The methodological framework includes identifying proposed locations for ship trajectory, laying oil pipelines, oil platforms, and all those affecting these locations, including river plumes and sub-marine springs, using geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and multi-natural-criteria methods. Therefore, maps were produced and then re-classified into three categories: low, moderate, and extreme ability training. The results provide a decision-making process regarding offshore wind farming, fish farming, and the establishment of marine reserves. The outputs of this work contribute to ensuring the sustainable spatial development of the marine ecosystem through renewable energy resources and nutrition solutions.","PeriodicalId":483227,"journal":{"name":"International journal of geography, geology and environment","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135857756","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 VES survey was conducted using a Pasi resistivity meter, while the ground magnetic survey was carried out using a proton precision magnetometer. The VES survey revealed two to five distinct geo-electrical sections and fourteen characteristically sounding curves, which indicate vertical changes in the subsurface. The findings illustrate that the weathered soil in proximity to the surface of the study area has the best soil formations that encourage soil pipe development. Moreover, the iso-resistivity 2D maps demonstrate that the soil pipes describe a direction in the NW-SE, which is consistent with the stress direction, fluid migration paths, and sloppy terrains of the study area. The results of the ground magnetic survey were obtained using a diurnal corrected anomaly technique generated from the field. This finding suggests that low magnetic susceptibility, ranging from -124.4 to -300nT, has accumulated in the subsurface, primarily in the south-western region, where most of the soil pipes are located in the surveyed areas.","PeriodicalId":483227,"journal":{"name":"International journal of geography, geology and environment","volume":"175 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135812719","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 surveyed households are represented by eight Scheduled Castes. Caste wise distribution of educated womens at different levels of education has been worked out. Thereafter, the weighted score has been derived to assess the levels of educational attainment among different castes. On the basis of weighted score, the rank has been given to each caste. Female literacy rate were recorded as highest in Balmiki caste 87.35 per cent while the lowest were recorded in Dhanak caste 47.83 per cent. On the basis of aggregated weighted score, it is noted that the Balmiki Caste has obtained first rank with 216.55 in the study area followed by Dhanak second, Chamar and Banjara with third and forth rank respectively. On the other hand the Bawaria Caste occupied the lowest position with total weighted score 120.00 in the study area. Bawaria is followed by OD and Bazigar.","PeriodicalId":483227,"journal":{"name":"International journal of geography, geology and environment","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135805356","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}
