Details

Schlagwort(e): Economic geography. ; Physical geography. ; Regionalism. ; Economic Geography. ; Physical Geography. ; Regionalism.

Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Geo-Environmental Setting -- Brief Introduction of Case Study Villages -- Economic Implications of Shifting Cultivation -- Ecological Implications of Shifting Cultivation -- Recent Changes in Farming Systems at State Level -- New Land Use Policy and Sustainable Permanent Agriculture.

Kurzfassung: This book presents the first empirically tested, comprehensive study on shifting cultivation in Mizoram. Shifting cultivation is a unique and centuries-old practice carried out by the people of Mizoram in Northeast India. Today, it is a non-economic activity as it does not produce sufficient crops, and as a result, the area under shifting cultivation is decreasing. Such cultivation leads to the burning and degradation of vast areas of forestland and therefore has adverse impacts on the floral and faunal resources. This book is a valuable resource for government workers, policymakers, academics, farmers and those who are directly or indirectly associated with practical farming, or with framing and implementing policies. It is equally important to master’s and Ph.D. students of geography, resource management, development, and environmental studies who are involved in research and development.

Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Chapter 1: Introduction -- Part 1: Natural Diversity. Chapter 2: Diversity in Landforms -- Chapter 3: Diversity in Climate -- Chapter 4: Biodiversity -- Chapter 5: Agro-biodiversity -- Part 2: Cultural Diversity. Chapter 6: Diversity in Social Systems -- Chapter 7: Diversity in Culture and Customs -- Chapter 8: Diversity in Fairs and Festivals -- Chapter 9: Diversity in all Walks of Life -- Chapter 10: Conclusions.

Kurzfassung: The Himalaya is the new folded mountain system – the tallest and the youngest in the world. It has a rich diversity – natural and cultural, and diversity in all walks of life. Most of its uniqueness is unknown because of its remoteness. Even, the native people are not aware of them. This book aims to describe the uniqueness of the Central Himalaya in terms of its natural and cultural diversity in detail. Supported by original figures and primary data, this book is empirically tested. It is mainly based on observation and participation and the use of a qualitative approach. Although lots of work has been carried out on the various aspects of the Himalayan region yet, a detailed description of the natural and cultural diversity is yet to be done. This book steps forward to elaborate on some of the unique natural and cultural features of the Central Himalaya, which are worthy to be known about. It contains a total of 10 chapters. Four chapters are devoted to natural diversity and four chapters comprise cultural diversity. Besides, the introduction and conclusions are the first and the last chapters of the book, respectively. The book is the first of its kind and will be useful to all stakeholders – students of all standards, research scholars, academicians, policymakers, native people, tourists, and the general public.

Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Introduction -- The Ganga Basin -- Geography of the Ganga Basin -- The Ganga and its Tributaries -- The Ganga between Gaumukh and Uttarkashi -- The Major Cultural Towns -- Major Fairs and Festivals -- Economic Significance of the Ganga -- Environmental Issues in the Ganga Basin -- Conclusions.

Kurzfassung: ‘The Ganges: Cultural, Economic, and Environmental Importance’ is a geographical, cultural, economic, and environmental interpretation of the Ganga River. The Ganga River originates from Gaumukh- situated in the high Himalaya, flows through the world’s biggest fertile alluvial plain, and inlets into the Bay of Bengal at Ganga Sagar. It makes a unique natural and cultural landscape and is believed to be the holiest river of India. The Hindus called it ‘Mother Ganga’ and worship it. The towns/cities, situated on its bank, are world-famous and are known as the highland and valley pilgrimages. The water of the Ganga is pious, and the Hindus use it on different occasions while performing the rituals and customs. This book is unique because no previous study which presents a complete and comprehensive geographical description of the Ganga has been composed. This book presents the historical and cultural significance of the Ganga and its tributaries. Empirical, archival, and observation methods were applied to conduct this study. There are a total of 10 chapters in this book such as ‘Introduction’, ‘the Ganga Basin’, ‘Geography of the Ganga Basin’, ‘the Ganges System: Ganga and its Tributaries’, ‘Ganga between Gaumukh and Uttarkashi’, ‘the Major Cultural Towns’, ‘Major Fairs and Festivals’, ‘Economic Significance of the Ganga’, ‘Environmental Issues’, and ‘Conclusions’. The contents of the book are enriched by 89 figures, 15 tables, and substantial citations and references. .
