    Nowadays many seaside towns, economically based on marine tourism, need operations to reinvent and recovery their own image and to define a new strategy of urban development. The presence of the sea is of primary importance and it should be considered not only as an economic resource, but mainly as a strong element of identity that must interact with the urban landscape.

    The South African government provides access to agricultural land for people not adequately represented in the agricultural sector.  However, the government lacks sufficient funds and institutional infrastructure to provide post-settlement support to the settled developing farmers. A farmer-to-farmer mentorship programme between established and developing farm types has been identified as an institutional arrangement that could complement the government’s efforts.

    Open space (OS) is a key element in the provision of ecosystem services (ES) in urban environments. Under a land cover-land use perspective, cities are incorporating into the expansion process to different types of surfaces: sealed, paved surfaces and OS. The first corresponds to a land cover change while the second, which includes bare soil, grass, forest or any other type of non-sealed surface, corresponds to a land use change, without physical transformations. As a land use change OS is able to keep fundamental pre-existing ecological properties.

    Nel comparto dell’edilizia, si assiste a un enorme dispendio di energie e risorse. Ciononostante, a fronte di una crescente sensibilizzazione ai problemi dell’ambiente globale, gli operatori di questo comparto hanno individuato anche la necessità di fornire qualche contributo volto ad attenuare concretamente le problematiche ambientali. In un simile contesto, è scaturita l’esigenza di sviluppare BREEAM.

    Within the framework of the project „Flood Prevention and Nature Conservation in the Weisseritz area“ („HochNatur“),
    a method including landscape metrics was developed and applied to assess and to compare different land
    use scenarios with regard to flood prevention and nature conservation. For the analysis, two sub-catchments strongly
    differing in land use within the Weisseritz catchment (Eastern Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany) were selected. The

    RESUMEN Este trabajo analiza la influencia de algunas características espaciales sobre los precios por noche de casas rurales en Gran Canaria. Se estimó para ello un modelo de precios hedónicos que incluye en su formulación ciertos atributos espaciales de la casa, tales como el número de vecinos en un radio determinado. Estas variables fueron calculadas por medio de un Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG). También se analizaron otros factores incluidos tradicionalmente en estos modelos, como las características estructurales de la casa y la distancia a lugares de interés.

    Long-term erosion forecast can completely misinterpret in extreme events in plain regions. Flow paths are well
    represented in the plain using digital elevation models in the 1-m grid (DEM1). The scale of the erosion process
    models and the elevation models is comparable. With it instruments are available to improve the erosion simulation.
    Simulations, based on (R)USLE family and bigger grid width, are relevant for regional overviews, to the clarification
    of small scale relevant linear erosion forms, however, unsuitably.

    Metropolitan Santiago is one of the many Latin American cities which has been developed according to a spread model of urbanisation. This pattern has caused at least two types of consequences: economic and physical ones. The former is shown in the speculation of land value at the rural fringe of the metropolitan area which has low prices, these have suddenly increased after the normative changes in the land use, from rural to urban. The later shows location of massive low-income housing and commercial malls regardless connection to the urban fabric and spatial shaping of the existing city.
