  • Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in Nepal's Protected Areas Public Disclosure Authorized
    Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in Nepal's Protected Areas Public Disclosure Authorized Environmental and Social Management Framework Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized National Trust for Nature Conservation GPO Box 3712, Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal May 2020 Executive Summary 1. Description of the Project: Tourism is one of the major contributors to the sustainable economy of Nepal. The direct contribution of the tourism sector in the national GDP was at 4% in 2017 and is forecasted to rise by 3.8% per annum to reach 4.2% in 2028 (World Travel and Tourism Council, 2018). Despite tremendous growth potential in tourism sector, Nepal stands as a low-cost tourist destination with much lower daily tourist spending than the regional average. This is a high time for Nepal to think about and harness high value nature-based tourism. Nature based tourism is a key driver of Nepal's tourism, providing the sector both comparative and competitive advantages in the unique setting of rich topographic, biological and cultural diversity. In this context, the World Bank is supporting GoN to implement the project entitled “Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in Nepal’s Protected Areas (STENPA)". Project Destinations: The project focuses on areas with Nature-Based Tourism (NBT) potential with the aim of piloting a sustainable tourism approach that can be replicated across Nepal’s protected areas (PAs). The project destinations include PA at their core, nearby gateway cities and surrounding areas with NBT potential, and has identified six PAs as the initial project destinations (Bardia, Banke Shukla Phanta and Rara National Parks, and their buffer zones; and Annapurna and Manaslu conservation Areas).

  • Participatory Ranking of Fodders in the Western Hills of Nepal

(2020). This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial 4.0 International License. ABSTRACT Fodder is an important source of feed of the ruminants in Nepal. In the mid hills of Nepal, farmers generally practice integrated farming system that combines crop cultivation with livestock husbandry and agroforestry. Tree fodders are good sources of protein during the forage and green grass scarcity periods especially in dry season. Local communities possess indigenous knowledge for the selection of grasses and tree fodders at different seasons in mid hills of western Nepal. A study was conducted on the perception of farmers with respect to selection of fodder species in eight clusters in Kaski and Lumjung districts that range 900-2000 meter above sea level and receive average precipitation of 2000- 4500mm per annum. During the fodder preference ranking, farmers prepared the inventory of fodders found around the villages and nearby forests and selected top ten most important fodders in terms of their availability, palatability, fodder yield, milk yield and milk fat yield.

  • Typology and Distribution in Pokhara Lekhnath Metropolitan City
    The Geographical Journal of Nepal Vol. 11: 25-44, 2018 Central Department of Geography, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal Open space: Typology and distribution in Pokhara Lekhnath metropolitan city Ramjee Prasad Pokharel1*; and Narendra Raj Khanal2 1Department of Geography, Prithvi Narayan Campus, Pokhara (Tribhuvan University) Nepal; 2Central Department of Geography, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal (*Corresponding Author: [email protected]) Open space is essential part of city life because it provides an opportunity for recreation, playing, religious activities, political activities, cultural activities and so on. This paper discusses the types of open space and its distribution in Pokhara Lekhanath Metropolitan City (PLMC). An inventory of open spaces was prepared based on the available analog maps with intensive field verification. There are eight major and 32 subtypes of open spaces with a total number of 246 within the PLMC. The main types of open spaces are park, playground, religious site, water surface, cave, aesthetic view point, river strip and messy places. Those open spaces vary in form, size, ownership and functions. The distribution of open spaces is not uniform among the 33 Wards in the Pokhara Lekhanath Metropolitan City. The number of open space varies from only one to twenty-one and total area of open space varies from only 51 ha to 4786 ha among those Wards. Per capita area of open space ranges from 0.16 to 659 m2 among those wards. In many wards, per capita area of open space is less than 9 m² which is recommended by FAO. Such a poor situation is created mainly due to the lack of public land use planning, encroachment in open space for development of infrastructure such as public buildings, and lack of knowledge about the importance of open spaces among decision makers and local people and weak capacity of local people to protect and conserve open space from encroachment.

  • 11 Amrit Banstola
    The Journal of Nepalese Business Studies Vol. IV No. 1 Dec. 2007 Prospects and Challenges of E-banking in Nepal Amrit Banstola ABSTRACT Financial Institutions are slowly moving from Brick and Mortar (Physical branches) to click and Brick (E-banking). ATM's are the most popular electronic delivery channel for banking services in Nepal. Only few customers are using internet banking facilities. Nepalese financial institutions till date have not faced any kind of electronic fraud or risk. Banks have basic security tools like firewall, lightening/power surge protection. But it is found that the some banks are in lack of having regular back up of website information and E-banking policy. Nepalese banks are using E-banking for their own convenience and for the purpose of retaining exiting customers. The cost analysis of most of the banks in Nepal is seems to be either inadequate or not applied due to their narrow space of business transaction or lack of sufficient tools. No significant correlation was found between use of E-bank- ing and gender, marital status or salary of customer. However, Use of E-banking signification asso- ciation was found with age and education. Keywords: E-banking, Tele-banking, PC Banking, Internet Banking, Mobile Banking Across the globe, but specifically in Nepal, current trend in private banking has been the consumer movement from traditional branch banking to more stand-alone banking. In other words, a move towards using e-delivery channels such as the Internet, telephone and mobile phones. Many banks are beginning to deliver credit and deposit products electroni- cally.

  • Evolution of Municipalities in Nepal
    EVOLUTION OF MUNICIPALITIES IN NEPAL: CHALLENGES AND PLANNING Gopi Krishna Pandey INTRODUCTION Urban center is an index of transformation from traditional rural economics to modern industrial unit. It is a long term process. It is progressive concentration of population in urban unit. Kingsley Davis has explained urbanization as a process of switch from spread out pattern of human settlements to one of concentration in urban centers. It is a finite process of cycle through which all nations pass as they evolve from agrarian to industrial society (Davis and Golden, 1954). In a more rigorous sense, urban center is such a place where exchange of services and ideas; a place for agro processing mills or small scale industries; a place for community and production services; a place for fair or hat (periodic market) or social gatherings; and place for transport service or break of bulk service. All these activities act as complement to each other, and are considered as a total strength of market force. Urban center is the foci of development activities for the rural development. Historical accounts show that some of the urban centers are in increasing trend and decreasing the number of commercial units. The urban centers which is located at the transportation node have chance to rapidly grow. Nepal is undergoing a significant spatial transition. It is both the least urbanized country in South Asia with about 17 percent of its population living in urban areas (based on 2011census data, CBS, 2011) and the fastest unbanning country with an average population growth rate of about 6 percent per year since the 1976s.
