Farmland abandonment is considered as an important phenomenon for changing eco-environmental and sociocultural landscapes of mountainous rural landscape. Many studies have analyzed farmland abandonment, its driving factors, geophysical processes consequences at landscape: however, very few focused on developing countries such in Nepal, which a rapidly urbanizing country suffering from serious abandonment. Therefore, our study was attempt to (i) assess the spatiotemporal extent (ii) explore...
Globally, farmland abandonment has been a major phenomenon for eco-environmental and social landscape changes in the mountain regions. Farmland led to endangering capacity of ecosystems as well variety processes that play pivotal role regional local level eco-environment security. This research aims (i) assess spatiotemporal degradation abandoned farmlands, (ii) identify causes degradation, (iii) analyze risks triggered or exacerbated by farmlands. We conducted an inventory distribution...
This study aimed to explore the issues of gender inequality in Nepalese special education system. Qualitative research which consisted a descriptive design was utilized. It conducted Kathmandu Valley and centered on six schools with total participation 24 teachers. The results identified many chiefly areas instruction, lack teacher training, school policies, socio-cultural background, sexual harassment, interaction teachers, parental support. concluded that these should be taken into deep...
The abandonment of farmland is a phenomenon that shows the deterioration physical and social landscape. It widespread across mountainous region Nepal expected to further increase in future. aim this study to: (i) determine driving factors abandonment; (ii) discuss its impact on systems terms networks, relations, practices; (iii) assess eco-environmental vulnerability abandoned farmlands high mountain Nepal. authors apply household surveys, focus group discussions in-depth key informant...
Soil erosion in the agricultural area of a hill slope is fundamental issue for crop productivity and environmental sustainability. Building terrace very popular way to control soil erosion, accurate assessment rate important sustainable agriculture management. Currently, many estimations are mainly based on freely available medium or coarse resolution digital elevation model (DEM) data that neglect micro topographic modification terraces. The development unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)...
Land use change, especially that due to farmland abandonment in the mountains of Nepal, is being seen as a major factor contributing increasing eco-environmental risk, undesirable changes socio-cultural landscape, biodiversity loss, and reduced capacity ecosystem provide key services. This study aims to: i) evaluate risk for one high mountain river basins, Dordi basin has growing potential abandonment; ii) develop risk-based land planning framework mitigating impact enhancing sustainable...

India has a maternal mortality ratio of 113 and child 2830 per 100,000 live births. Lack access to preventive care information is major contributing factor for these deaths, especially in low resource households. We partner with ARMMAN, non-profit based employing call-based program disseminate health-related pregnant women recent deliveries. analyze call records over 300,000 registered the created by ARMMAN try identify who might not engage programs that are proven result positive health...
<div> <table><tbody><tr><td> <p>Exposure to multiple hazards can create many risks, including some related human life and physical infrastructure. Therefore, it is important develop approaches for characterising controlling future urban development in a risk-informed manner. Towards this aim, study develops risk-sensitive exposure-mapping methodology using the Khokana area of Kathmandu (Nepal) as case study....
