Coastal Zone Management in Yogyakarta Province

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The continuous process occurred at the ocean and land created a certain coastal typology based on the genesis process and its building material, thus every certain coastal typology will give characteristics to the landscape and various resources on the coastal zone. By zoning the coastal typology from its physical aspects of the land (subsequently called coastal physical typology), it will ease in doing a correct coastal planning and management according to its condition. This response-process system divide the coastal physical typology into seven classes including coastal typology of land erosion coast, sub aerial deposition coast, volcanic coast, structurally shaped coast, wave erosion coast, marine deposition coast and coast built by organism. Recommendation for developing and managing coastal zone in area of interest is by developing the coastal natural resources suitable to its physical typology, because this will make the management of coastal zone for continuous development easier ····· 10361134322

Hatay is located on the historical cross roads that have linked three continents to each other, and it has always been the focus of beliefs and cultures. Hatay has performed the function of a bridge between the Middle East and Turkey. Ethnic origins of some of the societies in Hatay share common features with those of the cities in the vicinity. Many monasteries, churches and synagogues that reflect the Christian and Jewish cultural heritage and number of Turkish-Islamic works of arts are among the factors that attract attention towards Hatay. Hence, it can be said that the field of research is a vitally important place in cultural tourism of Turkey. There are cultural heritages of different beliefs that pave the way for the development of the belief tourism potential. Ethnic and folkloric values are among the leading elements when we analyze the cultural tourism potential. Furthermore, traditional houses, food and drinks of different cultures, language, multiculturalism, special occasions and ceremonies, different ethnic groups in many places such as Antakya, Samanda etc. are the factors that converts Hatay into a cultural landscape. ····· 10361134078

The Manahara River flows over Kathmandu and Bhaktapur districts (topo sheets: 2785 06A, 2785 06B, 2785 02D, 2785 03 C, 2785 07A latitude from 27°40`00`N to 27°47`3`N and longitude 85°20`00`E to 85°32`30`E). The total length of the river is 31km, which extends from northeast towards southeast and confluences with the Bagmati River. The style and degree of meandering depends on a number of geological factors, including tectonics. The general objective of the study is to find out the meandering pattern of the river. For this four years river patterns (1989, 1995, 2001 and 2007) were gathered with help of Topo-sheet and Google earth. The pattern was compared and analyzed by using GIS software (Arc View GIS 3.3), AutoCAD and Microsoft Excel. Study gave the river has been mostly shifted to NNW direction. The maximum shifting distance was found to be approximately 330m which is meandered to eastward direction in account of river trail of 1989. Bank caving is one of the main causes of river instability and therefore degrades the agricultural land resulting decreases in crop yield and huge economic crisis to the local farmers. Dominance of coarse sand was observed in the site. ····· 10361134066

Total Bed Material Load Equation Development for Mountain Rivers

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The applicability of the Total Bed Material Load equations (TBMLe) depends on its parameter, sampling techniques and its mathematical approaches. However, most of the existing TBMLe are developed based on databases obtained from laboratory scale simulations or field measurements at low to medium gradient rivers only and less studied for MR especially in the tropical areas. Thus, the work reported in this book is intended to give a step by step guide on how to develop a TBMLe for MR with study reaches having gravelled and cobble beds with diverse morphological characteristics. The steps adopted in the field data collection and analyses are explained with the aid of photographs. The derivations of new TBMLe by detailed statistical analyses are proved based on worked examples. It is evident that the usage of native field data for equation development further improves the predictive power of the TBMLe and the new equation can be applied for MR and reservoirs sedimentation calculations. This book is best utilised by water resources engineers who worked on the management of sediment transport in the Mountain Rivers ····· 10361133673

Regime Politics and Service Delivery: The Cape Town Unicity Council Area

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In the Cape Town Unicity Council, the frequent regime changes (2000-2008) and conflictual nature of local state politics between the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA), had a negative effect on service delivery in the study areas of Parkwood Estate and Ottery. Regime politics advances that the complex relationship between political parties determines the quality and stability of the political order, and political actors are responsible for shaping the urban political arena. In addition, political coalitions are often unstable and realign with changing times and conditions. In the Cape Town Unicity Council, the changes in regime meant that each new administration introduced a new set of policies which saw the rejection of certain development projects and their replacement with others. This lack of follow through on policies meant that the city administration was destabilised and, with the loss of skilled employees, service delivery was impeded. The consequences of this were evident in Parkwood Estate and Ottery. ····· 10361133555

After reviewing the literature from the disciplines of geography,sociology,psychology and south Asia,this study has tried to explore the mental maps of the Indian children about the SAARC countries. During the study ,it has been found out that Indian children,under the influence of formal and informal set up,are carrying the mental maps in their mind,which are matching up with the reality.They are carrying biases,prejudices and stereotype attitude about their neighboring countries. The researcher has attributed all these as the major factors of dampening the spirit of the SAARC as a political organization.Despite of having its existence for more than two decades,it has failed to mark its entry at the regional and international level ,somewhere because of the low spirit of the people,particularly people of India about the Neighboring countries as reflected through the responses of the children on the knowledge and preference surface respectively. This study concluded by giving recommendations at different levels,which could help the SAARC to mark its forceful imprint at the different levels. ····· 10361133272

Increase In Dissolved Organic Carbon: A Palaeolimnological Analysis

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Over the past two decades, rising concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) have been observed in many freshwater lakes in Great Britain. Rising levels of DOC have implications for water quality and the carbon and energy balance of a system. Several hypotheses have been suggested to explain recent trends in DOC however, a recent hypothesis suggests that reductions in acidifying emissions and thus sulphur deposition over the past two decades augmented by a decline in marine ion loading has been the cause behind the recent rise in DOC. In order to test this hypothesis, a palaeolimnological analysis was adopted by applying existing transfer functions produced by SWAP and EDDI to a previously compiled dataset comprising information from 97 cored lakes throughout Great Britain in order to reconstruct past levels of pH and DOC. This was to assess change through time in relation to the level of sulphur deposition at a site and overall, TOC which was used as a surrogate for DOC and pH were found to decline through time. Reliable reconstruction of TOC however, did not take place as both models consistently over and under predicted each value. Model predictive ability was also based ····· 10361133005

The techniques employed to acquire the sample were simple and stratified random sampling for firms and employees respectively. Some of the findings indicate that the firms structural characteristics which proved significant in influencing the feminization of labour in the flower industry include: technology skills diversification and the firms rate of growth. The findings also show that sharing of household tasks, engagement of household helpers, emergence of day care centres and availability children s health centres have enabled women to reconcile their productive and reproductive roles. ····· 10361132981

Priority Classification of Micro-Watersheds

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Soil erosion is one of the main factors leading to land degradation. It results in nutrient depletion and low soil moisture availability resulting in low productivity. Implementation of soil and water conservation measures, therefore, need not be overemphasized. In this context, remote Sensing and GIS techniques provide powerful tools to assess the soil loss and propose the conservation measures to control it at micro-watershed level. This book, therefore, explains an assessment of soil loss using USLE developed by Wischmeier and Smith (1978) to suggest soil conservation measures to control the soil loss in the Bhama basin, Pune district of Maharashtra (India). This book should help shed some light on the relative contribution of causative factors to the soil loss which helps to give proper guidelines for erosion control and frame appropriate conservation strategy and should be especially useful to extension workers in Agriculture fields or anyone else who is working in the field of watershed and/ or natural resource management. ····· 10361132912

Small Towns, Water Access and Climate Change

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Climate change does not feature prominently in the mainstream development and water management literature, so much so that robust strategies have not been developed to adapt to the projected impacts nor have the consequences of future adaptation costs on water affordability and access been investigated.This book examines the impact of climate change on water resource management in small towns. Specifically it suggests that climate change be integrated into existing planning frameworks in order that small towns build resilient strategies against projected climate change impacts. An approach is proposed for small towns to develop their water adaptation response that includes an assessment of existing responses to climate variability. By screening these against qualitative and quantitative criteria, robust strategies can be identified that will ensure sustainable water supplies under projected climate change impacts. By drawing on a case study of a small town in South Africa, it is demonstrated that the consequence of climate change impacts on water resources is indeed an economic issue when it comes to meeting projected water demand and providing an equitable service. ····· 10361132706

Population Pressure and Responses in Terrace Cultivation in Nepal

This monograph explains the survival strategies of mountain farmers. Rapid growth of farm based population at the prevailing low level of technological development and resource utilization system has raised the problem of population pressure on scarce land resource in the hills and mountains. It attempts to analyze the functional linkage between man and environment, and establish the relationship between geo-socio-economic conditions and constraints of physical elements for the development and maintenance of agro-based economy of the people in details. The in-depth study on lake watersheds reveals that land fragmentation has gone up to uneconomic level, cultivated land has extended/expanded to marginal slopes and altitudes, poverty situation has transferred to a situation of shared poverty, flow of out-migration has accelerated and prevailing crop-livestock system has been manipulated for adjustment. ····· 10361132705

The Political Economy of Post-Communism

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This book is about the first twenty years of post-communist transformation in the Donbas (Ukraine) and Upper Silesia (Poland), the two largest industrial regions of Eastern Europe. It exposes a dramatic increase in inequality and poverty, persistently high levels of unemployment and of criminal and self-destructive behaviour, which have all characterised Upper Silesia s transition to capitalism. This study also shows how the Donbas population has suffered from a steep decline in living conditions and a sharp deterioration of healthcare and human development standards. Based on original primary data, this book stresses the detrimental impact on regional restructuring of the inherited structural liabilities and exogenous shocks emanating from the collapse of state socialism. The study s main argument, however, is that what determines the eventual outcome of transformation is not so much the legacy of the communist (or even pre-communist) past or the extent of neoliberalisation, but the success which a society has in moulding its major institutions both inherited from state socialism and those copied from modern capitalism in a complementary, reciprocally sustaining manner. ····· 10361132538

Effective management of natural resources is essential for the attainment of the overarching object of sustainable development spelt out in the Millennium Development Goals. The world, however, is increasingly being confronted with problems of excessive resource exploitation and environmental degradation. Water resources, which are the focus of this study, are being over-exploited and contaminated, leading to supply shortages and increased incidence of water related diseases.Water purification strategies were characterized by subjectivity and imprecision which affected their efficacy and potency. Community decision-making processes lacked an inclusive character, and women were sidelined in decision-making, as community leaders who developed meeting agenda and guided the flow of deliberations were predominantly males. Generally, this research made a case for incorporation of the wealth of resource use knowledge and the range of management approaches utilized by the study communities into water resources use and management schemes in Ghana. ····· 10361132148

Land use and land management practices have a major impact on natural resources including water, soil, nutrients, plants and animals. Land use information can be used to develop solutions for natural resource management issues such as salinity and water quality. For instance, water bodies in a region that has been deforested or having erosion will have different water quality than those in areas that are forested. Bangladesh is a third world developing country with a huge population within a small area. But its favorable climate, countless rivers, fertile soil, flora & fauna, natural resources make it rich. But we can t enjoy our resources because of the high pressure of population. For proper management of existing land and for sustainable development Bangladesh must adopt some policy. For the policy and protection of land it is necessary to explore the present situation of land use pattern, its trends and nature of dependency on land. ····· 10361131883
