| Abstract | The eastern fringe of Dhaka is undergoing transformation from rural
to urban land use and the potential for its continuing urban development
has been identified in various reports and studies. But the responsible
government agencies are constructing very little infrastructure in the
eastern fringe and the the area is characterized by spontaneous development which results haphazard and unplanned l and conversion. The land
pooling technique has proved to be successful in Japan, Korea and Taiwan
as a technique for achieving timely servicing and subdivision of urban
fringe land to a good standard at no cost to the government as the costs
are recovered out of the related land value increase. The present study
therefore aims to demonstrate by designing a case study land pooling
project that land pooling could be adopted in Dhaka to improve the development of urban fringe areas.
A draft l and pooling scheme was prepared for 10 ha. of l and which
comprised 81 land parcels with 72 landowners. This scheme included the
subdivision layout plan together with the network infrastructure plans,
cost estimates, financial plan, schedule of the landowners, their land
and its value , plot reallocation plan, and an implementation schedule.
The proposed land pooling project would be implemented in 18 months. The
landowners would have to give up 21.94 percent of their land for the road
network, open space, mosque , school and community centre and 11.21 percent
of their land for sale to recover the project cost. The landowners would
get 66.85 percent of their original area as serviced plots with a net land
value gain of 112 percent of the original land value.
Due to the incomplete information on the landowners , only 40 of the
72 landowners were surveyed, but 35 of them expressed their willingness
to join the proposed pooling project. The case study land pooling scheme
and its support by the majority of the landowners surveyed shows the
benefits and the feasibility of introducing this technique as a means of
improving urban land development in Dhaka. |
