  • Coastal Tourism in Odisha and Its Impact on Beach Degradation
    Article can be accessed online at http://www.publishingindia.com COASTAL TOURISM IN ODISHA AND ITS IMPACT ON BEACH DEGRADATION Soumendra Nath Biswas* Keywords: Abstract: Coastal resources throughout the Odisha Coast are the famous attraction for the tourists. At the same time mass tourism in this region is a major contributor to sewage and solid waste pollution, deforestation, coastal erosion and sedimentation from construction activities. Beach degradation from tourism depends on the number of tourists inflow, the rate of growth of the tourism industry, improper planning and lack of control. Tourism-related physical changes are also widespread for expanding tourism infrastructure projects. The present study is an effort to examine the role of Coastal tourism in Odisha, especially in Puri, Konark, Gopalpur and Chandipur which affect the socio-economic life of the local communities and environmental degradation of the quality of beaches. In the study area, development was based on a rapid growth of tourist demand and chaotic development of tourist facilities. Erosion is very common in Odisha coast. Solutions like sand re-nourishment have not stopped the erosion process. The rising number of tourists exerts a strong pressure on these beaches. Key objective of this paper is to find out how to maintain balance between positive and negative impacts of beach tourism to get optimum benefits and maintain sustainability by protecting it from the environmental catastrophe, manmade hazards followed by beach degradation. Keywords: Coastal Tourism, Recreation, Beach-Dune System, Ecotourism, Snorkeling, Environmental Degradation, Catastrophe, Sustainability, Erosion the successful development and well being of other activities INTRODUCTION and processes” (Butler, 1993, p.

Bright, inquisitive, kind, reflective, mature, and authentic, they are spirited women who have a growing sense of their capabilities and strengths. While many students enter Meredith a bit unsure of what “research” might entail — and whether they are interested in or capable of conducting it — part of the growth lessons here encourage small steps into asking and answering important questions. Perhaps they focus on the “why” of a personality trait, or the “how” of an artist’s technique, or the “when” of a plant’s pollination and what those answers may mean for our world. Or they may test methods, eager to know how a change in chemical or application or calculation might alter the outcomes of an experiment. They talk with their faculty and staff mentors, and each other, about meaning and interpretation and “what if’s” and “what nexts” — all in the spirit of learning, engaging, and making meaning. CSA Day is the celebration of all the wonder our students bring to their studies and to their discussions and to their peers.

  • 2012-2013 Montserrat Seminar Descriptions
    MONTSERRAT SEMINAR DESCRIPTIONS 2012-2013 The Montserrat Program is grouped into five different thematic clusters: Core Human Questions (C); The Divine (D); Global Society (G); The Natural World (N); and The Self (S). Each cluster contains seminars examining the theme from a variety of perspectives. Core Human Questions MONT 100C Greeks Reconstructing the Past (fall The writing of history is one of the great "discoveries" of the ancient Greeks. Poems like the Odyssey kept the Greeks connected with their past for centuries, but the truth behind a story like that of the Cyclops was probably of little importance to an ancient audience. Herodotus, an Asian Greek from Halicarnassus, first made "inquiries"--the literal meaning of "history"--into what really happened in the past, especially during the Persian Wars. We will read Herodotus' works, as well as those of Thucydides, another luminary from the fifth century BC, and we will examine what standards these historians used for finding historical truth and how successful they were in their attempts. MONT 101C Romans Reconstructing the Past (spring) Given their admiration for most everything Greek, ancient Romans reconstructed their past in many of the same ways as the ancient Greeks...but with a Roman twist. We will read from the works of Livy, a first century BC writer, who was at times more concerned with composing morality tales than with presenting historical truth. Tacitus, who lived a century later, faced the daunting task of writing a truthful history at a time when an angry emperor could cut short a historian's career...and life.
