Abstract:

This study explores the significance for practitioners of taking their therapeutic work outside of the traditional therapy room, typically into nature spaces, parks or gardens. Attention is paid to the notion of the therapeutic frame and relevant ecopsychology theory. While there is substantial literature around ecotherapy and the benefits of nature to wellbeing, there is relatively little concerning working as a psychotherapist outdoors. The purpose of this research therefore was to address the question of what it is like to take a therapeutic practice out of doors and the potential challenge

Abstract:

This study elucidates the underlying relationships for the distribution of oak landcover on bedrock and soil orders in two counties in Texas and one in Oklahoma. ESRI's ArcGis and ArcMap was used to create surface maps for Denton and Coke Counties, Texas and Choctaw County, Oklahoma. Attribute tables generated in GIS were exported into a spreadsheet software program and frequency tables were created for every formation and soil order in the tri-county research area. The results were both a visual and numeric distribution of oaks in the transition area between the eastern hardwood forests and

Abstract:

The Irwin River catchment, located in the central western region of Western Australia, has been the scene of significant geomorphological change over both historical and geological timescales. This thesis focuses on the most recent of these changes, the anthropogenic imprint, through the development of a catchment-scale understanding of system behaviour. Analysis and modelling of changes in the hydrological behaviour of the system indicates that while the Irwin River has displayed a natural susceptibility to large flood events, these have been exacerbated by the widespread clearing of native v

The sense of connectedness between people and nature appears to be the common ground between these two approaches, and it is recommended that experiential as well as cognitive elements of the relationship should be recognised.

This setting is in a single movement, approximately twenty minutes in duration, consisting of fifteen distinct sections.

Abstract:

Many of the anticipated increased occurances of natural hazards are not only a consequence of climate change, but rather of rapid and widespread land cover change and the subsequent loss of the buffering capacity provided by healthy ecosystems against natural hazards. Unplanned and unmanaged developments in informal settlements limit government’s ability to mitigate and manage, pointing towards natural resources as being integral for vulnerable communities in developing countries to cope with and mitigate flood disasters.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates why human poverty and environmental degradation still exist to the extent that they do in a world where there appears to be sufficient scientific and social knowledge to reduce them considerably. It asserts that the reason they continue to exist on such a large scale is because their root cause - a mistaken understanding of humanity's role in creation - has not been sufficiently examined. Humanity's mistaken understanding of ourselves as the Cartesian lords of creation is addressed by introducing t

Abstract:

Dans cette étude, la composition taxonomique, la structure spatiale et les ressources végétales naturelles prélevées dans les forêts de Kigwena et de Rumonge ont été analysées. Les deux forêts sont situées au Sud-Ouest du Burundi, dans une région de forte densité de population. L’objectif global de l’étude était d’élucider des éléments de l’écologie de la forêt dense de Kigwena et de la forêt claire de Rumonge en vue de leur conservation optimale. Les résultats montrent que les deux forêts sont floristiquement différentes malgré leur proximité géographique. Les types biologiques sont dominés p

Résumé<p>Afin de mieux comprendre l’anthropisation des paysages au Bénin, la dynamique de l’occupation du<p>sol a été évaluée en zone soudanienne (Nord-Bénin), soudano-guinéenne (Centre-Bénin) et guinéenne (Sud-Bénin) à partir de trois images satellitaires de type Landsat MSS 1972, TM 1986 et ETM+ 2006.<p>Ces trois zones reflètent assez bien le contexte environnemental et humain de la zone intertropicale.<p>L’objectif principal de la présente thèse est de quantifier la dynamique paysagère due à l’anthropisation des paysages de forêts-savanes à partir de la télédétection, du système d’informati
