However, it is a mammoth task given the varied climatic conditions and weather aberrations. Currently the growth rate is 2.25 percent despite major interventions by Government of India. Rainfed regions with 85 million ha in India holds key to success and sustainable land management through adoption of improved practices is critical. The book describes an evaluation procedure developed for Sustainable Land Management (SLM) and presents the results of impact in parts of the Semi-arid Tropical region in the Deccan Plateau in Peninsular India. The Ex-Post Impact Assessment (ePIA) procedure adds to our knowledge base. The book presents applications of GIS and remote sensing in fields of soil science, soils and waters conservation engineering, agricultural geography, in addition to guidance for implementation and monitoring of similar rural development projects. Designed for scientists, researchers, development specialists and policy makers. ····· 10361147029

It plays an important role in poverty reduction and economic development. In Bangladesh rural-urban migration is the most important factor for rapid urbanization. In urban centres slum is a popular destination for poor rural-urban migrants. More than 15 million people lives in the slums of six divisional cities of Bangladesh. Megacity Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh, alone holds about 3.4 million people in 4966 slums. This book focuses on the three slums including two largest slums of Bangladesh. This study reveals that predominantly migrants come from northern and southern part of the country. Majority of these migrants came after 1990. In most cases migrants left villages at a very early age, between their ages of 15 to 30. This study evaluates the migration objectives, status and the fulfillment of their migration objectives based on a survey on 373 randomly selected migrants. Getting easy access to informal economy and job searching are the predominant objectives of the migrants. Financial crisis, lack of job, river bank erosion are some significant reason for rural-out migration. ····· 10361147002

This monograph is my Ph.D research work which focus on the urbanization of Bangalore city of Karnataka, India. Varied aspects of urbanization are discussed here such as demography, spatio-temporal expansion of the city, land use, land transformation, urban growth suitability model etc. Application of Soft System Methodology to create `Righ picture` that could generate spatial history is exemplified here. Geoinformatics is applied as tool to analyse and quantify the transformation of land. The book provides an overall idea on urban based analysis and with specific application of Geoinformatic techiques to urban expansion and land transformation studies. I am sure this work would give suitable support to future research works on urbanization of any city and in particular to Bangalore. ····· 10361146444

This is with specific reference to Nairobi city, which has a vast resource of forested areas such as Karura Forest, Ngong Road Forest, City Park and the Nairobi Arboretum. This study therefore sought to establish the preference of Nairobi residents on the use of urban forested areas as outdoor recreation sites, as well as identifying the opportunities existing within the forests for outdoor recreation. Survey research design was used to gather information on urban residents preferences on the use of forested areas for outdoor recreation. Factors under investigation were facilities within the forested areas as independent variables and urban residents preferences as dependent variables. A sample size of 200 residents was drawn from the study area by use of random probability sampling method. Data was collected by use of five point Likert Scale questionnaire and closed ended questions, which was administered to residents within the study area (on-site). ····· 10361146357

This work sets out to examine the usage, potential ridership and challenges of rail mass transit in Lagos State. The study utilized primary data obtained from questionnaire, in-depth interview surveys of stakeholders in the transport sector, field study, observation guide and secondary data obtained from relevant organizations. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. This work demonstrates the need for the development of rail for efficient transportation of commuters in Lagos/Nigeria and possibly will influence policy on transport. It will also add to the existing literature on rail transportation and transportation in general, thereby producing valuable information that could help policy makers, scholars, academic researchers, students and other stakeholders in appreciating the situation of rail transportation in Lagos. ····· 10361146331

New African leaders were confronted by arbitrary boundaries and inherited state structures in ethnically diverse regions. Failing to realize their country s potential, the first generation of leaders fell into kleptocratic methods of governing. Ethnic communities, political leaders, warlords and civilians soon discovered the most effective and efficient path to power and personal gain to be achieved with the simplicity and lethality of small arms, and in particular, the AK47. Tropical Africa has an abundance of natural resources and raw material, and illicit arms trade. Porous borders help facilitate movement of arms, combatants, and violence. The region continues to struggle to find an identity. Individuals, groups and organizations form in order to seek wealth, security and an identity of their own. Simultaneously, governments struggle to provide for the people while seeking personal wealth, security and identity. Grievance, greed and small arms are prolific and ubiquitous throughout Tropical Africa. The AK47 is the tool that shapes identity in Africa s cycle of kleptocratic semi-democracies. ····· 10361146227

Availability of water, its quantity and quality are still major challenges in most rural areas of developing countries. Most people in rural areas use untreated borehole water for domestic purposes. Most of these boreholes broke up a few years after installation, thus causing people to use unprotected water from wells and creating a health risk. Water quality monitoring from wells and boreholes has been lacking in most rural areas of Zimbabwe. Data on the quality of water from these sources is not readily available in rural areas. This dissertation presents results of a study conducted to assess the quality of drinking water in ward 1 of Insiza District in Zimbabwe. The study was carried out in February 2009. Water samples collected 23 boreholes and 7 wells were analyzed for physical and chemical parameters. Measured water quality parameters were pH, electrical conductivity, calcium (Ca), nitrates (N03), hardness, iron (Fe) and total dissolved solids (TDS). Results indicate that water quality from boreholes and wells is acceptable to drinking as all the parameters were within ····· 10361146194
