This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro que me complace presentar es el resultado de la investigación "Medio ambiente y ordenación del territorio" que el Grupo de Investigación en Derecho del Medio Ambiente de la Universidad Externado de Colombia proyectó con el objetivo de identificar y estudiar los conceptos de planificación y plan, así como algunos ejercicios de ordenación del territorio y de planificación ambiental desarrollados en España y en Colombia, con el fin de identificar el marco jurídico y las políticas públicas que se han desarrollado en la materia, y verificar sus logros y dificultades. Antes de describir el contenido y la estructura del documento partimos por indicar que desde el punto de vista terminológico ordenar implica "Colocar algo o a alguien de acuerdo con un plan o de modo conveniente”, "Encaminar y dirigir algo a un fin" (DRAE, 2014). Entendemos que si nos referimos a la ordenación hablamos de un proceso por medio del cual se ordenan las cosas o los elementos de manera tal que, de llevarse a cabo las etapas identificadas en un plan, se logra el fin que previamente se ha proyectado y delimitado. Ahora bien, siendo el territorio la base sobre la cual se desarrollan múltiples actividades humanas que se ejercen conforme a las delimitaciones determinadas por el ordenamiento jurídico sobre el que se construye el Estado social de derecho, es necesario que además de las herramientas definidas en el marco normativo se construyan y desarrollen instrumentos de planificación y ordenamiento del territorio que le permitan al Estado prescribir una serie de procedimientos que lo impulsen a alcanzar sus objetivos sustanciales.
Download or read book Directrices de gesti n ambiental local para los conflictos socio ambientales presentes en los barrios Portal del Norte y Villa Nueva de la comuna diez en la ciudad de Pasto Nari o written by Ximena Andrea Ortega Moreno and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hablar de conflicto es referirse a una situación en la que los actores sociales (instituciones, academia, comunidad y sector productivo), se encuentran en oposición conciente con otros actores, debido a que persiguen objetivos contrarios, lo que los coloca en condiciones de enfrentamiento o confrontación. Por su parte, teniendo en cuenta que el término “ambiental” se refiere a todo proceso que expresa una relación entre el hombre y su entorno, se define el conflicto socio-ambiental como aquel que se produce en el proceso humano de apropiación y transformación de la naturaleza.1 Para América Latina la década del 90 se convierte en el punto de partida para la agudización de los principales conflictos ambientales, porque además de crecer en número, estos conflictos lo hacen en intensidad. En 1992 con la conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo (CNUMAD), se revaloró la importancia de las personas y la calidad de su vida sobre los procesos de desarrollo económico. También se definió la prevención y responsabilidad de los gobiernos sobre estos temas, al grado que su difusión se extendió a las estructuras jurídicas, político-institucionales y de comportamientos sociales amplios, sensibilizándolos sobre los problemas ambientales. A partir de lo anterior es conveniente para esta investigación involucrar el concepto de gestión ambiental local como el manejo participativo de los conflictos socio-ambientales de una región determinada, por parte de los diversos actores sociales; mediante el uso selectivo y combinado de herramientas pertinentes, para lograr el funcionamiento adecuado del ambiente y el mejoramiento de las condiciones de calidad de vida de la población dentro de un marco de sostenibilidad. El gestor ambiental local desempeña el papel de facilitador en la construcción de alternativas de solución para los conflictos socio-ambientales presentes en una determinada comunidad. Para este fin se tiene en cuenta los intereses...
Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

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 The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Urban and Regional Futures written by Robert C. Brears and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 2334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While urban settlements are the drivers of the global economy and centres of learning, culture, and innovation and nations rely on competitive dynamic regions for their economic, social, and environmental objectives, urban centres and regions face a myriad of challenges that impact the ways in which people live and work, create wealth, and interact and connect with places. Rapid urbanisation is resulting in urban sprawl, rising emissions, urban poverty and high unemployment rates, housing affordability issues, lack of urban investment, low urban financial and governance capacities, rising inequality and urban crimes, environmental degradation, increasing vulnerability to natural disasters and so forth. At the regional level, low employment, low wage growth, scarce financial resources, climate change, waste and pollution, and rising urban peri-urban competition etc. are impacting the ability of regions to meet socio-economic development goals while protecting biodiversity. The response to these challenges has typically been the application of inadequate or piecemeal solutions, often as a result of fragmented decision-making and competing priorities, with numerous economic, environmental, and social consequences. In response, there is a growing movement towards viewing cities and regions as complex and sociotechnical in nature with people and communities interacting with one another and with objects, such as roads, buildings, transport links etc., within a range of urban and regional settings or contexts. This comprehensive MRW will provide readers with expert interdisciplinary knowledge on how urban centres and regions in locations of varying climates, lifestyles, income levels, and stages development are creating synergies and reducing trade-offs in the development of resilient, resource-efficient, environmentally friendly, liveable, socially equitable, integrated, and technology-enabled centres and regions.
Download or read book Defying Ocean s End written by Linda Glover and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If humankind were given a mandate to do everything in our power to undermine the earth's functioning, we could hardly do a better job than we have in the past thirty years on the world's oceans, both by what we are putting into it-millions of tons of trash and toxic materials-and by what we are taking out of it-millions of tons of wildlife. Yet only recently have we begun to understand the scale of those impacts. Defying Ocean's End is the result of an unprecedented effort among the world's largest environmental organizations, scientists, the business community, media, and international governments to address these marine issues. In June 2003, in the culmination of a year-long effort, they met specifically to develop a comprehensive and achievable agenda to reverse the decline in health of the world's oceans. As conservation organizations begin to expand their focus from land issues to include a major focus on preservation of the sea, it is increasingly apparent that we have to approach marine conservation differently and at much larger scale than we have to date. What's also clear is the magnitude and immediacy of the growing ocean concerns are such that no one organization can handle the job alone. Defying Ocean's End is a bold step in bringing the resources needed to bear on this vast problem before it is too late. It offers a broad strategy, a practical plan with priorities and costs, aimed at mobilizing the forces needed to bring about a "sea change" of favorable attitudes, actions, and outcomes for the oceans-and for all of us.

Download or read book Nomadic Subjects written by Rosi Braidotti and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.
