Sustainability at Border Villages of Punjab (India): A Critical Study on Initiatives and Practices

The focus of this review is the sustainability of villages under the ‘Smart Village’ concept with special emphasis on the Border Villages, primarily that of the Punjab state. Based on various case studies, this article summarizes some of the major issues and challenges which these border villages face. What hindrances they have? Which rural development plans are implemented and how sustainable are their environments?The review is based on the implementation of ‘Smart Village’ concept in the villages worldwide, an effort to make them more sustainable.Fast progress and development of rural and urban communities is adversely affecting the environment on account of unsustainable technologies. Sustainability of ecosystem is the most important prerequisite of all development plans, be it the Smart City or Smart Village. The study aims to project different case studies taken up globally as well as locally under thisconcept.It reflects that border villages are in a state of neglect and need attention. It also aims to highlight various constraints and problems of the border villages along with certain trans-boundary environmental issues.Findings indicate that the various government plans/schemes launched at different times,are less effective due to lack of proper follow up.Theneed of the hour is to make a country wide comprehensive development plan to identify the actual issues. It must be in an integrated manner, primarilywithpeople’s participation to make the villages in the vicinity of international border environmentally smart and sustainable.

Prediction of Flick Density in the Rainy and Dry Seasons Based on Health Services, Behavior, Environmental Conditions, and Breeding Place in Banjarbaru City Using Partial Least Square

Background: Dengue fever is a serious public health threat and becomes an economic burden throughout the tropics. The indicator of success in eradicating dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is related to the presence of mosquito larvae, namely the density of larvae. Climate change from the rainy season to the dry season has led to the proliferation of disease vectors such as the Aedes mosquito. Environmental factors play a very big role in addition to behavior, health services, and heredity. Other factors that are also at risk of infection and the growing development of dengue fever are population growth that does not have a specific pattern, unplanned urbanization factors. Materials and Methods: The sample in this study was a housewife selected in twelve endemic villages in Banjarbaru city. This study examined the larva density model with a partial least square approach, so that by knowing the influential factors in the decrease in the density of flicks is expected to be used as a reference for prevention and control of DHF events cases. Results: The results showed that the prediction model of flick density in the rainy season and dry season with Partial Least Square (PLS) approach is a fit and highly accurate model based on criteria R2 and Q2. The density model of flicks in the rainy season can be explained by behavioral health services, environmental conditions, and Breeding Place by 87.7%, while in the dry season it is 80.8%. The decrease in larva density in the rainy season is heavily influenced by environmental conditions, behavior and health services, while in the dry season is influenced by breeding place / site. The rainy season prefers fogging (0.714) and counseling (0.795) indicators on the health service factor, while in the dry season the dominant indicators are larvasidation (0.847) and Periodic Larva Check (PLC) (0.729). Furthermore, behavioral factors in the rainy season prioritize knowledge indicators (0.716), while during the dry season the dominant indicators are attitude (0.899) and action (0.890). Environmental conditions in the rainy season pay more attention to water pH (0.588), while in the dry season the indicators considered are water temperature (0.991) and water type (0.774). In the rainy season, the breeding place factor pays more attention to the type of container (0.950), while in the dry season the dominant indicators are container material (0.970), container color (0.959), and container cover (0.924). Conclusion: The breateau index and house index indicators are dominant in forming larva density. The breeding place is a dominant factor in directly affecting the density of larvae in the dry season. Container material affects the growth of microorganisms that feed larvae, especially in containers that are rarely drained. The magnitude of the influence of breeding places in the dry season is more due to the infrequent draining of water for supply, so that larvae reproduction is more frequent.

Development of the weaving home industry through the use of natural dyes in the east rabadompu village of bima city

Problems encountered in the development of the weaving home industry inthe East Rabadompu Village, Bima City as an export commodity include: Bima woven fabric products use yarn raw material that has been colored using synthetic dyes thereby reducing the artistic value and exotic side. Although synthetic dyes have a more diverse color, they do not fade easily, are easily produced, the fabric coloring process is easier and the cost is cheap. However, synthetic dyes are carcinogenic and dangerous for the environment. The solution to overcome these problems is to use natural dyes obtained from plant extracts in the form of root, bark, stem, leaf or fruit. Natural dyes have many advantages, including colors that are more natural, cool, unique and beautiful in accordance with the characteristics of natural colors, waste produced more environmentally friendly (biodegradable), the availability of abundant raw materials (renewable). In this activity, natural dyes are made from indigo leaves, yellow bark, mahogany bark, java bark, brown seaweed, areca nut and noni root. The resulting yarn colors consist of black, maroon, pink, beige, gray and purple.

Heat risk of residents in different types of communities from urban heat-exposed areas

Heat risk assessment is important due to serious health problems caused by heat waves. The complexity and diversity of socio-ecological characteristics in urban areas that lead to heat risk are more serious in heat-exposed areas, while risk assessments and determinant based on individuals in heat-exposed areas have been neglected in previous studies. This study pursues a new idea of combining questionnaire surveys and remote sensing analysis to identify urban heat-exposed areas and assess heat risk in heat-exposed areas of Beijing, China. Morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) was used to identify large and continuous hotspot regions as urban heat-exposed areas based on summer surface temperature from 2011 to 2017. A total of 1484 valid questionnaires were completed by residents of heat-exposed areas. The majority of respondents (96.4%) indicated that they perceived heat risk. Moreover, the residents without a local “hukou” were a potentially vulnerable group (note: hukou refers to the population registration management system.). This study further analysed the diversity of community types within the heat-exposed areas. There were significant differences in heat risk among the different community types of multi-story residential districts, Hutong (a traditional architectural form) residential districts and city villages. In particular, the degree of heat risk perceived by residents living in these the community types was determined by whether they had pre-existing medical conditions; however, age only played a decisive role in city villages. This study not only enriches the current understanding of health risks affected by heat waves but also explores the determinants contributing to the severity of heat risk. The output provides important information for future development of heat mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Urban regeneration with the intervention of industrial transformation and curatorial ideas ‐ A Case Study of Dafen Village, Shenzhen

As a by-product of China's rapid urbanization, the number of "villages in cities” is also significantly increasing, stalling further urban development. China has many mature experiences in transforming villages in cities, but few cases are based on cultural industries. Dafen Village in Shenzhen, a young city committed to transforming itself into an international art district through culture-orientated urban regeneration, is an exception. The transformation of villages in cities usually involves the reconstruction of old cities, the re-planning of urban landscapes and their architectural functions, to whose designs curatorial concepts and practices are indispensable. This dissertation adopts empirical analyses to examine the feasibility problems that Dafen Village has encountered in its transformation and conducts a comparative study of similar cases in China and other countries to explore transferable experience and solutions. Discussions focus on the profound role of curatorial ideas on the artistic and cultural innovations and operations in the transformation. The study concludes with an optimistic forecast of Dafen Village's new urban form after its urban regeneration.

Опыт картографирования Крымского регионального рынка СМИ

The article describes the geographical approaches to the study of mass media. The main directions of mapping the media sphere are defined and described: maps of the development of telecommunications infrastructure, maps of media production, maps of population provision and availability of media products, cartographic technologies in media activities, mapping of mass information and big data. The essence of the concept of geographical media market is considered. The research interest of this paper is focused on mapping traditional media, namely regional newspaper publications and television channels. The methods of mapping and geographical segmentation of the regional market of newspaper publications and television media are described and tested on the example of Crimea. The article presents cartographic works that reflect the territorial differentiation of local newspapers and their sales, the level of development of digital television broadcasting infrastructure, and the nature of localization and scope of local television activities in Crimea. The article describes the segment of national and religious mass media, which are an important element of the social development of the polyethnic and polyconfessional Crimean region. The geographical segmentation of the print and television media market of the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol was performed. As a result, the main media centers, acceptor-creative and acceptor territories were identified. The use of the cartographic method allowed us to identify the type of territorial structure of the geographical media market of Crimea. It is concluded that this area of activity in the region develops according to the “center–periphery” model, which is complicated by the split in the level of telecommunications development in the “city–village” direction. Despite a fairly extensive network of media enterprises in Crimea, a number of cities and districts do not implement the potential for creating local media on their territory.

Studi Literatur Pencegahan Bahaya Kebakaran pada Pemukiman Masyarakat Suku Baduy dan Penerapannya

<p class="Abstract"><em>Cultural heritage areas in the form of historic urban villages are part of the country's wealth that deserves to be preserved. The value and authenticity of settlements is the focus of conservation measures. Protocol Hoi Ana in 2009 explained the dimensions of cultural heritage. This dimension is divided into two: first, dimensions that are visible, in the form of visual, visible, building material, location, place settings, and others. Second, the dimensions of values contained in cultural heritage, in the form of history, spirit of place and others. The authenticity and whereabouts of historic villages in a city have so far decreased in number and seem to disappear with frequent cases of fires that damage this cultural heritage area. From the data collected, there are various causes of fires in the historic urban village. The main focus is related to the low level of public awareness, among others: negligence due to the fall of candles, transformer explosions, excessive use of currents, low awareness of the causes of electricity theft practices which often lead to short circuits which cause fires that cause casualties, damage to urban areas and historical buildings in it. The historic city village is a property of the nation and state. The community has the same responsibility in a community to save and preserve it. This paper reviews various literature studies related to the role of the community in preventing the danger of fire in cultural heritage areas that have been home to tens or even hundreds of years. With the existence of knowledge and sense of ownership by the community, it is hoped that fire prevention management in the historic township can be applied and its sustainability carried out.</em></p>

Cystic Echinococcosis in Humans in Turkey

Although cystic echinococcosis (CE) is quite prevalent in Turkey, it is extremely neglected due to being usually asymptomatic for years and frequently not to be reported although it is obligatory. Most of the data on the prevalence of CE in humans in Turkey are based on hospital records, reported cases and the studies based on serological methods and they do not reflect the truth. The fact that detecting no cysts in most of the seropositive cases limits the value of researches based on serological tests. The most valuable epidemiologic data on CE are obtained by mass screening surveys with the use of portable ultrasonography (US) and it took the place of serological tests, especially in the last 20 years. Two of 190 cases older than 20 years were found to be positive for CE in a village of Konya city at the first study that US was performed in Turkey. At the first research performed on preliminary school children in Manisa Province; of the 630 students examined by US, serology and chest X-ray, 2 (0.3%) were diagnosed as CE by US. Only US was used at the second study, and hydatid cysts were observed in 3 (0.5%) of the 575 students in two villages; these data suggested that the use of US alone was more easy, fast and beneficial in the field studies. In the third research, 6093 students from 37 different schools of Manisa Province were selected as a representative sample, and 9 (0.2%) children (two previously operated) were found to be positive for CE by US. The only response to the invitation to use this model in different regions of Turkey was from Elazig Province and of the 2500 students selected, six cases (one previously operated) were detected, and the prevalence was found to be 0.2% in Elazig Province. During the same years, of the 102 cases sharing the same living space with 40 patients operated due to CE, 13 (12.7%) were radiologically diagnosed as CE in Van, while CE was diagnosed in 1 (0.5%) of the 209 cases in an area dealing with animal husbandry in Aydın. At the fourth research in Manisa, 4275 students from university were examined by US, while 2034 of these were also serologically tested by ELISA and Western Blot (WB). The efficacy of WB as a screening test in CE was investigated for the first time in the world; six new and three operated cases were detected, and the prevalence was 0.2%. During the research in the rural areas of Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey, of the 8618 cases living in six cities (Ankara, Aksaray, Balikesir, Bitlis, Edirne, Sanliurfa) of Turkey, 53 (0.6%) abdominal CE cases were detected by US and one of every 163 cases in Turkey was found to be infected with CE. This ratio shows that CE is one of the most important public health problems in Turkey. Control of CE is possible with "One Health" concept. An effective control program and changes in valid laws are needed in Turkey. In this review, the value of different diagnostic procedures have also been discussed.

Sustainability constrains of Social Housing Projects in Egypt

Egypt -as many developing countries- is facing environmental, economic and social constrains. Also facing the negative impact of population growth. And the need to Provide safe and adequate housing for low income people to create an environment of social justice. Lack of affordable housing is recognized as one of the fundamental problems in urban areas in developed and developing countries alike. Egypt should adapt sustainable solutions to curb population growth and its negative impact on the environment such as the increasing demands made on natural resources, man-made and urban expansion over agricultural land. The Main Objective of this paper is to: examine the potential of adopting sustainable social housing projects in Egypt to overcome the country’s short-term future challenges. Where we could rely on as a nucleus for the new urban communities facing environmental, economic and social challenges. The research select affordable housing projects which present the three Axis of the national housing project (2005-2012) which are: Othman Housing (first care housing), Graduate Villages in Burullus (rural housing) and Harm city (private sector initiative) to study their issues and how they achieved the program objectives. To identify Constrains, opportunities and potentials that Egypt should widely discuss to determine the most appropriate during the construction of the current social housing project (The million units project).

ASSESSMENT OF RAIN WATER HARVESTING SYSTEM

The life of the inhabitants of the globe is greatly dependant on water. Providing portable water to communities is of prime interest. Scarcity of water is a threat in near future in Pakistan. There is a need to search for alternate sources of water to fulfil the community requirement. Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) system is a better alternative. Keeping in view the vast application of this system, it is adopted as an alternative source of water in a village of Abbottabad city where there is scarcity of water. According to Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), the currently available gravity system and three tube wells are not sufficient to supply water to all the population. For this study, first, the rainfall data is collected and then by using the principle of rainwater harvesting system, the quantity of available water is calculated. The calculations were made using SCS curve number method using mean monthly rainfall depth. From calculation, we found that not only for current population but for population in 2028 can also be served by storing the water that we get from Rainwater Harvesting system if stored in a reservoir. But after 20 years i.e. in 2038, there will be deficiency of 146, 449 gallons per day of water for entire community which can easily be arranged from a small tube well. Therefore, on the basis of this study, it was recommended to the PHED of Abbottabad city to store the rainwater in a reservoir so that it can be easily utilised.

An Analysis Of The Potency And Opportunities For The Youth Participation In The Development Of Wiyono Village District Pesawaran Lampung

This research is an exploratory study that wants to study the role of youth in village development in Wiyono Village, Gedong Tataan District, Pesawaran Regency. The research is based on the background of the fact that Wiyono Village is a City Village that has many facilities with relatively advanced population, but is still a developing village, not a fast developing village. This is interesting to study to find out what causes it. The research population was all village youths with 32 people drawn from eight hamlets in Wiyono Village. The study was conducted with an exploratory approach using qualitative descriptive methods. The results showed that the potential of Wiyono Village youth was in the high category with a score of 4, while the level of youth participation in village development was in a moderate position with a score of 3. The main cause of the lack of optimal youth participation was the lack of communication between the village government and the youth.
