Download or read book Settlement Systems in Sparsely Populated Regions written by Richard E. Lonsdale and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Settlement Systems in Sparsely Populated Regions: The United States and Australia provides an understanding of the special difficulties encountered by those living in sparselands and the issues facing government policy makers. This book discusses the regional aspects of human settlement as well as the regional differences in human welfare. Organized into 18 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the special set of characteristics and problems of sparsely populated regions. This text then describes the rapid changes affecting lightly populated areas. Other chapters consider the collective accessibility of any location in connection to the total national population as represented by maps of population potential. This book describes as well the more self-sufficient nucleated rural settlement of the far outback. The final chapter deals with the six general observations concerning sparsely populated lands thought to have applicability beyond just the United States and Australia. This book is a valuable resource for government policy makers.

Book excerpt: "This publication presents a methodology for participative informal settlement upgrading with the support of information technology, the result of research and development activities carried out by UNCHS (Habitat) and a group of partners. Examining a number of experiences in the field, and through direct support to specific tool development activities, Habitat aims to consolidate a wealth of practical and field experiences into a methodological framework. The methodology refers to the project preparation phase, including community involvement protocols, and the information management system related to it. This methodology should be seen as a practical reference framework for programme managers and officials involved in designing and managing settlement upgrading projects and should assist policy makers and external support agencies in policy formulation and resource allocation. It will also provide a technical background to the Global Campaigns for Secure Tenure and for Good Urban Governance that UNCHS (Habitat) is launching in the year 2000"--p. 3.

Download or read book Distributed Ledger Technology Experiments in Payments and Settlements written by Mr.Ghiath Shabsigh and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-06-24 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major transformations in payment and settlements have occurred in generations. The first generation was paper-based. Delivery times for payment instruments took several days domestically and weeks internationally. The second generation involved computerization with batch processing. Links between payment systems were made through manual or file-based interfaces. The change-over period between technologies was long and still some paper-based instruments like checks and cash remain in use. The third generation, which has been emerging, involves electronic and mobile payment schemes that enable integrated, immediate, and end-to-end payment and settlement transfers. For example, real-time gross settlement systems have been available in almost all countries. DLT has been viewed as a potential platform for the next generation of payment systems, enhancing the integration and the reconciliation of settlement accounts and their ledgers. So far, experiments with DLT experimentations point to the potential for financial infrastructures to move towards real-time settlement, flatter structures, continuous operations, and global reach. Testing in large-value payments and securities settlement systems have partly demonstrated the technical feasibility of DLT for this new environment. The projects examined analyzed issues associated with operational capacity, resiliency, liquidity savings, settlement finality, and privacy. DLT-based solutions can also facilitate delivery versus payment of securities, payment versus payment of foreign exchange transactions, and efficient cross-border payments.

Download or read book Mapping Archaeological Landscapes from Space written by Douglas C Comer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping Archaeological Landscapes from Space offers a concise overview of air and spaceborne imagery and related geospatial technologies tailored to the needs of archaeologists. Leading experts including scientists involved in NASA’s Space Archaeology program provide technical introductions to five sections: 1) Historic Air and Spaceborne Imagery 2) Multispectral and Hyperspectral Imagery 3) Synthetic Aperture Radar 4) Lidar 5) Archaeological Site Detection and Modeling Each of these five sections includes two or more case study applications that have enriched understanding of archaeological landscapes in regions including the Near East, East Asia, Europe, Meso- and North America. Targeted to the needs of researchers and heritage managers as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students, this volume conveys a basic technological sense of what is currently possible and, it is hoped, will inspire new pioneering applications. Particular attention is paid to the tandem goals of research (understanding) and archaeological heritage management (preserving) the ancient past. The technologies and applications presented can be used to characterize environments, detect archaeological sites, model sites and settlement patterns and, more generally, reveal the dialectic landscape-scale dynamics among ancient peoples and their social and environmental surroundings. In light of contemporary economic development and resultant damage to and destruction of archaeological sites and landscapes, applications of air and spaceborne technologies in archaeology are of wide utility and promoting understanding of them is a particularly appropriate goal at the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention.​

Download or read book The Feasibility of a Internet based Information Mapping and Exchange System for Granular Resource Management in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region written by Ward E. Kilby and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the findings and recommendations of a study to 'investigate the feasibility and requirements of developing an Internet-based information mapping and exchange system that would be used for information sharing and consultation regarding the development of a regional granular resources management plan for the Inuvialuit Settlement Region'. The research for this study was performed in conjunction with a similar study that investigated 'the feasibility and requirements of developing an Internet-based information system that would be used to disseminate oil and gas tenure and related data, covering the Beaufort Sea and Mackenzie Delta areas'. The two projects cover very similar regions, have similar audiences and would utilize many of the same data sets. The major task of the investigation was a review of existing data, data providers, infrastructure and potential users through interviews and site visitations. In excess of 45 people were interviewed in person on location in Ottawa, Calgary, Yellowknife and Inuvik. The interviews confirmed the type and location of existing information. They determined that in virtually all cases this information would be available to this proposed project. There was concern that the proposed project would be just another web site duplicating the efforts of the already numerous sites delivering data and maps pertaining to the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. The interviews identified a variety of potential uses for the system beyond the primary function of providing support for the development of the Granular Management Plan for the ISR. Investigation of the Internet infrastructure shows that all locations except Tuktoyaktuk and some other outlying settlements will have at least ADSL service within the next month or so. The outlying settlement regions will be restricted to dial- up Internet access for the foreseeable future. In general this will mean Internet access speeds of between 14,400 and 28,800 baud. An Internet-centric map and data distribution system is recommended that will provide the required support for the granular resource management exercise plus provide a valuable framework for the integration of the existing dispersed and diverse information required for land use planning tasks in the ISR. The framework is based on commercial off the shelf software and standard, easily maintained hardware. The system is centered on the MapGuide web mapping software and ColdFusion web-development and database access and reporting software. Both software packages have been in use on the Internet for more than 7 years, are supported by major corporations and have excellent training and user support programs. The proposed software and system design will provide the functionality required to allow authorized users to construct maps, input and edit map data and have access to all the system's pooled information from anywhere on the Internet. General users will be able to view the constructed maps over low bandwidth Internet connections (based on well designed maps) and perform common GIS functions through a standard web browser. An add-on viewer will be required for this added functionality or simple map viewing will be an option for casual viewers with no map viewer. ... System set-up, data loading, granular management tool development and initial 6 months of operation should be accomplished within a $100,000 budget. The system should be operational within 3 months of project initiation. -- ASTIS (online) database.

Book excerpt: This set of papers by European and North American archaeologists explore the interface between new spatial technologies and areas of theoretical concern in spatial archaeology. Differing aspects of landscape, such as vision, perception and movement, are explored through a series of case studies that focus on how spatial technologies can influence archaeological interpretation and to what extent these new technologies can be manipulated to take us beyond 2-dimensional maps. Individual site-based analyses and new applications of predictive modelling are also presented and assessed together with the wider questions of spatial technologies within heritage management.
