Power-Interest Diagram

This unflexible traffic congestions reforms informal situation for the road passerby and localhood. And local authority is not enforcing new rules and regulations, which led to weakening the traffic governance policy. In further discussion, people are very reluctant from their experience because no maintenance being served to redevelop these road junction. Highway Authority widened the road so as to use for the footpaths and parking for private vehicles but the situation is overtaken by the informal transports- such as Autorickshaws, toto/tuk-tuk, high-speed motor bikes. As a result, users are bound to using this extra-road widening junction risking their own life, which led to sometimes accidental situations (Depicted in Figure 38 - Site Analysis map with users footprints). Subsequently, prepandemic and postpandemic stricter restriction ever failed to stop running of informal transportation, which resulted more cases in this urban context. However, step by step unlocking 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively tarnished the whole road pattern substantially. This unprecedented chaotic condition and number of private cars ascribed this road less spaced. In this dilemma, public who have been going to their workspace while social distancing and norms ever pronounced become neglected.

In this Power-Interest diagram, most of the important stakeholders have been considered to suffice this situational analysis.

1. NHAI, Barasat Municipality and Traffic police- they have the power to check with decision making approch but no/less interested due to this new COVID-19 2. Private Hospitals and Engineers- They are willing to partcipate and in higher power matix. 3. Shopkeers: They are neither inetrested nor the power 4. Local Resident, Road Users, Teachers, and Students- They are highly interested to see new planning policies but having less power to motivate
