Municipal solid waste (MSW), commonly known as garbage, refuses or rubbish, is waste consisting of everyday items that are discarded by the public. Rapid urbanisation in India accelerates the generation of MSW, thereby producing major problems with its disposal. Improper handling of MSW creates environmental and health related hazards. In this paper an attempt is made to evaluate the solid waste management within the Jangipur Municipality, a cantonment town of West Bengal. This paper portrays MSW generation, its collection, as well as the attention of local self-government to spreading diseases. The paper also highlights the issues and challenges related to MSW, while trying try to find out some scientific treatment for solid waste management.

This paper addresses a LUM (Land Use & Mobility) approach of accessibility improvement issues. It presents a deterministic radiography of the impact that a new transportation infrastructure has within its territory of influence, through the accessibility it provides. The study concludes on legislative and methodological improvements for developing a necessary, integrated LUM planning of accessibility, so as to achieve its highest capitalization and to mitigate its possible negative side-effects in the territory. The focus is on the key issues for developing a framework for a LUM planning of accessibility in the Romanian context.

The present study is focused on the adaptation formulation in water sector under the IWRM (Integrated Water Resources Management) approach. IWRM approach looks for a framework, which addresses policy objectives and the physical state in the water and land-use planning. This approach looks for the agreements between different water beneficiaries i.e., agriculture, natural system and industry and the exsiting water resources. The main objective of this approach can be conducted to explore adaptation actions to address implications on account of climate change impacts under various land-uses.

For the Romanian Danube cities, the peripheral landscapes have assimilated both the natural character, the ante-industrial identity, and the remains of the (post) industrial age, now showing a combining pattern of different and contradictory elements.

I wanted this exercise of imagination to make a brief analysis of the playground and the way we managed to organize it during childhood. Our space is subjectively centered. It is organized around us and our needs. Most of the time this space is organized around the home. The analysis of our childhood playground focus on the elements and sub-elements that determine the sense of community. My space is defined as the space in which I identify myself, where I find myself, I share memories and I feel a sense of belonging.

The longer time we spend in a certain space, the more we get to know its little secrets, discover it and thus identify with it. The perception of space is subjective, depending on the motivations of each subject and past experiences. We can lear and study the inherited rules from the way we were protecting the garden, retaining the same parking lot or by the way we organised the games in the given space. The space had also to satisfy emotional needs so that the sense of belonging can create social relationships.

Architectural space must be understood as the mental image of the built environment, a space with rules that derive from basic human relations, a space that is organised by feelings and social connections.
