25. SITE
SELECTION
CRITERIAS
• The site should be located at a serene and
peaceful location
• it must be within a residential area for
connection with the community
• there must be a potential for future expansion
• presence of adequate health and care
facilities and infrastructures like transportation,
electricity and sanitation
• the site must be close to nature and should
have a strong connection with the hosting
environmentThe site is proposed at the “Dhulikhel” area, which is
away from the core and the location of different facilities
and suburb setting around the surrounding areas is also
the key factor for the site proposition.

26. OUTPUTS
 To prepare a thesis report, design, modelling
and presentation meeting the standards of the
thesis for Bachelors in Architecture and learn.
 To come with a good and well managed
REHABILITATION center.

27. Loss of freedom is a primary
reason why most children do
not want to get out of the
streets. Fair proportions are
ready to accept rehabilitation
but very few want to live or
return to their village. Their
first preference seems to be
rehabilitated, get a job and a
room, but in their “home” – the
city.
