Earth observation data can provide valuable assessments for monitoring the spatial extent of (un)sustainable urban growth of the world’s cities to better inform planning policy in reducing associated economic, social and environmental costs. Western Australia has witnessed rapid economic expansion since the turn of the century founded upon extensive natural resource extraction. Thus, Perth, the state capital of Western Australia, has encountered significant population and urban growth in response to the booming state economy.

Section 1 shall be amended to add the following wording: “Land-use planning of urban territory shall be aimed at ensuring environmental security, sanitary, epidemiological and technical safety of urban areas, improvement of the state of natural environment, historical and cultural heritage, conservation of natural ecosystems, prevention of ecological and technological disasters and protection of public health”.

Amends: Regional Law No. 17 “On general land-use planning scheme of the city of Moscow”. (2011-10-26)

After the Doi Moi (‘renovation’) reforms in Vietnam from 1986, land ownership rules were adjusted, effectively terminating former land collectivisation efforts. While land ownership remained fully under the control of the state, a 1993 land law conferred 20-year leaseholds to most farmers. They could now utilize farm land individually, and sell, swap and mortgage the land in a situation similar to private ownership. These leaseholds are now expiring and a new 2013 land law is in the making.

Women face many problems with regard to land inheritance and land rights in Kenya. Individual and community land ownership do not favour women. The reason for this is that ownership of land is patrilineal, which means that fathers share land amongst sons, while excluding daughters. This practice is traditionally widespread and partly accepted although it goes against the interest of women and is prohibited by the constitution.

This study is the first to assess land subsidence in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Land subsidence simulations were based on a fully calibrated groundwater (GW) flow model developed using a coupled surface–subsurface modelling system. Subsidence is predicted to occur as a result of deep aquifer compaction due to excessive GW abstraction. The north and north-east areas at the periphery of the GW basin are hotspots for this subsidence. The estimated subsidence is most sensitive to changes in land cover within the recharge areas.

This Regulation amends some parts of the Regulation defining areas with natural or other specific constraints (Official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia 34/2015, 65/2015 and 91/2015).Changes are related to the local self-government and their powers and duties in relation to the status of affiliation with areas with natural or other special restrictions that has to be established; and names and official denominations of urban areas that are included in the group of the above mentioned areas with natural or other specific constraints that are located on the territory of the Republic of Croa

El presente Decreto Supremo constituye la Comisión Consultiva del Sector Saneamiento del Ministerio de Vivienda, Construcción y Saneamiento, con el encargo de absolver consultas o emitir opiniones en temas de política y asuntos de competencia del sector saneamiento, expidiendo pronunciamientos de carácter no vinculante y siempre que el Ministro lo considere necesario; así como de promover el diálogo en asuntos del referido sector entre el Estado y la sociedad.

Background: Movement behaviour is fundamental to the ecology of animals and their interactions with other organisms, and as such contributes to ecosystem dynamics. Waterfowl are key players in ecological processes in wetlands and surrounding habitats through predator-prey interactions and their transportation of nutrients and other organisms. Understanding the drivers of their movement behaviour is crucial to predict how environmental changes affect their role in ecosystem functioning.
