This dissertation deals with community development and community action in the field of solid waste management (SWM) in two major cities, i.e. Dhaka and Chittagong in Bangladesh. The objective of the study was to identify whether or not the community-based SWM initiatives have emerged through the influences of the characteristics (or sources) of social capital. In line with the objective, it was assumed that the decision to organise a community-based SWM is higher in the neighbourhoods where relatively high level of social capital exists. The theory of social capital has been used here as an analytical tool. Several interesting results came up from the study such as: (i) it reveals that Putnum's operationalisation of social capital is not fully applicable to a different social and political settings and therefore need to be contextualised according to the local conditions in order to reap benefit. It was found that social capital alone is not sufficient to form community-based SWM initiative in Bangladesh. It works well together with the influence of kinship, patron-client relationship, and power and authority relations of Bangladesh society. Therefore, the localities with a high level of social capital are better able to organise a community-based SWM initiative, if the other factors remain supportive; (ii) failure to organise a community-based SWM initiative not only indicates the lack of sufficient social capital but also is a result of many contesting factors such as: the law and order situation of the country, power politics, political conflict and threat, which contribute either to diminish or to reduce the chances of accumulation of social capital to make collective action possible; (iii) a civic engagement, organising solid waste collection appears to be as much based on strong leadership and patron-client relationships than social capital in terms of social networking and trust; and (iv) the community-based organisations in the urban areas of Bangladesh generally function in accordance with the basic characteristics of the socio-political system of the country.

For over 40 years Boeing has published an annual forecast for the growth of air travel worldwide. Current Market Outlook has become a standard reference for planners in government and industry. Major methodological changes in the forecast occurred in mid of 1990. These were a result of rethinking the data, methods, and models. It turns out standard approaches over-emphasized the effect of GDP. On the other hand, statistics found a convincing and cogent link between trade and travel, even though the data appeared entirely random. Finally, a startlingly simple approach established the hitherto elusive link between travel and service quality. This talk is a light-hearted review of the things we did wrong and fixed, and the things we are still worried about. It provides a bittersweet contrast between the ways of industry and academia. In this study we discussed Identifying and tracking fashion trends, apply knowledge of fashion forecasting to understand how trends evolve and are interpreted by industry. As a bonus we introduce Occam's Toothbrush an entirely new, hopelessly backwards, and entirely un-publishable way industry does hypothesis testing, but doesn't realize it.

This edited book explores the link between institutional reforms, governance and services delivery in the Global South, mapping how and to what extent resource-poor governments deliver public services to their citizens. The book concludes that delivery of public services responsibly and efficiently remains largely unachievable because of weaker institutions and poor quality of governance in the Global South countries. Reforms to governance and institutions are generally considered fitting measures to overcome public service delivery challenges. Hamid E.
