Authors: Chakrabarty, Abhisek
Abstract: Ajodhya Hill in Purulia district of West Bengal is a treasure house of natural
beauties, but hilly terrain and thick forest cover have made many parts of this
region inaccessible by road and perpetual agricultural drought over decades had
weakened the economy of the area. Taking advantage of this physical and economic
handicap, an organized group of social and political activists called Left-Wing
Extremists (LWE), perpetrating violence and keeping the people of this region
under threat. Non-cooperation of local population being the prime obstacle,
government security forces with all its intelligence network and muscle power
had not been utterly succeed to stop these activities.
This UGC (University Grant Commission - Govt. of India) sponsored ‘Minor Research
Project’ plans for economic and social stabilization of this region through the
promotion of alternate economic practices for underprivileged forest dwellers
and involving them in anti-terrorism operations. Taking into account the severity
of physical environment and minimum skill level of tribal people, implementation
of ‘Ecotourism’ in these forest villages seems to be the best income-generating
activity and ecologically permissible too. Due to essentially spatially distributed
nature of tourism and terrorism related data and need of various types of spatial
and statistical analysis GIS has proven to be a successful means in this study and
based on spatial, non-spatial and attribute data overlay (‘Weighted Sum Overlay
Analysis’- ARC-GIS 9.2), ecotourism potential zones were identified. The inputs in
the form of arc-coverages were assigned relative weightages according to their
influence/importance in ecotourism development. Cadastral level action plan
maps have been prepared for ecotourism infrastructure development and
sustainable land use practices. Spatial database created on last ten years extremist
movements and terrorist attacks to identify the spatial pattern, association and
causes of vulnerability of the hot spots. Lastly spatial decisions have been made
for allocation and relocation of police out posts, military camps and local
participatory groups for fast information transfer and rapid action against any
kind of social disorder.

Authors: Sahu, Ananya; Chatterjee, Soumendu; Paul, Ashis Kr.
Abstract: Floriculture has become a highly specialized and intensive form of agriculture in
Purba Medinipur district of West Bengal.Two Blocks namely Panskura I and Kolaghat
(Formerly Panskura II) have emerged as important flower growing region of the
district. During the past few decades growth of floriculture in this region has
assume national importance in terms of increase in production and variety, thus
occupies a line share of the flower market of W.B. and India as well. This has a
tremendous bearing on the socio economy of the region and has opened a new
avenue towards economic prosperity of the region. The present paper deals
basically with the pattern of growth of floriculture in this region since 1990 and
tries to assess its economic impact on education, use of consumer’s goods ,power
of access to basic facilities etc. among the floriculturist .It explores the Block level
species wise time series production data of the flowers and analyses the
electrification, irrigation, transport facilities of the floriculturists .Finally the
study reveals that per capita income has increased by 215.67 percentage in
respect to 1990 year. It also emphasizes that though floriculture has immense
potentialities for economic prosperity of the region but problems like lack of cold
storage, market facilities, sufficient road, transport facility etc. are the major
hindrances in floricultural activities.

Authors: Mukhopadhyay, Sutapa; Pal, Swades
Abstract: River flood represents the most common geomorphic hazard encompassing a
wide range of events like largely unpredictable, highly localized, flash flood to
anticipated and widespread floods. According to the geological history of the
moribund delta formation of Ganga system of West Bengal, Kandi block of
Murshidabad district was formed by gradual deposition of sand silt and clay and
is experiencing floods almost in every year since the period of immemorial. But
the character of flood has been changing rapidly due to large scale human
interference in regard to dam & barrage construction, lofty embankment
construction, encroachment of human being to the wetland (beel) area, unplanned
road construction without much of sluice gates etc. As a result of all the deposition
within river channel & beel area have hastened as well as water retention capacity
of have reduced down in a large extent which in turn making the situation grave
some.
As per the local people’s perception also flood frequency, flood stagnation period
& flood level height have increased in a considerable extent. Memorable flood
frequency analysis of the last century has revealed that intensive flood occurrences
have been increased progressively in helter & skelter manner since after the
construction of Massonjore & Tilpara.

Authors: Dey, Sudip; Debbarma, Chandrani; Paul, Sushmita; Sarkar, Prasamita
Abstract: Micrographic studies are considered as one of the important tools for analysis of
physical characteristics of sediment depositions. Recent development of digital
technology plays very important role for analysis of physico-cheminal and
mineralogical compositions of the sediment depositions. In this study the present
author attempted to analysis some physical characteristics of late Holocene lake
deposition by digital imaging and image processing. For that purpose Rudrasagar
lake of Tripura was selected for field work and sample collection. In the
sedimentology laboratory a section was prepared from the collected sample for
micro-photography under reflected light. Image analysis at micro level was done
by multi-processing techniques with several sophisticated image processing
software.
