This study reviews the recent quantitative and qualitative evidence on the need to develop our natural environments for creative and leisure purposes. Previous studies described the problem of tourism to be a universal one, as virtually all countries are faced with the problem of providing inadequate tourism for their citizens. In Nigeria urban centres the tourism conditions were not properly documented. The study investigated the tourism condition in Lagos, Nigeria. The study observed that tourism condition in the nation is presently not provided for all citizenry. The need of the majority was not considered while some of the existing few are in deplorable condition. Previous literatures reviewed shows that almost 75 percent of tourist centres are for children meaning they lack creative environment. This paper also attempts to discuss in detail the little infrastructural evidences that exists in tourism. Fifteen centres were selected and eight were investigated in this study. The study discuss the consistency of findings across Lagos State, using different methodological approaches with consideration to the major key compares the magnitudes of developing natural environment. The study adopted questionnaire as the tool for the investigation, the tool was randomly administered after which the outcomes were analysed with the use of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, SPSS version 16. Furthermore, aside that personal observation data was also recorded. The study identifies the emerging policy, business opportunity strategy and activities for good governance and better environment. Service provider should be willing to create the inspiration garden in other to have a greater benefits and more patronage. Since most of the centres investigated are static in nature, the study suggested that in the future, research should focus on the analysis of respondent welfare in a dynamic sense.

The Plant nursery industry is an integrated section of the afforestation program in Bangladesh. Around 18000 plant nurseries are playing a vital role in employment creation and income generation. But due to Covid-19 shutdown, this industry faced a lot of difficulties. Considering the importance, this research was performed in Sylhet district to trace out the pandemic impact on private plant nursery business. Randomly 31 nurseries were selected to fulfill the objective and data were collected using semi-structured questionnaires through direct interviews. In the questionnaire, 5 points Likert scale was used to collect responses of nursery traders. The study analyzed the socio-economic attributes of nursery traders. The conducted survey found out nursery input, transport, and selling tasks were affected most owing to the pandemic and it forced them to adopt several strategies to manage the loss. The study also revealed important suggestions and recommendations for the betterment of the nursery industry which are expected to help students, researchers, policymakers, and entrepreneurs.

Data Isolation

<p>Use of the same application by multiple users through internet as a service is supported by cloud computing system. Both the user and attacker stay in the same machine as both of them are users of the same application creating an in-secure environment. Service must ensure secrecy both at the application and data layer level. Data isolation and Application isolation are two basic aspects that must be ensured to cater for security as desired by the clients that accesses the service. In this paper a more secured mechanism has been presented that help ensuring data isolation and security when Multi-tenancy of the users to the same service has been implemented.</p>

&lt;p&gt;The Med-waves system has been implemented in the framework of the Mediterranean component (MED MFC) of the Copernicus Marine Environment Service (CMEMS) and generates high-resolution analysis, forecast, and reanalysis wave products for the Mediterranean Sea area. The system which is based on the WAM wave model is operational since 2017 and is continuously upgraded in order to represent better the Mediterranean wave dynamics with a high forecast skill. The purpose of this work is to present a description of the various improvements introduced to the system and their impact on the wave product quality. The validation of the system which is done by comparing the model output against buoys and satellite altimeters measurements shows the product quality changes (improvements) due to the different upgrades of the Med-waves system. Based on this upgraded system, we will also give the detailed characteristics of the new reanalysis wave product which is driven by atmospheric forcing from ECMWF ERA5 and provides hourly wave parameters from 1993.&lt;/p&gt;

Afforestation Program

In this study, we assessed the impact of the Billion Trees Afforestation Program (BTAP) on the livelihood of local household in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province (KPK). BTAP is the largest ban-logging afforestation program in Pakistan, which aims to conserve natural forests, promoting rural livelihoods and reducing poverty. Primary data from 360 local inhabitants were collected and analyzed using descriptive and econometric methodologies that include ordered logit model and ordinary least squares (OLS) respectively. In specific, a wealth index, household income, and five assets of sustainable livelihood have been considered to measure the impact of BTAP. We found that there is a strong and positive contribution of BTAP to the improvement of a rural community’s livelihood. Results showed that BTAP based households earn 4% more income and possess around 35% more assets. These findings suggest that BTAP has considerable effect on increase in livelihood assets. This study continues the discussion with several practical implications of this along with recommendations for future research.
