    Los análisis morfométricos realizados en la cuenca del Arroyo Grande indican que la misma tiene forma alargada, oval y oblonga, con pendientes abruptas en las cabeceras y moderadas en la zona de valle y desembocadura, con una superficie de 129,5 km². La vegetación esta compuesta por pastizales, turberas y bosques de Nothofagus pumilio y N. betuloides factibles de ser aprovechados comercialmente. La cuenca presenta una degradación de los ambientes naturales debido al impacto de especies exóticas, el aprovechamiento forestal no planificado y el turismo no regulado.

    Colombia, Latin America and the Caribbean

    Only 30 percent of land suitable for agriculture is utilized for crops (with significant regional variation). More than double the area suitable for pasture is used for livestock grazing, with negative environmental consequences. Although markets provide land access to poor and productive producers, they are not effective in transferring land from large to small producers, implying continuing concentration, driven largely by violence and displacement.

    This study, perhaps the first of its kind in this region, is based on a study that explores the practice of casual sex among truck drivers, and commercial sex workers in the border areas of the Baltic region at a point of time, and, uses this evidence to extrapolate the potential impact on the spread of HIV/AIDS in these countries. While the threat of an HIV/AIDS epidemic cannot be taken lightly in any country of the Europe and Central Asia region, four countries - Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia - stand out as being particularly vulnerable.

    Guatemala, Latin America and the Caribbean

    Poverty in Guatemala is high and deep. In 2000, over half of all Guatemalans lived in poverty. About 16 percent lived in extreme poverty. Available evidence suggests that poverty in Guatemala is higher than in other Central American countries. Although poverty has fallen over the past decade, its trend recently declined due to a series of economic shocks during 2001 and 2002. The drop of poverty incidence since 1990 is slightly slower than what would have been predicted given Guatemala's growth rates, suggesting that growth has not been particularly pro-poor.

    A common misconception in relation to common property situations is that the choice of the legal form will determine whether communal property institutions function well or not. The reality is that whether good, fair management and land administration takes place or not is often largely determined by issues like the following, which can undermine effective governance and land administration irrespective of which legal entity is used:

    • Do the majority of residents understand and agree with how land administration processes work?

    South Africa

    This paper is concerned primarily with the functions of land administration. Its
    purpose is to describe the current land administration practices as understood by
    traditional structures with a view to unpacking some of the components of the existing
    African tenure arrangements in KwaZulu-Natal. This, it is hoped, will help to create a
    base to understand how communal land systems operate, regardless of which structure
    governs them, in order to support practices that secure tenure effectively.

    Thailand

    In 1982 the population of Thailand was about 48 million and there was increasing pressure on land resources. This paper describes how the Department of Lands designed and implemented a 20 year Land Titling Program (LTP) to grant secure tenure to agricultural landholders. The success of the land-titling program in Thailand has been due to a number of factors. A major factor has been the clear vision for the project, the long-term plan to achieve this vision and the commitment of RTG and the key stakeholders to project implementation.
