns that
influence the urban conditions in Navsari region. The demographic assessment provides a
snapshot of working population, literacy rates, sex ratio, household size, population growth
rates, migration rates etc. Table 16 Demographic Report

5.2.1 Existing Population
Navsari Urban Development Authority (NUDA) consists of one district – Navsari. The total
area of NUDA, which is 71.36 sq.km, consists of Navsari Municipality and Navsari Urban
Development Authority (NUDA). The population for Navsari Municipality, NUDA has been
tabulated as follows.
1 Navsari Municipality
(Including Jalalpore Village)
3 Navsari Rural Villages 66405 21 %
4 Jalalpore Rural Villages 8819 3 %
TOTAL 316599 100 %
(Source: Census 2011)
In 2011 India’s population was 121 Crore of which 6.04 Crore resided in Gujarat state. The
population in NUDA area in 2011 was 3.16 lakh people, about 0.54 % of the total state
population.
There is a high concentration of population within Navsari Municipality. Almost 60% of the
total population of NUDA resides within these urbanized areas. NUDA rural areas have less
population. Table 6 shows decadal change in population between 1991 and 2011 by
administrative units (wards and villages). As can be seen from the table, the change in
population in Navsari Municipality is much higher than the rest of NUDA. Some areas within
Navsari Municipality show a significant increase in population when compared to the rest of
the city. Table 18 Population Detail – Navsari (Village wise)

This trend may be attributed to urbanization of the city’s fringes due to population and
economic growth. Majority of NUDA rural area has seen comparatively slower growth in
population during 1991 to 2011.
Major District data for Navsari is listed below:
Table 21 Navsari District Census Data

(Source: District Census)
5.2.2 Sex ratio
Gender ratio is important for understanding the distribution of males and females within the
region. This ratio is calculated as total number of females per 1,000 males. The sex ratio in
Navsari, according to the 2011 Census has been 961 females per 1000 males, which is higher
compared to the sex ratio at the state level of 918 and national level sex ratio of 940. Table 22 Gender Ratio of Navsari 2001 and 2011
India 933 940
Chart 2 Navsari Municipality & NUDA Male/Female Ratio
The decrease in female population in the urban areas may be due to higher number of males
migrating to the urban areas in Navsari Municipality for employment, education, and other
opportunities
39
5.2.3 Literacy
Literacy level of Navsari has always been higher than the states literacy levels. With a total
literacy rate of 75.80% in 2011, the city has a comparatively lower literacy rate than the state
literacy rate of 79.31% but slightly higher than the national literacy rate of 74.04%

Work involved not only actual work but also effective supervision and direction of work.
According to this definition, the entire population has been classified into three main
categories, i.e., Main workers, Marginal workers and Non- workers. Here below shown is
marginal worker distribution of Navsari Municipality & NUDA area. Navsari Municipality
has more marginal worker than NUDA area. Other types of main and remaining category

Change in population has been derived from 2001 and 2011 census data. It gives an idea of
increase or decrease in population. Overall growth of NUDA population is 2,67,762 (2001) to
3,16,599 (2011). NUDA’s decadal population growth rate of 18% is higher than that of
Gujarat state (22.7%) and of India (21.54%).

6.1 Introduction Identification of land suitable for development is critical for preparing the development plan
for Navsari region. There are many different natural and man-made factors that impact the
development suitability of land.
This chapter deals with the study of several aspects of physiographic such as soil type,
ground water prospect, cropping pattern etc., a detailed analysis to delineate land available
for development is carried out and finally the methodology for land suitability analysis. Table 27 Administration of NUDA

6.2.1 Land Cover
Information on land use - land cover pattern, especially the extent and spatial distribution of
the same is important for the preparation of the prospective Development Plan. The land use -
land cover information helps in formulation of policies for urban development.
Using the classification system and employing both visual and digital analysis techniques and
with limited field checks, the urban land use/land cover maps were prepared for the entire
NUDA region. Later these maps were digitized and integrated with the spatial framework of
NUDA area.
Agriculture: Agriculture is the predominant land use outside the
Navsari Municipality area. The area under agricultural land is
2868.11 HA according to existing land use survey and it holds
41.18 % of the total study area.
The agricultural land comprises of Crop Land, Fallow Land and
Plantations. It is observed from the satellite data that a large part of
the eastern area is under Ravi crops indicating the availability of
irrigation water. On the contrary, the agriculture land in the
Western area from is fallow land which is an indication of the lack
of irrigational facilities. Another major problem associated with this area is Salinity. Thus
this region is dependent on rain fed crops only. The agricultural land has been further
categorized into crop land, fallow and plantations.

6.2.2 Ground Water
The maps depicting the depth to water level have been prepared based on water level data for
May 2012 and November 2012 collected from NNHS. During pre-monsoon period (May
2012) the depth to water level in the district ranges between less than 4 m bgl and more than
10 m bgl. Minimum water level during May 2012 was observed at Chinam (2.74 m bgl) and
the Maximum water level was recorded at Navsari (25.80 m bgl) in the district.
Spatially, the depth to water levels (May-2012) in the major parts of the district ranges
between 5 and 10 m bgl. Depth to water level between 2 to 5 m is seen in north-western part
of the district. There are two significant pockets where the water level ranging between 10 to
20 m is also seen. There is no area where water level less than 2 m is seen.

6.2.6 Solid Waste Management
Daily generation of solid waste in area approximately 65 M.T. Thus the total waste is within
the range of 400 gm per capital per day of domestic waste. The above solid waste is being
collected by deploying 100 wheel barrows (52 containers) as per the guidelines of Hon'ble
supreme court by MSW rule 2000. For proper collection of the garbage Navsari Municipality
has purchased numbers of equipment like wheel barrows, close container, dumper placer,
JCB etc. The collected waste is being transported by closed container to the nearby transfer
stations. Collected waste from transfer station waste is being transported in accumulated
manner to the waste process plant.
As per Hon'ble Supreme court guideline Navsari Municipality is establish separate solid
waste management department headed by. Dy. Municipal Commissioner under whom
numbers of, Sanitary Sub Inspectors, Labors, Sweepers etc. are working. The O & M of the
solid waste is being carried out partly by departmental and partly through private agencies.
Municipal Corporation Navsari establish SWM Department Headed by under whom numbers
of sanitary Inspectors, Labors, and Sweepers etc. working. Table 38 Solid Waste Management Facility

DELINEATION OF DEVELOPABLE
AREA A land suitability assessment is a planning tool for the design of a land use pattern that
prevents environmental conflicts through the Segregation of competing land uses. It is a
decision problem under multiple criteria and multiple objectives that, when adapted into GIS,
produces a land use pattern that minimizes conflict and maximizes consensus among the
stakeholders Considering the constraints, the land available for development is very limited,
to identify the land having developable potential, the land under constraints is first identified
and segregated and residual land available is the land having development potential. The
constraints that restrict the development of land are listed below.
Constraints to Development
Non Negotiable (Physical Features, Manmade or Natural)
Non Desirable (Hazard Prone, Prime Agricultural Land)
7.1 Legislative Constraints River and water bodies: Areas under Rivers, Canals and water bodies, 9 to 15 m buffer
around to preserve the natural character, development is totally restricted.
7.2 Non Negotiable Constraints Road Network Map: Areas under existing road network including National Highway, Bypass
Road, State Highway, and Major District Road with their Building Control Lines cannot be
utilized for development as considered non urbanized area.
Rail Network: Areas under existing Railway tracks and railway station areas are not
considered for the development work other than that of Railway’s requirements.
7.3 Non Desirable Guidelines Double cropped Area: Areas having better irrigation facilities and good soil character, yield
maximum i.e. twice in a year are known as Double Crop Areas. These areas are the pioneer to
agriculture product and should be preserved for agricultural use by restricting development
proposals.
Flood hazard area: Low lying and marshy areas near water bodies having the possibility of
being flooded and unsafe for human lives are considered as ‘Flood Hazard zones’ which are
restricted for development for human habitation and not considered for urbanization.
58
7.4 Land Available for Development After considering and calculating land falling under the Legislative and Non-negotiable we
have 71.36 sq.km area is available for development which includes Agriculture land, Fellow
Land, Open Spaces etc. As per existing survey of 2019, it is found that 0.40 sq.km agriculture
land is available for development. In a same way we have 0.13 sq.km fellow land and 0.97
sq.km government open space is available for development.
7.5 Observations and Issues Soil Characteristics
Observation: Most of the NUDA land is deep Black Clayey soil which is not very favorable
for construction purpose.
Topography:
Observation: Very gentle or flat topography of Navsari city is favorable for the
development.

FLOOR SPACE
8.1 Introduction Development is one of the basic indicators of growth. Over the past decades the urban area of
Navsari has grown significantly and a large amount of land has come under development.
Within NUDA area this development is regulated by zoning regulation provided in the
sanctioned Development Plan.
This chapter provides an assessment of land area within various zones, existing land uses, and
built floor space within various zones. The different analyses and the relevant inferences
should help to identify availability of land and floor space for future development.
8.2 Zoning under Development Plan 2008
8.2.1 Existing zoning and development within zoned area
In the Development Plan-2008 of NUDA region, following considerations were taken into
account, while preparation.
2. Calculation for requirement of Recreation places of garden, playgrounds, shopping
centers etc.
3. Existing infrastructure facilities and their faults
