Abstract

This study focuses on the macroeconomic, environmental, and socioeconomic determinants that would bring an impact on the healthcare. The ASEAN countries' economic growth, carbon emissions, urban population, and energy consumption are hypothesized to be correlated with healthcare expenditure. This study aims to investigate the impact of each factor affecting healthcare expenditure in these six ASEAN countries. The study looks into six ASEAN countries, i.e. Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei Darussalam for the period of 2010-2014. A panel data analysis was conducted to meet the objectives of this study. To test the stationarity of the data, panel unit root tests including Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and Phillips-Perron (PP) test were conducted. Next, Poolability F-test, Hausman test and Breusch-Pagan Lagrange Multiplier test had been carried out in order to select the best estimation model out of the three models which are Pooled Ordinary Least Square (POLS), Fixed Effect Model (FEM) and Random Effect Model (REM). Both ADF test and PP test suggested that all the variables were in stationary at second differencing with trend and without trend at the significance level of 1%. The following results of Poolability F-test, Hausman test and Breusch-Pagan Lagrange Multiplier test revealed that REM is the best estimation model to be applied in this study. Based on the REM findings, there is a negative relationship between economic growth at 1% significant level and HE that does not reflect Wagner’s Law in the context of this study. The finding of an insignificant relationship between carbon emission and HE at 1% significant level also does not reflect the Social Capital Theory which suggests that poor environmental quality and subsequent health damages lead to higher government health spending. The conclusion of this study had inferred that both economic growth and urban population have a negative significant impact towards healthcare expenditure in countries where private healthcare services, especially those located in urban centres, play important roles in complementing public healthcare services in serving the population. Meanwhile, carbon emission and energy usage are found insignificant to healthcare expenditure.

Abstract

Hand-washing practice, which is globally recognized as the simplest, most affordable and effective way of curtailing the spread of infectious diseases, is still low in developing countries. This is largely influenced by the dearth and adequacy of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities. This paper investigated the level of availability and adequacy of WASH facilities in secondary schools in a developing, sub-Sharan country, particularly Lagos State, Nigeria. Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) guided this research. In all, 620 pupils were selected through multi-stage sampling methods. Two local government areas were selected from each of the three senatorial zones in the study area. Through purposive sampling method, Junior Secondary 3 (JS 3 or Basic 9), and Senior Secondary 3 (SS3) were selected from each local government of the State, comprising schools that are owned by Lagos State Government the others are privately owned. Research instruments adopted included questionnaire, focus group discussion guide, document observation and unobtrusive observation of hand hygiene facilities. Quantitative data were analyzed through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), while focus group data and related online media materials were analyzed based on research themes. Findings showed that majority of the respondents (87.4%) admitted that the most common type of toilet facility was a water closet, followed by a pit latrine (13.7%) and open space (1.6%) for defecation. Although respondents were on average satisfied with the level of provision of running water in secondary schools in Lagos State, the majority considered the provision of wash hand basin to be very inadequate. Researchers therefore recommend improvement of structures and facilities relating to WASH in schoolls throughout Lagos State, Nigeria.

Abstract

Climate change has been considered the most significant environmental catastrophe which is currently threatening human survival. Like the rest of other countries on the African continent, climate change in Nigeria has debilitating effects on both the people and the community due to vulnerability and poor coping capability of the people. Numerous studies related to the problem of rising temperatures in Africa are now being carried out and documented. However, only a little research evidence is available, particularly from Nigeria, regarding the way socio-demographic factors and sources of information are related to climate change awareness. The Afrobarometer Round 7 data for Nigeria was released in 2019 with a sample of 1600 drawn from the 36 states in the country through a clustered, stratified, multi-stage, random sample. The data were subjected to different statistical analyses of t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and regression. The study found that a majority of participants received information about climate change on the internet, social media, TV, and radio. Only a few of the participants obtained climate change-related information from the newspapers. The results showed significant differences in climate change awareness based on gender and place of respondents’ residences. One-way ANOVA showed that significant differences exist in climate change awareness among educational and regional groups. However, no significant difference was found in the awareness of climate change among age groups. In contrast, a significant positive relationship among gender, place of residence, region, and awareness of climate change was observed. Internet news and climate change awareness were found to be negatively significantly related. Stepwise regression analysis showed that internet news was the most parsimonious set of climate change predictors. It is suggested that for a better understanding of climate change, government agencies and other stakeholders should use the internet and various social media platforms to disseminate information related to climate change. Subscription to social media platforms should be made cheap for the citizens for broader coverage which in turn engenders well-informed citizenry.

Abstract

Housing conditions in the coral barracks become interesting as research subjects to find out that the housing condition covers all-encompassing in both the dwelling’s physical attributes and housing satisfaction. Generally, having satisfactory housing accommodation is among the most prized aspects of human begins’ lives and a key component of people’s material living standards. The aim of this study was to assess the attributes and level of housing conditions in Coral Barracks, Nigeria to explore housing conditions and their attributes and cover only the non-commissioned officers’ quarters. A quantitative method using a questionnaire survey was used and the population size was 774 apartments with a sample size of 260, while the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as parametric measurements. A total number of 194 questionnaires retrieved from the respondents were used in the analyses. The findings from the physical condition attributes showed that the number of bedrooms, walls, and floors were in fair condition, while the roof, kitchen, and toilet/bath were in poor condition. Neighborhood attributes of hospitals, worship centers, sports facilities, and schools were in fair condition, building services attributes of security, water supply, fire protection, sewage & solid waste disposal and road networks were in fair condition, while laundry, internet, and drainage are in poor condition. The study recommends that a standard strategic plan for efficient barrack housing construction, management, and maintenance be designed. Dealing with the study, it can be concluded that housing conditions in coral barracks, Nigeria, are in the condition that requires rehabilitation to revitalize the standard of the housing condition implied that the management of Coral Barracks through the Logistics Department and Engineering Maintenance Group (EMG) is requested to expeditiously carry out general renovation of the soldiers’ accommodation as well as improve on the provision of auxiliary building services and neighbourhoods amenities in the study area with this it may still be part of the conclusion that the housing condition in the study is not fair.

Abstract

In the worldwide, the impacts associated with the use of technological innovations and developmental processes in the built environment through the construction of buildings are phenomenal. This is noticeable in the literature on the role of green building practices in building construction, building operation and optimization, and building management; respectively. This has led stakeholders and policy drivers to adopt principles of sustainability by producing green building rating systems to assess building stock at different stages of their life cycle. Dealing with the issue, this paper aimed to review various attempts made by selected nations and other stakeholders to produce green building rating tools and focused on the need to develop a green building rating system for Nigeria to enhance the sustainability performance of the country’s building stock. Given the various efforts by countries around the world to develop green building assessment tools, the paper found and maintained that Nigeria as a geographical entity cannot decide to be left out of the global trend to achieve sustainability through the need to have its own Green Building Rating System. The paper, therefore, recommended that there is a need to consider various assessments of the existing green building in either tropical or temperate region around the world and have a domestic green building rating assessment for the country to ensure that sustainability of her building stock can be promoted.

Abstract

Community participation is required for managing solid waste. In Indonesia, community acceptance and participation in solid waste management are assessed by the presence of a waste bank at the village or neighborhood level. This study aimed to find out the source, economic potency, and handling system of solid waste in a village setting. This study took place at Ketapang Village, Mauk Sub District, Tangerang Regency, Indonesia. This study evaluated the community participation in the waste bank in Ketapang Village, which is called, Sakumis Bersalaman Waste Bank, and its potential to manage solid waste and generate some profits for the community. Some steps were performed to obtain the answer to the research question. A desk review was conducted to analyze the current waste management practice. Solid waste generation data was taken from an 8-days survey of the collected waste managed by the waste bank. In-depth interviews with 96 households were conducted to find out the potential of future waste bank development. It was found that from 1,988 households in Ketapang Village only 448 households participated in Sakumis Bersalaman Waste Bank. Based on the results of the analysis on the questionnaire which was distributed randomly to 182 households which are communities around the waste bank, it was found that 51.4% of respondents were not yet members of the waste bank. From this percentage, 94.4% of them declared that they want to be waste bank members. It is suggested to Shakumis Bersalaman Waste Bank to add members so that more waste will be recycled. In this way, the community will receive more benefits. From the results, we concluded that community participation through a waste bank, especially a better waste management system, is the potential way to increase the economic level of the village. Moreover, a waste bank could facilitate better solid waste management and produce a sustainable circular economy at the village level.

Abstract

The occurrence of flooding events and the associated risks are increasing in the urban areas of most developing countries. Flooding in any circumstance causes major stresses on affected area’s economic, social and environmental regimes. Therefore, the current study presents a flood analysis and hydraulic competence of existing drainage structures on some selected roads of Addis Ababa City, after integration with Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit (AALRT) Drainage Systems. The existing side drains and cross drainage structures located within the study area were inspected and assessed to ascertain different aspects relating to their performance. Different watersheds were delineated. Hydrological analysis was then carried out using Geospatial tools such as ARCGIS, ARCSWAT, and HEC GEOHMS to determine the different watersheds contributing to the flows. The flows were obtained from the rational method for areas less than 0.5 km2 and HEC HMS for areas greater than 0.5 km2. The hydraulic analysis was carried out using HY-8 for the culvert and the Hydraulic toolbox for side drains. It was found from field surveys and measurements that the existing side drain of 900 mm circular pipe could not convey the maximum flow. The existing box culvert, which comprised of one barrel was able to convey the design flow of 29.52 m3/s with a headwater elevation of 2300.94 m. The existing box culvert was sufficient in conveying the designed flow since its headwater elevation was lower than that of the roadway elevation. However, observations like the presence of accumulated silt, debris within most side drains, and an undersized side drain reduced its hydraulic competence. The undersized side drain was redesigned by increasing its diameter to 1200 mm. The study acts as a yardstick for drainage assessment, especially for existing structures, an indicator for identifying the most flood-prone areas along the railway track. It recommended an intermediate cross culvert before Lancha, regular desilting, and putting screens at inlets of side drains and some distance before the entrance of the culverts. Periodic maintenance of the existing drainage structures and widening of the pipe conduits for the side drains to about 1200 mm for easy maintenance is also necessary.
