The Trash Diggers
According to the World Bank global review of waste management practices in 2012, world cities currently generate about 1.3 billion tonnes of solid waste per year. This volume is expected to increase to 2.2 billion tonnes by 2025. This work takes up the case of solid waste disposal in the city of Kolkata by drawing attention to the lives and livelihood of the waste pickers of Dhapa, a dumpsite that is a roaring business hub of the city's waste recycling. Primarily a book of pictures with original narratives, the work examines the work ambience, social interface, life threats, and future prospects of the waste pickers. The author also draws attention to the story of co-recycling, unique to the city of Kolkata, a practice where vegetables used to be grown on a garbage substrate adjacent to the dumpsite. The work seeks to demonstrate the utility of waste pickers in the context of proliferation of city waste, the urgent need for cost-effective waste management in developing countries, the need to understand existing best practices in waste management and to adopt environment-friendly options of managing solid waste.
Blue Infrastructures
This book focuses on Kolkata, formerly the colonial capital of and currently a major megacity in India, in terms of its extensive blue infrastructures, i.e., its rivers, canals and wetlands as an integrated composite whole. It unfolds ways in which this reclaimed urban space could determine, and in turn, could get determined by political fate, economic calculations and social livelihoods across changing political-economic imperatives and with large-scale implications on urban sustainability. Employing historical urban political ecology (HUPE) as the methodological framework by combining urban environmental history and urban political ecology, the book studies the changing urban environmental...
Regional Political Ecologies and Environmental Conflicts in India
This book focuses on the regional political ecologies (RPEs) of environmental conflicts in India. It explores broadly, landscape-based analyses of political, economic and social issues, which impact environmental changes, challenges and conflicts at local and micro-local levels. The chapters in this volume examine the intervention of different stakeholders in the management of various regional ecological landscapes in India, including forests, rivers, canals, creeks and wetlands. The volume is an interdisciplinary endeavour, weaving together contextual narratives through a combination of approaches from sociology, anthropology, geography, political studies and environmental history. Using su...
The Councillor As Guardian of the Environment
This book forms part of the series Training for Elected Leadership, developed by Habitat & UNEP IETC to assist councillors to represent the citizens, provide civic leadership & work effectively with central government & local authorities/institutions. The clear, practical handbook includes various types of learning activities & formats to offer trainers considerable flexibility in adapting a workshop to the specific needs of participating councillors. It may also be used for self-study purposes.
Induced Plithogenic Cognitive Maps with Combined Connection Matrix to investigate the glitches of online learning system
Plithogenic Cognitive Maps (PCM) introduced by Nivetha and Smarandache are extensively applied in decision making. This research work extends PCM to Induced PCM by introducing the concept of combined connection matrix (CCM). The proposed induced PCM decision making model with CCM is applied to examine the glitches of online learning system. It was observed that expert’s opinion on the associational impact between the factors considered for study in the form combined connection matrix is more advantageous on comparison with conventional connection matrix representation, as CCM is a mixture of crisp/fuzzy/intuitionistic/neutrosophic representations. The proposed model will certainly facilitate the decision makers in designing optimal solutions to the real time problems and it shall be extended based on the needs of the decision makers and employed in various other decision making environment. The shortcomings of the model are also discussed in brief.
