This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 1,0, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Institut für Landschaftsökologie und Ressourcenmanagement), course: Natural Resources and Ecosystem Services, language: English, abstract: Ephemeral rivers, such as the Kuiseb, are from tremendous importance for the dependent ecosystems, economies and people that rely on its water resources. It is part of a unique landscape, which has formed under extreme conditions. Highly specialized, often endemic species were able to emerge. This study sets forth to consider in detail some of its unique features. The Topnaar (≠Aonin) are an indigenous population living along the Kuiseb for centuries that has managed to practice agriculture in this very barren and hyper-arid landscape mainly by cultivating native, endemic plants. To emphasize this, the Ecosystem services model (MA [Millenium Ecosystem Assessment], 2005) was applied to identify and classify the ecosystem services offerd by the Kuiseb River. The study will also take a look at Namibias community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) which is one of the longest established payment for ecosystem services scheme of the world. Moreover, the Kuiseb Basin Management Committee (KBMC) will be considered, which strives to provide efficient and equitable access to water and sustainable use of related resources in the Kuiseb River basin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectural research is being redefined in practice. Whereas once the value of a piece of research was solely measured by the number of citations it received by fellow academics, shifting funding models and new societal concerns are forcing academia to question its structure and this mode of evaluation. At the same time a wave of practitioners and new types of institutions, such as RMIT in Melbourne and the London School of Architecture (LSA), have been recasting architectural education and theoretical speculation within practice, turning the traditional architectural studio into a learning environment that adopts and adapts academic models, and starts to use architectural research as a potential source of business intelligence, as a means for self-generating future commissions and speculative opportunities that sometimes even shift the terrain of practice. This new focus on research in practice is indicative of a profession redefining its relevance and scope. This is destabilising the traditional roles of academia and practice by questioning their deep-rooted separation and demanding a new definition of the term ‘research’ with one that is relevant to both parties. This issue features contributions from architectural thinkers, researchers and a number of practitioners who are recasting academic speculation within their own studios. This not only redefines what is meant by research and what forms it takes, but also how it creates value for them, their clients, for the discipline as a whole and for the ultimate users of their designs. This helps us to understand how research might be deemed valuable beyond a purely academic context. Moreover, it raises significant questions in terms of opportunities and risks that arise when research is recast into the less regimented realm of practice.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations estimates that more than 2 billion people in over 40 countries are negatively affected by water shortages. Increasing demand for water has been identified as one of four major factors that will threaten human and ecological health over the next generation. As public health, development, economy and nature suffer, ensuring access to clean water is rising towards the top of government agendas. Water resources management is the aggregate of policies and activities used to provide clean water to meet human needs across sectors and jurisdictions and to sustain the water-related ecological systems upon which we depend. Knowledge that is crucial for water management is distributed across governments, non-governmental organizations and the water users themselves. In most circumstances, water management aims to address the interests of and integrate usage across hydrologically meaningful units, such as watersheds. Some management aspects, however, such as transboundary flows across multiple basins and inter-basin water transfers via channels or virtual water, may necessitate a broader geographical scope. Public participation aims actively to increase attention to and inclusion of the interests of those who are usually marginalized, e.g. politically disenfranchised minorities or poor people indirectly affected by water management. In this book, the authors identify successful mechanisms, approaches and practices for promoting public involvement in water resources management, including both conventional approaches and those based on information technology.

Book excerpt: The management of rights-of-way by electric and telephone utilities, highway departments, gas pipeline companies, and railroads around the world is guided and constrained by policies and regulations to protect the environment. Companies that manage rights-of-way are required to comply with these regulations, and are seeking the most cost-effective management practices that, at the same time, demonstrate stewardship of the environment. Protection of biodiversity and sustainable development are especially important as national goals in many countries, and rights-of-way managers are seeking practical ways to include public participation in their operations. * Addresses environmental issues in rights-of-way planning and management * Provides a forum for information exchange among various agencies, industries, environmental consultants, and academic organizations * Presents peer-reviewed papers to help achieve a better understanding of current environmental issues involved in rights-of-way management
