Chennai: Pollution, traffic and Regional Transport Office services are the most unsatisfactory features of living in Chennai, according to a sample survey conducted by IIT Madras' Department of Management Studies. The survey, conducted among 127 residents, asked residents to rate seven urban services — pollution control, RTO, traffic regulation, cleanliness/sewage, auto rickshaw transport, water supply and road conditions — on a ten-point scale, with ten being the highest score. The average rating for pollution was 4.03, RTO services 4.43 and traffic 4.61; while cleanliness scored 5.06, auto rickshaw transport 5.07 and water supply 5.77. Road conditions, surprisingly, scored 6.47.
Dissatisfied residents
Residents of T. Nagar appeared to be most dissatisfied with pollution (3.33) and traffic (3.66). In comparison, residents of Adyar and Thiruvanmiyur appeared satisfied with these services. Ram Gopalan and Sanghamitra Bhattacharya of the Management Studies department conducted the study, part of an ongoing research effort to provide metrics to monitor urban living conditions in Chennai.
