Population Growth, Infrastructural Development and Exposure to Seismic Hazard: Challenges of East Sikkim
Main Article Content
Abstract
A comprehensive, analytical and numerical application of population growth, rapid building construction and associated risk is presented in the paper. East district of Sikkim (27°08?N to 27°23?N and 88°25?E to 88°45?E) constitutes 954 sq km. area and it is the most developed district in Sikkim. Unstable geostratigrphical settings along with unscientific use of heavy building materials further exaggerate risk in the fragile Eastern Himalayan landscape.
