  • Survey of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Practice in Vegetable Crops of Rupandehi District, Western Nepal Chandra Bahadur Thapa*
    C.B. Thapa (2017) Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 5(2): 237-242 DOI: 10.3126/ijasbt.v5i2.17628 Research Article Survey of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Practice in Vegetable Crops of Rupandehi District, Western Nepal Chandra Bahadur Thapa* Tribhuvan University, Department of Botany, Butwal Multiple Campus, Butwal, Nepal *Email for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract In the present study, documentation of farmer’s knowledge on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) was carried out in Rupandehi district during the year 2016. The objective of this paper is to assess the knowledge of farmers about IPM and its effectiveness in this district. It was carried out by conducting semi-structured interview with the participants of IPM FFS, vegetable growing farmers, stakeholders and local people with the help of standard questionnaire, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and key informant interview. The IPM program is found to be conducted by an international non-government organization viz. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and government organizations viz. Plant Protection Directorate (PPD), Agronomy Development Directorate (ADD) and District Agriculture Development Organization (DADO) through Farmer’s Field School (FFS) in this district. In total forty IPM FFS was conducted from 1998 to 2015 which provided training about IPM in rice and vegetable crops to 1057 farmers in which 393 were male and 664 female. Although a significant difference has been found in the knowledge about the amount of pesticide used, biological method of pest control for IPM by FFS participant and nonparticipant farmers, it is not observed in their behavior during the cultivation of crops in the farm.

The research issueshave been theorized from social capital, ecotourism, asset based community developmentand sustainability approach on development.The survey result shows that relevancy got highest mean value 3.9922 with std. deviation 0.90575 which is followed by impact mean value 3.7871 with std. deviation 0.78242 and sustainability mean value 3.6325 with std. deviation 0.79901. It signifies that majority of respondents are relatively satisfied with relevancy, impact and sustainability related variables. More so, effectiveness secured least mean value 3.5145 with std. deviation 0.85903 that is followed by efficiency mean value 3.6052 with std. deviation 0.78690.

  • Tourism in Nepal: the Models for Assessing Performance of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay in Nawalpur
    NJDRS 51 CDRD DOI: https://doi.org/10.3126/njdrs.v17i0.34952 Tourism in Nepal: The Models for Assessing Performance of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay in Nawalpur Rajan Binayek Pasa, PhD Lecturer at Central Department of Rural Development Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu Email for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract This study assesses performance of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay that received best homestay award in 2017. For the survey study, the datacollected from 236 sample respondents were theorized based on social capital, ecotourism, asset-based community development and sustainability approach that are then supported by the empirical findings. An index was developed to describe the overall performance of the homestay by compositing five thematic indexes: relevancy, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, sustainability. The index value 92.65 from the range of minimum 48 and maximum 240 for the overall performance provides the strong quantitative evidence to answer the question “why did Amaltari receive the best award among”. The multiple regression model (R-square value 0.99) for overall performance also proves that independent variables describe the dependent variables by 99 percent. Among the independent variables relevancy and effectiveness indexes are more likely to describe dependent variable- the overall performance index. The evidence shows that Amaltari homestay has performed well due to the technical/financial supports of WWF, proper mobilization/utilization of conservation fund and homestay community fund, strong social capital, and quality leadership that has transforming the livelihoods of Tharu, Bote and Mushar indigeneous people. However, they have some concerns like waste management in bufferzone areas, reviving the cultural organizations for preserving and transmitting culture from generation to generation, minimizing the modernization and demonstrative effects due to the excessive flow of the tourists and upgrading road connectivity.

  • A Case of Gaindakot As Fringe of Bharatpur Metropolitan City)
    Proceedings of 8th IOE Graduate Conference Peer Reviewed ISSN: 2350-8914 (Online), 2350-8906 (Print) Year: 2020 Month: June Volume: 8 Impacts of Urbanization on Land Use in Urban Fringe (A case of Gaindakot as fringe of Bharatpur Metropolitan City) Seema Pandey a, Ajay Chandra Lal b a, b Department of Architecture, Pulchowk Campus, IOE, TU, Nepal Corresponding Email: a [email protected], b [email protected] Abstract The urban fringe areas go through lots of transformations due to urbanisation but lack of proper planning and policies in such fringe areas leads to haphazard and unplanned growth, placing enormous pressures on natural resources, existing services and infrastructures. Bharatpur Metropolitan City is one of the fastest growing cities in Nepal which serves as commercial centre of Chitwan district. The city has been growing bigger and it will have its impacts on its fringe areas. Since migration rate is increasing in Bharatpur, this is likely to spread urban sprawl in adjoining areas, Gaindakot municipality being one of them.This paper uses multiple theoretical framework and qualitative research approach to find out the effects of urbanization on various aspects and the patterns of land use changes in Gaindakot with the increasing urbanisation over the years. Managing rapid urbanization poses challenges that require urgent policy attention. Otherwise, this may lead to rapid and uncontrolled sprawl; irregular, substandard, and inaccessible housing development; loss of open space, and decreased livability as in Kathmandu valley due to unplanned urban development. Keywords Urbanization, Urban fringe, Urban sprawl, Land use, Gaindakot (Nepal) 1. Background [5,6]. Nepalese cities have been urbanizing haphazardly.
