Human Settlements in The Park and Adjoining Areas
The National Park comprises two ranges viz: Kotamsar and Koleng range. The Kotamsar range, forming the western half on the Park is dotted with revenue villages on its boundary and there is hardly any forest area outside the Park for fuel wood, small wood, bamboo and other non-timber forest produce. So the Zone of influence (Zl) for people in this range is 10 km. The Koleng range forming the Eastern half of the Park has lesser number of villages on its boundary and is comparatively free from biotic pressure. So in the central portion Zone of influence is 10 km and on eastern boundary it is 5 km. All together there are 48 villages within 5 km radius of National Park boundary and only one Forest village (Kotamsar) is inside the National Park.

Famous quotes containing the words human, settlements, park, adjoining and/or areas:
“A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist.... This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“That those tribes [the Sac and Fox Indians] cannot exist surrounded by our settlements and in continual contact with our citizens is certain. They have neither the intelligence, the industry, the moral habits, nor the desire of improvement which are essential to any favorable change in their condition.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
“I died for Beauty—but was scarce
Adjusted in the Tomb
When One who died for Truth, was lain
In an adjoining Room—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
