This book is about the continuing life of Balinese culture and traditions currently under threat from unregulated economic development, mass tourism, and migration. Critical to this text are considerations surrounding the control of land and its improvements, as well as the success and failure of urban planning within the sphere of cultural conservation. The book argues that State planning systems are inappropriate in the Balinese context.

Compact City and Densification Strategies
ISBN: 9783838366951 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Compact City Model is considered one of the planning strategies that can contain the urban sprawl and develop more sustainable cities, in the environmental, social and economic dimensions. In this book, the Compact Model is analyzed in theory, by focusing on the claimed benefits of this strategy and also on the critics, as a base to investigate the empirical case of Gothenburg. The analysis of the planning system of the city shows the aim to achieve a denser urban form by applying the driving factors that characterised the Compact Model. At the same time, policies, public transport...

Reconnecting the Interrupted Landscape
ISBN: 9783838336527 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the late 20th century, a value-shift began to influence global political thinking, recognising the need for environmentally, socially and culturally sustainable resource development. This shift entailed moves away from thinking of nature and culture as separate entities - The former existing merely to serve the latter. Cultural landscape theory recognises nature as at once both natural, and as a cultural construct. As such, it may offer a framework through which to progress in the quest for sustainable development. This 2005 Masters thesis makes a contribution to that quest by...

Feedback on Public Housing Satisfaction in Nigeria
ISBN: 9783838380711 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Shelter by itself is not the only determinant of satisfactory housing. It is a unit which forms part of a whole range of systems that make up housing satisfaction. Current realities in developing nations suggest that the design and development of most government-built and private-rental urban housing have been based on developers standards rather than on users preferences and needs. Consequently, these housing schemes become irrelevant to the end users because of lack of adequate consideration given to the issue of appropriate shelter. The task confronting policy-makers, planners and...

ISBN: 9783838312187 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The highlands of northern Thailand are an example of a contradictory situation arising when a centralised government system extends its control to remote areas and clashes with traditional shifting cultivation practices.

This book is an outcome of a research which tries to...
