Why do people go to nature? Enhancing the recognition and scope of cultural ecosystem services in landscape
The cultural ecosystem services (CES) framework allows to systematically analyse non‐material human–nature relationships and can help to increase the recognition and scope of various intangible place‐based values. Although the amount of scientific literature addressing CES has increased over the last few decades, studies largely focus only on a limited portfolio of ‘prominent’ CES categories. The objective of this study was to explore a broad ran…
Below-Median Development Indicators
Striving for inclusive development requires looking beyond national averages to the outcomes of those who are being left behind. This paper introduces a flexible class of below-median development indicators and demonstrates the idea with the Human Development Index (HDI). We re-engineer the HDI into a Below-median Human Development Index (BHDI), computing bottom-half (BHDI-50) and bottom-quartile (BHDI-25) scores for 117 countries. The new index …
Inequalities and Social Capital as Factors of Subjective Well-Being
Understanding well-being’s complexities, including its subjective and context-dependent nature, is crucial for informing policy decisions and development interventions aimed at enhancing quality of life and reducing poverty. Unfortunately, subjective well-being (SWB) research, particularly in the context of Global South, has received relatively less attention, despite its fundamental importance in the field of human development. This research aim…
The Livelihood of Artisanal and Small-Scale Miners and Awareness of the Use of 3T Minerals in Rwanda—A Case Study in the Rutsiro District
This article examines the impact of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) on livelihood in mining communities in Rwanda (Rutsiro) where wolframite and coltan are mined. The paper discusses the development of ASM and other entrepreneur activities, in particular agriculture. With ASM activities, there is environmental degradation on the one hand but also an improvement in the well-being of the local population on the other. The 3T (tin, tungsten, …
One step ahead? The use of foresight by Czech and Slovak non-governmental organizations
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are generally recognized as important actors in societies, fulfilling diverse sets of roles. Given the nature of their work and the complexity of the fast-changing contexts in which they operate, foresight techniques can potentially be useful in helping them prepare for future disruptions and maximize the positive influence of their work over future developments. The possibilities for and benefits of the appl…
Land tenure security and its implications for investments to urban agriculture in Soweto, South Africa
Measuring the Middle Class in Africa - Income Versus Assets Approach
Traditionally, economists measure middle class from the income perspective. Considering quality of data for many African countries, relying solely on income may, unfortunately, lead to an incorrect picture. This article compares and analyses the African middle class measured by income and by ownership of assets. Results indicate that middle class sizes differ significantly in some countries, while in others they are more or less the same. Regress…
Measuring development with inequality
The Importance of Variables in Composite Indices
Economic Growth and Human Development in Developing Countries
The paper analyses the relationship between economic growth and human development in developing countries. While the former is often perceived as a necessary precondition for successful human development, the latter is regarded to be the main development objective. However, the link between economic growth and human development seems to be more complex. According to Ranis et al. (2000) the relationship is two-sided and mutually reinforcing, so in…
Measuring Pro-Poor Growth
The paper analyzes the theory and construction of four indicators of pro-poor growth and applies them to Bangladesh over two time periods, 2000-2005 and 2005-2010. The following indicators were used: pro-poor growth index (Kakwani and Pernia, 2000), poverty equivalent growth rate (Kakwani and Son, 2008), poverty growth curve (Son, 2004), and the rate of pro-poor growth (Ravallion and Chen, 2003). Applied to Bangladesh, the results of the four ind…
