In contrast, the important design principles for effective humanitarian logistics systems remains poorly understood. Current research focuses largely on applying business models to humanitarian logistics, however, there remains a fundamental mismatch between business logistics models, and humanitarian logistics ways of operating. Specifically, business logistics systems are utility focused; designed to prioritize cost minimization and profit maximization, to sustain a long-term market demand for their service and to limit the opportunity for uncertainty within their supply chain. Alternatively, humanitarians and their logistics systems aim to prioritize a shared moral code over economic outcomes, reduce beneficiary dependence upon their service, and specifically operate in a contingent environment characterized by high uncertainty and context flux. Thus, we argue that business logistics models and tools designed for precision outcomes and control cannot merely be re-engineered for a humanitarian context that calls for approximation and parallel option flexibility. Instead of adapting economic-based logistics systems designed for maximizing business effectiveness, we believe academics could better contribute to the science of humanitarian logistics by pursuing new designs supporting the goals and constraints driven by humanitarian values.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123455730","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 welfare activity particularly focuses on Children in Distress (CID) and their rehabilitation through various initiatives and collaborations with partners/NGOs across India. The main objectives of the System are to help Children in distress and to have complete transparency of the activities by various stakeholders across the programme. This is inline with the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) which is an integral part of the Ministry of Women and Children Development (Government of India). The innovation was to setup a free national helpline (Tel no. 1098) which would assist in initiating and recording Child Vulnerability Incidents across India. The System is designed to address Child Vulnerability Issues like Abuse & Violence, child Trafficking, Child Labor, child in Conflict with Law, Child Marriage, Child Sexual Abuse, Child without Parental Care, Street Children (without Shelter), , Disabilities, Health issues, Drug Abuse, Gender bias (Girl Child), HIV-AIDS, Missing Children. The System also assists to record collaboration from Government, Public and Private Sectors for addressing this challenge collectively. Comprehensive solution was developed to assist programme in aligning priorities of initiatives and track the progress made in each of the child Intervention case. This resulted in bringing about visibility and accountability with traceability for the initiative with trend analysis. The system is presently operational in 170 cities in 30 States and Union Territories in India and has assisted to address more than 10 million calls so far.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115042624","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}

As a consequence, utilities service providers are required to submit proposals to create or upgrade power infrastructures. These proposed projects could have potential impacts on the environment and thus are required to conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Although the importance of engaging public citizens in the EIA process has long been recognized, public participation in the EIA process is often regarded as ineffective due to material, technical, and procedural complexity as well as the nature of environmental information. This paper presents a spatially intelligent framework to improve the effectiveness of public participation in the EIA process. The framework proposes five components that integrate GIS, data mining and mobile technology; a Web-based information system is also developed as a proof-of-concept. Survey questionnaires and user scenarios were designed to collect initial feedback and evaluate the effectiveness of public participation and system usability. Preliminary results have suggested that the system strengthens users' understanding in the project information and the EIA process, improves the usability compared to the existing EIA website, and enhances their willingness to participate in the EIA process.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115149977","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}
