Abstract:

A crescente procura social por paisagens rurais, nomeadamente pelas suas funções não produtivas, tem sido evidente na região mediterrânica. Os urbanos tornaram-se novos utilizadores do espaço rural principalmente pelas actividades de recreio e como local de residência e para identificar quais os requisitos destas funções no âmbito da gestão da paisagem e do espaço rural torna-se necessário um conhecimento mais vasto no que respeita às preferências de paisagem destes utilizadores. O objectivo deste estudo é identificar as preferências de paisagem dos urbanos. Um questionário baseado em fotograf

Abstract:

Increasing human populations results in fast-growing urbanization. Natural and semi-natural landscapes are replaced with urban landscape features like roads, sidewalks, industrial and residential buildings. The remnants of the natural landscapes are left fragmented and are often managed by frequent mowing and trimming of the vegetation. This development has had a negative impact on pollinators such as bees and wasps. Bees and wasps are pollinating insects providing an ecosystem service that sustain the global food supply. Pollinators are important also in urban landscapes where their services

Abstract:

Amenity trees provide physical, social and economic benefits to people sharing their environment. To maintain the benefits that many people have come to expect of trees in their urban landscapes, a viable and dynamic tree population is required. To this end it is necessary to plant new trees or replace existing trees when they require removal. The challenge when replacing mature trees is not simply the process of planting a tree when one is removed, but of the continual replacement of the entire tree population in a planned and managed fashion. In urban landscapes this is not a natural process

Efforts to achieve urban sustainability include ecological practices within civic society. A prominent example of this is the voluntary stewardship of green urban spaces such as community gardening. People participating in these practices – so the argument goes – draw on social-ecological memory (SE-memory) – knowledge, experience, and practice of local ecosystem management. The present study scrutinises the components and implications of the concept of SE-memory.

Based on archival, library and ethnographic research, this thesis recasts the notion of 'everyday resistance' (as propounded by James Scott) in terms of the landscape and spatiality of an urban Indian squatter settlement in Malaysia. In postcolonial Malaysia, managing different and often competing ethnic and religious identities in a Furnivallian 'plural society' presents administrative problems as well as a resource for political legitimation. Arguably, this is most starkly embodied in 'squatter settlements', often perceived as potential sites of urban discontent and unrest. But squatter sett

With the majority of the water being consumed in agriculture, municipalities often obtain water supply needed for growth from agriculture.

This trend in agricultural-to-urban water transfers drives the question of how to strike a balance between agricultural and urban water needs in rapidly growing arid regions.

Master of Landscape Architecture<br>Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning<br>Jason Brody<br>It is easier for users to say that they frequent a park because they like the greenery than to say instead, that a park offers opportunities to meet or watch other people (Marcus, 1998).One of the main reasons people visit parks is to engage in both overt and covert social interaction (Gehl, 2010). Many people desire the opportunity to interact with others as a means of fulfilling their social well-being, but it is often unattainable in a civic space due to the lack of

Abstract:

The contribution of non-point source pollution to degrading surface water quality is considerable throughout Virginia and beyond. While research on agricultural best management practices in nutrient management and nutrient and soil stabilization has made progress in reducing agricultural contributions to nutrient and sediment loading of watersheds, little is known about how land covers of different vegetation representative of urban areas (e.g., bare soil versus turfgrass lawns versus urban forest) influence the potential for non-point source pollution. Ambient rainfall volumes were manipulat
