4. SITE SELECTION AND ANALYSIS

            4.1. Kozhikode Land Use Map 2035

            Studying  the  proposed  land  use  map  of

            Kozhikode  for  2035  has  provided  valuable
            insights into identifying potential sites for the

            establishment  of  a  cultural  centre  like
                        Thesis Report V-SPARC VIT
            Kathamrutham in the future. By analysing the

            map,  it  becomes  evident  that  certain  areas
            designated  as  public  or  semi-public  zones,

            owned  by  government  or  local  government

            authorities,  hold  significant  potential  for
            accommodating such a facility. These zones are

            strategically located to ensure accessibility and

            visibility, making them ideal candidates for the

            proposed cultural centre.

            Moreover, by focusing on public and semi-public

            zones,  we  can  leverage  existing  infrastructure
            and  resources  to  support  the  development  of

            Kathamrutham. These zones often already have

            established transportation networks, amenities,
            and  services,  facilitating  easier  access  for

            visitors  and  enhancing  the  overall  viability  of

            the  project.  Additionally,  being  owned  by
            government  or  local  government  authorities,

            these zones offer opportunities for collaboration

            and  support  in  terms  of  regulatory  approvals,

            funding, and ongoing management.
