Dear Archana,

This area makes me really curious. Your drawing with the uses of men, women and children is very good, I hope you can develop this method further also for other places in this village. It shows a lot - in a planning sense - but is also well understandable for lay people.

The use map rises some questions to me: what is 'undefined' space - are they not used? Temporarily? Cows eating? Children playing? What happens in the 'common' place - is it agricultural land used by everybody? In German this would be called 'Allmende'. How is the boundary between the religious site and its surroundings defined - is it more an invisible boundary (in people's minds) or is it spatial?

Are the woodlands used by people as you say this is a reserve?

Well, this is rather a set of questions than a comment -

Best wishes, Ellen
