Dr. Suman Gulia

Abstract :

 

In the present paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the use of wall materials in rural Haryana.  Haryana state is a northern part of India. The state of Haryana has 21 districts. The total rural households are 29.66 lac.                                                                                                                                                           For the present research work, 2011 census district wise household data has been used. Census of Haryana has classified wall material used for residential houses into ten types like burnt Brick, mud / un– unt ick, grass /thatch/bamboo, stone packed with mortar, stone not packed with mortar, concrete, wood, plastic/ polythene, GI/metal and other materials in rural Haryana. The wall material used for residential houses has been calculated in percentage in proportion to total rural households of a district. Further, the study area has been divided into six oad regions.

It is recorded that the maximum wall of the houses are made of (87.69 %) burnt ick, followed by mud/un–burnt ick (4.68 %), grass/thatch/bamboo (0.69 %), stone packed with mortar (4.21 %), stone not packed with mortar (1.31 %), concrete (1.12 %), wood (0.06 %) and G.I/metal asbestos Sheets (0.03 %) in rural Haryana.

Further, it is observed that more than 90 per cent houses of the wall are made of burnt icks in eastern part and central part in rural Haryana as per 2011. On the other hand maximum mud/ un–burnt icks (7.77 %) are used in northwestern part, followed by southeastern part (7.07 %), while grass /thatch/ bamboo (1.13 %) are used in northeastern part. However, stone packed with mortar is used in southeastern (8.48 %) and southern (8.26 %) part in rural Haryana. Nearly three percent houses of the wall are made of various materials such as stone not packed with mortar (4.21 %), concrete (1.12 %), wood (0.06 %), G.I/metal asbestos sheets (0.03 %), polythene/ plastic (0.11 %) and any other materials (0.09 %) in rural Haryana. Finally, it is suggested that more attention should be given to improve the use of wall materials particularly in northwestern comprises the districts of Sirsa, Fathehabad and Hisar and southeastern comprises the districts of Gurgaon, Faridabad, Palwal and Mewat.
