Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment (REIA) Study for Proposed Integrated Complex for Delhi Judicial Academy, National Law School, and National Institute for Mediation & Conciliation at Dwarka, New Delhi profoundly interlinked with subsequent changes that occur within society. The transformation of environmental parameters can generate dynamic social impacts, which alter economic and cultural relations between individuals and the community, as well as between the social infrastructure and social institutions at large. In turn, these may induce long term changes in the socio-cultural and economic organisation of human communities and prevailing modes of life and activity, eventually transforming the ethical values, cultural belief-systems and social norms that define group behaviour. The social consequences of environmental change are principally manifested in three forms: Demographic impacts which relate changes in population characteristics such as settlement density, gender ratios, literacy rate, Occupational information etc., to resultant increases in the infrastructural need for housing, state healthcare, education and welfare services, as well as to alterations in the patterns of resource-use and the organisation of productive activity visible in indicators like land use transformation and the changing occupational structure. Cultural impacts, involving modification of ethno-cultural structures, their historic and archaeological artefacts and their ethno-religious connotations as the result of the development of new communities and the migration of cultures. Socio-cultural impacts, involving long term restructuring of the social organisation and its social institutions as a result of the definition of new individual and community roles within it, as well as changes in cultural beliefs and values around it. During the EIA process, spatial prediction of the limits and extent of these impacts are preceded by meticulous compilation of baseline information from existing documentary sources, and by qualitative assessment of current socio-dynamic trends from other data assembled on field. 4.10.1 Demographic Structure of the Study Area After independence, Sixth Population Census was undertaken in the entire area of NCT of Delhi from 9 th February to 28 th February 2001 with a revisional round from 1 st to 5 th March, 2001. As such, the population of Delhi as on 1st March 2001 has been worked out at 13.85 millions as against 9.42 millions as on 1st March 1991. This reflects decennial growth of 47.02% of population after 1991census. The corresponding percentage at All-India level has been worked out at 21.34%. The total population of Delhi is 1.34% of the All-India Population. The total area of NCT of Delhi is 1483 sq. km with an urban segment of 685.34 sq. km in the year 1991. Urban population grew at 51.53% from 1991-2001 as compared to 46.89% during 1981- 1991. Comparing this with rural population growth of only 1.69% during 1991-2001. The density of the population also increased to 9294 persons per sq. km (the highest in the country) in the year 2001 against 6352 persons per sq. km in 1991. 89
