    Mozambique

    Em 1990 Moçambique era considerado o país mais pobre do mundo. Porém, após o fim da guerra civil em 1992, o país tem estado a testemunhar grandes investimentos públicos e privados, uma inflação baixa e estável, taxas de juro em decréscimo o que tem contribuído para um crescimento económico rápido. O África Progress Panel (2014:27) apresenta Moçambique como o 5º país da África com a taxa de crescimento económico média mais rápida no período 2008-2013 (taxa média de 7.25%), apenas atrás da Serra Leoa (taxa média de 9.45%), Ruanda (8,4%), Etiópia (8.37%) e Gana (8.11%).

    Changes in the usage of a particular urban or regional area have immediate effects on transportation, such as the development of a new multimodal terminal within a city, or the creation of a business park in its outskirts. Thus far, this correlation has been under-researched at a national level in Greece. As a result, its effects on trip generation and passenger flows has been underestimated at the planning level, leading to the implementation of projects that are neither viable nor sustainable.

    Na década de 1990 as principais motivações para a emergência de novos conflitos agrários na região, agora não somente pela luta pelos direitos trabalhistas violados pelos patrões, mas antes de tudo, pela reforma agrária, pela democratização e acesso a terra das antigas usinas falidas.

De acordo com Ali et al. (2010) a economia agrícola mundial tem sido substancialmente sensível aos movimentos dos indicadores macroeconómicos.

    Goods and services provided by functioning ecosystems contribute directly and indirectly to human welfare and therefore represent a significant, yet often uncounted, portion of the total economic value of the landscape we live in. While there are many ways that humans can value their landscape, the ability to estimate the economic value of ecosystem goods and services provided by a landscape is increasingly recognized as 2

    a valuable tool in weighing trade-offs in environmental decision-making and land-use planning.

    The set of models available to predict land use change in urban regions has become increasingly complex in recent years. Despite their complexity, the predictive power of these models remains relatively weak. This paper presents an example of an alternative modeling framework based on the concept of a Markov chain. The model assumes that land use at any given time, which is viewed as a discrete state, can be considered a function of only its previous state.

    Global climate and land use changes could strongly affect soil erosion and the capability of soils to sustain agriculture and in turn impact regional or global food security. The objective of our study was to develop a method to assess soil sustainability to erosion under changes in land use and climate.
