A number of persons has guided me all along that discovery process. During my master thesis research in Pailin Province, Cambodia in 2007, I witnessed the agricultural colonization of forestlands by successive waves of poor migrants who risked their life to clear land from the forest despite the landmines and the malaria. Like the local farmers, I was happy to see their fertile soils and high yields. At that time, they produced up to 10t/ha maize grain without fertilizers in newly reclaimed land.

WATER AND SEWER BUREAU, CITY OF KITAKYUSHU CTI ENGINEERING INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. Summary 1. Overview of the Kingdom of Cambodia (1) Natural Condition The total landmass of the Kingdom of Cambodia (hereinafter referred to as Cambodia) is approximately 181,000 km2 (a little less than the half of Japan’s total area). The Mekong River traverses the country from north to south, crossing the boundary with Lao PDR in the north. The Tonle Sap Lake and the river systems are the dominant features forming the Central Plains which cover three quarters of the country’s area. The Tonle Sap River runs off the Tonle Sap Lake and joins together with the Mekong River at the capital city of Phnom Penh. To the north and northeast, near the boundaries with Viet Nam and Lao PDR, are mountain ranges with dense virgin forests and diverse wildlife. According to the 2008 census, Cambodia has an estimated population of 1,340,000 people. Cambodia, lying entirely within the tropics, has a hot and humid climate, which is divided into wet (June to October) and dry (November to May) seasons. Severe heat occurs especially in the second half of the dry season (February to May) and the day time temperature can rise up to 30 to 40 ℃.

The major yield constraints cited by farmers were lack of water, inability to manage water and competition by weeds. Water shortages result in reduced crop establishment, non-optimal herbicide application timing and poor weed control. Reduced tillage, drill planting and use of pre-emergence herbicides can improve weed management. The adoption of drill planting improves crop establishment and enables the use of pre-emergence herbicides. Possible reasons for changes in weed problems include the change to a two-crop rice system in the wet season and spread of seeds by harvesting machines. The main weed seed contaminants of rice seed kept for sowing were Echinochloa crus-galli, E. colona, Fimbristylis Citation: Martin, R.; Chhun, S.; miliacea, Ischaemum rugosum and Melochia corchorifolia.

Breton, 34093, Montpellier, France ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: At the end of the 1990s, the Northwestern uplands of Cambodia were one of the last forest frontiers of the Land-cover changes country. In a region that was the last Khmer Rouge stronghold, the opening of former conflict zones after a peace Land-use drivers agreement initiated a vast movement of agricultural colonization. This movement was economically triggered by Remote sensing high market demand for agricultural commodities such as maize and cassava and fueled by a massive flow of Rural migration spontaneous in-migration of land-poor farmers from lowland regions around the entire country. Focused on four Agricultural expansion upland districts along a pioneer front of Northwestern Cambodia, we analyzed historical trajectories of land use/ Cambodia cover changes using a chronological series of Landsat data from 1976 to 2016.

  • Scaling up Waste Recycling in Battambang City
    Kingdom of Cambodia Nation Religion King Scaling Up Waste Recycling In Battambang City 1 Kingdom of Cambodia Nation Religion King Scaling Up Waste Recycling In Battambang City SCALING UP WASTE RECYCLING IN BATTAMBANG CITIES 6 Acknowledgements This report was commissioned by GGGI Cambodia and authored by Terra Michaels, Josselin Ravaz, and Piseth Sensamras from GRET, with inputs and supervision by Karolien Casaer-Diez, Jerome Fakhry, and Donovan Storey from GGGI. II III Foreword By The Governor Improving solid waste management is a high priority for the city of Battambang, as outlined in the list of priority actions in the draft Sustainable City Strategic Plan for Seven Secondary Cities 2019–2030. In recent years, our city has made great improvements to address waste management issues and has participated in many initiatives as summarized in this report. Our city now has several options to manage recyclable materials, such as plastics and organics. We also have the newly constructed Material Recovery Facility, yet to be operational, and are aiming to build a new and improved landfill in the coming years. Of course, the thriving informal sector also contributes greatly to the recovery of recyclable materials in the city. However, further improvements are required, as littering and the open burning of waste still occurs on a large scale, including at the existing landfill. To build on the past work and continue addressing current issues, the municipality welcomes this study on improving waste recycling. As outlined in the report, for a more efficient waste management system, source separation of wet and dry waste is critical.

CHAPTER 2 A multi-scale flood vulnerability assessment of agricultural production in the context of environmental change: A The case of the Sangkae River watershed, Battambang province DOCH Sotheavin, Jean-Christophe DIEPART, HENG Chinda Section ABSTRACT Flooding on Cambodian land use systems is not a new phenomenon but its significance has increased in the context of global environmental changes. This study aims to assess the vulnerability of agricultural production to floods in the Sangkae River watershed in Battambang province, Northwestern Cambodia. The study was conducted in conjunction with the provincial spatial planning team hosted by the Provincial Department of Land Management and can be viewed as a first step toward a flood management decision-making tool for provincial authorities. The assessments rest on specific dimensions of vulnerability (exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity) at different levels in a multi-scale framework: spatial scale (watershed, commune and household); temporal scale (decade, year and season); and institutional scale (national policy, provincial operating rules and communal agencies).
