Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As a result of urbanisation in the South Pacific area, increasing population shift to bigger cities gives more and more rise to health problems of housing, pollution, environmental sanitation, and traffic accidents. New epidemiological patterns are created. Special attention is drawn to the results of urbanisation in the field of food and nutrition. Malnutrition, dental caries, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases are the inevitable consequences of the change in traditional food patterns. Social consequences of urbanisation such as mental health problems due to acculturation, delinquency, alcoholism and prostitution also affect directly the health of the population. To remedy the undesirable conditions created by increasing urbanisation, there is an immediate need for long-term planning in the fields of social welfare and public health. This paper records existing figures on these various aspects of urbanisation and on available health facilities in some urban areas of the South Pacific territories, originating mostly from territorial health reports. However, positive aspects of urbanisation do exist. Some of the reasons given by Pacific islanders for moving to an urban setting are briefly considered"--Summary.

Book excerpt: "The issues of urban change, and of environmental degradation have long been of concern to geographers with our strong emphasis on human/environmental relationships. Spatial inequalities, as reflected in the distribution of well-being are also a major focus for human geographers. In the Pacific Islands rapid changes occuring in the urban areas are obvious in deteriorating ernvironments and in increasing poverty amongst disadvantaged groups. This book on urban poverty and environment arose out of research carried out in the Pacific over the past decade ... The material presented here is partly original research (particularly Chapter V), and partly material which is largely unpublished, such as internatinal and regional agency and consultancy reports, largely inaccessible to the general public ..."--Preface

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing rapid urban growth presents a significant challenge in the small independent countries of the Pacific Islands. Although they originated in colonial times, the towns and cities are now distinctively post-colonial, with economies, environments and social structures that reflect unique island characteristics. This transformation has stimulated new concerns, such as the causes and effects of pollution, the need for employment for landless migrants, the need for adequate and affordable housing and the financing of expanding urban services. This book explores the diversity of the urban experience in the ten independent island states, focusing on strategies to secure long term sustainable development.

This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication seeks to explain the nature of settlements termed “urban villages” as set within the context of growing levels of urbanization in contemporary Pacific towns and cities. It investigates the meaning and conceptualization of myriad forms of urban villages by examining the evolution of different types of settlement commonly known as native or traditional villages, and more recently squatter and informal settlements. It views village-like settlements such as squatter and informal settlements as a type of urban village, and examines the role these and other urban villages play in shaping and making the Pacific town and city and arguably, the Pacific village city. It presents key actions that Pacific countries and development partners need to consider as part of urban and national development plans when rethinking how to conceptualize the ongoing phenomena of urban villages while achieving a more equitable distribution of the benefits of urbanization.
