Baigiamojo darbo tikslas - nustatyti Baltijos jūros kranto pokyčius, atsiradusius 2005–2009 metais. Tyrimo objektas – penkiolikos kilometrų ilgio Baltijos jūros kranto linijos ruoţas ties Palanga. Tyrimo metodas – empirinis. Kranto linjos pokyčiams nustatyti taikyta 2005 ir 2009 metų ortofotografiniuose ţemėlapiuose M 1: 10 000 išmatuotos koordinatės. Koordinatės išmatuotos kas dvidešimt metrų. Iš viso 751 koordinatė. Atlikta matematinė statistinė išmatuotų kranto linijos pokyčių analizė. Nustatyta, kad 2005–2009 m. kranto linijos padėtis pakito nuo -36 m. iki +27 m. Akumuliacijos arealų plotai apie 15 % didesni uţ eroduojamus plotus. Šiaurinėje tyrinėtos atkarpos pusėje vyrauja eroziniai procesai, o pietinėje – akumuliaciniai. Mokslinis naujumas – nustatyti Baltijos jūros kranto linijos ties Palanga kaitos bendrieji dėsningumai 2005 – 2009 metais. / The objective of the final thesis is to determine changes of the Baltic Sea shore during the period between 2005 and 2009. The research object - 15 kilometers long strip of the Baltic Sea shore beside Palanga. The research method - empirical. Coordinates measured in orthographic maps (scale 1: 10 000) of 2005 and 2009 were applied when determining the changes of the shore strip. The coordinates were measured every 20 meters. There is a 751 coordinate in total. Mathematical statistics analysis of the measured shore strip was performed. It was determined that during the period between 2005 and 2009 the position of the shore strip altered from -36 meters to +27 meters. Cumulative habitat areas are 15% larger than the erodated areas. Erosive processes dominate on the Northern side of the analyzed strip and cumulative processes on the Southern side. The novelty of the research - overall features of the Baltic Sea shore strip alteration beside Palanga during the period of 2005 and 2009 were determined.

Problems Caused By Coastal Law And Decision Making Mechanism In Small Coastal Settlements: Case Study Mugla- Bozburun

Almac, Ozgur 01 June 2005 (has links) (PDF)
In Turkey, there is not a comprehensive (integrated) coastal policy. In addition, there are many different policies and legal regulations describing the implementation processes of these policies and institutional structures emerged as the consequences of these regulations concerning the coastal areas. Although there is a coastal law specified for the coasts, the applicability of the rules determining the utilization principles of the coast and shore strip described with this law administratively has always been controversial. In the Constitution, the principle of controlling the coasts and shore strips within the framework of public interest and environmental protection was adopted. The valid Coastal Law necesitates the formation of a uniform spatial pattern in the shore strip described in a stable manner. This situation means that the existing characteristics of small coastal settlements, existed in an integration with the sea throughout the history, were ignored and the relations of these settlements with the sea were disconnected. The main target of the thesis is to put forward and critisize to what extent the spatial pattern desired to constitute with the planning approach proposed in the Law is in service of the public interest and principles of environmental protection in the small coastal settlements. Finally, the implementation problems caused by the Coastal Law in Bozburun are put forward in this thesis. Recommendations are given concerning that the power of planning should be increased in this process and accordingly institutional structure should be rearrenged in stead of the Coastal Law&rsquo / s proposing similar plan decisions for the coastal settlements at any scale.

Cinco espécies foram encontradas e tiveram as suas populações acompanhadas em duas praias do município de São Sebastião, SP: Bunodosoma caissarum, Bunodosoma cangicum, Anthopleura cascaia, Actinia bermudensis e Phyllactis flosculifera. Destas, as mais abundantes foram Bunodosoma caissarum, Bunodosoma cangicum e Anthopleura cascaia. Estas três espécies mostraram oscilações muito grandes em seus tamanhos populacionais, padrão não esperado considerando a longevidade de anêmonas-do-mar. As espécies B. caissarum e B. cangicum mostraram um padrão de recrutamento aparentemente contínuo e pequeno enquanto A. bermudensis e A. cascaia apresentaram um maior número de jovens principalmente na primavera. Não foi verificado um padrão claro de crescimento corporal das espécies estudadas, devido, possivelmente, à variação no número de indivíduos amostrados em cada mês, ou a uma taxa de crescimento muito pequena para ser detectada no período de um ano. Os microhabitats ocupados pelas espécies foram significativamente relacionados às suas preferências, mostrando que a localização espacial não acontece aleatoriamente. Bunodosoma caissarum, B. cangicum e Phyllactis flosculifera foram as espécies escolhidas para as análises genéticas. Cada uma delas teve duas populações amostradas, e as populações de B. caissarum foram também organizadas localmente em subgrupos. As três espécies apresentaram altos valores de diversidade genética e todas as populações apresentaram déficits de heterozigotos. Os valores de diferenciação genética encontrados para B. caissarum (? = 0.039) são significativos, considerando que a espécie apresenta larva planctônica e as populações amostradas estavam separadas por apenas 13 km. Além disso, foi encontrada evidência de estruturação microgeográfica para esta espécie. Bunodosoma cangicum apresentou valores baixos de estruturação genética (? = 0.021) e P. flosculifera valores moderados (? = 0.080). Phyllactis flosculifera e B. cangicum apresentam populações distantes (1000 km e 1300 km, respectivamente) geneticamente conectadas, o que sugere que ambas as espécies tenham larvas com capacidade de dispersão em grandes distâncias. Todos os indivíduos das populações estudadas das três espécies apresentaram genótipos únicos, o que sugere que nenhuma delas tenha reprodução assexuada / Abstract: We studied the richness of species, abundance, proportion of juveniles, growth, microhabitat selection, genotypic diversity, genetic variability and structure of intertidal sea anemones between August 2005 and July 2006. Five species were found and their populations were studied in São Sebastião, SP: Bunodosoma caissarum, B. cangicum, Anthopleura cascaia, Actinia bermudensis and Phyllactis flosculifera. The most abundant ones were Bunodosoma caissarum, B. cangicum and Anthopleura cascaia. These three species showed important oscillations in their populations sizes, a pattern that was not expected considering the long life of sea anemones. Bunodosoma caissarum and B. cangicum showed small and continuous recruitment, while A. bermudensis and A. Cascaia presented a bigger number of juveniles mainly in the spring. A clear pattern of growth was not observed for any of the species studied, probably due to the variation in populations¿ size during the study or it could have been caused by a growth rate too small to be detected in one year time. The microhabitats occupied by all five species were related to their preferences, indicating that the spatial distribution found was not at random. Bunodosoma caissarum, B. cangicum and P. flosculifera were also genetically analyzed. Each one of them had two populations sampled, and the ones of B. caissarum were sampled in subgroups following spatial distribution in situ. All the species showed high levels of genetic diversity and all the populations presented a deficit of heterozygotes. The values of genetic differentiation found for B. caissarum (? = 0.039) are significant given the long-lived planktonic larva of the species and the small distance between the samples (13 km) and we also found evidence of microgeographic structuring in this species. Bunodosoma cangicum showed low levels of genetic structuring (? = 0.021) while P. flosculifera presented a moderate value of structuring (? = 0.080). Phyllactis flosculifera and B. cangicum present distant populations (1000 km and 1300 km apart, respectively) genetically connected suggesting that both species have larvae capable of good dispersal distances. All of the individuals of the three species showed unique genotypes, suggesting that none of them have asexual reproduction / Mestrado / Ecologia / Mestre em Ecologia

Marines are able to associate those images with urban development, a set of urban equipment which brings out a great amount of economical, social and touristic benefits to the region where it is implanted. Brazil, a country with tropical weather and more than 8500 km of coast line, does not rely on correspondent nautical structures to the enormous potential that it presents. This work tries to articulate reflections that lead to this reality. This research aims at identifying the main multidisciplinary knowledge about national maritime and the structures of nautical support, the conditions needed to its implantation and its varied possible interferences. It also investigates the available resources, the environment team, the legislation, the civil society performance, the NGOs, the District Attorney, the insecurity of licensed agents, as well as assessing the consequences of those interferences when planning is being developed, having the implantation of a shore structure designed to nautical support in view Marine. This is a qualitative and quantitative research concerning data collection. As to the means, it is bibliographical, exploratory, descriptive, historical and dialectic. One can observe the presence of the studied items in the Saco da Ribeira reurbanization case study, which focus the Golden Port Marine implantation. The achieved objectives allow the urbanist, through the science of possible obstacles, to find ways to overcome them, as a greater number of Marines become adopted as vectors of sustainable urban development. / Debater os esportes náuticos traz à mente imagens de beleza, ação e liberdade. Marinas permitem associar essas imagens ao desenvolvimento urbano, sendo equipamentos urbanos que trazem consigo enorme conjunto de benefícios turísticos, econômicos e sociais à região onde se implantam. O Brasil, com mais de 8500 km de costas e clima tropical, não conta com estruturas náuticas em número correspondente ao enorme potencial que se apresenta. Este trabalho buscou lançar reflexões que conduzam a esta realidade. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivos, identificar os principais conhecimentos multidisciplinares sobre a maritimidade nacional e as estruturas de apoio náutico; demonstrar as condições necessárias à sua implantação e as diversas interferências possíveis, os recursos disponíveis, o tema ambiental, a legislação, a atuação da sociedade civil, as ONGs, o Ministério Público, as obrigações do Estado e a insegurança dos agentes licenciadores; avaliar as conseqüências destas interferências quando se desenvolve o planejamento visando à implantação de uma estrutura de orla destinada ao apoio náutico - Marina. A pesquisa foi quali-quantitativa na coleta de dados e interpretação que buscou sempre uma conexão com o objeto de estudo. Quanto aos meios, ela foi bibliográfica, exploratória, descritiva, histórica e dialética. A presença dos itens estudados pode ser encontrada no estudo do caso da reurbanização do Saco da Ribeira em Ubatuba, focando ali a implantação da Marina Golden Port. Os objetivos alcançados permitem que através da ciência dos possíveis obstáculos, o urbanista possa encontrar meios de superá-los, passando a adotar em maior número, as marinas como vetores de desenvolvimento urbano sustentável.

O Parque consiste uma pequena ilha (Laje de Santos) com vários parcéis rochosos submersos. O substrato é composto por rochas graníticas cobertas por algas e várias espécies de invertebrados. Desde 1993, foi declarada como área de proteção marinha e desde então o local é de particular interesse, pois é a única área totalmente fechada para a pesca na região mais povoada e desenvolvida do país. Uma lista com 196 espécies de peixes recifais registradas é apresentada para o Parque Estadual Marinho da Laje de Santos. A maioria das espécies tem ocorrência comum a todo o Atlântico Ocidental tropical ou ocorre nos dois lados do Oceano Atlântico. Uma parte menor das espécies tem distribuição em comum com os recifes rochosos temperados da Patagônia ou é endêmica ao Sudeste do Brasil. Moringua edwardsi, Antennarius multiocellatus, Scorpaena dispar, Aulostomus strigosus, Lutjanus buccanella, Mulloidichthys martinicus and Halichoeres penrosei tem aqui seu limite merional de distribuição estendido ao Estado de São Paulo. Há uma clara diferença na contribuição dos fatores abióticos para a estruturação da comunidade de peixes recifais. A profundidade foi o fator que mais influenciou a riqueza de espécies e abundância de indivíduos, apresentação uma clara distinção ambiental entre raso e fundo, com um decréscimo da riqueza e abundância conforme o aumento da profundidade. A complexidade do habitat também foi um fator de influência na comunidade, sendo a riqueza e abundância correlacionada com maior complexidade. Entretanto, esta relação só foi significativa na menor profundidade avaliada. A exposição às ondas não se correlacionou com nenhum dos descritores da comunidade utilizados neste estudo. Aparentemente os efeitos do hidrodinamismo em recifes rochosos se manifesta em escalas espaciais maiores entre a costa e ilhas com diferentes distâncias da costa. Espécies de diferentes categorias tróficas não respondem da mesma maneira a estes fatores. Herbívoros vagueadores são afetados pela profundidade, herbívoros territoriais pela complexidade e pela exposição a ondas, enquanto que planctívoros são afetados pela complexidade do habitat e em menor extensão pela profundidade. Análises de espécies filogeneticamente relacionadas sugerem que ocorre partição de nicho, aparentemente mediada pela capacidade de natação em resposta ao grande dinamismo que ocorre nas zonas rasas. A água fria oriunda de eventos de reesurgência foi um fator de redução da abundância e número de espécies capazes de extender sua distribuição batimétrica para as zonas mais fundas, desencadeando respostas comportamentais específicas em algumas espécies como a formação de densos cardumes na camada superficial durante os eventos de ressurgência. Herbívoros vagueadores e onívoros foram os grupos tróficos que foram particularmente afetados pela intrusão de água fria. Em geral, espécies com alta capacidade de mobilidade evitam a camada de água fria abaixo da termoclina durante o verão e espécies de pequena capacidade de mobilidade ou extremamente territoriais não alteram sua abundância em resposta estes eventos / Abstract: The Laje de Santos State Marine Park is located on the southeastern coast of Brazil, 36 km off the city of Santos, São Paulo State. It consists of an uninhabited islet and several sparse rocky reefs with extensive sand bottoms in between. The subtidal substrate is composed of granitic boulders of varying sizes and shapes. The rocky substrate is mainly covered with patches of algae and several species of sessile invertebrates. Since 1993 the Laje de Santos Island was declared a protected area. The area is of particular interest as this is the only Marine Protected Area totally closed to fishing in the most populated and developed region of Brazil. A check-list containing 196 species of reef fishes recorded at the Laje de Santos Marine State Park is presented. Most of them occur along the tropical western Atlantic or occur on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. A minor part ranges to the temperate rocky reefs of Patagonia or are endemics to southeastern Brazil. Moringua edwardsi, Antennarius multiocellatus, Scorpaena dispar, Aulostomus strigosus, Lutjanus buccanella, Mulloidichthys martinicus and Halichoeres penrosei have here their ranges extended southward to the São Paulo coast. There is a clear difference among the contributions of each abiotic factors analyzed in the reef fish community structure. Depth was the most influent factor on species richness and abundance, presenting a clear distinction between shallow and deep zones with a decrease of both factors with depth increase. Habitat complexity also had an influence in the community, being species richness and abundance correlated with higher complexity. However, this relationship was significant on the shallower evaluated depth only. Exposition to wave surge does not correlate with any of the community descriptors used in this study. Apparently, hydrodynamics effects on rocky reefs manifest only at larger spatial scales like between the shore and islands. Species on different trophic categories do not respond the same way to these factors. Vagrant herbivores are affected by depth; territorial herbivores by habitat complexity and marginally by exposition, and planktivorous are affected mostly by habitat complexity and in less extension by depth. Analyses of phylogenetically related species suggest that niche partitioning occur, apparently mediated by swimming capacity in response to higher hydrodynamic forces occurring in shallow water. Cold water derived from upwelling events was a further factor reducing species richness and abundance, triggering specific behavioral responses in some species such as the formation of tight packed schools in the surface layer during upwelling. Vagrant herbivores and omnivores were the trophic groups most affected by upwelling. In general, species with high mobility capacity avoid the cold-water layer below the thermocline during summer and species with limited mobility capacity do not change their abundance is response to these events / Mestrado / Ecologia / Mestre em Ecologia

Vindkraft och lokala förankringsprocesser : Perspektiv på deltagande, förståelse och acceptans / Wind Power and Local Consultation Processes : Perspectives on Participation, Understanding, and Acceptance

Mels, Sanna January 2016 (has links)
This study examines different meanings attached to and practices adopted during Swedish local consultation processes on offshore wind power projects. It analyses the role played by those processes in a democratic planning context, as well as the ways in which they are implemented. It also identifies overarching process models. The study is informed by theories on democracy, planning, participation, communication, and media. The empirical material comprises three case studies, each examining experiences of local consultation processes for wind power projects that led to differences in local reception. Methodologically, the study triangulates analyses of semi-structured interviews, documents and news articles. The results show that, in a Swedish context, the role of local consultation processes is to create legitimacy and trust in the process and planning decisions. The complex dynamics become evident in the different forms of participation, knowledge generation, and communication employed during the consultation. This is shown to be the result of various democratic and planning attitudes to locally-situated interests and knowledge, which in turn lead to differing views on local understanding for and acceptance of project proposals. The study develops three schematic models that correspond to different types of consultation processes. An important conclusion is that the content and form of local consultation processes depends on the agency of several actors on different scales. They are not simple pre-designed by project planners, but the result of a far more complex interaction between a host of local actors, including officials, local media, and local communities. The categorisation of different local consultation processes could contribute to awareness about the implications of various ways of working with large-scale projects from local perspectives. / I den här avhandlingen undersöks lokala förankringsprocesser med ett särskilt fokus på havsbaserade vindkraftsprojekt. Diskussionen uppehåller sig vid frågor om förankringsprocessens roll i en svensk planeringskontext, samt hur olika utformningar av processen kan påverka det lokala mottagandet. Studien visar att förankringsprocesser ytterst handlar om legitimitet och tillit. I praktiken förekommer en stor variation, komplexitet och dynamik i lokala förankringsprocesser. Det yttrar sig bland annat genom olika former av deltagande, kunskapsbyggande och kommunikation. Centralt i resonemangen är demokratiska och planeringsmässiga förhållningssätt till platsbundna intressen och kunskaper. På så sätt tydliggörs skillnader i synen på förståelse och lokal acceptans avseende ett projektförslag. Genom studien urskiljs också tre schematiska förankringsmodeller som belyser sådana skillnader. Förståelse för lokala förankringsprocesser har betydelse inte minst avseende påverkan på lokal acceptans för storskaliga projekt.
