Houses play an important role in the life of human beings. People generally consider it as a symbol of status and often during planning of the building more considerations are given for form of the building rather than its function. In order to assess all these various aspects of housing scenario representative survey i.e., household survey, economic survey and builders survey were carried out in selected rural and urban area in Thrissur district. The version of the house owners, who have used the house for sufficient period were analyzed in detail. The main recommendations of the building is planning should done in a most realistic since giving due focus on functionals requirements of such house owners are, double storied buildings with flat top are advantageous especially in urban area where land is restricted. Environmental planning of house and the surroundings is important since it provides a healthy environment in the housing premises. Trees should be planted in the premises of houses to make the housing surroundings healthy. Bath rooms should be separated as wet and dry area as it will be safe. Water sources should be maintained properly. To the extent possible bio gas production to be encouraged. Engineering and traditional planning principles to be strictly observed. Based on the economic survey the people were divided in to six categories and the possible outlay on housing by each group is assessed on the basis that on an average five-year family income can be spent for building a house. From this we were able to find the corresponding affordable area of the houses as 60sqmeter, 120sqmeter, 180sqmeter, 225sqmeter, 300sqmeter, 400sqmeter and the rate per square meter as Rs.1500, Rs.1500, Rs.1650, Rs.2000, Rs.2000, Rs.2300, respectively.

The rapid growth of textile industries is affecting the environment in several ways the most essential consideration is to be made on controlling the water pollution caused by dyeing industry effluent. The increase in usage of cloths increases the effluent from dyeing industries which in turn affecting the environment. This paper focuses on the characteristics analysis of effluent from a dyeing industry. The effluent from dyeing industry is investigated and various parameters such as pH value, BOD, COD, Total solid, Total suspended solid, Chloride, Sulphates, Dissolved Oxygen of the procedures are analyzed and with permissible limit prescribed by Bureau of Indian Standards (IS 2296 Surface Water Quality Standards).

This paper presents the utilizing the non-degradable waste such as construction and demolition wastes and plastic waste. Utilization of these wastes reduces the land required for dumping these wastes. As the earth-based clay material resulted in resource depletion and environmental degradation, so we are making rehash brick which can be replaced for earth clay bricks. Another main objective is to reduce the air pollution caused due to processing of toxic material. The methodology of this project is to use construction and demolition waste as fine aggregate by grinding and sieving the material. Plastic waste is shredded and dissolved by using a solvent. For binding of materials lime, cement and an admixture are used. The mortar is casted in a brick mould and kept for curing for a certain period. The required tests are done for the bricks and it is open to market. The outcome of the project is to reduce the land, air, water pollution and to produce an eco-friendly brick. This brick is cost efficient and can be used for various applications such as in filled wall panels, partition walls and compound walls. Acoustics and waterproof properties are also inculcated into this brick. As a whole this brick acts as a thermal insulator and a replacement for earth clay bricks.
