It includes works on geographical studies of Canada as a whole, on multiple provinces, and on individual provinces. Works covered include books, monographs, atlases, book chapters, scholarly articles, dissertations, and theses. The contents are organized first by region into main chapters, and then each chapter is divided into sections: General Studies, Cultural and Social Geography, Economic Geography, Historical Geography, Physical Geography, Political Geography, and Urban Geography. Each section is further sub-divided into specific topics within each main subject. All known publications on the geographical studies of Canada—in English, French, and other languages—covering all types of geography are included in this bibliography. It is an essential resource for all researchers, students, teachers, and government officials needing information and references on the varied aspects of the environments and human geographies of Canada.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consequently, State and provincial governments in the US and Canada have enacted a plethora of new planning legislation, amendments to existing statutes, regulations and policies purported to provide more direction and order to growth and changes in land use and to better protect natural environments, environmental quality and heritage parks and farm lands from conversion and degradation. [...] Key participants and stakeholders concerned with land use issues and markets and the economic incentive structures facing them are enumerated and discussed in Chapter 3. The "Development Industry" consists of firms and businesses directly involved in assembling and preparing lands for development projects as well as the construction of residential and non-residential structures and the suppliers o [...] Issues, data and information surrounding the financing of municipal infrastructure and service costs of growth and urbanization are presented in Chapter 6. In particular, the degree to which builders and owners of new residential and commercial properties pay their fair share of the costs of municipal infrastructure and other services is assessed to the extent permitted by available data. [...] Although 11 the losses of agricultural land to urban uses in Ontario and elsewhere appear to be small, in some regions such as the lands around Toronto and in the Niagara peninsula, loss of urbanization of agricultural land reduces the supply of land for specialty crops such as grapes and soft fruits. [...] However, these new laws and updates to the Provincial Policy Statement on land uses have incorporated special provisions, exemptions and technical language that protect the interests and incomes of the largest developers and their closest allies and allows for the perpetuation of sprawl development patterns.

Download or read book Cumulative Effects in Rural Land Planning written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The processes of change in natural areas, particularly over the long term, are poorly understood, giving an opportunity to apply emerging frameworks and methodologies for cumulative effects assessment to the issue of natural area changes. This report documents cumulative effects of land use activities on natural areas in Puslinch Township in Wellington County in southern Ontario. This first involves the development of a conceptual model of cumulative effects on natural areas based on existing frameworks of cumulative environmental change. An analytical method is then designed to document change in spatial attributes of natural areas and to identify development activities associated with these changes. The method involves interpretation of aerial photographs and analysis of change in a geographic information system and can be applied to areas of intermediate size (township, watershed) and to broad temporal scales (decades). The methodology demonstrates how cumulative effects concepts can be applied, including space and time crowding of effects, and accumulation of perturbations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Canada, as elsewhere, there has been an outward expansion of urban centres in order to accommodate the land demands for urban activities. A variety of resource conflicts have arisen as a result, one of the most actively discussed in recent times being the development for urban uses of land with high capability for renewable uses. While there have been numerous studies undertaken in an effort to estimate the extent and rate of conversions of rural land, especially agricultural land, to urban land uses, there has been much less attention devoted to estimating the extent and possible implications of future land conversions. In this report an approach to estimating future rural to urban land conversions is described and a method to assess the implications of land conversions in terms of the land resource for rural land use activities is developed. A pilot study, implemented to assess the implications of future land conversions for agriculture in Ontario, provides an illustration of the approaches described"--Abstract.

Download or read book Urban and Regional Planning in Canada written by J. Barry Cullingworth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987, this book presents a wide-ranging review of urban, regional, economic, and environmental planning in Canada. A comprehensive source of information on Canadian planning policies, it addresses the wide variations between Canadian provinces. While acknowledging similarities with programs and policies in the United States and Britain, the author documents the distinctively Canadian character of planning in Canada. Among the topics addressed in the book are: the agencies of planning; on the nature of urban plans; the instruments of planning; land policies; natural resources; regional planning at the federal level; regional planning and development in Ontario; regional planning in other provinces; environmental protection; planning and people; and reflections on the nature of planning in Canada. The author documents how governmental agencies handle problems of population growth, urban development, exploitation of natural resources, regional disparities, and many other issues that fall within the scope of urban and regional planning. But he goes beyond this to address matters of politics, law, economics, social organization. The book is pragmatic, eclectic, interpretive, and critical. It is a valuable contribution to international literature on planning in its political context.
