2. Each of the above sets shall be downsampled into a list of survey parameters, which shall be collected through surveys of representative sample. Usually, in case pre-sampling (the practice of collecting data from one or two analogous samples in different geographical locations), does not show great difference, a sample size of 5% to 8% is considered adequate.
3. The survey formats for city poverty profiles shall be as per the format developed at the Yeshwantrao Chavan Academy of Development Administration, Pune, and the all All India Institute of Local Self Government, Mumbai, with assistance from a UNDP assisted project 'National Strategy for the Urban Poor' during 2006-07 with required modifications by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh.

(b) Moderate : Settlement pockets needing immediate attention in between 30% and 50% of the parameters mentioned in SI. No. 1 (b) above, based on scores obtained (the score in between 30% and 50% of the parameters falls below the qualifying score).
( c) Law: Settlement pockets needing immediate attention in less than 30% of the parameters mentioned in SI. No. 1 (b), based on scores obtained (the score in less than 30% of the parameters falls below the qualifying score).
7. The scores against citizen perception of needs and wants of inhabitants of the settlements shall be verified.
For example, a particular settlement shall be classified as critical keeping in view parameters under i through iv of SI. No. 1(b) above, but the perception survey indicating that more importance is placed on parameters vii and viii by the inhabitants of the settlement. Such exceptions and aberrations required before a poverty reduction strategy is prepared shall be adequately documented.
8. City poverty profile shall comprise of the following sections :

At the end of the exercise, a map indicating the following shall be generated.
(i) Settlements (areas) already receiveing equal or excess of the assured levels of services.
(ii) Areas which will receive desired levels of services upon completion of projects which have already been commissioned.
(iii) Areas which are receiving less than desired levels of service but no project has been envisaged for them at present.
(iv) Areas which are receiving less than desired levels of service but no project can be envisaged for them due to land ownership/regulatory issues.
(d) Underserved households (see note under SI. No. 1 (a) and under SI. No. 8(c) above, mapped as areas and not points.
(e) Results and classifications of pre-sampling, in order to define sample size and quality and to establish qualifying scores for each of the survey parameters as indicated in para 16. At this point it shall also be decided as to how to allow the perception survey weightage supersede the household survey weightage.
(f) Abstracts of surveys carried out in selected settlements commensurate with the designated sample size and quality, unweighted.
(g) Abstracts of surveys carried out in selected settlements commensurate with the designated sample size and quality, weighted and scored.
(h) Additional information from perception surveys that superseds the weighted scores from each of the underserved settlements.
(i) Listing of underserved settlements prioritized according to (i) perception survey (ii) household survey, weighted.

9. The above shall be supplemented by an urban poverty reduction strategy for the city, which would take into account.
(a) Finding from the urban poverty profile of the city.
(b) The proposed development plan of the city as a tool for facilitating poverty reduction.

Area of intervention What the poverty profile should provide Housing and land tenure Quantum and nature of land and serviced housing stock required, ability to pay and subsidy required, including stocks that need and to be created through relocation.
What the poverty reduction strategy should provide Housing projects that can/ should be taken up and in what manner of spatial distribution.
What to keep in mind while making the poverty reduction strategy Whether reconfigurative arrangements such as double or three storey units would be acceptable in order to better arrange and provide for services.
6 2 The Arunachal Pradesh Extraordinary Gazette, April 20, 2011 4 3 Basic services water, sanitation, communication and mobility.
Issues related to quantita tive and qualitative shortfall.
In case settlement Morpho logy is acceptable/workable, projects needed to augment water, sanitation, communi cation and mobility to assured standards of the State.
Basic services - Issues related to quantitahealthcare, education tive qualitative shortfall and social security.
Livelihoods and economic opportunity Social, gender and political equity Current spectrum, income generations and growth prospects of trades/occupations practiced by underserved communities Prevalent customs, traditions (historical or otherwise) that reduce the degree of advantages available to certain groups within underserved communities, such as people from any ethnic group, women, disabled etc.
Product and service concepts that need to be developed further in con sultation with stakeholders, as well as from potential service/product providers including from within the urban poor themselves.
In relation to emerging markets, what trades and occupations would be required to meet inflation brought about be general increase in Purchase Power Parity ; what skillsets would be required to pursue the same, and what facilitation Regulatory framework and amalgamation with customary (Schedule VJ) legislation that allows removal of such disadvantages/ disparities ;
This may be further reflected in products, services and schemes under basic services that may offer affirmative action (positive reservation) to disadvantaged groups in line with appropriate orders issued by the Government of India/ State Government from time to time What kind of subsidy structure it terms of capital, operations and maimtenance should be placed so as to (i) not make the services inaccessible to the household, and (ii) to prevent the household from being perpetually dependent on subsidy.
What kind of subsidy structure it terms of capital operations and main tenance should be placed so as to (i) not make the services inaccessible to the household, and (ii) to prevent the household from being perpentually depen dent on subsidy, and (iii) to make reasonable growth (profiVnet turnover increase) oriented structures beyond government establishment such as through PPP/ PPCP arrangements.
The trades and occupations may need to be seen in the overall context of the economic opportunity in the State and may therefore entail analysis of high growth emergenturban sectors (Manufacturing marketing/ IT/ITeS, Rand D, finance etc.) and assess their multipliers with respect to underserved Communities needs for IT skills, communication skills, small entrepreneur and business development skills etc.
should be offered by the State to increase such opportunity There maybe regulatory issues with respect to voting rights, ability to contest in elections and other affirmative action Jaw already in place, which need to be carefully studied before any recommendations are made to this effect.
