Download or read book World Development Report 2009 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-11-04 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising densities of human settlements, migration and transport to reduce distances to market, and specialization and trade facilitated by fewer international divisions are central to economic development. The transformations along these three dimensions density, distance, and division are most noticeable in North America, Western Europe, and Japan, but countries in Asia and Eastern Europe are changing in ways similar in scope and speed. 'World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography' concludes that these spatial transformations are essential, and should be encouraged. The conclusion is not without controversy. Slum-dwellers now number a billion, but the rush to cities continues. Globalization is believed to benefit many, but not the billion people living in lagging areas of developing nations. High poverty and mortality persist among the world's 'bottom billion', while others grow wealthier and live longer lives. Concern for these three billion often comes with the prescription that growth must be made spatially balanced. The WDR has a different message: economic growth is seldom balanced, and efforts to spread it out prematurely will jeopardize progress. The Report: documents how production becomes more concentrated spatially as economies grow. proposes economic integration as the principle for promoting successful spatial transformations. revisits the debates on urbanization, territorial development, and regional integration and shows how today's developers can reshape economic geography.

Download or read book Semantic and Lexical Universals written by Cliff Goddard and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This set of papers represents a unique collection; it is the first attempt ever to empirically test a hypothetical set of semantic and lexical universals across a number of genetically and typologically diverse languages. In fact the word 'collection' is not fully appropriate in this case, since the papers report research undertaken specifically for the present volume, and shaped by the same guidelines. They constitute parallel and strictly comparable answers to the same set of questions, coordinated effort with a common aim, and a common methodology.The goal of identifying the universal human concepts found in all languages, is of fundamental importance, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view, since these concepts provide the basis of the psychic unity of mankind, underlying the clearly visible diversity of human cultures. They also allow us to better understand that diversity itself, because they provide a common measure, without which no precise and meaningful comparisons are possible at all. A set of truly universal (or even near-universal) concepts can provide us with an invaluable tool for interpreting, and explaining all the culture-specific meanings encoded in the language-and-culture systems of the world. It can also provide us with a tool for explaining meanings across cultures in education, business, trade, international relations, and so on.The book contains 13 chapters on individual languages including Japanese (by Masayuki Onishi), Chinese (by Hilary Chappel), Thai (by Anthony Diller), Ewe (Africa, by Felix Ameka), Miskitu languages of South America (by Kenneth Hall), Australian Aboriginal languages Aranda, Yankunytjatjara and Kayardild (by Jean Harkins & David Wilkins, Cliff Goddard, and Nicholas Evans), the Austronesian languages Samoan, Longgu, Acehnese and Mangap-Mbula (by Ulrike Mosel, Deborah Hill, Mark Durie and Robert Bugenhagen), the Papuan language Kalam (by Andrew Pawley), and, last but not least French (by Bert Peters).In addition to the chapters on individual languages the book includes three theoretical chapters; Semantic theory and semantic universals (by Goddard), Introducing lexical primitives (by Goddard and Wierzbicka), and Semantic primitives across languages: a critical review (by Wierzbicka).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanko (Croatian Historical Institute) identifies a resurgence of academic interest in medieval miracle accounts as rich sources of theological, historical, and anthropological insight. Here he analyzes the miracle collections promoting the canonization of a 15th- century Observant Franciscan preacher--thoroughly studying widely scattered manuscripts (Naples, Rome, Venice, Paris) to reconstruct the accounts and provide insight into everyday life, hardships, illnesses, hopes, dreams, and anxieties during the late medieval and early modern period.

Download or read book Les collectivit s territoriales et le tourisme written by Frédéric Bouin and published by Le Moniteur Editions. This book was released on 2007 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le tourisme est un secteur économique particulièrement complexe. D'une part, plusieurs branches du droit public et du droit privé (droit du tourisme, droit de l'urbanisme, finances publiques, droit de la concurrence, droit de la consommation, droit de l'environnement, droit du transport...) l'encadrent aujourd'hui, et, d'autre part, les évolutions récentes liées à l'apparition du tourisme durable, au phénomène du low cost... confrontent les collectivités territoriales, également les structures intercommunales, au nouvel enjeu d'un développement touristique à l'intérieur duquel les touristes disposent d'une offre considérable et internationale en matière de destinations et d'activités. Si les collectivités territoriales ont pleinement compris les bénéfices qu'elles pouvaient espérer d'une fréquentation accrue de leur territoire, leurs responsables politiques sont confrontés aux effets souvent difficiles à gérer d'une arrivée subie plutôt qu'organisée des touristes aux responsabilités qui en découlent. Les possibilités offertes aux décideurs locaux d'un développement harmonieux du tourisme reposent sur l'analyse des éléments juridiques nationaux et internationaux propres à cette activité si particulière. C'est la réponse descriptive, analytique et pédagogique que donne cet ouvrage destiné aux élus, aux responsables administratifs ou techniques des collectivités territoriales, aux enseignants universitaires ou d'écoles de commerce.

Download or read book Politiques publiques d am nagement touristique written by Vincent Vlès and published by Presses Univ de Bordeaux. This book was released on 2006 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis les trente glorieuses, le développement touristique a suivi un modèle de croissance forte reposant sur la valorisation du foncier par l'immobilier de loisirs. Ce paradigme a produit des stations et des équipements dont l'offre est souvent banale et standardisée, mal intégrée aux cultures et traditions locales. Face à ces aménagements mal contrôlés par les sociétés locales, une revendication naît pour exiger un tourisme acceptable, plus soucieux de la préservation des cultures et des sociétés et mieux intégré à l'environnement. Cet ouvrage retrace l'évolution de la pensée et du système de production de l'aménagement touristique, des années 1950 aux dernières lois de décentralisation ou de régionalisation en Europe occidentale. Il met en évidence les changements des modes opératoires et des pratiques professionnelles qui, dans le projet de station et de territoire touristique, articulent les moyens avec les objectifs et les outils de l'urbanisme, de la planification touristique.
