Carrying Capacity Analysis in Mizoram Tourism
Senhri Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies, Vol. 4, No. 1 (January - June 2019), p. 30-37 Senhri Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies ISSN: 2456-3757 Vol. 04, No. 01 A Journal of Pachhunga University College Jan.-June, 2019 (A Peer Reviewed Journal) Open Access https://senhrijournal.ac.in DOI: 10.36110/sjms.2019.04.01.004 CARRYING CAPACITY ANALYSIS IN MIZORAM TOURISM Ghanashyam Deka 1,* & Rintluanga Pachuau2 1Department of Geography, Pachhunga University College, Aizawl, Mizoram 2Department of Geography & Resource Management, Mizoram University, Aizawl, Mizoram *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Ghanashyam Deka: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5246-9682 ABSTRACT Tourism Carrying Capacity was defined by the World Tourism Organization as the highest number of visitors that may visit a tourist spot at the same time, without causing damage of the natural, economic, environmental, cultural environment and no decline in the class of visitors' happiness. Carrying capacity is a concept that has been extensively applied in tourism and leisure studies since the 1960s, but its appearance can be date back to the 1930s. It may be viewed as an important thought in the eventual emergence of sustainability discussion, it has become less important in recent years as sustainability and its associated concepts have come to dominate planning on the management of tourism and its impacts. But the study of carrying capacity analysis is still an important tool to know the potentiality and future impact in tourism sector. Thus, up to some extent carrying capacity analysis is important study for tourist destinations and states like Mizoram. Mizoram is a small and young state with few thousands of visitors that visit the state every year. -
Tree Diversity and Carbon Stocks of Hmuifang Forest, Mizoram
S. B. Sharma et al. Int. J. Res. BioSciences, 7(1): 87-99 (2018) International Journal of Research in BioSciences Volume 7 Issue 1, pp. (87-99), January 2018 Available online at http://www.ijrbs.in ISSN 2319-2844 Research Paper Tree diversity and carbon stocks of hmuifang forest, Mizoram *Shijagurumayum Baleshwor Sharma, Ngangbam Somen Singh and R. Lalruatfela Department of Forestry, Mizoram University, Aizawl, Mizoram-796004, INDIA (Received October 13, 2017, Accepted December 29, 2017) Abstract The diversity of trees and carbon stock of Hmuifang forest were studied. The highest Density, Frequency and Important value Index were found in Dipterocarpus retusus with 153.33, 86.67 and 42.33 respectively, followed by Helicia excelsa with 136.67, 73.33 and 22.10 respectively. Lithocarpus xylocarpus has the highest abundance (2.40) followed by Helicia excelsa (1.86). The study of diversity indices shows that there is greater diversity, the community has a higher evenness and there are fewer disturbances in the forest. Biomass of trees was calculated by using allometric equations. Below ground Biomass was estimated by the Root- Shoot ratio relationship. The highest biomass was stored in Quercus floribunda (244.61 t/ha) followed by Dipterocarpus retusus (175.04 t/ha). Soil samples were collected from four depths layer (0-10 cm), (10-20 cm), (20-30 cm) and (30-40 cm). Soil Organic Carbon was determined by using Walkley-Black wet oxidation method. The Total Carbon Stock of Hmuifang Forest was found to be 468.26 t/ha and total CO2 sequestered is 1718.51. The results of this study help understand the status of this forest and its importance in Carbon sequestration. -
China, India, and Myanmar: Playing Rohingya Roulette?
CHAPTER 4 China, India, and Myanmar: Playing Rohingya Roulette? Hossain Ahmed Taufiq INTRODUCTION It is no secret that both China and India compete for superpower standing in the Asian continent and beyond. Both consider South Asia and Southeast Asia as their power-play pivots. Myanmar, which lies between these two Asian giants, displays the same strategic importance for China and India, geopolitically and geoeconomically. Interestingly, however, both countries can be found on the same page when it comes to the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar’s Rakhine state. As the Myanmar army (the Tatmadaw) crackdown pushed more than 600,000 Rohingya refugees into Bangladesh, Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi’s government was vociferously denounced by the Western and Islamic countries.1 By contrast, China and India strongly sup- ported her beleaguered military-backed government, even as Bangladesh, a country both invest in heavily, particularly on a competitive basis, has sought each to soften Myanmar’s Rohingya crackdown and ease a medi- ated refugee solution.

Since the Myanmar military seized power in September 1988, both the Asian pow- ers endeavoured to expand their influence in the reconfigured Myanmar to protect their national interests, including heavy investments in Myanmar, particularly in the Rakhine state. -

Hale Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of African, French, and Comparative Literature Head of the Department of French and Francophone Studies Greg Eghigian Associate Professor of Modern European History Jennifer Boittin Assistant Professor of French, Francophone Studies and History and Josephine Berry Weiss Early Career Professor in the Humanities *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Over the past several decades, the cultural phenomenon of the villages du livre has exploded throughout the Hexagon. Taking their cue from the original book town, Hay-on-Wye, in Wales, rural French communities once in danger of disappearing have reclaimed their economic future and their heritage. Founded in 1961, Hay-on-Wye has served as a model for other towns to establish a used book trade, organize literary festivals, and promote the practice of traditional book arts that include calligraphy, binding, paper-making, and printing. In the French villages du livre of Bécherel (Bretagne), Montolieu (Languedoc), Fontenoy-la-Joûte (Lorraine), Montmorillon (Poitou-Charentes), and La Charité-sur-Loire (Bourgogne), ancillary enterprises such as museums, bookstores, cafés, and small hotels now occupy buildings that had stood vacant for years. -
Concept and Types of Tourism
m Tourism: Concept and Types of Tourism m m 1.1 CONCEPT OF TOURISM Tourism is an ever-expanding service industry with vast growth potential and has therefore become one of the crucial concerns of the not only nations but also of the international community as a whole. Infact, it has come up as a decisive link in gearing up the pace of the socio-economic development world over. It is believed that the word tour in the context of tourism became established in the English language by the eighteen century. On the other hand, according to oxford dictionary, the word tourism first came to light in the English in the nineteen century (1811) from a Greek word 'tomus' meaning a round shaped tool.' Tourism as a phenomenon means the movement of people (both within and across the national borders).Tourism means different things to different people because it is an abstraction of a wide range of consumption activities which demand products and services from a wide range of industries in the economy. In 1905, E. Freuler defined tourism in the modem sense of the world "as a phenomena of modem times based on the increased need for recuperation and change of air, the awakened, and cultivated appreciation of scenic beauty, the pleasure in. and the enjoyment of nature and in particularly brought about by the increasing mingling of various nations and classes of human society, as a result of the development of commerce, industry and trade, and the perfection of the means of transport'.^ Professor Huziker and Krapf of the. -

They point to the particular historical trajectory of interaction of state-making leaders and other social forces, and the divergent authority structure that took shape, as underpinning this difference. In Manipur, where social forces retained their authority, the state’s autonomy was compromised. This affected its capacity, including that to resolve group conflicts. Here powerful social forces politicized their narrow identities to capture state power, leading to competitive mobilisation and conflicts. -
