Greenbelts have been used around the world to control urban growth and to enhance the natural environment of cities since the last century. However, some Latin American governments, influenced by urban renewal principles and modern planning, have implemented greenbelts to beautify and order cities. Much criticism has arisen about the social repercussions of using greenbelts as a way to control citizen behavior, which in many cases has resulted in exclusionary practices, especially of low-income populations. Based on a case study that documents and analyzes the uses and perceptions of residents of the informal settlement, Los Platanitos, of the Parque Nacional Mirador Norte, my research attempts to illuminate the political and social processes shaping urban environmental planning in Santo Domingo in order to understand practices of exclusion and marginalization in contexts marked by socioeconomic inequalities. / text

This study explores the non-monetary values assigned by designers, planners, developers, and policy makers in integrating ecosystem services into the design and development of urban transit-oriented development (TOD). This thesis also investigates the theoretical and practical design strategies that incorporate ecosystem services into Urban TODs. Methods used for research and data collection included reviewing existing literature relevant to the subject matter, conducting interviews with policy makers, academics, and design professionals, and exploring two specific examples of progressive, urban, “green,” TODs in the Pacific Northwest. This study concludes with ideas for future research into the integration of ecosystem services into urban TOD planning, and potential urban environmental policies that can be adopted by municipalities to maintain and strengthen the ecosystem services of the growing metropolis. / text

This research explored the role of science and civil society environmental organizations in conservation planning, using a case study of Ontario’s Long Point region. Science is a dynamic field that is constantly adapting and evolving and is increasingly relied on as a basis for decision-making in conservation planning, policy and management. The role of civil society in conservation planning has also grown and organizations that operate outside of government now play an important role in acquiring land, conducting monitoring activities, and promoting local stewardship. Considering the activities of these organizations, and the underlying science that informs them, is essential given the increasing prevalence of this type of work and the increasing ability of civil society organizations to affect conservation planning outcomes. Through a literature review, document analysis, and semi-structured interviews, this research considered how characterizations of science, applications of science, and recent trends in science have influenced conservation plans, policies, and actions in the Long Point region. The results illustrate how different forms of information were considered and applied when prioritizing, justifying, and implementing conservation projects and provide a location-specific example of how the modern features of conservation planning and management are influencing environmental outcomes. Specifically, the results suggest how place-based knowledge can potentially be disseminated through policy and planning initiatives and also suggest how different forms of information may interact to influence overall project credibility. These findings have implications for both planning theory and practice by contributing to our understanding of the role of science in shaping conservation practices, the role of civil society in driving conservation innovation, and the importance of local knowledge in supporting effective conservation actions. / Thesis (Master, Urban & Regional Planning) -- Queen's University, 2010-07-05 20:55:39.924

Historically, local communities have been excluded from the managemcnt of natural resources and their knowledge about their social and physical environment has been ignored and disregarded. The aim of this is study is to assess whether local knowledge is a significant resource and arbitrates in the management of natural resources in rural Namibia. The study looks at the place and use of local knowledge in governmental and non-governmental organisations, especially in their rural development programmes. It also examines local knowledge in institutional management of natural resources. Lastly, the study assesses the significance of local knowledge in different land use systems. The study found that local knowledge is widely acknowledged as an important source of information and a useful part of development. However, this recognition is often not translated into practice. The knowledge system is not recorded and available to people who are not members of the community, which limits the contribution it can make to natural resource management and rural development. The study shows that local communities have a vast knowledge of the social and physical environlnent in which they live. Rural development organisations can make better contributions to rural communities by learning from them and using their accumulated knowledge and experience in their programmes. The recommendations made in the study will help rural development practitioners, researchers, academics and agricultural extension officials to realise that local knowledge is a resource which can be used to the benefit of the community and the environment. / Thesis (M.Env.Dev.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 1998.

The establishment of a UNESCO Biosphere indicates a shift from traditional conservation of individual areas towards a more regional approach and an inclusive planning and management regime. This study sets out to investigate the effects of the Biosphere Reserve designation in Mount Carmel, Israel, with special regard to settlement development and stakeholder management. The implications of the Biosphere Reserve designation have been explored through GIS analysis, using LANDSAT satellite data, and through interviews, observations and participatory checking. The empirical findings were analysed in relation to the Biosphere Reserve Statutory Framework, and to theories on territorialisation, space production and participatory planning. The findings suggest that the Biosphere Reserve designation have had very limited effects in the case of Mount Carmel. Settlements have continued to expand into protected areas, and there is no organised structure for stakeholder participation. This study underlines the value of considering context and history in the establishment of protected areas, and the importance of establishing the Biosphere Reserve concept among the different stakeholders. / GLEAN - A Global Survey of Learning, Participation and Ecosystem Management in Biosphere Reserves

É o caso do surgimento de brownfields, áreas que possuíam uma função anterior, e que por motivos geralmente econômicos, são abandonadas, podendo herdar passivos ambientais. Porém, estes espaços podem ser descontaminados, reutilizados e adquirir nova função. Depois de realizar diversos projetos de remediação de áreas contaminadas, um consórcio da União Europeia criou o Tailored Improvement of Brownfield Regeneration in Europe (TIMBRE) projeto que tem o objetivo de remediar áreas contaminadas levando em consideração aspectos do meio físico e socioeconômico, se adaptando à realidade dos locais e às necessidades dos envolvidos. Nesse sentido, a presente dissertação teve o objetivo de aplicar o método TIMBRE de forma simplificada na Região dos Lagos de Santa Gertrudes (RLSG), considerando as investigações ambientais já realizadas na área e instrumentos de planejamento urbano e territorial, visando a elaboração de uma proposta de gerenciamento ambiental. Após o levantamento bibliográfico inicial, que possibilitou o conhecimento da situação legal sobre áreas contaminadas no país, especialmente no Estado de São Paulo, foi possível caracterizar a área de estudo em aspectos físicos e socioambientais. Após a interpolação dos dados obtidos nessa etapa para o método TIMBRE, foi possível elaborar três categorias de análise nos resultados, sendo um banco de dados bibliográfico, a questão do planejamento urbano e territorial no município de Santa Gertrudes e a caracterização da contaminação existente na RLSG. Os resultados possibilitaram a elaboração de uma proposta de gerenciamento ambiental que, ao utilizar os instrumentos de planejamento, enfatizou a adaptabilidade do método à realidade brasileira, contribuindo para uma gestão integrada da área ao unir diversos setores da sociedade. / Various changes in the social and economic models developed in cities can often create environmentally unsustainable environments. It is the case of the emergence of brownfields, areas that had a previous function, and for economic reasons, are abandoned, being able to inherit environmental liabilities. However, these sites can be decontaminated, reused and acquire new functions. After undertaking several remediation projects for contaminated sites, the European Union created a consortium named Tailored Improvement of Brownfield Regeneration in Europe (TIMBRE) project which aims to remedy contaminated areas taking into account aspects of the physical and socioeconomic environment, adapting to the reality of the sites and the needs of those involved. In this sense, this dissertation aimed to apply the TIMBRE method in a simplified way in the Santa Gertrudes Lake Region (RLSG), considering the environmental investigations already carried out in the area and instruments of urban and territorial planning, aiming at the elaboration of an environmental management proposal. After the initial bibliographic survey, which enabled the knowledge of the legal situation on contaminated areas in Brazil, especially in the State of São Paulo, it was possible to characterize the study area in physical and socio-environmental aspects. After the interpolation of the data obtained in the previous step for the TIMBRE method, it was possible to elaborate three categories of analysis in the results, being a bibliographic database, the question of the urban and territorial planning in the municipality of Santa Gertrudes and the characterization of the existing contamination in the RLSG. The results allowed the elaboration of an environmental management proposal that, when using the planning instruments, emphasized the adaptability of the method to the Brazilian reality, contributing to an integrated management of the area by uniting diverse sectors of society. / CNPq: 144255/2015-4.

A bacia hidrográfica, ao ser visualizada como uma unidade de planejamento e gestão ambiental, deve ter seus atributos ambientais analisados, visando a coerência entre o uso e conservação. Na bacia hidrográfica do rio Una, a relação entre homem e natureza tem revelado uma alta demanda de recursos naturais e suas perspectivas de uso, frente a conservação dos recursos hídricos, merece destaque pela sua posição estratégia em uma região metropolitana com alta densidade urbana, industrial e ao mesmo tempo com importância hídrica. Objetivou-se nesta tese aprimorar o processo de elaboração ZEE para bacias hidrográficas, através do desenvolvimento de um conjunto de diretrizes metodológicas e da proposição de uma metodologia de integração de dados espaciais, utilizando geoprocessamento e sensoriamento remoto, em ambiente SIG. Foram delimitadas diretrizes metodológicas, a partir da síntese dos diferentes estudos de ZEEs em bacias hidrográficas e da análise multivariada de agrupamento, através da avaliação de parâmetros da paisagem, morfometria, físicos, bióticos e socioambiental. Para o desenvolvimento da proposta de ZEE para a bacia do rio Una realizou-se o mapeamento do uso da terra e florestas apresentou treze classes com maior predomínio de culturas agrícolas temporárias (36,33%) e floresta ombrófila densa (37,05%). O indicador de degradação foi desenvolvido através da combinação do índice de transformação antrópica e do índice de circularidade, utilizando inferência fuzzy e geoprocessamento. A bacia foi classificada entre média a alta degradação, sendo a sub-bacia 8 com a degradação mais elevada. A modelagem ambiental avaliou os parâmetros hidrológicos, morfométricos e pedológicos, a partir do modelo digital do terreno e de coleta de solos e análise granulométrica pelo método da pipeta. A bacia estende-se por 96 km² com forma irregular e alongada, altitude média de 937 metros e cota máxima de 1175 metros. A hidrografia apresentou cinco ordens e padrão dendrítico. O relevo é fortemente ondulado, com declividade média de 18%. Os solos podem ser latossolos ou argissolos, com tendência a textura arenosa e menos siltosa, e matéria orgânica variável entre 10 a 60%. A avaliação dos fragmentos florestais foi realizada por métricas da paisagem, índices vegetais de vigor, eficiência fotossintética e fluxo de carbono. Há 197 fragmentos com alto efeito de borda, níveis elevados de biomassa, produção fotossintética moderada e um fluxo de carbono também moderado associados a áreas de maior altitude, declivosas e com curso d’água contida em seu interior. As características socioambientais foram avaliadas pela triagem de dados secundários sobre demografia, renda, educação e saneamento ambiental do censo demográfico do IBGE e analisados por meio da correlação de Pearson, da regressão linear múltipla e do indicador de qualidade socioambiental. A taxa de domicilio, de residentes e de saneamento ambiental apresentaram-se maiores na zona urbana. Cerca de 86% da população residente na bacia encontram-se alfabetizadas, enquanto os percentuais de acesso a rede de água e esgoto na zona rural é precário. A integração dos dados culminou no desenvolvimento da metodologia de integração analítica-agregativa sendo aplicada na proposta de ZEE da bacia do rio Una. A metodologia consiste na delimitação do cenário socioambiental da bacia, seguida da delimitação das zonas de manejo. Foram delimitadas oito zonas de manejo: Zona Residencial Consolidada, Zona Residencial Não-consolidada, Zona de Conservação, Zona de Recuperação, Zona de Monitoramento, Zona de Preservação Permanente, Zona Agrícola Primária e Zona Agrícola Secundária. Esta pesquisa contribui para a elaboração de propostas de zoneamento que atendem ao princípio da utilidade e simplicidade preconizada pelo Decreto 4.297/2002 e oferece aos pesquisadores e gestores diretrizes técnicas, e procedimentos metodológicos para a gestão ambiental de bacias hidrográficas. / The Ecological-Economic Zoning (EEZ) is an instrument of environmental policy that aims to discipline land use and ensure sustainable use through the compatibility of conservation and development. The river basin, when viewed as an environmental planning and management unit, should have its environmental attributes analyzed for consistency between use and conservation. In the river basin of the Una, the relation between man and nature has revealed a high demand of natural resources and its perspectives of use in front of the conservation of the water resources deserves to be emphasized by its strategic position in a metropolitan region with high industrial density and urban at the same time with water importance. The objective of this thesis was to improve the process of elaboration of EEZ for river basins, through the development of a set of methodological guidelines and the proposal of a methodology of integration of spatial data, using geoprocessing and remote sensing in GIS. Methodological guidelines were defined based on the synthesis of the different studies of EEZs in hydrographic basins and the multivariate cluster analysis, through the evaluation of landscape, morphometry, physical, biotic and socioenvironmental parameters. For the development of the EEZ proposal for the Una river basin was carried out the mapping of land use presented thirteen classes with higher prevalence of temporary agricultural crops (36.33%) and dense ombrophilous forest (37.05%). The degradation indicator was developed by combining the anthropic transformation index and the circularity index using fuzzy inference and geoprocessing. The basin was classified as medium to high degradation with sub-basin 8 having the highest degradation. The environmental modeling evaluated the hydrological, morphometric and pedological parameters from the digital terrain model and soil collection and particle size analysis by the pipette method . The basin extends for 96 km ² with irregular and elongated form, average altitude of 937 meters and maximum height of 1175 meters. Hydrography presented five orders and dendritic pattern. The relief is strongly undulating with an average slope of 18%. The soils may be latosols or argisols with a tendency to sandy texture and less silt and organic matter varying between 10 and 60%. The evaluation of forest fragments was performed by landscape metrics, plant vigor indexes, photosynthetic efficiency and carbon flux. There are 197 fragments with a high edge effect, high levels of biomass, moderate photosynthetic production and a moderate carbon flux associated with areas of higher altitude, slope and water course contained within. The socioenvironmental characteristics were evaluated by screening secondary data on demography, income, education and environmental sanitation from the IBGE demographic census and analyzed by Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression and socioenvironmental quality indicator. The rate of residence, residents and environmental sanitation were higher in the urban area. About 86% of the population living in the basin are literate, while the percentage of access to water and sewage in rural areas is precarious. The integration of the data culminated in the development of the analytical-aggregation integration methodology being applied in the EEZ proposal of the Una river basin. The methodology consists of the delimitation of the socioenvironmental scenario of the basin followed by the delimitation of the management zones. Eight management zones were delineated: Consolidated Residential Zone, Non-Consolidated Residential Zone, Conservation Zone, Recovery Zone, Monitoring Zone, Permanent Preservation Zone, Primary Agricultural Zone and Secondary Agricultural Zone. This research contributes to the elaboration of zoning proposals that comply with the principle of utility and simplicity advocated by Decree 4.297/2002 and offers researchers and managers technical guidelines and methodological procedures for the environmental management of river basins.

A degradação dos recursos naturais é uma realidade nos dias atuais e vem desencadeando problemas ambientais e sociais permanentes. Estudo geomorfológicos podem auxiliar na compreensão destes problemas ambientais pois trata da interação de mecanismos complexos que modificam a superfície do globo. O estudo de fragilidade ambiental natural, aguçado pelas ações antrópicas, facilita o entendimento dos processos ocorrentes e um planejamento territorial. O objetivo desta pesquisa é realizar uma análise da fragilidade ambiental do município de Cambará do Sul, localizado na região dos Campos de Cima da Serra, nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul. A metodologia utilizada é baseada em Ross (1994) que define fragilidade ambiental a partir dos conceitos de unidades Ecodinâmicas (Tricart, 1977), agrupadas em Unidades Ecodinâmicas Instáveis e Unidades Ecodinâmicas Estáveis, com estabelecimentos de graus de fragilidade, desde o muito fraco até o muito forte. O município possui como área 1208,65 km², segundo o IBGE, e está localizado na unidade morfoescultural do Planalto Meridional. As altitudes da área variam de 700 à 1238 metros, possuindo em sua maior parte um relevo suavemente ondulado. Foram identificadas cinco compartimentações do relevo: Padrão em patamares planos; Padrão em forma de colinas com interflúvios amplos; Padrão em forma de morros com vales meândricos encaixados; Padrão em forma de colinas com interflúvios médios e topos planos; Padrão em forma de planície fluvial. As declividades na maior parte são baixas, sendo que aproximadamente 78% de Cambará do Sul possui declividades menores que 6% correspondendo a fragilidade muito fraca. Os solos predominantes são os Cambissolos, encontrados em 78% do município e esse correspondem a uma fragilidade forte. Quanto ao uso do solo e cobertura vegetal, os que são mais representativos são os campos e pastagens e a mata nativa, que correspondem, respectivamente, a fragilidades média e muito fraca. Quanto ao uso do solo apenas as áreas de silvicultura receberam grau de fragilidade muito forte. A carta de fragilidade possibilitou a análise da fragilidade dos ambientes com relação aos processos erosivos. Em Cambará do Sul foram identificadas área com fragilidade Muito Fraca (0,92%), Fraca (23,57%), Média (66,53%), Forte (8,9%) e Muito Forte (0,08%). Constata-se que a metodologia auxilia no planejamento territorial, condizendo com a realidade encontrada em trabalhos de campo. / Degradation of natural resources is a reality today and has promoted environmental and social problems. Geomorphological study may help in understanding these environmental problems because it comes from the interaction of complex mechanisms that modify the surface of the globe. The study of natural environmental fragility, sharpened by human actions, facilitates the understanding of the occurring processes and territorial planning. The objective of this research is to analyze the environmental fragility of Cambará do Sul, located in the Campos de Cima da Serra, northeast of Rio Grande do Sul state. The methodology is based on Ross (1994) that defines environmental fragility from the concepts of Ecodinamics units (Tricart, 1977), grouped into Ecodinamics units Unstable and Stable, establishments with degrees of weakness from the very weak to the very strong. The study area has 1208,65 km², according to IBGE, and is located in the Southern Plateau. The altitude of the area varies from 700 to 1238 meters, having mostly gently rolling relief. Five kinds of releaf have been identified: Standard plains at levels; Standard shaped hills with broad interfluves; Standard shaped hills with valleys embedded meândricos; Standard shaped hills with flat tops and interfluves average; Standard shaped fluvial plain. The slopes are mostly lower, approximately 78% of Cambará do Sul has slopes less than 6% corresponding to fragility very weak. The predominant soils are Cambisols, found in 78% of the study area and this corresponds to a strong weakness. With regard to land use and vegetation cover, those are the most representative fields and pastures and bushland, which correspond, respectively, to average and weaknesses very weak. As for land use only areas of forestry received very strong degree of fragility. The letter of weakness allowed the analysis of the fragility of the environment with respect to erosion. In Cambará do Sul were identified fragility degrees with fragility Very Weak (0,92%), Low (23,51%), Medium (66,53%), Strong (8,9%) and Very Strong (0,08%). It seems that the methodology helps in territorial planning, matching the reality found in fieldwork.

As cidades hoje são planejadas a partir da perspectiva dos seus planos diretores, orientados pelo Estatuto da Cidade (Lei Federal Nº 10.257/2001); dependendo das características das cidades, as suas leis ambientais não possuem integração com o regime urbanístico, havendo inclusive conflitos na legislação. Indicar áreas do solo urbano onde se poderão realizar usos e ocupações é uma situação complexa para o planejamento urbano e ambiental. Além disso, promover o ordenamento territorial, no que diz respeito aos municípios, é outra difícil tarefa quando se tem os interesses privados próximos aos gabinetes de técnicos das prefeituras municipais. Do ponto de vista das cidades, na questão ambiental, as leis federais, estaduais e municipais regem parâmetros e índices sem necessariamente ter a dimensão de sua adequabilidade, haja vista que as minutas dessas leis são, muitas vezes, consultadas e/ou copiadas de outros municípios. Diante disso, este trabalho tem o intuito de sistematizar um conjunto de parâmetros ambientais a serem considerados nos Planos Diretores dos municípios, aliando a política ambiental à política urbana. A fim de alcançar tal objetivo, buscou-se referenciar as relações da sociedade com a natureza nos ambientes urbanos e como que essa coexistência pode ser promovida de forma equilibrada pelos poderes públicos. Foi analisado de que forma o planejamento territorial e a gestão ambiental ocorrem em diferentes escalas e o processo paradoxo que a elas se impõe na vida real urbana Com o recorte para o Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, foram selecionados onze municípios, a partir de critério estabelecido na metodologia, nos quais foram analisados o seu histórico de ocupação, as legislações urbanas e ambientais, e leitura paralela às legislações federais e estaduais, tanto no que se refere aos regimes urbanísticos, quanto às políticas ambientais. Percebeu-se nos municípios selecionados que aqueles onde os Planos Diretores eram denominados urbano-ambientais, no Plano Ambiental, haviam somente referências a zoneamentos ou equivalentes, relegando este tema a um segundo plano que não leva à uma política efetiva de integração ambiental e urbana. A partir disso, se estabeleceu um conjunto de 32 parâmetros considerados viáveis para a implementação junto ao Plano Diretor nos municípios, avançando nos instrumentos propostos pelo Estatuto da Cidade. Esses parâmetros constituem elementos ambientais que atingem diretamente o cotidiano das cidades e, sobretudo, a segurança das diferentes formas de vida existentes no espaço urbano, onde a relação da sociedade com a natureza ocorre de forma mais intensa. / Cities today are planned from the perspective of their master plans, guided by the City Statute (Federal Law No. 10.257/2001). Depending on the characteristics of cities, their environmental laws are not integrated with the urban regime, and there are also conflicts in the legislation. Indicating areas of urban land where uses and occupations can be made is a complex situation for urban and environmental planning. In addition, promoting spatial planning with regard to municipalities is another difficult task when one has private interests close to the offices of technicians of municipal municipalities. From the point of view of cities, in environmental matters, federal, state and municipal laws govern parameters and indices without necessarily having the dimension of their adequacy, since the drafts of these laws are often consulted and/or copied from others counties. Therefore, this work intends to systematize a set of environmental parameters to be considered in the municipal Master Plans, combining environmental policy with urban policy. In order to achieve this objective, it was sought to refer to the relations of society with nature in urban environments and how this coexistence can be promoted in a balanced way by the public authorities. It was analyzed how territorial planning and environmental management take place at different scales and the paradoxical process imposed on them in urban real life. With the cut for the State of Rio Grande do Sul, eleven municipalities were selected, based on criteria established in the methodology, which analyzed their occupation history, urban and environmental legislations, and reading parallel to federal and state legislations, both in terms of urban planning and environmental policies. It was noticed in the selected municipalities that those where the Master Plans were denominated urban-environmental, in the environmental plane, had only references to zoning or equivalent, relegating this subject to a second plane that does not lead to an effective policy of environmental and urban integration. From this, a set of 32 parameters considered viable for the implementation with the Master Plan in the municipalities was established, advancing in the instruments proposed by the City Statute. These parameters constitute environmental elements that directly affect the daily life of cities and, above all, the safety of the different forms of life existing in urban space, where the relationship of society with nature occurs more intensely.
