“…The result is very much the same as reported by Mondal [6] in the same study area. Very recently Arif and Gupta [ [34] also endorse the same and they have applied graph theory of the transport network in the periurban area of Burdwan town. Figure 2 depicts the noise contour map during the early morning (8 -9 am) it has been observed that the maximum noise level 86.9 dB (A) at Burdwan Municipal Boys high school and the minimum noise level is 70.6 dB (A) at Burdwan Banipith high school during early morning hours.…”

Present study was undertaken for assessment of spatial characteristics of road traffic noise at varying intervals viz early morning (8-9 am), late morning (11-12 pm), afternoon (2-3 pm) and evening (6-7 pm) time at ten important locations (near school building) of G. T. Road which is passing through the Burdwan town. Digital noise meter was used for recording the traffic noise and noise contour map was constructed by using Geographical Information System (GIS). The recorded data revealed that the highest and lowest average noise 67.1 dB (A) and 86.9 dB (A), respectively. The results revealed that the performance of the CRTN model in both afternoon and evening time for predicting noise level near school building with a coefficient of determination (R2) are 0.536 and 0.544 and a mean difference of - 1.19 dB (A) and - 0.48 dB (A) between the measured and predicted values respectively. Similarly, Pearson statistics also revealed the strong correlation between measured and predicted noise level at afternoon (r = 0.732, p < 0.016) and evening time (r = 0.744, p < 0.014). However, the predicted traffic noise during early morning and late morning hour are less than 0.5. These low values are due to irregular traffic speed, traffic density and irregular building height are the appropriate reasons for low accuracy in predicting model. Finally, it may be suggested that CRTN model can be a decision tool for predicting equivalent noise level in the city like Burdwan.

“…remoteness with low-level connections. The Shimbel accessibility index (Shimbel, 1951(Shimbel, , 1963, also known as the D-Matrix, is derived from estimations of the relative distance from the point of origin to a destination (Arif and Gupta, 2020). Like the associate number, the lowest value of Shimbel index indicates the most accessible node, while the highest specifies the least accessible one, which is found by counting the number of arcs needed to connect any pair of nodes in the network by the shortest paths.…”

Role of transport network accessibility in the spread of COVID-19 - a case study in Savar Upazila, Bangladesh

The aim of this research was to test the hypothesis that people in a typical high-transport zone are particularly vulnerable with respect to transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a new contagious disease that has rapidly developed into a highrisk global problem. A case study was carried out in Savar Upazila, a sub-district of the capital city Dhaka in Bangladesh, which is traversed by a prominent national highway (Dhaka- Aricha-N5) that also passes the concentric industrial export processing zone surrounding Dhaka. This municipality is thus part of a high-density transport network with extensive economic activities. COVID-19 data were collected from local records at the Upazila Health Complex, while spatial data of the Savar Upazila, including the pertinent road network, were identified and digitized using geographical information systems software. The presence of COVID-19 in in Savar Upazila was found to be strongly associated with the reach and mechanism of transport networks (Pearson correlation = 0.76 with 99% confidence interval).

“…This scheme should give compensation for any kind of loss Agri-infrastructure including agricultural markets, cold storage, warehouses, and agroprocessing should expand at the required pace with that of agricultural production Household income Should increase the income in agricultural sector by giving fixed amount for major agricultural products Villagers should be involved in regular work rather than part time work More female work participation Healthcare Make Anamay hospital a full-fledged hospital rather than an extension of Burdwan Hospital Should construct health corridor in peri-urban area.Open more fair price medicine outlets in each village Each village council should have an ambulance Education Very necessary to establish senior secondary schools with all facilities like text books, furniture, storage in classrooms, playgrounds, libraries, laboratories, etc. Upgradation of middle school to higher secondary school Small-scale industry To reduce pollution in nearby villages Need to upgrade to modern technology and increase productivity Develop strong marketing network Transport facilities All earthen roads to convert to black topped roads Improvement of road geometry by correction of alignment, segregation of pedestrian walkways, appropriate location of road dividers [80] Construct a bypass for heavy loaded trucks and also go downs in this road Governance Development of an efficient regulatory framework and the establishment of city planning committees is very important Taking necessary measures to merge peri-urban areas with local urban authorities Strengthening regulatory framework of local body ombudsman Unified command under an empowered and accountable Mayor has been proposed through greater densification in the north-eastern part of the existing city.…”

Population growth, economic development, and rural-urban migration have contributed to the rapid growth of peripheral areas in Indian cities. The immigration of population and emergence of new activities are changing these areas, as seen in changes in land use and occupational structures, reduced agricultural activities, and built-up structural development. The city of Burdwan is no exception to this phenomenon of accelerated population growth. With the passage of time, this city is expanding towards peri-urban villages, thereby strongly influencing the peripheral rural settlements in the dimensions of both natural and social resource. Thus, advance spatial development planning of land use and infrastructure for a speedily growing population that is projected is highly important. In the current decade, the use of an environmental approach in the planning of peri-urban areas has gained significant recognition. However, desegregation of socioeconomic sectors has been mentioned very loosely. This paper seeks to achieve spatial development in peri-urban areas by taking into account socioeconomic and demographic factors along with environmental principles. Hence, the objective for the study is based on a mixed-method approach to assess major problems of a peri-urban space. We applied an interdisciplinary approach which merged household survey and temporal change analysis over three time periods (1991, 2001, and 2011) based on geographical information systems. Results show substantial built-up growth and that agricultural workers drastically decreased in the last twenty years. Finally, considering the structural and functional potential of peri-urban areas, land use zoning plan was prepared. Further, zone-wise development plan was designed for sustainable and intensive development of the city. This study has explicitly focused on quantifying physical and social infrastructure at various spatial scales, which can be implemented in other cities for balanced regional development and in identifying and mitigating disparities for balanced regional development.
