The growth is impending concern, face to ‹ecology› musts of over-depletion/pollution. The technology-driven key is in ‹robot age› implements, by ‹to de-materialise› and ‹to re-materialise› goals. The paper draws on topics outlined in recent investigation of the authors, with the guess that progress is artificial man conquest, whose consistency cooks up transcendental (God benignity) or immanent...

Despite the close affinity between collective memory and urban structures as the relationship between what is hidden and what is visible; rapid changes throughout the city have caused a disconnection between integrated memories and landscape cohesion. As a context for memories, the historical urban landscape proves to be valuable. The present research seeks to identify elements and signs in urb...

Terraced landscapes were for centuries forms of sustainable and multifunctional land management, results a long intimate relationship between peoples their environment. They demonstrated rich cultural diversity agrobiodiversity through land-use systems. These productive in many cases expressions pre-industrial circular model rural development, where no resource was wasted. However, not all terr...

The compensation for undesirable outputs resulting from operational activities requires measurement applications and control systems to reduce material and energy consumption and to protect the indispensable natural resources as well. In general environmental management applies the Ecocontrolling system to ensure its tasks. The controlling tasks of strategic, tactical and operative management h...

The latter half of the twentieth century has seen a dramatic change in the way modern Australian suburbs develop. In as little as 40 years, the Australian home has transformed from modest cottages to conspicuous palatial rendered houses often referred to as McMansions. The impact of this shift has resulted in a reconfiguration of the suburban landscape, as open spaces on blocks of land are no l...

Against the background of economic transformation and urban renewal, the protection and sustainable development of urban industrial landscapes has become an important practical issue, and how to maintain the unique local culture of these landscapes is key to solving the problem. By integrating the concept of “layer” and regarding the landscape as text, this paper will investigate the representa...

Ecologic niche modeling has allowed numerous advances in understanding the geographic ecology of species, including distributional predictions, distributional change and invasion, and assessment of ecologic differences. We used this tool to characterize ecologic differentiation of Triatoma brasiliensis populations, the most important Chagas' disease vector in northeastern Brazil. The species' e...

T his chapter guides development practitioners in fostering communication and learning to shape innovation systems for managing agriculture and natural resources across landscape systems and to jointly achieve sustainable production, ecosystem/biodiversity, and rural livelihood goals. This ecoagriculture landscape perspective accounts for the physical and biological features of an area together...
