Abstract:
Overpopulation and resource shortages are becoming increasingly important challenges to our global agenda. Cities are rapidly evolving, expanding in size and density while confronting major challenges such as migration, deteriorating healthcare, and transportation issues. Studying Egypt's overall urban development tendencies, as well as the continuously growing population in Greater Cairo, it becomes clear that developing new urban communities to accommodate this increase is a requirement. The major goal of any city pursuing evolution is to solve its issues to improve the quality of life and services for its residents, which ties into the goal of a "smart city," as it maximizes the use of technology to satisfy the current and the future needs. This paper discusses the strategy for transforming the old Cairo capital into a new administrative capital (NAC), which is intended to be a smart capital city. It also discusses smart city dimensions, smart city performance evaluation criteria, and smart city technologies such as implementing smart applications in various city sectors, all of which contribute to the city's continued development.

Abstract:
Media information has a very big role in conveying information to the public. This is also supported by the development of information technology that can be used according to the needs of the user. In building a business we must be able to follow the development of today's business science. One of them is in obtaining funds or obtaining capital to support the business that is being built. Media information that is widely used to support this is the website. Many entrepreneurs use banking services to seek venture capital. However, now entrepreneurs have started using modern ways to get capital, namely Crowdfounding Sites which are an alternative for entrepreneurs to find funds to start their own business. From this site, businesses expand their business by obtaining venture capital. In Indonesia, crowdfunding sites have started to emerge, such as kitabisa.com,Jadikan.com, Ayopeduli.com, usahaan.net, gagas.web.id, bursaside.com and tedung.com. With this site, entrepreneurs can change their views on how to obtain initial capital for the businesses they run. With this crowdfounding site, it is hoped that entrepreneurs will be able to build a quality business and be able to keep abreast of developments in the information technology-based business world.

Abstract:
The concept of a “smart city” uses the notion of a “smart citizen”, which is impossible to understand without the concept of human capital. The implementation of the “smart city” concept directly relates to the actualization of human capital. It is important to define the elements of human capital that characterize and ensure the success of embedding a person in the processes of digitalization in the modern social context. This article provides an overview of modern approaches to the definition of the main elements of human capital. The authors aim to analyze foreign concepts for determining the elements of human capital that directly or indirectly affect the digitalization of society, the possibility of embedding each person in new conditions. The presence of general global changes, however, varies by countries. An additional value of this research lies in enriching the definition of human capital from the perspective of an integrated approach to the definition of this concept. This approach involves considering human capital as a value, quality, resource, skills, competencies, and personality traits. The authors conclude that human capital can be accepted as a system of aggregated indicators of social, psychological, organizational, and other capitals. In addition, the expanded interpretation of human capital with an emphasis on its embeddedness in the social context of society allows identifying the conditions that contribute to the formation of a smart citizen as the main actor in the implementation of the ‘smart city” concept. The social component of the “smart city” model in the person of a smart citizen can be implemented through their social activity, participation in the management of the implementation of the goals of digitalization of society.

Abstract:
This research aims to identify professions necessary for the formation of smart cities, as well as risks associated with the emergence of such entities. We applied a market (comparative) approach for the analysis of digital technologies and professions suitable for Industry 4.0. It was found that a “smart city” has several interrelated dimensions: “smart economy”, “smart environment”, “smart people” and “smart technologies”. In order to reduce risks when building such a complex system, significant changes to the education system are required. Due to these changes, many professions and industries involved in the field of digitalization and “smart cities” will be created. These professions may range from specialists in bioinformatics and operators, who form and apply computational methods, to those working in the field of cyber pharmacy with big data. Planning of “smart cities” requires improved living standards, including energy efficient utilities, educational performance, public safety, etc. To implement the concept of “smart city” in a comprehensive way, it is important to provide highquality training and retraining of specialists, introduce new specialties in universities, generate employment mainly in smart working and establish an ongoing environment, including the business one, for boosting innovations.

Abstract:
Abstract Smart City as a concept presupposes using new information and communication technologies in order to improve the quality of life within a particular geographic area. There are six different pillars in the frame of this concept and their one purpose is to achieve better efficiency of city operations. Smart mobility and transport are some of them. The efforts of traditional cities to become smart are not easily and quickly achievable. Numerous traffic solutions have already been implemented in different cities all over the world that make the ‘jump’ from traditional city to smart city. This paper provides an overview of the ‘smart’ transport solutions that have been implemented in the city of Skopje as a traditional city, which is on its way to becoming a smart city. The presented smart solutions are related to traffic management and control area and are aimed at alleviating traffic problems. The focus is on non-motorized solutions, e-vehicles, adaptive traffic control systems and public transport solutions. Several aims have been set in this paper – to promote the achievements of the municipality of Skopje aimed at transforming Skopje into a smart city in a transport area; to present its functionality, and to point out the disadvantages related to law regulations and the interconnection of all stakeholders involved. Finally, the idea is to provide a starting point for future research and to recommend future steps in this direction in the city of Skopje.

Abstract:
Previous studies have found a strong positive correlation between human capital, measured as the share of the adult population with a college degree, and population growth in metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) in the U.S. In this paper, I corroborate that the human capital-growth connection is indeed statistically significant, although much weaker than previously thought. The evidence suggests that the main reason behind this bias lies on endogeneity issues that have not been thoroughly addressed in the literature. In particular, omitting lagged MSA growth in regressions of current MSA growth on human capital overestimates the impact of skills by 100 per cent. Given that past growth has been shown to be one of the main drivers of current MSA growth (Glaeser 1994a), omitting the former variable in growth-education regressions would bias our human capital estimates upwards. Upon further examination, however, I show that MSA-specific fixed effects explain away the alleged impact of past on current growth. This suggests that the individual characteristics of the city that made it grow in the first place, and not lagged MSA growth per se, are what drives future MSA growth. Yet, even after accounting for these MSA-specific fixed effects, the impact of human capital on MSA growth does not disappear: my estimates suggest that a decadal increase of 10 per cent in the share of the adult population with a college degree translates into a rise of between 3 and up to 5 per cent in the MSA population growth rate during the same period. Finally, instrumental variable regressions strongly support the direction from skills to growth, abating potential reverse causality concerns.Clasificación JEL: R11, J24.

Abstract:
Unternehmensgründungen sind durch ein hohes Maß an Unsicherheit und durch eine häufige Notwendigkeit externer Beratung gekennzeichnet. Daher ist Smart Capital, als eine spezielle Finanzierungsform, die Kapital und Informationsflüsse in Form von Betreuung und Beratung verbindet, von besonderer Bedeutung für junge Unternehmen. Der empirische Teil der Dissertation analysiert die verschiedenen Typen von Finanziers, die als potentielle Anbieter von Smart Capital angesehen werden sowie regionale Einflüsse auf Finanzierungsbeziehungen im Rahmen von Smart Capital. Des Weiteren wird die Rolle der öffentlichen Hand auf dem Markt für Smart Capital untersucht. Die Analysen machen deutlich, dass viele verschiedene Typen von Finanziers als Anbieter von Smart Capital in Deutschland agieren. Regionale Nähe zwischen dem Investor und den finanzierten Unternehmen spielt dabei jedoch nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Eine regionale Unterversorgung an Smart Capital für junge Unternehmen ist unter diesem Aspekt nicht zu befürchten. Des Weiteren zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass öffentlich geförderte Anbieter von Smart Capital ihre Förderfunktion im Wesentlichen erfüllen.

Abstract:
Negli anni, la città di Torino ha vissuto una profonda trasformazione: da città-fabbrica, incentrata esclusivamente sulla sua industria manifatturiera, è divenuta una smart city, una città intelligente dove gli individui, consapevoli dell’importanza delle nuove tecnologie, modificano il proprio modus vivendi et operandi in base alle nuove richieste della società. Il lavoro si apre con una breve introduzione sull’evoluzione del turismo, a cui segue una descrizione dei nuovi concetti di digital business ecosystem e di smart destination, per poi avviare uno studio approfondito dell’impegno profuso dall’Unione Europea nel settore turistico. A questo proposito, viene preso in considerazione il context European Capital of Smart Tourism, proposto dalla Commissione Europea, dove la città di Torino si candida e risulta tra le dieci finaliste. Il corpo di questo lavoro è focalizzato interamente su Torino, con un’analisi dettagliata delle sue caratteristiche e potenzialità nei settori dell’accessibilità, della sostenibilità, della digitalizzazione e del patrimonio culturale legato alla creatività, i quattro parametri presi in esame dal comitato di valutazione del context. Attraverso lo studio dei tre piani strategici della città, susseguitisi dal 1998, si mette in risalto l’obiettivo primario del capoluogo piemontese: divenire una metropoli entro il 2025. Pertanto, sulla base di tale scopo, viene avviato un paragone con i vincitori del context per proporre nuove best practices da applicare all’interno dell’organizzazione cittadina nel tentativo di ottenere un riconoscimento più ampio a livello europeo. Infine, segue una breve descrizione di quei settori che sono stati messi da parte dal context in esame, per valutare un'eventuale posizione di Torino se le categorie di selezione fossero state diverse.

Abstract:
In this research, the “Smart City-edifice” of Lisbon has been examined through qualitative field work carried out in the city. The concept of the Smart City- edifice has been designed by the author in an attempt to grasp the ambiguous Smart City ambition as an assemblage of (i) specific techniques incorporated into the urban environment (ii) the modes of governance which these techniques allow for, particularly real time data collection & (iii) issues of city branding, placemaking and urban, Smart regeneration. The highlighted empirical material has been produced in collaboration with interlocutors from three different projects, and relate to the three different facets of the Smart Cityedifice: A developer of a gamification scheme (e-governance), a sustainable neighbourhood project (Tech-driven sustainability and governance/civic participation) and lastly a creative hub (branding, creativity & regeneration). These facets are being examined in the context of Lisbon, a city which has gone through a re-formulation of urban agendas in the capitalist restructuring of the economy in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The post-crisis strategy in Lisbon is interpreted as a sort of “attraction hysteria” (Anttiroiko, 2014), as much effort has been placed on attracting global capital and tourism, incentivised not least by a liberalized, profitable housing market. This attraction hysteria is understood by the author as producing specific implications for the development of the Smart Cityedifice. Main findings include the hinderances that said politics have produced for ambitions of civic participation and other democratic visions of the Smart City. These findings are understood in the light of the Lefebvrian framework of the “right to the city” and critical understandings of the touristified city. The field work itself has been guided by two key research questions, these being: a) How are Smart City narratives being operationalized locally by actors in Lisbon? B) What possible tensions could arise between Smart aims of global urban competitiveness and aims of civic participation, in the context of Lisbon?

Abstract:
Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Administración
El principal recurso de las empresas son las personas. Mientras mejor funcionen los equipos de trabajo, mejor será su rentabilidad Las empresas que buscan capacitar a sus trabajadores siempre tienen la interrogante de si estas capacitaciones funcionan o no, si son efectivas, lo que es muy difícil de probar. Este proyecto ofrece la posibilidad de realizar capacitaciones en habilidades blandas con un método innovador: mediante simulaciones con diversos juegos, y principalmente paintball. Este método da a conocer las falencias reales de los asistentes, ya que los expone a una competencia grabada, para luego desarrollar las brechas que fueron expuestas en este simulacro mediante la ayuda de profesionales expertos en la materia, y finalmente medir sus avances, logrando dar una evidencia a las empresas que contratan el servicio para así asegurar su inversión. Las regiones primera y segunda tienen las compañías mineras más grandes, que cuentan con la mayor cantidad de personal, sin embargo, no existen empresas de capacitación que brinden este servicio como se ofrecen en Santiago y en las ciudades más grandes. Por otra parte el gobierno ofrece beneficios tributarios para la contratación de capacitaciones, lo que facilita su contratación. Otro punto a considerar es que la tendencia es contratar servicios que contribuyan al aprendizaje a largo plazo y al cambio real en el comportamiento de los colaboradores que beneficie la productividad. Por esta razón las empresas prefieren los cursos de capacitación que privilegien las actividades prácticas, las dinámicas grupales en vez de cátedras, ya que de esta manera se facilita el aprendizaje y la concentración. El tamaño del mercado en pesos es de 3.300 millones de pesos anuales aproximadamente que se estima que estas empresas gastan en capacitar a sus trabajadores en habilidades blandas en las dos regiones mencionadas, donde el gobierno proporciona una franquicia tributaria a las empresas que tengan una planilla anual de remuneraciones imponibles superior a 35 UTM ($1.600.000). Este proyecto busca penetrar en el mercado y ganar un 15% del mercado gracias a nuestro servicio innovador y efectivo, probando nuestra eficacia mediante una evaluación objetiva, la cuán se detalla en este informe. Para el inversionista, aprovechar esta oportunidad de negocio significa invertir MM$ 43 aproximadamente el primer año a finales del año 2018 y MM$ 33 el segundo año a finales del año 2019 y recibir un VAN de MM$ 1.148 a 5 años con una TIR de 149,445% y un valor residual del proyecto de MM$ 1.587 al 5º año de operación. Este valor en el año 0 con una tasa de descuento del 12.94% es de MM$ 947 y considera vender el proyecto al precio que generan los flujos de caja a perpetuidad al 5º año, cuando el proyecto se estabilice.

Abstract:
A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Information Management, specialization in Geographic Information Systems
We are living in (smart) cities that hold social-oriented promises but currently, most of these cities disregard the humans. Although some alternatives are appearing such as smart citizen-centric approaches, there is a lack of how promoting truly appealing perspectives toward a common good or better social synergies. Thereby, smart cities, with their associated Information and Communication Technology tools, are offering new possibilities, but, unfortunately, citizens are not fully exploiting the opportunities to empower themselves because, among other reasons, they are not aware of their common spatialities. Currently, we are not able to operationalize the spatial humanurban interactions regarding citizens’ cognitions, feelings and behaviors towards city places (i.e., sense of place) and meaningful geographic human relationships (i.e., social capital). Both concepts are significant as resources for an alternative landscape based on human perception and organization of social interactions fostered through the geographic place(s). In this research, we highlight the need to understand and operationalize social concepts spatial dimension for a better understanding of a smart citizen-centric approach which is mainly dependent on our capability to understand platial urban dynamics. We conceptualized a (spatial) conceptual framework for sense of place and social capital at the individual level to study their spatial relationship in the urban context. We developed a web map-based survey based on the literature to spatialize, characterize and measure sense of place, social capital and civic engagement. Using the spatial data collected, we validated our framework and demonstrated the importance to encompass the spatial dimension of social concepts (i.e., sense of place and social capital) as pivotal aspect (1) to understand the platial urban dynamics; (2) to provide useful social-spatial data to city processes (e.g. civic engagement); and (3) to reveal the potential to include them in social theory and structural equation models. Furthermore, we highlighted the crucial role of Geographic Information Science (GISc) techniques to gather the spatial dimension of those social concepts. Although in this research we focus on the spatial relationship between sense of place and social capital on civic engagement, the possibilities to relate our framework and methodology to other city based-notions can bring to light new platial urban dynamics. This research wants to open up the agenda for further research into exploratory place-based geography studies and, simultaneously, sets up a common social ground to build other socially-oriented conceptualizations or applications on top of it.

Abstract:
Studies conducted for the US have found a positive effect of human capital endowments on employment growth, with human capital endowments diverging at the same time. In contrast, studies for European countries have found convergence of human capital endowments. This paper tests these relationships for 99 Austrian districts for the observation period 1971-2011 by estimating how the presence of high-skilled employment affects total, low-skilled and high-skilled employment growth. To this end, OLS, fixed effects and first difference regressions are estimated. The results show continuous convergence of high-skilled employment which, however, slowed downed significantly since the 1990s. In contrast to previous studies, evidence for positive effects of high-skilled on total and low-skilled employment is only weak and varies over time. Furthermore, the results show that total and high-skilled employment in suburban areas grew faster than in other regions, while districts which bordered the Eastern Bloc were disadvantaged. Nevertheless, spatial neighbourhood effects within Austria are only weak. (authors' abstract)

Abstract:
The detrimental consequences associated with industrial models of food production are becoming more difficult to ignore. In response, one dominant approach to mitigating the myriad environmental, social, and ethical harms relating to food has sought to increase the efficiency of agricultural outputs through scientific and technological innovation. Although technology certainly has some role to play in any vision of a sustainable future, technocratic approaches to problem solving are insufficient—and arguably inappropriate—for addressing many of the kinds of complex challenges that we face today. There are recent indications that both agri-food law and policy and innovation policy are being taken more seriously in Canada, which creates an opportunity to reflect more deliberately on their ends and means. This dissertation explores the topic of how laws, policies, and other tools of governance can work to better align technological innovations in the agri-food sector with shared environmental goals and ethical aspirations. Taking a critical legal perspective closely informed by feminist insights and the work of existing, analogous justice movements, I examine several interlinkages between technology, law, the environment, and society to evaluate some of the failings of existing approaches to food systems transformation and to offer a contribution to the conversation about alternative pathways. Given the context-specific nature of food systems and food systems governance, my focus is primarily on Canada, but the universal importance of food in a globalized world renders some comparative and transnational discussion unavoidable. I use case studies and discourse analysis to demonstrate that, when considered through a justice-oriented lens, several of the new and emerging technologies being championed in the agri-food sector may not be as beneficial as their proponents claim. Instead, they may serve to retrench injustice and cement existing, exploitative power structures, making them more difficult to challenge and change later down the line. Thus, if technologies are to serve public instead of private interests in the ways they are incentivized, designed, regulated, and used, we will need to see broad systemic and structural reforms informed by thoughtful shifts in our values and priorities, rather than merely reactive adjustments to our policies and practices. Though this undertaking will be difficult, it is not impossible; this dissertation offers one way to facilitate the process of seeding change for environmental sustainability and technological justice.

Full text
Abstract:
This investor-focused study analyses the role of private finance in climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technology innovation and deployment in Africa and Asia. It focuses in on the perspectives of investors, identifies technologies and areas that demonstrate commercial viability and investment potential, profiles existing investments in CSA technologies, explores the motives and incentives that may attract investors to financing CSA technology companies, and provides a more nuanced understanding of the barriers and bottlenecks that exist for mobilizing greater investment for CSA technology. The findings are based on evidence from 28 interviews with investors and other CSA technology stakeholders, and a review of more than 100 relevant reports and publications. Most investors tend to approach climate challenges from the perspective of environmental, social, and corporate governance(ESG) screening, looking first at risk, and building from a 'do no harm' perspective, rather than seeking to identify solutionoriented technology investments. Less than 1% of private climate finance is currently directed towards CSA, with enterprises struggling to find appropriately costed investment capital. Increasing private financial flows to emerging and developing economies needs to be supported by proactively connecting available capital with investable opportunities and encouraging new market structures and business models.

Full text
Abstract:
The Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA) Programme aims to drive global investment towards inclusive climate-resilient agri-food systems that increase smallholder incomes. CASA's research component has recently identified the challenges faced in mobilizing climate finance in agriculture, and particularly in climate adaptation, as well as the existence of a funding gap for small and medium-sized agriculture enterprises (agri-SMEs) of around $106 billion (ISF Advisors, 2022). Of particular concern is the minimal funding that would be needed to help smallholder farmers adapt to the challenge of climate change and increase their resilience. Adaptation for smallholder farmers might include investment in drought-resistant seeds, technologies and practices that enable climate-smart agriculture, investment in improved water management, and investment in improved management of food waste, including facilities for storage of crops. Smallholder farmers may also benefit from interventions that protect the natural environment on which they depend (e.g. interventions relating to water supplies, soil quality or soil stabilization), or from activities that augment their incomes through payments for the protection of natural capital. Investment in these nature-based solutions (NbS) can potentially contribute to capital flows to smallholder farmers, even though they are often primarily designed to deliver carbon sequestration benefits to companies or investors seeking a 'net zero' position. This report seeks to answer the following questions, which were explored through interviews with key sectoral stakeholders (principally in Asia): What types of investments in agricultural adaptation and NbS are being made by different categories of investors? What are the barriers to investment in climate adaptation in agriculture and in NbS? What opportunities are emerging for these types of investment? What partnerships are required to help drive capital towards these areas of investment? What evidence is needed to drive capital towards these areas of investment?

Abstract:
In today's globalized world, goods and capital are flowing as never before. The movement of people across borders has also enlarged significantly. About 215 million people live away from their home country and many members of such Diasporas are prospering abroad and are eager to extend such success by investing in their homeland. In this paper we explore the impacts of Diaspora Direct Investment (DDI) on international development, i.e. we look at how direct investments from foreign companies connected to Diaspora members (i.e. diaspora-owned firms or firms with diaspora members in the top management) boost productive activities in the home country of such people. One of the main advantages of DDI is that it is more stable than other types of FDI, particularly during unfavorable economic conditions, because of the emotional connections of diaspora members to their country of origin. Moreover, such companies engaging in DDI are often seen as the ¿first movers¿ into a country due to potential advantages they have in terms of knowing the culture and having social networks in the home country. This may act as a catalyst for further investment from other companies by providing market and operational information about the homeland to potential investors. We focus particularly on the experience of Latin America and analyze policy options to design comprehensive diaspora strategies that maximize investments, institutional development and the flow of talent and ideas. Such strategies, which would ideally involve Diaspora members in their formulation, can give Diaspora entrepreneurs support in terms of networking, mentoring and training (e.g. business incubators). Nonetheless, a more mature stage of diaspora engagement would be achieved with the development of venture capital funds as well as other sources of financing (e.g. matching funds). The smart utilization of digital technologies for connecting Diasporas empowers all such policy options.

Abstract:
The growing demand for sustainable energy drives the need for a local workforce to fulfill the demand for experienced and skilled technicians and professionals at various levels, who are capable of designing, developing, installing, operating, advising about, maintaining, and managing the aforementioned energy related systems. Many Caribbean countries have goals to diversify their energy matrices (to reduce fossil fuel dependency and comply with Intended Nationally Determined Contributions). In addition, it is expected that increased training and education in information and communication technologies (ICT) is crucial, as ICT skills are particularly important for the development of a “green” and “smart” economy. Evidence suggests that low skills in the workforce make it difficult for firms to innovate. In the Caribbean, the private sector has reported weak linkages with universities and difficulties in collaboration with research institutions and other companies. Limited collaboration and integration therefore, negatively impacts innovation and reduces opportunities for co-creation and knowledge dissemination. As new technologies emerge, so do new business opportunities, driving the need for supporting entrepreneurship both for small businesses and medium and larger organizations that need to innovate their business models to adapt to a changing business environment. To contribute and address the above needs, the BRIDGE Program was launched in May 2014 and concluded in June 2017. The program focused on the development of human capital, while encouraging gender equality in order to meet the expected future demand for technicians, professionals and entrepreneurs in the sustainable energy (SE) and ICT sectors. The program covered Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago and this publication reports on the findings, achievements, and remaining needs.

Abstract:
Under rapid urbanization that took place from around 1960 to 1990, the Republic of Korea has been facing various urban problems such as the expansion of urban slum, traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Among the various responses to these challenges, New Town development can be regarded as one of the most successful and effective strategies, which hasover 50 years of development history in five phases. Korea's New Towns were developed with three main purposes according to the periodic needs: industry support, housing supply, and nationwide balanced development. Phase I New Towns (1962-81) responded to the country's need for industry promotion. Phase II (1967-86), Phase III (1989-95) and Phase IV (2001-present) New Towns were built in response to the severe lack of housing emerged due to over-concentration in the capital and later its metropolitan area, by providing large-scale housing inside Seoul, in the outer ring of Seoul, and in the Capital Area respectively over time. Finally, the most recent Phase V New Towns (2005-present) provided response to the issue of equitable and balanced development across the country. These development yielded outcomes such as housing market stabilization, improvement of housing condition, securement of public and green spaces, economic effect on related industries, and expansion of urban infrastructure. The paper suggests three success factors of Korea's New Town development. First is feasible planning and concrete implementation strategies that enabled the implementing organizations to overcome conflicts and carry on with the project until completion. The second factor is institutional driving force and legal support which involved establishing a dedicated bureau, defining clear organizational structure and stakeholder roles, and providing timely Acts to support the land acquisition and construction. The third success factor is reasonable land acquisition methodologies which evolved over time from Land Readjustment to Publically Management Development. This paper also presents Sustainable New own Design Criteria as an important implication for the LAC to consider, which includes social, economic and environmental sustainability that pursue outcomes such as social inclusion, self-sufficiency, connectivity, green space and smart resource management. Exchanging these experience of Korea and promoting mutual cooperation would be highly valuable for the cities in LAC to minimize the trial and error and maximize the success factors experienced by Korea as an attempt to relieve the challenges of rapid urbanization they are faced with at present. In this regard, it is anticipated that Korea can actively share its accumulated New Town experience and knowledge and act as one of the promising development partners of the countries in LAC.

Thoma, David. Landscape phenology, vegetation condition, and relations with climate at Capitol Reef National Park, 2000–2019. Edited by Alice Wondrak Biel. National Park Service, March 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/2297289.

Full text
Abstract:
Quantitatively linking satellite observations of vegetation condition and climate data over time provides insight to climate influences on primary production, phenology (timing of growth), and sensitivity of vegetation to weather and longer-term patterns of weather referred to as climate. This in turn provides a basis for understanding potential climate impacts to vegetation—and the potential to anticipate cascading ecological effects, such as impacts to forage, habitat, fire potential, and erosion, as climate changes in the future. This report provides baseline information about vegetation production and condition over time at Capitol Reef National Park (NP), as derived from satellite remote sensing. Its objective is to demonstrate methods of analysis, share findings, and document historic climate exposure and sensitivity of vegetation to weather and climate as a driver of vegetation change. This report represents a quantitative foundation of vegetation–climate relationships on an annual timestep. The methods can be modified to finer temporal resolution and other spatial scales if further analyses are needed to inform park planning and management. The knowledge provided in this report can inform vulnerability assessments for Climate Smart Conservation planning by park managers. Patterns of pivot points and responses can serve as a guide to anticipate what, where, when, and why vegetation change may occur. For this analysis, vegetation alliance groups were derived from vegetation-map polygons (Von Loh et al. 2007) by lumping vegetation types expected to respond similarly to climate. Relationships between vegetation production and phenology were evaluated for each alliance map unit larger than a satellite pixel (~300 × 300 m). We used a water-balance model to characterize the climate experienced by plants. Water balance translates temperature and precipitation into more biophysically relevant climate metrics, such as soil moisture and drought stress, that are often more strongly correlated with vegetation condition than temperature or precipitation are. By accounting for the interactions between temperature, precipitation, and site characteristics, water balance helps make regional climate assessments relevant to local scales. The results provide a foundation for interpreting weather and climate as a driver of changes in primary production over a 20-year period at the polygon and alliance-group scale. Additionally, they demonstrate how vegetation type and site characteristics, such as soil properties, slope, and aspect, interact with climate at local scales to determine trends in vegetation condition. This report quantitatively defines critical water needs of vegetation and identifies which alliance types, in which locations, may be most susceptible to climate-change impacts in the future. Finally, this report explains how findings can be used in the Climate Smart Conservation framework, with scenario planning, to help manage park resources through transitions imposed by climate change.
