Kapazitätsanalyse von Hinterlandverbindungen ausgewählter europäischer Seehäfen

Frass, Johannes January 2006 (has links) (PDF)
This work analyzes and systematizes the effects that the increasing amount of cargo import and export of the European ports of Hamburg, Bremen, Bremerhaven and Koper have on the traffic in the hinterland infrastructure. Growing transactions at the ports, as well as the increase of cargo transport distribution has had a profound effect on the cargo traffic and infrastructure of Germany, Slovenia, Czech Republik, Slovak Republik, Hungary and Austria as well as other countries whose highways and rail tracks are being employed daily by transactions originating at these sea ports.(...)

Definição de um hinterland portuário : o caso de estudo de Leixões

Baptista, Hugo Manuel dos Santos January 2012 (has links)
A definição de hinterland tem, ao longo do tempo, sofrido alterações consoante as análises efetuadas e os objetivos pretendidos. Com este trabalho, houve a intenção de estudar as várias definições e conceitos investigados que se identificam com a temática. Assim, foram analisados os conceitos, visões e representações do hinterland que, de alguma forma, pudessem ser aplicados ao caso de estudo do porto de Leixões. Com o objetivo de discutir o conceito de hinterland, observaram-se várias metodologias e a sua aplicabilidade nas novas visões que decorrem das mudanças que se têm vindo a sentir na indústria do transporte marítimo e, por consequência, nos portos. A perceção de que os portos integram as cadeias logísticas como elos de ligação entre o ramo marítimo e o ramo terrestre dessas cadeias, faz compreender a importância da sua área de influência. Esta assenta sobre o território composto por atores e dinâmicas próprias. Assim, com base na intenção deste trabalho em apresentar uma visão do hinterland com enfoque numa perspetiva geográfica, procurou-se acompanhar o estudo do hinterland, baseado nas definições já existentes, com o estudo das dinâmicas e atores territoriais que se encontram no território. Para este objetivo procedeu-se à delimitação da área de estudo, tendo-se optado apenas pela delimitação do hinterland do porto de Leixões no território português, uma vez que a disponibilidade de dados e a verificação das dinâmicas territoriais apresentouse substancialmente mais fácil de concretizar, através da recolha de informação estatística junto das entidades responsáveis. Obteve-se um conjunto de informação que, após um processo de tratamento e normalização, permitiu a elaboração de uma nova proposta metodológica, aplicada ao porto de Leixões. [...]

A Port and Its Hinterland: An Environmental History of Izmir in the Late-Ottoman Period

Inal, Onur January 2015 (has links)
This dissertation, based on Ottoman, Turkish, British, French, American, German, and Italian archival and published primary sources, tells the story of transformation of Izmir and its surrounding area in the late Ottoman period through the perspective of environmental history. In this period, roughly in the decades between the 1840s and 1890s, Izmir, thanks to the human and natural resources in its hinterland, grew rapidly in export trade and evolved into a gateway city, linking the fertile Western Anatolian valleys to world markets. By discussing the economic and ecological transformations in the Western Anatolian countryside, this dissertation aims to show that nature was a historical actor and an active factor in the social, economic, and environmental changes in Izmir and its hinterland in the late Ottoman Empire. In other words, by using the lens of environmental history, this dissertation seeks to document and analyze the interplay between the city and countryside and produce a unified history of Izmir and its hinterland in the late Ottoman period.

Memories of Oaxen

Wallström, Anna January 2018 (has links)
In Sweden over 60 % of the population live in a city with a population over 5000 inhabitants (Statistiska centralbyrån). The city life is in many ways considered to be a more sustainable lifestyle with shorter transportation routes and possibilities to co-use various systems. The life in the city consists (like anywhere) of eating food, drinking beverages, usage of hygiene products and clothes, usage of energy for laptops, phones and lights, transportation to work, schools and various appointments. Together all of it somehow fulfil our basic needs. These basic needs are generally not supplied by the cities we live in. We depend on the hinterlands either within Sweden or outside of Sweden. The hinterlands consist of all sorts of resources from water to fertile soil to minerals. Today and through history these resources and the value of them are put into the cities. Often done so at the cost of the environment and the people living there. At the cost of the environment and people, the lack of providing resources for the nation in general and cities in particular is the reason this thesis focus on "How could we review what a sustainable lifestyle is and instead create a more metabolic system between cities and the hinterland?". The question is studied within the setting of the island Oaxen and througout the thesis the author explores different perspectives and themes of it.

Os povos indígenas e os sertões das minas do ouro no século XVIII / Indian Peoples And The \"Sertões\" of The Gold Mines In The 18th Century

Ribeiro, Núbia Braga 10 November 2008 (has links)
Este estudo aborda as políticas de ocupação e exploração das minas dos sertões concomitante as reações indígenas, no século XVIII, principalmente, a partir da década de 1730. Ao analisar as fontes, contempladas nas correspondências entre autoridades, instruções, planos de catequese e civilização, se constatou que a violência, como resultado da prática consuetudinária, prevaleceu sobre as leis de integração social dos gentios. Avaliou-se as investidas dos índios, ao impedirem o êxito dos propósitos do Antigo Sistema Colonial, tornaram objetos da política de Estado incluindo o destino desses povos na pauta de diretrizes, donde derivou a série de planos de catequese. Entretanto, nada mais foram que alternativas dissimuladas de cooptação, articuladas numa seqüência estratégica de anulação das resistências indígenas, como a invenção dos aldeamentos foi um meio de confiná-los em redutos projetados para infligir os hábitos da vida sedentária e a extinção da vida nômade. Pretendia-se adaptá-los ao modelo de civilização européia, promover a convivência com os não índios e viabilizar o acesso às minas. Nesta perspectiva a colonização, inevitavelmente, esteve associada à apropriação das riquezas, condição determinante do sentido à conquista e a razão à catequese. Em contrapartida, originou uma situação permanente de tensões diretamente vinculada à desapropriação das terras indígenas, conjuntamente revelou a maior incidência das disputas nas áreas dos principais focos de lutas indígenas e identificou-se, exatamente, nelas a concentração da política indigenista. Embora aparentemente as estratégias ressoassem o intuito de apaziguar os índios mediante os instrumentos de sujeição, tutela, liberdade restrita, a guerra ofensiva foi um recurso condicionado aos agravos das reações indígenas. Contudo, a guerra, fenômeno histórico-cultural tanto indígena quanto europeu, se efetivou nos combates armados de ambos os lados. Assim, sob o artifício da fé e civilização se enunciou o dever cristão de conduzir o bárbaro selvagem à salvação. No entanto, o cumprimento do dever esteve conexo à recompensa de administrar a vida dos índios, por conseguinte, de administrar a opulência do patrimônio abrigado nas sesmarias e datas minerais localizadas nos sertões. Em função disso, foi indispensável à pesquisa apreender a concepção de sertões e reconhecer a significância do nomadismo, comum aos índios, que forneceu a imagem de espaços em movimentos, compreendendo fronteiras imprecisas que se interagiam nas dimensões étnicas, sociais e econômicas. A itinerância dos índios conferiu atributos à identidade dos ambientes naturais, à medida que se deslocavam se constituía a referência de fluidez dos espaços, mas para dominá-los dependia de fixá-los em limites. Portanto, a correlação entre mobilidade dos sertões e inconstância dos gentios configurou uma geopolítica específica do interior da América portuguesa interligado pelos caminhos trilhados das minas do ouro entre Minas-Goiases-Cuiabá, Minas e Espírito-Santo, Minas-Bahia e assim por diante. As Minas Gerais setecentista, respeitadas as peculiaridades do contexto e das diversas etnias dos povos indígenas, guardavam os metais preciosos e delas se partia para outras minas. Os sertões dos índios eram os sertões das Minas do ouro, espalhadas ao longo dos rios, distantes do litoral, se apresentaram nos focos de reações indígenas que se interpunham como desafio para atingi-las. / This study focuses in the politics of settlement and exploitation of the mines of the hinterlands (sertões) and the Indians reactions in the 17th Century Brazil, mostly in the 1730´s. In analyzing the sources the correspondence between authorities, instructions, catechism plans, we were able to verify that the violence, as a result of the consuetudinary practice, prevailed over the social integration laws of the gentiles. We evaluated that the Indians attacks - that were successful in stopping the Ancient Colonial System purposes - were subject to State policy, including the fate of these peoples in the State agenda, generating the catechism plans. However, these were dissimulated alternatives of cooptation, articulated in a strategic sequence of annulment of the Indian resistance, such as the creation of the settlements (aldeamentos), that was a means to confine them in planned locals that were able to cause the habits of a sedentary life and the end of the nomad life. The purpose was to adapt the Indians to the European civilization model, to promote the familiarity with others and to enable the access to the mines. In this perspective, the colonization was associated to the appropriation of the riches, that was an important condition to give sense to the conquest and justify the catechism. On the other hand, it originated a scenery with permanent tensions, directly linked to the expropriation of the Indian land, that appeared in the greater incidence of the dispute in the areas where the major Indian struggles developed, that were the same areas where were concentrated the policies regarding the Indians. Although apparently these strategies showed the intention of pacifying the Indians, by subjugation, tutorship and confinement, the war was a resource that was subject to the intensification of the Indians reactions. But the war, a historical and cultural phenomena both Indian and European, was accomplished in the battles. Thus the Christian duty of bringing the salvage barbarian to salvation was implanted under the artifice of faith and civilization. Nevertheless, the fulfillment of duty was connected to the rewards of governing the Indians, and of governing the riches of the estate that was located in the sesmarias and mines of the hinterland. Thus, it was important to the research the understanding of the concept of sertão, and to recognize the significance of nomadism, that supplied the image of spaces in movement, with imprecise borders that interacted in the ethnic, social and economic levels. The Indians dislocations gave identity features to the natural environment, and demanded the research to apprehend these dimensions. To be able to dominate them it was necessary to settle them in determined limits. The correlation between the mobility of the sertões and the inconstancy of the gentiles, shaped a specific geopolitics in the Portuguese America hinterland, connected by the paths of the gold mines (Minas- Goiases Cuiabá, Minas and Espírito Santo, Minas-Bahia and so forth). The Minas Gerais of the 18th Century, respected the peculiarities of the context and the various ethnics of the Indians peoples, kept the precious metals and from there they went to other mines. The Indians sertões were the sertões of the gold mines, scattered by the rivers, faraway from the coast, and they presented themselves in the reactions of the Indians that were an obstacle to attain it.

Cellular Seismology Analysis of the Western United States: Comparing and Contrasting the San Andreas Transform Zone, the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and the Western Intraplate Hinterland Region

Fisher, Eric Alan January 2017 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Alan Kafka / Thesis advisor: Seth Kruckenberg / The western United States (WUS) is an area of high seismic activity. The Juan de Fuca, Pacific, and North American plates all meet in this area, resulting in zones of subduction and strike-slip faulting, as well as other styles of faulting, all of which make it prone to frequent, as well as large magnitude earthquakes. In this study the WUS encompasses the area between 30° to 52°N and 110° to 131°W. The diverse seismicity and tectonics of the area makes the study of seismo-tectonic processes in the WUS important not only in terms of basic geoscience, but also in terms of earthquake hazards. Understanding earthquake processes in this region is critical because of the potential for devastating earthquakes to occur along the Pacific-Juan de Fuca-North American plate boundary system. Large WUS earthquakes do not, however, only occur along these plate boundaries. They can also happen in intraplate environments within the WUS. The WUS includes three distinct tectonic regions for which this study compares and contrasts characteristics of seismic activity: the Cascadia subduction region, the San Andreas strike-slip region, and a continental extension/intraplate region to the east of the major plate boundaries referred to here as the “Western Intraplate Hinterland Region”. To help make these comparisons, the method of “Cellular Seismology” (CS; Kafka, 2002, 2007), is used here to investigate similarities and differences in the extent to which past earthquakes delineate zones where future earthquakes are likely to occur in the WUS and its various tectonic sub-regions. The results of this study show that while there seems to be a “signal” of CS predictability being dependent on tectonic region, that signal is subtle in most cases, meaning that there is not a significant difference in the level of CS predictability between the regions stated here. This means we can apply CS predictability studies widely across different regions, however, it also counterintuitively suggests that tectonic understanding of a region does not necessarily elucidate how well past seismicity predicts spatial patterns of earthquakes in a region.

Saber molhar o sertão, patrimônio cultural imaterial em Mirorós - Bahia / Knowledge about irrigation, intangible cultural heritage in Mirorós Bahia

Horta, Joana Crivelente 21 March 2014 (has links)
Geração após geração, o saber molhar a terra em Mirorós (BA) desempenha na caatinga uma agricultura produtiva e diversificada. No entanto, sobre influência de profundas mudanças sociais ocorridas no fim do século XX, o conhecimento local foi desarticulado e hoje está em vias de desaparecimento. O conhecimento desenvolvido através da oralidade e do convívio social diz respeito às técnicas locais de manipulação da água para a produção de víveres, à divisão do recurso natural e à organização dada a partir da atividade camponesa. Este trabalho pretende o reconhecimento de um saber resguardado pela população de Mirorós, situada entre os municípios de Gentio do Ouro e Ibipeba, na zona central do Estado da Bahia. Inicia-se com a apresentação do contexto espacial, das particularidades do semiárido e do bioma caatinga, e do espaço onde se encontra o saber, nas margens do Rio Verde, que nasce nas serras da Chapada Diamantina e deságua no Rio São Francisco. O saber molhar o sertão tido como patrimônio imaterial é então descrito como um conjunto de técnicas, obras, condutas e conhecimentos sobre o espaço natural e sua produtividade, desempenhado localmente até a década de 1980. O recorte temporal refere-se à desarticulação do saber, com a construção da Barragem Manoel Novaes, em 1983 e a inauguração do Perímetro Irrigado Mirorós, em 1996, obras executadas pela Companhia de Desenvolvimento dos Vales do São Francisco e Parnaíba (Codevasf). As ações governamentais reordenaram o espaço, o acesso aos recursos naturais e privilegiaram técnicas importadas de produção agrícola. Tendo a história oral como metodologia, a memória dos sertanejos irrigantes possibilita o entendimento do saber local e também alcança as transformações dadas com a implantação de políticas públicas. Dessa maneira, busca-se evocar o conhecimento tradicional na realidade cultural e ambiental contemporânea e o modelo desempenhado pela política pública nas últimas décadas. / Generation after generation, the knowledge about irrigation in Mirorós (BA) transforms the savanna in a place with diverse and productive agriculture. However, under the influence of profound social changes in the late twentieth century, local knowledge was dismantled and is now disappearing. The knowledge developed through oral and social life concerning local manipulation techniques of water for the production of food, the division of natural resource and people organization. This work aims to recognize the knowledge kept by Mirorós population, situated between the towns Gentio do Ouro and Ibipeba, in the central part of the state of Bahia. It begins with the presentation of spatial context, the particularities of semiarid savanna and biome, and the space where the know, on the banks of the river Verde, which rises in the mountains of the Chapada Diamantina and empties into the river São Francisco. Knowing wet the backcountry considered intangible heritage is then described as a set of technical articles, conduct and knowledge about the natural environment and its productivity, played locally until the 1980s. The time frame refers to the disarticulation of knowledge, with the construction of the dam Manoel Novaes in 1983 and the inauguration of the Irrigated Place Mirorós in 1996, works executed by the Company for the Development of the Valley of the São Francisco and Parnaíba (Codevasf). Government actions reordered the space, access to the natural resources and favored techniques imported for agricultural production. Since the oral history methodology, the memory of local irrigators enables understanding of local knowledge and also achieves the transformations in hand with the implementation of public policies. Thus, seek to evoke the traditional knowledge in contemporary cultural and environmental reality and model played by public policy in recent decades.

City of mountains : Denver and the Mountain West

Busch, Eric Terje 20 August 2015 (has links)
This study is an urban history of Denver, Colorado, viewed through the lens of its constantly evolving physical, political, cultural and economic relationship with its mountain hinterland. From the town's early years as a 19th century mining and ranching depot to its 20th century emergence as a hub of tourism and technology, that relationship informs every aspect of the city's urban, cultural and environmental history. This study seeks, first, to analyze Denver's historical appropriation and utilization of its mountain hinterland, whether for water, wealth, recreation and cultural identity. Second, it highlights how access to and control over the Rocky Mountain hinterland shaped Denver's evolving political, class and racial landscapes throughout the city's history. Integrating the methodologies of environmental, urban, and social history, it demonstrates how different social groups competed for access, control, and the ability to vii assign value to the mountain hinterland. Every Denverite in the city's history, regardless of station, has lived within the context of this tense and constantly changing relationship. Since the city's founding, that relationship has been the constant object of human agency, accommodation, and change, and in it can be read the story of Denver itself.
