National parks can be sensitive state-property areas since the surrounding communities generally need parks' resources for their livelihood. This paper focuses on inequality and transaction costs in PAMSIMAS (Community-Based Water Supply Sanitation), a water sector program Indonesia’s rural peri-urban areas. The method used is case study of Tajuk, village adjacent to Mount Merbabu Park Semarang...

This study investigates how the relationship between farmers and buyers affects adoption of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) in vegetable sector Chile. Specifically, we focus on dyadic relationships different types buyers, including besides lead firms, intermediaries, wholesalers, which have received little attention scientific literature. Our analysis focuses formal informal contracts...

River regulation alters hydrological and sediment regimes consequently affects habitat complexity dynamics, biodiversity ecosystem services. Although channel bank erosion is a key geomorphological process supplying alluvial channels with coarse sediments diversifying aquatic riparian habitats, banks have often been stabilized to limit risk human activities facilities. The objective of this pape...

Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) is projected to require 60,000 jobs in the UK by 2025, but there are a series of barriers industrial application. One most problematic non-comprehensive knowledge design for AM (DfAM). This study aims test effect two undergraduate DfAM teaching approaches. A visual and audial approach (design lecture) kinaesthetic, problem-based learning (PBL) (manufacturing...

Study Design Setting: This cross-sectional study conducted at Sindh Institute Oral Health Sciences, (JSMU) from August, 2020 January, 2021. Methodology: questionnaire conta...

The existing empirical literature on farmers’ use of soil-conserving, runoff-reducing farming practices, while sizable, contains relatively little information on the influence of cost on adoption decisions and on how farmers combine multiple practices into an overall conservation package. Such knowledge is important in light of current interest in reorienting agricultural policy toward environm...

This paper develops a CGE model with unique regional land types and detailed non-CO2 GHG emissions which it uses to analyze the potential for reductions in land-based greenhouse gas emissions as well as forest sequestration. In our global, general equilibrium analysis of carbon taxation, we find that forest carbon sequestration is the dominant means for global GHG emissions reduction in the lan...

Land use changes to reduce non-point source pollution, such as nutrient runoff to waterways from agricultural production, incur opportunity costs that are privately known to landholders. Auctions may permit the regulator to identify those management changes that have greater environmental benefit and lower opportunity cost. This paper reports a testbed laboratory experiment in which landowner/s...

Non-point source pollution, such as nutrient runoff to waterways from agricultural production, is an environmental problem that typically involves asymmetric information. Land use changes to reduce pollution incur opportunity costs that are privately known to landholders, but these changes provide environmental benefits that may be more accurately estimated by regulators. This paper reports a t...
