Stupa and Swastika
Historical Urban Planning Principles in Nepal's Kathmandu Valley

Mohan Pant and Shuji Funo

Kyoto University Press, Japan in association with NUS Press, Singapore, 2007.

For a brief idea on what is in this book, here is an abstract:

This book is a study of Patan city. It analyses social and physcial structure of the historic city area, and demonstrates that the city is planned from the choice of its location to the layout of its streets and settlement quarters.
Probably we all are familiar with one of the creation myth of the valley, which states that four earlier Buddhas meditated on the four mountain summits Sivapuri (north), Phulchoki (southeast), Champadevi (southwest) and Nagarjun (northwest) overlooking the valley. These are the highest peak in the mountaing range of Kathmandu Valley besides the one--Mahadev danda, at east. Further, which many of us may not be aware of, is an oral tradition on the city of Patan that holds that Patan is a city originally planned in the shape of the dharmacakra, the Buddhist wheel of law. This study makes an analysis of the physical layout of the city including the four Stupas at its periphery. The geometrical analysis of the configuration of the four stupas demonstrates that there is a factual link between the planning of Patan with the creation myth and oral tradition. The four sides connecting the stupas are oriented to four of the five summits of the mountain range that surround the Valley in a manner that resembles a clockwise swastika. Besides, the diagonal connecting the south (Lagan Stupa) and north stupa (Yampi Stupa) is oriented to Sivapuri summit. The main streets of Patan going south to north follow this orientation. We know that Swastika is a sacred symbol in Buddhism. The configuration of four stupas, therefore, represent the layout of Patan in the context of the natural and cultural geography of the Valley and have paramount symbolic value to Patan.
An important discovery made in this study of Patan is that the planning of the city uses an ancient system of measure, first known in Kautilya's Arthasastra (Kautilya or Chanakya who lived in 4th C BEC). This system of measure was first discovered in an earlier study of Thimi. This ancient measure is based on hasta system, which was common in South Asia (also in Southeast Asia) until modern times. While hasta system is a common knowledge, the complexity of this system is that the standard length measured in angulas and its multiples differs according to region, and historical periods. Scholars have suggested the correspondence of hasta to metric measures but with variations, which often remain unsubstantiated. This study gives the exact measure in metric units of the hasta and system of multiples employed in Patan, which corresponds to that mentioned in Kautilya.
This study also demonstrates links of Kathmandu Valley urban civilization with Indus Valley civilization of 5000 years back. Analyzing the Indus cities such as Mohenjodaro and Kalibangan, and cities of first millennium BCE of the region of Gandhara (present day Pakistan), the study shows exactly the same measurement system and planning modules (such as 100, 200, 300... hasta for a quarter block) employed in the division of the city quarters of these archaic cities. Even street widths of these cities with that of Patan and Thimi are found to be related.
It is also surprising that Newars, whose ancestors build Patan and other towns of the Valley continued this ancient tradition right up to 19th century.
Several Nepali historians such as Baburam Acharya and Gyanmani Nepal have suggested the migratory links between the prehistoric communities of Kathmandu Valley and the regions of Indus Valley. Sudarshan Tiwari, architect and professor, is also of this opinion. The tradition of settlement planning employed in Patan including architectural planning is the material evidence demonstrating an unbroken link between the urban civilization of the Indus and the Kathmandu Valley.
While we are forgetting the principles of past traditions, this study tells me to rever Newar ancestors, and particularly the Jyapus, the great Jyapus who planned and built Patan (you might have heard the story of Lalita-Jyapu of Lalitpur).

(secretly: the book also makes theoretical contribution on city planning !!!!! but I am not permitted to tell it, that is only a privillege of the readers ! )

Comments on the book:

MPant Ji,
Congratulation for your prestigious degree and also for the contribution on the ancient Patan of Kathmandu valley. We could learn a lot about the great city of the 19th century. Patan has may khel like Lagankhel, Jawalakhel and not to mention a khel called Nyokakhyo or Nayakhel, a place completely forgotten since the advet of 2oth century but it remains is still behind the Patan industrial state. Long time ago I and Mr. Prem Chitrakar of this area planed to make use of this historic or religious place and proposed a plan. Recently, I heard that former ministr and long time Mayor Mr. BR Bajracharya is taking interest to develope this place along with many needed places in Patan. For further see in google under Mr. Prem Chitrakar or Keshab Shrestha. This plan was also encouraged by former embassdor. Mr. Kedar B. Mathema
Congratulation and hearty thanks to Prof.Funo Shuji for his great love to Patan city.
-Keshab Shrestha

Every long journey starts from a single step. For example, being a faculty member from my host university, they selected me as a candidate to pursue a doctoral degree at Doshisha University. This was a great opportunity as well as a challenge for my academic journey toenhance my career.Doshisha University is said to be one of the highly esteemed universities in Japan. Every Faculty and Graduate School, including Graduate School of Social Studies which I am attending, has distinct features. Doshisha has maintained an exemplary academic environment to ensure quality education throughout the century. While becoming accustomed to life in Kyoto, one thing I have found, along with other experiences I have had here, is that the Japanese are pretty flexible when it comes to religion. They visit Shinto shrines for the New Year, hold funerals at Buddhist temples, celebrate Christmas and get married in Church. Kyoto is also famous for festivals and many varieties of food. The restaurants here are of truly exceptional caliber. You get a warm welcome when walking into them and the clientèle are completely respected. Eating in Kyoto is usually a casual, friendly and affordable affair.When Spring comes, Japan's famed cherry trees have captured the hearts of visitors. The Springtime blossoming of cherry trees is a time for nationwide camaraderie in Japan,where friends and colleagues hold boisterous picnics to enjoy the short lived beauty of the blossoms. Kyoto is not just a historical city but also an academic place where friendships can be formed with many international students from every corner of the globe. I found Doshisha was a well-selected place for the study of Japanese culture, among other disciplines.During my one-and-a-half year period of study at Doshisha, I have made a fair share of memories that will warm my heart forever.

IUCN rises up to document invasive alien species of flora
By Damaru Lal Bhandari

KATHMANDU, Oct 30: Come December the Nepal office of the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will embark on a study on invasive alien species (IAS) of plants. IAS are species of organisms, which have been moved to a new habitat and are known to harm the ecosystems.
The study will be conducted in selected locations of Gandaki, Koshi and Karnali river basins from December. Which means IUCN staff shall lead local environmental activists, environmental organisations and school students in identifying IAS and draw up theinventory.
"Once we have the inventory we can launch campaign aimed at raising awareness about alien species among farmers and institutions involved in conservation efforts," said Sagendra Tiwari, programme co-ordinator of IUCN-Nepal. The study shall also focus on the ways the local people have tended to receive them.
"The vital purpose, of course, is to ascertain the way the farmers and conservationists have tended to cope with them and loss incurred by them," said Tiwari, adding additional concern is to find out their adverse impact on agriculture, forestry and fishery.
The intervention from IUCN comes in the wake of claims that native species of vegetation and habitats were facing threat from scores of alien species of plants. More common to the city dweller is water hyacinth, which can be seen spreading out over abandoned ponds of the Kathmandu Valley.
But Nepal Agriculture Research Council (NARC) has advised caution before damning the species as "alien." " We must concentrate on eking out benefits from them rather then saying they don’t belong here," said Bimal Kumar Baniya, a NARC officer.
He, however, conceded that some of the species like mikania micrantha, known locally as banmara, were really aggressive but "still do not make a case for disowning them."
" We are not yet in a position to correctly judge the scenario. But the problem with certain alien species is they predominate over local species, culminating in their eventual extinction," Tiwari further said.
In fact, it was Tiwari who drew up an inventory of IAS of plants based on review of literature. There are nearly 80 species, 10 of them most pervasive.
"Foreign plants like water hyacinth casts adverse impact on fish ponds," said Dharani Man Singh, Fisheries Development Officer associated with Fisheries Development Directorate.
Singh, however, hastened on to add," We have introduced Chinese grass carp. It is a fish which feeds on water hyacinth ruling out its growth. This is the strategy we have followed to protect fish ponds."
Dr. Keshab Shrestha, Director of Natural History Museum, has appreciated the efforts coming from IUCN on the issue of alien invasive species of plants.
"Of course, they are doing a good job. But still what we can say is the study is restricted to enumerating the species rather than eradicating them," he said. He also stressed the need to popularise indigenous species of flowering and decorative plants.
As Tiwari said, " We have decided to exercise restraint before damning them. We are conducting a study, which will be followed by recommendation."
However, species which fall under Sino-Japanese, South East Asian, Indian, African-Asian desert, Irano-Turranean and Central Asiatic region are not considered as alien to Nepal.

"Floodplain Analysis and Risk Assessment of Lakhandei River"
The Lakhandei river basin is located in Sarlahi district of Central Development Region of Nepal. This river, originates in the eastern Siwalik Hills, is one of the most flood prone rivers in the country because of flash flood during monsoon rainfall. The huge loss of life and damage to properties during floods in 1993, 1995 and 1997 necessitate for the flood plain analysis and risk assessment of this river.
Floodplain analysis and risk assessment involves the study of complex interaction of hydraulics of the river flow with topographical and land use features of the floodplains. This study will use the one-dimensional numerical model HEC-RAS, ArcView GIS and HEC-GeoRAS extension for ArcView GIS will be used as an interface between the two systems for the pre-processing and post-processing of the data. Spatial analysis functionality of the GIS will be used for risk assessment. The attempt will also be made for floodplain analysis by using two-dimensional flow model FESWMS-2DH for comparative study.
The methodology for flood risk assessment will follow the approach developed by Gilard (1996). For the visualization of the results, maps are also prepared for different return periods. This will serve as an effective and efficient decision making tool which will help administrators and planners to identify areas of risk and prioritize their mitigation/response efforts, and it will also help to general public be aware of the flood risk and prepare for mitigation activities.

ABSTRACT
Protein side-chain packing has an important application in homology modeling, protein structure prediction, protein design, protein docking problems and many more.Protein side-chain packing problem is computationally known to be NP-hard (Akutsu, 1997) (Chazelle, Kingsford & Singh, 2003) (Pierce & Winfree, 2002). In the field of computer science, the notion of reduction of a problem to other problems is quite often used to design algorithms and to prove the complexity of a certain problem. In this work, we have used this notion of reduction to solve protein side-chain packing problem.We have developed a deterministic algorithm based approach to solve protein side-chain packing problem based on clique-based algorithms. For this, we reduced this problem to the maximum clique finding problem. Moreover, in order to incorporate the interaction preferences between the atoms, we have then extended this approach to maximum edge-weight clique finding problem by assigning weights based on probability discriminatory function. We have then solved this clique finding problem by using the clique finding algorithm developed by two of the authors (Tomita & Seki, 2003) and its variants (Suzuki, Tomita & Seki 2002).We have tested this approach to predict the side-chain conformations of a set of proteins and have compared the results with other existing methods. We have found considerable improvement in terms of the size of the proteins and in terms of the efficiency and accuracy of the prediction.
