Geoinformatics for Sustainable Urban Development
This book provides compelling new insights into how cities are attempting to address sustainability challenges via major applications of geospatial technology in an urban area. It elucidates the role of geospatial techniques such as GIS and GNSS, including remote sensing in urban management, and covers the theory and practice of urban sustainability transitions. It provides case studies and contextualised tools for the governance of urban transitions to present various applications of geospatial techniques in an urban environment. Features: Covers hands-on approaches on quantitative measures of urban analytics Focuses on sustainability issues in urban planning and development Includes pertinent global case studies for implementation of urban planning practices Reviews the inter-relationship between smart cities and sustainable development This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers, and professionals in GIS, urban sciences, and geography.
From Dichotomies to Dialogues
Urbanism is a way of thinking and acting needed for sustainable development; urbanists are becoming inter- and transdisciplinary, bringing science, technology, and design into their field. As the world is in a cascading of crises related to, e.g., health, energy, food, and water, as well as issues of, e.g., traffic, housing, and services, integrated approaches become increasingly relevant as most of these challenges are related. Having a holistic urbanism viewpoint is the path to resilience and sustainability. Here, we are not referring to a longer list of notions but particularly encouraging dialogues between (possibly perceived) conflicting discourses. This book is the proceedings of the 14th IFoU conference, a stepping stone towards a new culture of working together. It includes papers in five tracks representing five types of debates over a set of dichotomies: “Urban-rural Integration” and “Areas In-Between” The City is an Object and a City is in Transition Political Ecology and Adaptive and Transformative Framework Metropolization and the Right to the City Human-centred and Nature-based Approaches in Cities

Himalaya: Mountains of Destiny
This book highlights the different ways of seeing and engaging with the natural world and underscores the need to acknowledge and honour the ways that indigenous peoples have done for generations. Mountain regions occupy about one-fourth of the Earth's terrestrial surface and they are home to almost one-tenth of the global population and offer goods and services to more than half of humanity. Consequently, they received attention at the highest level during the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro's “Earth Summit”. Mountain environments are crucial to the survival of global ecosystems, many of them are experiencing degradation in terms o...
Forest Dynamics and Conservation
This book unveils forestry science and its policy and management that connect past and present understanding of forests. The aggregated knowledge is presented to cover the approaches adopted in studying forest structure, its growth, functioning, and degradation, especially in the context of the surrounding environment. The application of advance computation, instrumentation, and modelling has been elaborated in various chapters. Forest ecosystems are rapidly changing due to forest fires, deforestation, urbanization, climate change, and other natural and anthropogenic drivers. Understanding the dynamics of forest ecosystems requires contemporary methods and measures, utilizing modern tools and big data for developing effective conservation plans. The book also covers discussion on policies for sustainable forestry, agroforestry, environmental governance, socio-ecology, nature-based solutions, and management implication. It is suitable for a wide range of readers working in the field of scientific forestry, policy making, and forest management. In addition, it is a useful material for postgraduate and research students of forestry sciences.
