Land is defined as a system engaged in generating biological productivity. It is the earth’s infrastructure for life. The rate and quality of production generated from the land depends on its major components, soil and its fertility. Soil organic matter, derived from the vegetation supported by a particular soil, is the major component that controls soil fertility.

Les terres3 peutvent se définir comme un système destiné à générer de la productivité biologique. C’est l’infrastructure naturelle qui supporte la vie sur la planète. La quantité et la qualité de cette production dépendent du principal composant de la terre : le sol et sa fertilité. La matière organique du sol, qui provient de la végétation portée par ce dernier, est le principal composant influençant la fertilité du sol.

La tierra se define como un sistema bioproductivo. Es la infraestructura terrestre para la vida. La tasa y la calidad de la producción generada por la tierra dependen de sus principales componentes, de los suelos y de su fertilidad. La materia orgánica del suelo, derivada de la vegetación que crece en un suelo determinado, es el principal componente que controla la fertilidad de éste.

This thesis is based on research conducted in the southern Kalahari region, South Africa among the San and Mier communities bordering Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It looks at the importance of natural resources to the San and Mier community groups and ascertains the extent of resource use and its value within broader livelihood portfolios. It also focuses on the cultural values of natural resources and interactions among institutions and actors and how these shape natural resource governance and livelihood outcomes.

O presente trabalho tem por objeto o estudo sistêmico das políticas habitacionais no Brasil, com enfoque na utilização do solo urbano. É destacada a atuação do Estado no incentivo a políticas específicas de financiamento a programas de promoção habitacional, programas esses que raramente escaparam do binômio desapropriação versus localização periférica, muitas vezes através de operações de conversão de solo rural em urbano.

Asia and the Pacific, for the purposes of this book, encompasses a vast territory extending from Mongolia in the north to New Zealand in the south; from the Cook Islands in the east to Kuwait in the west (Map 1). The environmental diversity of Asia and the Pacific is therefore vast, and is contrasted by the region’s coldest and hottest deserts, verdant tropical rainforests, extensive steppe, desert steppe, grassland and rangelands, mountains and plains.

More than two billion people depend on the world’s arid and semi-arid lands. Preventing land degradation and supporting sustainable development in drylands has major implications for food security, climate change and human settlement. This report, issued at the beginning of the United Nations Decade for Deserts and the Fight against Desertification, sets out a shared strategy by UN agencies to rise to the challenge of addressing the special needs of these vital zones.

A busca pela recuperação de valorizações Quando a ampliação e a reforma de uma cidade são bem estudadas, para atender a uma necessidade social , deve-se levar em conta que projetos (de urbanização) são uma fonte de riqueza e que os principais beneficiários são os proprietários. São eles que devem arcar com os custos de implantação das vias.

As the world reviews its progress in tackling global poverty and achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), drylands can no longer be ignored. Drylands account for more than a third of the world’s land surface and more than 2 billion of its people. Yet for too long, drylands and their inhabitants have been neglected in development processes.
