Ergebnisse der zoologischen Forschungen von Dr. Z. Kaszab in der Mongolei 292. Siphonaptera II. By F. G. A. M. SMIT, London Notes on the Siphonaptera collected by Dr. Z. KASZAB during his first three expeditions to Mongolia (1903-1905) were published under number 76 of this series of contributions (SMIT. 1966). The data for the 148 specimens collected during the following three expeditions (1966-1968) are given in the present paper. Of the 10 species or subspecies found, the following five had not been collected during the first three expeditions : Ceralophyllus vagabund us insularis ROTHSCHILD, Citello- philus tesquorum altaicus (IOFF), Malaraeus aff. dissimilis JORDAN, Neopsylla abagaitui IOFF and N. mana WAGNER. Quite incidentally Dr. KASZAB collected during his six expeditions in Mongolia in all 320 specimens of 24 species or subspecies of Siphonaptera. Although the taxa mentioned below had already been recorded from Mongolia, the new data are of value as they add to our scant knowledge of the flea fauna of that large country. Some general notes concerning those taxa can be found in SMIT I960 and 1967. The species are listed here under the collecting localities ; their serial numbers agree with those published by Dr. KASZAB in his locality lists (KASZAB, Z., Folia Ent. Hung., Ser. Nov., 19, 1966 : 569-620; 21, 1968 : 1-44, 389-444). Subsequently the 16 taxa found in the material are enumerated together with the serial numbers of the collecting localities. Lists are appended of fleas and literature additional to the lists published in SMIT, 1967. last of collecting localities (The letter in brackets following the capital letter or Dr. KASZAB'S collecting number refers to the one with which the locality is marked on the map, Fig. 1).

    Gender Guidelines to Be Distributed in All 330 Districts of Mongolia Pilot Study Supports National Roll-Out of Participatory Land Use Planning

    Gender guidelines to be distributed in all 330 districts of Mongolia Pilot study supports national roll-out of participatory land use planning By Dr. Elizabeth Daley, Mr. Batsaikhan, J. and Ms. Lkhamdulam, N. Dr. Elizabeth Daley is Team Leader of the global WOLTS project and a Principal Consultant with MokoroLtd, a UK-based not-for-profit organisation; she also serves independently as a Board Member of the Land Portal Foundation. Mr. Batsaikhan, J., is Director of the Land Management Department of Mongolia’s Agency for Land Administration and Management, Geodesy and Cartography (ALAMGAC). Ms. Lkhamdulam, N., is Managing Director of the Mongolian NGO, People Centered Conservation (PCC). Sound, sustainable land management is critical to the long-term viability of Mongolia’s traditional herding way of life. And careful planning at local level, in a participatory and gender-inclusive way, is needed to underpin that. In August 2018, Mongolia’s Agency for Land Administration and Management, Geodesy and Cartography (ALAMGAC), embarked on a formal collaboration to develop ‘gender guidelines’ for such local planning processes with the Women’s Land Tenure Security project (WOLTS) of Mokoro Ltd (UK) and Mongolian project partner, People Centered Conservation (PCC). At that time, the WOLTS team was carrying out research on the intersection of gender, land, mining and pastoralism in several soums (districts) of Mongolia. One of these – Dalanjargalan (in Dornogobi aimag (region)) – was one of the first soums taking part in ALAMGAC’s national roll-out of broader guidelines for medium-term land © WOLTS Team management planning, using a participatory approach to natural resource mapping already developed by ALAMGAC.

The Russian state in its Tsarist, Soviet and post-Soviet variants is no exception ; indeed the geographer Boris Rodoman has argued (2004) that Russia provides an extreme example of centricity. It concentrates all lines of power, infrastructure, and communications towards the metropolis — and this has generated a particular pattern of ‘remoteness’ across provincial regions. The spatial pattern identified by Rodoman locates such remote areas especially at administrative boundaries, as will be discussed below.

This study was prepared by the Social, Environment and Rural Development Unit (EASER) of the East Asia and Pacific Region, and was funded by the World Bank's Netherlands-Mongolia Trust Fund for Environmental Reform. Social, environment and rural development issues are an integral part of the development challenge in the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) Region. The World Bank's Sustainable Development Strategy for the region provides the conceptual framework for setting priorities, strengthening the policy and institutional frameworks for sustainable development, and addressing key environmental, social and rural development challenges through projects, programs, policy dia- logue, non-lending services, and partnerships. The EASER Discussion Paper series provides a forum for discussion on good practices and policy issues within the development community and with client countries.
