Unfortunately over the past decades, the pollinator population in the agricultural system has declined across the globe due to over use of synthetic chemical pesticides. Disruption of ecosystem service provided by pollinators due to pollinator decline in chemical intensive cropping systems has assumed a global dimension. This paper addresses how farming practices and designs affect the diversity of pollinators. In this study the relationship between pollinator density and brinjal (<em>Solanum melongena</em>, Fam. Solanacae) productivity was evaluated in a chemical intensive vegetable cropping system in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India (hot sub-humid to humid eco-region; Lat 22°22’ 26, N Lon 88°21’ 26 E). By comparing pollinator density and fruit set between ecological farm and chemical intensive farm, it was investigated whether pesticide application affects pollinator visitation and in such a scenario what was the impact on brinjal production. Visitation rate of pollinators (butterflies and bees) was significantly higher in ecological farm as compared to the conventional farm (Mann Whitney U test, p < 0.001).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8107,"journal":{"name":"APCBEE Procedia","volume":"8 ","pages":"Pages 131-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.apcbee.2014.03.014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84541567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, limited green spaces within the proximity of residential properties are not supporting the landscape space and are not conducive to living space. The aim of the paper is to investigate the impact of landscape design on house prices and values in residential development particularly in urban areas. The paper employed quantitative approaches which include i) a questionnaire survey; and ii) an observation. This empirical study is based on the findings of case studies conducted in several residential areas in Klang Valley. The findings show that the residents have very clear ideas on how much green space is really important in residential areas in order to create a sustainable residential environment. Despite the absence of public actions in terms of providing information, encouraging participations in the survey and promoting awareness of those interviewed have shown considerable interest in promoting landscape design to be applied in residential development. The perceptions of the quality and quantity of landscape designs in residential areas especially in Klang Valley can be further researched for future study.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8107,"journal":{"name":"APCBEE Procedia","volume":"10 ","pages":"Pages 316-320"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.apcbee.2014.10.059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83526175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the task of managing pavements has to be done systematically and objectively. This paper outlines the steps involved in developing a multi-year pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation (M&R) plan. These include: (1) condition assessment; (2) network inventory and database development; (3) identification of pavement sections requiring M&R; (3) needs analysis; and (4) impact analysis. As a case study, the project was performed on the road network inside the Texas A&M University campus that consists of 13.95 miles of roadway, 80% and 20% of which are concrete and HMA pavements respectively. Condition assessment was done according to ASTM D 6433-07 and using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) as indicator of pavement performance. Data collected were then entered into a database which also contains information on traffic and roadway characteristics. PCI threshold values were established to identify sections that are in need of M&R and the most cost- effective treatment based on long-term performance benefit and life-cycle cost was proposed for each project. Candidate projects were then prioritized by ranking based on benefit-cost analysis. The needs estimate provides meaningful information on the total amount of budget required to correct all deficiencies in the network. Finally, the impact analysis is used to determine the impact of a reduced budget on network condition as well as the amount of backlog that needs to be addressed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8107,"journal":{"name":"APCBEE Procedia","volume":"9 ","pages":"Pages 230-234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.apcbee.2014.01.041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88102033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
