Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015
Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiple sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Gorkha, with a population of more than 271,000, is one of the worst-affected districts.1 The epicenter of the earthquake was in Brapok, 15km from Gorkha town. As of 6 May, 412 people have been reported killed and 1,034 injured. In the southern part of the district, food has been provided, but field observations indicate that the food supplied might not be enough for the actual population in the area. Several VDCs in the mountainous areas of Gorkha are yet to be reached by humanitarian assistance. There are no roads in these northern areas, only footpaths. The level of destruction within the district and even within VDCs varies widely, as does the availability of food. A humanitarian hub has been set up at the Chief District Officer’s (CDO) premises in Gorkha town. Reported number of people in need (multiple sources) The figures featured in this map have been collected via multiple sources (district authorities, Red Cross, local NGO, media). Where multiple figures for the same location have been reported the highest one was taken. These figures are indicative and do not represent the overall number of people in need. 1 This is an updated version of the Gorkha District Profile that was published by ACAPS on 1 May 2015. As with other mountain areas of Nepal, Gorkha contains popular locations for foreign trekkers. -

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. -

I would like to thank WWF and all consortium partners (CARE, NTNC, and FECOFUN) for submitting the updated M&E Plan. The revised M&E Plan is consistent with the approved Annual Work Plan and the Program Description of the Cooperative Agreement (CA). This updated M&E has added/revised/updated targets to systematically align additional earthquake recovery funding added into the award through 8th modification of Hariyo Ban award to WWF to address very unexpected and burning issues, primarily in four Hariyo Ban program districts (Gorkha, Dhading, Rasuwa and Nuwakot) and partly in other districts, due to recent earthquake and associated climatic/environmental challenges. This updated M&E Plan, including its added/revised/updated indicators and targets, will have very good programmatic meaning for the program’s overall performance monitoring process in the future. -

Introduction
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The phenomenon of climate change is generally understood as a long term significant change in the average weather patterns of the region or the earth as a whole. It mainly involves changes in the variability or average state of the temperature, precipitation and wind patterns over durations ranging from decades to millions of years. UNFCCC defines it as 'a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere'. Today the world is experiencing climate change and there is the scientific consensus that the increase in the Green House Gas concentrations in the atmosphere has caused to global climate change. Nepal's average temperature is rising at the - C per annum between 1977 and 1994 with a higher rate in mountain century. In addition to increase in extreme temperature, weather has been observed changing in recent years. Because of the extreme temperature, there has been change in weather conditions. Number of monsoon days has been shortening, with early onset and late withdrawal, and the intensity of monsoon rain has shown increasing trend (Gurung and Bhandari 2009). Livelihood of third world's people has been changing and threatening from climate change. The term climate change is often used interchangeably with the term global warming but according to the National Academy of Sciences the phrase 'climate change' is growing in preferred use to 'global warming' because it helps to convey meaning of other terms related to climate change in addition to rising temperatures. Climate change refers to any significant change in measures of climate (such as temperature, precipitation or wind) lasting for an extended period, decade or longer. -
