This paper analyses the impact of foreign aid, socioeconomic and family planning programmes input on fertility in Pakistan. Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model is used to investigate the dynamics of the connected variables. For this purpose, the time series data from 1973 to 2011 has been used. The results show that foreign aid, prices and literacy rate are negatively related with fertility in long run as well as short run. On the other hand, birth rate is positively related with fertility with relatively high proportion. The results of family planning programme input reveal that programme inputs are not capable to control population. This study suggests that government should enhance the number of lady health visitors in field fully equipped under an organised system

Previous studies show that blemished infrastructural development projects dispossessed local population and degraded natural resources to a greater extent in the developing countries. Therefore, this research is aimed at determining how land use decisions affect local habitats and resources. Thus, the data were collected from the recently constructed water reservoir in the southern part of Pakistan, named Chotiari. Our findings show that the project is hampered by the local actors' nonparticipation in decision-making, deceptive information dissemination by the authorities, misuse of funds, power relations, improper rehabilitation plans and unequal access to natural resources. We paid attention to the actors' network, land as well as the property rights violations, which have created the conflicts, where the causes of the conflicts of land use super positioned in the light of international rules and laws have also been explained. Thus, it is recommended that, for natural resource governance and land use conflict management, it is imperative to take all stakeholders on board during feasibility of any infrastructural setting. Furthermore, the awareness campaigns regarding the environmental importance and valuation of natural resources must be on the topmost agenda of the government.
