Abstract

Southeast Asia is one of the most dynamic regions in the world. This volume offers a timely approach to Southeast Asian Studies, covering recent transitions in the realms of urbanism, rural development, politics, and media. While most of the contributions deal with the era of post-independence, some tackle the colonial period and the resulting developments. The volume also includes insights from Southern India.

Abstract

For plenty years, many popular mountain resorts have seen largely uncontrolled development consisting of the multiplication of archetypal chalet-style houses. This is usually accompanied by roadbuilding for private cars. In order to protect these tourist destinations and their natural environs from further uncontrolled development, the author investigates different settlement structures such as Andermatt, Avoriaz, Verbier, Zermatt,and Whistler-Blackcomb. On the basis of detailed graphical analyses, she develops groundbreaking strategies for urban densification and suitable mobility management, which can also be transferred to other tourist areas. Viele beliebte Gebirgsorte entwickeln sich seit Jahrzehnten weitgehend unkontrolliert durch Multiplikation archetypischer Chalets. Damit geht zumeist die Erschließung durch den privaten Autoverkehr einher. Um die umgebenden Tourismus- und Naturgebiete vor weiterer Zersiedelung zu schützen, untersucht die Autorin so unterschiedliche Ortsstrukturen wie Andermatt, Avoriaz, Verbier und Zermatt sowie Whistler-Blackomb in Kanada. Aus detaillierten grafischen Analysen entwickelt sie wegweisende Strategien zur städtebaulichen Verdichtung und zu einer angepassten Mobilität, die sich auf andere Tourismusregionen übertragen lassen.

Abstract

In the modern era of industrial revolution, urbanization, and deforestation of forest land, carbon (C) sequestration through well-known activities called "land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF)" could establish a win-win situation from a climate change and sustainable development perspective. Equally important are the socio-economic co-benefits of C sequestration, given their implications on properly designed policies, especially on restoration and/or conservation of forests located in the tropical eco-regions. Further, the huge contribution of C sequestered in the vegetation and its underlain soil helps to protect socio-economic damages from climate change. This book explores the C sequestration of vegetation and its underlying soil, deforestation, as well as its impact on climate change, a vulnerability risk assessment for the climate, socio-economic impacts, and the mitigation of future climate impact strategies. The theme of the book extends across environmental policy (e.g., the Paris Agreement and REDD+), C sequestration in the terrestrial ecosystems, the applicability of land use, and the C credit generated at regional and global scales. This book is highly useful for environmentalists, hydrologists, soil scientists, and policymakers to understand the C sequestration potential of the vegetation and underlying soil in the terrestrial ecosystems at the regional, national and global scale to further study the long-term impacts on socio-economic development resulting from its implementation via climate change modeling.

Abstract

El proceso de urbanización de los territorios alejados de la ciudad supone un hecho cultural propio de la sociedad presente. No en vano, el espacio físico de la ciudad constituye el "nicho ecológico" de la especie humana, pues garantiza la evolución y la organización social. Sin embargo, el desarrollo en las comunicaciones (vehículos, infraestructuras e infoestructuras) responde a la búsqueda por parte de los ciudadanos de una mayor autonomía individual, una relativa inserción en la naturaleza y una vida más lúdica y asocial, en contradicción con el sentido originario de la urbe. Desde esta perspectiva, la tradicional dicotomía ciudad / campo puede sustituirse por la noción de ciudad difusa, caracterizada por unas condiciones particulares de estructura económica, tipología residencial y movimientos migratorios que explican las nuevas directrices en la ordenación del territorio.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage souhaite montrer la richesse d'une ouverture géographique et thématique des recherches urbaines actuelles en présentant celles qui prennent en considération les villes situées en dehors de l'aire occidentale. Il donne la voix à de jeunes chercheurs et praticiens originaires de six pays et de trois continents qui, par leurs réflexions engagées, proposent de corriger les perceptions souvent négatives, voire catastrophiques, de l'urbanisation non occidentale. En partant du principe que tout espace urbain est aussi banal que singulier, ils aident à décentrer le regard et à envisager sérieusement l'importance de l'altérité dans la construction des représentations collectives. Ouvert sur le monde, donc, cet ouvrage montre tout l'intérêt de diversifier les approches théoriques et empiriques en urbanisme, dont le fort ancrage nord-américain ou européen empêche souvent de rendre compte des multiples réalités des villes de la planète.

Abstract

This volume highlights the specific experiences and challenges of modernity in twentieth-century Eastern and Central Europe. Contributors ask how spatial and temporal conditions shaped the region's transformation from a rural to an urban, industrialized society in this period and investigate the state's role in the mastery of space, particularly in the context of state socialism. The volume also sheds light on the ruralization of cities and mutual perceptions of the rural and urban populations in this region.

Abstract

La découverte de nouveaux documents cartographiques concernant les origines du développement urbain et la structure sociale de Pondichéry à des moments cruciaux de son histoire modifie considérablement notre représentation de la ville. Rassemblant l'ensemble de la documentation aujourd'hui disponible dans les centres d'archives de France et des Pays-Bas, l'auteur nous montre comment, à partir d'une simple agglomération d'artisans, cet établissement est devenu une métropole structurée selon un plan d'urbanisme rigoureux, comment, aussi, s'est développé le système défensif de la place, du modeste fort barlong de François Martin au fort Louis et à la grande enceinte du temps de Dupleix, jusqu'à la décrépitude de la fin du xviiie siècle, nous permettant ainsi de lire, comme en filigrane, les épaisseurs du passé de Pondichéry. The discovery of new cartographic material relating to the origins of the urban development and social structure of Pondicherry at crucial moments of its history considerably modifies our representation of the town. On the basis of all the documentation that is currently available in Archives in France and in the Netherlands, the author shows us how, from a simple town of craftsmen, this settlement became a metropolis structured according to a rigorous urban plan. He also shows us how the defense system of the place developed from a modest rectangular fort built by François Martin to the Fort Louis and the large outer fortification at the time of Dupleix, until its final decay at the end of the 18th century. We are thus able to see, beneath the surface, the many layers of Pondicherry's past.
