  • Analysis of Renewable Energy Project Implementation: Biogas and Improved Cook Stoves in the Village of Chhaling, Bhaktapur District, Nepal
    ANALYSIS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION: BIOGAS AND IMPROVED COOK STOVES IN THE VILLAGE OF CHHALING, BHAKTAPUR DISTRICT, NEPAL BY MARJORIE D. ELY Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN FORESTRY Michigan Technological University 2005 The thesis: “Analysis of Renewable Energy Project Implementation: Biogas and Improved Cook Stoves in the Village of Chhaling, Bhaktapur District, Nepal” is hereby approved in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN FORESTRY. School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science Signatures: Advisor:______________________________ Blair Orr Dean:______________________________ Margaret Gale Date:______________________________ ii PREFACE After completing my Bachelors degree, I knew I was not destined for the business career it was assumed I would follow. I moved to the Sierra Mountains in California and began working outdoors. It would have been difficult for me not to become impassioned about the environment there. When I found the Master’s International Program in Forestry at MTU, it seemed the program was created for me. I was ready to learn how to make a difference in both community development and natural resource conservation……. A Community Development Story: Once upon a time, a development office helped build grain storage sheds in a community. Field workers observed rats getting into the sheds and spoke with the villagers about killing the rats. The villagers did not believe it was worth the effort. The agency staff decided to give a small fee for each dead rat as an incentive to kill them. So, people began killing rats and getting paid by the office.

  • The School Earthquake Safety Program in Kathmandu Valley Building Safer Communities Through Schools
    School earthquake Nepal safety program Asian Urban Disaster Mitigation Program S afer 4 c ities Case studies on mitigating disasters in Asia and the Pacific The School Earthquake Safety Program in Kathmandu Valley Building safer communities through schools Imagine, the earth shakes for no more than a minute, but “many schools which did not prepare for an earthquake are now suffering. Many school buildings are heavily damaged with children trapped inside of them. The children who are safe are crying from fear . Many parents are worried and angry because their children have not returned home, nor are they in school, nor can they be seen on the road.” The Kathmandu Valley’s Earthquake Scenario (a product developed by the Kathmandu Valley Earthquake Risk Management Project or KVERMP) Abstract sketched this chilling picture against the background of an earthquake The School Earthquake Safety with a magnitude close to 8.3 on the Richter scale – similar in degree to Program (SESP) is one of the priority the catastrophic earthquake that struck Nepal in 1934. initiatives under the Kathmandu Valley Earthquake Risk Management Project Introduction (1997-2001). The program evolved from a simple school retrofit activity Schools in Nepal pose extreme After an earthquake, standing and safe to a comprehensive program of earth- earthquake risks. School buildings, even schools play a crucial role in quake safety involving the whole community. This case study explains rehabilitating the community. Since those built recently, are generally the rationale for focusing on schools constructed without the input of schools are typically well distributed and the comprehensive process of engineers trained in earthquake- throughout the communities, they can be developing and implementing SESP in resistant design or construction.

  • FUTURE ENERGY SCENARIOS of HOUSEHOLD in BHAKTAPUR DISTRICT Yogesh Bajracharya Abstract 1. Introduction 2. Research Objective
    FUTURE ENERGY SCENARIOS OF HOUSEHOLD IN BHAKTAPUR DISTRICT Yogesh Bajracharya Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, Khwopa Engineering College, Libali-2, Bhaktapur, Nepal Abstract Energy plays a pervasive and critically important role in economic and social development. So, energy planning is important area of study. For Bhaktapur district energy plan, the survey was done by using the questionnaire. Total of 91 samples from rural area and 112 samples from urban area were taken to prepare primary database. The total energy demand was 952 TJ in rural area and 458 TJ in urban area in 2013. LEAP (Long-Range Energy Alternative Planning System) software was used for energy planning. Five scenarios, Business as Usual (BAU), Reference (REF), Accelerated Growth Rate (ACC), and Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) in REF and ACC case scenarios were developed. Total energy demand in 2030 will be 2,748 TJ for BAU, 3,799 TJ for REF and 6,203 TJ for ACC case whereas total demand limits from 766 TJ and 1,241 TJ in SE4ALL scenario in REF and ACC case respectively. Again the total energy demand for 2045 will be 4,945 TJ, 9,104 TJ and 22,592 TJ for BAU, REF and ACC case respectively. Total energy demand for SE4ALL scenario will be 1,807 TJ and 4,381 TJ for REF and ACC case respectively. The GHG reduction up to 2045 by SE4ALL approach is 1.79 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent in REF and 3.54 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent in ACC Scenario. Keywords: Bhaktapur, LEAP, Energy, scenarios 1.

The consequences for Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) dynamics and Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) phenomena are poorly understood for many new cities. We explore this issue and their inter-relationship in the Kathmandu Valley, an area of roughly 694 km2, at decadal intervals using April (summer) Landsat images of 1988, 1998, 2008, and 2018. LULC assessment was made using the Support Vector Machine algorithm. In the Kathmandu Valley, most land is either natural vegetation or agricultural land but in the study period there was a rapid expansion of impervious surfaces in urban areas.
