CLUSTER FORMANTION IN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND HUMAN SETTLEMENTS.pdf
- 1. CLUSTER FORMANTION INCRAFTSMANSHIPAND HUMAN SETTLEMENTS HAMPI THE WORLD HERITAGE SITE It was able to find 11 of the 22 crafts mentioned through the literature review within the study boundary and another 7 nearby. However, only one actual traditional craft cluster within the boundaries and one true traditional craft cluster outside the limit were surveyed. The majority of research in Hampi seems to concentrate on living heritage rather than architectural typology, historical records, archaeology, old water systems, etc. Generally speaking, heritage sites use this strategy. The current study is one of a select few that examines current accounts as well as remnants of the past. Additionally, the craft is not being examined in a vacuum but rather as an integral component of its environment, whether it be physical (craft cluster) or immaterial (community). Hampi urban core and was ultimately limited to the perimeter of the World Heritage Site (including core and buffer zones), i.e. the size of the Vijayanagara capital region, which is 236 sq. km. and has a population of roughly 65,000. It also includes 28 revenue villages nearby. The survey not only identified craft clusters geographically, but also recorded the crafts still being practised, the practitioners, community organisations, tools, and materials used. ABSTRACT: INTODUCTION: One aspect of the study involved a comprehensive village by village appraisal to identify the locations of current craft clusters and households and solicit responses from artisans to a prepared questionnaire. Finally, it was included within the World Heritage Site's perimeter. Their community history, labour practises, and opinions on the craft were all included in the surveys. After digitising and annotating all of the data, an analysis of craft cluster and village planning is presently being made. It was able to find 11 of the 21 crafts—listed through a mix of literature analysis and expert interviews—within the study's boundaries and another three nearby. However, there was only one true traditional craft cluster inside the boundaries and one true traditional craft cluster outside the boundary.
- 2. AIM: The craft willbe studied in relation to its environment, and links between craft settlement site and planning at the village and cluster levels will be explored. OBJECTIVES: It was able to find 11 of the 22 crafts mentioned through the literature review within the study boundary and another 7 nearby. However, only one actual traditional craft cluster within the boundaries and one true traditional craft cluster outside the limit were surveyed.

The current study is one of a select few that examines current accounts as well as remnants of the past.

METHODOLOGY: ▪ Number ofresearch papers found 77 ▪ number of papers excluded due to different language 6 ▪ Number of papers excluded which were not related to topic 44 ▪ Total number of research papers selected 27 OBSERVATION: Village level: consist of either farmers or workers who work in the fields as needed and occasionally are hired as temporary workers. The hubs are situated at intersections that lead to the satellites, which roughly splits the community into four zones. The settlement is often on one side of the road that passes through the village in satellites; however, this is not always the case. In contrast to the hubs, these settlements are likewise small and run along the road rather than far from it. House level:. They were usually constructed in mud or brick with lime plaster and may or may not include an enclosed veranda with seating area in front. A timber structural structure, pillars with brackets, wooden beams, flat slabs or lime surkhi, and occasionally country tiles support the two rooms. However, the type of the house can be used to distinguish the occupant's social position (once connected to their caste or group). Koravas, who weave baskets and produce brooms, typically live in one-room homes made of bricks, mud, and perhaps even thatch walls. Similar to Potter houses, Kumbara houses have an open area in front and a slightly wider footprint.
- 4. Zone level: Eachvillage is divided into smaller groups or zones that are typically caste- or community-based. These are often inward-looking, with the majority of the homes facing a central open space. A community meeting area is typically created by mature trees, a shrine connected to that caste or community, and the open space. The open area is used by crafts that require space or are communal, such as the Kammaras' "Koli mays" or kilns An effort was made to study craft not in isolation but rather as an integral component of its environment, whether that environment was physical (craft cluster) or intangible (community). More observations might need to be made as the project goes on. However, it seemed clear that there was some relationship between the geography and terrain, or the setting, and the villages and smaller groups, or the people. any conservation hence Interventions or rehabilitation plans for traditional crafts should ideally take the environment into account as well as the craft. CONCLUSION:
