It is seen as the life blood of the region,providing water to more than 20 million people livingin the area. The area is ecologically fragile withunsustainable human activities. Conflict overdiminishing resources is a common occurrence betweenpeople within the same territory and people ofdifferent nationalities. The International Court ofJustice (ICJ) ruling on the boundary dispute betweenNigeria and Cameroon in 2002 led to the ceding of 33villages to Cameroon in the Lake Chad region. APresidential Resettlement Committee was constitutedto cater for those who might choose to return toNigeria after the withdrawal of the Nigerian troops.This led to the establishment of three resettlementcentres around the Lake Chad region (fragileenvironment) and the construction of infrastructuralfacilities in the affected communities. In this work,the author examines some of the impacts that theresettlement scheme has made and is still making onthe ecological resources of the affected communitiesin the Lake Chad basin of Nigeria. ····· 10361102209

The study showed that there is lack of devolution of power in decision making to local communities and therefore the unsustainable methods of harvesting Uapaca Kirkiana. This has led to reduced rural livelihoods. The study recommends that communities should be granted genuine proprietorship of resources that is the right to use resources ,determine mode of usage, benefit fully from use,determine the distribution of such benefits and determine rules of access. Finally it is recommended that further research be undertaken in order to establish the possibility of domesticating indigenous fruit trees in local communities with the aim of enhancing rural livelihoods. ····· 10361102207
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Property is a dual good and so provides both a variety of housing services and, sometimes, investment returns. Residential property price premiums are paid for a complex bundle of relative advantages, risks and opportunities within idiosyncratic, complex and evolving metropoli. However, factors beyond the urban footprint influence urban and hence premium evolution. Housing markets respond imperfectly to policy, resource endowments and institutional politics. Privilege and prospects mutate in turbulent, resource-constrained but increasingly knowledge-driven economies. Notwithstanding the hierarchy of influences, excessive premiums signal urban stress, if not disease, in the broader planning and social debate. Although centered on Brisbane in Australia, its insights are global. This book systematically explores the factors influencing urban residential property markets. It proposes a general systems model to explain price evolution where a nested hierarchy of more or less contaminated information accentuates fundamentals of population growth and mineral or industrial capital inflows. ····· 10361102184

Sigmund Freud, B. F. Skinner, Carl Rogers, Albert Ellis, Aaron beck, John Mahoney, and many others have written extensively about how people process their thoughts and emotions. However, there has not yet appeared a fully explicated theory of metacognitive processes, especially regarding emotional disorders. Therefore this work attempts to fill that void. It provides a theory of metacognitive processes, it explains in detail the complexities of these processes, and provides a framework for how to apply the theory in clinical practice. This book is written mostly for psychologists, but can also be read by all those who are interested in psychological matters ····· 10361102112

Elspeth has identified that not all individuals cope effectively with graphical learning. Her work links instructional science, cognitive psychology, and human-computer interaction, and will be of interest to educators, electro-communications engineers, and computer science. Although there is an apparent understanding of the need to provide for individualised courseware the problem of how to bring about a more learner centred approach to instruction, remains unsolved. For over a decade now, the literature has been struggling with this issue. The electronic instructional medium is often highly graphical, in the sense that explanatory text may be limited, if not completely replaced by images (or pictorial representations). There is an implied expectation that learners are visually literate. The overarching goal of this dissertation was to investigate the contextual components for building a meta-knowledge processing model, for the acquisition of programming concepts, to fill the current void in electronic courseware design. ····· 10361102070

In particular it assesses the livelihood practices of land recipients and their effects on the natural environment. Despite acquiring natural capital from the resettlement process, the findings of this research show low levels of financial, physical and social capital amongst beneficiaries. Moreover climatic variability, the declining macro-economic and unstable political environment in the country and little support from government adversely affected the livelihoods of beneficiaries. The implication of all this has been a reduction in livelihoods that are based solely on agricultural production, leading to off-farm practices primarily exploiting the natural environment. The long term effect would be increased degradation of the environment, leading to reduced arable and grazing land, and thereby hindering sustainable livelihoods from farming. Recommendations are proposed based on this research`s findings being typical in Zimbabwe. ····· 10361101956

In this respect, to measure the power of countries many efforts have been made especially in the 60`s and 70`s. All of them have compared the countries from limited perspective. In this research a new model is presented to measure national power it is much better than previous models. Paying attention to all the aspects of national power (Economical, Social, Cultural, Political, Military, Astro-space, Territorial, Scientific and Transnational),paying attention to the usage of 87 variables, are some of the benefits of this model.

From 1990 onwards on an average 2,25,000 Bangladeshis are migrating on short-term employment. The recent trend of the bulk of the migrants is more towards semi and unskilled labour migration. Major outflow of Bangladeshi labour generated significant financial flow to the country in the form of remittance. However, due to increase in the flow of unskilled and semi- skilled labour, remittance is increasing at a much lower rate than the labour flow. Remittance is crucial for Bangladesh`s economy. It constitutes almost one-third of the foreign exchange earning. In 1998-99, remittance contributed 22 percent in financing imports. Studies have shown it has strong positive impact on GDP, and also on consumption and investment. This research assesses to identify the role of remittance in rural development. It also evaluates current uses and impacts of remittance, the characteristics of remittance sending and remittance receiving persons. The research also explores the problems and possible potentials in effective uses of remittance for rural development through investment in productive sectors. ····· 10361100654
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Households containing dependent children have been a relatively neglected topic in gentrification research thus far. Most of the previous research on new-build gentrifiers either looked at the socio-economic characteristics or the housing preferences of the incoming middle classes in redeveloped areas. The experiences and daily life activities of family gentrifiers have been underexposed topics. This study has tried to make a contribution to this knowledge gap. By performing semi-structured interviews this study has explored three subjects which tell us a lot about the experiences and daily lives of family gentrifiers: neighborhood socialization, the use of neighborhood facilities and feelings of place attachment. These interviews took place in Stadstuinen, a redeveloped neighborhood in a poor area of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The housing stock in the heart of Stadstuinen primarily consists of terraced housing. Combined with the child-friendly character of the neighborhood this has led to a large population of households with dependent children. It is therefore an excellent neighborhood to study the behaviors of family gentrifiers. ····· 1036199437

It is organised in five chapters, with the first one being a mere introductory note. The major issue of in the planning of cities is the issue of housing and its various dimensions. Harare is the capital city of Zimbabwe. Since its birth in 1890 as Salisbury, it has seen some tremendous growth. The Great Harare Region is the product of the city s expansion and forward and backward linkages between the centre and its satellites. As a capital and primate city of the country, Harare is the major hub of social, economic and political life. In the colonial city it was a rabidly divided city along racial lines with very little traces of informal living. Informal settlements were there but in the periphery: Epworth and Chirambahuyo. Chitungwiza was established as a dormitory town for the bulk of the workers in the city. When independence was attained in 1980, the city opened its doors to the majority of the black African population that were forever meant to be destined in the rural areas. Such an open door policy had its challenges. ····· 1036199146
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book on Sociological Study of City mainly focuses on the development of Urban Sociology from its pioneers to the later radical orders. The influence of industrialism in urbanization, as illustrated by early pioneers of the subject, it seems, has been a salient component in various theories that have come along since. As such each and every theory stemming from different focus points such as transitional communities, housing classes, class conflicts, space, capital, and markets are all firmly rooted in industrialism, and capitalism. However, there is much dissimilarity among the many urban theorists in their approach, owing to their respective focus points. While the Chicago School attempts to examine the structure of the urban locale, the radical theorists focus on the many struggles that originate within. Overall, this book, exploring the theories on city, is prepared with a view to provide a clear theoretical understanding of the nature and functions of city. It is hoped that the present book will provide a background and valuable insights for University Students and Scholars who are pursuing in Urban Studies, Sociology of City, Urban Policy, and Urban Planning. ····· 1036199003

This high-rise urban dwelling style has ushered in a new socio-cultural era in Dhaka. This scenario is not compatible with our traditional culture rather it ignores our social values. The focus of the study is to analyze the spatial organization of the community space of high-rise apartment buildings in relation to the high-rise community-based organizations that are responsible for managing, maintaining and keeping the social harmony through various active performances. With these assumptions, the study develops a conceptual framework based on relevant theories and concepts and aims to analyze thereby the socio-spatial context and evaluate the findings regarding the issue of social sustainability. There have been two case studies on two high-rise apartment buildings in Dhaka city. The study shows how quality community space and active social organization can maintain and promote social sustainability within high-rise apartment buildings in Dhaka city of Bangladesh. ····· 1036198627

In these changing lower class neighbourhoods, ethnic hospitality entrepreneurs are often operating their business. The cultural diversity existing in a neighbourhood can attract visitors and new residents. This thesis research focuses on the perceptions of ethnic hospitality entrepreneurs concerning their changing environment in gentrifying neighbourhoods. The study is a qualitative case study: two different neighbourhoods in Amsterdam are examined enabling room for discussion and comparison. Results show that while ethnic hospitality entrepreneurs can and are triggering gentrification processes within these two neighbourhoods, they are challenged when the same gentrification processes are accelerated and increases in rents are resulting. Paradoxical, because the gentrification triggered by cultural diversity can in this sense kill the same cultural diversity. If that really happens it will be a shame, according to the interviewees, because it is this exact supply of cultural diversity that makes the neighbourhoods so attractive in first place. ····· 1036192641
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray There is an ongoing debate among people as to whether the trial being made by the Ethiopian Government to provide housing for the poor through the program called the Integrated Housing Development Program is reaching the target, the urban poor, or not. This research tries to find out the factors that are responsible for the determination of affordability of these housing units. And, it is found out that there are some socio-economic factors that mainly determine affordability. As per the findings, internal factors like the household saving, type of occupation of the household head, availability of external source of finance, and finishing and related costs are found to be having the upper hand in determining affordability of these housing units. Though the research shows that these internal factors are stronger in determining affordability, the focus of the government is still tilted towards the external ones to make the housing units affordable to the urban poor. And, it is strongly recommended that both measures need to be effectively combined to make the housing units affordable to the target groups. ····· 1036192314

Esta realidad, de sobra evidente en nuestro país, ha ido cambiando en los últimos tiempos. Los procesos de democratización generan desde hace pocas décadas una descentralización de recursos y facultades encaminadas a que las regiones, los estados y los municipios participen en las decisiones que les atañen directamente. Sumado a la evolución anterior, que es más rápida o más lenta según el país de que se trate, se presenta la intensificación de los nexos entre las economías del mundo, a escalas territoriales tan específicas, que han roto las barreras de los Estados Nacionales para que los actores económicos se entiendan directamente entre sí, sin necesidad de la intermediación de los gobiernos nacionales. Asimismo, el desarrollo general de la humanidad que se añade a los dos aspectos anteriores, nos conduce a la revaloración de lo local como forma de inserción en lo global. El rescate de las identidades locales incluye el derecho a buscar modos de desarrollo acordes a las formas de vida y los recursos de cada región. ····· 1036191218
