2 The RSLUP
process includes study for assessing the earthquake hazard, risk, and vulnerability
in the program municipalities and to develop a framework for earthquake disaster
preparedness planning. The program has also aimed to study the land use trends and
impact of earthquake hazard in the settlement pattern and land use practice. With
these aims, the program has aimed to prepare “Municipal Profiles in terms of Earthquake Risk and Vulnerability” and “Impact of Settlement Pattern, Land Use Practice
and Options in High Risk Areas” for its program municipalities.
The report “Impact of Settlement Pattern, Land Use Practice and Options in High
Risk Areas” was prepared as a land use profile in terms of earthquake hazard. The
report was prepared with a rationale to give an overview of urban development and
land use change pattern and risk of development in hazard prone areas. This study
assessed the land use change pattern and models the future land use to assess the risk
in a scenario of such land use change and earthquake hazard. Based on this scenario
study, risk sensitive land use plan was recommended for municipal land use policy
formulation and implementation of building regulations and byelaws. The study for
the preparation of the land use report undertook the following tasks:
• Review of the existing documents and literatures and best practices
• Review of literatures and documents on regional geology and past earthquake
scenarios
• Discussion and interaction with stakeholder municipality, key informants, and
local senior citizens
• Historic land use pattern mapping and urban morphology land use dynamic
assessment
• Mapping of current land use and trend assessment
• Modeling of land use change and settlement pattern and prediction of future land
use
• Assessment of earthquake hazard in land use and settlement pattern
• Recommendations for risk sensitive land use development plan.
This report was expected to serve as a road map for land use planning and formulation
of building bye-laws at the municipal levels and provide guidelines to integrate risk
sensitive land use plans in municipal level development and periodic plans.
