Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) is a technique which gives more emphasis on indigenous knowledge enable locals to do their own appraisal, analysis and planning in the participatory mode. In this study, for the problem identification, problem-solution and preparation of village development plan SWOT analysis and PRA tools was used at Bhargawan village of Satna district, India. The rank-based quotient (RBQ) was calculated in order to prioritize the identified problems and their solution was given using problem-solution tree technique. Findings indicated low land and water productivity, unavailability of irrigation water, aira partha, Soil sickness with Fusarium, mismanagement of animal waste and crop residue as constraints faced by the farmers of village. Constraints identified were categorized as problems arising out of gaps in research/extension activities in various agriculture and allied sectors. Based on the results and necessity of the villagers, scope for research/extension and village agriculture development programme/policy implications was made. Village agriculture development plan (VADP) of Bhargawan village will help the policymaker/NGOs/State govt. in the planning and management of soil, water and agriculture resources.

Rural Appraisal

Urban redevelopment is a critical process that needs to apporach issues from different angles with the intention to arrive at one single point: sustainability. Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, with a density of 28,000 people/km2, is currently having a tough time to give its people access to urban facilities. Old Dhaka, the 400-year-old part of the city, has very distinctive characteristics: historical buildings, wholesale trade, a dense urban pattern, narrow roads, low standard of urban utilities. This study attempted to describe persisting problems and expectations of the local people in this area, to be considered during redevelopment. This study followed the method of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). First, the existing development pattern and business zones were determined based on a historical timeline, a transact walk, a social and resource map, and a mobility map. The pair-wise ranking method was used in several focus group discussions to prioritize the problems. After prioritizing, a cause-effect diagram was created for the top problems. Then, after a rigorous SWOT analysis, several strategies were formulated from the point of view of historical conservation, development pattern, and the existing chemical industry. The importance of this study is that it is a real-time study and that it has some general implications for similar future cases, such as prioritizing the most persistent problems, thinking with empathy while dealing with old, traditional areas and to ensure local safety, livability and business performance simultaneously in the case of commercial areas. The results of this study are useful for local policy makers as they provide a valuable blend of technical analysis and local people’s feedback.Abstrak. Pembangunan kembali perkotaan adalah proses kritis yang perlu menangani masalah yang datang dari sudut yang berbeda dengan maksud untuk bertemu pada satu titik, keberlanjutan. Dhaka, ibu kota Bangladesh dengan kepadatan 28.000 orang/persegi. km, mengalami kesulitan untuk memberikan akses ke fasilitas perkotaan kepada warganya. Bagian Dhaka yang berusia 400 tahun, Old Dhaka memiliki karakteristiknya sendiri; bangunan bersejarah, perdagangan grosir, pola perkotaan yang padat, jalan sempit, standar utilitas perkotaan yang rendah. Studi ini mencoba untuk menggambarkan masalah yang ada dan harapan masyarakat lokal di daerah ini yang dapat dipertimbangkan selama pembangunan kembali. Ini mengikuti metode teknik Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). Pada awalnya pola pengembangan dan zona bisnis yang ada ditentukan oleh transact walk dan peta sosial dan sumber daya, garis waktu historis, dan peta mobilitas. Untuk memprioritaskan masalah, metode pemeringkatan berpasangan digunakan oleh beberapa Diskusi Kelompok Terarah (FGD). Setelah memprioritaskan, diagram sebab-akibat dibuat untuk masalah utama. Kemudian setelah analisis SWOT yang teliti, beberapa strategi diusulkan dari sudut pandang konservasi historis, pola pembangunan, industri kimia yang ada. Studi ini sangat penting karena ini adalah studi waktu nyata. Selain itu, ini menarik beberapa implikasi umum untuk kasus masa depan yang serupa seperti memprioritaskan masalah yang paling bertahan, berpikir dengan empati saat menangani kota tua yang tradisional dan untuk memastikan keamanan lokal, kelayakan hunian dan kinerja bisnis secara bersamaan ketika kasus tersebut berada di area komersial. Studi ini sangat penting bagi pembuat kebijakan lokal karena studi ini merupakan perpaduan yang bagus antara analisis teknis dan masukan masyarakat lokal.Kata kunci.

Rural Appraisal

South Africa has hundreds of thousands of hectares of heavily populated and badly degraded landscapes. Past attempts at land management have been either through avoidance or the top-down imposition of “betterment” schemes. Participatory methods offer a new opportunity for communities living within these catchments to share their knowledge and to become involved in planning and implementing the management process. This paper discusses the use of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) in a catchment rehabilitation programme in rural KwaZulu/Natal, the lessons learnt and the prospects for wider application.

South Africa is been faced with erratic power supply, resulting in persistent load shedding due to ageing in most of its coal-fired power plants. Associated with generating electricity from fossil fuel are environmental consequences such as greenhouse emissions and climate change. On the other hand, the country is endowed with abundant renewable energy resources that can potentially ameliorate its energy needs. This article explores the viability of renewable energy using the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis approach on the key renewable potential in the country. The result indicates that geographic position, political and economic stability and policy implementation are some of the strengths. However, Government bureaucratic processes, level of awareness and high investment cost are some of the weaknesses. Several opportunities favour switching to renewable energy, and these include regional integration, global awareness on climate change and the continuous electricity demand. Some threats hindering the renewable energy sector in the country include land ownership, corruption and erratic climatic conditions. Some policy implications are suggested based on the findings of the study.

AbstractRenewable energy (RE) plays an increasingly important role in the economy of almost every country in the world. In order to examine the state of renewable energy (RE) in Mazowieckie Voivodeship (Poland), a literature review was carried out, anonymous surveys were conducted, a SWOT (Strenghts, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and TOWS analysis were carried out and the potential of RE in Mazowieckie voivodship was estimated. The total capacity of all installations is equal to 712 MW. In recent months, number of prosumers have increased to 11,742 in the Voivodeship, and the capacity of their installations is estimated at 66 MW. Simplification of legal regulations and educating society is strongly recommended. Respondents in the survey and SWOT analysis on the future of the energy sector in Mazowieckie Voivodeship show that solar energy (35.5% of respondents) and wind energy (24.5% of respondents) have the greatest chances for the development. Development of the RE sector in the Voivodeship means new jobs, both in this sector and around it. Significant RE potential together with large project financing possibilities may cause Mazowieckie Voivodeship to be a leader in RE production in Poland. It is this Voivodeship (with its capital Warsaw) that can serve as an example of the energy transformation towards 100% RE.
