Weck, Sabine. "Local Economic Development in Area-based Urban Regeneration in Germany." Local Economy: The Journal of the Local Economy Policy Unit 24, no. 6-7 (September 2009): 523–35. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02690940903314910.
Full textAbstract:
The article is intended to give insight into the state of the art of local economic development in area-based urban regeneration in Germany. The impor-tance of local economic development has been widely recognised and a series of workshops, evaluation reports and programmes has been initiated to promote this policy area. A set of policy programmes has been developed to support integrated action in distressed urban areas. There are no radical changes in the different programme designs, but rather subsequent adaptations and amplifications through time. Policy learning has taken place in a process cutting across all levels of government. The state of the art of local economic development is illustrated using the example of the city of Gelsenkirchen in order to see how different funding programmes on the national and/or Länder (federal states) level are applied and combined on the local level, and how they help to formulate an integrated urban renewal approach. A range of policy challenges remains. The challenges on the local level include, for example, the development of strategic capacity in designing and implementing local-economic development measures.

Journal of Institute of Science and Technology 27, no. 2 (December 31, 2022): 109–24. http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jist.v27i2.49614.
Full textAbstract:
Tress species regeneration is greatly influenced by climatic, topographic, and anthropogenic activities. Present study was designed to examine the tree species diversity and their regeneration patterns along the anthropogenic disturbance gradient in the temperate forest of Chandragiri Hill, Central Nepal. Data were obtained from 90 sample plots ranging between 1560 to 2290 m asl after randomly sampling along three disturbance classes classified based on canopy coverage and degrees of disturbance activities in 2021. Circumference at breast height (1.37 m height above the ground) of each tree individual was measured and classified into tree, sapling, and seedling. A total of 47 tree species belonging to 42 genera and 26 families were obtained by this study. The highest species richness for seedlings and saplings was obtained in severely disturbed areas and tree species richness in the moderately disturbed area. The tree stands density varied between 350 to 1017 individuals ha-1 with the total basal area between 12.7 to 72.78 m2 ha-1 with the least value in a highly disturbed area and highest in the least disturbed area. The seedling and sapling densities were found increased from lower to more disturbed forests indicating that the forest fragmentation negatively affected the regeneration. The highest values of the Shannon Weiner index, Pielou Index, and the lowest value of the Simpson index were observed at moderate disturbance areas. About 36 to 60% of species were found regenerating in the less disturbed and moderately disturbed forests and no regeneration in severely disturbed areas. Elevation, canopy cover, landslide, and slopes were found to be the most influential variables in forest regeneration as significantly represented by CCA1. The present study has found a moderate level of disturbance to become beneficial for better regeneration of tree species. So, the reduction of excessive disturbance from local people would be a better option for the adequate regeneration of tree species.

Full textAbstract:
This article uses a case study to consider community event practices that include local people in discussions about the regeneration of their neighborhood and capture their responses to change. It is set in an area adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the site of London 2012 Olympic Games, and tracks the Hackney Wick Curiosity Shop (hereafter called the Curiosity Shop), an initiative that used events to engage diverse groups and develop shared experiences. The article explores the nature of these events identifying their potential and limitations. It identifies characteristics (conviviality, playfulness, creativity, and accessibility) that appear to create a powerful tool to involve local people, helping to develop a sense of community and producing locally generated place images. In this case their potential is not fully realized because the Curiosity Shop is situated within the complex context and turbulence associated with a mega-event and a major regeneration project where the market-led processes of reimaging and regenerating the area are dominant. This frenzied regeneration context is unusual, and it is argued the conviviality, playfulness, creativity, and accessibility identified here should be investigated further in a setting that is less turbulent to evaluate their effectiveness in engaging communities in debate, discussion, and collective reimagination of their localities.

Nowadays, sustainable tourism development is a necessity for all countries that appeal for tourism. The local community is considered to be an important factor in supporting tourism development. Shkodra Lake, the largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula, is a very important protected area with great potentials for tourism development. The purpose of this study is to address the need for the regeneration of this area for sustainable tourism development. The survey was used as a quantitative research method. The questionnaire to the local community of Zogaj village was used as a research tool. The research results showed the community's attitudes about touristic values of Zogaj village and the importance of their use for sustainable tourism development, about the situation and the prospect for the regeneration of Zogaj village for STD. The findings of this research will help tourism planners and decision-makers to sustainable use of local resource of this area for the successful tourism development today and future.

Full textAbstract:
Biodiversity erosion particularly in developing countries is a matter of great concern to the global ecological community. Species composition and regeneration indicate the health of forest. This study explored tree species composition and regeneration of natural hill forest of Shitalpur under Chittagong North Forest Division through 27 sample plots of 20 m × 20 m for trees and 2 m × 2 m for regeneration. A total of 47 tree species belonging to 29 families and 17 regenerating species belonging to 15 families were recorded. The tree stem density, basal area, and wood volume were 0.49 m2/ha, 1425 stem/ha, and 189.9 m3/ha, respectively. Mean regeneration was significantly higher in bottom hill (14374 seedlings/ha) compared to top hill (9671 seedlings/ha). Toona ciliata was highest (4444 seedlings/ha) at the bottom hill compared to other hill positions. The result shows that only 36% of the tree species (17 out of 47) are regenerating in the study area, meaning majority of the tree species (64%) are not getting favorable conditions to regenerate. This might be due to absence of mature tree species as a result of overexploitation by local people. The findings may help in monitoring the species composition changes over time and adopting specific conservation programs for Shitalpur Forest.

Full textAbstract:
We compared utilization by the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus Erxleben) of recent clearcuts subjected to three regeneration scenarios commonly used in boreal forest: natural regeneration, plantation with herbicide release (glyphosate), and plantation with manual release (brushsaw). Refuges for snowshoe hare, on a landscape dominated by clearcuts, were also investigated. Colonization of regenerating sites by the hare comes late in the humid boreal forest because clear-cut stands take more than 10 years to reach the sapling stage. Our sites were in the seedling stage 79 years after cutting, and hares avoided them year round because of an inadequate protective cover. Therefore, regeneration treatments did not affect habitat use by the hare on a short-term basis. During the seedling stage, the snowshoe hare were found in the remaining forest which occupied at least 25% of the area of each home range. The preservation of residual forests is thus essential to maintain local populations on an area dominated by commercial clearcuts.

Full textAbstract:
We monitored an area that was revegetated with the goal of restoring a Eucalyptus tereticornis open forest on former agricultural land in central, eastern Queensland. Revegetation involved: (1) planting 60 ha of previously cleared and heavily grazed land with eight local trees species; and (2) removing cattle grazing to encourage natural regeneration in areas where some mature trees remained. We compared the revegetation site to native pasture that had also been previously cleared, with only scattered paddock trees remaining, and continued to be managed for livestock production (an area similar to the revegetation site, prior to planting) and a remnant forest (reference area). Nine years since revegetation began there was some evidence that the revegetated site was diverging from pasture in terms of understorey plant composition, sapling density and topsoil C and N. There was little divergence in terms of plant species richness (native, introduced, grass, forb and woody plant richness), herbaceous biomass and woody plant regeneration. Some monitoring plots were subject to fire (prescribed fire and or wildfire) over the period of monitoring. With increasing time since fire, the richness of native species, introduced species and grass species (both native and introduced) declined, and forb and grass species richness declined with increasing litter biomass, suggesting that the occurrence of fire and the associated removal of litter biomass has a positive influence on herbaceous diversity in this ecosystem. Woody plant regeneration persisted through lignotubers at the revegetation site and at the pasture, but this regeneration was stunted at the pasture presumably due to livestock grazing. Hence areas of former E. tereticornis forest showed promising regenerative capacity where mature trees remained and where livestock grazing was removed.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the transformation of the brownfield sites and the places occupied by old industrial activities in Romania, focusing on a medium-sized town since small- and medium-sized towns are mainly overlooked in the current scientific debates. These towns frequently followed similar development patterns to large cities, but at different paces in local urban regeneration. We conducted a case study on the Romanian town Lugoj, focusing on one of the most important industrial areas which encountered a significant decline during the post-socialist period where ruins remain as proof of the post-socialist urban regeneration efforts. Recent years (2020–2022) unveiled a great interest in the regeneration of this area with positive spatial outcomes, experiencing a massive development of tertiary activities and thus turning this former industrial area into a service-led one, with some industrial units that were completely regenerated while others remain in ruins. The research was conducted from 2020 to 2022 and used qualitative methods and spatial analysis through GIS methods. The results emphasize the recent changes in the former industrial areas, where service activities replaced the previous old industries. Furthermore, the main findings highlight that the investigated area provides multiple opportunities for further development, thus contributing to the regeneration of the area through the development of a wide variety of tertiary activities. Since small- and medium-sized municipalities remain overlooked in the recent research, this study could represent a significant example for further strategies of the urban development of small towns that have been strongly altered by the local inherited industrial brownfields.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Kaszuby Lake District is located beyond the natural range of Norway spruce, however its share in local forest stands is considerable (14.8%) and its vitality and growth are here not less than within the natural range. The study presents the results of stock-taking of natural regeneration of Norway spruce in this region in year 2002 and 2012 and the relevant silvicultural recommendations. The stock of spruce natural regeneration was taken using the electronic database of the Regional Headquarters of State Forests in Gdańsk. The regeneration was put into following categories: seedlings (height below 0.5 m), lower advanced growth (height above 0.5 m and DBH below 7 cm), higher advanced growth (height above 3 m and DBH above 7 cm) and undergrowth (with dominating self sown spruce). In total 20 834 ha of Norway spruce natural regenerations were listed in year 2002 and 26 016 ha in year 2012 (increase by 24.9%). Most of them occur in fresh sites suited for mixed deciduous forests (LMśw) - in years 2002 and 2012 respectively 52.5% and 50.1%, and fresh sites suited for mixed coniferous forests (BMśw) - in years 2002 and 2012 respectively 30.4% and 32%. The increase of natural regeneration of Norway spruce in this period was connected with the 23.6% decrease in volume of spruce stands in age of above 40 years. Majority of spontaneously arriving spruce regenerations turn to the undergrowth, because of unfavorable light conditions under canopy and much to high density of seedlings and advanced growth. Good quality advanced growth on suited forest sites should be uncovered by thinning cuttings and consequently included into the future multispecies stands, with Norway spruce share up to 30%.

Full textAbstract:
Urban regeneration acquired a powerful role in the shaping of the future role of the cities in the Globalization era. It could be considered a public action in a market governed by different powers introducing a more strategic approach in the contemporary urban planning theory and practice. The main features of urban regeneration regard: area-based approach, strong awareness of what are local needs/urban problems, strategic approach and effects/impacts of initiatives. Since integration can be considered one of the main objective to get through urban regeneration, and the complexity as well as the peculiarity of urban dynamics are very much related to the context they belong to, we might see the community involvement as crucial toward sustainable urban regeneration initiatives. The shift of urban regeneration processes toward an increase of the community importance generates different urban management tools based on the typology of partnership set up. The intent of generating wider effects in terms of economic development at macro-level (regional thereby) trough urban regeneration initiatives has been eluded by the strong local interests even if not homogenous among each others. In order to reach a feasible consensus among all actors involved, the common objective became the job creation to which converge all different urban problems and solutions. Consequently, the sustainability of urban regeneration initiatives is still at the centre of politicians and academic debate. Economic sustainability, environmental sustainability and social sustainability provide criteria for such indicators to measure the urban regeneration performance. The paper reports some interesting findings of the second year of the CLUDs research project, funded by IRSES Marie Curie Actions, illustrating how territorial milieu can reinforce local urban regeneration initiatives by combining the latest urban rural link research with the detailed analysis of 9 urban areas located in San Diego, CA (USA), in which urban regeneration initiatives have been implemented. The CLUDs project has introduced the concept of milieu to offer a different source of sustainability within urban regeneration initiatives that is the connections with the surrounding rural areas to reinforce local economy.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, we examined resources at the local level, conducted status research, and explored alternatives based on big data analytics to regenerate a village in a small area in an information communications technology-based urban regeneration project. In particular, we used big data analytics to analyze the current conditions of the local area and provided a case demonstrating how connecting with a local university for expertise could solve current local problems. The main results can be summarized in three dimensions. First, there is job creation in villages using woodworking. At the center of it, it is possible to link with youth entrepreneurship by using the clubs of the local university (Seangnori Research Institute). Quantitatively, it is possible to design offices and offline stores for the sale of developed products, and qualitatively, it can lead to company growth by increasing the business volume of pre-land transportation-type social enterprises and expansion of regional governance through regional exchanges. Second, in terms of providing new information and education, it is possible to provide the Chungnam Appropriate Technology Federation, a non-profit organization in the region, for smooth education and practice. In particular, it is possible to promote the growth of the council through continuous product development. It is possible to strengthen the cooperative system. Third, the effect of the influx of population within the region can be obtained. As publicity and awareness of the visionary workshop project have been expanded, the youth independent talent nurturing process is systematized, and from this, students graduating from local universities can lead to youth jobs in the local area without looking for jobs in other areas, forming a virtuous cycle system. To this end, we divided real estate big data into the categories of system, technology and data, law and policy, structured data of real estate information and unstructured data of social media, web log data, smart device, and real estate policy, development, appraisal, and local analysis to apply to the case area and suggest implications.

ABSTRACT:South Cardiff was once dependent on the export of coal and the production of steel, but these activities had faded by the 1970s, creating economic stagnation and physical dereliction. However, the area was rechristened ‘Cardiff Bay’ in the mid-1980s and was the focus of an ambitious and contested state-funded regeneration. This article argues that regeneration was broadly successful, although not without failures, and that government remained willing to intervene heavily in some small areas. The main contribution is to identify and analyse how local authorities retained influence over regeneration, in contrast to approaches taken elsewhere by central government.

Local cold injury is not uncommon in areas with unfavourable climatic conditions. The significance of this problem is associated with a large number of such injuries, complexity of their treatment, long period of disability and high level of disablement among the population. Aggravating factors of cold injuries include metabolic abnormalities that can lead to the development of cardiovascular diseases, and, consequently, to microcirculation disorders. The aim of this paper was to trace the dynamics of the cellular structures of the dermis in the process of recovery from local cold injury in rats with metabolic syndrome, compared with the recovery process in healthy rats. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on outbred rats. The development of obesity and metabolic disorders was modelled by including a 30 % sucrose solution in the diet instead of water, as well as saturated fats. Local cold injury was modelled by applying a metal weight 2.5 cm in diameter cooled in liquid nitrogen to the depilated skin of the animals’ backs. Cell dynamics was studied in the papillary and reticular dermis as well as in the reticular dermis on the border with the hypoderm of the damaged area and on its periphery using a morphometric grid. Results. The data obtained suggest that regenerative changes after local cold injury in rats are associated with accumulation of cells on the border of the reticular dermis and the hypoderm of the damaged area. In addition, we observed a later onset of the peak of the migration process and a larger number of cells involved in migration at metabolic syndrome than during regeneration of the wound surface in the absence of metabolic disorder. It is quite likely that all the dermal zones under study, especially the dermis on the border with the hypoderm, are involved in the regeneration process of the affected area, whereas on the periphery of the damaged area, it is mainly the dermal zone located on the border of the reticular dermis and the hypoderm that is involved.

ABSTRACT This study was conducted in a forest under restoration process, which belongs to the company Holcim Brasil S/A, in the municipality of Barroso, state of Minas Gerais (21º00'to 22º00'S and 43º00' to 44º00'W), where 40 plots (2 x 2 m) were set, spaced at 10 m, forming eight strata parallel to the watercourse present in the area. Floristic composition and natural regeneration stratum were characterized, and the formed strata allowed evaluating whether the riparian vegetation and watercourse influence on the local regeneration. It was found 162 individuals of 13 families, 18 genera and 22 species, and 10,125 individuals/ha were estimated. Successional classes from pioneer and early secondary and zoochory dispersion syndrome prevailed among species and individuals. The watercourse and riparian vegetation did not exercise significant influence (p> 0.05) on the number of species and regenerating individuals among the different strata of the forest. The diversity index of Shannon-Wiener (H') and equability of Pielou (J') were 2.691 and 0.870, respectively. The species Psidium guajava and Myrtaceae families presented the highest VI (value of importance). Natural regeneration analysis showed the low floristic diversity in the area, suggesting that corrective management actions should be adopted.

Full textAbstract:
Identifying emerging invasive species is a priority to implement early preventive and control actions. In terms of the number of invasive tree species, forestry represents the second largest pathway of introduction, with an invasive debt likely existing for alien conifers in Europe. In the early 1900s, a network of arboreta was established in southern Belgium to assess the wood production potential of prospective conifer and broadleaved species. Here, we use eight arboreta as natural experiments to identify alien conifers presenting invasive behavior. Through systematic sampling, we quantified the natural regeneration of alien conifers and recorded local environmental variables. For each species, regeneration density, dispersal distances, and age structure were analyzed. Generalized mixed effects models were fitted to test the effect of planted area and tree-stand type on regeneration. The environmental space occupied by regenerating alien conifers was evaluated using principal component analysis. Out of 31 planted alien species, 15 (48%) were identified in natural regeneration, of which eight (26%) exhibited important regeneration density and dispersal distances. The most invasive species were Tsuga heterophylla and Abies grandis, confirming earlier field observations. Both large planted areas and areas planted with alien conifer species increased the density of regeneration. Species that had the highest regeneration density tolerated a wide range of environmental conditions, including shaded understory, which could lead to the invasion of mature, undisturbed forests. This study showed that 17% of the studied alien conifers are potentially invasive because they show important regeneration, long-distance dispersal, and, of importance, have already produced offspring that have matured and are capable of creating new satellite populations. In conclusion, our results provide a guideline for future planting operations, recommending extreme caution when planting these species in the temperate forests of Western Europe.

Abstract: In the recent period of fast economic development, population growth and demands, and changing lifestyles, most outdated regions in metropolitan centers have faced many difficulties in making the required adjustments and adaptations to current needs and changes. This paper looks at the role of community participation in urban regeneration projects and reviving run-down areas and how it can be used to help localities in economic as well as social renewal without changing the identity of the area. The urban regeneration of a Railway Staff Neighbourhood (N.F., B. Colony) in the district of Kamrup Metropolitan, Assam, North-Eastern India, is the subject of this research. The paper also aims at an urban reuse idea to develop a regenerative approach as a countermeasure to urban degradation, with a strategy that involves community engagement in the project. The research was based on numerous site visits and interviewing various stakeholder groups, particularly the local community, at all levels. The study examines a new experience in the neighbourhood in establishing an alternative use of the abandoned quarters based on addressing the community and the problems faced by them.

This research aims to explore the role of community mobilisation in Surakarta’s culture-led urban regeneration process by analysing the case of the Pasar Gede area. This research argues that the generation and use of cultural resources in urban regeneration lie in community mobilisation and institutional support, rather than in a state-led cultural flagship approach. In this way, local government needs to move beyond the instrumentalism of urban cultural strategies and to rediscover the spaces where local cultural activities and mobilization capacities are attached. Only through understanding the relationship between place and community mobilization will a benefit for the revitalization of a unique and historical urban area be gene

Full textAbstract:
A study was carried out in Imo River Estuary, Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria to evaluate the perception of the local people on the environmental and socio-economic effects of timber harvesting and management. Five local government areas were purposively selected based on their proximity to the Imo River Estuary. Despite the high effect rates of timber exploitation, most of the locals of the study area have little or no knowledge of the severity of these effects on their environmental and socio-economic well-being; thereby, limiting the required rate and application of necessary mitigation measures as revealed by the Cmax of 0.89 affirming of the relationship of the perception of the locals to the implications of timber exploitation in the study area. Based on the findings, the constraints hindering effective timber utilization and management in the study area are lack of public awareness and poor value system supported, respectively, by 180 and 165 of the respondents out of 300. Hence, the study suggests that the local people of the study area should be educated about sustainable utilization and management of forest resources. Moreover, state government and logging companies should embark on reforestation, afforestation and regeneration programmes in order to replace extracted tree species and regenerate extinct species.

This article will analyze the ongoing culture-led regeneration processes of abandoned, informal and vacant areas, often considered by residents, local associations, and public officials to be urban voids. Our territorial framework is in Marvila, a semi-peripheral riverside area in Lisbon, strongly affected by informal activities, high levels of youth unemployment, an elderly population, and the existence of urban spaces with non-planned uses, seen as undesirable by the local ecosystem of stakeholders and particularly by residents. Our analysis will be centered around a social and spatial understanding of Lisbon’s municipal urban policy (funded by the 3.5.6. program of the European Union on Cultural Heritage), which has supported the reoccupation of some these so-called urban voids. We will focus on the use of a Pilot Project methodology, its exploratory and prototype nature, the local bureaucratic planning system, and the soft Planning techniques implemented as new ways of addressing long-term decayed and informal urban spaces. We will examine the regeneration results of two EU-H2020 funded pilot projects, under the ROCK project, which supports this research. The first pilot project “Loja Com Vida” (“store with life” or “store invites”), supports the municipal objective of creating a new urban centrality in Marvila, encouraging a diversification of its users, operationalizing the reuse of municipal ground floor spaces. The second project, “Jardim para Todos” (‘Garden for all’), corroborates a municipal urban policy on environmental sustainability goals, promoting, with the help of local agents, a learning and sharing process centered around green knowledge and the creation of a future agriculture hub and leisure area. The acknowledgment of these pilot project results will constitute an interesting case study for other urban areas with similar conditions, incorporating a better understanding of participative urban regeneration processes, outside the traditional and formal planning perspectives and achievements.

Introduction: Every year, a large number of patients from developed countries turn to surgical departments with the reconstruction problems of the auricle cartilage. A some of surgical procedures was developed to correct minor defects due to the low regenerative capacity of elastic cartilage. Stem cells can potentially differentiate into chondroblasts and chondrocytes and restore cartilage integrity. Many factors influence on the differentiation and proliferation of stem cells, which complicates the method application. Therefore, the investigation of using stem cells to regeneration elastic cartilage is relevant. Aim: clarification the regeneration features of the artificial defect of the rabbits’ ear elastic cartilage after the stem cells injection. Materials and methods: The investigation was conducted on rabbits of chinchilla breed aged 1.5 months, weighing 2.5 kg. Artificial lesions measuring 2 x 7-10 mm were simulated on the cartilaginous plate of the outer ear with a scalpel. 0.5 ml of stem cell suspension (~5 million) obtained from the umbilical cord of rabbits by enzymatic method was injected into the defect site. Histological sections of the cartilage defect were prepared. The samples were stained by Weigert and Azure II methods. The relative density of collagen, elastin fibers, oxyphilic and basophilic tissue elements was programmatically evaluated. Results and discussion: The amount of fibers in the native elastic cartilage was more on 35% of the relative dermis. The newly formed tissues at the damage cartilage was like to the dermis after 2 months. Similar results were found on ear in 2.5 and 3 months after surgery. Native cartilage on histological sections almost was not oxyphilic. Maybe a significant number of acidic components was masked it. Dense connective tissue contains almost equal amounts of both components. Thus, it is possible to trace changes in the intercellular matrix that will characterize the direction of the regeneration process. The area of elastic cartilage defect was characterized by a significant presence of oxyphilic elements after 2 months of the stem cells addition. The ratio of oxyphilic and basophilic components in the native elastic cartilage was about to zero. For the dermis was 1.4-1.5. Dense scar connective tissue was characterized by a ratio about 1. Based on the results obtained, was assumed that the direction of stem cell proliferation is determined shortly after injection. Conclusion: The addition of stem cells to the area of the artificially created elastic cartilage defect of the rabbit's ear was not allow to obtain stable regenerative processes of cartilage tissue and the restoration of the intercellular matrix to its original state. The process of stem cell differentiation contributes the formation of dense connective tissue of the scar, which may be due to the presence of proinflammatory cytokines, growth factors and other biologically active molecules. This was not creating the necessary conditions for the cartilage regeneration.

Full textAbstract:
Urban and social regeneration occurs through the recovery of disused built-up areas, requalifying them with respect to environmental sustainability and the recovery of the relational relationship between social actors. In the last few years, the practices of sociourban regeneration have made great strides, establishing themselves as an opportunity to promote policies of social participation, stimulating employment, and local entrepreneurship. Sociourban regeneration can thus be defined as a set of actions that focuses on the recovery of sociality and the requalification of an urban space. The regeneration process takes place by means of rehabilitation interventions at the level of infrastructures and services, thereby limiting the consumption of land in order to protect environmental sustainability. Regeneration also allows the community to re-appropriate and re-live the regenerated spaces with clear improvements in the quality of life and in the social, economic, and environmental spheres. This paper focuses on exploring the relationship between urban and social regeneration and economic growth in Abruzzo (Italy) by using a set of indicators that measures equitable and sutainable welldoing (Bes). A descriptive analytical method was adopted to evaluate the level of urban quality in order to identify the most appropriate interventions leading to sustainable local development. The main finding indicates that Abruzzo shows interesting potential, but it has yet a long way to go in the area of urban and social regeneration.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainability and population have a complex relationship. Popular versions of the first are usually based on the premise of reducing the population. However, in some remote rural areas with a low density, this condition needs to be reconsidered, as it would put the viability of the local community at risk and lead to environmental, economic and, above all, social losses. Although repopulation is impossible, since remote rural areas have an ageing demographic structure and an extremely low fertility rate, we can propose the regeneration of their human, social and relational capital by attracting talent and commitment. To achieve this, the Desafío Programme (Rural Erasmus) enables university students to do internships in companies and institutions in sparsely populated areas, living alongside their residents. Despite being an experimental policy with a narrow scope in statistical terms, the Desafío Programme is an inspiring experience supported by those who have participated in it and contributes to the social and economic regeneration of areas in decline. This is a practical case of applying a sustainable strategy to a rural area in crisis, which can be transferred to many other countries facing a similar problem.

Full textAbstract:
A mixed integer goal programming model is developed to address the regeneration planning problems of even-aged forests in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. The unique aspect of the goal programming formulation is to minimize deviations in scheduled wood product volumes and the size of harvest areas within each time period, as these are important goals for the management area. About 98% of the forests in Turkey are considered even-aged, and 2% are uneven-aged. Therefore, an age class method is used for the planning of even-aged forests. For the areas where this method is applied, reaching the optimal age class structure is the first priority. This involves implementing final harvests (clearcuts) to regenerate an amount of forest area into each age class. To meet the local market’s needs, forest enterprises also require the final yield to be fairly equal each year. Further, it is desired that the harvest area (regeneration area) is relatively equal each year, to address operational considerations. A linear goal programming model is developed to address the problem. The minimization of deviations from both the harvest area and harvest volume targets are incorporated as goals in the objective function of the model. Several scenarios are solved using the extended version of Lingo 16. A scenario with weights of 0.8 for area and 0.2 for volume produces the best results. Here, the total deviation for 20 years is 3.8 ha in area and 2889 m3 in volume. In the actual regeneration plan, the area deviation for 10 years is 54.72 ha (6.2% of total regeneration area), and the volume deviation is 20,472 m3 (9.8% of harvest volume). The model described through this study can be developed further and integrated into forest management planning software and processes used for the planning of even-aged forests in the Mediterranean region.

Full textAbstract:
The Hanford Site in Washington State is the most contaminated area in the United States and is one of the biggest decontamination efforts in the world. During the Cold War, the area was shrouded by secrecy, including denials of any dangers to the environment, workers, and local communities downwind of the site. Efforts to regenerate neighboring areas are ongoing, including establishing the area as a national park and national monument, investing in local communities, plans to re-establish a town, encouraging viticulture and other agricultural activities, and encouraging the return of spawning salmon to the Columbia River. Rising costs and delays have hampered efforts in the clean-up process. Through an online survey, this study examines the local people’s attitudes toward these various efforts at urban and agricultural regeneration, their attitude toward information from the authorities, and budgeting for decontamination. It was found that there is widespread support for the establishment of park status for the site and that organic certification of produce has had a positive impact on purchasing intentions. However, there remains a degree of skepticism about the information about the decontamination process, and support for budgeting plans falls largely along partisan lines.

Full textAbstract:
Pastoralists frequently claim that attempts at range regeneration in arid and semi-arid areas are thwarted by kangaroos. This paper examines the possibility that the impact of kangaroo grazing is exacerbated by an influx of kangaroos onto regeneration sites. The amount of kangaroo dung in a 7500 ha paddock in arid Western Australia increased six-fold over a 15-month period following the removal of sheep. A similar influx was apparent in another destocked paddock that provided unusually high offtake of kangaroos by a commercial shooter. The amount of kangaroo dung remained relatively stable in a control paddock that was stocked. Some areas subject to cultivation and reseeding with native shrubs also showed increased amounts of kangaroo dung, indicating relatively intense kangaroo grazing. Radio-tracking of 46 kangaroos showed them to be mostly sedentary, suggesting that 'invading' kangaroos emerge from the local area. This conclusion is contrary to the widespread view that kangaroos migrate from distant locations. Thus, kangaroo control programs on sensitive areas are likely to be long-lasting because incursions are predominantly from local populations.

The historical area of an urban city has a long developing history and contains extensive and valuable cultural assets and associations. In response to the urban function and industrial structure change, the majority of the old and historic community development is stalled with decreasing population and increasing number of vacant and abandoned houses and lands, which seriously affecting the living environment of the remaining resident and destroys the spatial elements that are used to shape the historical streets. In recent years, the public sector and society organizations have put funds into the relevant environmental regeneration operation with more improvement mechanisms, and focus on how to promote participation and cooperation from private and local resources. However, the rational of public sectors and experts are often contained with short-term plans and emphasis on promoting regional tourism or cultural creativity, while ignoring the importance of participating opportunity of local residents and existing community resources. Most renovation of old buildings in the community are still based on the owners self-business and considerations or operation strategies, and the benefit to the surrounding public environment is limited. This research used a local house in the old community as working studios in order to observe and analyze the actual spatial resources of old communities identified by local workshop can be reactivated by regional development, and through continuous interaction with community organizations to attract stores and community residents to start caring about their surroundings and related public affairs to progressively develop a “learning exchange" between different professional groups in the community on public environment-related issues. Through such research, it helped to activate participation of local people, and to collect and compile comments on regeneration development of historical areas from the local community.

Full textAbstract:
Forest fires are severe disasters that cause significant damage in the Republic of Korea and the entire world, and an effort is being made to prevent forest fires internationally. The Republic of Korea budgets 3.38 million USD every year to prevent forest fires. However, an average of 430 wildfires occur nationwide annually. Thirty-eight percent of the forest fire budget is used for forest restoration. Restoring afforestation in the affected areas is a top priority. This study aimed to estimate the degree of vegetative regeneration using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Soil-Adjustment Vegetation Index (SAVI), and Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR). Although many studies have used NBR with NDVI to extract plant regeneration regions, they suffer from atmospheric effects and soil brightness. Thus, this study utilizes NBR with NDVI, EVI, and SAVI to accurately select areas for targeted forest restoration. Furthermore, this study applies clustering analysis to extract the spatial boundary of vegetative regenerative regions. The proposed method suggests a pixel range of vegetation indices. These ranges can be used as an indicator, such as the NBR’s Fire Severity Level, which reflects the mountain’s local characteristics, meaning that it can be useful after forest fires. Using the three vegetation indices can extract more accurate vegetation areas than using NBR with NDVI and can help determine a forest restoration target area.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years urban policy has come to rely increasingly on private-sector property development to provide the driving force. Popular opinion is sharply divided about the value of this approach. In this paper, an examination is made of five ways in which property could contribute to urban economic regeneration: through the direct employment effects of construction-related activity; by accommodating the expansion of indigenous firms; by attracting inward investment; by revitalising run-down neighbourhoods; and by initiating area-wide economic restructuring. Appropriate property development can have positive economic effects but it has to be part of a more holistic approach that embodies concerns for people living in deprived areas and for the underlying condition of the local economy. Unrestrained market-led development may have detrimental consequences for the economic fabric of cities and for the quality of life of their residents.

Full textAbstract:
Research on social regeneration is a very specific area that needs more attention in the tourism and social sciences literature. Whilst much research has focused attention on tourism developments and regeneration efforts, this work is more concerning with the physical transformation of spaces (such as upgrading facilities and infrastructures) or expanding investments in tourism and visitor attractions. Planners and policy makers are concerned with maintaining a competitive advantage, resulting in policies and investments aimed at developing spaces in transition for the purpose of economic gain and/or image revival. To go beyond the focus on economic impacts of tourism-led regeneration, the purpose of this special issue is to address the importance of, and the need to, critically assess issues, problems and solutions surrounding social regeneration resulting from tourism change, developments or initiatives. More research considering how members of a community and event attendees engage with spaces and places transformed for tourism is needed. Paying closer attention to intangible impacts to extend recent debates surrounding tourism initiatives, involvement and futures is needed, emphasizing improved welfare and empowering local communities and its residents. The papers included in this special issue all put emphasis on the community and/or local residents and how they are impacted by tourism investments or initiatives.

Full textAbstract:
In the Brazilian Amazon, forest fragments increase annually leading many species to local extinction. Euxylophora paraensis Huber is an endemic species whose natural habitat is restricted to the north of Brazil. The natural regeneration was evaluated using 10 circular plots of land each with a radius of 20 meters. The density of regenerating individuals at the edge and the interior of the fragment and the behavior in relation to the parent tree. The Periodic Annual Increment of the diameter and the height were calculated individually for each plant that remained alive during all four measurements and GLM (General Linear Model) was applied to verify if there were differences between environments and the size of the individuals. The results show that the density of natural regeneration increases as the distance from the parent tree increases and has a significant negative correlation with canopy area, the smaller the canopy area the higher the density of individuals. Larger diametric growth was observed in saplings and small trees at the edge and larger increments of height in small trees were observed both at the edge and interior of the fragments. Therefore, natural regeneration is influenced by the process of forest fragmentation where the germination of seeds and establishment of saplings is favorable, however, there were no adult trees at the edge.

Afforestation of forest fire area, natural regeneration and routine afforestation areas which were basic silvicultural practices were investigated based on Kutahya Forest District by three sampled areas which was each 1000 m2 of each practices by height, diameter, age and number of seedlings/reproductions to contribute forestry practices, in this study. Results of study showed that number of individuals (266) and average height (295.5 cm) were the highest in natural regeneration areas, while diameter at base was the highest (8.5 cm) in routine afforestation areas. Ages of forest fire area and routine afforestation areas were similar (8.8 and 8.9 years), while it was higher (10.5 years) in natural regeneration area. There were large differences among sampled areas within method for the characteristics. The variation could be because of mother tree or also called seed tree which were used in the practices. Significant differences (p<0.01) were found among forest fire, natural regeneration, and routine afforestation areas, and within practice among sampled areas by results of analysis of variance. The results emphasized importance of local forestry practices and regeneration methods. However, there could be many environmental and biological factors in the variation such as species, method, edaphic and age. Duncan’s multiple range’s test showed that height had the highest heterogeneous than other characteristics. It showed importance of height as a selection criterion for forestry practices to obtain higher quality and quantity forest products. Positive and significant (p<0.01) relations among the characteristics were estimated by results of phenotypic correlation analysis. The results could be used for early tending practices such as early and cultural stages. Some suggestions were given such as tending, method of silvicultural practices and for other practices based on results of the study. However, the present study had limited areas. New studies should be carried out in different regions and species, and also characteristics to give accurate conclusions for the forestry practices.

Full textAbstract:
The delivery of the government's Sustainable Communities: Building for the Future proposals in the Thames Gateway area will be spearheaded by two new Urban Development Corporations (UDCs). During the 1980s and 1990s, UDCs were at the forefront of property-led regeneration in Britain and their impacts were extremely controversial. For some they represented a necessary institutional form that successfully facilitated and delivered regeneration to areas with chronic social and economic problems. For others they embodied a broader Thatcherite programme that marginalised local authorities and local communities from the heart of development planning. This paper examines their reintroduction and compares and contrasts the new agencies with those that existed in earlier decades. It argues that although the new UDCs will have broadly similar powers, the political contexts in which they are being established differ markedly. They are now expected to embed themselves into regional and national strategic development agendas and work in development partnerships with local authorities and local communities. The paper outlines the possible political and practical impacts that they will have and what their emergence tells us about the nature of Labour's broader modernisation agendas for local governance.

This study focuses on the future changes to the urban form around the Salaya railway station, which will be developed as a terminal station of the Bangkok metro service. The purpose is to investigate stakeholder attitudes to the transit-oriented development (TOD) approach to the station premises. The attitudes of local businesses and key stakeholders to joint programs on infrastructure development and the surrounding area are identified as local businesses encouraging the collaborative urban regeneration program. The approach uses scenarios as a tool for participatory planning to help identify future applications, including a workshop in two parts. The first part was conducted using group interviews with local entrepreneurs to raise the idea of the collaborative urban regeneration program. The second part was an evaluation of the program by the three key stakeholder groups: municipality, railway operators, and real estate investors. The scenarios evaluated by the key stakeholders indicate the different attitudes to the collaborative urban regeneration program depending on the role of each stakeholder. The collaborative program developed by local entrepreneurs can be classified by economic and physical factors. The findings suggest a common aspect for future collaboration in marketing strategies, such as advertising representing localness, as both local entrepreneurs and key stakeholders mostly agreed on the program. Disagreement on collaborative urban regeneration depends more on the specific role of the company or organization.

1. CONTENTS (1) RESEARCH OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of urban regeneration project and to examine how local residents perceive the urban regeneration project. In addition, this study tried to find out how the perception of impact of urban regeneration projects affects local identity and resident satisfaction, and how local identity affects resident satisfaction.
(2) RESEARCH METHOD As a research method, to verify the structural equation model, which has the advantage that measurement errors can be controlled and statistical evaluation of the theoretical model is possible, first, the error of the measurement model is corrected through confirmation factor analysis, and then path analysis was performed. . In addition, reliability and validity were reviewed based on the results of the confirmation factor analysis. For data analysis in this study, social science statistical package program SPSS 21.0 was used, and AMOS 21.0 was used for the structural equation model.
(3) RESEARCH DIFFERENCES Although factors and influence relationships such as awareness, understanding, and satisfaction of local residents must be taken into account for a successful urban regeneration project, an analysis of the influence relationship between the residents in the adjacent urban regeneration project area has not been conducted. Therefore, in this study, This study analyzed how the perception of the impact of the recently active urban regeneration project on local residents affects the local identity and resident satisfaction of the local residents.
2. RESULTS The results of the study through empirical analysis are summarized as follows. First, it was confirmed that the residents' perception of impact (environmental, social, economic) of the urban regeneration project had a statistically positive (+) effect on local identity. These results are in line with the results of previous studies by Paasi (2003) and Cho Jang-hyeon (2017). Second, it was confirmed that regional identity had a statistically positive (+) effect on resident satisfaction. These research results are also in line with the research results of Raagmaa (2002), Kim Seon-ah, Lee Eui-jin, and Hong Kyung-gu (2018). Third, it was confirmed that the resident perception of the urban regeneration project had a statistically positive (+) effect on resident satisfaction. These results are in line with the results of previous studies by Fitzgerald & Durant (1980), Joo Ik-hyeon, Koo Bon-mi, and Chae Cheol-gyun (2020).

The postfire regeneration dynamics of black spruce and jack pine were documented by a study of three successive cohorts (woody debris, snags, seedlings) within a large area burnt in 1989. The objectives of this study were (i) to describe how fire interval can influence the abundance of regenerating black spruce and jack pine and (ii) to model the future abundance trends of these two species for fire cycles of different lengths. The transition probabilities after fire were calculated for mixed stands of black spruce and jack pine for fire intervals of 47 and 67 years in well-drained sites and for fire intervals varying between 92 and 270 years in poorly drained sites. These probabilities were incorporated into a model of regeneration dynamics that took into account the drainage type, the regeneration potential, and the natural mortality rate of both species. After the 1989 fire, jack pine seedlings made up 55%82% of the regeneration in well-drained sites and 11%40% in poorly drained sites. Model simulations show that fire intervals <60 years lead to the local extinction of black spruce, and those >220 years lead to that of jack pine. The simulation results also suggest that jack pine could expand its populations under a fire cycle of 50 years or after short fire intervals during longer fire cycles. Thus, in the short term and medium term (i.e., ca. <100 years), the length of the interval between two consecutive fires is a better predictor of the abundance, extinction, or local expansion of black spruce and jack pine than the fire cycle.

The article focuses on how the green agenda can be progressed through practical steps at the local government level. The author draws on his time as a councillor in the London Borough of Enfield, where he combined his interests in regeneration and sustainability. He argues that environmental sustainability should be viewed as a prime policy consideration in all levels of government; and that a green business logic should be applied when assessing the viability of initiatives in this area. Local government is in a relatively good position for green business investment. However, the sums of money required mean that external counterparts and commercial interests are also needed. The article describes initiatives to support the local private green-tech sector, and the founding of a low-carbon heat-from-waste company, energetik, whose next stage involves building an energy centre adjacent to the North London Waste Authority's waste facility.

Full textAbstract:
Although the accelerative effect of 17β-estradiol (E2) on endothelial regrowth has been clearly demonstrated, the local cellular events accounting for this beneficial vascular action are still uncertain. In the present work, we compared the kinetics of endothelial healing of mouse carotid arteries after endovascular and perivascular injury. Both basal reendothelialization as well as the accelerative effect of E2 were similar in the two models. Three days after endothelial denudation, a regenerative area was observed in both models, characterized by similar changes in gene expression after injury, visualized by en face confocal microscopy (EFCM). A precise definition of the injury limits was only possible with the perivascular model, since it causes a complete and lasting decellularization of the media. Using this model, we demonstrated that the migration of uninjured endothelial cells precedes proliferation (bromodeoxyuridine incorporation) and that these events occur at earlier time points with E2 treatment. We have also identified an uninjured retrograde zone as an intimate component of the endothelial regeneration process. Thus, in the perivascular model, the regenerative area can be subdivided into a retrograde zone and a reendothelialized area. Importantly, both areas are significantly enlarged by E2. In conclusion, the combination of the electric perivascular injury model and EFCM is well adapted to the visualization of the endothelial monolayer and to investigate cellular events involved in reendothelialization. This process is accelerated by E2 as a consequence of the retrograde commitment of an uninjured endothelial zone to migrate and proliferate, contributing to an enlargement of the regenerative area.

Full textAbstract:
In an oligotrophic bay, Mitsu Bay, Japan, artificial timber reefs (ATRs) are deployed to increase fish production. In such man-made ecosystems, the biological activities of other organisms as well as the physical structures of ATRs could influence nutrient cycling. A pelagic–benthic coupling model expressing both phosphorus and nitrogen cycling was developed to investigate seasonal variation in the associated nutrients and their annual budget in the ATR areas and the entire bay system. The model consists of equations representing all the relevant physical and biological processes. The model reproduced the observed seasonal variations in dissolved inorganic P, ammonium, and nitrate concentrations that were low in spring and summer and high in autumn and winter. The internal regeneration rates of the nutrients were two times higher in the ATRs than in the bay area, so that fish production was predicted to be higher in the ATRs than in the bay area. Considering the inflows from the land and precipitation are quite low, nutrient regeneration is an important source of nutrients for the water in Mitsu Bay. ATR deployment could be an important local nutrient source in an oligotrophic bay, and could increase fish production.

Full textAbstract:
Large-scale wildfires (∼104–106 ha) have the potential to eliminate seed sources over broad areas and thus may lead to qualitatively different regeneration dynamics than in small burns; however, regeneration after such events has received little study in temperate forests. Following a 200 000 ha mixed-severity wildfire in Oregon, USA, we quantified (1) conifer and broadleaf regeneration in stand-replacement patches 2 and 4 years postfire; and (2) the relative importance of isolation from seed sources (live trees) versus local site conditions in controlling regeneration. Patch-scale conifer regeneration density (72%–80% Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb). Franco)) varied widely, from 127 to 6494 stems·ha–1. Median densities were 1721 and 1603 stems·ha–1 2 and 4 years postfire, respectively, i.e., ∼12 times prefire overstory densities (134 stems·ha–1). Because of the complex burn mosaic, ∼58% of stand-replacement area was ≤200 m from a live-tree edge (seed source), and ∼81% was ≤400 m. Median conifer density exceeded 1000 stems·ha–1 out to a distance of 400 m from an edge before declining farther away. The strongest controls on regeneration were distance to live trees and soil parent material, with skeletal coarse-grained soils supporting lower densities (133 stems·ha–1) than fine-grained soils (729–1492 stems·ha–1). Other site factors (e.g., topography, broadleaf cover) had little association with conifer regeneration. The mixed-severity fire pattern strongly influenced the regeneration process by providing seed sources throughout much of the burned landscape.

Urban regeneration is of considerable contemporary public interest and debate. Sustainable urban regeneration requires a comprehensive and integrated vision and action to address the resolution of urban problems and bring about a lasting improvement in the economic, physical, social, and environmental conditions of an area that has been subject to change. Thus, there are increased requirements for decision making and knowledge sharing by urban planners, local authorities, and other practitioners to achieve sustainability in urban regeneration activities. To address these challenges the research team of the Sustainable Urban Regeneration (SURegen) project (UK Government EPSRC funded, £2.5 Million, in the SUE programme) designed and implemented a prototype Regeneration Workbench, which addresses the key challenges in regeneration practice and provides a flexible and integrated e-platform. Over the past 20 years many Planning Support Systems (PSS) have been developed. Whereas most of these systems address a small range of issues, the SURegen workbench takes a holistic approach to all aspects that have influence sustainable regeneration. Furthermore, the workbench specifically addresses the management of urban regeneration projects and the skills gaps amongst regeneration professionals. This article describes the urban challenges addressed and details the SURegen approach to meeting these challenges.

A case study of part of downtown Lodz called Nowa Dzielnica."

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Lodz is a post-industrial city in central Poland, the third largest in terms of population and with the largest area of downtown districts in the country. The regeneration of historical districts is one of the main challenges of the local urban policy here, as in many other post-industrial cities. Urban regeneration is understood as cohesive changes implemented in terms of social, economic and spatial conditions on degraded areas, according to mechanisms introduced by the Urban Renewal Act. Another consideration is climate change, which requires an in-depth approach to design objectives so that they include certain solutions increasing the city’s resilience to climatic events. In accordance with the European Union’s policy, in 2013, the Polish Council of Ministers adopted the Strategic Adaptation Plan for sectors and areas sensitive to climate changes until 2020, looking forward to 2030. The implementation of this plan was entrusted to the Ministry of the Environment, in partnership with 44 cities with a population of over 100,000 residents, including Lodz. The city’s adaptation plan to climate changes until 2030 indicates that the most vulnerable areas of the city are those of high-intensity residential development. These areas are particularly vulnerable to the phenomena of urban heat islands, urban flooding, storms, and smog. The article shows the planning assumptions for the part of the centre called Nowa Dzielnica (New District). It is an interesting example of implementing local spatial policy at district scale, but also on a much larger scale than usually adopted in local plans. The Nowa Dzielnica downtown section was described in a sequence of four local land use plans. This constitutes an example of spatial management at local government level, which may define the direction of changes for downtown districts in other post-industrial cities. It serves as a good example of implementing changes for centres where both urban regeneration and resilience urban planning constitute important elements of urban policy.

Full textAbstract:
Plant-derived secondary metabolites represent a reservoir of phytochemicals for regenerative medicine application because of their varied assortment of biological properties including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and tissue remodeling properties. In addition, bioactive phytochemicals can be easily available, are often more cost-effective in large-scale industrialization, and can be better tolerated compared to conventional treatments mitigating the long-lasting side effects of synthetic compounds. Unfortunately, their poor bioavailability and lack of long-term stability limit their clinical impact. Nanotechnology-based delivery systems can overcome these limitations increasing bioactive molecules’ local effectiveness with reduction of the possible side effects on healthy bone. This review explores new and promising strategies in the area of delivery systems with particular emphasis on solutions that enhance bioavailability and/or health effects of plant-derived phytochemicals such as resveratrol, quercetin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, and curcumin in bone tissue regeneration.

Full textAbstract:
In planarians, blastema cells do not divide, and growth blastema is thought to result from the steady wound epithelium, of undifferentiated cells produced in the stump. However, whether these cells come only sources or whether cells placed far from the wound can participate, after long-range migrations, in the still uncertain. To study this problem, we have parameters of the process of regeneration: cell growth; number of cells produced by mitosis in the wound (postblastema); and rates of movement undifferentiated cells using grafting procedures with chromosomal markers. The results show that: (1) cells area spread (move) at higher rates than cells placed (90–140_mday-1 versus 40–50_mday-1); (2) cells than 500_m from the wound boundary are hardly 5-day-old blastemata; and (3) the number of cells within a 200–300_m postblastema area around the wound explain, provided their rates of movement are taken increasing number of blastema cells. From this, it is blastema cells in planarians originate from local mitotic activity jointly with local cell movement postblastema area around the wound match the blastema cells during regeneration.

Subject. Regeneration is one of the most relevant problems of medicine and biology. As it was before and as it is now, the field of investigation, which is connected with regeneration exploring, is a range of heated debates. There is a direct correlation between regeneration of bones and local metabolism, mineralization and early vascularization, which supplies nourishment and oxygenation of cell structure of the regenerate. Owing to these factors, the bone has only its mechanic properties. This prerequisite has made a lot of investigators to pay attention for vascular-regeneration complex in zone of forming bone regenerate and its mineralization.
Such adverse circumstances like lack of local circulation, substantial fragment diastasis, excessive instability and etc. do not generate or form delayed intermediate callus. It should be highlighted that there are significant successes in solving reparative regeneration and cortical bone vascularization problems. Nevertheless, a number of problems are not still tackled, they regard to vascularization and reparative regeneration lamellar bone tissue, particularly, middle zone of the facial bone.
Objectives. The study on the base of the experimental researches, to explore the dynamics of reparative regeneration lamellar bone tissue with simulated different size defects of naso-frontal area of rabbit maxilla.
Methodology. Materials of the experiment are comprised of IV series of experiments on 68 adults (from 6 months to a year), both sexes rabbits, of “Chinchilla” breed, weighing from 2.5–3.0 kg.
All animals were kept in the vivarium of the experimental sector of
Institute of Medical Radiology of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR. The investigations included microangiographic, histological and metering quantity of vessels by laser densitometry.
Results. It is noted that vascularization abruptly decreases in remote periods of the observation (180, 365 days) and a tendency in an amount reduction of the regenerate vessels, which the proved by histological researches results.
Conclsion. Healing of naso-frontalis area defects with a height of 5 mm and more flows from mostly fibrocartilaginous compound, under unfavorable conditions are not restored by bone regenerate.

Urban redevelopment is a critical process that needs to apporach issues from different angles with the intention to arrive at one single point: sustainability. Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, with a density of 28,000 people/km2, is currently having a tough time to give its people access to urban facilities. Old Dhaka, the 400-year-old part of the city, has very distinctive characteristics: historical buildings, wholesale trade, a dense urban pattern, narrow roads, low standard of urban utilities. This study attempted to describe persisting problems and expectations of the local people in this area, to be considered during redevelopment. This study followed the method of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). First, the existing development pattern and business zones were determined based on a historical timeline, a transact walk, a social and resource map, and a mobility map. The pair-wise ranking method was used in several focus group discussions to prioritize the problems. After prioritizing, a cause-effect diagram was created for the top problems. Then, after a rigorous SWOT analysis, several strategies were formulated from the point of view of historical conservation, development pattern, and the existing chemical industry. The importance of this study is that it is a real-time study and that it has some general implications for similar future cases, such as prioritizing the most persistent problems, thinking with empathy while dealing with old, traditional areas and to ensure local safety, livability and business performance simultaneously in the case of commercial areas. The results of this study are useful for local policy makers as they provide a valuable blend of technical analysis and local people’s feedback.Abstrak. Pembangunan kembali perkotaan adalah proses kritis yang perlu menangani masalah yang datang dari sudut yang berbeda dengan maksud untuk bertemu pada satu titik, keberlanjutan. Dhaka, ibu kota Bangladesh dengan kepadatan 28.000 orang/persegi. km, mengalami kesulitan untuk memberikan akses ke fasilitas perkotaan kepada warganya. Bagian Dhaka yang berusia 400 tahun, Old Dhaka memiliki karakteristiknya sendiri; bangunan bersejarah, perdagangan grosir, pola perkotaan yang padat, jalan sempit, standar utilitas perkotaan yang rendah. Studi ini mencoba untuk menggambarkan masalah yang ada dan harapan masyarakat lokal di daerah ini yang dapat dipertimbangkan selama pembangunan kembali. Ini mengikuti metode teknik Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). Pada awalnya pola pengembangan dan zona bisnis yang ada ditentukan oleh transact walk dan peta sosial dan sumber daya, garis waktu historis, dan peta mobilitas. Untuk memprioritaskan masalah, metode pemeringkatan berpasangan digunakan oleh beberapa Diskusi Kelompok Terarah (FGD). Setelah memprioritaskan, diagram sebab-akibat dibuat untuk masalah utama. Kemudian setelah analisis SWOT yang teliti, beberapa strategi diusulkan dari sudut pandang konservasi historis, pola pembangunan, industri kimia yang ada. Studi ini sangat penting karena ini adalah studi waktu nyata. Selain itu, ini menarik beberapa implikasi umum untuk kasus masa depan yang serupa seperti memprioritaskan masalah yang paling bertahan, berpikir dengan empati saat menangani kota tua yang tradisional dan untuk memastikan keamanan lokal, kelayakan hunian dan kinerja bisnis secara bersamaan ketika kasus tersebut berada di area komersial. Studi ini sangat penting bagi pembuat kebijakan lokal karena studi ini merupakan perpaduan yang bagus antara analisis teknis dan masukan masyarakat lokal.Kata kunci.

Full textAbstract:
Wound healing is an important medical problem. We evaluated the efficacy of locally administered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from human umbilical cords on the dynamics of skin wound healing. The study was conducted on the backs of Wistar rats, where two square wounds were created by removing all layers of the skin. Four groups were studied in two series of experiments: (1) a Control_NaCl group (the wounds were injected with 0.9% NaCl solution) and a Control_0 group (intact wounds on the opposite side of the same rat’s back); (2) an MSC group (injected MSCs, local effect) and a Control_sc group (intact wounds on the opposite side of the back, remote MSC effect). The area and temperature of the wounds and the microcirculation of the wound edges were measured. Histological and morphometric studies were performed on days 3 and 7 after the wounds were created. The results showed that the injection trauma (Control_NaCl) slowed the regeneration process. In both MSC groups (unlike in either control group), we observed no increase in the area of the wounds; in addition, we observed inhibition of the inflammatory process and improved wound regeneration on days 1–3 in the remote group and days 1–5 in the local (injected) group. The MSC and Control_sc groups demonstrated improved microcirculation and suppression of leukocyte infiltration on day 3. On day 7, all the studied parameters of the wounds of the Control_0 group were the same as those of the wounds that received cell therapy, although in contrast to the results of the Control_ NaCl group, fibroblast proliferation was greater in the MSC and Control_sc groups. The dynamics of the size of the wounds were comparable for both local and remote application of MSCs. Thus, even a one-time application of MSCs was effective during the first 3–5 days after injury due to anti-inflammatory processes, which improved the regeneration process. Remote application of MSC, as opposed to direct injection, is advisable, especially in the case of multiple wounds, since the results were indistinguishable between the groups and injection trauma was shown to slow healing.

Full textAbstract:
Proper understanding of the diversity and natural structure of woody species and the impacts of human interventions are prerequisites for maintaining the remaining forests as well as restoration of deforested and degraded areas. This research was conducted to document the impact of human interventions on the population structure and the species diversity in the Arasbaran biosphere reserve in Iran due to the limited research and insufficient knowledge. The study area was divided into three adjacent sampling areas of low, medium, and high destruction intensity. Thirty fixed area 0.1-hectare plots were sampled to evaluate the composition, diversity, and species richness. Oak (Quercus macranthera), hawthorn (Crataegus meyeri), and maple (Acer campestre) were the top three dominant tree species at all the sites. The relative dominance of the top three species comprised 87.8% of the basal area of all species. The relative abundance of the top three species accounted for 68.1% of the species. The mean density and basal areas per tree across all three destruction statuses were 145 ± 59 stems ha−1 and 0.01 ± 0.005 m2 ha−1, respectively. The mean height of trees was different at low and high disturbance sites (4.6 ± 0.96 m and 3.37 ± 1.74 m, respectively). Due to the impact of human interventions on forest structure, composition, and diversity, conservation programs are recommended for implementation and in collaboration with local communities to employ management aimed at providing services for local people while restoring these forests. Basic ecological studies such as this study are the foundation to begin developing policies and management that meet multiple ecological and social goals.
