Points Of View

The importance of horticulture around the large cities, called green belt (GB), or proximity food production area is related to its contribution to the provision of food as well as its role on social, cultural and ecological aspects. Geoscience and Remote sensing (GRS) are tools that should aid in gathering and updating the information to develop science-based management plans of this areas. Recently, the improvement in terms of spatial, temporal and radiometric resolutions has changed the performance and the approach to the horticulture remote sensing. In this work, we make a brief review on the literature exploring the use of GRS techniques in horticulture, and future trends in order to exploit the available techniques for efficient crop management in the way to improve territorial planning and management. Specifically we found a lack of academic production in this area. In addition we examine the importance of this landscape areas from different points of view (food security, health, ecology, etc.). A systematic revision of published studies on remote sensing on horticulture including different platforms, sensors and methodologies are briefly presented. Finally some aspect related with future trends are discussed.

Life On Earth

Sustained developments is the target of almost every modern water management policy. Sustainability is focused on human life and on the ecological quality of our environment. Both aspects are essential for life on earth. Within a river catchment area this means that well balanced relations have to be laid between human activities and ecological aspects in the involved areas. Policy analysis is especially looking for the most efficient way to analyse and to overcome bottlenecks. In The Netherlands project “The Aquatic Outlook” all these elements are worked out in a nationwide scale, providing the scientific base and policy analysis from which future water management plans can be derived.

Operational Information

Today, remote sensing data are an important source of operational information about the environment for thematic GIS, this data can be used for the development of water, forestry and agriculture management, in the ecology and nature management, with territorial planning, etc. To solve the problem of ensuring the effective use of the space activities’results in the Krasnoyarsk Territory a United Regional Remote Sensing Center was created. On the basis of the Center, a new satellite receiving complex of FRC KSC SB RAS was put into operation. It is currently receiving satellite data from TERRA, AQUA, Suomi NPP and FENG-YUN satellites. Within the framework in cooperation with the Siberian Regional Center for Remote Sensing the Earth, an archive of satellite data from domestic Resource-P and Meteor-M2 satellites was created. The work considers some features of softwaredevelopment and technological support tools for loading, processing and publishing remote sensing data. The product is created in the service-oriented paradigm based on geoportal technologies and interactive web-cartography. The focus in this article is paid to the peculiarities of implementing the software components of the web GIS, the efficient processing and presentation of geospatial data.

Abstract. The implementation of drought management plans contributes to reduce the wide range of adverse impacts caused by water shortage. A crucial element of the development of drought management plans is the selection of appropriate indicators and their associated thresholds to detect drought events and monitor the evolution. Drought indicators should be able to detect emerging drought processes that will lead to impacts with sufficient anticipation to allow measures to be undertaken effectively. However, in the selection of appropriate drought indicators, the connection to the final impacts is often disregarded. This paper explores the utility of remotely sensed data sets to detect early stages of drought at the river basin scale and determine how much time can be gained to inform operational land and water management practices. Six different remote sensing data sets with different spectral origins and measurement frequencies are considered, complemented by a group of classical in situ hydrologic indicators. Their predictive power to detect past drought events is tested in the Ebro Basin. Qualitative (binary information based on media records) and quantitative (crop yields) data of drought events and impacts spanning a period of 12 years are used as a benchmark in the analysis. Results show that early signs of drought impacts can be detected up to 6 months before impacts are reported in newspapers, with the best correlation–anticipation relationships for the standard precipitation index (SPI), the normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) and evapotranspiration (ET). Soil moisture (SM) and land surface temperature (LST) offer also good anticipation but with weaker correlations, while gross primary production (GPP) presents moderate positive correlations only for some of the rain-fed areas. Although classical hydrological information from water levels and water flows provided better anticipation than remote sensing indicators in most of the areas, correlations were found to be weaker. The indicators show a consistent behaviour with respect to the different levels of crop yield in rain-fed areas among the analysed years, with SPI, NDVI and ET providing again the stronger correlations. Overall, the results confirm remote sensing products' ability to anticipate reported drought impacts and therefore appear as a useful source of information to support drought management decisions.

Цель работы - изучить особенности загородного расселения в Калининском районе (вокруг Твери) для выявления фактической и прогнозной границы активной субурбанизации. Научная новизна исследования: представлена авторская методика картографического выявления границы зоны активной субурбанизации, в том числе выбор основного элемента загородного расселения для решения этой задачи. Актуальность исследования связана с тем, что процесс субурбанизации вокруг крупных городов, особенно в зоне влияния Москвы, идёт активно и возникает проблема определения реальной и прогнозной границы зоны активной субурбанизации. Это важная задача географии в интересах территориального планирования. The purpose of the work is to study the features of suburban settlement in the Kalininsky district (around Tver) to identify the actual and predicted boundaries of active suburbanization. Scientific novelty of the research: the author's method of cartographic identification of the border of the active suburbanization zone is presented, including the choice of the main element of suburban settlement for solving this problem. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the process of suburban settlement around large cities, especially in the zone of influence of Moscow, is going on actively and there is a problem of determining the real and predicted border of the zone of active suburbanization. This is an important task of geography in the interests of territorial planning.

Este trabalho objetivou analisar aspectos geoambientais de Caucaia, localizado no Estado do Ceará. O município vem apresentado nos últimos anos um elevado crescimento populacional, suscitando uma forte pressão sobre os recursos naturais, justificando assim a necessidade de se identificar as áreas mais e menos vulneráveis ambientalmente ao adensamento populacional, gerando com isto elementos para o planejamento territorial. Desse modo, procedeu-se a caracterização geoambiental criando os mapas de sistemas ambientais e de vulnerabilidade ambiental. Constatou-se que 21% do território têm alta vulnerabilidade à ocupação, sendo de 58% e 17%, respectivamente, os percentuais para os locais com média e baixa vulnerabilidade. Menciona-se que o planejamento territorial com base na compartimentação geoambiental surge como um importante delineador das condições organizacionais e da funcionalidade dos ambientes, tendo em vista que considera sempre suas características ambientais e sua dinâmica sócio-espacial de maneira integralizada.   A B S T R A C T   This study aimed to analyze geoenvironmental aspects of the city of Caucaia, located in the state of Ceará, Brazil. The municipality has presented in recent years a high population growth, raising a strong human pressure on natural resources, thus justifying the need to identify the most and least environmentally vulnerable areas to population density, generating elements for territorial planning. Thus, we proceeded to environmental characterization creating maps of environmental systems and environmental vulnerability Caucaia, scale 1:50,000, using, for both, the geosystemic theory and the use of remote sensing products, cartographic data and fieldwork. It was verified that 21% of the territory have high vulnerability to occupation, being 58% and 17%, respectively, the percentages for areas with medium and low vulnerability. It is mentioned that the territorial planning based on geoenvironmental compartmentation emerges as important eyeliner of the organizational conditions and functionality of environments, considering their environmental characteristics and socio-spatial dynamics in the integrated form.

Points Of View

Organizations are still confused about tacit knowledge principles, conceptualization and applications. In this chapter, authors approach how tacit knowledge can be valuable for practical decisions and implementations, from theoretical and practical points of view. Approaching from the theoretical view, tacit knowledge definition was discussed, as it results from a conceptual development already adopted for several decades. From practical analysis, actual and future trends arise, as its applications and influences were consolidated, in the perspective on associating tacit knowledge with explicit, for planning, designing and implementing real businesses solutions. Modern competitive features and propositions, such as big data, information technology insertion and startups entrepreneurships are also discussed, serving as an orientation for new studies, as tacit knowledge plays a differential role for new ages of value-aggregation arrays.

The diversity of cities, their systems and networks has greatly contributed to solving the problems of urban development and enhancing their role in the spatial development of the country. The article aims to show the need for diversity of cities, especially important for Russia due to its inherent differentiation, as the needs of cities of a certain type and category and the conditions of their formation and functioning. This makes the achievement of urban diversity one of the key goals of the state urban policy, ensuring the improvement of the territorial organization of Russia and its parts and improving the efficiency of its economy. The work is based on statistical data characterizing the dynamics of cities and their distribution over the territory; published works on geographical urban studies and socioeconomic development of Russia and its regions; on author’s experience in research of the cities and agglomerations, participation in the state examination of national economic projects, master plans of the large cities, territorial planning at country and regional levels. Historical, cartographic, statistical, comparative-geographical, typological, conceptual design methods are used. Multi-aspect consideration of the theme allowed to draw conclusions useful for successful state urban policy.
