Harmonizing nature-based solutions with grey infrastructure toward coastal resilience: An experience from Wonokerto, Indonesia
Nature-based solutions (NbS) and grey infrastructure have traditionally been implemented separately to address environmental and societal challenges in vulnerable regions like the northern coast of Java, Indonesia. This research examines the extent to which the integration of NbS and grey infrastructure can be sustainably operationalized to promote coastal resilience in the northern coast of Wonokerto District. It focuses on stakeholder collabora…
Beyond the blinkered gaze: A review of political and gendered perspectives to approach a ‘social economy’ in dried fish production
Transition pathways from vulnerability to viability of small‐scale fisheries in Africa and Asia
This perspective paper examines transition pathways that move small‐scale fisheries from vulnerability towards viability. We understand ‘vulnerability to viability transition pathways’ as integrative and one that extends beyond economic concerns to include social, political, cultural and ecological aspects of small‐scale fisheries. Our findings draw on a reflexive and qualitative assessment of country‐specific case studies from across Africa and …
Gender, Labor, and Everyday Life in Dried Fish Production: Treading Three “Paths” in the Indian Sundarbans
This study explores a gendered dimension of labor in enmeshed household and subsistence work of women in dried fish production in the Indian Sundarbans. It follows three groups—fish processors, hajira , and traders representing three crisscrossing “paths” of women fishworkers in dried fish economy, to note their distinctive experiences of labor and how it is organized through repetitive, routinized, and simultaneous tasks across space and time. D…
From ‘piecemeal efforts’ to ‘policy inclusion’: Exploring women's climate vulnerabilities and resilience in coastal mangrove communities of the Indian Sundarbans
Negotiated urbanism: Polychromatic encounters within the world-class restructuring of Delhi, India’s capital city
Fluid Geographies: Water, Science, and Settler Colonialism in New Mexico
Whose habitat? Exploring human-tiger conflict in the riskscapes of the Indian Sundarbans
The Indian Sundarbans, the world's largest littoral mangrove stretch, draws attention in scientific discourses, being an ecosystem vulnerable to global climate change and a biodiversity hotspot governed under institutionalized protected area management. The Sundarbans are well-known as the world's only coastal mangrove habitat of the man-eating Royal Bengal Tigers. This UNESCO World Heritage Site often features in media coverage and popular disco…
(En)countering an urban riverscape: Ethno-graphic explorations on the Adi Ganga
From vulnerability to viability: A situational analysis of small-scale fisheries in Asia and Africa
Small-scale fisheries (SSF) support over 90% of the 120 million people engaged in capture fisheries globally. Despite their contributions, SSF communities are often economically and politically marginalised, are highly vulnerable to change, and until recently, remained largely invisible in policy debates in most countries and internationally. This paper undertakes a situational analysis of 12 countries with significant small-scale fisheries (i.e.…
Thermal Adaptations in Indian Houses: Insights from the Diverse Climates of Tiruchirapalli
This study investigates how the residents in Tiruchirapalli, India adapt to extreme summer temperatures within residential buildings, focusing on the hottest hours of the day. The research aims to understand adaptive behaviors to reduce dependence on mechanical heating and cooling systems, emphasizing the importance of innovative building designs
From trash to treasure: Advancing the socio-ecological practice of rag picking for sustainable development in the Chandannagar town of Hooghly, West Bengal, India
Beyond (Un)Stable: Chars as Dynamic Destabilisers of Problematic Binaries
Until recently, river islands have been neglected in island studies and river/water scholarship. We address this research gap by focusing on the 'fluidscape' of the Lower Ganga Basin, West Bengal, India. Drawing empirical insights on chars (river islands) of the River Ganga, located upstream and downstream of the Farakka Barrage, we present lives and livelihoods in this 'ever-shifting landscape' and demonstrate how the barrage project led to tran…
Understanding Heritage Conservation from Project Management Perspectives: Case Study Chandannagar
Historic buildings and structures that formerly served as the collective identity of a town are being demolished haphazardly, making way for global architectural icons. It will not be an exaggeration to say that our existence, evolution and collective identity depend on the built structures that we inhabit and artefacts that are seamlessly woven with intangible memories, stories and ethos. Chandannagar, a city located in the Hooghly district sof …
Sustainable and ‘smart’ restructuring around the making of mega and world-class cities in India: A critical review
Living systems infrastructure” of Kolkata: Exploring co-production of urban nature using historical urban political ecology (Hupe)
Capital investment-laden green blue infrastructures (GBI) are being globally celebrated as harbingers of urban resilience to address environmental risks. These technocratic designs exclude historical and micro-political processes shaping urban environments. It is within this context that exposure to social sciences frameworks remains significant. Here, I formulate and deploy historical urban political ecology (HUPE) to explore the mutual relation…
Solid waste management through multi-criteria decision making: Using analytic hierarchy process as an assessment framework for the Hooghly district, West Bengal
Histories of Urban Deltascapes: A Comparison of Arles and Kolkata
Delta cities are exposed to cycles of fluvial risks that have been managed across space and time. Floods and flood mitigation in urban deltascapes are therefore dependent on territorial and historicised dynamics. This paper uses historical urban political ecology (HUPE) to unravel the changing interactions between biophysical and political-economic processes affecting urban deltascapes in particular periods from the sixteenth century onwards. We …
Nature, Culture and Oriental Heritage: Ethnographic Explorations on Patua and Chhau Communities of Bengal
A culturally vibrant country like India has multiple embedded forms of folk traditions accompanied by an essentially rich history that is constituted by a cultural–ecological heritage. West Bengal, one of the eastern states of India, is inhabited by numerous ecosystem-dependent communities. Nature, culture, and livelihoods remain deeply entangled in the indigenous practices, blurring concrete boundaries that separate tangible from intangible heri…
When hydrosociality encounters sediments: Transformed lives and livelihoods in the lower basin of the Ganges River
The hydrosocial cycle is a central analytical framework in political ecological approaches to water. It helps foreground multiple and subtle interactions between water and society, culture and politics. However, to date it has dealt little with matters other than water flows. In river contexts, biotic and abiotic components play critical roles in the way people engage with and make a living out of rivers, beyond water. This article aims to advanc…
Water trajectories through non-networked infrastructure: Insights from peri-urban Dar es Salaam, Cochabamba and Kolkata
For many urbanites, infrastructural uncertainty refers to ‘predictable shocks’ rather than constituting a quotidian experience. By contrast, for the peri-urban poor, the sources of uncertainty underpinning water and sanitation services are endless: uncertainty about cost, about being evicted and indeed about ever becoming connected to networked systems.Drawing on a number of case studies, we argue that across the urban global south, the future is…
