Sharing the range: the challenges and opportunities for sustainable ranching and habitat conservation in the municipal district of Pincher CreekSadilkova, Regina Maria 11 1900 (has links)
The broad scope and intent of this thesis is to contribute to the body of research and
writing about the loss of agricultural land due to development and the transformation of rural
agricultural communities. At the more specific level, through interviews and secondary research,
this thesis considers municipal land use planning in Alberta under the revised 1995 Municipal
Government Act in the Municipal District (MD) of Pincher Creek No. 9, where cattle ranching,
wildlife, and now, acreages vie for land resources. The critical questions addressed are:
What are the conflicts between ranching and habitat conservation, and
conversely, what opportunities do they share?
What role can and does a municipality play in promoting sustainable
ranching and conservation through its land use policy and jurisdiction?
Set in southwest corner of Alberta, the MD of Pincher Creek is endowed with a
remarkable history of ranching, ample resource wealth, and a unique climate and topography
that supports a spectacular, rich, diverse ecosystem. Within the past few years, private
agricultural land near Waterton Lakes National Park and the Castle River wilderness in the MD
has come under speculative and development pressure predominantly for country residences,
often retirement homes, and for tourism interests. Recent Municipal Act amendments have
delegated substantially more land use control to rural municipalities, as a result the MD of
Pincher Creek has more authority to make decisions that shape its future community profile, to
mediate between competing land use interests, and to impact local ranching and habitat.
The thesis analysis explores how the best practices of ranching or "sustainable ranching"
can help to conserve and enhance habitat and how ranchers' attitudes can evolve to be more
tolerant of wildlife. This thesis also explores and supports the efforts of a budding local land
trust, SALTS, which plans to protect local agricultural land and habitat through conservation
easements. Finally, the thesis concludes by envisioning ways the MD government can encourage
habitat preservation, conservation easements, sustainable and economically viable ranching, as
well as the control and direction of country residential development, all with a view to ensuring
that future economic development opportunities remain available for local residents.

Symbolismus ve vybraných dílech Williama Goldinga / Use of Symbolism in Selected Works of William GoldingKopečná, Kateřina January 2015 (has links)
This diploma thesis is concerned with the use of symbolism in three selected novels by William Golding, Pincher Martin, The Spire and The Double Tongue. The theoretical part presents a brief biography of the writer and outlines theoretical background of literary symbolism, focusing especially on Northrop Frye's Theory of Symbols and the psychoanalytic perspective. It is concluded by listing sources of inspiration behind the selected Golding's works, taking his own experiences as well as literary influences into account. The practical part begins with characterization of Golding's use of symbols in general, including his methods, recurring topics and symbolic patterns. Its main part focuses individually on the three chosen books, in the order of their publication. Each section analyses symbolism of setting of the story and the protagonists' names, symbolic imagery, and it seeks for Christian and psychoanalytic symbols. In addition, it presents possible interpretations of other significant symbols occurring in the particular novel. The use of symbolism is put in context with outer influences to show the variety of topics and specificity of the author's style.
