The aim of this article was to investigate the effects of Distributive Justice on Teaching Faculty Job Satisfaction in higher educational institutions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, specifically Bacha Khan University, University of Malakand, and University of Swat. The study was quantitative in nature, and a questionnaire was employed as a data collection tool to gather primary information from a sample size of 217 respondents selected using a proportional allocation approach. The study found a significant (P≤0.05) relationship between teacher satisfaction and assumptions such as unjust award distribution, teachers not receiving rewards based on performance, and their behaviors being dependent on administrative fairness. Furthermore, unfair reward distribution increases the likelihood of turnover among university teachers. In light of the study's findings, the Government and administration should take proactive measures to provide better working conditions for employees in order to regain their trust. Such measures should include increasing collaboration with teachers, investigating benefits for teachers, fostering stronger relationships in the workplace, and encouraging effective discussion which can enhance and promote an exchange of ideas between administration and faculty. Keywords: Effects of Distributive Justice, Teaching Faculty, Job Satisfaction, Higher educational institutions, Fostering stronger relationships

Purpose: The local peace actors, including poets, play an important role in promoting peace in a conflict context. In this vein, this study aims to investigate the role of local poets in promoting peace in the conflict-affected communities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan Methodology: A qualitative inquiry was conducted in one of the Districts of former FATA, namely Bajaour.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to assess the flood hazard causes and damages and to draw the extent of flood hazard zones in Budhni Nullah District Peshawar on the basis of devastating historical flood data through the usage of the Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS). Methodology: In this research, a descriptive methodology and GIS techniques were carried out to identify flood hazard causes, damages, and hazard zones. Therefore, qualitative and quantitative data related to flood hazards are clipped from various sources. Satellite images such as digital elevation models were generated for acquiring watershed and slope data. The data were put in the ArcMap for mapping and in SPSS for ease of statistical calculations to find the causes and damages of flood hazards. Moreover, various other tools from different applications were used such as ERDAS Imagine for Image processing and GPS application for location tracking. Main Findings: We delineated the catchment areas and different other tributaries and with the help of slope, settlements, area inundation, and past damages data we find out the flood hazard zones. These flood hazard zones were demarcated with the help of the Euclidean distance tool in which different data overlaid to others in ArcMap and through ground-truthing, we confirmed the flood hazard zones. Applications: Research results could be used for providing a recommendation to the local government authorities and communities to mitigate the flood hazard risk in the locality and improve the safety measures. Such as retaining walls to make them a little distance from levees.
