2. Bio aesHthetic Planning • Conscious plan of the Flora (Plants) and Fauna (Animals) with the objective of beautifying the country. • It includes the planting of ornamental flowering trees along the city roads, in parks, public places, and compound & houses both in towns & villages. It also includes the development of 'nature parks' for the preservation of beautiful non-carnivorous animals & the creation of bird sanctuaries. • The term bioaesthetic planning is coined by Poff . Lanceolate Hogbean . • M. S. Randhawa was the flag bearer of Bio- aesthetic planning ( created garden city of Chandigarh ) along with Le Corbusier. • The objective of a bioaesthetic planning for India is the encouragement of planting of selected ornamental flowering trees in our towns & villages. M. S. Randhawa

3. Principles • Ecotourism is about uniting conservation, communities, and sustainable travel. • Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect. • Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts. • Provide direct financial benefits for conservation. • Provide financial benefits and empowerment for local people. • Raise sensitivity to host countries' political, environmental, and social climate. • Support international human rights and labour agreements Rock garden chandigarh

4. Places suitable for Bio aeshthetic Planning • Industrial areas. Highway, • Banks of rivers and canals , • Public Schools,Religious places ,Railway stations ,Around water bodies Bus stands , • Air Ports• Modern buildings Historical buildings Govt . offices . Hospitals , Educational institute Courts , bungalows , Commercial buildings Banks and Post offices

5. Benefits of Bio-aesthetic Planning • Bio-aesthetic planning not only beautifies the environment but also makes it more livable and ecologically stable . • It improves microclimate, mitigates pollution, helps in noise abatement , • Creates habitat for many animal species, adds variety of form, colour and texture to the environment and Brings about positive changes in human behavior Ecological benefits : • Biodiversity maintains ecological balance and continues evolutionary processes . • The indirect ecosystem services provided through biodiversity are photosynthesis, pollination, transpiration, chemical cycling, nutrient cycling, soil maintenance, climate regulation, air, water system management, waste treatment and pest control.

6. Temperature and energy use : Plants can be successfully used to mitigate heat. Their leaves intercept, reflect, absorb and transmit solar radiations . Trees are called nature's air conditioners because they lower air temperature, shade buildings in the summer and block winter winds . • Thus, trees can reduce building energy use and cooling costs A single large tree can produce the cooling effect of 10 room size air conditioners operating 24 hours/day. Wind protection and air movement : • Trees perpendicular to wind direction may reduce the wind speed up to distance of 2-5 times the height of the tallest tree on windward side and 30- 40 times on the leeward side . • Trees can be planted to funnel or baffle wind away from areas both vertical and horizontal concentration of foliage can modify air movement patterns.

7. Noise abatement : • A noise level above 80 decibels creates tension and increase in blood pressure . • Urban residential areas can be protected by a row of dense shrubs backed by row of tall trees, total 20 feet wide .• Plants having thick and fleshy leaves with petioles, which allow the higher degree of flexibility and vibration are best suited for use as noise screens .
