Variations In Climatic Parameters And Food Crop Yields: Implications On Food Security In Benue State, Nigeria., Emmanuel Adamgbe, Fanan Ujoh
Confluence Journal Environmental Studies (CJES), Kogi State University, Nigeria
Agricultural production in Nigeria like in other developing countries is highly vulnerable to variations in climatic parameters which may have inverse or direct effect on the performance of food crops. This paper examines the patterns and trends of the variations in the climatic parameters and the implications of such variations on efficient yield rates of some food crops in Benue State using data on climatic variables (rainfall, temperature, sunshine) and the yield of some crops per hectare for 25 years (1986-2010). Data on the climatic variables were collected from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, AirForce Base, Makurdi while the data on …

Outsiders, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
En Política el término Outsider hace referencia a una persona que se encuentra o vive fuera del sistema de representación política o que es externo a las normas y tradiciones de la cultura política, decide ingresar a un proceso electoral en particular. Se trata de alguien “nuevo” en política; aunque no todos los nuevos son outsiders, porque en algunos casos su discurso es similar al del sistema o, en otros casos, puede ser parte de la renovación del capital político de un partido. En general son personajes que han tenido éxito en una actividad que tiene importante presencia en el …

Systemic Rework Risk Classification For Offshore Projects, Peter Love, Jim Smith, Sangwon Han
Jim Smith
Rework arises due to errors and omissions, and significantly contributes to project cost and schedule overruns in offshore projects. To acquire an understanding of the causal nature of rework in offshore projects, twenty three in-depth interviews with leading oil and gas industry practitioners were undertaken. The dialogue and narratives obtained from the interviews enabled the underlying dynamics of rework to be determined. A risk classification matrix is developed that can be utilized as a frame of reference to mitigate future rework. If rework risks are not given due consideration then there is the potential for latent conditions to become embedded …

Engaging Local Communities In Disaster Management: Perspectives From Korea, Taeho Kwon, Shahed Khan, Bhishna Bajracharya
Bhishna Bajracharya
In many countries, natural disaster management plans to address events like cyclones, flooding, storm surge and sea level rises have been developed and/ or revised in response to the wider realisation of climate change forecasts over the past few years. Opportunities to learn from overseas initiatives should be availed to search for effective ways of involving local communities in building community resilience and in adapting to natural disasters. The objective of the paper is to examine the evolving disaster management approach in Korea. The paper will analyse the roles of government as well as the ‘citizen corps’ in disaster management. …

Building Active And Healthy Communities: An Analysis Of Council Initiatives, Bhishna Bajracharya, Shahed Khan
Bhishna Bajracharya
Extract:
Historically, Town Planning has been concerned with protecting public health and safety. Indeed, earliest town planning legislation in the UK grew out of public health legislation. Over time planning broadened its focus and the role of planners by adding new areas within its scope of concerns. Meanwhile, public health organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) expanded their focus from extension of health services into the rural areas to also include urban areas. This has resulted in the Healthy Cities Movement in the 1990s.

Role Of Local Government In Disaster Management: Findings From Regional Towns In Queensland, Bhishna Bajracharya, Iraphne Childs, Peter Hastings
Bhishna Bajracharya
This paper reports selected results from a survey of Queensland local governments, conducted in late 2009, that investigated their adoption of state-level disaster management policies and guidelines. The survey comprised an online questionnaire distributed to all Queensland local governments, augmented by focus groups held in the regional coastal and inland administrative centres of Cairns, Mackay, Rockhampton, Emerald, Charleville and the Gold Coast. The paper identifies and analyses the issues and strategies of local governments in adopting state government disaster management policies and guidelines, and engaging their communities in disaster management.

A Governance Framework For Eco-Centric Behaviour In Communities, Linda Too, Bhishna Bajracharya
Bhishna Bajracharya
Climate change and its impacts have taken centre-stage in the media as well as academic research in recent years. This has led to better awareness of the sustainability issue among the general public. However, knowledge about sustainability is not necessarily matched by actual sustainable practices. The community plays an important role to effect lasting changes towards a more eco-centric behaviour. While various disciples such as marketing, psychology and urban design have undertaken research on this topic, these have often been done in isolation. The purpose of this paper is to draw together the knowledge from these well-established disciplines and develop …

Climate Change Adaption Through Land Use Planning And Disaster Management: Local Government Perspectives From Queensland, Bhishna Bajracharya, Iraphne Childs, Peter Hastings
Bhishna Bajracharya
Climate change will manifest in altered regimes of natural hazard occurrence, and therefore can be conceptualised as a disaster management issue. Strategic land use planning is a critical tool to mitigate and adapt to hazardous events. Local governments in Queensland have the responsibility for aspects of disaster management and land use planning as core functions of the council. Together they form part of the Prevention Preparedness, Response and Recovery (PPRR) framework for disaster management. In many local governments, however, there seems to be divergence between land use planning and disaster management due to the lack of integration between different functions …

Confusion Between Centrality And Remoteness In Cross-Border Regional Planning: An Australian Case Study, Daniel O'Hare
Daniel O'Hare
Cross-border regional planning raises particular planning issues due to the different planning philosophies and mechanisms used in neighbouring state jurisdictions. This paper explores cross-border regional planning issues emerging in two rapidly urbanising adjacent regions on Australia‟s east coast: South East Queensland (SEQ) and Far North Coast New South Wales (FNC NSW). Using literature review and documentary research, the paper examines contemporary regional planning for these two regions in several contexts, including the rise of regional planning in Australia; conceptions of „central‟ and „remote‟ regions; and international comparison. The paper investigates the limited progress towards coordinated cross-border regional planning in an …

Subtropical Transit Oriented Development In The Emerging South East Queensland City Region: How Well Are We Doing?, Daniel O'Hare
Daniel O'Hare
Subtropical design and transport oriented development (TOD) are key policies of the South East Queensland Regional Plan (SEQRP).1 TOD has slowly gained ground in South East Queensland (SEQ) since the mid-1990's and is now achieving acceptance in debate and decisions surrounding infrastructure investment and urban development. Since the late 1990s, subtropical design has been actively promoted by the Urban Design Alliance Queensland (UDAL/Q) and the Centre for Subtropical Design (CSD) at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), assuming greater prominence since being incorporated in the first SEQP in 2005.
The effectiveness of subtropical design in TOD is yet to be …

The Development Of Knowledge Nodes And Health Hubs As Key Structuring Elements Of The Sustainable City Region, Daniel O'Hare
Daniel O'Hare
Universities and hospitals are recognised as key infrastructure in the social and economic life of the city. These facilities can make a major contribution to urban sustainability by virtue of their locations, their interrelationships, and their coordination with transport infrastructure investments. The strategic placement and development of universities, hospitals and associated facilities can focus urban development in a way that mitigates climate change pressures and underpins the social and economic sustainability of the developing city region. This paper reviews several case studies in the development of knowledge nodes and health hubs in the emerging city region of South East Queensland …

Developing A Basket Of Resources As A Tool For Collecting Construction Cost Data Internationally, Rick Best
Rick Best
Comparing construction costs between countries, even when the countries share a common currency, is recognised as a difficult problem. Construction cost data has been included in the World Bank's International Comparison Program for many years and that data has been collected using a variety of methods. Currently several different methods are in use within the ICP and these include several types of baskets of inputs of various types and combinations. These methods have been constantly under review and as part of the latest review a new approach is being developed based around a basket of resources (BoR). The new basket …

Food In My Back Yard (Fimby): Implementing Urban Agriculture Into Australian Suburbs, Ned Wales, Nicole Webb
Ned Wales
The recent climatic events, economic uncertainty and peak oil are leading to greater levels of awareness of our vulnerability for food supply and security. During the summer of 2010/11 much of the east coast of Australia was inundated with record rainfall and proceeding flooding, which impacted on food delivery from regional production areas to urban markets. Consequently many of our major food outlets in suburban neighbourhoods ran critically low in supply and price increases were significant. These events have lead to a wider dialog on where does our food come from and how can we ensure food supply as we …

Extending The Project Management Skillset To Encompass Change Implementation, Lynn Crawford
Lynn Crawford
Project management standards address change control but are largely silent on change implementation. As the majority of projects involve some degree of organizational or behavioural change, and as project management is now applied to implementation of organisational changes as a specific project type, extension of coverage to recognise specific activities and competencies involved in effective change implementation should be considered in review of project management standards. As input to such a review, this paper presents results of research investigating the project and change implementation practices used, in practice, on projects requiring varying degrees of organizational and behavioural change.
