Hill terrains have always posed enormous challenges for human habitation. India, being a vast subcontinent, has an extensive area of hilly terrain. Within Uttarakhand there is a geographical inequality between the hills and the plains that divides the state critically. Districts in the plains are far ahead on various development indicators. The hill region districts are less developed in terms of public health facilities, employment opportunities, infrastructure, etc. This paper is an attempt to gather information regarding the living and housing infrastructure available in the hill regions of Uttarakhand. A ramdom sample of 180 families was included in the study, from the two districts Bageshwar and Almora. It was found that in these hill districts traditional material of housing are still used that are not durable. Due to poor lighting and other infrastructure facilities, safety and efficiency at work are also of concern that needs to be addressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
