The slide deals with the research and survey done to acknowledge the congestion in the UNIT 1 market complex in Bhubaneswar, Odisha and proposes design changes to address the problem.

1. Research
methodology and
Seminar

2. Subject of interest
Unit 1 market complex

3. INTRODUCTION
 The foundation of the modern Bhubaneswar city was laid in 1948, although
the areas in and around the city have a history going back to 1st century
BCE or earlier.
 The late 2000s saw a surge of investments in the real estate,
infrastructure, and retail and hospitality sectors; several shopping malls
and organised retails opened outlets in Bhubaneswar. In the informal
sector, 22,000 vendors operate in regulated or unregulated vending zones.
Unit I, popularly known as the Market Building, was formed to cater to the
shopping needs of the new capital's residents.

4. Methodology-
 Evaluation
 We shall evaluate the problem (site in question) on the basis of its original
foundation and functioning which was as per the requirement and fulfilled the
necessity while following standards.
 Collecting data
 We are going to employ the usage of Objective Survey, personal interviews,
personal observation, research paper and journals on the aforementioned
topic, etc.
 People we shall be taking interview of are of different user group
 •Shopkeepers
 •Street vendors
 •Shoppers
 •People needing parking facility

5. Documentation
 The documentation would be in two parts-
 i) Digital – where we would employ the usage of cameras to record the
conditions, statements and interviews.
 ii) Written – Notes would be made from the interview section and
personal observations which would be later converted into software pages.

6. PROBLEM (Hypothesis)
These are the following hypothesis for the research.
 Parking space is not enough to accommodate the ever increasing demand
of vehicular parking.
 Drainages are not properly designed and developed so as to counteract
the problems of foreseeable future.
 Proper waste disposal mechanism is absent or lacking.
 Pedestrian encroachment has proven to be an obstruction in fully utilising
the pedestrian paths.
 Increase in population and thus increase in private vehicles has made the
pre-existing paths to be insufficient and vulnerable to daily traffic.
Ignorance of proper public sanitation which results in compromised
hygiene of the market area.

7. ANALYSIS

8. CLASSIFICATION
Sl. No. Age Group Frequency
1 18-25 5
2 25-32 6
3 32-39 2
4 39-46 4
5 46-53 2
6 53-60 1
Adopting the following formula, suggested by H.A. Sturges, to determine the size of class
interval:
i = R/ (1 + 3.3 log N)
As here,
R = 37 (55- 18) and
N= 20 (Number of respondents)
Thus,
i = 37/ (1+ 3.3 log (20))
i ≈ 7

9. Info graphics
Around 16% of
the people gave
a ‘DK’ response
majorly for the
loading/
unloading
questions
55% of the respondents were young who were not fully
informed about the premise but were surely aware of the
problems faced by the users
Although almost all of them (85) agreed that
something needs to done not all of them agreed to
switch to public transport for the better

10. INFERENCES
 People tend to visit the market place once or twice in a week.
 More than half of the respondents either take an auto or a bus
to the market area.
 All of the respondents agreed that it is either quite difficult or
simply nearly impossible to find a parking spot for their
vehicle.
 Almost all of them wanted something to be done to increase
the parking area that too immediately.
 Although majority of the users would say that it's quite uneasy
to enter the market area, surprisingly enough there is a major
chunk of people who believe otherwise and that is an indicator
of the type of users we are dealing with. In this case, these
users being the daily users who are well acquainted with the
place or simply the shopkeepers who are present there as a
routine.
One of the respondent
( A garment shop owner)

11.  One of the main entry point heavily congested due to ongoing traffic and
bike parking area.

12.  Majority of the users find it easy to find an auto rom the market area which
again shows the local user who are well acquainted of the market area.
 While majority did agree that poor traffic management is the leading cause
of the congestion, other half was equally vocal about the insufficient width
of the approach. Around a quarter of the respondents felt that the
increasing number of vehicles is the problem.
 We found that most of the people visit the market place during morning
hours and the evening hours combined.
 Majority of the people were unaware of the fact whether there is any
problem due to loading/unloading of good.
 Most of the respondents said that they would agree to use public transport
more so as to minimise the traffic flow in the area.

13. INFERENCES
 There are around 5000 shops in the marketplace.
 Maximum of the people are buy from the shops and leave
that place.
 Maximum number of people are dealt by a shopkeeper.
 Maximum number of shops are same and normal size. but
some shops have not enough space to store.
 The shops have enough commodities to sell.
 There are good opportunity to barganing.
 Maximum type products are available in this market.
 The shops are open evry day.
 The market starts from 8 am to 9 pm.

14.  THE MARKET COMPLEX IS MAINLY CROWDED FROM 9 AM TO 7 PM.
 THE MARKET PLACE IS VERY CONGESTED AND ALL THE SHOPS ARE
HAFAZETLY PLACED.
 NO SPACE PROVIDED FOR THE LOADING UNLOADING FOR EACH SHOP.THAT
IS THE BIGGEST THREAT FOR ALL SHOPS.
 ALL THE SHOPS HAVE ENOUGH SHOPKEEPERS TO MEET THE CROWD’S.
 THE TRUCKS CAN NOT ENTER THE SITE BECAUSE OF ITS SETTLEMENT.
 THE NUMBER OF ENTRY POINT FOR THE MARKET IS UNCOUNTABLE.
 THERE ARE NO FIRE SAFETY FACILITY IN THE COMPLEX.
 THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD ENCOMPASSING THE SHOPS DURING THE
MONSOON IS VERY BAD.
 THE MARKET COMPLEX IS ACCESSIBLE EVEN AFTER IT IS CLOSED.BUT IT IS
NOT SAFE AT NIGHT.
 ALL THE TIME MARKET PARKING PLACE IS VERY CONGESTED.
 THE ELECTRICITY IS AVAILABILE INSIDE THE SHOPS MAXIMUM TIME.
 VERY FEW SHOP KEEPERS GET GOVERNMENT FACILITIES.

15. Result
 The research findings resonates our hypothesis by a good margin about
the problem faced by the users of the market area.
 The research also made us aware about some surprising findings like the
ease with which majority of the users find to enter the market area and the
ease with which they find an auto for the commute again indicating that the
major daily users were local bunch.

16. RECOMMENDATIONS
 Parking space
Providing enough parking space for the vehicles and trucks for loading-unloading following the standard
procedures.
 Drainage facilities
Designing proper drainage facilities which would prove to be highly efficient and prolonging.
 Waste management
Providing proper management and disposal of waste through different methods which could prove to be
a major factor in managing the aesthetics and hygiene of the place.
 Pedestrian paths
Enough walkways and pedestrian footpaths to be provided with standard minimum width so as to
motivate and making it easier for the users to shop.
 Vehicular paths
Designing/ suggesting a different kind of vehicular network design so as to decrease the traffic while
being sensitive to the pre-existing design.
 Public toilets
Providing E-toilets so as accommodate the demand of increased sanitation because of population
growth in general.
