The impacts of tourism on local people have been studied in developing and developed countries, but the impacts of ecotourism development in national parks have not been commonly researched in a holistic approach, such that they often lack the positive aspects, notably for the socio-cultural dimension. The researcher develops a conceptual model of sustainability in ecotourism that fulfils some of the specifications established by Budowski (1976) and Valentine (1997), which establishes the symbiotic relationship of local communities in ecotourism represented by the benefits that local communities can acquire. ····· 1036189340
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Infrastructural facilities are necessary incentives for, and prerequisites of development, good quality of life and community cohesion. Whereas the majority of Nigerians live in rural areas, the rural dwellers have no voice in decision making on matters that concerned their lives. Consequently, the rural area is characterised by low accessibility, high degree of socio-economic and infrastructural deprivation that accelerate urbanisation. This infrastructural deprivation occasioned by official inadequacy in the rural sector gives rooms for rural populace to adopt collective action to solve problems of daily life. Thus, this book brings to the fore, through empirical analysis, how people in rural areas collectively respond to the problem of infrastructural deprivation through shared strategies and problem-solving interdependencies, relying on the principles of equity, fairness and mutual behavioural expectations they derive from their tradition. In order to overcome the problem of infrastructural deprivation, problem-solving models that are anchored on collective action, associational life, mutual trust, reciprocity, and common understanding are proposed for adoption. ····· 1036189296

NABARD launched a pilot to link SHGs to banks in 1992 which provided these institutions with a boost. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) permitted banks to open saving accounts in the name of informal SHGs and lend to those groups without cash collateral and without asking for the purpose of the loan. Since 1996, SHG banking has been recognized as regular banking activity. In the process SHGs emerged as mass movement across the country and the largest community based micro finance model in the world.Two decades of the SHG movement has demonstrated positive impact on poverty. The model offers great potential to have millions of member-owned, member-managed and member-used organizations of the poor. In a nutshell this book is highly useful for those who want to do further research on SHGs & women empowerment. ····· 1036189270
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This research investigates the livelihoods of artisanal fishing families at Lake Malawi. The research addresses the question of how artisanal fishers adapt their behaviour to cope with fluctuations in fish availability that occur naturally.Results show that fishers adapt to the fluctuating fish stocks either by specialising mainly in fishing and emphasing on mobility so that short and medium term movements around the lake are made in pursuit of the resource or by maintaining diverse livelihoods, combining fishing with farming and other non-farm income generating activities. There are, of course, also intermediate cases between these two opposing poles. Movement is another way of getting around the fluctuation and results show that over and above getting the fish migration for fishing purposes brings benefits both to migrants and resident communities migrants bring cash and they allowe access to the beaches. In this regard, it is argued that this sort of fishing requires minimal management, in which mobility and diversity are recognised and encouraged. ····· 1036189243
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Many development activities in the Third World countries involve the so-called donors. These are governments and other agencies that volunteer funds, material resources, and skills. It is such agencies that are technically described as trustees. That is, they conduct development activities on behalf of, or for the citizens of the Third World countries. This book addresses the trustee question by examining select projects funded by the United Nations Development Programme in Kenya. The book thus documents the myths and realities of development trusteeship in Kenya. The book argues that intentional development requires the input, or participation, of those people whose lives stand to be improved by the development activities or projects under investigation. That is, if development has to be meaningful and sustainable at the local level, it has to be informed by the desires and/or aspirations of the local communities. Development trustees are supposed to act as agencies whose activities are based on, and in direct conformity to what the members of the local population deem necessary for the improvements of their own lives. ····· 1036189139
für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Educational development in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries has long been delayed due to weak capacities in the production and management of relevant knowledge. The lack of adequate and reliable education management information systems continues to impede the formulation and implementation of sound educational development policies. Hence, there has been considerable interest within the international community, including organizations such as the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), SSA Governments and other multilateral and bilateral institutions in building relevant capacities in SSA countries. The dissertation on which this book is based was designed to contribute to our understanding of how such development policies are internationally coordinated and implemented through national programmes. It examined the coordination and implementation of the National Education Statistical Information Systems (NESIS) capacity building intervention in SSA, particularly in Senegal and Zambia, and shed some light on how capacities are built as well as on the top-down/bottom-up debate on development interventions. ····· 1036189077
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray As a branch of alternative tourism, volunteer tourism or `voluntourism` is responsible for introducing vacationers to parts of developing countries not usually seen through traditional forms of tourism. Broadly defined, voluntourism consists of `Those tourists who, for various reasons, volunteer in an organized way to undertake holidays that might involve aiding or alleviating the material poverty in some groups in society...`. These travellers interact with local and community development organizations in ways said to capacitate the organizations and contribute to development as a whole. This raises important questions about the implications of inserting unskilled and unprepared volunteers into what is said to be development work. Drawing on the development framework set out by various community development theories, and using a case study of American volunteer tourist groups working in Guatemala this manuscript examines claims that short-term, unskilled volunteers can engage in local development work and unpacks many of the issues associated with this new trend. ····· 1036188995

To see the positive effect of irrigation on livelihood, the management aspect of irrigation must be taken in to account. Nevertheless, the management aspect of irrigation is often neglected while priorities are given to the construction of irrigation. Therefore, the purpose of this study has been to assess irrigation management practices with special reference to Qorir Small Scale Irrigation Scheme, Klite-Awlalo Woreda, Eastern Zone of Tigray, Ethiopia. The study has been focused on examining how users were organized for self-management of the scheme and how water management, conflict management, operation and system maintenance issues were practiced and challenges that hinder the sustainability of the scheme also included in the study. ····· 1036188647
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This work is an attempt to examine the effect of non-economic factors in economic development focusing on the case of Iran. After distinguishing non-economic and economic factors, to tackle the topic, a wide and deep literature review was undertaken to see how development economists as well as other social scientists viewed economic and non-economic factors in their theories. The practical focus was on non-economic factors. A broad study considering the attitude of Islam towards material life and economic progress was also undertaken. This study suggested that Islam has great potential to promote a society to achieve a reasonable level of economic development though interpretations and practices often fail to follow Islamic texts. The main investigation involved fieldwork in Iran to identify obstacles to production. The results were strongly supportive to the idea that severe lack of an appropriate culture, especially amongst officials and politicians, fostering economic development and the existence of a biased world view towards socio-cultural values unsympathetic to development have caused wastage of resources, frustration of management, and consequently backwardness in Iran. ····· 1036188644
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs are a recent and popular approach in developing countries to improve health and education prospects of poor families through conditional financial incentives. However, due to sub-optimal transfers and administrative difficulties in identifying needy families, many CCT programs suffer from incomplete coverage of needy families and/or low financial efficiencies. De Janvry and Sadoulet (2003) have shown that their targeting method (the DJS method), which uses binary regression models to identify needy families and optimal transfer amounts, can effectively overcome these problems. This dissertation tackles two issues encountered in implementing the DJS method: the need for an appropriate methodology to compare binary models, and the need to develop binary models with high external validity. For targeting of CCT programs, binary models need to be analyzed comprehensively beyond the overall goodness-of-fit. For example, policy makers may need to know the rates of false positive and false negative predictions of various models and choose the most appropriate model for given policy priorities. ····· 1036188597

Under the conservancy wildlife management strategy, commercial farmers come together to manage wildlife jointly to generate income through wildlife tourism. The economic benefits generated must be shared with the impoverished surrounding communities. The rural districts can purchase wildlife and place them in the conservancy and they will be managed just as the concervancy`s own animals are managed. The districts will get profit from the animals they own. Wildlife management industry, if put to good use, has a greater potential to meaningfully increase the prosperity of the people of the neigbouring communal areas than any other land use option.The communities surrounding the conservancies must participate meaningfully in the management of wildlife to make the project a success. Once the local communites feel sidelined in the utilization of wildlife resources it will lead to conflict. Such conflict could possibly be resolved through joint management of the resource. The research is vital for Government Departments, NGOs and institutions that are into wildlife management. ····· 1036188576

However, such problems as filth, unemployment, inadequate housing facilities and many others have become the lot of many a city in the developing world. Management is the single most important tool for harnessing fully the opportunities that the city presents. However, management is as much a tool for sustainable development as it is a challenge. In many cases, management has created more problems than it has solved. Even where management has been able to find solutions to some of these problems, their sustainability and implications for sustainable development have been suspect. The question therefore is: How can cities be managed in such a way that sustainable development is achieved Participatory Management has been identified as possibly the best answer.

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book is the publication of a highly praised doctoral thesis exploring the role of social capital theory in Australian regional development policy and practice. The author provides a trenchant critique of the concept `social capital` and the link between social capital and regional economic development which has been propagated in Australia and around the world. The author draws attention to the `missing links` in social capital theory, exploring how the concept has mutated from its origins as a tool in a tightly theorised framework for the explanation of social structure and inequality, into a community development tool which many believe can be used to remedy such inequality. With reference to a case study of the local government area of the City of Playford in South Australia, the author argues that not only are current understandings of social capital unable to adequately address issues of class and structural inequality in Australian regional development, they may also be contributing to their exacerbation. ····· 1036187159
