Green Village And Green Villages

Strategic Goal 1 fosters development of rural communities in order to make them more self-sustainable and become economically

Every group had its own suggestions for green infrastructure. The most popular method among the projects was the implementation of green roofs. As every group stated, green roofs can help regulate temperatures inside buildings, saving costs on heating and cooling. They are handy in capturing storm water runoff, which can then be used for food production. Group A did a good job showing these benefits, but neglected to consider the possible detrimental

Rwanda is a landlocked country located in east-central Africa, bordered by Lake Kivu, the highest lake in Africa. Its capital, Kigali, is located in the center of the country. Rwanda has lush vegetation and beautiful landscapes that have earned it the name “le pays de mille collines,” or land of a thousand hills. Though it is a small country, about the size of Maryland, it has a very rich and interesting history, having the highest number inhabitants. Though the country has had a long past of monarchies, it is currently a multiparty republic with two legislative houses.

Rwanda is a small African country of 10,169 square miles with a population of approximately 8,380,000 (before the genocide). As an agricultural nation, Rwanda was economically dependent on the harvesting of crops such as rice, coffee, and maize. Though the nation may have been dependent on these agricultural exports to the United States (and other Western powers), the US unfortunately was not entirely dependent on Rwanda as these products were also traditionally received from Brazil, Columbia, and other larger African countries. Prior to the control of other western powers, the country was at peace; however, all this changed after Rwanda came under control of the countries Germany and Belgium. Unfortunately, Germans and Belgians could not appreciate the

The Rwanda revolution of 1959 was significant because it marked the shift in power between two ethic groups within Rwanda. The country was originally led by the Tutsis and was later given to the Hutus by their colonizers Belgium. The change in power between the Tutsis and the Hutus caused tensions within the country as both groups battled for power. These tensions led to uprisings and as a result led to the death of many Tutsis. The revolution of 1959 not only emphasized the exsiting tensions between the two ethnic groups but it as well showed the impact of Belgium’s influcences even after Rwanda gained independce in 1962.

Many were killed and had to be buried in mass graves due to the corpses in mass amounts (“Genocide”). The few survivors lost their families, homes, friends, and suffered awful health complications. Many survivors already lived in poverty, but now lived in unpropitious poverty. Survivors also had to undergo severe trauma from their horrific experiences. They had to reconstruct their lives as well as the city they knew and loved. These people subsided the awful treachery they had endured and united as a community to rebuild their homeland. Although, ten years after the genocide, ethnic relations in Rwanda remained tense (Genocide & Persecution Rwanda 39). Signs of genocide are still everywhere today and the effects of this tragedy are

The 1994 genocide was a turning point for Rwanda and the voices of women began to resound louder. In the aftermath of the tragedy, women constituted a high proportion of the population. Women were impoverished but were challenged to take charge of their destiny; they were called upon to play a key role in reshaping the country’s direction through enterprise creation and development.

Rwanda was one of the worst genocide in 1994, where 800,000 people but Tutsis, were exterminated by the Hutu. But opposed to media and governments, this was the reason of Rwanda’s political and economic position in the world system, it involved like World Bank and International Monetary Fund policies, the international aids and others.

Rwanda is a small landlocked country located in Central Africa. It neighbors Uganda to the north, Burundi to the south, the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west and Tanzania to the east. According to the CIA world factbook the total area of Rwanda is 26,338 km2 composed of 24,668 km2 of land and 1,670 km2 of water. The land use is about ¾ agricultural land with 47% arable land, 10% permanent crops, 17% permanent pasture, 18% forest, and 7.5% other (Central Intelligence Agency). Rwanda is plagued by deforestation leading to a loss of biodiversity, soil erosion and landslides, flooding, and degradation of the watershed (United Nations, “Environment”). These effects create risk for the general public and decrease the capacity of the country

In postwar Sierra Leone, and amongst the many developmental challenges, food insecurity has been impeding rural development which continues to pose problems on the livelihood of the rural population which is predominantly peasant farmers. Many observers including those from the western area and foreigners always ask questions that why the rural has sufficient green and arable land which can produce them more food but failing to utilize it to grow them more.? Suspicions have been rife that land tenure might have been the impeding the production of food for food sufficiency and security. Therefore this study will further contribute in investigating the effect of the land tenure in rural Sierra Leone and will proffer recommendations that will

In the early 1950’s Rwanda’s population increased rapidly, which led the reduction size of farm holdings. In the 1960s, each family was allowed 2 hectares, but in the 1990s each family was allowed 0.7 hectares, there was more land for civilians to live, but less land for farming which caused many people to immigrate to other countries.

Rwanda is a mountainous nation with a mild, humid climate (2-1). The nation is in the Great Lakes Region of Africa. Western Rwanda contains part of the mountains of the East African Rift while the eastern side falls into the central African savanna (2-3). As such, the people of Rwanda refer to their nation as “the land of a thousand hills (12-3).” The geographic divisions of Rwanda correspond to the nation’s 22 prefectures. A minister elected from one of Rwanda’s five main political parties heads each of these political divisions (14-200). Despite the apparent insignificance of this small country, the nation was the site of one of the modern age’s deadliest

As people known, to use renewable resource and to save energy or comfortable indoor environment is far from the overall picture. Because construction mentioned above is an industry which include many aspects such as land use and application of advanced technology, etc. Therefore if we want to define what is green building we should recognize the whole industrial chain included each aspects and unintended environment, social, economic, consequence brought possibly of complex activity. Kats (2003) in his article stated that the sustainable or green building should deal with those key points: environment, resource & energy consumption, impact on people, financial impact and the world at large which is a broader set of issues such as ground water recharge or global warming, as well governmental policies are typically concerned about (Kats, 2003, P. 1). And another institute, Office of the federal Environmental Executive (2003) defined green building as the practice of increasing the efficiency with which
