Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planned development has led to relatively rapid changes in rural Turkey. Based on field research in Turkey, this report examines and describes some of the changes which occurred when an unplanned disruptive natural force confronted a rural area of a developing country. Detailed relative change over a three-year period between a village damaged by the 1970 Gediz earthquake and an undamaged village in the same region is analyzed, followed by an interpretation of surrogates of change from a group of thirty-four earthquake damaged villages and thirteen undamaged 'control' villages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and prac titioners concerned with the principles and applications of enviromental manage ment. Each volume is a thorough treatmt'nt of a specific topic of importance for proper management practices. A fundamental objective of these books is to help the reader discern and implement man's stewardship of our environment and the world's renewable resources. For we must act to bring harmony to it, and nurture an environment that is both stable and productive. These objectives have often eluded us because the pursuit of other individual and societal goals has diverted us from a course of living in balance with the environment. At times, therefore, the environmental manager may have to exert restrictive control, which is usually best applied to man, not nature. Attempts to alter or harness nature have often failed or backfired, as exemplified by the results or imprudent use of herbicides, fertilizers, water, and other agents. Each book in this series will shed light on the fundamental and applied aspects of environmental management. It is hoped that each will help solve a practical and serious environmental problem.
