Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inauguramos una nueva serie “azul” en Arquitectonics titulada Teorías y prácticas avanzadas, en la investigación sobre arquitectura y urbanismo, con un volumen introductorio al tema de las relaciones entre mente, sociedad y territorio. Ello ha sido posible gracias a una red de coedición entre diversas universidades y a un nuevo comité científico internacional de altísimo nivel. Este número incluye conferencias realizadas en el congreso internacional sobre Arquitectonics llevado a cabo en Barcelona en el año 2004, y resume además tres conferencias de arquitectos en este mismo congreso con una “buena” práctica, manteniendo los textos en su versión “hablada”, como si fuera un nivel “práctico” más, aunque ello conlleve un cierto desorden en los escritos.

Book Synopsis Cotas de reserva ambiental no novo código florestal Brasileiro: Uma avaliação ex-ante by : Peter H. May
Download or read book Cotas de reserva ambiental no novo código florestal Brasileiro: Uma avaliação ex-ante written by Peter H. May and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O Código Florestal do Brasil (FC) requer que todas as propriedades privadas rurais mantenham uma proporção fixa da sua área em vegetação natural como uma reserva legal cujas proporções são diferenciadas por bioma. Os proprietários de terra têm muitas vezes ignoradas a lei. Atingir seu pleno cumprimento exigiria uma restauração cara em áreas convertidas para outros usos. Mudanças recentes no FC preveem que os proprietários possam compensar a sua escassez de reserva legal através da compra de excedentes existentes ou restaurações obrigatórias em outras propriedades. Este artigo discute questões políticas críticas a respeito de Cotas de Reserva Ambiental (CRA). Examinamos a eficácia ambiental relativa da CRA, a sua eficiência na utilização dos recursos e a sua justiça social, bem como potenciais problemas de implementação. Permitindo a compensação com base na conservação fora do local pode permitir atividades agropecuárias mais eficientes e menos fragmentadas, bem como a conservação das florestas, em comparação com a proposição de conservaçãopadronizada proporcionalmente. A CRA, como uma opção para a compensação, possui grande apelo intuitivo, embora persistem controvérsias em relação a sua implementação. Neste artigo revisamos a experiência internacional com instrumentos econômicos semelhantes, bem como estudos brasileiros que simulam os potenciais resultados da CRA. Entrevistas com os principais atores a respeito do instrumento complementam a revisão da literatura. Terminamos com uma avaliação sintética das implicações dos nossos resultados para a implementação da política.
Book Synopsis The Imaginative Institution: Planning and Governance in Madrid by : Michael Neuman
Download or read book The Imaginative Institution: Planning and Governance in Madrid written by Michael Neuman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every 20 years since 1920, Madrid has undergone an urban planning cycle in which a city plan was prepared, adopted by law, and implemented by a new institution. This preparation-adoption-institutionalization sequence, along with the institution's structures and procedures, have persisted - with some exceptions - despite frequent upheavals in society. The planning institution itself played a lead role in maintaining continuity, traumatic history notwithstanding. Why and how was this the case? Madrid's planners, who had mostly trained as architects, invented new images for the city and metro region: images of urban space that were social constructs, the products of planning processes. These images were tools that coordinated planning and urban policy. In a complex, fragmented institutional milieu in which scores of organized interests competed in overlapping policy arenas, images were a cohesive force around which plans, policies, and investments were shaped. Planners in Madrid also used their images to build new institutions. Images began as city or metropolitan designs or as a metaphor capturing a new vision. New political regimes injected their principles and beliefs into the governing institution via images and metaphors. These images went a long way in constituting the new institution, and in helping realize each regime's goals. This empirically-based life cycle theory of institutional evolution suggests that the constitutional image sustaining the institution undergoes a change or is replaced by a new image, leading to a new or reformed institution. A life cycle typology of institutional transformation is formulated with four variables: type of change, stimulus for change, type of constitutional image, and outcome of the transformation. By linking the life cycle hypothesis with cognitive theories of image formation, and then situating their synthesis within a frame of cognition as a means of structuring the institution, this book arrives at a new theory

Book Synopsis Lagoa Santa Karst: Brazil's Iconic Karst Region by : Augusto S. Auler
Download or read book Lagoa Santa Karst: Brazil's Iconic Karst Region written by Augusto S. Auler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the Lagoa Santa Karst, which has been internationally known since the pioneering studies of the Danish naturalist Peter Lund in the early 1800s. It covers the speleogenesis, geology, vegetation, fauna, hydrogeology, geomorphology, and anthropogenic use of the Lagoa Santa Karst and is the first English-language book on this major karst area. The area, which has been at the heart of the debate on the origin and age of human colonization in the Americas, is characterized by a classical and scenic karst landscape with limestone cliffs, karst lakes and karst plains, in addition to numerous solution dolines. More than 1,000 caves have been documented in the area, many with significant archeological and paleontological value. Despite its great importance, the Lagoa Santa Karst faces severe environmental threats due to limestone mining and the expansion of the metropolis of Belo Horizonte and its surrounding towns. The growing recognition of the area’s remarkable significance has led to increasing concern, and a number of protected areas have now been established, improving the conservation status of this landmark karst area.
Book Synopsis Portuguese Literature and the Environment by : Victor K. Mendes
Download or read book Portuguese Literature and the Environment written by Victor K. Mendes and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portuguese Literature and the Environment explores the relationship between Portuguese literature and the environment from Medieval times to the present. From the centrality of nature in Medieval poetry, through the bucolic verse of the Renaissance, all the way to the Romantic and post-Romantic nostalgia for a pristine natural or rural landscape under threat in the wake of industrialization, Portuguese literature has frequently reflected on the connection between humans and the natural world. More recently, the postcolonial turn in contemporary literature has highlighted the contrast between the environment of the former colonies and that of Portugal. Contributors to the collection examine how Portuguese writers engage with the environment and have incorporated nature in their texts not only to prompt social, political or philosophical reflections on human society, but also as a way to learn from non-humans. The book is organized into three sections. The first explores the relationship between Portuguese philosophy, historiography, culture, and environmental issues. The second section discusses the link between literary texts and the environment from the Renaissance to 1900. The final section analyzes the connection between literary movements or specific authors and environmental change from 1900 to today. Scholars of literature, Latin American studies, literature, and environmental studies will find this volume especially useful.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Portugal by : Stephen Syrett
Download or read book Contemporary Portugal written by Stephen Syrett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002. Portugal experienced rapid and dramatic change over the final decades of the twentieth century. After the turbulence that followed the 1974 revolution, the 1980s and 1990s provided a period of unprecedented political stability and economic modernization during which Portugal converged rapidly with the wealthier member states of the European Union. This important new volume offers a timely focus on this recent period. Written for a wide audience by a multidisciplinary team of experts, the book provides an accessible overview and analysis of the key dimensions of recent economic and political change in Portugal and identifies the tensions and policy challenges that rapid change has produced. In so doing the book reveals something of the complexity of contemporary Portugal: an outward looking modern, democratic and European state, but one where the legacy of its recent traditional, colonial and often inward looking past continues to influence and shape its development in the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis Oceanography and Marine Environment in the Basque Country by : A. Borja
Download or read book Oceanography and Marine Environment in the Basque Country written by A. Borja and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-03-03 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against a background of extensive multi-disciplinary oceanographic investigations over a number of years, together with the long-term establishment of a Society and Institute, extensive information is available from studies undertaken in the estuarine and coastal waters of the Basque Country.The present authors gained access to unpublished literature and reports which, together with a synthesis of internationally-refereed papers, provide a series of scientific overviews of particular subject areas. Teams of researchers (from Basque Institutes and Universities) combine to present the present 'state of knowledge', within a global context, of processes ranging from sub-seabed to air-sea interaction - incorporating data on the associated biology (including fisheries) and pollutant sources and levels. The latter are compared with regional, national and European legislation. The volume is divided into various sections: Introduction; Geography and Oceanography; Chemical Oceanography and Water Quality; Sediment Characteristics, Quality and Chemistry; Biomonitoring; Communities and Ecology; and Overall Assessment.The topics covered include: an historical review of marine research; the impact of human activities, during past centuries; geology, geomorphology and sediments; climate and meteorology; marine dynamics; hydrography; water mass characteristics; contaminants in the waters; microbiological quality; sedimentological characteristics; contaminants in sediments; biomonitoring of heavy metals and organic components, at tissue organism level and using cellular and molecular biomarkers; bacterioplankton and phytoplankton communities; zooplankton communities; benthic communities; seabirds; biodiversity and conservation; recovery of benthic communities; the polluted systems; and assessment of human impacts. On the basis of these syntheses, future challenges for marine research in the Basque Country are identified, in terms of a 'Research Agenda'. This comprehensive text, relating to estuarine, coastal and oceanographic processes at wide-ranging spatial and temporal scales in the southern Bay of Biscay, will be of interest to researchers, engineers and legislators - on a regional basis and within a world-wide perspective.

Book Synopsis Indigenous Amazonia, Regional Development and Territorial Dynamics by : Walter Leal Filho
Download or read book Indigenous Amazonia, Regional Development and Territorial Dynamics written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a valuable collection of case studies and conceptual approaches that outline the present state of Amazonia in the 21st century. The many problems are described and the benefits, as well as the achievements of regional development are also discussed. The book focuses on three themes for discussion and recommendations: indigenous peoples, their home (the forest), and the way(s) to protect and sustain their natural home (biodiversity conservation). Using these three themes this volume offers a comprehensive critical review of the facts that have been the reality of Amazonia and fills a gap in the literature.The book will appeal to scholars, professors and practitioners. An outstanding group of experienced researchers and individuals with detailed knowledge of the proposed themes have produced chapters on an array of inter-related issues to demonstrate the current situation and future prospects of Amazonia. Issues investigated and debated include: territorial management; indigenous territoriality and land demarcation; ethnodevelopment; indigenous higher education and capacity building; natural resource appropriation; food security and traditional knowledge; megadevelopmental projects; indigenous acculturation; modernization of Amazonia and its regional integration; anthropogenic interventions; protected areas and conservation; political ecology; postcolonial issues, and the sustainability of Amazonia.
