PREFACE
The Master plan was prepared by the Hampi World Heritage Area
Management Authority (HWHAMA) as part of its mandate to protect
cultural, natural heritage and regulate development in the Local Planning
Area. The plan was prepared under Karnataka Town and Country Planning
(KTCP) Act 1961 with the assistance of the Department of Town and
Country Planning, Government of Karnataka.
The Hampi World Heritage Area Management Authority constituted
under Hampi World Heritage Area Management Authority Act 2002 shall
be a Planning Authority for the Local Planning Area under section 81 D
and 81 E of KTCP Act - 1961. The Local Planning Area for Hampi has
been first declared on 1-12-2004 and has been extended on by including
entire revenue villages vide G.O.No Na Aa E 161 Be Ma Pra 2006 dated 41-2007. As per this notification there are only 29 revenue villages within
the Local Planning Area.
The Heritage Area defined under the Hampi World Heritage Area
Management Authority Act, 2002 shall be Local Planning Area declared
under section 4 (A) of KTCP Act - 1961. The Local Planning Area
measures 236.46 Sq km out of which nearly 172 Sq km of area lies to the
south of the River and 64 Sq kms of area to the north of the river
comprising 29 revenue villages, 14 from Hospet taluka and 15 from
Gangavati taluka. The Core Zone which measures 41.8 Sq km is protected
by Buffer and Peripheral zone.
This planning exercise differs to other local planning areas. People
live within the archaeological area and continue with their respective
traditional practices such as agriculture, rituals etc., giving the character
of a living heritage site. Transformations within the traditional cultural
patterns such as agriculture, transportation etc., and growing needs of
the local people and visitors is leading to a conflict with the conservation
needs of predominant archaeological nature of the World Heritage Site.
The master plan aims to strike a balance between preservation of

heritage and development needs of local people. It is one of the first such
exercises being taken up for a world heritage site in India.
The Master plan (provisional) was submitted to the Government and
subsequently approved vide GO no: Na Aa E 85 Be Ma Pra 2007
Bangalore Dated 14-5-2007. A notification in this regard is given in the
official Gazette dated 12 July 2007 calling for objections and suggestions
from the people of the Local Planning Area. The time given was sixty days
under the provisions of KTCP Act. Authority received 134 objections which
were scrutinized and discussed and decisions were taken in the Authority
meeting dated 30th November 2007 and accordingly maps and report with
Zonal Regulations are prepared for the final approval.
During the process of finalizing the Master Plan, objections and
suggestions by the stakeholders including feed back from various Central
and State government agencies, Individuals, Grama Panchayats, Elected
representatives, District level meetings, Tourism conclave, Exhibition of
the

master

plan

at

Kamalapur

and

Anegundi,

Consultation

with

international agencies such as UNESCO were taken into consideration.


For the 4 settlements in the core area i.e. Hampi, Kaddirampura,
Kamalapura and Anegundi detail surveys were conducted out on a priority
because

of

their

sensitive

nature

and

are

undergoing

rapid

transformation. A detailed mapping exercise using ISRO base map, total


station survey map are taken up, based on which proposals were worked
out for these four settlements. It was resolved in the Authority meeting
dated 30th November 2007 to submit the Master Plan so prepared for
Hampi Local Planning Area to the Government for final approval.

Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION
a. HAMPI WORLD HERITAGE SITE
The site was inscribed as Hampi Group of Monuments in 1986.
Fourteen monuments were covered initially in this inscription and later all
the 56 monuments protected by the ASI are considered for World
Heritage.

The discussions between the Government of India (GOI) and

Government of Karnataka (GOK) to comply with the guidelines of World


Heritage Centre regarding the protective measures culminated in a
measure initiated by the GOK. In exercise of the powers conferred under
sub-section 3 of section 19 of the Karnataka Ancient and Historical
Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1961, the
Notification dated 22nd October 1988 declared that the archaeological
sites and remains in specified areas in the villages of Hampi, Krishnapura,
Kaddirampura,

Singanathanahalli,

Kamalapura,

Venkatapura,

Bukkasagara and Nimbapura in Hospet taluka of Bellary district and


Anegundi and Virupapura Gadda in Gangavathi taluka of Raichur (now in
Koppal) district as protected area.
The site was included in the endangered list in 1999 due to the
developments being carried out in an unplanned manner causing negative
impact to the significance of the site. This led to the various corrective
measures by the GOK and GOI including the establishment of a site
management mechanism through the enactment of Hampi World Heritage
Area Management Authority Act 2002 which recognizes the protected
area under Archaeological Act as Core zone.
b. LOCAL PLANNING AREA
The area governed by HWHAMA is based on the core zone declared
as Protected area under the provisions of state archeology act vide
notification number ITY 137 KMU 84 dated 22nd Oct 1988 which includes
8 villages of Hospet taluk and 2 villages of Gangavathi taluk.

Accordingly

the

Government has approved the proposal and the Local Planning Area
was revised by including entire revenue villages vide Notification No:
NaAaE 161 Be Ma Pra 2006 dated 4-1-2007. The Local Planning Area
comprises of 29 villages, 14 from Hospet taluka and 15 from Gangavati
taluk covering an area of 236.46 Sq kms. Out of which 172.56 Sq Kms of
area lies to the south of the River which houses 45908 persons at the rate

The Core Zone measures 41.8 Sqkm and is protected by Buffer


zone and peripheral zone.

The Core zone contains four larger

settlements like Kamalapura, Anegundi, Hampi and Kaddiramapura.


These villages are considered important and detailed studies, plans have
been prepared after carrying out various surveys.
d. Soil:
The most prevalent soil in the area is reddish sandy loam which is
characterized on the banks of river Tungabhadra the reddish brown soil
occur at the fringes of the hills due to the decomposition of rocks.
However black cotton soil also occurs in the area.
e. Geology1:
Geology formations are of archean origin occurring in elongated
bands of Dharwar formations which is source for rich mineral wealth. The
Economic minerals associated with this formation are hematite iron ore,

that critical. Situation in Kamalapura town has also witnessed gradual
depletion of ground water level from 1.98 m during 1997 to 3.45 m in
2005. Hence necessary action need to be taken to rejuvenate or recharge
the ground water adopting various methods like Rain water harvesting,
construction of new tanks, check dams, etc.
g. Seismic Zone
The seismic hazard map of India was updated in 2000 (3) by the
bureau of Indian standards (BIS). According to the new map the state of
Karnataka lies in zone II & III. Interestingly, the Bellary region, which
experienced a strong earthquake in 1840s, has been down graded to
Zone II. The 1984 BIS Zoning map has placed Bellary region in Zone III.
Bellary region which falls in Zone II seismic Zone is referred to as
low damage risk Zone the probable intensity is MM VI.

REGIONAL STUDIES
a. LOCATION
The Hampi World Heritage Site is located in the State of Karnataka in
Southern India. The site is spread over two districts of the state,
Gangavati taluk of Koppal district and Hospet taluk of Bellary district, and
divided by the mighty River Tungabhadra in to two parts. Hampi is
situated at 15 20' 12" North latitude and 76 27' 32" East longitude. The
altitude of the place is 467.000 mtrs above MSL. Also the place is situated
at a distance of 346 kms away from the state capital i.e. Bangalore.
Distance to important cities in the state like Hubli is 150 kms, Gulbarga
400 kms, Mangalore 420 kms and Mysore 510 kms.
The place is connected by a state highway which passes through the
Local Planning Area and the nearest railways station is at Hospet city
which connects the state capital and other important cities in the state
and cities in the other states too.

b. PHYSICAL SETTING
The Tungabhadra River traverses the Hampi landscape. Flowing in a
northeasterly direction the river has cut its way through weaker, more
fractured rocky terrain, creating a narrow gorge.

For some distance,

granite hills hem the river, the highest of which are Matanga hill on the
south bank, rising 115 meters above the river, and Anjanadri hill near the
north bank, almost 140 meters high. Flooding has worn away the rocks
that border the river, creating islands, lagoons and small pools. A parallel
valley to the south marks an alternate course where the river overflowed
during wet periods. Yet further south, the granite outcrops gradually
disappear and the landscape opens out in to a broad plain. This continues
for more than 10 kilometers before ending at the rising slopes of the
Sandur hills beyond the modern town of Hospet. These hills are rich in
iron and manganese and are now subject to intensive strip mining.

c. NATURAL FEATURES

View of the Tungabhadra River amidst the rocky landscape


1. Hillocks and Forest areas
The most important physical and natural feature of the site is its
outstanding rocky hillocks characterized by granite boulders and
forests giving the historic reference to the entire site. The rocky
hillocks with forest areas are spread over the entire site. There are
some hillocks of religious and mythological reference like Hemakuta,
Ratnakuta and Matanga hills in Hampi and Krishnapura village,
Anjanadri in Anjanhalli village. These rocky formations have to be
preserved as an outstanding natural landscape and preserve the
Heritage value of the site. The total area under rocky hillocks which
includes hills, rocky outcrops and quarries is 5713.05 Ha which is
24.16% and forests which include land scrubs are 5354.06 Ha which is
22.64% of the Local Planning Area. No development is allowed in the
forest areas and hillocks. (Refer annexure 7)
MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

2. Water bodies
This includes both manmade and natural structures other than the
River. At Hampi, the historic water system has been developed to
utilize every source of water. Within this system, there are two sub systems, one for irrigation and the other for domestic supply. The
system demonstrates the local knowledge of the natural topography of
the site. The River Tungabhadra is the main source of water. The water
system includes both natural and manmade features such as Tanks,
Wells, Stepped wells, Bridges, Canals, Embankments, Dams, Water
gates, Anecuts and Aqueducts. The Anecuts (used for diverting the
water into the canals), Watergates, Spill channels, Canals and
Reservoirs form a part of the irrigation system. The canals are of two
types - perennial and seasonal. The Aqueducts, well designed Tanks
form part of the domestic water supply system. The remains and parts
of this system can be seen all over the site.
The irrigation activity in the area dates back to the Vijayanagara &
even earlier times.

During Vijayanagar period there were important

tanks and irrigation canals like Turtha, Basavanna, Raya, Kalaghatta


and Anegundi canals. Most of these canals are old and needs proper
maintenance.

Among all these historic canals Turtha canal is an

important right bank canal which mainly irrigates the lands around
Hampi. Turtha-anecut and Sanapur Anecut were constructed across
river Tungabhadra is located to the north east of Virupaksha temple.
The Anegundi canal is located to the north of River Tungabhadra and
starts

from

Sanapur

Anecut.

This

canal

mainly

meets

the

requirements of the residents of Anegundi and agriculturalists of


Sanapur, Virupapura Gadda, Hanamanahalli, Ramdurga, Singanagunda
and Sangapura etc., The total length of various historic Vijayanagara
canals and area irrigated by each canals are given in Table -4 below:

i. Tungabhadra River:
The torrential River Tungabhadra is traversing through Local
Planning Area, which divides the planning area into two parts, which
forms natural /administrative boundary of Bellary/ Koppal districts.
The River has important monuments on either side, added to the
natural beauty of the location. Floods occur mostly in the month of
August when the Dam gates are opened.
ii. Kamalapura tank:
The Kamalapura Tank is one of the oldest and Vijayanagara
period Tank in the Local Planning Area and is still irrigating the
lands around Kamalapura.

The tank is located in Sy no 879 of

Kamalapura village covering an area of 192.72 Hectares. The tank


was fed by river canal with water directly from perennial River
Tungabhadra. The Tank receives water from Raya-Canal and was
meeting the varied requirements of the residents of Vijayanagara
City. It is the biggest tank in the entire Local Planning Area and is
located on the HospetKamalapura road i.e. to the south of
Kamalapura Town. The Tank is nearly irrigating 290.00 Ha of land.

e. SETTLEMENT PATTERN
There are 28 villages and 1 town in the Local Planning Area out of
which 13 villages are on the south side of the River i.e. in the Hospet
taluk and 15 villages on the north side of the River i.e. in the Gangavati
taluk. Other than these settlements, small hamlets are scattered in the
Local Planning Area mostly belonging to the settling nomadic communities
(Lambani Thanda). Except Nimbapur revenue village all other revenue
villages have habitations. The biggest settlement in the Local Planning
Area is Kamalapura followed by Anegundi, both of which have historical
background.

1. Population Growth:
As per 2001 census the Hampi Local Planning Area has 59,941
population

comprising

settlement.

27

rural

settlements

and

one

urban

The Local Planning Area has registered the highest

decadal growth rate of 28.78% during 1971 and 1981 as against


the lowest decadal growth rate of 18.63% during 1991 and 2001.
The population of Hampi Local Planning Area has been otherwise
growing steadily registering for about 20% of growth rate.
2. Projected population
The study of the population growth of different villages has
revealed that some villages like Hampi, Ramapura and Mallapura
have registered high growth of population compared to other
villages, which have been slowly growing.

Hampi village has

registered high growth of population because of radical socioeconomic transformation due to activities generated by tourism
sector.

In other words it is characterized by the developments

around famous Virupaksha Temple like many guest houses, shops,


resorts, hotels/restaurants, travel agencies, money exchangers and
tourist homes etc., and enjoys the excellent river view. This has
resulted in high growth of population in Hampi Village. The other
two villages Ramapur and Mallapur have registered highest growth
of population after 1991. This is because of the rehabilitation
schemes at these villages.
Anegundi and Kaddiramapura are among the core zone
villages. Anegundi has 3497 people as per 2001 census. The village
has registered the slowest growth of population for past 3 to 4
decades. Kaddiramapura is another village located on the Hospet-

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

Hampi road with 1280 population as per 2001 census. This village
has also registered the slowest growth of population.
Kamalapura is the only town, which has the status of census
town and has population of 21,311 as per 2001 census. The town
has registered highest growth rate during 19711981 (25.88%) as
against the lowest growth rate of 4.2% during 1991-2001.

The

growth of the town has been slow but is expected to be high in


coming years.

3. Literacy and sex ratio:


The study of various demographic characteristics especially
literacy in Local Planning Area villages reveals that, the literacy
level is very low compared to the other parts of the state. The
literacy is very low in Hospet taluk compared to Gangavathi taluk.
Among all the villages Virupapura Gadda(56%), Hampi(52%), and
Anegundi(45%) are having the highest literacy rate.
As regards to the sex ratio, the Local Planning Area enjoys
better sex ratio as per 2001 census compared to the states average
of 963. Out of 29 villages of Local Planning Area only 5 villages in
Gangavathi taluka namely Krishnapura, Laxmipura, Hanumanahalli,
Ramapura and Mallapura are below the states average.

The

highest sex ratio of 1625 females per 1000 males is noticed in


Singanagunda Village as per 2001 census. The study of sex ratio

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

15

PART A

reveals that the lowest ever sex ratio was being registered in 1981
in Ramadurga. Mallapura, Basanadurga, Singanadurga, Ramapura
and Rangapura are also having poor sex ratio which varies from 237
to 800 during 1971 to 1991, but considerably improved during
2001. Refer annexure 11
g. COMMUNITY FACILITIES
A study of Physical and Social infrastructure in Hampi Local
Planning Area reveal the level of social, cultural and economical
values of the community. The details of various facilities available in
the planning area are explained below.
1. Educational facilities:
The study of educational facilities reveals that the entire Local
Planning Area has no of Anganawadis, twelve government
primary schools, out of which eleven are government, one is
private. There are two government and two private high schools in
the Local Planning Area.
Kamalapura town has two primary and higher primary
schools, two high Schools, one college and Hampi Kannada
University. The students of Local Planning Area mainly depend on
Hospet, Kampli and Gangavati for their higher and technical
education. (Refer annexure 8)
2. Health facilities:
One Primary health

center

at

Anegundi

village

and

Kamalapura town is functioning. Some villages like Bukkasagara,


Nagenahalli, Venkatapura, Anegundi, Sanapura, Chikkarampura,
Anjanhalli, and Hanumanhalli private doctors/clinics are functioning.
In case of any kind of emergency to the local population and visitors
the nearest medical assistance can be availed at Hospet or
Gangavati except a basic first aid in the existing primary health
centre at Kamalapura. (Refer annexure 9)

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

PART A

3. Utilities and other services


i. Water supply
Drinking water supply system is available only with few
panchayats. Remaining village panchayats are dependent mainly on
the river water or on the wells. A comprehensive water supply
project shall be planned.
ii. Sanitation
Major villages such as Kamalapura, Bukkasagara have open
drains. A infrastructure plan for the drainage system in all the
villages is lacking which is resulting in the construction of drainage
in an isolated manner whenever funds are available to the local
body.
iii. Solid waste management
The local bodies are responsible for the solid waste management.
With the available resources and knowledge the solid waste is
collected and disposed. A comprehensive solid waste management
plan is needed for the world heritage site.
iv. Electricity
Most of the villages on the north side of the river are lacking
continuous power supply due to non availability of sub station. The
electrical

wiring

system

is

done

over

the

ground

in

the

Archaeological area. It is proposed to lay the cables under ground.


Care has to be taken while laying the electrical cables not to effect
the Archaeological remains. Only in the Hampi Bazaar an attempt
was made to lay the cables underground.

h. TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATION


Hampi World Heritage site is located 12 Kms from Hospet urban
area on Hospet Kampli State Highway and the site is also connected
by Hampi Bellary and Koppal - Gangavathi Major district roads. The
major transportation needs of the area are originated either from rural
economy or from tourism. The traffic volumes on the regional road
network are a result of the above two main functions overlapping. The
increasing traffic volume and uncontrolled movement of both types of
traffic are potentially harmful to the monuments and archaeological
remains.
1. Present Traffic Patterns
i. Rural Transport Flows
The rural economy generates traffic movements and volumes
that are directly related to the production of agricultural products.
Patterns are most visible in the form of trucks and tractors
transporting bananas and sugar cane out of the area, paddy to the
mills, and fertilizer into the area, apart from the traditional bullock
carts on all roads and tracks.
In addition to the major crop-related traffic flows, there are
flows related to intra-regional trade and socio-economic needs such
as visits to health, education and administrative facilities that would
be largely reflected in the statistics on bus and motorcycle trips. As
motorization is as yet very low in rural India, private car trips
account for the smallest portions of the daily movements recorded in
the annual traffic census on all major roads.

ii. Tourism Traffic


Tourism has added two types of traffic to the existing traffic flows
generated by agricultural economy and settlements. There are number
of trips of tourists from Hospet to the World Heritage Site. In addition
to these there are trips caused by the traders catering to the tourist
bazaar around Virupaksha Temple as well as the entrepreneurs in the
"Hampi Village".
iii. Characteristics of roads:
We are considering mainly all-weather roads and not all
those earth roads and tracks that exist in the Heritage Area as
part of the transport system. The district roads are narrow,
barely

wide

enough

for

heavy

vehicles,

typically

with

characteristics that limit speed and capacity, such as soft


shoulders, deficient drainage, and uneven or damaged surfaces,
as well as narrow and precarious passages in villages. Given the
mix of slow and fast moving traffic on rural roads, most district
roads can be said to be operating near their capacity. The same
can be stated for some of the roads inside the World Heritage
Site. In case of Kamalapura - Kampli road (State Highway) with

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

19

PART A

its much neglected maintenance, the surface conditions are so


bad that the road is being operating even beyond its capacity.
The internal roads in the historic villages are narrow and defined
by the buildings abutting the roads.
i. EXISTING LAND UTILIZATION - 2006
The study of entire Local Planning Area reveals that, it has an
outstanding natural landscape traversed by the torrential River
Tungabhadra. The area is characterized by rocky hillocks, water tanks,
historic canals; Archaeological remains and is rich in Agriculture. The
physical surveys conducted in Hampi, Anegundi, Kaddiramapura and
Kamalapura has revealed that the World Heritage site has attracted
many activities and influencing the land use pattern. The existing land
utilization analysis of Local Planning Area is given in Table 8 below.

ECONOMIC BASE

PART A

Chapter 3
Economic base
The economic base of the Local Planning Area is essentially
characterized by rural economy of the two Talukas, which are rich in
agriculture dominated by the cash crops and tourism activities generated
by the Hampi World Heritage Site.

Rainfall intensity in Bellary and

Koppal Districts is in the modest range of 500 - 700 mm per year. The
Tungabhadra

irrigation

scheme,

which

consists

of

the

dam

and

extensive irrigation canals, was completed in the early 1950s.


a. OCCUPATIONAL PATTERN:
The occupational pattern of the Local Planning Area is basically rural
in character. There are 27,991 (53.32%) workers as against 31,969
non-workers (46.68%) in the Heritage Area. The study of composition
of workers and non-workers reveals that the dependants are slightly
more than the working population.

Among the total number of

workers there are 24,849 main workers accounting for about 88.77%
and remaining 3142 (11.23%) are marginal workers.

It is also seen

that the marginal workers are more in Gangavathi taluka (20.59%)


than in Hospet taluka (8.21%). Most of the people in Hampi, Anegundi
and Virupapaura Gadda are dependent on Tourism in the World
Heritage Site in the form of Guest house owners, shops selling goods,
guides, local transportation etc.
Skilled crafts persons1 are found in most of the villages within the
present core zone. Though there are very few opportunities for the
traditional skills, their presence implies the self-sustaining properties of
each village. The list of the traditional craftsperson in the L.P.A is as
follows
1. Earth-workers,

Well-sinkers,

Tank-diggers

and

Stone-dressers

(Vodda)
2. Stone-carvers for Temples (Shilpi)

(Refer annexure 12)
b. Agriculture:
Gangawati Taluk is referred to as the "rice bowl of Karnataka" and was
true even 600 years ago (90% of the paddy growing areas of Koppal District
are in this Taluk). Similarly, the part of Hospet Taluk that lies in the World
Heritage Site is one of the largest commercial banana plantations in the
region, with exports of bananas over long distances up to the Goa coast.
Both Taluks have important sugar cane productions on altogether 5000 ha.
The rich agricultural conditions are clearly visible in the lush green valley
areas with paddy fields, banana and sugar cane plantations, surrounded by
the granite boulders that provided the material for the Hampi monuments,
apart from giving the landscape its characteristic shape. Details are given
in the Table 9 below.

c. Tourism
Tourism in Hampi World Heritage Site is currently an un-organized
sector due to un-planned growth. A community based Tourism strategy
shall be prepared for the Local Planning Area to develop a integrated
sustainable system between conservation and development which
eventually caters to the needs of the locals and the visitors. Details are

TOURISM

PART A

Chapter 4:

TOURISM
Hampi World Heritage Site is one of the important destinations in
south India with the following significant cultural and natural heritage in
the area
1. More than 1600 State Archaeology protected monuments
2. 56 A.S.I protected monuments
3. 5 Historic canals and associated water systems
4. More than 100 kms of Fortifications
5. More than 100 kms of Historic pathways
6. 41.8 Sq kms of protected area
7. Natural areas such as hillocks, irrigated valleys, river, water bodies
etc
8. Flora and Fauna
9. Intangible heritage
The serene, majestic and imposing environment of Hampi World Heritage
Site welcomes the tourists to the worlds largest open-air museum1.
Once the proud City of Victory is now a City of ruins. However,
the ruins of these historical monuments have stood the ravages of
man and time and still evoke the memories of regal splendor.
There

were

fortifications,

temples,

markets,

massive

aqueducts,

pavilions and stables for royal elephants.2


All the above features are mostly concentrated in an area of 25 sq
kms. As on today an average, there are 2000 visitors per day visiting the
site and its surroundings, out of which Pilgrims comprise of 80 % of the

PART A

visitors. From the current trends only a few of them get to see all the
above Cultural and Natural areas due to lack of accessibility and other
facilities for visitors.
Above all, Hampi is a sacred site. 80% of the visitors are pilgrims.
The Virupaksha temple at Hampi, dedicated to the lord Shiva is one of the
main living temples. Hampi, the sacred center or the pilgrimage center is
on the banks of river Tungabhadra. The place is also linked to myths and
legends especially with the story of Kishkinda. This association with
mythology attracts lots of tourists from different parts of India especially
from states such as Gujarat, Rajasthan to see places like Pampa Sarovar,
Anjanadri Parvat etc. In the process of pilgrimage, most of the pilgrims
witness the magnificent ruins wherein we find royal palaces, temples,
massive fortifications, ceremonial places, baths, markets, aqueducts,
pavilions and stables for royal elephants, etc. .
The growth of tourist population has been very much consistent
throughout the year with December and January being the most favorite
months and the June being the lowest. The average number of tourists
visiting Hampi is 45,000 per month in 2000 to 65,000 during 2005 has
been growing steadily every year.
For tourist statistics and details Refer annexure 13
The following are some of the key aspects in the tourism sector.
a. Visitor Management:
1. Visitor movement:
The World Heritage Site of Hampi can be approached from 5
different entry points from all the cardinal directions. The commonly
used approach is from Hospet, which is located just 12 Kms away.
Hospet is the second largest city in Bellary district and is well
connected by National Highway, state highway and good rail
network.

The nearest Airport is at Toranagallu which is 30 Km.

from Hospet. To reach Hampi either one has to take their own

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

25

PART A

/rented vehicle or take public transport buses from Hospet. To see


the site, due to its vast expanse, people usually hire vehicles (Two
and

three

wheelers,

bicycles)

to

see

the

site.

Large

scale

unorganized movement of polluting vehicles over the archaeological


area is an important issue impacting the environs of Hampi.
Transportation compatible for pedestrians, handicapped persons
is needed. Non polluting vehicles for visitor movement and diversion
of the vehicular traffic away from the protected area are required.
2. Visitor accommodation:
There are good private hotels in Hospet which is mainly taking
care of the tourists lodging/hotel requirements. In addition to the
lodging facilities available in Hospet, there exist KSTDC hotel in
Kamalapur, Hospet and private guesthouses/resorts in Hampi and
Virupapur Gadda. In addition to the hotels and lodges, there are
home stays in Anegundi developed with the support of UNDP funds.
For Tourist accommodation details refer annexure 15
b. Improvement of the surroundings of destination
The entry points to the site from various directions shall be
developed and integrated with the proposed nodes by Department of
Tourism. Development of Areas for leisure and recreation such as the
development of historic bund of Kamalapura tank shall be taken up
along with the improvement of infrastructure in terms of services
(Water

supply,

sewerage

system,

electricity,

firefighting,

street

furniture)
c. Presentation of Historic buildings
The cultural heritage of Hampi has to be properly showcased to the
visitors to understand the place. The natural features, structures and
areas which are significant in the Local Planning Area have to be
appropriately presented and interpreted.

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

26

PART A

d. Solid waste management


Solid Waste Management in the settlements and visitor areas within
the Local Planning Area is very poor. This is leading to unhygienic
conditions in the world heritage site. Solid waste management and
public conveniences in the settlements and visitor areas within the
Local Planning Area needs to be improved.
e. Accessibility
Most of the cultural and natural areas are inaccessible from the
main highways and nearby settlements. The accessibility to the site
and within the site (inter state linkage, regional linkage & circulation
network within the site) has to be improved. Different kinds of access
identified are
1. Road connectivity
2. Access to monuments
3. Special routes
4. Thematic routes
f. Activities directly related to Tourism
There is a lot of other potential areas rather than visits to the few
temples and monuments such as adventure activities which as of now
are carried out only during the Hampi Utsav. Activities such as
adventure sports, cultural events, traditional art and craft forms, and
traditional sports are some of the main attractions. Infrastructure
needed for these activities needs to be developed which can increase
the average length of stay of the visitors.
g. Interpretation
A proper interpretation of the site is lacking except the basic
information available at the A.S.I site museum at Kamalapura. More
interpretative tools are required to understand the complex nature of
the site.

HERITAGE BUILDINGS AND


HERITAGE PRECINTS

PART A

Chapter 5
Heritage Precincts and Heritage Buildings
Local Planning Area has historic settlements such as Kamalapura,
Anegundi etc. These settlements represent the cultural pattern of the
people from the past through spatial organization with in and between;
built form and open spaces. The precinct/ zone, is an area within the
historic settlement consisting of heritage buildings and historic open
spaces. Heritage precincts/ zone and heritage buildings were identified in
two villages (Kamalapura & Anegundi), within the core zone. Refer Map
13.a and Map and 14.a for heritage precincts.
The heritage buildings and historic open spaces identified are not
protected either by Archaeological Survey of India or state Department of
Archaeology and Museums. In order to retain these important buildings
and historic open spaces embodying the local cultural values this is
defined under the section 2 (i-ea) & 2 (i-eb) of Karnataka Town and
Country Planning Act 1961.
There

are

81

buildings

identified

as

heritage

buildings

in

Kamalapura, 70 buildings in Anegundi. The scale of the heritage buildings


varies depending on the occupation and other social criteria of the owner
of the building. The heritage buildings are mostly residential except a few
shops, school, and community chowdies. The buildings are mainly with
stone walls made with mud or lime mortar, internally supported
commonly

by

wooden

columns.

Traditionally

system

of

building

maintenance is still in practice by some of the owners.

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

28

PART A

Following measures of conservation are needed for the maintenance


of the heritage building
a. Preservation
Deals directly with repairs that are carried out to prevent further
decay, damage and destruction caused by water in all its forms by
chemical agents and by all types of pests and micro organisms
For example: Traditional maintenance of the buildings at regular
intervals such as white washing during festivals, annual roof
consolidation works etc to prevent water seepage and pest control.
b. Consolidation
It is the physical addition or application of compatible and
supportive materials into the actual fabric of structural property in
order to ensure its continued durability or structural integrity
For example: Repairs to structural members especially with building
systems using wood, lime and mud mortar, bricks to ensure
structural stability.
c. Restoration
It is a process to revive the original concept or legibility of the
cultural property. It includes reintegration of details and features
based upon respect for original material, archaeological evidence,
original design and authentic documents
For example: To use authentic design, building material, skills in
case of repair or replacement of an architectural element such as
wooden column, masonry wall etc.
d. Rehabilitation
It is a practice to preserve buildings by keeping them in use by way
of modernization with or without adaptive alteration.
For example: Up-gradation of services or an interior of a heritage
building to meet the modern day needs so that usage of the
building is continued.

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

PART A

The technology adopted in the heritage buildings is not commonly


used due to which there is a scarcity in the skilled workmanship. In order
to provide a continuous supply of building materials and workmanship
needed for the conservation and maintenance of heritage buildings,
alternative building technology and materials shall be developed by the
building center of HWHAMA in consultation with other agencies.
Detailed heritage regulations are framed which forms a part of
Zonal Regulations. For implementation of Heritage regulations HERITAGE
FUND will be created with the support of grant from govt and also from
private sources subject to the approval of government.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
AND VISION

PART A

Chapter - 6
Statement of significance and Vision1
The entire stretch of the site of Vijayanagara, the metropolitan
capital city of the 16th century represents a synthesis of timeframe
spanning from prehistoric to its height of glory as the most magnificent
capital of its time, the Vijayanagara period and continuity since adding a
new layer of agricultural and rural beauty. This large area is scattered
with remains from all these periods and little fortified villages living on
subsistence agriculture. The spectacular archaeological and architectural
remains of the core of the capital strewn over a spread of 25 sq kms, with
large temple complexes with their bazaar streets, gigantic platforms and
other structures located within valleys of the most outstanding landscape
of boulders with the river Tungabhadra flowing through it, makes it a
perfect picture. It consists of myriad heritage components, temple
complexes, villages, building typologies, structures, single items of
archaeological and historical value and fragments reform into a number of
historic knowledge systems such as water systems, defense systems,
circulation network systems etc. The cultural value is further reinforced by
the living traditions that have evolved over time, including local building
traditions and occupational trends.
The current criterion2 for inscription that highlights the authenticity
and integrity of the site is as follows:
1. Criteria I:

Masterpiece of human genius

2. Criteria III:

Exceptional testimony to a civilization, which has


disappeared

3. Criteria IV:

Chapter 8
Development Plans

8.a Base map:


1. Local Planning Area

Remote Sensing (RS) in conjunction with Geographical Information


System (GIS) is emerging as an important tool for carrying out specific
archaeology related applications. These techniques are used especially in
the preparation of Base maps, layers for Heritage Site Management,
Inventory of the cultural resources, Predictive location modelling studies
and so on. Multi-spectral high resolution satellite images, digital data from
microwave sensors with possibilities of subsurface penetration, derived
elements

from

satellite

stereo

models

along

with

softcopy

photogrammetry and GPS technologies are extensively used for the


management of heritage sites world over.
In the Preparation of Master Plan for Hampi, remote sensing
and GIS techniques have been effectively used to arrive at a scientifically
accurate base map and many other thematic maps to aid in planning and
decision making. Different satellite sensor data with varied spatial
resolutions have been used to extract the baseline and other natural
resource information required in the preparation of the Master Plan. The
same has been integrated into GIS environment for easy visualization,
query and analysis.
In preparing base maps at 1:10,000 scale or better, there is a need
for high-resolution satellite data, which has been successfully utilized
under the project. For the Master plan, Stereo data of CARTOSAT -1
satellite (Band A and Band F) with spatial resolution of 2.5 mtrs of March
2006 was used. The entire study area of Hampi was covered in two stereo
pairs of CARTOSAT-1. These data sets have been accurately Geo-

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

referenced using GPS based ground reference system and mosaiced to


generate a single image of the entire study area.
Geo-referencing of high-resolution satellite data requires accurate
Ground Control Points (GCPs) to establish strong relationship with ground
coordinate system and for final product generation. To meet this
requirement, a Differential GPS (DGPS) survey was conducted and
accurate GPS readings from 26 points were collected as a part of this
project that were well spread out across the study area. Using these
DGPS points and photogrammetric data processing techniques, a Digital
Elevation Model (DEM) was extracted and a Geo-referenced ortho image
was created. The ortho image is projected on UTM projection with WGS84
spheroid. The output image was fused with multi-spectral data of IRS 1D
and a hybrid value-added-image at a high-resolution was generated. This
image has been suitably enhanced using image enhancement techniques
and a final satellite data product has been generated for interpretation.
Using the various image interpretation techniques such as size,
shape, texture, association, etc., the output image was interpreted
extracting information on various features and themes as required under
the project. Some of the important resources information extracted as
GIS layers includes the land use/land cover, canal network, transport
network, settlement, and important monuments. Proper codification of
the attributes was done for various features. The GIS layers were
generated in Shape file format which can be easily converted into
AUTOCAD compatible format for making the final base map prints.
Satellite Images used are shown in the Table - 10 below

In addition to the resource information extraction, the satellite


Ortho image has been used for Geo-referencing of the 29 village cadastral
maps, falling in the Hospet taluk of Bellary district and the Gangavathy
Taluk of Koppal District. Each of the village cadastral map was digitized
and Geo-referenced with respect to the Ortho image. The cadastral
survey numbers and the village names were included as attributes. Using
various

GIS

analysis

techniques,

final

Geo-referenced

mosaiced

cadastral map of the entire study area was generated. This has also been
provided in Shape file format for easy integration with the resources
information.
Highlights of the Satellite derived Master Plan:
i. The Master Plan of Hampi is generated using RS & GIS techniques and
hence is available in a digital form.
ii. The resources information depicted in the Master Plan can be
periodically updated using latest remote sensing data.
iii. The GIS database of the resources information generated in the Master
Plan forms the base for integrating any other socio economic data,
field survey data and so on.

iv. Monitoring mechanism of the various schemes taken up in the study


area as well as awarding of various developmental projects could be
handled and made transparent with the digital version of Master Plan.

2. Villages
Extensive survey work was conducted for four core zone villages
that is for Hampi, Kaddiramapura, Anegundi and Kamalapura. Total
station equipments were used to conduct the survey work to gather the
relevant information which is necessary to prepare base map as well as
existing land use map. Later, the total station surveyed data was put into
autocad format and accordingly land use maps are prepared for these
four villages.

The existing land use of Hampi Village is exclusively Archaeological and
has famous Virupaksha temple, a bazaar and many historical and
Archaeological monuments.

The socio-economic transformations have

been radically changing and the village is acting as a Reception center


to visitors. The village suffers from rapid uncontrolled developments
especially the Virupaksha Bazaar. Details of existing land use analysis

The village is basically commercially predominant and mainly includes


shops, restaurants/hotels, guest houses, internet shops and other uses.
The area under commercial use is 1.43 Ha which accounts for 8.81% of
the total developed area which is very high. The area under residential
development is 2.59 Ha which is 15.95% of the total developed area. The
village has been under the process of social transformation, which is
mainly shifting its activities towards commercial. The village is basically
predominant with monuments under which is 3.56 Ha which is 21.92% of
the total developed area.

The main monuments include Virupaksha

temple, bazaar, and other monuments including mantapas.

The area

under traffic and transportation is 4.30 Ha (26.50%) which is very less


compared with other settlements. It is also observed lot of vacant land of

5. PROPOSED LAND USE - 2021


The proposed land use analysis of the village reveals that the village
is developed in 16.24 Ha and proposed to have 40.43 Ha of conurbation
area.

The existing village is adjacent to the historic Virupaksha temple

and these developments affect the temple and other Archaeological


monuments. Due to geographical and archaeological limitations, it is
proposed to have natural expansion of the Hampi village at Prakash Nagar
for residential use only. The monuments in and around Hampi especially
in Ratnakuta and Hemakuta hills will have to be preserved as an
significant testimony of the last civilization.

To protect the inherent

characteristics of Hampi village it is proposed to have no development


areas in the form of open spaces and this includes river buffer, hillocks
etc. The area under this use is 13.01 Ha which is 32.18% of the total
proposed area.

The area under commercial use includes only temple

related activities which will be decided by the concerned archaeological


department and the area under this use is 0.77 Ha (1.90%), and the area
under transportation is 9.16 Ha (22.66%). The area in front of the
Panchayat is proposed for Parking node and Mobile trading zone. Details

KADDIRAMPURA

PART A

8.c KADDIRAMPURA
1. INTRODUCTION
Kaddirampura is a rehabilitated village, with a population of
1280 as per 2001 census is 70 Km from district head quarters i.e.
Bellary & is at a distance of 8 km from Hospet City. The village is
situated along Hospet-Hampi road & is well connected by road to
Kamalalpura and Hampi. Kaddirampura is just 3 km away & very
close to Hampi.
The extent of revenue village is about 304.15 hectares. The
village may be divided into 2 divisions one, Northern part comprises
of old village & two, southern part comprises of recent residential
developments i.e., GOK sponsored Ashraya Schemes. These recent
developments are in Malapanagudi revenue village limits but it is
very adjacent to the existing Kaddirampura village which is
surrounded by lush green fields, predominantly of paddy, sugar
cane, banana grooves & vast track of fertile land which provide
enduring natural settings in the area.
Kaddirampura which lies on the road leading from Hampi to
Hospet is home to a recently renovated temple dedicated to god
Murugan, son of Shiva decorated with brightly painted plaster
sculptures.
Of Historical and archaeological interest are two Mohammedan
tombs that stand beside the road on the other side of the village
(Southern end) towards Hospet. Tomb is typical of 14th 15th
century

Bahamani

architecture,

suggesting

contacts

between

Vijayanagar & the sultanate kingdom at that time. There are some
mantapas & ruined temples in the agriculture fields & at old
gramthana which are also of archaeological importance.
2. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
According to Bukkarayas epigraphy of 1366 AD, Kaddirampura
was called as Rampura where as 1505 AD epigraphy it was called

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

42

PART A

Kaderampura. This name has got modified over a period of time to


Kadeerampura & then to Kaddirampura. As far as local say goes
during Vijayanagar regime they used to prepare swords (Khadga) in
this

village.

Hence

Khadgrampura

later

it

got

modified

to

Kaddirampura.
3. TOPOGRAPHY
Kaddirampura has got good fertile land in the proximity of the
village. Agriculture is the main occupation of the villagers &
agriculture products like paddy, sugarcane, Banana are grown in
abundance which will be supplied to Kamalapura, Hospet & other
nearby town & cities. Terrain of the area is predominantly plain with
lush green fields, which has been fed by excellent network of canal
system. Cattles rearing is also one of the major household activities
in the village. Since sugarcane is grown in abundance there are 4-5
cane crushers in & around the village which functions seasonally.
Because of the above mentioned facts village has got a very good
economic base dominated by agriculture & its allied activities. Along
Hospet - Hampi road there are some shops which cater to the day
to day needs of the villagers. For all other commercial purposes
villagers are depending on the nearby town Kamalapura. Every
Monday is the shandy day at Kamalapura town. Since Agriculture is
the main occupation some farm houses have come up in the
agriculture fields recently.

ii. Water supply


There are 2 open wells, 3 hand pumps, 1 O.H.T. & 3 Cisterns
in the village which forms the main source of drinking water to
the population. As a part of distribution system it has got 09
public taps at various locations which satisfactorily caters to the
need of drinking water to the villagers.
iii. Sanitation
Village has got one public toilet along Kamalapura road which
is in a shabby condition with no proper maintenance. Garbage is
being dumped in front of this block creating unhygienic situation
around it. So it has to be put to better use & care has to be
taken to keep the surroundings of the toilet block clean by gram
panchayat Hampi.
Toilet facilities is very poor in the village, people are making
use of open spaces for the toilet purpose. Some more toilet
blocks are to be provided for the community at various locations
in the villages.
Garbage is being dumped along the Hospet Hampi road and
with in the village at various locations. Suitable site has to be
identified to dispose off this solid waste generated in the village
in a scientific manner.
iv. Health
No health facilities in available in the village but villagers do
feel that they must be provided with basic Health facilities like
P.H.C in the village.
v. Library
As on today no library is functioning in the village. But people
do feel that Government must take initiative to provide them
library which will improve literacy rate & also helps people to get
connected to other part of the state & country.

6. EXISTING LAND USE - 2006


Major portion of the land in the existing village is being made use
for residential purpose and the Panchayat has allotted sites to the
poor under Ashraya scheme at the south west part of the village.
There are some commercial establishments spread along the Hospet
Hampi road. One can find schools, sub post office, bus stand
along the main road. Temples of god Hanuman, Mari swamy mutt, a
village deity Durgamma are some of religious places in the village.
To the west of Murugan temple open space is available which is
being made use for Hampi Utsav observed 3rd to 5th of November
every year.
In the recently developed Ashraya colony most of them are
hutments. Some of the Hutments are being demolished to construct
new buildings by adopting latest construction techniques. This trend
is found more around the ASI monument (Mohammedan Tomb).
The village is developed in 12.43 Ha of land with gross density
of 108 persons per Ha. The area under residential use is 6.04 Ha
which is 48.54% of the total developed area. Details of existing land
use analysis 2006 is given in the Table 13 below.

For the natural expansion/growth of the village sufficient open
plots are available in the existing village. Land is available at the
south west part of the village adjacent to existing Ashraya colony
which is suitable for settlement or for any rehabilitation proposals.
The village is developing linearly. It is expected that the excess and
future population due to restrictions on Hampi village will have to be
accommodated in Kaddiramapura. Taking into account of such
possibility the total area to accommodate the future population of
the village by 2021, the conurbation area of 23.24 Ha is identified
and planned at the rate of 120 persons per Ha. The future
expansion areas are mostly identified to the west of village. The

ANEGUNDI

PART A

8.d ANEGUNDI
1. HISTORY
The village of Anegundi and Tungabhadra river falls within the core
zone of Hampi world heritage site. Anegundi history dates back to PreVijayanagara and to the time of Ashoka in the 3rd century B.C. Even after
the collapse of the empire in 1565 AD, it continued to be the seat of the
Devaraya Dynasty. When Vijayanagara was founded in the mid- 14th
century by the Sangama brothers, Harihara and Bukka, Anegundi was
already well established as the cradle city from where they actually ruled
then later shifted the capital to Hampi.
2. ABOUT THE VILLAGE
The main focus of the town is a square onto which faces the
Ranganatha temple (dedicated to Anantashayana). On the opposite side
of the square is the Gagan Mahal, built in a typical late Vijayanagara
courtly

style

with

arched

windows

and

Pyramidal

towers,

now

accommodates local Panchayat office. A fourteenth century gateway


marks the northern exit of the town. Another interesting early structure is
the Jain temple facing on to the main street running south from the
square. A complex of shrines known as Chintamani Mutt is built up to the
boulders to the south east of Anegundi. Yet other structures stand within
fortified citadel including gateways, barracks, step wells and royal
memorials, all dating to the pre-Vijayanagara period.

7. PROPOSED LAND USE 2021


The projected population of Kamalapur town is 30,000 by 2021 and
to accommodate this future population nearly 671.18 Ha of land required
at the rate of 64 persons per Ha of gross density. The identification of
land for future development is done in consultation with Archeological
Survey of India, State Department of Archaeology and UNESCO. The area
towards Kannada University on Bellary road and to the north of the town
has been identified as areas for future expansion.
The Hampi Kannada University area (192.00 Ha) is not taken into
account for the purpose of density. This is comparatively more and would
exaggerate the entire land use analysis. Since the area is basically
archaeologically

significant

area,

care

has

been

taken

to

freeze

developments around historical monuments. It is because of this reason


the parks and open space is considerably high and it accounts for about
9.45 % of the conurbation area. The proposed area under residential land
use is 120.53 Ha which is 19.17 % of the conurbation area and the major
future residential areas are proposed near Kannada University, north of
the town and vacant lands within the developed area. The area under
commercial use is 12.48 Ha which is 1.98 % of the conurbation area and
the major commercial developments are encouraged away from the
World Heritage Site and along the main roads of the old town and some
new commercial proposals are also proposed along Bellary road. The area
proposed under transportation and communication is 115.55 Ha (18.37
%) and includes road widening, proposed diversion of state highway,
main Bus Terminal on Bellary road and mini parking node at the entrance
of the World Heritage Site. Details of the proposed land use analysis
2021 is given in the Table- 17 below.

PLAN PROPOSALS AND


DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

PART A

Chapter 9
PLAN PROPOSALS AND DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS
SECTOR PLANS
a. Transportation
1. Linkage between the southern and northern parts of the
World Heritage Site (WHS)
The only physical link bridging the southern and northern parts of
the WHS are the two bridges, (one at T.B. Dam and another at
Kampli), which are located at 12 kms equidistant from Kamalapura on
two opposite directions. There used to be one historic bridge which is
now in ruinous state and beyond repairs at Hampi. In this context the
state government decided to build a cable stayed bridge at the
southern gate of Anegundi, whose construction started in 1998 and
stopped in 1999. After finding out that the large cable bridge
(unfinished) is not a good solution as it negatively impacts the
landscape and can trigger a chain of unwanted developments on both
sides of the river, it was concluded to find a permanent solution at the
down stream from the present location.

View of the cable bridge during the floods

Traditional mode of transport

The traditional mode of transport across the river by using a


bamboo coracle (Harigolu) shall be continued. A section of the
community i.e. the Boatmen, craftsmen to build the boats are
dependent on the traditional mode of transportation.

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

58

PART A

2. Diversion of state highway


The southern side of the LPA has a good transportation system as a
state highway passes through the site. However there is also a
negative

impact

due

to

state

highway

passing

through

the

archaeological area. It is proposed to divert the highway from the


south of Kamalapura settlement by by-passing the archaeological area.
3. Visitor movement
i. Circulation system:
Vehicular movement in the archaeological area is causing
damage to the monuments and archaeological remains. It is
proposed to regulate the movement of vehicles in the core zone
through a circulation system with the following components
Types of Nodes
Interchange Node: A point where visitors leave their vehicles and
change into different mode of transport.
Stoppage Node:

A point where visitors will stop for viewing a


monument

Destination point: A point where visitors go for a specific activity


such as pilgrimage or recreation

Eco friendly mode of transport

Parking and Mobile trading zone at Hampi

b. Community facilities
A detailed plan for developing infrastructure shall be taken up. The
following are the sectors.

MASTER PLAN HAMPI LOCAL PLANNING AREA

59

PART A

1. Social Infrastructure
i. Education
Up-gradation and improvement of existing education facilities to the
required standards shall be taken up. Infrastructure for education
need to be developed in the land designated for public and semi
public use in the development plans of the respective villages.
ii. Health
The basic health facilities in the LPA have to be provided. The health
facilities for the visitors in case of any emergency have to be
provided at key locations in the visitor movement areas. For local
population infrastructure for health need to be developed in the land
designated for public and semi public use in the development plans
of the respective villages.
2. Physical Infrastructure
i. Water supply
An integrated water supply scheme for all the villages has to be
developed to serve the settlements of the LPA
ii. Sanitation
As of now there is no underground drainage system in the LPA.
An underground drainage system for Kamalapura Town, which is
the only Urban area within the Local Planning Area, to be planned,
designed and implemented in a phased manner.
For rest of the LPA villages a system needs to be developed for the
disposal of sanitation waste in eco friendly manner.
iii. Solid Waste Management
A plan has to be prepared for the management of solid waste
disposal. A Land filling site is already been identified in the outskirts
of Kamalapura town i.e. Sy no 683 part to an extent of 4.0 acres
which is earmarked in the proposal map.

g. PROPOSED LAND UTILIZATION2021 FOR L.P.A


As per 2001 census the Local Planning Area has population of about
60,000 and the projected population will be 90,000 by 2021. The
proposed land use for the entire Local Planning Area has been worked out
on basis of future population and other requirements. While working out
the proposals the following important characteristics and potentiality of
the site have been considered.
i. Outstanding natural landscape and Archaeological remains.
ii. Archaeologically and environmentally highly sensitive areas.
iii. Conservation and protection of both monuments and natural areas.
iv. Historic urban fabric
v. Growth of settlements and development options.
vi. Sub-terrain Archaeology.
vii. Tourism potentials and requirements.
viii. Traffic and transportation needs.
The proposed land use analysis has been worked out for different
uses. It is decided to protect and conserve the natural beauty of the area
i.e., rocky hillocks, forests and water bodies.

The area under Monuments

is also maintained at 172.61 Ha. Some of the barren agricultural lands


adjacent to the settlements have been identified for future development
requirements.

It is estimated that by 2021 the Local Planning Area

requires nearly 440.37 Ha of land for the future development of all


settlements. This land includes land reserved for main Terminal, parking
nodes and 92.31 Ha of Tourism Hub in sy.no.1080 of Kamalapura by
State Tourism Department. The areas under forest and water bodies and
river have been maintained as it is. Details of proposed Land utilization
2021 for LPA is given in the Table 18 below.

1. INTRODUCTION
In order to conserve the cultural heritage and the natural environs
of the Hampi world heritage area and to promote public health, safety and
the general social welfare of the community, it is necessary to apply
planned management and reasonable limitation on the development of
land and buildings. This is to ensure that most appropriate, economical
and healthy development of the local planning area takes place in
accordance with the land use plan, and its continued maintenance over
the years.

For this purpose, the town is divided in to a number of use

zones, such as residential, commercial, industrial, public and semi public


etc.

Each zone has its own regulations, as the same set of regulations

cannot be applied to the entire area.


Zonal

Regulations

provides

for

protection

of

archaeological

monuments and the area surrounding it, heritage buildings/ precincts and
residential areas from the harmful invasions of commercial and industrial
uses and at the same time promotes the orderly development of other
areas, by suitable regulations on spacing of buildings to provide adequate
light, air, protection from fire, etc. It prevents over crowding in buildings
and on land to ensure adequate facilities and services.
Zoning is not retrospective.

It does not prohibit the uses of land

and buildings that are lawfully established prior to the coming into effect
of these Zonal Regulations.

If these uses are contrary to the newly

proposed uses, they are termed non-conforming uses and are gradually
eliminated over years without inflicting unreasonable hardship upon the
property owner.
The Zonal Regulations and its enforcement ensure proper land use
and development and

form an integral part of the Master Plan. It also

ensures solutions to problems of development under local conditions.

8. SUB-DIVISION REGULATIONS
The purpose of these regulations is to guide the development of
new areas in accordance with the land use plan. As long as this is done on
sound planning principles with adequate space standards, the future of
the planning area is assured.

This will not necessitate costly corrective

measures, which would become necessary, if sub-standard growth is


allowed to take place.

These sub-division regulations are confined to

standards of size of plots, street widths and community facilities.


In sanctioning the sub-division of a plot under section 17 of the
Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961, the Planning Authority
shall among other things see that the following planning standards are
followed for sub-division of plot.
SIZE OF PLOTS:
No building plot resulting from a sub-division after these regulations
come into force is smaller in size than 54 sq mtrs in residential zone. In
specific cases of sites for housing schemes for economically weaker
sections, low income groups, slum clearance and Ashraya housing, the
authority may relax the above condition.
