Texto completoTo better understand the value of those who engage in environmental stewardship of natural areas, we studied volunteer steward's motivation to participate, their sustainable behaviors and attitudes toward stewardship-related constructs. Specifically, we designed and conducted a survey of volunteers who work as stewards in urban natural areas in Portland, Oregon. We hypothesize that as volunteer frequency increases: participants will be more motivated to participate for environmental reasons, volunteers will be more likely to feel a strong connection to the stewardship site, participants will be more likely to engage in public pro-environmental behaviors, and their level of environmental literacy will increase. Participants were sampled using a face-to-face survey methodology over the course of late winter and spring of 2012 during 18 different Portland Parks and Recreation sponsored stewardship events. We examined the motivations, attitudes and behaviors of the volunteers, and devised appropriate management implications for those organizing volunteer efforts. We equated a three-tiered typology of environmental literacy, based upon the frequency of volunteer participation, and analyzed our survey data using a principal component analysis, generalized linear models, and a qualitative coding analysis. The most frequent participants showed a higher likelihood of participation in public environmental behaviors, whereas participants at all frequency levels were also likely to participate in private environmental behaviors, such as removing invasive plants in one's yard. Volunteers across all frequencies of participation were motivated to engage in stewardship events by a desire to help the environment. By understanding volunteers' motivations and linked behaviors, park managers may gain insights about the recruitment, retention, and messaging of volunteers upon whom they may depend to achieve restoration goals. We recommend considering volunteers' motivations and benefits derived from participation in messaging to recruit and retain volunteers. Additionally, park managers should take advantage of educational opportunities linked to stewardship events, such as training programs and chances for volunteer mentorship.

Texto completoDissipative flows of mineral resources are central to environmental impact assessment, since they are harmful to the environment and embody a wasteful use of non-renewable resources. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a recognized environmental assessment tool framed by the ISO 14040/44 norms, typically aiming to prevent damage on three areas of protection (AoP): ecosystem health, human health, and natural resources.Traditionally, the depletion of mineral resources has been assessed to quantify impacts on the AoP natural resources. However, recent trends in discussion within the LCA community suggest that dissipation of minerals may be more relevant to assess, since they represent the real loss of materials that are no longer accessible for future use, whereas the depletion of geological stocks may actually be considered to be desirable for as long as mineral resources remain accessible for further human use.This thesis has the objective to improve the consideration of dissipative flows of mineral resources in the LCA framework, focusing on the AoP natural resources. Broadly speaking, two topics are encompassed within the objective: improving the understanding of the impacts of mineral resource use on the AoP natural resources, and developing a life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) method allowing to quantify these impacts in relation to the dissipation of mineral resources.We first investigate the impact pathways relating human interventions to the AoP natural resources. The relation between resource flows and the AoP natural resources is studied in order to provide a coherent framework to assess the impacts of mineral resource use on the AoP using multiple LCIA methods at once. Then, we explore concepts and terminology surrounding dissipation and propose a conceptual framework to address the dissipation of mineral resources based on dynamic material flow analysis (MFA) data. Two options are identified: reworking current life cycle inventories to integrate dissipative flows and develop a life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) method accordingly, or propose a LCIA method that integrates dissipation in the calculation of its characterization factors that can be applied to extraction flows in the current inventories. The second option is further developed in this thesis.In order to develop LCIA methods, data is collected for 61 metallic elements and dynamic material flow analysis results are computed for them. We then propose two methods to measure the impact of dissipation on mineral resources: the average dissipation rate (ADR) and the potential service time lost (LPST). Based on the dynamic material flow analysis results, midpoint characterization factors are calculated for 61 metals. In addition, endpoint characterization factors are computed using a price-based index. Finally, the characterization factors are applied to a wide range of life cycle inventory datasets in order to observe the trends to be expected in LCA studies covering the dissipation of mineral resources using the developed methods. These results are compared to those of other frequently used LCIA methods to address the impacts of mineral resource use

Compreender o meio ambiente como um sistema frágil e limitado é uma necessidade atual e somente por meio de estratégias e ferramentas voltadas para a sustentabilidade socioambiental dos recortes locais pode-se pensar no equilíbrio de áreas de proteção ambiental, como é o caso da APA da Chapada do Araripe. Neste recorte espacial, a atividade turística encontra-se em forte expansão e é relevante as preocupações em busca de tornar a atividade compatível com a preservação e a conservação desse ambiente destino. Parte integrante dos equipamentos turístico, os meios de hospedagens são reconhecidos na literatura consultada como uma atividade geradora de significativos impactos ao meio ambiente e, quando instalados em áreas de ecossistemas frágeis, demandam intervenções que possam orientar e disciplinar o uso desse espaço. Fiel ao principio que a sustentabilidade é sempre situada, esta tese teve como objetivo geral identificar os fatores críticos para a promoção de negócios hoteleiros sustentáveis na APA Chapada do Araripe, e como objetivos específicos historiar a evolução da intervenção humana na área da APA Chapada do Araripe, identificar os principais impactos gerados pelas atividades econômicas atuais e rastrear os indicadores mais significativos para a construção de uma hotelaria sustentável para esta unidade de conservação e por fim, propor uma norma situada que possa nortear os meios de hospedagens na busca de uma gestão sustentável para a atividade. Baseados em métodos, como estudo de campo e estudo de caso, e em técnicas de entrevistas que envolveram o julgamento de especialistas, esta pesquisa chegou a conclusão de que modelos gerais não teriam, neste momento a adesão dos pequenos e médios hotéis localizados na Área de Proteção Ambiental da Chapada do Araripe, atribuindo esta constatação ao número expressivo de variáveis envolvidas, a ausência das singularidades regionais e principalmente pelo alto custo da certificação. Em resposta á hipótese levantada na tese, que apontou para a necessidade do desenvolvimento de um modelo de certificação centrado nas especificidades locais, foi elaborada uma proposta de certificação para a hotelaria regional, delineada para suprir as necessidades especificas do recorte local, composta pelas variáveis identificadas como mais significativas para a sustentabilidade da APA Chapada do Araripe. Após a construção teórica do modelo, a proposta foi apresentada a um grupo de especialistas, envolvendo empresários do setor hoteleiro, gestores de órgãos ambientais, ambientalistas e pesquisadores da área em análise, que avaliaram, sugeriram ajustes e por fim validaram o modelo.
Understanding the environment as a fragile and limited system is a current need. Only through strategies and tools geared to the socio-environmental sustainability of local cuts may one think of the balance of environmental protection areas such as the APA (place for forest protection) in the Chapada of Araripe. In this spatial cut, tourism activity is in strong expansion and concerns are relevant in seeking to make the activity compatible with the preservation and conservation of these destination environments. An integral part of tourism equipment, lodging facilities are recognized in the literature as an activity that generates significant impacts to the environment and when installed in areas of fragile ecosystems require interventions that can guide and discipline the use of this space. Faithful to the principle that sustainability is always located, this thesis had, as general objective, to identify the critical factors for the promotion of sustainable hotel business in the APA in the Chapada do Araripe, and as specific goals to record the evolution of human intervention in the APA area. Identify the main impacts generated by the current economic activities and trace the most significant indicators for the construction of a sustainable hotel for this conservation unit and, finally, propose a situated norm that can guide the means of lodging in the search of sustainable management for the activity. Based on methods such as field study and case study and interviews techniques that involved the judgment of specialists, this research concluded that general models would not have at present the adhesion of small and medium hotels located in the area of environmental protection of the Chapada do Araripe. Attributing this finding to the expressive number of variables involved the absence of regional singularities and mainly due to the high cost of certification. In response to the hypothesis raised in the thesis was developed a certification model for regional hospitality centered on local specificities and composed of the variables identified as most significant for the sustainability of APA. After the theoretical construction of the model, the proposal presented to a group of experts who evaluated, suggested adjustments and finally validated the model

Resumo: Esta tese versa sobre o papel de pessoas-chave e inovações institucionais na governança, com efeitos na capacidade de governar (governabilidade) áreas marinhas protegidas. Apresentamos um estudo de caso empírico sobre o litoral centro-sul do Estado de Santa Catarina (Brasil) onde indicações preliminares (2007) apontavam que a governabilidade sobre o território se destacava nacionalmente, em parte pelo protagonismo de pessoas-chave em um sistema governante com jurisdição regional denominado Área de Proteção Ambiental da Baleia Franca (APA-BF; criada em 2000 abrangendo 156.000 hectares). Partimos assim da hipótese de que a agência de pessoas-chave em interações governantes (sensu Jan Kooiman) e contextos comunicativos (sensu Gregory Bateson) ligados à APA-BF aumentaram a governabilidade no território centro-sul do estado de Santa Catarina na última década. A pesquisa incluiu dados secundários e primários (entrevistas semi-estruturadas e observação participante). Análises foram feitas sobre a governabilidade estrutural e funcional geral e sobre questões específicas de governança com foco nas questões pesqueiras emergentes no Conselho Gestor da APA-BF (CONAPA-BF). A trajetória da APA-BF demonstrou um caso excepcional de experimentação institucional formal face às condições sociopolíticas operantes no Estado Brasileiro (que criam "problemas perversos", sensu Rittel e Weber, 1979). Observamos que os padrões de inovação são explicados a partir de mudanças na governabilidade em sete fases na trajetória do sistema governante da APA-BF. A identidade transgressiva do CONAPA-BF diferencia-se pela autoafirmação da busca pelo novo, pelo aprendizado e colaboração social gradativamente ampliada em um território em acelerada transformação socioambiental. Descrevemos o aumento gradativo de governabilidade que se iniciou desde o passo-zero (sensu Chuenpagdee et al., 2013) de criação da APA-BF, culminando em 2012 com a abertura de uma janela de oportunidade para inovação estrutural na governança costeira-marinha em nível nacional, i.e. com a designação oficial do processo de elaboração de um Plano de Manejo `Estratégico¿ para a APA-BF como um projeto-piloto para o Estado Brasileiro. Observamos as coerências e desafios surgidos no discurso de inovação e o relevante protagonismo desempenhado pelas pessoas-chave em cada uma das sete fases e em períodos críticos de estruturação e reorganização do sistema governante. As pessoas-chave foram importantes para o tamponamento de distúrbios (sensu Holling 2001) no sistema governante, bem como são responsáveis pela incidência e atração de novos enfoques de ação tendo em vista a colaboração e aprendizado interativo. Tais pessoas-chave tiveram papel fundamental desde a re-estruturação do sistema governante até a abertura de oportunidades para a inovação institucional e a navegação de períodos transformativos neste sistema. Seus atributos pessoais afetaram a capacidade de governanca do sistema, principalmente na melhor formulação da imagem dos problemas a serem enfrentados, contribuindo com as capacidades do sistema governante (governabilidade funcional) e na condutibilidade geral das interações governantes. Oferecemos algumas sugestões gerais para o aumento da governabilidade na APA-BF, incluindo: (i) melhor integração junto as redes sociais virtuais ligadas ao território; (ii) promoção de estruturas interinstitucionais sensíveis à diversidade política no território; (iii) melhor aproveitamento do potencial das artes e atividades lúdicas em interações formais e informais; (iv) emprego de imagens alternativas à da Baleia (como ícone) para a comunicação social relacionada ao sistema governante APA e; (v) reinvidicação de maior amparo do Estado Brasileiro para os processos de experimentação e inovação institucional. Algumas destas sugestões podem ser relevantes também para aumentar a governabilidade de outras áreas marinhas protegidas no Brasil. Por fim, mesmo diante de tantos desafios, concluimos que muitas pessoas-chave e outros atores já compartilham das imagens alternativas de governança necessárias para navegar a transformação rumo a um regime de maior governabilidade. Ao enfrentarem desafios de várias ordens, os atores poderão não apenas manter o desempenho até então alcançado, mas avançarem em padrões de interação criativos e sinérgicos para ampliar e conjugar o potencial contido nas capacidades pessoais, institucionais e políticas de cada um
Abstract: This thesis investigate the role of key-people in institutional innovations in governance systems, particularly their effects on the capacity to govern (governability) marine protected areas. We present an empirical study case on the central-southern coast of Santa Catarina state (Brazil) where preliminary indications (in 2007) signalled that governability over the territory was outstanding nationally, partly due to the agency of key-people in a governing system with regional jurisdiction, namely the Baleia Franca Environmental Protection Area (BF-EPA; designated in 200 encompassing 156.000 hectares). We departed from the hypothesis that the agency of key-people in governing interactions (sensu Jan Kooiman) and communicative contexts (sensu Gregory Bateson) linked to the BF-EPA raised the governability of the above mentioned territory in the past decade. Our research included secondary and primary data (semi-structured interviews and participant observation). Analyses were made over general structural and functional governability as well as on specific governing issues with a focus on emergent fishing issues at the BF-EPA Management Council (BF-EPA MC). The trajectory of BF-EPA demonstrated an exceptional case of formal institutional experimentation in face of the operating sociopolitical conditions of the Brazilian State (which poses "wicked-problems", sensu Rittel and Weber, 1979). We have observed that innovation patterns can be explained through changes in governability in seven phases of the focal governing system. The transgressive identity of the BF-EPA Management Council is differentiated by its self-affirmed search for the new, for learning and social collaboration gradually enhanced in a territory suffering from accelerated social-environmental transformation. We described the gradual governability increase starting from the step-zero (sensu Chuenpagdee et al., 2013) of the BF-EPA designation process, leading all the way to 2012 with the opening of a window of opportunity for structural innovation with potential changes spanning to a national level, i.e. official designation of the process of elaboration of a `Strategic¿ Management Plan for the BF-EPA as a pilot-project for the Brazilian state. We describe the coherence and challenges implicit in the innovation discourse and the relevant agency performed by key-persons in each of the seven phases and in critical periods of systemic structuring and reorganization. Key-people were important buffer of disturbances (sensu Holling, 2001) in the governing system, as well as responsible for the incidence and attraction of new frames for action regarding interactive learning and collaboration. They had a fundamental role from the re-structuring of the governing system until the opening of windows of opportunity for institutional innovation and navigation of systemic transformation periods. Their personal attributes affected governability, mainly in improving the formation of images of problems, contributing to the governing system capacity (functional governability) and general conduciveness of governing interactions. We offer some general suggestions for increasing governability at BF-EPA, including: (i) better integration with virtual social networks bonded to the territory; (ii) promotion of interinstitutional structures sensitive to the political diversity in the territory; (ii) better usage of the potential of arts and ludic activities in formal and informal interactions; (iv) application of alternative images than that of the whale (as an icon) for social communication related to the EPA governing system and; (v) improved support of the Brazilian State to institutional experimentation and innovation processes. Some of these suggestions can be also relevant to improve governability of other marine protected areas in Brazil. Finally, even with so many challenges, we suggest that key-person and other actors already share alternative governing images necessary to navigate transformation towards a higher governability regime. While facing obstacles and risks of various orders, the actors will be successful if they are able to maintain and improve the performance achieved so far while advancing in creative and synergic interaction patterns in order to amplify and conjugate the potential contained in individual, institutional and political capacities of each actor

Resumo: As Unidades de Conservação (UCs) são o tipo de área protegida que se configuram como a principal estratégia do poder público para promover a conservação da biodiversidade e recursos naturais à ela associados. A integração dessas unidades à dinâmica territorial, intervindo e alterando-a, quando necessário, é essencial para que sejam cumpridos os seus objetivos de criação. A zona de amortecimento é um dos instrumentos do plano de manejo das UCs que respondem pela integração da unidade ao território. No presente trabalho foram analisados o Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação (SNUC), o Plano Estratégico Nacional de Áreas Protegidas e os planos de gestão do território cujos objetivos e diretrizes influenciam a implementação das zonas de amortecimento. Com a finalidade de entender o isolamento inicial das áreas protegidas no Brasil, foram recuperados os marcos históricos da estruturação político-institucional do Estado brasileiro na área de conservação ambiental: das primeiras ações de proteção dos recursos naturais na época do império até a territorialização da conservação da biodiversidade, que culminou com a criação do Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação (SNUC). Os planos de gestão do território foram apresentados e analisados segundo a perspectiva de integração das UCs aos diversos usos do território. Os critérios para a delimitação física da zona de amortecimento definidos pelo Conselho Nacional de Meio Ambiente (CONAMA) e pelo Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA) foram listados e, a partir da legislação analisada, foram discutidos os elementos que elas oferecem para a viabilização das zonas de amortecimento.
Abstract: The Conservation Units are a sort of protected area which presents themselves as being the main strategy of the State to promote the maintenance of biodiversity and its natural resources. The integration of these Units into the dynamics of the territory, causing to intervene in and transform it whenever necessary, is essential so that the objectives of their creation are met. The buffering zone is one of the tools of the UCs management plan which is responsible for the integration of a Unity into the territory. In this study, the Conservation Units National System (SNUC), the National Strategic Plan of Protected Areas, as well as the territory management plans, whose goals and policies affect the implementation of the buffering zones, have been analysed. In order to understand the initial isolation of protected areas in Brazil, it was necessary to retrace the historic events which contributed to the political-institutional organization of Brazilian State concerning the realms of environmental conservation: from the first actions taken towards the protection of natural resources at the Empire Age to the =territorialization' of biodiversity conservation, leading to the creation of the Conservation Units National System (SNUC) The territory management plans have been presented and analysed according to the expectations of the UCs integration into the several uses of the territory.The criteria for the setting of the geographical boundaries to the buffering zones established by the Environment National Board (CONAMA) and the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources National Institute (IBAMA) have been listed, and basing on the analysed legislation, the elements they provide for the viability of the buffering zones have been discussed.

Texto completoA criação de Unidades de Conservação tem sido a principal estratégia para a proteção dos recursos naturais e culturais em diversos países incluindo o Brasil e muito se tem progredido nos últimos anos com a criação de novas áreas protegidas em vários estados da federação inclusive em Alagoas. No entanto, para alcançar a conservação da biodiversidade não é suficiente apenas a existência de unidades de conservação, é necessário também implementá-las e manejá-las adequadamente. Por isso, torna-se necessária a avaliação sistemática do estágio de implantação e da qualidade do manejo das mesmas, que sirva de base para a definição de políticas e estratégias que permitam efetivar a sua implementação. A Estação Ecológica (ESEC) de Murici é uma Unidade de Conservação de Proteção Integral, criada por decreto s/n de Maio de 2001, com o intuito de proteger um dos maiores remanescentes da Mata Atlântica do Nordeste Brasileiro. Dentro dos seus limites situa-se a Estação de Floração e Cruzamento de Serra do Ouro (EFCSO) vinculada à Universidade Federal de Alagoas (UFAL). A EFCSO dedica-se a pesquisas científicas de cruzamento e floração de cana-de-açúcar objetivando o seu beneficiamento em resistência e produtividade, produzindo sementes da maioria das variedades que se cultivam no Brasil. O fato dos experimentos científicos serem realizados com cana-deaçúcar, espécie exótica para o bioma da Mata Atlântica, tem suscitado divergência de opiniões entre o Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA) e a UFAL quanto à viabilidade destes experimentos no interior da ESEC. Estes conflitos têm impossibilitado a sinergia entre estas duas instituições face à meta comum do desenvolvimento sustentável. Em que medida a parceria entre as duas instituições poderá contribuir para a implementação da ESEC Murici é um dos objetivos deste estudo. Para tanto foi comparada a efetividade de manejo da ESEC Murici no grau em que se encontra hoje com a efetividade de implementação num cenário em que a referida parceria já seja uma realidade. Os métodos prospectivos baseados em cenários vêm sendo amplamente utilizados para determinação do grau de efetivação de gestão das unidades de conservação. De entre estes métodos destaca-se o Rapid Assessment and Priorization of Protected Area Management (RAPPAM) desenvolvido pela WWF (Fundo Mundial para a Natureza). Este método, sendo o mais amplamente aplicado no mundo e no Brasil, foi adotado para este estudo por ser adequado para a avaliação das unidades de conservação de proteção integral. Após a aplicação do método RAPPAM, verificou-se a possibilidade de um incremento de cerca de 11 % na efetividade de manejo da ESEC Murici com a concretização da parceria.

Texto completoThis work has enabled to show that the future of biological resources safeguarding is not only to be performed on the protected areas but also the integration of non protected areas in the rational management framework of the territory could be a guarantee of a sustainable safeguarding. Moreover, it has also shown to different actors that the presence of a protected area in a location is not without impact on surrounding areas. In this case, 65 national parks impacts on the surrounding areas have been identified meaning there are 28 positive impacts representing 43% against 37 negative impacts representing 57%. Socio-economic impacts are the most numerous followed by cultural impacts and ecological impacts.In order to get these results, two case studies have been performed on Manda and Sena Oura national parks in Chad, all located in the southern area. These are two national parks of the differents generations. In the study framework, 152 people have been surveyed among which there are 19 civil servants, 11 development representatives and 122 members of local communities adjacent to national parks. The satellite images have completed the analysis agenda.The critical and comparative analysis which is included in the perspective of the sustainable development paradigm has revealed that many ecological impacts will occur in long term. The negative socio economic and cultural impacts are best managed in a participative management approach as opposed to a too centralized and exclusive management. The intrinsic factors which have influenced the intensity of impacts are of socio political, demographic, climatic order, the local culture systems and ecological footprints of urban centers nearby. This influence witnesses the difficulty to separate impacts attributed to the creation of protected areas from those generated by other factors

Resumo: A fragmentação florestal, resultante do processo de substituição da cobertura vegetal nativa por áreas antrópicas, é responsável pela redução do tamanho das manchas florestais e é a principal causa da extinção de espécies da fauna e flora nativas. A implementação de corredores ecológicos que conectam fragmentos de habitat configura-se como uma estratégia de conservação da biodiversidade que permite a proteção dos recursos naturais, favorecendo o fluxo de animais e de sementes entre os fragmentos anteriormente isolados. Técnicas de geoprocessamento e análise espacial podem auxiliar na determinação dos locais mais adequados para alocação dos corredores ecológicos, uma vez que permitem a obtenção, organização e disponibilização dos dados de forma eficiente e integradora. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é o mapeamento de corredores ecológicos na Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) Fernão Dias, localizada no estado de Minas Gerais, a partir da conexão dos fragmentos florestais remanescentes da Mata Atlântica, representados pela floresta estacional semidecidual, pela floresta ombrófila densa e pela floresta ombrófila mista. Esta proposta de mapeamento de corredores ecológicos foi desenvolvida a partir de uma abordagem sistêmica, de acordo com os conceitos de Ecologia da Paisagem e da escola espacial da geografia que reúne a cartografia temática e as funções de análise espacial para um Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG). Foi proposta uma regionalização da APA Fernão Dias em quatro geossistemas, subdivididos internamente em geofácies. Estas unidades de paisagem foram caracterizadas em relação aos seus elementos naturais e às suas tendências atuais do uso e cobertura do solo, tendo sido o geossistema Altos da Terra Fria o mais adequado para a alocação espacial dos corredores ecológicos. Oito vetores de mobilidade potencial da fauna foram identificados e traçados a partir da conectividade dos remanescentes. Estes vetores integram toda a área dos corredores ecológicos e apresentam a possibilidade de repovoamento vegetal de áreas ocupadas por outras classes de uso e cobertura do solo
Abstract: The forest fragmentation, resulting from the replacement of native vegetation by anthropogenic areas, is responsible for the size reduction of forest patches and is the main cause of extinction of native fauna and flora. The implementation of ecological corridors that connect habitat fragments appears as a strategy for biodiversity conservation that allows natural resources protection, supporting the flow of animals and seeds between fragments previously isolated. Geoprocessing and spatial analysis techniques can help to determine the most suitable sites for allocation of ecological corridors, as they allow the collection, organization and availability of data in an efficient and inclusive way. The main objective of this work is the mapping of ecological corridors in the Fernão Dias Environmental Protection Area (EPA), located in the state of Minas Gerais, from the connection of the Atlantic Forest remaining fragments, represented by the semideciduous forest, the tropical rain forest and the araucaria forest. The mapping of ecological corridors was developed from a systemic approach according to the concepts of landscape ecology and Geographic Information Systems. A regionalization of the Fernão Dias EPA in four geosystems, divided internally into geofácies, was proposed. These landscape units were characterized according to their natural elements and their current trends in the land use. The Altos da Terra Fria geosystem was chosen for the allocation of ecological corridors. Eight potential vectors of fauna mobility were identified and delineated from the connectivity of the remnants. These vectors integrate the entire area of the ecological corridors and represent the recovery possibility of areas occupied by other land use classes

Research efforts conducted in coastal areas of North Carolina andother regions have documented numerous examples of negative impacts toestuarine water quality as a result of unplanned and unmanaged development.However, new construction is continuing at a rapid pace in these areas,forcing local planners to make complex decisions regarding land uses andprotection of cultural and natural resources.
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-driven toolthat has proven valuable in assisting with this decision making process.GIS technology provides the means to efficiently collect, store, and retrievevast amounts of spatial data. Then, this information may be visually displayedin a manner that supports better understanding and analysis of the physicalenvironment and the potential impacts of growth.
There have been many instances during the past decade in whichGIS has been used to meet the educational and informational needs of citizensand local officials who want to ensure a strong economy and healthy environmentis planned for the future of their community. Most of these projects haveoriginated at the state level, either through the North Carolina CooperativeExtension Service, or other agencies.
A number of zoning options and growth management planning measureshave recently been recommended that coastal government officials shouldconsider for promoting stewardship and protecting important natural resourceswhile continuing to maintain economic vitality. This paper focuses on theapplication of GIS for analyzing and implementing many of those strategieswith emphasis on local responsibility.
In particular, the natural suitability of cluster development forCurrituck County, North Carolina, is examined with GIS. Attention to growthmanagement planning in this coastal county is critical since the populationis projected to increase over 73 percent from 1990 to 2020. GIS data layersfrom the North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis,as well as digitized Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood InsuranceRate Maps, are used to determine the extent of Primary Conservation Areasin the county. In addition, Secondary Conservation Areas are identified

Texto completoThe purpose of this study was to investigate the social, economic and technological factors that influence rates of adoption of innovative stormwater management approaches in municipal organizations in the Great Bay watershed, NH. The scope of this study was to investigate how innovations spread through municipal populations in a specific region and watershed area of the US. The methodology used mixed qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews, case studies, and surveys to examine perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs that influence the adoption of innovative stormwater management solutions, as well as the governance characteristics of municipalities at different stages of adoption. Major findings include: adopter categories can be relatively easily and quickly categorized into early and late majorities as a preliminary means to identify populations of ready and willing audiences interested in and capable of advancing innovations; early and late adopter classifications followed general diffusion theory, but differed in substantial ways that could influence overall project or program success; and finally that early majority communities have more internal and external capacity to advance innovations as well as higher levels of peer-to-peer trust to offset perceptions related to economic risk that can either advance or stall innovative stormwater management solution adoption. This research offers insights on how to allocate scarce resources to optimally improve water quality through stormwater management solutions, and makes recommendations for how to effectively and efficiently generate greater understanding of complex barriers to adoption that thwart innovation in municipal governance organizations. One significant implication is that agents of change who want to move innovations through a broad municipal population should focus their efforts on working with innovators and early adopters that have status within relevant peer networks and who have capacity to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of innovations.

Texto completoGrundvattennivåns modeller har en viktig roll i utvecklingen och tillämpningen av vattenförvaltning och politik. Genom att förstå de tidsmässiga och geografiska variationer grundvattennivån i Gorran skyddat område är viktigt för att utveckla hanteringens strategier.Geostatistical analys med olika modeller som Inverse Distanse Weighted, Radial Basic Funktion och kriging modeller användes för att jämföra grundvattennivåns rekord under 13 observations brunnar 1994 till 2012. Prestandan hos metoder utvärderades med hjälp av medelabsolutfelet (MAE) och rot medelkvadratfelet (RMSE). Resultatet visade att geostatistiska metoder hade högre noggrannhet och Empirical Bayesian kriging (EBK) var den bästa metoden med högsta precision och lägst medelabsolutfel. Cross-validering applicerades också för att utvärdera de bästa minsta kvadratiska medelvärdet (RMSE). Förutsatt potentiometrisk grundvattennivå genomfördes från digital höjdmodell för att förlänga observations område inom samma geologiska specifikation.

Texto completoDistributed Generation systems based on renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar are mostly intermittent sources, due to their dependency on the weather, whereas those based on other primary energy sources are non-intermittent. All of them are specially designed to be integrated into distribution systems, in order to improve the power demand of consumers. In the last few decades of the twentieth century, several different factors have played a key role in increasing interest in systems. Distributed Generation (DG) is gaining more and more attention worldwide as an alternative to large-scale central generating stations. The aim of this research project is to investigate the contribution of distributed generation in fault current level in a power distribution system. The simulation results indicate that DG can have a positive or negative impact, on the fault current level in distribution network systems. The DG location and size affect the fault level. The second aim of this research was to suggest a model-based method for design, and implementation of a protection scheme for power distribution systems, by establish algorithms in a hardware environment. The overcurrent relay was chosen for the model development because it is considered a simple and popular protection scheme, and it is a common scheme in relaying applications. The proposed relay model was tested for fault conditions applied on a simple power system in different scenarios. The overcurrent relay model was implemented in MATLAB/Simulink, by using MATLAB programming languages and the SimPowerSystem (SPS) Tool. MATLAB/SIMULINK software is applicable to the modelling of generation, transmission, distribution and industrial grids, and the analysis of the interactions of these grids. This software provides a library of standard electrical components or models such as transformers, machines, and transmission lines. Therefore, the modelling and simulations are executed using MATLAB/Simulink version 2014b

Texto completoDurante los años noventa el Estado peruano adoptó una tendencia neoliberal con el objetivo de reactivar la economía con la atracción de Inversiones Foráneas Directas (IFD). El rubro minero fue uno de los sectores más beneficiados por estas nuevas reformas políticas que habilitaron a una serie de compañías multinacionales explorar y explotar los recursos minerales en los parajes más recónditos del país. La llegada de estas grandes empresas no solo significó un enorme crecimiento macroeconómico sino también una cuantiosa inyección de capital y un cambio en el acceso de los recursos naturales. Estos cambios causaron diferentes protestas en las comunidades campesinas ubicadas en las áreas de influencia minera que dan pie a la creación de nuevas perspectivas de cómo lograr un desarrollo local. Una de las maneras de estudiar las interacciones entre estos dos actores —la mina y las comunidades— es mediante el uso del análisis de discurso y narrativas.De este modo, este artículo tiene como objetivo hallar las conexiones entre IFD, acceso a los recursos y desarrollo local en nueve comunidades en la cuenca del río Ayash y la multinacional Compañía Minera Antamina (CMA). En este sentido, se utilizaron métodos cualitativos para describir y analizar los efectos directos e indirectos en la población y en su acceso a los recursos. También se analizará cómo la ausencia del Estado puede dar cabida a un uso inadecuado de la Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) y, en consecuencia, motivar a las comunidades a reclamar compensaciones por los daños ambientales. Siguiendo esta línea, se utilizará el Análisis de Discurso para esquematizar estas protestas en forma de narrativas de desarrollo y establecer nuevas consideraciones para futuros y actuales proyectos de IFD en minería.
