Is this land in a mapped slum area

Whether a plot in Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore, Tiruppur or Erode falls inside a slum boundary on the state GIS slum map, which slum area it is, and how many mapped slum areas lie within 500 m.

Free to run. Sign in once and use it as often as you need.

What we need

One thing at a time. Fill it in and press Run.

Drop a pin, paste a Google Maps link, or use your location.

No pin yet. Tap the land, paste a link, or use your location.

No credits are used.

The answer

From the register, with its date and source.

Nothing run yet. The answer appears here with everything this mini adds:

  • The parcel boundary read against the map when the survey under the pin resolves, not only the pin
  • The slum area named with its ward and zone in Chennai
  • The nearest mapped slum area and how many lie within 500 m
  • What the map is not, said plainly: it is not the notified list

How this works

What it reads, what it needs, and how to read the answer.

What it does

The state GIS portal maps slum boundaries for five municipal corporations. This mini reads the plot under a pin against that map and says whether it falls inside a mapped slum boundary, which area it is and what lies nearby.

What you give it

A pin on the map in Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore, Tiruppur or Erode.

1A pin on the map
What it adds beyond the portal
  • The parcel boundary read against the map when the survey under the pin resolves, not only the pin
  • The slum area named with its ward and zone in Chennai
  • The nearest mapped slum area and how many lie within 500 m
  • What the map is not, said plainly: it is not the notified list
What it costs
Free every run

Run it as often as you need. Nothing is deducted.

How to read the result

Inside a mapped slum boundary means the plot meets a boundary drawn on the map. No mapped slum boundary here is not a clearance, and outside the five corporations the answer is not assessed, because the map does not reach there.

Where the data comes from

The state GIS slum boundary map, published on the Tamil Nadu GIS portal. It is not the list of areas notified under the Tamil Nadu Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1971.

Questions people ask

Short answers, no jargon.

No mapped slum boundary here. Does that mean the land is not in a slum?

No. The map is not the list of areas notified under the Tamil Nadu Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1971, and an area can be notified without a boundary on it. Confirm with the Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board and the corporation.

Why does my town say not assessed?

The map covers only the Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Erode corporations. Anywhere else nothing can be said either way.

Why is there no slum name outside Chennai?

The map names Chennai slum areas with their ward and zone. The other four corporations are mapped as boundaries without names.

Why read the parcel boundary and not just the pin?

A plot can touch a slum area that its centre misses. When the survey under the pin resolves, its boundary is read; otherwise the pin is.

Is this free?

Yes.
