Book excerpt: l presente documento expone los resultados obtenidos por el Instituto Sinchi relacionados con el diseño de la línea base para la Amazonia colombiana, considerando aspectos teóricos, conceptuales y metodológicos para el diseño de los indicadores ambientales y el aplicativo informativo para el manejo de la información. En la primera parte se presentan los conceptos y definiciones sobre el enfoque ecosistémico, desarrollo sostenible y la línea base dentro de la realidad amazónica colombiana, los cuales, son el punto de partida para el diseño de los indicadores ambientales para la región. Los indicadores propuestos por el Instituto SINCHI fueron seleccionados con base en su relevancia actual, su factibilidad de medición, el compromiso institucional para su mantenimiento en el tiempo y principalmente, que permitan hacer seguimiento al estado de los recursos naturales y el ambiente en la región. En la segunda parte se desarrolla la propuesta metodológica para el diseño de los indicadores, la cual está conformada por una síntesis de los procesos realizados, una descripción de los tipos de indicadores, la propuesta de unidades espaciales de referencia para el manejo de la información de cada indicador, una breve contextualización de los espacios geográficos en los cuales se aplican los indicadores y la propuesta de indicadores diseñados cada uno con su respectiva hoja metodológica. En la ultima parte se exponen los aspectos que se tendrán en cuenta para el manejo de la información, mediante lineamientos conceptuales y metodológicos de un sistema de monitoreo de los indicadores diseñados. Para esto se ha diseñado un sistema de información geográfica (SIG), que integra una aplicación de base de datos, con el cual se fortalecerán los procesos de análisis, síntesis y modelamiento de la información ambiental. De esta forma se espera dar soporte a la formulación de la política ambiental para la región y contribuir al manejo de los recursos naturales con criterios de sostenibilidad. Estas herramientas de análisis también facilitarán la integración de información ambiental de la Amazonia al Sistema de Información Ambiental para Colombia SIAC.

This book was released on 2007-06-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra se presenta en diez capítulos, los primeros cinco hacen referencia a los marcos institucional, jurídico, teórico, regional y conceptual, respectivamente. Se destaca de lo institucional,capitulo 1, todos los avances que existen sobre el tema de GIA desde lo global, hasta lo regional de Amazonia colombiana, pasando por el ámbito nacional; en lo jurídico, capitulo 2, se evidencian los diferentes instrumentos que se tienen como soporte para el desarrollo de los procesos de gestión de información ambiental; en lo teórico, contenido en el capitulo 3, se relacionan las aproximaciones sistémica y ecosistemita como soporte teórico del SIAT-AC, y también se hace una aproximación a la definición del desarrollo sostenible, la planificación del territorio y la gestión ambiental, entendiendo que son aspectos centrales que se estarán apoyando con este proceso del SIAT-AC. En el capitulo 5 se trata en detalle la conceptualización del modelo del sistema, y se establecen la definición, misión, visión, objetivos, principios, marco funcional, y análisis de la cadena de valor de la información del sistema bajo el enfoque del desarrollo sostenible. Lo relacionado con el alcance del SIAT-AC, se presenta en el numeral 5.9, entre otras cosas se describen los principales problemas identificados en la región relacionados con la GIA, se presentan y analizan las preguntas básicas, sobre las condiciones ambientales regionales, para las cuales se propone que el sistema apoye la obtención de sus respuestas, se hace una aproximación a los requerimientos de datos e información, los insumos de información, las herramientas necesarias para el sistema asociándolas a los actores y roles de estos, y se propone una priorización de fases para desarrollarlas; de igual manera se exponen aspectos como los beneficios que se obtendrán con el sistema funcionando, o los riesgos que puede tener su desarrollo, destacando los factores críticos de éxito y los requerimientos. La propuesta de modelo organizacional del SIAT-AC como red de información, se presenta en el capitulo6, se hace énfasis en los aspectos que se deben tener en cuenta para que la red interinstitucional regional que soporte el diseño, desarrollo y operación del sistema tenga éxito. Finalmente los capítulos 7 y 8, hacen referencia al planteamiento técnico, el primero, y al plan estratégico, el segundo. Con relación a lo técnico se plantean los principios de diseño, la arquitectura lógica y física. En lo que tiene que ver con el plan estratégico se hace énfasis en tres aspectos: desarrollo, implementación y sostenibilidad del proceso SIAT-AC.

Download or read book Tropical Stream Ecology written by David Dudgeon and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-05-04 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical Stream Ecology describes the main features of tropical streams and their ecology. It covers the major physico-chemical features, important processes such as primary production and organic-matter transformation, as well as the main groups of consumers: invertebrates, fishes and other vertebrates. Information on concepts and paradigms developed in north-temperate latitudes and how they do not match the reality of ecosystems further south is expertly addressed. The pressing matter of conservation of tropical streams and their biodiversity is included in almost every chapter, with a final chapter providing a synthesis on conservation issues. For the first time, Tropical Stream Ecology places an important emphasis on viewing research carried out in contributions from international literature. First synthetic account of the ecology of all types of tropical streams Covers all of the major tropical regions Detailed consideration of possible fundamental differences between tropical and temperate stream ecosystems Threats faced by tropical stream ecosystems and possible conservation actions Descriptions and synstheses life-histories and breeding patterns of major aquatic consumers (fishes, invertebrates)

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book Biodeterioration 7 written by D. R. Houghton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the magnificent response to the call for papers for the 7th International Biodeterioration Symposium held at Cambridge, UK, some difficulties have been experienced in the editing of these proceedings. The numbers of papers submitted exceeded expectation and because of this it has been necessary to accommodate those not actually in the proceedings into the International Biodeterioration journal. A small number of papers were not suitable for publication and were therefore eliminated. Many authors disregarded the guidelines laid down for the length of submitted papers. However, every attempt has been made to accommodate the maximum number of contributions in the proceedings. The original selection included those which most nearly conformed to the length requirement. Even so this has meant, in many cases, cutting down the text, eliminating tables and/or illustrations and pruning the reference list. When references have been trimmed a note has been included to the effect that an extended list may be obtained from the author/senior author. Where it was not possible to carry out these procedures without seriously altering the text and the import of the paper they have been included amongst those to be published in the journal International Biodeterioration. The exceptions to the procedures outlined above are the invited review papers which have been presented in full. Happily, the authors have been conscientious in keeping to the guidelines laid down for these contributions.
