CHAPTER III

UTILITY SERVICES IN PCMC AREA

3.1 Introduction

With a large concentration of people in limited space, it has become necessary to

utilize the subsurface for locating a growing number of services in urban environment.

The magnitude of urban growth in developing countries in the last century, particularly

after 1950, has been unprecedently very high. Not only Increasing levels of urbanization

are reason by natural growth of the urban population and migration of the rural

population towards cities. Over the past half century, a great rural-to-urban population

move has occurred and the process of urbanization (the focus of people and activities into

areas classified as urban) is set to continue well into the 21st century. Driving forces

includes the opportunities and services offered in urban areas especially jobs and

education. Utilities represent an important part of the urban infrastructure.

According to Geddes Rick (1999), the term ‘public utility’ encompasses a wide

range of variety of industries including, among others, airlines, telecommunications, oil,

natural gas, electricity, trucking, cable television and railroads. These industries share a

common ‘network’ structure, in that they have an extensive distribution system of lines,

pipes, or routes requiring the use of public rights of way, often with strong physical

linkages between component parts. In some cases, such as airlines, government owns a

part of the communications. Public utilities typically have substantial sunk costs because

of the need for extensive infrastructure. Historically, utilities, where privately owned,

have been rate-of-return regulated. Utilities are government-owned in some jurisdictions.

In almost all cases, utilities have been granted legally enforced monopolies over their

service territories.

Human service organizations ultimately aim at evaluating, producing or

delivering some type of goods or services to people in the community (Chisholm, 1995).

Allocating human service resources to needy communities and populations in rapid

34

changing multi-cultural urban areas is becoming a major challenge for both public and

private sector human service organizations. In order to achieve this objective of effective

production and distribution of goods and services, it is necessary to have a detailed

picture of the target population and access to suitable and timely demographic and socio-

economic data pertaining to that population. With this information, public and private

sector human service organizations can make decisions in the best interests of the

citizens/communities they serve. A utility service in the PCMC area is one of the

examples of how kaleidoscope of utility services has changed over the period of time.

In the present chapter utility services are shown with the help of the database

management systems by using GIS. The collection of data, usually referred to as the

‘database’ contains information about a particular event or enterprise. A database is a

collection of data, typically describing the features and activities of one or more related

events and organizations. A database management system (DBMS) consists of a

collection of interrelated data and a set of programs to access that data. The primary goal

of a DBMS is to provide an environment i.e. both convenient and efficient to use in

retrieving and storing database information.

3.2 Utility Services and Urban Land Use Changes

The development of socio-economic infrastructure and urban utility facilities

shows the quality of life of the people of a particular area. The availability of all socio-

economic infrastructures is solely not meant for the development until and unless it is

adequately available corresponding to the population size and extent of area. Utility

services are essential for fulfil the human needs. Therefore in urban areas which are more

developed, there these services are available on large scale. If these services are more,

then the population residing over their lives a very luxurious life. But these services

occupy more land area which is already covered by another use. Such as, the land which

has already covered by agriculture or forest purpose then this land has used for utility

services like hospitals, schools colleges, transport etc. consequently, agricultural or forest

land has decreased day by day which is detrimental for the environment. In India, rural

to urban migration is very high. Therefore urban population increasing continuously

which results into there are fast increase in urban utility services.

3.3 Land Utility Services

Geography plays a major role in the development of a economy of the nation..

Economic geography, a subset of human geography, is based on the study of a country’s

resources, climate, politics, physical geography and population, as they relate to a

country's economy. Many factors are supportive in the development of any region. The

physical factor is the most important of all. Development in many countries, states and

cities is due to physical factors there. With favorable physical factors development is

certain. The ground surface, climate, rivers, land, soil, plants etc. comprise the physical

factors. If you observe the world and its countries in terms of these geographic factors

and the compounded effect of more than one of the above factors acting together, it's easy

to see how and why some countries have prospered and others have not. Mostly people

like develop region because of this region provide many facility and many services.

Every regions development depends upon the resources available in the region and due to

available of the resources the pull of population is accreted to such a region. Hence this

response to the utility formed in the region creates divorce possibility of urbanization by

means of migration. Many cities are developing because of their geographical conditions.

The physical factors in the region under study are suitable for residential,

industrial and agricultural purpose; hence the development. Since the region consists of

geographically plane land, wide network of transport services is also observed. The

industrial development in the region is due to availability of vast land. Agriculture has

also developed due to rivers. Owing to these factors, masses got attracted to this region

leading to development of PCMC area.

Utility services can also be affected by various socio- economic factors, like

social group, economic structure, cultural or ethnic group and tradition of society. The

above factors plays vital role and therefore utility services affected in various wards in

PCMC according to various stages for example low income group strata educates their

children in Marathi medium corporation school and they also use PCMC medical

facilities for example population in slum region of Akurdi, Pimpri and Pimpri- Waghere.

In addition to the above factors, the location of study region also contributes to

the development. Since Pimpri-Chinchwad area is closer to Pune city, it is in demand due

to many functional reasons. The transport facilities have apparently brought PCMC area

36

closer to Pune; therefore many people have settled in PCMC area. As the population

grows up, the demand for requirement rises and to fulfill the same various essential and

important facilities are provided.

3.4 General Utility Services in PCMC

All major utility services have been shown in table. no. 3.1 as well as shown with

graphically in fig. no.3.1 some utility services as like density of roads ,industries, shops,

schools, garden and other (vegetable market, fish market, octrai post, banks etc.) are seen

on large scale.

Various facilities are created for the purpose of fulfilling human demands.

Requirements differ from person to person; although the basic needs remain the same,

physical needs may differ. Bases on the financial status, various materialistic needs occur

that leads to variety in demand. Consequently, demands in services, facilities

These can be classified as under

educational services, industrial services, transport services etc. Besides the cla

vi) Industrial Services – These services consist of like – chemical, automobile,

pharmaceutical, fabrication engineering etc. their numbers and location of

industries.

All the above facilities are observed in the region under study. Out of these, three

main facilities like educational services, transport services and industrial services have

been considered in this chapter as these have affected the land use. These three services

have been selected because education is one of the basic need of human being as well as

industrial services provides employment opportunities to people and transport becomes

essential need for society as well as industries. Consequently residential area increases

because people prefers to live such areas which having these three services.

The region under study consists of four administrative wards/ prabhag namely A,

B, C & D. Each administrative ward comprises of general wards. Above facilities have

been shown according to the administrative wards of PCMC. There are 16 wards each in

A, B, C, &D thus in all there are64 wards in the study region. The educational, transport

and industrial services have been considered mainly according to the administrative

wards A, B, C, & D.

3.6 Educational Services

Pune is well known as a educational hub in Maharashtra as well as in India. Since

PCMC is closer to Pune, influence of education is observed in the study region. PCMC

has got the best educational facilities right from nursery to higher education. It consists of

schools colleges and other institutes. Schools in PCMC area impart education in various

media (like English, Marathi etc.) and colleges offer education in various streams like –

Arts, Commerce and Science (ACS), Engineering, Medical, Law, Pharmacy, BBA, BCS,

B.Ed. etc. Educational services that are considered in the PCMC area consist of many

schools and colleges. Table 3.2 indicates the number of primary schools in administrative

wards, whereas Table No. 3,2 indicates number of primary schools as per teaching media

and figure 3.2 shows distribution according to medium.

‘D’ has maximum number of colleges.

This statistics shows that more number of schools and colleges are in ward ‘A’

and ‘D’. the reason could be the location and various facilities available as ward ‘A’

consists of main places like Nigadi, Akurdi, Bhakti-Shakti, Dattawadi, Kalbhor Nagar

etc. have good transport system like roads and rail to support large population.

Administrative ward ‘B’ has less number of schools but number of colleges as compared

to other wards. Ward “C’ has number of schools but less number of colleges. Wards ‘A’

and ‘D’ have maximum number of schools and colleges because of the location,

population and facilities for transport (along NH-4) are available. In addition to these,

Talawade IT Park and Hinjewadi IT park are closer to ward, ‘A’ and ward ‘D’ which has

affected Education services. Besides, more built up area is found in these wards. In

addition to this, important areas like Sangavi, Pimple Gurav, Kasarwadi, Wakad, Nigadi,

Akurdi fall in this region. Due to the availability of facilities, people find the area more

convenient hence more the built up the area to include residential as well as educational

one. The PCMC area has also management institutions and vocational guidance

institutes.

Database of educational services has been shown in fig. no. 3.4 (a) ,3.4(b), with

the help of this database we are able to find nearest location of any school or college as

well as we can find which are the english , marathi, hindi and urdu medium schools , co-

education( Co-ed) schools, Girls school and boys schools . Beside this we are able to find

location of Arts, Commerce and Science (ACS), College, BBA and BCA college, college

of education (B.Ed, M.Ed ), law college, engineering college and pharmacy colleges.

3.7 Transport Services

Transport services play a major role in the development of any region. Pimpri

Chinchwad is one of the most vibrant industrial and urban settlements in Maharashtra. Its

developed industrial sector, proximity to Pune and the growing IT sector draws a large

group of people and businesses to settle in the city, temporarily or permanently. This

creates a growing demand for urban infrastructure, especially for urban transport

infrastructure and public transport.

Transport facilities have accelerated the pace in the development in PCMC area

that has a large number of industries and companies. It has stepped up demand for

transport. The area under study has roads, rail for the purpose of transport, out of which

roads and rail are more in use. The area has five railway stations namely, Akurdi,

Chinchwad, Pimpri, Kasarwadi and Dapodi. Rail traffic is mainly for passengers and

goods. Roads too are extensively used for transport.

The roads available for intra PCMC area and going outside are as follows –

i) NH-4 (National Highway no. 4) – It passes through the central PCMC area with

approximately a length of 12.5 km. This road links Mumbai and Pune.

ii) A road of 7.2 km length connects Mumbai-Pune highway via Aundh.

iii) On the west of PCMC area, Pune – Nasik state highway no.50 is available.

iv) A part of national highway no. 50 measuring 11.5 km is located east of

Pune-Nasik road.

The roads available for internal transportation are as follows –

a) Old Mumbai-Pune road, Pune-Bhosari-Nasik road, road adjacent to Nigdi gaothan

Areas adjoining these roads are useful for residential colonies.

b) Forty-five meter wide spine road of 2.1 km is available extending from Nigdi

Octrai post to Chinchwad railway line. This area falls under Nigadi authority and is

useful for residential colonies.

c) The twenty-four meter wide Tilak road connects Mumbai-Pune road in the east and

Akurdi railway station in the west.

46

d) Chinchwad gaothan and Chinchwad are connected by a road over railway over

bridge residents from Chinchwad gaothan, Chinchwad station and MIDC use This

road.

e) The link road connecting Chinchwad gaothan and Pimpri camp is an important

road.

f) The road towards south from the Mumbai-Pune road goes to Pimpri town and the

road towards north from Mumbai-Pune road crosses Morwadi to reach MIDC area.

This road is very useful for people residing in Pimpri and Pimpri camp to go to

MIDC area.

g) A road from Landewadi connects Pun-Nasik highway near Atlas factory. It is

useful for residents of Bhosari gaothan, Bhosari hospital, Pimpri-Chinchwad

vehicle department, bus stop, vegetable market area.

h) Part of Mumbai-Pune road near Industrial Oxygen Co. passes through Nehru

Nagar, which is in the northern part of area under study.

Road Density in PCMC:

Road density is measure of accessibility and it is an essential indication of

urbanization. Areas that are highly accessible are those with high percentage of road

density. For urban growth, it is important to provide adequate road density that will

sustain continued growth. Since road density is also important parameter which decides

the urban growth and as well as land use changes. Besides these, roads like Aundh road,

Telco Road, Tathawade road, are in the core part of area therefore; the development in

PCMC area is rapid.

Total 176.41

Table 3.6 indicates lengths of roads and density of their network in the

administrative wards of PCMC area. Maximum density of roads in administrative ward

‘A’. It is 13.59 per sq.km. Length of roads in ward ‘B’ is 230.96 km and density is 5.14

sq.km. Ward ‘C’ has 270.08 km of road and the density is 4.07. Ward ‘D’ has roads

346.93 km long, their density being 11.97.

The density of population is maximum in administrative ward ‘A’, followed by

ward ‘D’ due to large built up area. NH-4 passes through this area and the number of

roads meeting it is large. More so, the administrative ward ‘D’ is closer to Pune.

Important areas like Sangvi, Pimple Saudagar fall in these wards and network of roads is

dense due to markets, IT parks, industries, and commercial activities.

Administrative ward ‘A’ consists of Nigdi, Akurdi, Dattawadi, Chikhali,

Talawade, Akurdi station, Talawade road, Dehu-Alandi road, NH-4 etc. with roads

crossing one another. In addition to these, Talawade IT Park is closer in north of ward,

48

‘A’ which has affected transportation. The road length is more due to vast residential

areas.

Administrative wards ‘B’ and ‘C’ consist of road length 230.96 km. and 270.08

km. respectively. These wards also have residential areas, industrial areas, MIDC zone,

commercial zone etc. The areas like Morwadi, Masulkar colony, Bhosari, Dighi,

tathawade, Chinchwad, Kasarwadi have less road density in spite of being important

areas. Probably, because of the density per sq.km.area in wards ‘B’ and ‘C’ is less as

compared to wards; A’ and ‘D’.

From the above illustration, it can be concluded that roads are of paramount

importance in transportation. Changes in land use have an impact of transportation. As

the residential colonies come up, the roads for transportation are developed. Over a

period of time, many important works take place in the area and development gains

momentum. A similar kind of development can be observed in PCMC area as well.

In the Present study classification of roads have been done on the basis of roads

types, on the basis of following point: 1. national highway, 2. Major roads which is

included Pimpri Bhosari road, Alandi road, Dighi road, MIDC road etc. 3. Minor roads

which is included Sanjay Gandhi Nagar road, Telco road etc.

For the purpose of PCMC analysis of development, all important road have been

taken from the transportation network map prepared using RS and GIS. Fig. no. 3.6 (a),

3.6 (b). 3.6(c) and fig. no. 3.6 (d) shows road buffer zone. Buffer zone of 50 meter, 100

meter and 500 meter on either side of these roads have been generated. The area lying

between 50 meter and 100 meter distances on both side of the road network is rank high

for development and consequently the area lying 500 meter is rank low development.

3.8 Industrial Services

There is a remarkable change in economic change development due to industrial

revolution. Rapid development is observed in these areas where centralization of

industries has taken place. Industrialization has played a major role in the development of

PCMC area. The big plant of Hindustan Antibiotics was commissioned in this area in

1956. MIDC erected the first industrial area around TELCO in 1961-62. It gave boost to

the small-scale industries, which provided opportunity for employment to skilled and

unskilled workers as well. This led to tremendous increase in population in PCMC area;

as people from nooks and corners of Maharashtra and also from other states came here

for employment subsequently settled here.

The industrial growth and expansion of PCMC is h

deployment in Maharashtra. The industries like Tata Motors, SKF, Bajaj Auto,

Alfa Laval, Force Motors, Thermax, Hindustan Antibiotics and a number of small scale

industries have flourished in this area.
