This has led to a large number of problems of different nature and scale. Issues of sustainable development, pollution prevention, global environmental change and related issues of population-environment interaction are a major concern of the global scientific community as well as to common citizens and policy makers. In this situation the geo-spatial tool i.e. integration of remote sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has been widely applied and recognized as a powerful and effective tools for handling such issues and challenges. These technologies provide a flexible environment for collecting, entering, analyzing, and displaying spatial data for various urban environmental issues. This book tries to focus on some of these issues which are of utmost importance e.g. urban sprawl, land use/land cover change, vegetation assessment, surface water bodies, ground water pollution, air and noise pollution, surface rainfall runoff etc. And what are the different satellite data sets and GIS methods that can be applied in handling these issues. ····· 10361101020

This often lead to a sustainable utilization of the available resources through which, appropriate high level decisions regarding food movements, pricing and imports/exports could be taken. This work therefore seeks to identify the rice growing areas and determine the productivity level for sustainable agricultural development using Geographic Information System (GIS) approach within Patigi Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria. It was observed that an appreciable level of rice yield was a function of various technological improvements. Finally, yield improvement can come in either of two ways: (a) by shifting the yield frontier, i.e., breeding varieties that have significant higher yield potential than the current varieties, e.g., New Plant Type and (b) by developing and promoting technologically enhanced yield, through the use of high quality seeds, efficient fertilizers and gravity irrigation system. ····· 10361100785

The book assesses the occurrence and the amplitude of the hazard phenomena in the Bucharest Metropolitan Area based on annual, monthly and daily extreme climatic values from all the meteorological stations of concern (1961 2007). Combining and adapting the already existing complex classifications and ierarhizations to the particularities and scale of the study-area, a regionalization of the main climatic hazards was achieved. Relying on the annual incidence and amplitude of the main thermal, pluvial and mixed phenomena as well as on the heat island`s dimensions, the main vulnerability classes were established. Finally, the extreme climatic phenomena were grouped into: climatic hazards within the cold, climatic hazards within the warm semester of the year and climatic hazards occurred all throughout the year. ····· 10361100664

The media event associated with 2007 lahar event drew considerable attention to the 1953 Tangiwai tragedy which occurred following a similar lahar event at Mt Ruapehu. The 2007 lahar media event constructed Tangiwai as a site of risk that belonged to science, technology and Pakeha tragedy, dominating understandings of Tangiwai as an important spiritual place for local iwi and their relationship with Mt Ruapehu. The lahar event also highlighted the dominant western science based hazard management paradigm and its interactions with matauranga Maori. Inherent in the dominant western science paradigm is the natural/social split born of the scientific Enlightenment and the removal of non-humans as actors. Bruno Latour (2004) calls for a move beyond the natural/social dualism and recognition for the importance of non-humans in contesting and recreating worlds this thesis considers Charles Royal`s tangata whenua paradigm as an answer to Latour`s call. ····· 10361100655

The built environment is one clear example of the impact of human activity on resources. Buildings have a significant impact on the environment. This study was carried out on October 10 to March 11. The objectives of this study ware to reduce water consumption, to reduce the loss and waste of water, to reduce cost and to improve efficiency in the use of water in green buildings. It was done by data collection and data analysis which were collected by personal interview and published documents. From the study it was revealed that by applying more efficient devices potential water, energy and cost savings can be obtained. A green building may cost more up, but saves through lower operating costs over the life of the building. The green building approach applies a project life cycle cost analysis for determining the appropriate up-front expenditure.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the extent of urbanization and its impact on the surrounding rural communities of the town. Results indicated that, significant urban expansion was occurred. The major expansion sites were Abay mado, Merawi and Mota outlet. The principal factors contributed for the expansion were: population growth, housing demand and urban development policy. Land use land cover change also occurred as result of horizontal expansion and intensification of the town. These brought land cover changes mainly on built up, forestland and water bodies in the town. The negative consequences outweigh the positives of the urban expansion. A total of 242.2 hectares of farmlands have been encroached for urban land uses from sample households in the surrounding rural communities of the town. The livestock possessions per household head have been considerably reduced in the rural communities after land expropriation. According to prediction of regression model for the next 15 years 4768.36 hectares of land will be encroached as a result of expansion of the town. ····· 1036199474

The world s population is growing thus exerting increasing pressure on natural resources.Such a scenario demands and dectates that responsible natural resource management paradigms replace old ones if we are to engender development with equity.We did not inherit the earth from our ancestors , rather we borrowed it from future generations.We should bequeath a good environment to future generations. The earth has enough resources for everyone s needs but not everyone s greed.There must be some re-thinking and harmonisation of the manner in which we utilise natural resources because the earth s resources are finite and yet essential for all life. The book examines how natural resources should be used and managed for sustainable development. Resources are a shared ownership, a collective trusteeship requiring caring beyond individualstewardship.Environmental problems demonstrate that the capacity of natural resources is inelastic and demand planned natural resource use if future generations are to live a better quality life with the same resources. ····· 1036198990

This book explores what privatization portends for the existing lopsidedness in the provision of health facilities in Nigeria, using Oyo State as spatial unit of analysis. The findings of the empirical study presented in the book are quite revealing. The study demonstates that the impact of privatization is spatially and socially regressive. The book is organized into chapters. Chapter one is aimed at putting the discussion in proper perspectives as it not only attempts to conceptualize the term `privatization`, but it equally gives brief historical insight into the emergence of privatization as an explicit policy objective of the government. Each of the rest chapters opens with introduction that lays out the ideas in the chapter. Chapter two examines theoretical and conceptual issues relating to health facilities provision. Chapters three and four present the findings of the empirical study. The theoretical and policy implications of the study are highlighted in chapter five.

When tobacco was introduced in Malakisi division of Bungoma district, cotton had been the main cash crop though the returns from the crop were not good. The farmers welcomed the new cash crop with the hope that it would be a major source of family income and that it would alleviate poverty in the area. Many farmers took up the growing of tobacco with the expectation that the income got from the crop would be sufficient to meet all their financial needs including buying food for the household.However the growing of the crop has made the farmers poorer than how they had been before the crop was introduced.The growing of the crop has made most of the farmers food insecure. ····· 1036198869
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This Book is about land use dynamics in areas undergoing population increase. The study was undertaken to clarify how an increasing population interacted with the physical environment in Eastern Province, Rwanda. This part of the country was of particular interest as it included established settlements as well as areas that were newly-settled in the aftermath of the 1994 Genocide. The study explores land use dynamics and land cover changes in areas with rapid population increase. The research showed that the areas under study have witnessed an increased population putting increased pressure on farming land in both old and newly-settled areas. Land scarcity has driven intensification of cropping and excessive grazing. Cultivated areas have expanded at the expense of uncultivated vegetation cover. In light of national farming and environmental policies under implementation, farmers expect more response to their concerns, enabling them to improve arable farming and/or cattle species. A more encouraging conclusion was that supporting mixed farming may be a promising solution to increase farm production and protect the environment. ····· 1036192346

Although in terms of its share to India s GDP it ranks third, yet it has always been India s most important economic sector in terms food security and job creation. Climate and agriculture are interrelated entities, both having global implications. Many disciplines use these climate variables as a basis to understand the processes they study. Evidently the information is limited to the available meteorological stations and therefore to discrete points of the space. To understand the weather and climatic condition over a continuous space (where weather or climate station is not present) one needs to resort to the modern techniques like spatial interpolation by Geographic Information System (GIS). This work attempts to develop statistical model to forecast temperature and precipitation in Gangetic West Bengal and its neighborhood, where a number of weather systems occur throughout the year based on different dependent and independent variables derived from Remote Sensing and other sources. The model output and the standard error raster matrixes are used to build final maps. ····· 1036192219

Housing provided on a commercial basis by the government Construction Company and Real Estate Companies eludes most low and middle income earners. The majority of citizens hence acquire the much needed housing through private land purchase and self-help incremental construction. This thesis is an iterative qualitative case study exploring the contribution of the current land tenure arrangements to the empowerment of these low income earners in form of how they acquire housing, how they invest their savings, and how they provide the much needed shelter. The study also highlights how land and housing improves the property ownership and income situation of the poor in urban areas in Uganda. The study further explores the various forms of land tenure and how their security is increased the challenges to acquiring land rights and housing and the use of property as collateral. The conclusion urges for the increase of land rights of the poor. A strong case is made for more participatory bottom-up settlement planning and more stakeholder involvement and the incorporation of poor into the mainstream. ····· 1036191990
für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book explores the development and transformation of an industrial cluster in Turkey and investigates the causes and consequences of industrial decline and local economic restructuring in the case of Denizli textile cluster. Book manifests that quota-free regulations of trade and relocation of production have been shaping a fierce global competition by which employment, supply and marketing relations change dramatically at the world scale and Turkish textile and garment industry has been losing its growth dynamics under the pressure of these competitive conditions. In this process of industrial decline, Denizli has locked to a passive exporter role. This passive exporter role disables cluster to adopt innovative product strategies and to shift production to other regions where cost cutting opportunities are provided. Industrialists decrease production costs through informal employment, decreasing wages and overtime work which exacerbate decent working conditions. However although survey results point out locked industrial dynamics, Denizli still has the potential of regional development thanks to its entrepreneurial spirit and rising other local economic sectors. ····· 1036191941

How stakeholders need to respond to climate change within the Alps has been well documented in the academic literature, with studies focussing on measures to minimise damage on winter ski tourism and from increased natural hazards. Concepts of adaptation measures were tested on stakeholders from the private and public sector within two case study areas within the Swiss Alps, both part of the communes of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Jungfrau Aletsch Bietschorn. A series of semi-structured interviews took place to assess the response of stakeholders from the private and public sectors across the local, regional and national level to the increasing risks of climate change on their economic livelihoods. Adaptation strategies were found to be evenly segmented across the different sectors and levels, but to focus almost entirely on maintaining the status quo of winter tourism, while increasing the market share of summer tourism for the destination. ····· 1036191917

Unplanned construction of houses at different locations prevents cities from having a good transportation network with a satisfactory number of roads and streets built at certain standards. As observed in settlement areas particularly in cities with squatter houses forming the majority, one of the most significant elements reflecting the negative effects of unplanned settlement is pavements. Disabled people using wheelchair are among the most affected from the problems arising in cities exposed to rapid population increase and unplanned settlement. Disabled people are rarely seen in streets in which there are pavements that are not suitable for them. One of the settlement areas in which this negative situation is experienced is undoubtedly Istanbul, the most populated city in Turkey.
