Frequency and severity of local and regional hazards have already reached to a crisis due to intensive land uses and land use changes. In the reverse process of land use changes in geographic and economic trends disturb the delicate balance of the ecosystem of the mountain environment leading to increase in the gravity of risks and frequency of Hazards. The book is endowed with academic orientation, scientific approach and planning expertise. It is helpful to Research Scholars, Geographers, Scientists, Environmentalists, Land Use Planners, Engineers in addition to the layman having interest in Environmental Studies and Mountain Development. | ||
