    In 2005, massive hurricanes battered communities along the Gulf Coast of the United States. In the aftermath, thousands of families who lived on land passed down to them informally by parents and grandparents learned that because they lacked clear formal title to their properties, they were ineligible for disaster assistance to rebuild their homes. Related title issues in other regions kept families from developing inherited lands and allowed predatory developers to use court-ordered partition sales to grab long-held properties for pennies on the dollar.

    Las campañas transcurridas entre 1879 y 1885 terminaron con la existencia autónoma de los pueblos indígenas de pampa y nord-patagonia y provocaron su desarticulación social. Sin embargo, desde fines del siglo XIX algunos grupos pudieron reagruparse en torno a determinados líderes y obtuvieron asignaciones oficiales de tierras para asentarse. Este artículo indaga sobre las modalidades de incorporación de las poblaciones indígenas al estado-nación, y analiza el proceso mediante el cual una familia indígena -los Yankamil residentes del ?lote 21?

    We propose a causal analysis framework to increase understanding of land-use change (LUC) and the reliability of LUC models. This health-sciences-inspired framework can be applied to determine probable causes of LUC in the context of bioenergy. Calculations of net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for LUC associated with biofuel production are critical in determining whether a fuel qualifies as a biofuel or advanced biofuel category under regional (EU), national (US, UK), and state (California) regulations.

    Case studies of social-ecological landscapes that consider local, spatially explicit land cover changes are necessary for the development of generalised knowledge on deforestation. This study focussed on two indigenous territories of eastern Panama that share the same settlement history, size and location but are perceived by local dwellers to differ in terms of land cover.

    Desde os primeiros recortes territoriais do grande Recife, as igrejas pontuam o cenário urbano com suas torres, seus adros e pátios, sendo fortes símbolos de reconhecimento e identificação de bairros da cidade. As igrejas e seus pátios e adros fizeram parte dos primeiros engenhos e sesmarias, depois freguesias, hoje bairros, conferindo uma certa ambiência urbana que não foge à regra sobre a forma de ocupação característica do Brasil colônia, foram e são espaços de convivência da sociedade das cercanias, constituindo hoje espaços públicos e laicos na maioria das vezes.

    Na representação da realidade, as implicações que o real traz para a ficção vão além da mera imitação. Na Literatura, o modo como se representa a realidade expressa, usualmente, a cosmovisão de uma determinada época. Isso é perceptível no modo realista de composição ficcional, que atinge seu ápice na segunda metade do século XIX, quando “o romance realista autêntico tem assumido a herança da tragédia clássica” (AUERBACH, 2011, p. 446).

    The insufficient supply of serviced land at affordable prices for
    the urban poor and the need for regularization of the consequent
    illegal occupations in urban areas are two of the most
    important issues on the Latin American land policy agenda.
    Taking a structural/integrated view on the functioning
    of the urban land market in Latin America, this paper discusses
    the nexus between the formal and the informal land markets. It
    thus exposes the perverse feedback effects that curative regularization
