Resumo Após uma década da aprovação do Estatuto da Cidade - marco regulatório da política urbana no Brasil inserido no ¢mbito das reformas políticas e jurídicas anunciadas pela Constituinte de 1988 - cabe debater se, onde, quando e de que forma este tem sido implementado no país. Este balanço não pode deixar de considerar as dimensões do processo político e social que deram origem ao Estatuto, assim como de que forma estas mesmas dimensões foram se transformando no país ao longo dos dez anos que nos separam de sua aprovação pelo Congresso Nacional.

Políticas de suelo urbano contiene 53 artículos seleccionados de Land Lines, la revista trimestral que reporta sobre los programas educativos, investigaciones y publicaciones del Instituto Lincoln. A partir de julio de 2011, los números completos han sido traducidos al español y, junto con todos los números de Land Lines en inglés, están disponibles para descarga gratuita en el sitio web del Instituto Lincoln, en www.lincolninst.edu/pubs.

Definir políticas de suelo es un gran desafío para los administradores urbanos de América Latina. Implica identificar e implementar los instrumentos más apropiados para financiar mejor a las ciudades, disminuir la informalidad, distribuir más equitativamente los servicios públicos y las cargas, y elegir las geotecnologías más apropiadas. Si bien existen numerosas iniciativas en la región, aún se evidencia cierto desconocimiento en lo que se refiere a conceptos y virtudes de todos los instrumentos.

This article traces the revenue category and legal concept of the Waste Land in Burma/Myanmar
from its original application by the British colonial apparatus in the nineteenth century, to its
later use in tandem with Burma Army counterinsurgent tactics starting in the 1960s, and finally
to the 2012 land laws and current issues in international investment. This adaptation of colonial
ideas about territorialization in the context of an ongoing civil war offers a new angle for under-

This Law amends some articles provided by the Law on hilly and mountainous areas (Official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia 12/2002, 32/2002, 117/2003, 42/2005, 90/2005 and 80/2008).Changes are related to the issues defining the income tax that is realized on local self-government held areas of the Republic of Croatia.

Risk-sensitive land use planning is
vital for sustainable economic development and effective
Disaster Risk Management (DRM). Urban development programs
should adopt risk-sensitive land use planning to encourage
resilient development guiding the growth of people, assets
and services within and away from hazardous zones. Many East
Asia and the Pacific (EAP) countries have national land use
policy and local plans which incorporate risk assessments;

One area of weakness in current
agricultural policy work in Vietnam is the lack of a clear
understanding of both the private profitability of farmers
for different crop activities and the social profitability
of such activities. Agricultural performance is thus gauged
in physical terms (i.e. yields and the volume of aggregate
output) rather than in financial or economic terms. This has
hampered efforts to compare and contrast the impacts and

The report utilises four case studies of shared management of different environmental assets that are in private, charitable, local and national public ownership. It identifies some of the benefits of shared management, the success factors that make collaborative approaches work, and the particular role of intermediaries in the process.This work was undertaken as part of the Clore Social Leadership Programme.

Intensity Analysis has become popular as a top-down hierarchical accounting framework to analyze differences among categories, such as changes in land categories over time. Some aspects of interpretation are straightforward, while other aspects require deeper thought. This article explains how to interpret Intensity Analysis with respect to four concepts. First, we illustrate how to analyze whether error could account for non-uniform changes. Second, we explore two types of the large dormant category phenomenon. Third, we show how results can be sensitive to the selection of the domain.

A one year field trial was carried out on three adjacent unfertilised plots; an 18 year old grassland, a 14 year old established Miscanthus crop, and a 7 month old newly planted Miscanthus crop. Measurements of N2O, soil temperature, water filled pore space (WFPS), and inorganic nitrogen concentrations, were made every one to two weeks. Soil temperature, WFPS and NO3− and NH4+ concentrations were all found to be significantly affected by land use.
