Urban Water Demand Management
This open access book highlights knowledge and expertise in Urban Water Demand Management in ASEAN through comprehensive literature review and analysis
Disaster-Related Food Security and Past General Governance Strategies in a Worldwide Sample
Climate change is an increasingly pressing concern because it generates individual and societal vulnerability in many places in the world and also because it potentially threatens political stability. Aside from sea level rise, climate change is typically manifested in local temperature and precipitation extremes that generate other hazards. In this study, we investigated whether certain kinds of governance strategies were more common in societie…
Using a Serious Digital Game to Communicate Drought Risk in Singapore
This experimental study tested the effects of digital tactical messaging on 189 undergraduates’ drought risk responsiveness using a mobile serious game. In the game’s virtual household environment, treatment groups were exposed to message framings informed by risk psychological theories. Drought risk responsiveness was indicated by participants’ in-game water consumption levels. The first intervention entailed treatment groups receiving advisorie…
Capitalising on water soft paths
As social artefacts born out of social and economic aspirations and ideologies, the design and application of critical infrastructures can meaningfully engage or alienate the everyday user; be complicit to the extractive economy or facilitate its sustainable extraction and regeneration; and generate outcomes that are productive for local human capital and community development or otherwise. This study applies a “soft path” interpretation of the s…
The diversity of divestment in Singapore
National and municipal recycling programmes are typically premised on their ability to reduce waste disposed in the landfill. However, a much wider variety of waste divestment conduits - such as trading with informal junk traders, making donations to charity, passing on items to family and friends - co-exist in many urban waste management landscapes. In this paper, we explore the cultures and economies of informal waste divestment practices in Si…
Towards a sustainable future
In 2018, Singapore produced a 7.7 million tonnes of waste, which is a significant amount of waste for a small nation-state. In line with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) targets 11.6 and 12.5 of the 2030 Agenda, which addresses cities’ waste generation and management impacts, we ask the question of why Singapore households are not more proactively engaged in waste minimization, despite the presence of local waste minimization public campai…
Economic Dependency and HIV/Aids Prevalence in the Developing World
The HIV/AIDS pandemic has plagued global society for over three decades. While breakthroughs in antiretroviral treatments (ART) have proven effective in suppressing the virus and HIV/AIDS intervention outreach have widened, epidemic control remains unevenly achieved among countries. At least 95 percent of HIV/AIDS sufferers originate from developing countries. Dependency theory suggests that developing countries' reliance on debt, trade, and fore…
Choice of Energy Paths
Rural energy poverty constitutes a global concern, as it infringes on human well-being and the social and economic development prospects of a country. In recent years, renewable energy has gained increasing traction for its potential to alleviate rural energy poverty in less developed countries (LDCs). Yet despite the value of renewable energy in mitigating energy poverty, no cross-national study that assesses the effects of renewable energy on r…
