An evaluation framework for earthquake-responsive land administration

Scale-appropriate mechanization impacts on productivity among smallholders: Evidence from rice systems in the mid-hills of Nepal

“…In 2014, the Government of Nepal promulgated a farm mechanization policy which articulated several farm mechanization promotion policies, including the provision of subsidies for the mini-tillers (Gauchan and Shrestha, 2017; Takeshima, 2017a). Furthermore, in April 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the mid-hills of Nepal (Mitchell et al, 2017b), and almost 9000 people died, along with over 17,000 livestock - primarily the draft animals (GoN, 2015). In the aftermath of the earthquake, many development organizations distributed mini-tillers to farmers to offset the acute scarcity of labor and draft animals.…”

Quantifying the Spatiotemporal Pattern of Urban Expansion and Hazard and Risk Area Identification in the Kaski District of Nepal

“…In 2015, various disasters killed a total of 22,765 people worldwide, victimized 110.3 million, and caused loss and damage worth $70.3 billion. The period between 2010 and 2015 was characterized by the severe earthquakes, particularly in Chile, Haiti, New Zealand, Japan, and Nepal [14]. The continent of Asia was the site of 62.7% of the deaths and 49.15% of the total damage caused by disasters.…”

An Evaluation Framework for Urban Cadastral System Policy in Ethiopia

“…This issue has been suggested by the group of cadastral experts and administrators in order to be able to develop a comprehensive framework. In contrast to the results of Steudler et al [19], Mitchell et al [33], and Yilmaz et al [27], which all limit the applications and impacts of cadastral systems to legal and technical aspects in particular, it is recommended to expand the effects of cadastral systems beyond this narrow focus. Instead, their performance should also be connected to social, economic, and environmental concerns, since the effects also help communities by solving boundary-related disputes arising among landholders.…”

“…Different scholars have developed an evaluation framework from the concept of organizational pyramids [31]. For instance, Steudler et al [32], Mitchell et al [33], and Yilmaz et al [27] propose an evaluation framework based on five levels, i.e., policy level, management level, operational level, external factors, and review process. These levels are divided into evaluation aspects, which are particular parts within levels.…”
