This chapter introduces the idea of the village study as a lens through which to examine and learn about economic development. The particular advantages of longitudinal village studies—tracking the village and its inhabitants over time—are described. The specific features of the Palanpur study, which make it unique and particularly valuable amongst longitudinal village studies in India, are highlighted. Amongst these are the long—seven-decade—duration of the study, the universal coverage of the village population, the wealth and quality of the quantitative data that has been collected, as well as the complementary availability of detailed qualitative information. The chapter reviews lessons for the general practice of household survey data collection and survey methods from the specific experience of the Palanpur study, highlighting the value of credibility and building a relationship of trust between field investigators and survey respondents.

Community Benefits

Transportation infrastructure decisions contribute to social, economic, and health inequities in the U.S. Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) may improve understanding of potential strategies to mitigate adverse effects on quality of life from planned developments. We use the Gordie Howe International Bridge (GHIB), currently under construction in southwest Detroit, MI, as a case study to examine 15 years of community mobilization, which resulted in community benefits that included an HIA. We describe community engagement processes, household survey methods, and select findings of the baseline HIA, with a focus on their application to inform recommendations to promote quality of life. Baseline HIA results indicated significantly higher self-reported asthma rates among children living within 500 feet of trucking routes. Residents reported substantial economic (e.g., decreased home values), health (e.g., adverse outcomes, lack of health care access), and environmental (e.g., air pollution) concerns related to the GHIB. We discuss specific recommendations, based on HIA results, to reduce adverse impacts of the GHIB. These recommendations will inform ongoing community benefits negotiations. This case study provides lessons for community, academic, and government partners conducting HIAs, especially during building and operation of major infrastructure, and discusses their potential role in improving community engagement opportunities towards environmental justice.

Based on survey data collected in 2016 from 100 villages across five provinces in China, this paper uses binary logistic model to explore the main factors related to the supply and quality of rural residential solid waste collection (RRSWC) services, especially focusing on the role of village population structure characteristics. It is indicated from the results that village population structure characteristics are significantly correlated with RRSWC services; specifically: (1) the total registered population of village households is significantly positively correlated with the supply of RRSWC services, however, the correlation between the registered population and the quality of RRSWC services is negative and the more the labors working and living outside the village, the less likely the village is to provide RRSWC services; (2) the villagers’ educational levels and RRSWC services show no significant correlativity at the present stage; (3) the preferential policies brought by population structure advantage play a positive role in the supply of RRSWC services but is not clearly related to the quality of RRSWC services, especially in the villages with a larger minority population. In addition, the study finds that, the economic development level of a village and the characteristics of village leaders are also positively correlated with the supply and quality of RRSWC services and; the natural and traffic conditions have no significant correlation with RRSWC services. This study can act as a reference for the further promotion of the development of RRSWC services in China.

The Relationship

Scientists think they are born with logic; God forbid they should study this discipline with a history of more than two and a half millenia. Isn’t it curious that some of our competitors and critics, pretty good scientists (except when they review our papers), seem to be strangely deficient in logic! While scientists think they can do without philosophy, occasionally principles of logic or philosophy do enter scientific discourse explicitly. One of these philosophic notions is Ockham’s Razor, generally taken to mean that one should not complicate explanations when simple ones will suffice. The context in which Ockham’s Razor is used in science is either that of argumentation (trying to distinguish between the quality of hypotheses) or of rhetoric (deprecating the argument of someone else). Either way, we think that today appeal to the venerable Razor has a bit of a feeling of showing off , of erudition adduced for the rhetorical purposes. This attitude reveals a double ambiguity. The first is toward learning—today’s science, no longer elitist, does not depend on men steeped in classical learning. And appeal to Ockham’s Razor also points to a certain ambiguity in the relationship of science to philosophy. Let’s learn something of the man whose name the principle bears, and its various meanings. Then we give a personal account of the use of Ockham’s Razor in chemistry, with specific reference to the analysis of reaction mechanisms. And we enter a dialogue on the validity and limitations of this device. Neither today’s scientists nor medieval theologians and philosophers, one of whom was William of Ockham (or Occam), can avoid the politics of their times. We know precious little of William of Ockham’s early life. He was born in the village of Ockham in Surrey near London, probably within five years of 1285. The first certain date we have in his life is February 26, 1306 when he was ordained subdeacon of Southwork.

This chapter sets the stage for the detailed discussion of economic development in Palanpur in subsequent chapters by offering a broad, largely but not exclusively quantitative, description of the village and its story of change during the period between 1957/8 and 2015. It draws on previously published materials, newly collected household survey data, secondary data, and qualitative information from notes, annotations, and diaries, to describe how Palanpur has evolved from a very poor, fairly closed, farming community with a rather rigid social structure, to a significantly less poor village with a diversified portfolio of economic activities and extensive links to the outside world. The chapter describes the evolution of income distribution in Palanpur, as well as of human development outcomes. The impact of polices and the role of institutions and politics in governing the changes in the village’s economy and society are examined.

The implications of the low quality of results achieved by the Islamic schools, illustrate the low quality of their teaching and learning process. Head of Madrasah, Supervisors and teachers play a very important role in realizing a quality learning process. Given that the three organizations are one of the keys to the success of the teaching and learning process, improving the performance of the headmaster, supervisors and teachers is a must. In this study there are several factors that are considered to contribute to the quality of learning including leadership, teacher performance and supervisor competence      This research was carried out using quantitative approaches and descriptive survey methods. The population is the Bandar Lampung City MIS teacher spread in 7 Private Madrasas with 132 people.

Research data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and regression analysis.      Based on the data analysis, the following findings and conclusions were obtained: first, there was a significant contribution of leadership to the quality of learning in Bandar Lampung's MIS of 16.3% with moderate correlation strength (0.403). Second, there is a significant contribution of teacher performance to learning quality by 21.2%. The strength of the relationship of teacher performance to the quality of learning is moderate (0.460), Third, there is a significant contribution of supervisory competence to the learning quality of 18.3%. with the strength of the medium relationship (0.428).Based on the results of these studies it can be stated that the quality of learning can be improved through: leadership improvement, teacher performance and supervisor competency. Principals as elements of leadership through their policies must provide maximum facilities in order to realize quality learning. Teachers as the spearhead of the learning process must improve their performance and so do the supervisors of education must have adequate competence in carrying out their main tasks and functions as academic supervisors and supervisors of the education unit. Key Words: Kepemimpinan, Kompetensi Pengawas dan Kualias Pembelajaran
