Abstract:
This paper examines the rise of low-skilled, low-paying, female dominated jobs in Cameroons information and communication technology (ICT) sector. It seeks to understand why and how women (mostly between the ages of 18 and 35) seem to be naturally drawn to these jobs, described in the literature as pink-collar jobs. Through interviews with ICT workers and observations at ICT training centers and call centers in Buea, a major city in the Southwest Region of Cameroon, the paper explores the factors that hinder womens entry into more technical ICT jobs in Cameroon. It concludes that some of these factors, such as the prior income level of female ICT workers and the absence of female instructors at ICT training centers, further reinforce gender-based job classifications and the rise of ghettoization in Cameroons ICT sector.

Abstract:
The present paper deals with Chinese transnational sex labour migration in the city of Douala, the economic capital of Cameroon and the country’s major city. Based on ethnographic research conducted in the prostitution milieu of Douala between 2008 and 2012, and on information collected from both scholarly and popular literature, this contribution shows how the development in this African city of what can be called Chinese sexoscapes has induced the reconfiguration of the local geography of commercialised sex work, which for so long was dominated by native sex workers. The paper also demonstrates how many disgruntled Duala sex workers dealt with the so-called Chinese sex invasion of their city by relocating their business to popular entertainment areas commonly characterised in Cameroon as rue de la joie (street of enjoyment). The research argues that this local geography of sexualities has become a site for asserting ethnic, racial or national identity, and especially a space of both inclusion of people profiled as autochthon populations and the exclusion of those branded foreigners.

Abstract:
Rural communities in Cameroon have high levels of poverty, poor living conditions and lagging sustainable development. Lack of economic, social and physical infrastructure opportunities make these communities unsustainable and impact the quality of life for residents. Existing conditions render these areas unattractive for visitors and external and local investors. Initiatives to reduce poverty and improve living standards have had limited impact to reducing poverty or improving quality of life. The recent signing of Cameroon’s decentralization law, giving authority for planning and investments to local council governments now provides an opportunity to rethink existing strategies. Using Batibo, a representative community in the north western region of Cameroon, this paper examines the status of development initiatives and identifies new priorities for planning and steps to improve economic status. Guided by the Theory of Ecological Design and Five Pillars of Economic Development, and using a circular city approach, this paper outlines a concept for town planning and architectural flagship projects that can project the image, culture and heritage of the community and strategies for improving markets. With decentralized governance and re-envisioned priorities, Batibo has an opportunity to become a prototype for sustainable development and model of a quality future in rural Cameroon.

Abstract:
This paper explores the implications of state land tenure modernization and urbanization-promotion initiatives for human rights in Cameroon. The aim is to promote understanding of the implications of these initiatives for the right-to-the-city of indigenous urban residents. It is argued that the implications are more severe in politico-administrative headquarters than elsewhere in the country. Three different cities have served, at some point, as national politico-administrative headquarters in Cameroon, the study’s empirical referent. The designation of any city as a politico-administrative headquarters invariably creates a land scarcity problem in that city. The problem is aggravated for the city’s indigenous population by colonial and post-colonial planning policies. For this reason, the policies are said to be in violation of basic human rights as stipulated by the UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights as well as the African Charter.

Abstract:
Context: Like many sub Saharan African cities, Yaoundé is experiencing a faster growth of its population and urban perimeter. The urban population has grown from 812 000 inhabitants in 1987 to 2 100 000 inhabitants in 2006. However, this population growth has not been monitored by the city planners and decision makers. Accordingly, the city is lacking basic urban facilities. such as a good sewage system to evacuate urban waste water. Objective: This paper aims at addressing health consequences resulting from inadequate management of rainwater in Yaoundé. Material and methods: From the data gathered by us in the framework of the PERSAN programme focused on urban health, a cross sectional study has been carried out in 2002 and 2006 across the city. Based on socio-environmental and medical surveys, the study covered neighborhoods and 3 034 households in Yaoundé. Results: It comes out that that the present urban draining network is outdated and ineffective. This has led to increasing fl oods in several sectors of the city, with health hazards. It has been noted that many diarrheal diseases in Yaoundé are related to the poor sanitation resulting from urban waste coupled with standing waters. Conclusion: We are of the opinion that to solve this problem, there is urgent need to set up a new town-planning mechanism which takes into account the city’s demographic and space dynamics.

Abstract:
Bushmeat is a major food and economic resource in sub-Saharan Africa, and with increasing urbanization bushmeat consumption has spread from villages to cities. To facilitate long-term monitoring of the bushmeat market in Yaoundé, Cameroon, we carried out a baseline survey of the transportation routes of bushmeat into the city and of urban bushmeat sales. We inventoried all bushmeat sales points, and located 15 markets and 145 restaurants and cafeterias selling an estimated total of 1,052 bushmeat dishes per day. This trade provides an occupation for 249 people, of whom 84.3% are women. Trains from Ngaoundere in the north and minibuses from the east supply more than 70% of the sales points in the Elig-Edzoa market, located next to the railway, and the Nkoldongo bus station. From these two places bushmeat is redistributed to other commercial sites within the city. The routes into Yaoundé transport bushmeat from a vast area of the country and in particular from the savannah and central provinces, which are rich in wildlife and contain National Parks and safari hunting areas. However, overall, bushmeat consumption at commercial outlets in the city is low relative to the number of inhabitants.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the profile of the wind speed of a Cameroonian city for the very first time, as there is a growing trend for new wind energy installations in the West region of Cameroon. Two well-known artificial neural networks, namely, multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and nonlinear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs (NARX), were used to model the wind speed profile of the city of Bapouh in the West-region of Cameroon. Design/methodology/approach In this work, the profile of the wind speed of a Cameroonian city was investigated for the very first time since there is a growing trend for new wind energy installations in the West region of Cameroon. Two well-known artificial neural networks namely multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and nonlinear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs (NARX) were used to model the wind speed profile of the city of Bapouh in the West-region of Cameroon. The meteorological data were collected every 10 min, at a height of 50 m from the NASA website over a period of two months from December 1, 2016 to January 31, 2017. The performance of the model was evaluated using some well-known statistical tools, such as root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The input variables of the model were the mean wind speed, wind direction, maximum pressure, maximum temperature, time and relative humidity. The maximum wind speed was used as the output of the network. For optimal prediction, the influence of meteorological variables was investigated. The hyperbolic tangent sigmoid (Tansig) and linear (Purelin) were used as activation functions, and it was shown that the combination of wind direction, maximum pressure, maximum relative humidity and time as input variables is the best combination. Findings Maximum pressure, maximum relative humidity and time as input variables is the best combination. The correlation between MLP and NARX was computed. It was found that the MLP has the highest correlation when compared to NARX. Originality/value Two well-known artificial neural networks namely multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and nonlinear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs (NARX) were used to model the wind speed profile.

Abstract:

This research is carried out to explore the factors that influence visitors to choose a particular destination for a visit or the attributes visitors consider necessary to quality a place as a potential destination for a visit. This research is a comparative study on tourism destination marketing conducted in a town in a developed country; Gotland Island in Sweden and a town in a developing country; Limbe city in Cameroon. This research tries test two hypothesis, which were formulated by the researcher.

Hypothesis I; visitors consider particular attributes in a destination before they visit it.

Hypothesis II; some attributes are inevitable in any destination choice decision.

The research contains ideas from 200 respondents, 100 visitors of Gotland Island, and 100 visitors of Limbe City, and the results support both hypothesis. The research also contains a comparison of the attributes visitors consider in Gotland Island and Limbe city. This brings out the factors that would be considered by visitors in a developed country and visitors in developing country.

Full text
Abstract:
Dans les villes moyennes de Garoua et Maroua, au Nord et à l’Extrême Nord du Cameroun, on dit des « chefs », soit des détenteurs de l’autorité à l’échelle d’une famille, d’un quartier, de la cité ou autrefois d’un royaume, qu’ils doivent être « comme des grands tas d’ordures ». Ce proverbe situe ainsi les relations de pouvoir et l’exercice de l’autorité dans un rapport particulier avec la gestion des déchets : le chef doit se montrer patient et hiératique comme un grand dépotoir, lorsqu’il reçoit toutes les insultes et les plaintes de ses sujets comme autant d’immondices ; mais, selon un registre ésotérique développé par les religions locales puis repris dans le cadre musulman, on attend aussi qu’il fasse preuve de la même puissance, magique notamment, que celle dégagée par une grande et ancienne accumulation de déchets. Les conceptions locales des excrétions corporelles, des objets déchus et des restes des activités du quotidien font en effet du contrôle et de la manipulation des déchets un élément majeur d’une « gouvernementalité » (Foucault) particulière. Celle-ci s’opère via des « techniques du corps » et des « techniques de soi » spécifiques autour du détachement entre soi, ses déchets corporels et ses possessions matérielles. L’analyse généalogique des discours et des pratiques de gestion individuelles et institutionnelles des déchets depuis la fondation des deux villes au XVIIIe siècle jusqu’au début du XXIe siècle, marqué par la privatisation de ce service public, permet alors de saisir comment les tas d’ordures dans ce contexte peuvent être considérés comme de véritables « dispositifs de pouvoir » et le contrôle des immondices comme un instrument puissant de gouvernement de soi et des autres
In the middle-size cities of Garoua and Maroua in Northern Cameroon, it is said that “chiefs”, those having authority over a family, a town quarter, a city or, formally, a kingdom, should be « like great trash piles ». This proverb thus posits a privileged link between authority and the exercise of power, and the management of waste: a chief should adopt a patient and hieratic attitude towards the insults and complaints he receives from his subjects like so much filth; but also, in keeping with an esoteric understanding developed by local religions and taken up within an Islamic framework, he is expected to exhibit the magical and other powers that are held to arise from large and ancient heaps of rubbish. In the light of local conceptions relating to bodily excreta, refuse and the residues of daily activities, the control and handling of rubbish appears as an essential component of a distinctive “governmentality” (Foucault). The latter operates though specific “techniques of the body” and “techniques of the self” aimed at disentangling oneself from one’s bodily and material waste products. A genealogical analysis of the discourses and practices of individual and institutional waste management, since the founding of these two cities in the 18th century to the privatisation of this public service at the beginning of the 21st century, shows how, in this context, trash piles act as veritable “devices” of power, and the control of filth as a powerful instrument for governing the self and others

Abstract:
Etudier les processus de légitimations citadines à Douala, capitale économique du Cameroun, au prisme du foncier invite à une analyse des discours et pratiques des habitants afin de négocier leur place en ville – plus ou moins durablement, au regard d’une pluralité d’acteurs. Dans un contexte de situation autoritaire et de forte dichotomie rural-urbain au sein des représentations communes, la citadinité ne va pas de soi à Douala et peut être contestée dans certains cas. Être à Douala et être de Douala ne portent pas le même sens et supposent une reconnaissance de légitimité à occuper l’espace, à l’aune de paramètres identitaires et de pratiques sociales. La confrontation entre trois quartiers – Bonabéri, New-Bell, Akwa – a permis de poser trois regards situés sur les légitimités citadines. Différents registres légitimants sont questionnés, parmi lesquels l’importance de la prise en compte de la dimension identitaire. L’analyse du poids de l’autochtonie dans les représentations citadines et sa traduction spatiale permettent de rendre compte que ce registre de (dé)légitimation est saturant, mais que des marges de manœuvre existent notamment du fait des contours flous de la définition même de cette notion d’autochtonie. Le rapport aux normes officielles est également questionné, plus particulièrement la capacité à jouer, négocier, contourner ces dernières dans un contexte où l’écart est important entre normes officielles et pratiques foncières réelles. L’étude d’un déguerpissement survenu en 2014 montre cependant les limites des stratégies des habitants, révélant un conflit de normes. Les réponses citadines à travers la production matérielle et sociale de l’espace urbain, en contexte marécageux et/ou inondable et face au manque de solutions proposées par l’Etat, deviennent une manière d’interpeller ce dernier
Studying processes of legitimations by city dwellers in Douala, Cameroon’s economic capital, with the prism of land invites to an analysis of the discourses and practices of the inhabitants in order to negotiate their place in the city – more or less durably, with regard to a plurality of actors. Taking into account the authoritarian situation in Cameroon and a strong rural-urban dichotomy within common representations, the citadinité (“is cityness”) in Douala nothing short of a hassle and can be questioned in some cases. To be in Douala and to be from Douala are not the same and this is translated by the recognition - or not - of a legitimacy to occupy space, according to parameters of identity and social practices. The confrontation between three districts - Bonabéri, New-Bell, Akwa - gave us three different viewpoints on city-dwellers' legitimacies.Various legitimizing aspects are questioned, including the importance of taking into account the identity dimension. In this context, analyzing the importance of autochthony in city-dwellers’ representations and translating it spatially shows how, even though this register of (de)legitimation is saturating, room of manoeuvre exists in particular because of this autochthony notion’s fuzzy definition. The relation with official standards is also questioned, considering the ability to play, negotiate, and circumvent them in a context where there are huge discrepancies between official standards and actual land practices. The study of an eviction that occurred in 2014, however, shows the limits of the strategies of the inhabitants, revealing a conflict of norms. The dwellers' answers through the material and social production of the urban space, in a marshy and/or floodable context and faced with the lack of solutions proposed by the State, give rise to an interpellation of the latter

Full text
Abstract:
Les villes Africaines connaissent de multiples transformations liées à la recherche d’un développement économique, à l’intégration mondiale des préoccupations environnementales, à la recherche d’une unité nationale et d’une cohésion sociale. Toutes ces dynamiques attirent de plus en plus les populations des campagnes vers la ville et favorisent ainsi une urbanisation rapide. L’une des conséquences est l’étalement urbain qui s’accompagne de la bidonvilisation c'est-à-dire de la juxtaposition de quartiers précaires. Au Cameroun, les documents de planification urbaine ne sont pour la plupart établis qu’après appropriation de l’espace par les populations. Cela questionne principalement la capacité des acteurs institutionnels en charge de la gestion de ces villes à développer des stratégies d’anticipation dans les allocations foncières. Pourtant, ces villes dont les plus importantes sont Yaoundé et Douala, ont pour principaux enjeux : la consolidation d’une planification retardataire et la transcription des préceptes du développement durable au sein de leurs aménagements. Cependant, il subsiste dans cette mouvance une rupture idéologique entre les visions stratégiques d’aménagement urbain portées par les pouvoirs publics (l’Etat) et les pratiques urbaines locales issues des populations (citadins) dont les attentes sont autres. Les formes d’appropriations traditionnelles différentes de ces dernières créent une impression de ruralité urbaine rejetée pour les pouvoir publics qui ne désirent pour toute urbanité que celle portée par la communauté mondiale, influencée par les préceptes du développement durable. Cette rupture selon notre analyse est celle qui donne aux villes camerounaises une segmentation morphologique. Aussi, l’influence occidentale n’est maintenue qu’aux travers des aides financières et parfois techniques, c'est-à-dire que la motivation première des Etats Africains, en situation de précarité financière depuis la crise des années 80, par rapport à leur inscription aux préoccupations environnementales mondiales repose sur la notion d’aide au développement : sur la croyance africaine à l’Occidentsauveur. Il est donc question de savoir quelle durabilité est à l’œuvre au Cameroun : quels acteurs pour quelle ville durable ?
African cities are currently at the heart of many transformations as a result of political dynamics, the search for economic development, the global integration of environmental concerns, the quest for national unity and social cohesion. All these dynamics attract more people from the countryside to the city and thus promote rapid urbanization. This results to urban sprawl and shantytowns which are the juxtaposition of precarious neighborhoods. This mainly questions the capacity of the institutional actors in charge to develop strategies of anticipation in land allocations. The biggest cities (Yaoundé and Douala) of the countryoscillate between the consolidation of an outdated urban planning and the transcription of the sustainable development precepts. However, there remains in this movement an ideological break between the strategic visions of urban development carried by the public authorities (the State) and local urban practices from (urban) populations whose expectations are different. Different forms of traditional appropriation of the latter create an impression of urban rurality shocking the public authorities who desire the world community largely influenced by the precepts of sustainable development. This break according to our analysis, gives to theCameroonian cities, although influenced by the precepts of sustainable development, a morphological segmentation. Also, Western influence is maintained only through financial and sometimes technical aid, meaning that the primary motivation of African states, in a situation of financial precariousness since the crisis of 80s, compared their inclusion in globalenvironmental concerns based on the notion of aid: the African belief in the West-savior. It is therefore important to know the type of sustainability in Cameroon: Which actors for which sustainable city ?

Full text
Abstract:
Catherine the Great, The Empress of Russia, considered herself to be an enlightened ruler. Like many enlightened minds of the eighteenth century, she was fascinated with classical antiquity, especially with ancient Rome. In 1779, she invited a Scottish architect named Charles Cameron to complete a series of building projects for her that would create a "second Rome" in Tsarskoye Selo and in Pavlovsk, Russia. Cameron, an expert on classical antiquity because of his studies of the Roman ruins and the publication of his book, The Baths of the Romans, had a special interest in and a dedication to classical antiquity, desiring to make Catherine's Rome as "authentic" as possible. Cameron's expertise was not the only reason why Catherine hired him and made him her imperial architect; Catherine was also fascinated with his background as a Scottish aristocrat and the leader of the Lochiel clan in exile. However, Cameron falsified his identity as a Highlander to make himself more attractive to Catherine; in addition, his own skill in creating an entirely new identity made him more qualified to produce a simulation of Rome that would seem real. Catherine's fascination with Cameron could also be explained by the fact that both Catherine and Cameron were foreigners trying to validate their presence in Russia through their identities. But regardless of Cameron's true identity, his wonderful buildings are great contributions to the eighteenth century neoclassicism.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to highlight and investigate lack of basic services on city tourism in Bamenda from a national and an international stakeholders’ perspective. The study also aims to explore potential solutions and suggest improvements that can make Bamenda more competitive as a tourist destination. Basic services focused on has been insecurity, infrastructure shortage and unskilled personnel on tourism sub industries, electricity outages and unstable internet supply. To understand the scope of, the problem, a qualitative method approach was used whereby thirty-seven persons were interviewed. The respondents were adult males and females between the age range 38- 50 who have years of working experience and academic background that ranged from bachelor’s degree to Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D). The study identified government negligence in providing needed infrastructure and services as some of the biggest setbacks to the smooth functioning of the tourism industry in Bamenda. It was surprisingly realized that Bamenda has a diverse culture capable of attracting many international tourists as well as a very dynamic population. Additionally, it was noted that there is a devastating crisis of identity in the Cameroons that has brought tourism to near zero.

Abstract:
In the global HIV/AIDS pandemic, men who have sex with men (MSM) have experienced high levels of infection. Consequently, this population is considered a crucial target for prevention, care, and treatment efforts. In sub-Saharan Africa, however, most HIV transmission occurs via heterosexual intercourse, and 60% of HIV cases are women. African HIV epidemics are thus classified as “heterosexual” phenomena, and MSM are rarely targeted by public health programming. Epidemiological studies now show that African MSM often have greater HIV prevalence than the general population. Behavioral research further indicates elevated sexual risk and low prevention-related knowledge levels among these men. Moreover, denial, stigmatization, and criminalization of male homosexual conduct across Africa have created social climates in which MSM remain “hidden,” fearing rejection or arrest. This has heightened their vulnerability to HIV infection. To counteract this trend, public health advocates call for prevention interventions adapted to the needs of African MSM. In a few countries, local NGOs have begun mobilizing around the “MSM issue.” However, little information exists about HIV prevention among MSM in sub-Saharan Africa and the associations undertaking it. Using a case study of one such association – Alternatives-Cameroun – this project aimed to explore the factors affecting design and implementation of HIV prevention interventions for MSM in Cameroon. Homosexual conduct is illegal in Cameroon, and MSM are frequently harassed and arrested. Nonetheless, Alternatives-Cameroun has launched prevention programming that reaches “hidden” MSM and addresses their unique characteristics. Through qualitative research involving stakeholder interviews and personal observation, this project found that local, national, and international factors all influence choices of intervention content and delivery formats. Interventions are designed by Cameroonian MSM, for Cameroonian MSM, but are also informed by empirical research and outreach principles drawn from other contexts. Implementation is a challenge in Cameroon’s hostile and resource-poor environment: stakeholders bear physical, emotional, and financial burdens during outreach. However, internal dynamics and foreign support help Alternatives-Cameroun mitigate these obstacles. This project reveals that understanding local realities and reinforcing multi-sectoral mobilization around MSM issues are important first steps towards launching HIV prevention interventions for MSM in sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract:
I am a female from Africa and am 27 years old. I was born in a small remote village called Bangolan in the Babessi subdivision of the Ngoketunjia division, in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. I was born into a small family where I am the only child. However, I grew up in a large extended family with more than 10 members. My mom was and still is a petty trader in food items. I grew up in the village during early childhood with my grandparents, who were local farmers, because my mother was in the city struggling to raise finances to help the family; she was the first child and the only breadwinner in the family. A few years into my primary education, I left the village to stay with my uncle in the city of Yaounde, where I continued my primary education. While in the city, I trekked for a long distance every day—from the outskirts of the city, where we lived, to the center of the town, where my school was located. Although it was painful, it gave me courage and strengthened me as a child. Also, my uncle was busy so I was left to myself to struggle with the home as well as my assignments. All of these challenges, coupled with the farming I did in the village as a small girl, built me into a tough and courageous woman. It actually served as a bedrock for the challenges I faced later in life....

Abstract:
Cameroon is found in Central Africa and is bordered by Nigeria, Chad, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of Congo. Due to its strategic location, Cameroon is the maritime gateway for commercial goods to the landlocked region of Central Africa (Chad, Central African Republic, and northern Congo). It has an area of 475,442 square kilometres (km) and has a population of 23.4 million inhabitants. Its capital is Yaoundé, but the largest city in terms of population and economic importance is Douala, where the main seaport and the busiest airport of Cameroon, Douala International Airport, are found. The autonomous port of Douala represents 80–85 per cent of the maritime transport of Cameroon and is the largest port in the CEMAC (Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa). A secondary airport is found in Yaoundé, the Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport.

Abstract:
The uncontrolled urbanization in African cities with inadequate access to urban domestic waste, housing and sanitation management services (DWHSMS) generates landscapes that become places of the spread of many pathologies leading to many public health problems. The city of Yaoundé (Cameroon) is not an exception in this situation which exposes an urban population to the most recurrent diseases. The situation become more complex in the fact that, the performance of the policies and the actions undertaken implied in developing countries, is not known in a precisely. The information sources are dispersed, old and not coordinated. ICT can, at the service of the great causes like the sustainable urbanization and/or environmental health, constitute the irreplaceable ones and essential decision-making tools. For this purpose, integrated and interoperable YUSIIP platform has proposed and deployed. The objective of this article is to present this Domestic platform and to show its contribution in (DWHSMS).
