Towards community-driven rural development: Path of women group in empowering rural Women’s capacities and role in rural development
Spatial planning in post-colonial Morocco: An institutional design for decolonization
In recent times, the decolonization of planning systems has garnered significant scholarly attention encouraging the consideration of more diverse contexts. This study uses a historical institutionalist approach to reconstitute the history of planning institutions in the context of Morocco as a former French colony and builds an institutional understanding of the current framing of its practices. It then uses an institutional design approach to p…
Implication of institutional informality in the historical urban evolution of Morocco: Case studies of Fes and Oujda
Juxtaposition and layering; the construction of the Moroccan postcolonial urban identity
Cities develop through the layering of spatial expressions of successive temporalities. Colonial cities, however, are first constructed through the juxtaposition of different social orders. Then, the tangential development of the two orders leads to the layering of distinct spatial expressions of different, but not necessarily successive, temporalities. This essay explores the case of Moroccan cities where the juxtaposition of Moroccan and Europe…
Coastal fishers’ livelihood adaptations to extreme weather events: An analysis of household strategies in Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam
Extreme weather events (EWEs) pose significant threats to fishery-based livelihoods in Quang Ngai (QN) Province, Vietnam. This study describes the types of livelihood adaptations (LAs) that coastal fishers in QN have practiced in response to EWEs and find the varieties in these adaptation strategy choices. In this study, we investigated livelihood adaptation strategies in coastal areas through a household survey and analysis of the collected data…
Planning and Governance in a Postcolonial Context: A Historical Institutionalist Approach to Land Use Planning in Morocco
This study is concerned with the way colonial land use planning practices have persisted within local institutional structures in the former French colony of Morocco. We use a historical institutionalist approach to reevaluate Morocco's land use planning history and identify key feedback mechanisms that support the continuity of colonial practices within the Moroccan planning institutional structure. We used institutional mappings to identify key…

Spatiotemporal Distribution Patterns and Local Driving Factors of Regional Development in Java
Although uneven regional development has long been an issue in Java, most parts of the territory experienced an increased level of development over the last two decades. Due to the variance in local background and spatial heterogeneity, the driving factors of the development level should, theoretically, vary over space. Therefore, in this study, we aim to investigate the local factors that influence the development level of Java’s regions. We use…
Mapping Submerged Aquatic Vegetation along the Central Vietnamese Coast Using Multi-Source Remote Sensing
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the Khanh Hoa (Vietnam) coastal area plays an important role in coastal communities and the marine ecosystem. However, SAV distribution varies widely, in terms of depth and substrate types, making it difficult to monitor using in-situ measurement. Remote sensing can help address this issue. High spatial resolution satellites, with more bands and higher radiometric sensitivity, have been launched recently, inc…
Decadal dynamics and challenges for seagrass beds management in Cu Lao Cham Marine Protected Area, Central Vietnam
Forest Ecosystem Services and Local Communities: Towards a Possible Solution to Reduce Forest Dependence in Bach Ma National Park, Vietnam
Conservation of protected areas is likely to be challenging in the long term if the dependence of local communities on natural resources is not measured appropriately. We investigated forest ecosystem services utilized by communities living around the Bach Ma National Park, Vietnam, and examined their spatial distributions through the integration of data from interviews, participatory mapping, and GIS analysis. The results suggest that provisioni…
Farming cultivates a community-level shared culture through collective activities: Examining contextual effects with multilevel analyses
It has been suggested that the well-known cultural differences in interdependence across cultures are linked to economic activities, such as farming. However, the underlying processes of how such psychological tendencies are shared among people in a society has not been sufficiently investigated. This article addresses the multilevel processes of how psychological characteristics are shared among people. We focus on collective activities that go …
Development of planning index for evaluating climate change protocols: Analysis of Mumbai Metropolitan Region’s Regional Plan 1996–2011
Conserving resources, harmonizing living standards, and employing energy efficient methods are potential solutions to climate change, which can be positively accomplished through development and planning. However, today, as the first world countries advance towards “positive development”, some third world countries are developing in an “unwanted pattern”. The metropolitan cities of developing countries attract most of the country’s population, co…
