Pages: 117-121 Tourism is travel for recreation, leisure, religious, family or business purposes, usually for a limited duration. Tourist behavior may be socio-psychologically interpreted through a definition of the social role of the tourist, of tourist motivation, and, of social contact between tourists and hosts.

Pages: 125-127 For any nation's economic development, small & medium sized enterprises are considered as powerful engines. In India, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) contribute nearly 8 percent of the country's GDP, 45 percent of the manufacturing output and 40 percent of the exports. But empirical evidences suggest that these are also cause for 70% of the industrial pollution. The figures presented are cumulative not individual. Individuals may emit small amounts of pollution but as a whole their effect are very substantial. Unfortunately, many are not aware of the problem they are causing or even if they are aware they do not have sufficient finance to install equipments to minimize pollution. But if want sustainable development of our economy, and then we have to resolve this problem as soon as possible. It is to be realized that sustainability will lead to long term profitability and will also safeguard interests of our future generation. SMEs are essential to the 'path out of poverty' for many developing countries. On the other hand the SME sector must not be allowed to become a loophole in which polluting, exploitative industries flourish. However, support for SME development can be an important part of the Corporate Social Responsibility commitment of big companies, and improvements in social and environmental impact can go hand in hand with improvements in quality and management. In the case of SMEs in developing countries, upgrading the quality of their technology, management, and marketing, are likely to be equally pressing concerns, which need to be addressed in parallel with social and environmental impacts. Thus, it is imperative to educate entrepreneurs about the impact of environmental issues in their own interest. They should be made to realize that production of eco-friendly products will enhance profitability and contribute to long run success of business. |

Pages: 145-153 National Capital Region (NCR), has been emerging as a gigantic magnet, attracting people not only from the proximate states of Haryana, Rajasthan and U.P. but also from the far-flung regions of the country. National Capital Region had grown in a haphazard and unplanned manner due to fast urban growth. Most of the cities in developing countries become over-populated and over-crowded partly as a result of the increase in population over the decades and partly as a result of migration of persons from the countryside to the big industrialized cities in search of employment. Most of the mega urban centre in the NCR are situated near to National Capital Territory (NCT) and create urban conurbation, this conurbation leads to un-sustainability and urban environmental degradation. Trend and pattern of urbanization as well the urban growth are the locational biased, therefore area which are having the locational advantages or having the proximity to big urban centre, having accessibility to highway and other socio political advantages are grows faster as compare to other disadvantages area. In that case especially the metro connected cities are showing the boosted growth. |

Pages: 148-151 The current LPG model of development has introduced several constraints and challenges for both labour and management. In a much changed situation the age-old concepts of social justice and equitable development have become almost irrelevant to the captains of modern industry. Market globalism necessitates the rise of a work culture that speaks only in favour of efficiency, productivity and discipline. A thin and lean work force with high moral and skill have become a need of the day. The current notion of voluntary retirement (V.R), therefore, cannot be studied in isolation from the changes in industrial and work processes affecting our life today. As VR is sudden and mostly compulsory, it induces a role-less-role for the workers who now have to fight with uncertainty, dissatisfaction, fear and loss of identity. The current process of VR has, therefore, contributed to several social, economic, psychological and personal problems of the workers and their family members. , it is necessary to review the context of the emergence of voluntary retirement as a strategy of industrial restructuring. Changes in the nature of work and employment worldwide have left several imprints on labour processes and managerial practices. It is important to study these changes because they have shaped the ideologies and perceptions of industrial work today. An examination of these changes would also help us understand the evolution of the current notion of voluntary retirement. Secondly, a brief overview of the processes related to market reforms in India since early 1990's is needed to understand the relationship between voluntary retirement and economic liberalization in the Indian context. |
Pages: 152-154 Satisfaction is key Challenge, growth and learning is three factors that keep employees productive and satisfied.

Pages: 160-166 The word "pornography" comes from the Greek words "porno and "graphia" meaning "depictions of the activities of whores." In common parlance, it usually means "material that is sexually explicit and intended primarily for the purpose of sexual arousal.”Obscenity," however, is a legal term which was defined by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 1973 Miller V. California decision. For something to be found obscene, and therefore the material has to meet all three tests before it can be found obscene in the eyes of the law and its distribution prohibited. This means that something could be regarded as "pornographic" but still not be obscene, such as an explicit sex film produced and used to teach medical students about human sexuality, or a film or book with serious artistic and/or literary value which has some explicit sexual content. Thus, the Supreme Court has protected a wide variety of sexual matter in movies, books, magazines and in other formats from being prohibited for sale and exhibition to adults (there is a stricter standard with respect to minors). Under the Miller test, however, the distribution of pornographic material which is obscene, such as most of what has been called "hardcore," can be prohibited and penalties proscribed. |
