Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The society and the economy of India largely operates through rural marketing systems. Rural markets and urban centres represent the cross profile of rural India. India is a country of villages and its real soul lives in her villages with 71% of its total population. Roughly 70% of India's population still draws its succour from agricultural activity and some 45% of its national income still accrues from agricultural sector. Actually agriculture is the stage on which the drama of economic development is enacted and rural marketing thus is intimately bound up with the process of economic development. Rural periodic marketing system are common throughout the less developed countries including India. In the present book the author creditably outlines the cross-section of Indian farmer to reflect country's rural markets and urban centres. Hundreds or even thousands aggregate on a convenient sector for a fraction of a day to exchange their earning an wants to function as a miniature hub of collecting and distributing commodities. The book is an exhaustive study of rural markets and urban centres, whose importance cannot be over emphasised in the rural development and planning in our country. The present book embodies the merit of compliance with the recent trend of studies and research in the discipline of Geography. The spirit of the writing relates in its era and theme coverage the fundamental thrust on aspect s of spatial organisation; the extent and the intensity of interconnection and interdependence among elements of physical and cultural landscape. In this book, Dr Ashok Kumar Sinha presents his pains taking study on field work, original collection of data and assimilation of rural markets an urban centres of the Magadh administrative division of Central Bihar which has a background of ancient history and rich cultural heritage having 91% of its population as rural. His original and methodical interpretation makes it more worthy. An attempt has been made to unroll historical setting of Magadh Division from unknown past to the current century before projecting profile of the project. There are eight meaningful, logical and well balanced chapters, eighty two cartographically sound maps and diagrams, thirty five selected tables, valuable appendices and admirable bibliography which explain geo-economic landscape of the country, various bases of theory and review of hierarchy of rural markets and urban centres, spatio-temporal characteristics, functional and behavioural characteristics of market, analysis of urban centres, micro-geography of sample markets, marketing an rural development. At last in summary and conclusion the author is of the view that marketing and rural development are interlinked without which their projected profiles fail to trace similarity of evolution and development. The zone of research has to be carefully traversed to fathom traders performance. Rural markets not doubt, function as levers of growth. To portray rural markets in their poly-phase, it is essential to balance markets, traders, consumers, goods movement and complexities. Marketing is the biggest problem ever faced by advancing rural industrial sector. A creation of an effective marketing infrastructure is needed to produce products of rural industries. If agriculture function as the heart of economy, rural industries will act as its lungs to balance production of commodities. And their sale on fair price in markets. This book is useful for geographers, sociologists, planners, economists and students of geography and regional studies.

This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of a long-term cooperation between French and East African scholars and universities under the aegis of the French Institute of Research in Africa (IFRA-Nairobi). This book presents the main results of the research program Cooperation for University and Scientific Research (CORUS): Mountains and Small and Medium Cities in East Africa: Environmental Management, Flows of People and Resources, funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Afairs and supported by IFRA-Nairobi. The specific subject is to rethink the development of the East African mountains in relation to the fast growing towns and cities that surround them. Three East-African mountains were chosen: Mount Kenya, Mount Elgon (Ugandan side) and Uporoto Mountains (Tanzania). Comparisons are included, especially with Mount Kilimanjaro, which has been studied in previous books and programs (e.g. Kilimanjaro: Mountain, Memory and Modernity, Mkuki na Nyota, Dar es Salaam, 2006). The authors are East African (Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya) and French scholars, most of them geographers. Made from 12 contributions, this book focuses on a recent change in those mountains: a growing urbanization which shapes new mountain systems. This phenomenon, which is actually a major upheaval, is the focal point of this book, giving rise to this question: what are the links between Rural-Urban evolution in such contexts? What are the impacts on livelihoods and development? This book, covering social and environmental scientific issues relating to Rural-Urban nature, is the first of its kind for African mountains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines different forms of urban-rural links for sustainable development in different countries. As intertwined processes of globalization, digitalization, environmental challenges and the search for sustainable development continue, rural and urban areas around the world become increasingly interconnected and interdependent. This book contributes to understanding the role of this growing interconnectedness from an economic geographical perspective. It does so by theoretically and empirically addressing the various existing linkages, such as food networks, value chains, and regional governance at local, regional, national and international levels. In doing so, contributions extend and contrast existing approaches dealing with urban and rural areas separately by considering the interplay between these two as well as their consequences for sustainability transition pathways. This edited volume adds to the academic and policy debate by bringing together a variety of concepts and themes in order to shift the research and policy agenda away from simple dichotomy to different notions of rural-urban linkages. Offering multidisciplinary insights into rural-urban linkages, the book will be of interest to decision-makers, practitioners and researchers in the fields of economic geography, regional planning, food studies and economics.
