Abstract:
Urban areas in Ethiopia have been growing very quickly in recent decades, which haveled to ever increasing demand for land in peri-urban areas for housing and other nonagriculturalactivities. This has had several transformative impacts on the transitionalperi-urban, areas including engulfment of local communities and conversion of landrights and use from an agricultural to a built-up property rights system. Peri-urban areasalso display all forms of competition for land among people of diverse backgrounds.Research on the challenges of urbanization in peri-urban land tenure system and theongoing

Abstract:
In developing countries, cities are rapidly expanding, and urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) has an important role in feeding a growing urban population. However, UPA carries risks of zoonotic disease transmission. This study aims to understand the characteristics of UPA in Kampala, Uganda and the zoonotic risks to humans. Following a general overview of the subject in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 describes the determination of urban, peri-urban and rural areas of the Kampala economic zone and socio-economical characteristics of the peri-urban interface compared with the urban and rural counter p

Abstract:
Acoustic recording has recently been identified as an effective tool for monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem health. This study used a novel approach to visually and statistically model the sounds produced within an ecosystem across space and time to identify hot spots and hot moments of biodiversity activity. It was demonstrated that biodiversity can be successfully measured through an integrated approach of ecoacoustic monitoring and highlights the potential to inform future ecological urban design decisions and conservation planning strategies.

This thesis examines role of groundwater in urban development and planning from the point of view of sustainability of the in-situ resource in the long run as an important source to meeting increasing water requirements of urban agglomeration.

The peri-urban fringe is a planning opportunity, which provides services beyond simple human habitat or wasteland of undesirable function. Through this study I intend to present the per

Abstract:
Case studies from Cuba's Urban and Peri-Urban agriculture (UPA) revolution show that urban growing can fuel locally driven production of essential foods with minimal inputs, creating unprecedented opportunities for community food sovereignty. The fact that Cuba produces 60-70% of its vegetable needs on 25% of the land shows that the barriers that UPA faces are more sociopolitical than agronomic. As an agricultural hub with an abundance of rural land within close proximity of the city, the need for UPA in Burlington, VT may not be as readily apparent.

With pressure for change, tensions between people, both inside and outside of the local community become more clearly articulated, as change for some members of the community is an un-welcomed progression.

Urban population growth is comprised of three elements, namely, natural population increase, rural-urban migration and outward movement of people to the urban periphery linked to urban expansion.

Dual land administration systems operate in many peri-urban customary areas in subSaharan Africa (Burns, 2007), yet the rationality behind them is different, and possibly conflicting (Watson, 2003). The conflicting rationalities between the dual systems have created binaries in land administration discourse. Some scholars have promoted statutory land administration systems over customary systems (Hardin, 1968). Many pre-21st century land administration systems theories were purely economy-based, and sought to discredit customary land administration and tenure systems (De Soto, 2000; Peters, 20

Many developing countries face severe challenges with the reliability of water supplies. These supplies are often characterised by intermittence, low pressure and poor water quality. Despite its contribution towards water-related illness and the significant coping burden it imposes on households, water supply reliability remains a difficult attribute to measure. A key challenge is the lack of a universal definition of water supply reliability. The issue of unreliability in water supply and the financial cost it imposes on households is of profound relevance in South Africa – a country whose so

Abstract:
This study explores how current flood management policy-making has been influenced by a lack of accurate knowledge - and the substantial ambiguities that exist as an integral part of the peri-urbanisation phenomenon in South East Queensland, Australia. The central conclusion of this research is that land use management in a flood prone area is directly impacted by the peri-urban phenomenon with its spectrum of ambiguities. It was also found that an understanding of peri-urban characteristics differs substantially amongst key stakeholders, and, combined with both ambiguity and a context of rapi

This research focuses on the city of Guangzhou, which has been – together with other Pearl River Delta municipalities – a pioneer in transforming its urban environment in the last thirty years. The objective of the study is to investigate how recent strategic urban planning visions have affected Guangzhou’s territory, thereby promoting important renovation projects. Chinese urban studies and the international literature have widely examined how this urban revolution has completely altered the landscape’s morphology under the influence of the global market, but at the same time, a lack of under

Abstract:
Analysis of access to water in the global South tends to disproportionately focus on the presence of water infrastructure such as the piped network to estimate the proportion of population that have access to water. While interest in access to water has advanced considerably, less research has focused on practices, strategies and experiences of everyday water access. This study engages with this issue in two neighborhoods, Kpanvo and Katariga, in Tamale, Ghana, exploring the ways in which residents negotiate to access water services in practice. Through participant observations and in-depth in

The lack of diagnosis for the Peri-Urban State leads to uneven distribution
