Residents in Malaysia are mostly concentrated in urban areas. However, people do feel worried about residential burglary despite living in urban areas. Although burglary cases have recorded a decline, the fears of crime are still high among the people in Kuching, Sarawak. The objective of this study is to identify the spatial pattern of residential burglary in Kuching, Sarawak. This study is using Global Moran’s I method as it can evaluate the spatial autocorrelation of residential burglary in the global context. The spatial data consists of Kuching district boundary, road data, police station boundary and police sector boundary, while non-spatial data includes residential burglary from 2015-2017, time, addresses of the crime occurrences, latitude and longitude. The result revealed that the strong global spatial patterns were found for residential burglary in Kuching, Sarawak between 2015 and 2017. However, there was no global spatial pattern found for residential burglary in 2016.

Sesame meal was widely consumed in Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh, India which was not known to most of the people and under-utilized. Moringa leaves were another nutritious food that is also under-utilized and not available in urban areas. The aim of this work was to develop the sesame meal and dried Moringa leaves as a ready to cook curry mix by assessing the ratio of sesame meal and dried Moringa leaves as to determine the best closer fresh leaves and sesame meal blend. The Moringa leaves were treated with citric acid, and potassium meta bisulphite to retain the colour and dried by different techniques such as shade drying, solar drying and drying in Ezidri food dehydrator at 60, 50, 35ºC. The leaves dried in Ezidri food dehydrator retained more colour and nutrients. The dried leaves were used to prepare curry with sesame meal taking fresh leaves as a control in the ratio 1:2. The dried leaves and sesame meal were taken in the ratio 0.1:1, 0.12:1 and 0.14:1, prepared samples were evaluated for sensory characteristics and compared with the control sample. The curry prepared in the ratio 0.12:1 is best accepted and close to the control sample. The nutritive value shows Sesame meal and Moringa leaves were the best cheapest sources of protein, calcium, iron, potassium and vitamin A.

The manuscript herewith presents the assessment of water quality parameters in the samples drawn in year 2014-15 from Akshar Vihar pond, located centrally in district Bareilly (U.P.), India. Analysis of check parameters chosen, was performed by employing standard procedures laid down in APHA. The minimum to maximum values recorded in each month of the experimental year for pH, total hardness, DO, BOD, COD, calcium and magnesium were 7.2-8.8, 380 - 486mg/L, 4.2-10.6 mg/L, 1.0-1.6 mg/L, 3.8-8.4 mg/L, 52.97-74.84 mg/L and 56.74-72.98 mg/L respectively. Significant correlation was observed for COD with pH (0.816), carbonate (0.875) and bicarbonate (0.927); that of total hardness with magnesium (0.954) as well as of DO inversely with water temperature (-0.821).

Multiple Actors

Sustainable development and smart city have been two key concepts that are mentioned and referred to in any discussion on our cities. Today, more than half of the people live in cities, and the problems that we face in urban areas ranging from climate change to transportation, from waste management to communicable diseases, threaten the future of our cities and next generations. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the world leaders at the UN Summit in 2015 in order to save our planet, our generation, and next generations. As the problem is global, the solution needs to be global; and as the problem is a result of multiple actors, the solution needs to be provided by the collaboration of multiple stakeholders. Smart city has emerged as a concept that offers several solutions to the urban problems, which also overlap with most of the targets listed in the SDGs. In this chapter, the contribution of smart city technologies to the achievement of the SDGs is analysed through the in-depth case study of Istanbul, a mega city with a population of around 16 million.

Innovation districts, as a particular place for knowledge-based urban development strategies, have been praised for promoting sustainable economic developments. They have, however, been criticized for contributing to gentrification, urban inequality, and other problems that hinder sustainability. There has been little research addressing how planners maintain economic sustainability and promote the social and environmental sustainability of innovation districts. This paper takes Hangzhou as a case study, using the policy zoning—a new zoning method based on suitability evaluation—to formulate the applicable place plan for building innovation districts. The results show that the policy zoning can help planners arrange the construction of innovation districts in certain urban areas and take the most targeted measures to improve the sustainability of possible innovation districts. These measures include either enhancing the foundations of the metropolitan area or promoting innovation development by referring to suitability evaluation results. Planning based on policy zoning is of benefit to the sustainability of innovation districts through avoiding the impulsive behavior of policymakers, as well as promoting the better distribution of development achievements among the people, rather than concentrating on land developers and stakeholders who pursue maximum profits.

Lymphatic Filariasis commonly known as elephantiasis is a painful and profoundly disguring disease that has a major social and economic impact in Asia, Africa, the Western Pacic and parts of the Americas (Ottesen et.al., 1997). This disease is caused through parasitic worms known as larial worms. In most of the cases this disease have no symptoms, however, the people develop a syndrome called elephantiasis which is marked with severe swelling in the legs, breasts, arms and genitals. The condition becomes more painful and unable to tolerate the pain and the appearance of the patients also looks ugly. The main aim of this study is to assess the transmission of lymphatic lariasis with reference to occupation. The convenience sampling method was taken for selection of sampling among the selected areas with the sample of 255 in the urban areas of Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh. The results revealed that the people with the age group of more than 45 years living at slum areas were more affected with this disease due to lack of knowledge about this disease.

Landslide Hazards

The state of Mizoram in North East India is a landslide prone one. It is a landlocked state bordering Myanmar to its east, Bangladesh to its west and the State of Assam to its north. In recent years Lunglei witnessed two devastating landslides in 2018 and 2019 with numerous loss of life and property. The loss incurred from natural and man-made disasters in other areas in the State too has led to tremendous loss of money to the exchequer, particularly landslides. Many of the landslides are results of combinations of geology, geomorphology, topography and anthropogenic activities. The seasonal rains served as triggering causes of these landslides on many occasions especially during the monsoons. Landslides in general have caused numerous casualties with immense economic losses and they will continue so in this hilly and mountainous region like Mizoram unless sound and effective scientific decisions and measures are not adopted by the people and the authorities. Identification of landslide hazards of urban areas situating on tops of mountainous ridges like Lunglei is essential for minimizing losses due to landslides and other mass movements. This study encompass an area of 8.86 sq kms transversing the Lunglei town from Lunglawn to Zotlang localities with the NH54A being buffered with 500m on both sides in homogenous domains and the obtained results classify the study areas ranking them accordingly to the potential landslide hazard threat they can cause in future.
