So it is critical to analyze the current structure of non-farm income, its distribution into various non farm income sources and to decompose the non farm income inequality among different poverty bands and landholdings. Such an analysis will ensure that correct policy intervention can be made in the relevant sub sector. This study will help policy makers to design policies in accordance with the characteristics of the particular sub-sector. This research will also be a starting point for researchers to bring the research at aggregate level to the micro level in order the research to be more specific and meaningful. ····· 10361102556

However, in most cases, the encouraging results observed during the implementation phase terminated with the project period, raising concerns on these projects`` sustainability after the project period has ended. This book focuses on this sustainability issue of the ecodevelopment project in India. Econometric analysis of the data justified a new approach for sustainable management of commons. This book presents a study that is first of its kind. In this study, the impact of institutions on both the economic development of villagers and the ecological development of forests that have to be preserved to maintain biodiversity has been analyzed in the presence of microfinance tools. Moreover, this book uniquely combines the analysis of institutions, economic development, microfinance and forests preservation towards better management of commons along with poverty alleviation. This book will be useful to forest planners, policymakers, governments, donors and scientists who are interested in institutional, environmental and economic sustainability. ····· 10361102555
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Telling Absence This book concerns feminist sociological analysis of war loss and its consequences as experienced and told by Finnish Karelian war widows of World War 2. Over 400,000 refugees from this ceded South-Eastern area were permanently resettled elsewhere in Finland. Seriousness, generosity and humour prevailed when the war widows told about their lives as patterned with hardship and change. A participatory and dialogical approach has characterised the encounters with the widows, drawing on the work of Dorothy Smith, Alfred Schütz and Liz Stanley. A key theoretical theme is that of war`s times`, a conceptual term which highlights the widows` tellings as an ongoing archive of war, inclusive of wartime events, to living with the consequences of war ever since the war started, right up until now. This work is a rhizome of connected questions: What is war What is time How to tell And above all, how do I know about telling Or how may I claim to know altogether Thus this work has developed in two directions, one towards trying to understand loss and the other towards reflexive thinking about knowledge in and of itself. ····· 10361102438

Although marriage has given way somewhat to cohabitation and divorce, cohabitation has not yet replaced marriage. Many people in Europe, Great Britain, and the United States have positive attitudes toward marriage and family life, and marriage continues to form the core of one`s life in all these three cultures. Marriage and family are still important and valued units for these societies. The pattern of changes that are happening in the European, British, and the U.S. family life suggests that these families are more similar than different from each other. However, differences exist. Some of the differences and similarities noticed may be a function of cultural differences and similarities as well as a function of changes in the societies` values, ideology, and social/economic perspective. ····· 10361102367
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray In the past few years increasing voices from the development community had asserted the importance of social capital as an effective agent for change for diverse development outcomes.Culture, norms, and trust that are embedded within the structure of social networks as the literature asserts, are the chief factors for facilitating reciprocal and mutually beneficial interactions, while lowering transaction costs and restraining opportunism. This book presents research conducted in El Bab villages in Syria to investigate forms and impact of social capital in light of the many challenges facing Syrian rural populations. The sector`s challenges are mainly due to climatic shocks, land fragmentation and scarcity of water resources, in addition to the new challenges that will arise once the gradual liberalization of Syria`s economy is complete. Policy recommendations addressing policy makers and development practitioners call for investing on social ties, forging partnerships with development organizations, as well as drawing special attention to analyzing macro- micro linkages to address development challenges and sustainability issues. ····· 10361102364

The outcome of this resettlement is however highly influenced both by the past and current experiences of the refugees and the attitude of the host community. Resettlement is a complex experience and it involves dealing with the past and moving in to the present to make a home, a place for the future even in an unhomely environment. It is about building a new community` with new structures in a new environment negotiating identities and re- creating places. This study explores the notion of place attachment, identity and resettlement among Africans in Hobart. It investigates how past emotional attachment to places might have affected ways in which refugees negotiate to find a new home far away from home` by making new places and building communities. The central question that this study seeks to address is how past place attachment and identity affect the place making process and resettlement. ····· 10361102284

To date there have been no surveys conducted to establish baseline levels of public behaviors, attitudes, and knowledge of cetaceans or their conservation in Belize. This survey quantifies the level of impact that whalewatching has on the conservation awareness gained by tourists. In addition the survey sought to determine whether tourists are less likely to go to anti-whaling or pro-whaling countries on holiday whether tourists are more or less likely to go to captive facilities or on dolphin or whalewatching excursions whether tourists gain or increase their level of environmental awareness by observing dolphins in their natural habitat and to quantify the respondents` overall environmental attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge.

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The importance of social capital in community development cannot be underplayed. Social capital amongst other things acts as a safety net for vulnerable groups when it comes to the access of resources which are poorly distributed. Water is one such resource. Much of the suffering due to inadequate access to water and sanitation is borne by the poor, those who live in degraded environments, and overwhelmingly by women, girls and other vulnerable groups. One of the most affected vulnerable groups is the People Living with HIV/AIDS. This is because water is a vital component in the proper provision of home based care and the management and reduction of opportunistic infections. This book therefore seeks to bring to the fore the opportunities presented by social capital for the society in general and vulnerable groups that may be marginalized for one reason or another. This book will be instrumental for academics, community development practitioners and particularly those working with vulnerable groups and in the field of Natural Resource Management. ····· 10361102156

It also had the purpose of promoting improved IFM options to key decision makers and organisations who are influential in maximising joint benefits from floodplains, and especially those who target the millions of people (poor men and women) in rural Bangladesh. The IFM options aimed at maximising joint benefits (rice and fish) from the floodplains. It was assumed that piloting IFM options would create an opportunity to build consensus among the various users of floodplain resources to protect and enhance the open capture fisheries upon which the poor are most dependent. The farmers can also potentially gain through adopting alternative crop management practices that are fish friendly. Through this it was hoped that key policy stakeholders and practitioners could be reached, to contribute to changing their views and approaches to floodplain management. ····· 10361102146

Personal computer, cellular phones, digital camera, mp3 player pervade our life. Looking into the recent past, electronic devices have been proliferated reduced in the size and improved in the performances. Since memories are present in almost every electronic system, these technological advances depend on the development of the semiconductor memory itself. Since the very beginning of such development, the information in conventional non volatile memory device can be stored in a conductive floating gate or in an insulating layer such as in MNOS. Over the years the memory market has been continuously increasing and this has led, in the 1995, to the introduction of a new memory cell based on discrete traps. It was already clear at that point that the realization of such memory cell would be difficult. The scientific community is still very uncertain about the questions whether, and how such device could work. Since then, there has been a lot of progress in the field of memory cell based on discrete traps, but the basic questions about the real advantages offered by such memory devices are still open today. ····· 10361102020

I particularly focused on feminist analysis of the impact of armed conflcits. The invisibility of women in the peace building process was also evident after the cessation of hostilities. The book therefore strongly argues for women`s inclusion since their voices need to be heard. This will ensure that women`s concerns and experiences are included in the peace building process.Women by the dint of their perculiar experiences will also bring a positive face to conflict resolution by emphasising on basic and family needs. Conflict resolution must therefore be done by depending on the human rights agender for both men and women. ····· 10361101874

For making right decisions about the most sensitive area of food security and for long term planning it is desirable to estimate the key variables in advance for a reasonable planning horizon. Also the study of supply response at disaggregated level is imperative as responses may be different for different zones. Therefore, the concern of this thesis is to examine the impact different factors on the supply of agricultural commodities in different agro-ecological zones in Punjab in order to make necessary adjustments in the policy reforms. The knowledge of supply greatly helps in farm decisions in allocation of resources in right direction. It can help planners and policy makers to allocate and achieve production targets and in long term planning. It thus provides a framework for adjusting production to the optimum resource employment to promote economic development. ····· 10361101825

This causes severe health problems especially to women and children who are exposed to pollutants for several hours a day while cooking. Among the indoor air pollutants Carbon monoxide (CO) was estimated using Gas Watch before and after installing an improved chulah in selected households. An intervention programme was also conducted for selected homemakers to create awareness on IAP, health of the homemakers and importance of using improved chulah to reduce IAP. The amount of CO emitted by the improved chulah was much lesser than the CO emitted by traditional chulahs. This book, therefore, throws light on the benefits of improved chulahs. If household members are in better health, there is a potential for the household to be more productive, with household adults missing fewer days of work and children missing fewer days of school.

However, with the expected leveling off of diamond extraction, there is need to diversify the economy. This book will show that tourism as a major potential sector in the economy, contributing 4.5 per cent share to GDP, can bring about shared economic growth and thus hasten the diversification of the economy. Nonetheless, tourism in Botswana is wildlife based but there is regular conflict of wildlife with the local communities. This implies that wildlife needs to be conserved and this book will show that past programs linking wildlife benefits and the local communities such as CBRNM have failed (Pagiola, 2006) to reach their conservation and long-term sustainable development goals. Consequently, mechanisms such as PES have to be instituted to circumvent the threats to wildlife as a source of benefits to the country. Two non-market valuation methods contingent valuation and travel cost are used. The study revealed that there is a potential to establish a PES market in Botswana. ····· 10361101728· 1 · ::::: · 4 ·· 5 ·· 6 ·· 7 ·· 8 ·· 9 ·· 10 · ::::: · 12 ·
