The aim of this study was to evaluate the use Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) in predicting water demand in Lusaka City. The specific objective was to analyse the spatial distribution of water demand in the city, examine spatial relationships between water demand and its predictors and...

In this thesis we study some of the properties of homogeneous spaces. We are more interested in homogeneous spaces which are also manifolds. We have shown that homogeneous spaces are basically quotient spaces. Working with quotient spaces, we pushed to symplectic quotient, the...

The creation of new districts in Zambia has in the recent past been given more attention following the implementation of the decentralisation by a devolution model in order to take public services closer to the people. The study sought to evaluate the capacity of the new Mwansabombwe Town Council...

In this thesis, we recall three types of convexities in metric spaces, namely; Menger convexity, Takahashi convexity andM-convexity. We then generalise these convexities to the framework of T0-quasi-metric spaces. Since the concept of convexities heavily relies on the concept of betweenness, a...

Floods have been one of the recurring hazards with increased magnitude in Botswana due to heavy convective rainfall and tropical cyclones effects which eventually cause flood disasters. Gaborone is one of the areas hardest hit by floods in Botswana, yet the country is always caught off guard by...

Zambia's forest resources have been disappearing at an alarming rate. This study reports on forest cover changes and forest management approaches in state-owned forests; a case of Kalulu Forest Reserve No. 32 in Kabwe District, in Central Province. Data was collected through questionnaire survey...

Although the charcoal value chain generates significant employment opportunities, men and women do not necessarily participate the same way, and benefits may not be evenly distributed between them. Gender is a core issue deserving of distinction among many issues that affect human fairness and...

The introduction of Co- management in Mweru- Luapula fishery in the early 1990’s by the Department of Fisheries (DOF) aimed at replacing exclusionary state control. However, lack of supporting legislation and funding in most fisheries led to its collapse. Currently, co-management legislation...

The concept of hyperconvexity in metric spaces was introduced by Aronszajn and Panichpakdi in 1956. This concept was then generalised to the framework of quasi-metric spaces by John Isbell in 1964, which he called Isbell convexity. In 2019, Yi git and Efe generalised this concept of...
