Texto completoIn the context of the global human/earth issues (population, poverty, imbalances, environment problematic, global warming, water scarcity, economical globalization, etc.) with the others the Carrying Capacity issue is emerging. It is a "driver" which is not always simply related with sustainable development concepts. It is therefore enormously important to give adequate answers to the majority of the global dilemmas.
The definition of carrying capacity is not easy because it is controversial. So the first chapter of this study is to adopt a clearer position in reference to the meaning, the borders, the key aspects, etc., of our approach to this issue. Basically, our approach is, first, from the sustainable development point of view and, second, a local approach in a global view. Finally and concretely, we indicate what aspects, in which place, how do we study carrying capacity? The answer to these questions will be: the agricultural (land and water) reality in a very specific region of East Sub Saharan Africa.
So the next step of the work is to specify and delimit our chosen region and, obviously, to study it in detail. Chapter 2, and some parts of Chapter 8, are the results of this.
The kind of methodological approach to global human/earth issues is, clearly, the most characteristic point of our work. We follow a scientific approach developed by Dr. Mihajlo Mesarovic over forty years ago in the mathematical systems analysis field and "finished" in multilevel integrated assessment with reasoning support tools for policy analysis. We study in depth and analyze this methodology in Chapter 3.
From a first or high level point of view of a hierarchy of models in our methodology, we study the population and, for the moment in this level, the carrying capacity reality, which is a dynamic system in reality, of our case study region. We have created the corresponding model and then, we have used a reference study from FAO/IIASA/UN [B.3.7] that, according to our bibliography searches and the role that it is continuing to play in the international studies of this issue in developing countries, is a "key reference". We find all of this in chapters 5 (population) and 6 (carrying capacity). In fact one of the goals of this work as a whole is to involve, extend, and indeed test the results of the mentioned report using our methodology.
Always from the hierarchical point of view we affront, finally, the second level representation of our issue. It is the most creative part of our study. We decide, after a deep analysis of the background, that we can succeed in developing a new agricultural model involving land and water aspects.
Because water is another controversial driving factor of the global human/earth issues, we focus on it in chapter 7. We add some personal special approach according to our methodology and "philosophy".
Chapter 8 is the highlight and plays, at the same time, an integrated role of the whole study and, in particular, the second level approach from the point of view of the hierarchy of the models. It allows us to make many final conclusions in several directions. About the methodology itself: extremely powerful with the interrelated combination of the different models levels approach. About the key report cited: only needs to be revised in its high input/output forecasting. The success and new possibilities in order to study the carrying capacity issue, for future policy "vision" analysis, that we now have from the point of view of agricultural reality. Finally, a dramatic foresight and call to the international decision- makers about the situation in our Case Study Region (essentially, the more stressful sub-region of East Sub-Saharan Africa).
0.4.2. OBJECTIVES AND CONTRIBUTIONS
Assessment of carrying capacity is essential in the search for the condition of sustainable development. While sustainability has a global dimension focus, for carrying capacity assessment has to be on geographic areas within which the needs of population have to be satisfied consistent with the physiologically determined time constraints. Specifically, food had to be secured for the population on location and in time where the need exists. Large geographic areas cannot be sustained by food imported from distant locations on the globe. In short, some degree of food self-sufficiency is a prerequisite for sustainability. The research reported here started by identifying eastern Sub-Sahara Africa as the most vulnerable geographic region in the sense of carrying capacity.
The objective of the research was to approach the question of carrying capacity in a practical integrated manner ("problematique"); i.e., in the context of real constraints imposed by environmental life support resources, rather than to "reduce" the problem to the considerations of the theoretical extreme capacity that have no chance of being achieved in reality.
On the first level, a model is developed focusing on the most dominant relationship between population evolution and carrying capacity as a dynamic, time varying system. Broad based data available in international sources are used. Results of FAO research, which is recognized as being the most authoritative, is used to parameterize the model for all countries in the region as well as for the region itself. The concept of an index of carrying capacity potential is developed to assess the results of the simulation using three levels of technology inputs of agricultural production, identified by the FAO.
A second level model is developed in which actual physical constraints -land, yields, water and irrigation- are explicitly taken into account. Assessment of carrying capacity supported by actual data is then conducted using the same carrying capacity potential index as the first level. Consistency of the results on the two levels has been demonstrated. This conclusion -not to be expected a priori- has justified the application of the multilevel, from the hierarchical of the models point of view, approach. As such it presents a contribution to the methodology beyond the carrying capacity problem per se.
So, in summary, the main contributions of the thesis are threefold:
a) Contribution to the complex systems analysis methodology based on the multilevel modeling hierarchy approach, that uses the notions of a dominant relationship rather than more detailed approximation, in order to construct models on different levels of the modeling hierarchy. Consistency of the results on two levels-not expected a priori-open the ways for application of the approach to other problem domains (global warming, water scarcity, etc.).
b) Development of an agricultural (land and water) model to study carrying capacity for any country, region, on the globe. The developed models and the reasoning approach in scenario analysis can be applied to other agricultural carrying capacity problems such as, i.e., for Afghanistan, Bangladesh, etc.
c) Concrete results about targets and policies for the region in the East Sub-Saharan Africa in order to improve their food self-security.

Texto completoThe environmental degradation provided by the consumption of products (JORGENSON, 2003) is the result of the evolution of a society that distances itself away from nature (MORAN, 2011) and from its real needs (FRY, 2005). At the same time, the interests of the market, governments and consumers maintain the hyper-consumption society (FRY, 2005). This fact is noticed by the presence of government consumption policies that appreciate environmental labeling, lay the responsibility for the reduction of the environmental degradation on the consumer (green consumption current) (AKENJI, 2014), and do not consider that the increase in eco-efficiency, without questioning the environmental limits for human activities, causes a rebound effect that can further raise environmental degradation (HANLEY et al., 2009). In contrast, the sustainable consumption current claims to be necessary to rethink consumption levels in order not to overpass the limits imposed by the environment for our activities (AKENJI, 2014). Thus, the necessary information for the sustainable consumption current is the one that indicates to what extent the environmental carrying capacity is exceeded (ALCOTT, 2008). Among all the instruments able to provide information on the environmental aspects of products, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the only instrument designed to assess the environmental consequences related to the life cycle of a product (CHEHEBE, 1997). However, the evidence found in the literature indicates that the methods used by LCA to measure the environmental impact of products (LCIA methods - Life Cycle Impact Assessment) were structured to mainly calculate the eco-efficiency of products, once there are only a few cases (or no indicated by references) in which the environmental carrying capacity is assessed by these methods (POTTING; HAUSCHILD, 2006). Given this context, this work aimed to evaluate whether existing LCIA methods are aligned to the strong or weak sustainability currents. Two evaluation criteria were defined on the basis of strong sustainability: (i) The results of the Impact Category indicator should present how much of the carrying capacity has been exceeded or not by the emissions related to the product life cycle according to the principle (a) of the strong sustainability, which states that human activities should be limited by the environmental carrying capacity (COSTANZA; DALY, 1992) - and (ii) All Impact Categories of a LCIA method must meet the requirement (i) - according to the principle (b) of the strong sustainability, which states that there is no complete substitutability between the different elements of natural capital (COSTANZA; DALY, 1992). From the evaluation of the LCIA methods (CML 2002, Eco-Indicator 99 Eco-Factors 2006, EDIP 2003 IMPACT2002+ and MEErP 2011) it was found that any of these methods are aligned with the principles of the strong sustainability, once the methods do not comply with criteria (i) and (ii ) concurrently. Thus, it was concluded that once they are not aligned to the principles of strong sustainability, the evaluated LCIA methods are not able to meet the demand of sustainable consumption for information. Its use demonstrates that green consumption policies continue to place the greatest responsibility for the reversal of the environmental degradation on consumers, without changing the systemic structure created by governments, the market and consumers in which hyper-consumption prevails.

Feeding the world's growing population in an environmentally sustainable way is a complex social and engineering challenge. In this thesis, we develop a novel method for assessing the number of people that can be fed sustainably in a particular region for given natural resources and diet (the carrying capacity). A quantitative assessment of carrying capacity provides insight into the food security of the study region as well as the stress on the environmental system; in addition, this methodology can be used to assess the carrying capacity under a variety of policy interventions such as increasing yields, changing diets, or expanding irrigation infrastructure. The carrying capacity assessment uses optimization methods that find the cropping pattern that maximizes population subject to land, water, and diet constraints, considering a range of rainfed and irrigated crops. A data fusion procedure estimates the regional water and land resources needed to assess carrying capacity by combining measurements from diverse hydrologic and agronomic sources, including remote sensing data. Our carrying capacity methodology is illustrated with a case study of food security in China. China has historically been largely food self-sufficient, although its food imports have been increasing since the year 2000. We find that the population in China was well below the country's carrying capacity in the year 2000 given the diet and yields in that year. However, the population's changing diet - especially the growing preference for meat - is exacting a growing toll on land and water resources. We find that under a more recent diet (2013), China is not likely to be food self-sufficient, even with major investments in irrigated agriculture, without substantial increases in crop yield.

Texto completoThe research study investigated the potential impact that organisational capacity assessments can have on the long-term sustainability of non-profit organisations (NPOs). The researcher employed longitudinal research design as the main instrument in the collection of data. Data was collected from four local non-profit organisations in the Cullinan and Bronkhorstspruit areas of South Africa. These organisations were evaluated by means of a questionnaire, which was developed by the researcher. NPOs can only play a pivotal role in community and social services if management, leadership, governance and other elements of organisational capacity are well developed and continuously strengthened. This is critical for attracting local and international donors who provide crucial running costs and relieve national, provincial and local government departments of the financial burden. Currently, the South African government supports NPOs in South Africa. The legislative and registration aspects of NPOs are regulated by the NPO Act (Act 71 of 1997) and the Income Tax Act (Act 58 of 1962). The State of South African Registered NPOs Report 2010/2011 indicated a growth of the number of registrations to have increased by 8.3%. However, in the same financial year a total number of 468 NPOs were deregistered; 98% of these lost their registration due to non-compliance of regulatory requirements. According to the State of South African Registered NPOs Report (2016) the total number of applications received for the financial year was 16 726 (53.7%), however 4 421 (46%) did not meet the requirements of sections 12-13 of the NPO Act, an issue that would definitely affect the existence of non-compliant institutions.

Texto completoBärförmågan hos en förstärkt betongbroIcke-linjär finit elementmodellering av en brottbelastningTillståndsbedömning av en järnvägstrågbro med två spann i Örnsköldsvik förstärkt med stänger av kolfiberarmerade polymerer (CFRP)För att möta de framtida krav som trafiksektorn står inför måste infrastrukturen effektiviseras. Detta kan bland annat uppnås genom att öka trafikledernas kapacitet och livslängd. En del av denna ambition består av att öka lastkapaciteten på järnvägsbroar så att man kan tillåta tyngre godståg att passera.I denna avhandling behandlas tillståndsbedömning av en förstärkt trågbro av armerad betong. Bron hade två spann och var belägen i Örnsköldsvik i Sverige. Ett fullskaleförsök utfördes år 2006 för att studera brons beteende under ökande last tills brott uppstod.Under testet i Örnsköldsvik placerades en stålbalk i mitten av brons ena spann. Brottet frambringades genom att stålbalken drogs neråt med kablar, som hade förankrats i berget med injektion under bron, så att lasten på bron ökade. Medan mekanismen för böjmoment allmänt anses vara väl utredd är olika modeller för bärförmågan för tvärkraft fortfarande föremål för intensiv forskning. För att undvika det icke-intressanta böjbrottet förstärktes kantbalkarna i underkanten med kolfiberarmering (CFRP) i form av stavar som limmades fast i utsågade slitsar (Near Surface Mounted reinforcement, NSM). På det viset styrdes bron till att få skjuvbrott istället för böjbrott.Materialegenskaper för betongen bestämdes med hjälp av utborrade cylindrar och för armeringen med dragprov. Förskjutningar och utböjningar av bron samt töjningar i betong, stål- och kolfiberarmering mättes under pågående test som funktion av den ökande lasten.Bron analyserades på flera sätt för att jämföra verklig bärförmåga med olika normer. Ickelinjära finita element har härvid använts för att utvärdera hur avancerade beräkningsverktyg kan beskriva det verkliga skeendet. Olinjäriteter har beaktats i såväl material som geometri. Den förfinade och kalibrerade FEM -modellen användes för att bedöma den maximala axellasten för tåg som Öviksbron skulle ha kunnat bära. Öviksbron dimensionerades på 1950- talet för axellaster på 20 ton. Beräkningsmodellerna utvecklade i avhandlingen visar att bron i brottstadiet hade kunnat klara axellaster på minst 154 ton utan den utförda förstärkningen och på 215 ton med förstärkningen av broplattan med kolfiberstänger med Af = 100 mm2 c 150 mm. Statistiska medelvärden av laster och materialparametrar har härvid använts i beräkningarna.

Este texto apresenta uma pesquisa que propõe um modelo para calcular a Capacidade de Suporte Hídrica (CSH) de regiões urbanizadas visando o Desenvolvimento Sustentável, principal objetivo da humanidade neste século. Utilizando as Análises Estocásticas de Fronteira como ferramenta de modelagem da capacidade de suporte, juntamente com o auxílio de um sistema de informações geográficas (SIG), foi criado um método para calcular a carga antrópica no meio ambiente, ou seja, calcular a intensidade de solicitação ou estresse sobre os recursos naturais que uma dada região exerce sobre seu meio. Um estudo exploratório foi elaborado para verificar a viabilidade desta proposta e posteriormente um modelo específico foi desenvolvido, utilizando variáveis de natureza hídrica, culminando no cálculo da CSH dos municípios e das Unidades de Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos (UGRHI) do estado de São Paulo. A disponibilidade hídrica superficial dos objetos de estudo, uma das variáveis hídricas que compõe o modelo, foi calculada de forma aproximada utilizando a nova proposta de regionalização de vazões para o estado de São Paulo, onde foi criado o primeiro banco de dados que agrega informações sobre as vazões Q95, Q7,10 e Qm para todos os municípios do estado.Na sequência, foram simulados três cenários abordando possíveis construções do modelo CSH, dois deles consideraram diferentes formas de agrupamento dos parâmetros e o terceiro obteve as classificações de suporte hídrico para as UGRHIs a partir dos resultados dos municípios. O primeiro cenário apontou 5 UGRHIs e 213 municípios em potencial déficit hídrico e o segundo apontou 6 UGRHIs e 180 municípios nesta mesma situação. O terceiro cenário apontou 7 UGRHIs em potencial déficit no suprimento da demanda de água. A partir dos resultados, foram apontadas regiões que estão sob potencial estresse hídrico, ou seja, que não conseguem fornecer de maneira sustentável a quantidade de água requerida por seus habitantes. Essas regiões podem ser apontadas como as mais vulneráveis em períodos de seca. Assim, pretende-se disponibilizar um modelo para auxiliar na questão da preservação do meio ambiente nas escalas local e regional, considerando-se a disponibilidade de água.
This work presents a research project that proposes a model to calculate the Hydric Carrying Capacity (HCC) of urbanized areas aiming at the Sustainable Development, the main goal of humanity in this century. Using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) as a modeling technique for carrying capacity along with geographic information systems (GIS), a method to calculate the anthropic load in the environment was created. In other words, the idea was to calculate the stress intensity on the natural resources that a given region produces on its environment. An exploratory study was carried out to verify the feasibility of this proposal and later a specific model was developed. Using hydric variables, the model resulted in the determination of the HCC for the municipalities and for the Water Resources Management Units (UGRHI) of the State of São Paulo. The surface water availability of the objects of study, which is one of the hydric variables that compose the model, was calculated in an approximate way using the new proposal of regionalization of flows for the state of São Paulo. This resulted in the first database that aggregates information about the flows Q95, Q7,10 and Qm for all municipalities in the state. Three scenarios were simulated, discussing possible constructions of the HCC model. Two of them considered different ways of grouping the parameters and the third one obtained the hydric support classifications for the UGRHIs from the results of the municipalities. The first scenario pointed out 5 UGRHIs and 213 municipalities in potential hydric deficit, while the second pointed to 6 UGRHIs and 180 municipalities in this same situation. The third scenario pointed out 7 UGRHIs in potential deficits in supplying water demand. From these results, regions that are under potential water stress were pointed out, that is, regions that cannot provide the amount of water required by their inhabitants in a sustainable way. These regions can be identified as the most vulnerable in periods of drought. Thus, the idea was to provide a model as an aid for the environment preservation at both local and regional scales, considering the availability of water.

Texto completoPurpose: Against the background of increased tourism in European metropolitan areas (Statista, u.o.), the purpose of the study has been to study Barcelona as an example to contribute a deeper understanding of how tourists and locals perceive each other in urban environments with a high tourist number. As well as investigating how tourism has changed the city's city center and environment (Duran, 2005). Methodology: In this study, a qualitative approach has been applied in the form of semi-structured interviews and the gathering of scientific articles of empirical data. Twelve people interviewed who are connected to Barcelona and this is summarized in empirical section, along with the scientific articles. Conclusions: This study has explored Barcelona as an example to illustrate mass tourism, which is a major problem that can be found in other European cities. Through the collected interviews and the scientific articles, it was demonstrated that Barcelona has had both positive and negative effects of the massive tourism that exists in the city. Based on the collected interview answers, it could be concluded that the social aspect has the most negative impact on local people in the city.

To live or develop sustainably, people must utilize resources sustinably.And the term carrying capacity is just the judgement whether resources wereutilized sustainably or not. i.e The amount of resources consumed must notbe great than that of environment could carry. This study was based on sustainable development indicators to choose onesrelated to water environment carrying capacity that defined as influenced by watr quality, water consumption and land-use. The above chosen indicators werelimitations that evaluate to compare the above chosen indicators. For developingsustainably in any river basin, we should try to promote the capacity to a satisfied level if the real population of a river basin is great than the population equivalent calculated by the above method. In our case study, we only consider the following five aspects: the classifiedwater quality standard of water body, municipal water conumption, industrialwater consumption, the rate of an uptown- commercial area to total area, the rateof an industrial area to total area, the non-forest areas, and the divided numbers of the changeable area. The final results show that the industrial waterconsumption and the rate of an industrial area to total area influence the population equivalent significantly, others are not.

Recently , the international resource utilization strategy is tend to lead to sustainable city , hoping for harmony relationship between human activity and natural environment under global change.IUCN,UNEP and WWF (1991) defined " Sustainable development " as " improving the quality of human life while living the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystems."But city is not a closed system , the carrying capacity will change by trade .Unrestricted trade may relieve lacal ecological constraints , it actually reduces long-term global carrying capacity ( Ress and Wackernagel , 1994).In view of that , this reaserch takes Taipei metropolis as the case study area.After reviewing the related researchs , we find that there are still fewer researchs about sustainable development applying the carrying capacity analysis , and none of that could be found in Taiwan.More over , carrying capacity analysis emphasizes the constrained aspect of environment , failed to consider the appropriated carrying capacity effect upon the system , and couldn''t explain the interaction between natural environment system and human activity system clearly.So , this research evaluate Taipei metropolis carrying capacity by population , land area and urban system the contributes to other system using emergy analysis via ecology and economis .After the analysis as above, there are five conclusions as listed:1. Before thinking about Suatainable development of Taiwan area , the sustainable development of metropolis should be emphasized frist , so called " Think globally , act locally"2.The selfcontained ability of Taipei metropolis is decreasing , on the contrary , the dependent degree is increasing year-by-year. Within the evaluation of N.T. dollars , purchased resources will be substituted for local natural resources.3.The life-support system of Taipei metropolis is still far from the better utility. The growth of urbanized area is beyond increasing local carrying capacity by technicality and the speed of appropriated carrying capacity by trade .4.From the point of view of population , local carrying capacity of Taipei metropolis is discreasing year-by-year. From the point of view of ecological footprint analysis , in 1994 , the ecological footprint of Taipei metropolis is 23 . From the point of Taipei Metropolis contributed to outer system , after 1985 , the degree of contribution is negative.5.The sustainable development of Taipei metropolis should consider omnibearing aspect of every sustainable strategy.rint.

The spirit of sustainable development is not only using the environmental resources efficiently for economic and social development but also protecting the environment from degrading. To implement the spirit, analyzing the carrying capacity of water supply due to present and planning facilities and tolerance of water shortage is important. Also, considering the limits of future carrying capacity can scheme the development of future regional water resources. The Lanyang creek watershed is a unique area of water supply development in Taiwan. It rarely has severe water shortage. Therefore, no reservoir is built in the area. However, to support the long-time developments, it has well-built water supply systems. According to the Lanyang creek Watershed’s special development, a different development of water resource system with more environmental considerations can be put into practice when it confronts with possible water shortage risks. This study analyzes the carrying capacity of water supply systems of Lanyang creek watershed and future water demands. According to the results of sensitivity analysis on future carrying capacity, the envelopes of key factors can be determined to make sure not exceeding acceptable risks of water shortage. Moreover, with the vision of sustainable development, this study discusses the measures dealing with water shortage and brings up the water supply strategies for different shortage situations. The measures include using groundwater as backup supply, using groundwater as normal supply, and constructing water-storing facilities to conduct conjunctive operation of surface water and groundwater. Base on the design case study on the measures of conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater, this study proposes constructing water-storing facilities to increase retaining water and pumping groundwater for normal water supply. This study develops conjunctive operation rule curves, which extends the concept of reservoir operation rule curves to the conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater and allows pumping groundwater during the non-drought periods. The rule curve’s goal is to minimize the total water shortage and groundwater drawdown and the Tabu search and the stepwise method are applied to fine the optimal operational rule curves. According to the results of design case study, the optimized conjunctive operation rule curves can reduced more water shortagethan using surface water only or using groundwater as backup.

Recently, because people of Taiwan emphasizes more and more the qualities and needs of recreational activities, the eco-tourism is becoming the newest market of tourism. The year 2002 which is Eco-Tourism of Taiwan is declared by Executive Yuan. In addition, a series of processes of tourism which includes the areas of selecting, the rules making and the program designing are developed for Eco-tourism. How to control the carrying capacity for eco-tourism is very important, so the development of eco-tourism would depend on the best suitable amount of tourists in this area for eco-tourism. The carrying capacity, which the government cares about, contains several aspects including ecology, sociology and facility. However, how to ascertain those factors for the facility capacity and planning the suitable bearing capacity are two important issues to determine the successful eco-tourism. The main purpose of this research is to discuss the factors of bearing capacity, and explores the key factors which affects the facility capacity of wildlife conservation area and taking the Tainan Syh-Tsao Wildlife Conservation Area as experiment object. By using the literature analysis and the analysis for regional characters, this research selects three factors which could affect the carrying capacity for Tainan Syh-Tsao Wildlife Conservation Area mostly. Three factors, which include facility capacity in ecological, bearing capacity in sociology and bearing capacity in facility, have 26 detailed items. This research adopts the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to affirm the weight and the priority of these factors. The result from the first level of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) indicates the bearing capacity in ecology is most emphasized by scholars among three factors. The top ten items among 26 detailed items from the second level of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) are the usage of mobile ferry, heterogeneity, habitat reduce, the press toward soil from transportation, wasted gas from transportation, the usage of immobile ferry, the tramp at soil from tourists and the tramp at plant from tourists, and the notation for environment protection from resident and beautiful scenery view. Furthermore, this research tries to enhance the function and convenience of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) by using the computer software, MATLAB. The result from this research could be useful to develop eco-tourism by providing the factors of bearing capacity of eco-tourism to Tainan Syh-Tsao Wildlife Conservation Area in Tainan. Besides, this pattern for the factors of the bearing capacity toward eco-tourism, which is build in this research, could be the reference for bearing capacity in eco-tourism to expand similar area, the index to build the bearing capacity, and the reference to plan the program in wildlife conservation.

Texto completoCoastal resources are an important component for recreational activities. With increasing tourism activities in the world, beaches in several parts of the world are getting each time much crowded with the resulting threats to local ecosystems and local people, what calls for a much appropriate resource management practices. This project attempted to outline and describe the carrying capacity process as a support tool for coastal management. This research aimed to determine the recreational carrying capacity of Faro Beach (Portugal) and Tofo Beach (Mozambique), based on the combination of the tourist carrying capacity assessment framework developed by Cifuentes (1992) and the PAOT approach (Manning, 2002) and supported by field surveys, tourist counts, on-site biophysical characteristics and questionnaires. Results showed that physico-ecological carrying capacity should be between 1,491 and 2,982 visits/day (at Faro Beach) and between 5,301 and 10,601 visits/day (at Tofo Beach) with impact acceptability curves being 305 and 608 tourists (for local people and tourists respectively, at Faro Beach), and 358 and 714 (for local people and tourists respectively, at Tofo Beach). These results suggest that the physico-ecological carrying can be applied for ecosystem management, whilst the socio-cultural carrying capacity should be addressed when management objectives are tourists and beach users. Importantly it is necessary to address the highest level of support showed to prospective managerial options.

Texto completoSyftet med denna uppsats är att studera på vilket sätt politikerna i Barcelona arbetar för en Hållbar Turismutveckling. Det övergripande målet är att definiera huvudproblemen i staden, orsakade av turism samt på vilket sätt staden arbetar för att finna långsiktiga, hållbara lösningar. Metoden utgörs av en kvalitativ analys av viktiga styrdokument vid Barcelona Kommun, speciellt fokus läggs på Barcelona Strategic Tourism Plan 2020. Resultatet visar att de största problemen är överexploatering i Ciutat Vella, samt störningar och sociala motsättningar orsakade av privatuthyrda bostäder, samt brist på plats i det offentliga rummet för lokalbefolkningen i ovan nämnt område. Staden arbetar tillsammans med lokalbefolkningen, direkta och indirekta intressenter för att finna hållbara lösningar genom att sammanställa en strategisk handlingsplan. Utöver att finna lösningar på turistsituationen är ett av de övergripande målen att förbättra levnadsvillkoren för invånarna i staden. En av lösningarna på överexploateringen är att bredda destinationen Barcelonas varumärke för att på så sätt finna nya, hållbara kundsegment. Den andra lösningen består huvudsakligen av Visitor-Management med syfte att styra besökare från överexploaterade områden till de mindre hårt belastade. För att komma till rätta med uthyrningsproblematiken har nya regler och kontroller införts.

Texto completoIntroduction According (UNAIDS/WHO, 2011a) globally, 34.0 million [31.4 million–35.9 million] people were living with HIV at the end of 2011 out of which 80% live in Sub Saharan Africa. In absolute terms, the burden of HIV increased by 354% between 1990 and 2006 (Ortblad et al, 2010). The prevalence of HIV in Zambia stands at 14.3% in the age group 15 to 49 years. Having realized that HIV/AIDS is no longer a health issue alone Zambia embarked on the multisectoral response initiative which allows many stakeholders to play their role. In order to coordinate this multiplicity of stakeholders the government of Zambia created the National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Council (NAC) with the core mandate to coordinate the national HIV/AIDS response agenda. In turn, the NAC created the Provincial (PATF) and District AIDS Task Forces (DATF) as decentralized structures through which to coordinate the response at provincial and district levels respectively. However, DAFT is not coordinating the response to HIV/AIDS epidemic effectively but the reason for the ineffective coordination has not yet been described. Aim The aim of the study is to explore factors which impact on the capacity of Lusaka DATF to coordinate an effective and sustainable local HIV/AIDS response. Methods A descriptive qualitative research was undertaken using purposive sampling methods. Data collection methods included a Document Review, Key Informant Interviews using semi structured interview guides, Focus Group Discussions and Field Notes. Results The study has found that the following factors promote effective coordination of DATF stakeholders and their activities at local level: recognition of the DATF by stakeholders as a formal structure which is enshrined within the institutional framework of the government; joint planning and resource mobilisation for activities by stakeholders particularly around national commemoration days such as World AIDS Day and the National VCT day and holding of stakeholder forum meetings to share experiences and lessons learnt. The study has also established that the following factors are responsible for preventing the DATF from coordinating effectively include: DATF does not exist as a legal entity enshrined in any Act of Parliament No. 10 of 2002 which created the NAC; there are multiple reporting channels for local stakeholders instead of having only one reporting framework through the DFATF; inadequate stakeholder forums; lack of memoranda of understanding between the DATF and stakeholders; weak technical capacity of the DACA due to factors such as lack of a training programme; inadequate joint planning and resource mobilisation plans and efforts; poor understanding and different interpretations of the of the concept of coordination by different stakeholders; weak feedback mechanisms from the DATF secretariat to stakeholders; and multiplicity of DATF guidelines by different partners which have at times contradicted each other. Poor political, civic and technical leadership engagement has been identified as key inhibiting factors.
