Abstract:
This bachelor’s degree project was conducted as both a literature study and a Minor Field Study in Fiji. Today, many of Fiji's remote villages are supplied with electricity from diesel generators while others have no electricity at all. The project aims to examine the expected economical, ecological and social benefits of electrification using solar photovoltaic cells (PV). Earlier reports from around the world conclude that PV-systems are fully competitive with diesel generators economically. This study examined whether this was the case for Fiji as well.Among the aspects covered in the repor

With the advancing issues relating to climate change, Fiji amongst other islands are in need of development to address these issues quickly. However, development must also relate to the socio-cultural aspects and avoid pacifying communities in their development.

Abstract:
The transformation period between intrastate civil conflicts has been primarily examined within sporadic case studies. A lack of macro theory in the field of Peacebuilding has led to a predisposition towards policy-friendly academic works. The policy changes and studies that get suggested take advantage of hindsight and are often case specific. Without allowing for the variances in differing post-conflict situations the changes struggle to provide usable theoretical works. This field requires accurate comparative studies, but the dominance of micro theoretical casework has undermined any large

Extensive work remains for Fiji to meet the readiness criteria, which encompass: the role of law for cross-border relocation, institutional capacity, coordination, land availability

Abstract:
With the onset of the independence of the Pacific Island States, the role of the mass media and their developmental processes began to be examined. This was of particular interest due to the obvious lack of a sufficient native media infrastructure to meet the demands of an indigenous population who were being introduced to a new world sphere and system. The main problem of mass media development in the Pacific lies in the fact that the nations in this area are still relatively behind in the basic structures of media participation. They lack technological knowledge of the various forms of media

Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation impacts are no longer a worry for the distant future but a real concern for the present.

For these populations, climate related risks exacerbate other stressors and negatively impact livelihoods, security, and health. For low lying SIDS in particular, an additional fear is that climate change endangers their whole way of life, with their nationhood and culture being slow

Renewable energy technologies have been advocated in Fiji's electricity sector on the basis that they improve energy security and serve as a risk-mitigation measure against oil price increases. This follows a decade of significant oil price volatility and historically high oil prices, which negatively affected the oil-dependent electricity sector in Fiji and other Small Island Developing States in the Pacific.
