Download or read book Environment and Culture written by Irwin Altman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following upon the first two volumes in this series, which dealt with a broad spectrum of topics in the environment and behavior field, ranging from theoretical to applied, and including disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and professionally oriented approaches, we have chosen to devote sub sequent volumes to more specifically defined topics. Thus, Volume Three dealt with Children and the Environment, seen from the combined perspective of researchers in environmental and developmental psy chology. The present volume has a similarly topical coverage, dealing with the complex set of relationships between culture and the physical environment. It is broad and necessarily eclectic with respect to content, theory, methodology, and epistemological stance, and the contributors to it represent a wide variety of fields and disciplines, including psy chology, geography, anthropology, economics, and environmental de sign. We were fortunate to enlist the collaboration of Amos Rapoport in the organization and editing of this volume, as he brings to this task a particularly pertinent perspective that combines anthropology and ar chitecture. Volume Five of the series, presently in preparation, will cover the subject of behavioral science aspects of transportation. Irwin Altman Joachim F.

Download or read book cosyst mes forestiers des Cara bes written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2009 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grâce à la grande diversité des organisations biologiques, notamment des bio-systèmes forestiers, la Caraïbe fait partie des 34 Hotspots actuels de la biosphère. C'est une aire géographique extraordinaire pour l'évolution du vivant, car les différents canevas régionaux - géomorphologiques, pédologiques, climatiques - associés aux îles, à la bordure continentale et à l'isthme ont induit une pluralité de biotopes. Ce qui a conditionné autant de communautés floristiques et faunistiques, de physionomies et de paysages. Tous les écosystèmes de l'espace intertropical y sont représentés. Néanmoins, les sociétés successives depuis la découverte des Amériques, tout en utilisant les ressources offertes par les écosystèmes du Nouveau Monde, les ont architecturés et les paysages notamment végétaux du présent sont des témoins pertinents de ce processus. L'érosion biologique régulière, consubstantielle à la croissance des productions humaines, reste, encore aujourd'hui, un danger pour le développement de ces territoires : bien des aspects floristiques et faunistiques sont encore inconnus. En quelque sorte, dans cette partie du monde la recherche est " insaturée ". Le colloque de décembre 2005 sur les " Écosystèmes forestiers des Caraïbes " organisé par le Conseil Général de la Martinique et piloté scientifiquement par l'Université des Antilles et de la Guyane (sous la direction de Philippe Joseph), a mis en relief la problématique de la biodiversité des terres qui enserrent la mer des Caraïbes. Et, plus largement, celle de la planète tout entière confrontée au changement climatique et à ses conséquences à long terme sur les milieux anthropisés, singulièrement les modifications des frontières écosystémiques et les espèces envahissantes. La mise en perspective des données obtenues par les chercheurs de champs disciplinaires variés, qui relèvent des sciences exactes, humaines, juridiques et économiques, a fourni une somme importante de connaissances et de méthodes. Celles-ci permettent d'éclairer la décision publique, en particulier pour améliorer les outils de gestion et de planification des forêts caribéennes. Par cette initiative, le Conseil Général de la Martinique, à l'instar de son président, a indiqué la voie qui devrait permettre, à long terme, une conservation et une valorisation de toutes les diversités biologiques. Au regard des modifications climatiques futures, en effet, le potentiel évolutif des bio-systèmes doit être, par tous les moyens, préservé.
