A geodiversidade, tratando-se dos elementos naturais abióticos do planeta possibilitaram o desenvolvimento das sociedades ao fornecer recursos naturais, garantindo ainda a sustentabilidade da biodiversidade. Dessa forma, estratégias de conservação vêm sendo desenvolvidas para conhecer, valorizar e proteger esse patrimônio natural. A Região Metropolitana do Cariri (RMC), Ceará, instituída em de 2009, é composta por 9 municípios que apresentam consideráveis índices de crescimento populacional, correlatos níveis de expansão urbana e ocupação de áreas outrora classificáveis como ambientalmente conservadas, dotadas de significativa geodiversidade. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar e discutir um inventário da geodiversidade presente na RMC, etapa sine qua non para a proposição de estratégias de geoconservação específicas e exequíveis. Metodologicamente, em gabinete foram realizadas análises e levantamentos bibliográficos e cartográficos sobre as temáticas e a RMC. Em campo foram identificadas áreas significativas dentro de cada município e, por fim, em laboratório, sendo cartografados os dados de campo em consonância com as análises de gabinete. Assim, apresenta-se um inventário da geodiversidade da RMC, o qual, discutido e retrabalhado, poderá subsidiar novas estratégias para sua geoconservação.Palavras-chave: Patrimônio Natural.

In wealthiest countries, urban sprawl and peri-urban agricultural landscapes are strictly interconnected issues, with dispersed urban expansion causing inherent land-use conflicts. Interpreting latent socioeconomic processes at the base of peri-urban agriculture in southern Europe may benefit from a thorough analysis of metropolitan dynamics of growth and change, considering together morphological and functional issues. The approach proposed in this study is intended to provide an overview of new strategies for food production in highly fragmented landscapes, investigating the point of view of local actors operating in the primary sector. A preliminary survey carried out in the Athens' metropolitan region, Greece, provides a knowledge base to identify apparent and latent trends in peri-urban farming and the mutual implications for farmers and citizens.

English: Rapid population growth is one of the major causes of environmental degradation. In fact, as a result of increase in human population, there are phenomena such as expansion in agriculture, urbanization, intensive industrialization etc. which play an important role in environmental degradation and ecological imbalance. Ghazipur is a district located in the Ganges River basin in the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh, whose district headquarters is Ghazipur. Its latitudinal range is between 25 ° 19′ and 25 ° 54′ and longitudinal 83 ° 4′ and 83 ° 58 ′, covering an area of ​​3577 square kilometers. According to the 2011 census, the total population of the district is 3620268. The subject matter of this research paper has been studied mainly on the basis of secondary data. For the construction of the map, then MSP Excel 2016 has been used for the analysis of data and data. The census data has been obtained from the Indian Census 2011. The fast growing population in India is considered as the main reason for the increasing pressure on the country's extremely limited natural resources due to the ever increasing population due to which the sustainable capacity of the environment is saturated and the gap between human need and ecological balance Is getting older Development of technology and technology is desirable to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population, yet as a result of technological and technological development, environmental exploitation and exploitation of natural resources has taken place at a rapid pace which is our industrial development, urban expansion agriculture This is reflected in the development and expansion of the area and the development of the means of transport and communication. Although development of all these aspects is necessary, in order to develop the present generation, we must also keep in mind the needs of future generations so that the concept of sustainable development can be realized.   Hindi: तीव्र जनसंख्या वृद्धि पर्यावरणीय ह्रास प्रमुख कारणों में से एक है । वास्तव में मानव जनसंख्या में वृद्धि के परिणाम स्वरूप कृषि क्षेत्रों में विस्तार, नगरीकरण, गहन औद्योगिकरण आदि   परिघटनाएं  होती हैं  जो पर्यावरण  अवनयन एवं पारिस्थिति की असंतुलन में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाती हैं। गाजीपुर उत्तर प्रदेश के पूर्वी हिस्से में गंगा नदी द्रोणी में अवस्थित एक जिला है जिसका जिला मुख्यालय गाजीपुर है । इसका अक्षांशीय विस्तार 25° 19′और 25° 54′एवं देशांतरीय 83° 4′और  83° 58′ के बीच है जिसका क्षेत्रफल 3577  वर्ग किलोमीटर है। जनपद की कुल जनसंख्या सन 2011 की जनगणना के अनुसार 3620268है। मुख्य रूप से द्वितीयक आंकड़ों के आधार पर इस शोध पत्र  के विषय वस्तु का अध्ययन किया गया है। मानचित्र के निर्माण के लिए  ArcGIS 10.1 एवं आंकड़ों के विश्लेषण के लिए एम० एस० एक्सेल 2016 का प्रयोग किया गया है। जनगणना संबंधी आंकड़े भारतीय जनगणना 2011 से प्राप्त किया गया है। लगातार बढ़ती जनसंख्या के कारण देश की अति सीमित प्राकृतिक संसाधनों पर बढ़ता दबाव के प्रमुख कारण के रूप में भारत में तेज गति से बढ़ती जनसंख्या को माना जाता है जिसके कारण पर्यावरण की वहनीय क्षमता संतृप्त होती जाती है  एवं मानवीय आवश्यकता एवं पारिस्थितिकी संतुलन के बीच  खाई बड़ी होती जा रही है। तीव्र गति से बढ़ती हुई जनसंख्या की आवश्यकताओं को पूरा करने के लिए  तकनीक एवं प्रौद्योगिकी का विकास वांछनीय है फिर भी तकनीकी एवं प्रौद्योगिकी के विकास के परिणाम स्वरूप पर्यावरणीय शोषण एवं प्राकृतिक संसाधनों का दोहन तीव्र गति से हुआ है जो कि हमारे औद्योगिक विकासए नगरी विस्तार कृषि क्षेत्र में विकास एवं विस्तार तथा यातायात एवं संचार के माध्यमों के विकास के रूप में  परिलक्षित हो रहा है। यद्यपि  इन सभी पहलुओं का विकास आवश्यक है फिर भी हमें वर्तमान पीढ़ी  के विकास करने के क्रम में भविष्य में आने वाली पीढ़ियों की आवश्यकताओं  को भी निरंतर संज्ञान में रखना चाहिए जिससे कि धारणीय विकास की संकल्पना साकार हो सके।

Economic Downturns

Between the 1970s and the 1990s, cities in Southern Europe experienced a progressive delocalisation of population, settlements and activities over larger regions. Economic downturns have increasingly influenced more recent waves of metropolitan growth, shaping differentiated patterns of urban change. While some cities evolved towards accelerated population dynamics in central districts responding to re-urbanisation impulses, other agglomerations were intrinsically bounded in a sort of ‘late suburbanisation’, with demographic shrinkage of both inner districts and rural areas, and uneven expansion of suburban population. By providing a comprehensive interpretation of the socioeconomic mechanisms underlying recent urban expansion, this study illustrates a diachronic analysis of population dynamics over multiple spatial scales and time frames in a metropolitan region of Southern Europe (Athens, Greece) between 1999 and 2019. Natural population balance was investigated vis à vis selected territorial indicators using descriptive, inferential and multivariate statistics. Results of the analysis identify different social forces underlying suburban population growth during economic expansion (2000s) and recession (2010s), evidencing a distinctive response of local communities to economic downturns that depends mostly on the background context (affluent versus disadvantaged neighbourhoods). Given the multiplicity of territorial dimensions involved in urban growth, our findings highlight how economic downturns distinctively shape metropolitan development based on locally differentiated demographic dynamics.

<p class="BodyA">South Manokwari Regency is a new autonomous region in West Papua Province with abundant natural resources. As a new autonomous region South Manokwari Regency will be experiencing significant population growth. Population growth along with development and modernization will give burden to electricity demand. Alternatively, electricity can be provided with geothermal resources in Momiwaren District. Based on survey conducted by the government through the Geology Resources Centre in 2009, the reservoir temperature of the geothermal sources is 84<sup>o</sup>C with non volcanic geothermal system. Thus, the geothermal resources in South Manokwari Regency could be developed into binary cycle electric generator.</p>

The spatial mismatch between population growth and settlement expansion is at the base of current models of urban growth. Empirical evidence is increasingly required to inform planning measures promoting urban containment in the context of a stable (or declining) population. In these regards, per-capita indicators of land-use change can be adopted with the aim at evaluating long-term sustainability of urbanization processes. The present study assesses spatial variations in per-capita indicators of land-use change in Rome, Central Italy, at five years (1949, 1974, 1999, 2008, and 2016) with the final objective of quantifying the mismatch between urban expansion and population growth. Originally specialized in agricultural productions, Rome’s metropolitan area is a paradigmatic example of dispersed urban expansion in the Mediterranean basin. By considering multiple land-use dynamics, per-capita indicators of landscape change delineated three distinctive waves of growth corresponding with urbanization, suburbanization, and a more mixed stage with counter-urbanization and re-urbanization impulses. By reflecting different socioeconomic contexts on a local scale, urban fabric and forests were identified as the ‘winner’ classes, expanding homogeneously over time at the expense of cropland. Agricultural landscapes experienced a more heterogeneous trend with arable land and pastures declining systematically and more fragmented land classes (e.g., vineyards and olive groves) displaying stable (or slightly increasing) trends. The continuous reduction of per-capita surface area of cropland that’s supports a reduced production base, which is now insufficient to satisfy the rising demand for fresh food at the metropolitan scale, indicates the unsustainability of the current development in Rome and more generally in the whole Mediterranean basin, a region specialized traditionally in (proximity) agricultural productions.

In The Ultimate Resource (1981, 1996), and in many other publications over the last several decades, Julian Simon put forth controversial views regarding the connection between natural resource scarcity, population growth, and economic progress. Simon argued, in contrast to those espousing the limits to growth, that natural resources were not getting scarcer, but more abundant, and that a large and growing population was an asset rather than a liability in the pursuit of economic growth.

Abstract Traditionally, ethnography is an enterprise based on face-to-face contact with research populations. Preventive measures designed to stop the spread of COVID-19, such as sheltering in place and maintaining social distance, have disrupted this important interaction and how anthropologists gather field data. New strategies are needed to overcome this restriction, especially when our research involves Latinx diasporic populations. Drawing on our current research that, to one degree or another, involves Latinx refugee, immigrant, and migrant populations, we make recommendations for using different media for maintaining virtual social contact and interviewing. Trust and rapport are key components of ethnographic research, and it is important to maintain a human connection within one’s field site, through this pandemic and beyond.

This research is based on the work of the Basque contemporary artist Mikel Diez Alaba and his series called Mínimos, which gathers up to 144 small size pieces made out of acrylic paint applied on printed images. This collection was displayed on the Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao during 2014. The main objective of this paper is to reach a more integral conception of conservation –based on the latest theories regarding heritage-, focusing on material aspects and the conceptual characteristics of the artwork, alike. Thereby, the working method in Mínimos series has been analyzed, as well as the presence of elements linked to the natural heritage. All this, taken together allows the establishment of new strategies towards the conservation of contemporary artworks.
