Öljymäen asemakaavaluonnos

Abstract

Tässä insinöörityössä on käsitelty Kouvolan Öljymäen asemakaavaa. Työssä on laadittu luonnoksia uudeksi kaavaksi alueelle, jonka kaava on laadittu 1970-luvulla, mutta kaava on jäänyt toteutumatta. Työn aluksi on esitelty asemakaavoitusta prosessina ja miten asemakaavan laadinta etenee Kouvolassa.

Työtä tehdessäni laadin kolme asemakaavaluonnosta,joista yhdessä olisin muuttanut voimassa olevassa kaavassa olevan kerrostaloalueen pientaloalueeksi, mutta luonnoksen toteuttamisesta aiheutuvat kustannukset olisivat olleet liian suuret verrattuna kaupungin tonttien myynnistä saamiin tuloihin. Toisessa luonnoksessa pientaloalueen sijaan laadin asemakaavaluonnoksen, jossa oli kolme kerrostaloa. Kolmas luonnos on asemakaavojen kustannusten vertailua varten luonnosteltu esimerkki kaupungille edullisesta asuinalueesta.

Työssä on myös vertailtu nyt laadittujen asemakaavaluonnoksien toteutumisesta kaupungille aiheutuvia kustannuksia samaisesta alueesta aiemmin laadittujen kaavojen tai suunntelmien kanssa.

This final year project is aboutthe process of town planning. Projects aim was to create a sketch for town plan for a area that is now a part of Kouvola called Öljymäki. Öljymäki currently has a town plan which was made in the 1970s. Current plan has not been built because planners had used overoptimistic estimate for population growth in town of Kuusankoski.

In its current state Öljymäki is mostly forest with some paths. Plan was located in areas where nobody lives but there are some remains of houses that had been there before. So I had a fresh start. During this project three sketches were drawn. First one had fourteen small houses but it proved to be too expensive for the town due to high costs of building infrastructure and some plots had too high height differences. The second sketch had three wooden apartment buildings and it proved to be more successful. Even there would be some buildings area would still have enough nature for locals. The third sketch was about having a cost effective example for comparing building costs of town plans.

Part of the project was comparing costs of building infrastructure and how much money the town would make by selling the plots. The current plan proved to be most cost effective because it contained only apartment buildings and had most square meters to be used for buildings. Small houses proved to be most expensive due to amount of infrastructure required.

The project proves that it is important to keep infrastructures building costs low on areas where land value is low and landscape is challenging to build. This means building apartment buildings instead of small houses.
