Economic Aspects
Residents deviating from agriculture to more commercial and service related activities.
Rent agricultural land to outsiders due to lack of workers.
Inappropriate urbanization in agricultural land.
Open Spaces
The open spaces and dabalis have lost their traditional values and importance.
Environmental Aspects
There is no municipal collection of waste.
The inorganic waste are burned or buried in the ground.
Waste are being accumulated in public places like bus park or alongside roads thus
degrading the beauty of settlement.
Institutional Aspects
People prefer to go to Chabahil, Bouddha rather than to use the facilities available in
Sankhu due to poor services.
No clubs working for the conservation and preservation of intangible heritages.
Lack of sufficient guest houses to cater large tourist population.
117. 2/27/2018 B.Arch V/I | Conservation Studio 117
The concept of Heritage Walk can be introduced as there are number of heritages
alongside the road.
Great potential to attract nature loving tourists.( hiking trails).
Industries like knitting sweaters and traditional âsukulâ making can be revived and
promoted.
