Download or read book Of Hoarding and Housekeeping written by Sasha Newell and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2023-10-13 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hoarding has largely been approached from a psychological and universal perspective, and decluttering from an aesthetic and ecological one, while little work has been done to think about the cultural and global economic aspects of these phenomena. Of Hoarding and Housekeeping provides an anthropological, global, and comparative angle to the understanding of hoarding and decluttering using cases from a variety of countries including US, Japan, India, Cameroon, and Argentina. Focusing on the house, with careful attention to material flows in and out, this book examines practices of accumulation, storage, decluttering, and waste as practices of kinship and the objects themselves as material kin.

Download or read book Meeting Development Goals in Small Urban Centres written by Un-Habitat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half of the world's people live in urban areas, and roughly a third of these live in desperate poverty without access to basic amenities. Taking on the themes of UN-HABITAT's Water and Sanitation in the World's Cities (2003), this new volume focuses on the deficiencies in the provision of water and sanitation where most of the populations of the developing world live: in towns and small cities. Drawing on extensive unpublished research and 15 commissioned papers from experts involved in designing and implementing innovative projects around the world, this is the first major study of the problems facing the smaller urban centres that are recognized to be of enormous importance by governments, international agencies, NGOs and service providers. Tackling these problems is a crucial part of development and of good governance, and critical to meeting the Millennium Development Goals. The volume will be essential reading for all professionals and researchers in the relevant fields and a valuable resource for teachers and students of urban development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In developing countries, access to the adequate sanitation systems is still limited, and a new business model is required. This book demonstrates the benefits of resource-oriented agro-sanitation systems, including the concepts and technologies, and using selected case studies, e.g. from Burkina Faso and Indonesia, it illustrates the different applications of the system. It also discusses various aspects related to resource-oriented agro-sanitation system, including resource-recovery technologies for feces, urine and grey water, business models for installation, and agricultural issues related to uses of urine and compost. Promoting installation of sanitation systems, especially in developing countries, the book is intended for water and sanitation engineers, administrators, policy makers and regulators. It also provides multidisciplinary insights, making it a useful resource for students and researchers.

Download or read book Development and Cities written by David G. Westendorff and published by Oxfam. This book was released on 2002 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Explores the political, social, economic, and environmental viability of new or alternative approaches to urban development in the South * Considers how these approaches can increase access to decision-making forums, to adequate services, and to health and prosperity for all. * Case studies include cities in Argentina, Cuba, India, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe Growing numbers of the world’s poorest people live in cities, in poor-quality housing on dangerous sites, lacking even basic services. In many countries, budgetary constraints, structural adjustment processes, increasing wealth inequalities, and lack of popular participation in governance are worsening the position of the urban poor. Approaches to sustainable development in cities of the South have focused too exclusively on narrow technical aspects of environmental protection, with no benefit to most residents in cities and peri-urban areas. Development and Cities focuses on the political, social, and economic viability of new or alternative approaches to urban management in the South that aim to increase access to adequate levels of basic services and healthy living and working conditions for all.
Download or read book R voltes et oppositions dans un r gime semi autoritaire written by Mathieu Hilgers and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2010 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les régimes semi-autoritaires ont souvent été décrits sous l'angle de leur organisation, formelle et informelle ; on sait qu'ils autorisent la liberté d'association, le pluralisme politique, que les médias libéralisés y façonnent un espace public et qu'en même temps, des dispositifs non officiels rendent l'alternance pratiquement impossible. La démocratie et ses élections constituent une façade qui confère au régime sa légitimité sans l'exposer au risque de la compétition politique. Ce qu'il importe de documenter plus précisément. aujourd'hui, c'est la manière dont ces transformations institutionnelles (nouveaux pouvoirs locaux, élections, liberté d'association et de la presse...) rendent possibles et façonnent un espace imaginaire et pratique au sein duquel s'élabore une critique du pouvoir établi. La question est donc de savoir comment s'opèrent les oppositions de consciences et de pratiques, les insubordinations et les révoltes vis-à-vis du pouvoir dans un contexte où leur légitimité n'est pas remise en cause mais où elles aboutissent rarement aux résultats espérés. Qu'advient-il des oppositions frustrées ? Comment les transformations institutionnelles, même neutralisées, insufflent-elles un dynamisme politique ? Et quel dynamisme ? L'objectif de cet ouvrage est d'apporter quelques éléments de réponses à ces questions en partant d'études de cas menées au Burkina Faso. Outre une contribution à l'analyse des régimes semi-autoritaires, ce livre propose un aperçu à la fois synthétique et détaillé de la situation politique du pays.
Download or read book Entrepreneurs Et Entreprises en Qu te de Normes written by Maud Saint-Lary and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2009 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les contextes de crise et d'ultraliberalisme qui traversent l'Afrique aujourd'hui faconnent un grand nombre d'entrepreneurs d'un nouveau genre : ils ne sont pas forcement des commercants, des promoteurs, des petits patrons ou des businessmen du secteur informel, ils evoluent dans d'autres mondes sociaux. Qu'il s'agisse de l'art, de l'enseignement ou du religieux, ces univers produisent des entrepreneurs qui savent innover, gerer des contraintes, developper des strategies d'accumulation et faire preuve d'un veritable savoir faire managerial. Le parti pris de cet ouvrage est de considerer que la faculte d'entreprendre ne releve pas du seul champ economique, mais s'etend a d'autres spheres d'actions (politique, culturelle, religieuse, sociale) presentees comme vecteurs d'innovation.
