However, this idea has not yet been investigated in the context of Nepal. This study examines the monetary impact that climate change has had and will continue to have on Nepal's tourism industry and makes projections on such impacts. The economic impact assessment of climate change on Nepal's tourism sector is the first study of its sort to be conducted anywhere in the nation. This research is predicated on a conceptual model that was established on the theoretical foundation, a mathematical model that generated the tourism demand function, and an economic effect analysis that was performed on the tourism sector using secondary data. The findings of the study's analysis have been broken down into three distinct sections: a trend analysis of tourism and its contribution; regression results based on the models that have been established; and a projection of GDP for the years 2020-2030 and 2100. It is abundantly clear from the trend analysis, the analysis of loss and damage from climate-induced hazards, the econometric modeling for tourism function analysis and correlation on tourism GDP, and other research that the tourism sector is extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change and that it will have significant repercussions. The projection of tourism's contribution to the national GDP shows that this sector has the potential to make a larger contribution, provided that the conditions that could prevent this from happening do not change. On the other hand, the rising trend of climatic factors and climate-induced dangers could potentially lead to a greater overall loss and damage in the tourism industry. As a result, it will have an immediate bearing on the contribution made to the national economy.","PeriodicalId":200306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development and Administrative Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140747668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article is based on descriptive analyses of the data derived from the World Population Data Sheet (Population Reference Bureau) 2006 and 2016. The world population reached 7.4 billion in 2016. It is unevenly distributed because less developed countries occupied 83 percent and more developed countries had 17 percent. Asia only occupied three-fifth (60.53%). In the SAARC region, India and Maldives are the countries with the highest and lowest population. Afghanistan had the highest fertility and mortality whereas Sri Lanka and Maldives had the lowest fertility and mortality. Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Bangladesh had life expectancy over 70 years. Afghanistan and Sri Lanka had the highest (44%) and lowest (25%) shares of the young population. However, the share of the old dependent population (65+ years) in the SAARC region was very low. Similarly, the highest and lowest urban percentages were found in Maldives (46%) and Sri Lanka (18%).","PeriodicalId":200306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development and Administrative Studies","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116955351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of digital pedagogy in higher mathematics education. The research question focuses on analyzing the effectiveness of digital pedagogy on students' APOS-based learning achievements in higher mathematics. The study used a quantitative research approach, employing a critical Action Research design with pre-and post-test measures to assess the effectiveness of digital pedagogy. The study participants were 126 third-semester students taking a course \"Differential Geometry\". The used tools are the DP model and mathematics achievement test (MAT). Based on the analysis of data, it is found that DP is effective to enhance APOS-based students learning. So, the study concludes that Digital Pedagogy in higher mathematics education provides insights into how educators can leverage technology to enhance student learning outcomes.","PeriodicalId":200306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development and Administrative Studies","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116031638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study defines the relevant concepts related to tourist destinations and satisfaction and conducts a SWOT analysis to evaluate the internal and external factors affecting the park. To gather empirical data, an email questionnaire survey was conducted, and responses from 210 domestic tourists were collected to investigate the actual conditions of the park and satisfaction levels based on 18 indicators. The research identifies practical issues that hinder the improvement of tourist satisfaction and proposes measures to enhance the overall experience of tourists. The findings of the study provide valuable insights into park management, which can be used to develop effective strategies for attracting more tourists and improving their overall satisfaction levels. The research highlights the importance of understanding the tourist satisfaction and market competition environment of national parks and the need for regular monitoring and evaluation to ensure sustainable tourism development.","PeriodicalId":200306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development and Administrative Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123975047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, women's participation in Nepali bureaucracy is examined both qualitatively and quantitatively in light of the adoption of the reservation policy in 2007. This study aims to determine the extent to which Nepal's bureaucracy has evolved to reflect the demographics of the nation and whether it has improved in terms of citizen responsiveness after the establishment of a reservation policy. Gender-friendly practices are being implemented as the nation moves toward modernity. PSC and CBS secondary data are employed with descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (t-test and one-way ANOVA). Women’s representation has increased through participation in the civil service, but they still mostly hold junior or non-gazetted posts. Citizens’ evaluations regarding responsiveness and processes of service provision are also mixed.","PeriodicalId":200306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development and Administrative Studies","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121865333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
