7.9 Urban and Rural areas Management
Since its existence, Environmental Protection Society gives equal importance to the resources management of both the rural and urban areas. It is clearly evident that the rural and urban areas of a region are interdependent and any degradation in any one of them directly affects the environment of the other. Besides the projects, for the development of urban and rural areas of Malakand Division EPS prepared a modal sketch for a 200 kanals sites on the principals of planning and zoning guidelines in the tourist area of Kalam Swat and submitted to the concerned quarters for implementation. Similarly, the Society conceived a conceptual Master Plan and Traffic Management plan for the urban areas of Malakand Division. These studies proved very fruitful for the concerned line agencies, especially the TMA and District Government Swat to carry out the planned developmental initiatives in line with these plans.
