A sample size of 184 rice farmers comprising of 116 participating and 68 non-participating rice farmers of the programme was randomly selected. Using a before and during project approach the study has determined the change in farm yield, farm size under rice cultivation and income of rice farmers. The results reveal that there is 82.25% increase in land under rice cultivation while, the change in yield per hectare is 30.58% and the average income of rice farmers has improved by 60.95% in the area. The Coefficient of determination (R2) of productivity level by Olam Out-Grower intervention is 0.812 with improved seeds and the farm hecterage as the most significant predictors of the productivity achieved by participating rice farmers. Value chain analysis of the produced rice indicates that farmers earn only 10.04% of the total value, the large processors (including Olam Out-Grower) 40.64%, intermediaries (20.64%), small scale processors (6.98%) and exporters (21.65%). ····· 1036188966

Peri-urban area is the transitional zone between an urban and its nearby rural area. Characteristically, the area is neither urban nor rural but it gradually attains urban characteristics and spatially shifts from urban to rural area. As a result, the economic setting in term of occupation, income, expenditure capacity, land use, land value, infrastructure, living facilities etc. of the dwellers of this area changes rapidly. And this changing process becomes influenced by a number of factors like location, distance from urban center, road network, transportation system, marketing network, employment opportunities, governmental policies and planning and so on. Though, the urban areas have development plan but due to week implementation of plan a haphazard urban growth can be found that reduces the actual competency of the area. So, it is necessary to implement the existing development plan and initiate integrated rural-urban development plan for better, planed and furnished urban development in Bangladesh. ····· 1036188744

Some of the objectives of the Book included to identify and describe the major farming practices in the study area examine the relationship between vegetation changes and farming practices and to perform vegetation change detection and analyse the spatio-temporal change of the vegetation in the study area. Information on farming activities and vegetation change was obtained through personal interviews questionnaire onsite assessment and the acquisition of remotely sensed data of 1986 and 2007 covering the study area to perform change detection. The data was coded, extracted and analysed using frequencies and simple percentages while Ilwis Academic 3.2a was used to analyse land-cover change from the satellite images. The change detection and analysis done revealed that, vegetation covered 72% of the study area in 1986 but has changed to 59% in 2007. This gives a loss or change of 13% to other land-cover types due to farming practices. ····· 1036188591

Pirate radio, it is argued, provides an influential talent incubator and socialising space for various urban communities, while at the same time serves as a vehicle through which they can make themselves be heard. The research explores the context of urban and cultural geography, utilising the recent strain of music geographies and selected works of Henri Lefebvre and Michel de Certeau, as well as contemporary works inspired by Lefebvre and de Certeau. Putting pirate radio into a geographic perspective involves analysing how the urban space is tactically and temporarily appropriated, embodied and produced. With a phenomenological perspective, the book provides a snapshot of the mental, social and physical relationships between pirate radio and the production of urban space. Just 4 U London includes interviews with Benga, Crazy D, Heny.G, Mala, Martin Clark (aka Blackdown), Mary Anne Hobbs, the Ragga Twins, Riko, Skream, Steve Goodman (aka Kode9), Uncle Dugs, and more. ····· 1036188548

These are the traditional and contemporary approaches which have emerged under the umbrella of Dualism and Post-Fordism, respectively. Briefly, Post-Fordists point to the replacement of traditional subcontracting relationships by collaborative partnership relations and draw attention to the role of physical proximity in contemporary SCRs. In contrast, dualists contend that extensive collaboration in supply chains and the spatial outcomes of this debate are exaggerated. These different views highlight the fact that we do not fully know about the structure of SCRs. In this context the Turkish automotive industry provides a very good laboratory to examine SCRs as recently there has been a great deal of activity in this sector in terms of interfirm relations. Accordingly, this book investigates the organisational and spatial structure of SCRs in this sector by focusing on two European automotive manufacturer s local sourcing activities in Turkey. ····· 1036188366

This study is aimed at quantifying the actual rates of bank erosion along the river based on time series analysis of satellite images and historical maps.One of the main problem of the braided Brahmaputra-Jamuna River in Bangladesh is bank erosion, in places leading to hundreds of meters of bank retreat annually. Analysis of the Landsat images shows that, over the whole river, riverine islands most often persist from 1 to 7 years, but 30% have lasted for 14 years or more. Accretion has taken place in the middle and lower reaches north of the east bank and in the extreme north of the west bank between 1973 and 2010. Bangladesh is likely to be among the countries that are the worst affected by climate change. The Government of Bangladesh is acutely conscious of this, and has in fact been preparing to face this challenge for several years now.

There is however scanty information on whether the adopted technologies, under the existing cropping systems are efficient in controlling erosion and improving crop production.
