The
Detailed Area Plan (DAP) provides more detailed planning proposals for specific
sub-areas compliant with the Structure Plan and the Urban Area Plan. The Metro
Dhaka Structure Plan area is subdivided into 26 Strategic / Spatial Planning
Zones (SPZ). The DAP will be prepared for each SPZ areas eventually. Until the
DAP is prepared for a sub-area, however, land use management functions will be
exercised through the policies, guidelines, and rules found in the Structure
Plan and the Urban Area Plan. The DMDP Project Cell of RAJUK has already completed
the DAP for Dhaka-Narayangon-Demra (DND) triangle areas.
-
The
area (Dhaka-Narayangonj Demra) comprises of 14,500 acres (22.66 sq. miles)
-
These
areas will offer housing opportunities and will provide planned development
facilities for about 30 lac people.
DAP for
some other priority six SPZ
areas of have been
identified and are being prepared by the consultants. These areas are :
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)
The modern technology based planning tools ie. GIS plays a very
vital role in the database management, spatial analysis and visualization of
urban planning, policy / decision making,
management and monitoring. A GIS unit was installed in RAJUK as one of
the four component in the DMDP. In the process of the DMDP project, the GIS unit
produced all the maps needed for
the Structure Plan and the Urban Area Plan. Currently, the GIS unit is not in a
very much functional stage. The hardware and software installed needs an
upgradation to make the Unit more operational and cope with the present and
future needs. It intends to prepare all the important strategic maps like
Airport Restriction Zone, Key Point Installation, Fault Zones, Flood Zones,
Utility Services and Infrastructure by GIS technology. It also attempts to have
an Automated Mapping (AM) system by GIS technique for the building permission /
approval in the metropolitan areas.
