In such a situation, zoning regulations (land-based financing policies) are often considered as a potential policy tools to increase density to finance a diverse range of public infrastructures by local governments. Based on a questionnaire survey conducted with 384 participants from the neighbourhood residents and in-person site visit in Tabriz, Iran, this article investigates the relationship between revenue-based density selling policy implementation and neighbourhood satisfaction and urban resilience. The findings demonstrated that there is significant alignment among residential dissatisfaction about implementation of ‘density selling’ policy. All examined qualitative indicators represented lower level of the residents’ satisfaction with the new situation. Urban densification policies through the selling floor area ratio (FAR) permission have brought negative consequences in the physical and social dimensions. The findings also revealed the high level of residents’ awareness and their concerns about natural hazards. The findings can be valuable to give decision makers and city managers a better understanding of the consequences of using revenue-based urban development.","PeriodicalId":510195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"85 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139440700","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 case in point, we examine farming households’ resilience to food and nutrition insecurity in Ghana under the COVID-19 shocks. Focus group discussions were initially conducted with farming household heads to identify households’ sources of resilience and the different COVID-19 shocks. A multi-stage random sampling technique was then used to survey 252 farming households. We used different econometric modelling techniques, that is, the multiple indicators multiple causes modelling procedure, ordinary least square, and multinomial probit model, for data analysis. Our results provide supportive evidence affirming that COVID-19 shocks undermine farming households’ resilience and food and nutrition security. Urban and male-headed households experience more food and nutrition insecurity than rural and female-headed households. Farming households’ adaptive capacity significantly contributed to household resilience and food and nutrition security. The findings suggest that lessons learned from the current pandemic can help policymakers, governments, and international organisations build adequate responses and interventions that strengthen and support farming households’ resilience to food and nutrition security and systemic shocks such as COVID-19 in Ghana.","PeriodicalId":510195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"5 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139439540","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}
