Mboizi, John The establishment of the Kajjansi Clay's factory has impacted the environment and the community living around, these impacts can be solved by carrying out better ways of waste disposal, treatment of wastes before discharge in water bodies ,use of degradable products like papers rather than polythene bags which do not decay, avoiding to deposit wastes in water bodies ,use of better machines which do not produce a lot of noise and toxic to avoid air pollution through the emissions, these impacts can be due to use of faulty machines like old ones, ignorance about the environment concerns by the workers like not involving in Environmental Impact Assessment in the plan before establishing the factory failure to involve the society in their plans in terms of considering their social and economic welfare, its establishment has led to air pollutant emissions, toxic waste disposal, water contamination, climate change, loss of natural resources and extinction of species thus global threatening of the environment as well as economic and social welfare in Kamonkoli sub- county in Budaka district.

Data analysis was done statistically basing on the objectives and results were tabulated using frequency, degree and percentages and further presented on graphs and pie chart for simplification. the major objective of the study was to find out effect of subsistence arable farming on soil. The result of the survey showed the following soil nutrient depletion and infertility, poor tillage practices, land degradation, poor farming methods, increased crop pests and diseases, food insecurity, use of infected planting material, increased rural urban migration, soil erosion as it is revealed from the study. The influence of subsistence farming on vegetation includes land fragmentation, encroachment of forested areas, bush burning, loss of biodiversity, deforestation over grazing. The impact of subsistence farming on water resource they include; reduced water catchment, invasion of marginal and wetland, salination, water contamination, reduced water table. The strategies laid to streamlining subsistence farming were as follows; Use of modern agricultural technologies, agroforestry, use of the agricultural biotechnology, raising productivity of the women in agriculture, improved basic infrastructure, affordable irrigation techniques, support from the government on environmental awareness, promoting improved livelihood and household food security, promoting tree planting and afforestation, agricultural research and information generation, crop rotation, mix farming, mulching. The researcher recommended the planting of trees, mass education of the farmers, training of farmers on the new ways of adopting new method of farming should be apriority.

This study mainly focused on establishing the, negative biophysical effects of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county, positive biophysical effects of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county in Njeru municipality Buikwe district, negative socio-economic impacts of industrialization on the development of Wakiso sub county and positive socio-economic impacts of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county. Questioners, interview guides and recording methods were used by the researcher during data collection since a researcher saw it easier to administer questioners to respondents, conduct interviews and record the useful information, the objectives of the study were; to find out the negative biophysical effects of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county, to find out the positive biophysical effects of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county, to find out the negative socio-economic impacts of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county, and lastly to find out the positive socio-economic impacts of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county. The researcher discovered that the negative biophysical effects of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county which included; Air pollution, Land pollution, Water pollution and Deforestation which involved cutting down of trees so as to create more land for industrial development thus prolonged drought conditions , the positive biophysical effects of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county some of which included; Recycling of wastes, Fertilizers, and Animal feeds through processing of the industrial wastes, the negative socio-economic impacts of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county were; High crime rate, High population and Displacement of people so as to create more land for industrial development and the positive socio-economic impacts of industrialization on the development of Wakisi sub county included; Employment, Trade Settlement, Infrastructure, Government Revenue through imporsing of taxes on the industrial goods and workers. Further discoveries were on and in this study, we generated a short list of areas of more study and the preliminary list of references for use.

Asio, Sharon Scovia The aim of the study was to determine the factors affecting adoption of family planning methods in Nagongera town council in Tororo district. Family planning (FP) is a voluntary and informed decision by an individual or couple on the number of children to have and when to have them, by use of modern or natural FP methods. Modern FP methods commonly available include oral contraceptives, Depot Medroxy-Progesterone Acetate (DMPA) injections, Implants, condoms, diaphragms, Intra Uterine Devices (IUD) and voluntary sterilization (vasectomy and tubal ligation). The traditional methods include Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) and Fertility Awareness Based methods (FAB). In this study, the majority of PLWHA seeking TASO services reported use of some method of FP. Condoms were the most frequently reported FP method yet condoms are not primarily used for FP purposes among PLWHA. Current use of modern contraceptive options other than condoms was at 13%. Knowledge about FP methods and approval of one’s spouse were significant predictors of FP use. Other factors that were more likely to be associated with FP use were FP counseling provided by TASO, HIV seropositivity, and access to FP methods.
