Land-use map describes the existing purpose each plot of land serves and the location, distribution and total area of different land uses at the precinct level.
Floor space index (FSI) is an indicator of built density and expressed as the ratio of floor space (Built-up) to the plot area.

The tangible aspects like neighborhood characteristics, evolution and transformation, land use and built-form, street network and infrastructure are analyzed and related to intangible aspects like people�s choices and preferences. The precincts� land character, density and walkability are compared with the precinct in Bilaspur and in the fringe of the Raipur city to understand how markets foster development. The study also explores how the public realm helps in creating the identity of the city.
