This book is the output of empirical research on communities and livelihood strategies in developing countries. It reveals how rural communities are functioning and earning their livelihoods by making the best use of the resources, local/internal, or external/new, and the combination of the two to counteract the various challenges they face, with the ultimate goal of becoming resilient to local or global shocks and sustaining that resilience. Local governance is identified as crucial in ensuring sustainable livelihoods as it ensures healthy collaboration between communities, on the one hand, and civil society and those communities, on the other hand, in promoting self-sustaining development trajectories. Similarly, the role of social capital is not ignored as it brings in community drive and a sense of purpose, direction, and solidarity among community members which facilitates problem solving in periods of crises and disasters.                                                       . 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aCity planning 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aQuality of Life Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aCity planning. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 14$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 676 $a307.72091724 702 $aMaharjan$b Keshav Lall$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298363103321 996 $aCommunities and Livelihood Strategies in Developing Countries$92496883 997 $aUNINA
