This book examines the concept of neighbourhood over space and time and understands how neighbourhoods can impact human health and well-being. It discusses the identification of neighbourhood boundaries, features of individual neighbourhoods, and the concept of neighbourhood in some major world as well as Indian cities. Based on extensive research, this study refers to both primary as well as secondary sources of data using various statistical and geo-spatial techniques. The first section of the book focuses on the concept of neighbourhood, concept of neighbourhood unit, methods used in the identification of neighbourhood boundaries and theories related to neighbourhood effects on health. The subsequent section of the book deals with a case study on neighbourhood effects on health in an Indian city. The case study is followed by a comparison of its results with other global studies.This book will be useful to the departments of Geography, Public Health, Sociology and Social Work. It will also be of use to professionals and practitioners like city planners, architects, NGOs, Environmentalists, and urban policy makers.

This edited volume presents updated and significant contributions to the study of climate change and ecosystem services, with a strong focus on real-world case studies from diverse geographic regions, especially across Asia. The book explores how climate change affects the ecosystem services that support human well-being and economic stability, also highlights the need for conservation, sustainable land management and policy action to mitigate these impacts. Combining traditional environmental research with the latest advancements in satellite-based Earth observation and remote sensing, the book showcases innovative methods and applications for monitoring environmental changes. It emphasizes how remote sensing technologies can be used to track land use transformation, climate-induced changes, and ecosystem responses with greater accuracy. With contributions from internationally recognized researchers, this book will be a valuable resource for scientists, academics, graduate and postgraduate students, and professionals working in the fields of remote sensing, climate science, environmental studies, and natural resource management. It offers both theoretical insights and practical tools to address the urgent challenges of climate change and its impact on ecosystems worldwide.
