Análisis comparado del ordenamiento territorial a escala regional de Barcelona y el Randsad 2005 – 2013. Reflexiones para el caso colombiano

El presente estudio quiere analizar la construcción de la dimensión regional como proceso de interacción entre el conjunto de asentamientos humanos y de unas relaciones políticas, jurídicas, históricas, económicas y funcionales alrededor de ese espacio determinado que aborda la interdependencia territorial. A partir de la concepción que la aglomeración urbana es intrínsecamente regional, el trabajo aborda tres casos de estudio: el Randstad en Holanda, el Área Metropolitana de Barcelona y la Mesa de Planificación Regional Bogotá – Cundinamarca como configuraciones que permiten la formación de acuerdos coordinados básicos para un abordaje integral de la gestión del territorio. De las particularidades de cada caso se elaboran comparaciones que establecen que la configuración de acuerdos regionales es influida por una práctica política y de ordenamiento territorial determinada. Fundamentándose en la comparación, el aparte final el texto establece establecen algunas orientaciones para la consolidación regional en Colombia como proceso de apoderamiento de lo local.

Verdaguer a Folgueroles: un recurs local ben aprofitat estudi d'un sistema local territorial

És més que evident la relació de Jacint Verdaguer amb el poble de Folgueroles. Tanmateix, aquest estudi mostra llur relació des d’una nova perspectiva, en la qual el desenvolupament territorial n’és la base. Folgueroles percep quelcom d’identitari en el poeta i el fa esdevenir recurs clau per tirar endavant un projecte de poble. Mitjançant la descripció del Sistema Local Territorial sorgit a Folgueroles al voltant de la figura del poeta, es defineix aquest projecte, els seus actors principals i les seves relacions, i, finalment, se’n farà una valoració

La organización de los actores en el desarrollo territorial: el tren de alta velocidad en la ciudad intermedia

If we want to evaluate the degree of local development that High-Speed Train (HST) provides in a city it is fundamental to observe the capacity of the actors of territory of organizing themselves to make use of their endogenous resources. Through the elaboration of a new methodology, the study of the process of development of three medium-sized cities with HST, Lérida (Spain), Avignon (France) and Novara (Italy), is suggested. As conclusion certain characteristic problems of intermediate city are shown in the execution of its local project, basically the existence of a troublesome multiscalar relationship and of a weak network of local actors. The fragility of this urban context is owed to the lack of correct processes of internal and external governance

Estudi de viabilitat per a l'execució d'un pla parcial urbanístic

El projecte se centra en l’estudi i valoració de les despeses i beneficis derivats del desenvolupament d’un pla parcial, per tal de poder escollir entre dues opcions, la venda de solars o bé la venda d’habitatges. S’ha elaborat eines de càlcul per fer un estudi urbanístic i de viabilitat per a la venda dels solars o habitatges. I s’han estudiat els aspectes legals i normatius que envolten l’activitat urbanística, i la seva aplicació

Les polítiques de paisatge a Europa en el marc del Conveni Europeu del Paisatge. Els casos d'Espanya, Alemanya i Eslovàquia

En aquesta tesi doctoral es pretén estudiar les diferents polítiques de paisatge a Europa, centrant-se en l’estudi a fons del Conveni Europeu del Paisatge, únic instrument dedicat exclusivament al paisatge. Mitjançant l’anàlisi de tres casos d’estudi, Espanya, Alemanya i Eslovàquia, més l’estudi de respectives regions dels mateixos, s’explicaran les eines i instruments existents avui per protegir, gestionar i ordenar el paisatge, afegint, però, l’element social, indiscutiblement lligat a la manera de veure, pensar i viure el paisatge. Es respon així a la hipòtesis de si ens trobem davant un canvi de paradigma, davant una nova sensibilitat respecte del paisatge. Indirectament es responen a dues preguntes més: demostrar si després de 10 anys de funcionament del Conveni Europeu del Paisatge aquest es perfila com a instrument per excel•lència per protegir, gestionar i ordenar el paisatge a Europa i si és possible l’existència de polítiques de paisatge efectives al marge del Conveni Europeu del Paisatge.

Modeling and Mapping Golden-winged Warbler Abundance to Improve Regional Conservation Strategies

Conservation planning requires identifying pertinent habitat factors and locating geographic locations where land management may improve habitat conditions for high priority species. I derived habitat models and mapped predicted abundance for the Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera), a species of high conservation concern, using bird counts, environmental variables, and hierarchical models applied at multiple spatial scales. My aim was to understand habitat associations at multiple spatial scales and create a predictive abundance map for purposes of conservation planning for the Golden-winged Warbler. My models indicated a substantial influence of landscape conditions, including strong positive associations with total forest composition within the landscape. However, many of the associations I observed were counter to reported associations at finer spatial extents; for instance, I found Golden-winged Warblers negatively associated with several measures of edge habitat. No single spatial scale dominated, indicating that this species is responding to factors at multiple spatial scales. I found Golden-winged Warbler abundance was negatively related with Blue-winged Warbler (Vermivora cyanoptera) abundance. I also observed a north-south spatial trend suggestive of a regional climate effect that was not previously noted for this species. The map of predicted abundance indicated a large area of concentrated abundance in west-central Wisconsin, with smaller areas of high abundance along the northern periphery of the Prairie Hardwood Transition. This map of predicted abundance compared favorably with independent evaluation data sets and can thus be used to inform regional planning efforts devoted to conserving this species.

Fora, networks and public examinations: the role and significance of public participation in the new regional plan for South East England

This paper overviews the main conceptual frameworks for understanding participatory approaches to land use planning and explores their utility in analysing the experience of a recent regional planning exercise in South East England. In particular it examines the contribution of recent ‘New Institutionalist’ ideas to our understanding of participatory processes and the implications for practice of using them to build strategies of public involvement in policy-making and implementation.

Contra as Secas: a engenharia e as origens de um planejamento regional no nordeste brasileiro

Droughts surfaced in 1877 as a crucial problem for the birthing Brazilian nation. Engineers, who formed the country's technical and scientific elite, took it upon themselves to study, understand and fight the problem through planned actions of intervention on space. This work, based on proposals and discussions contained in engineering magazines and reports, aims to provide elements for the comprehension of how these systematized actions against droughts, in the Iate nineteenth and early twentieth century, contributed to spatial analysis and the formation of a (then-inexistent) regional and territorial planning discipline in Brazi!. Engineers, by taking up the position of masterminds in the country's modernization, guaranteed for themselves personal economic stability, social prestige and political power. By understanding nature, either as a resource to be exploited or an adversary to national progress, they contributed to the delimitation of the region now known as the Northeast. By seeking to understand the drought phenomenon, they created knowledge about the space they sought to intervene on; by constructing their projects amid political and economical difficulty, they changed the organizational structures of cities and country in the northeast. The proposals for açudes (Iarge water reservoirs) allowed the fixation of population and the resistance against droughts; the roads - railroads and automotive roadways - connected the sertão to the capitais and the coast, speeding up help to the affected populations during droughts and allowing the circulation of goods so as to strengthen the local economies in normal rimes. The adopted practices and techniques, adapted from foreign experience and developed through trial and improvement, were consolidated as an eminently spatial intervention course, even if a theoretical body of regional or territorial planning wasn't formed in Brazil. Regional Planning proper was first applied in the country in the Northeast itself, in the 1950s, based off an economical view of reality in order to achieve development. The engineer's work prior tothat date, however, cannot be dlsconsldered. It was proved that, despite facing financial and political hurdles, engineers had a profound commitment to the problem and intended to act systematically to transform the economical and social relations in the region, in order to be victorious in their struggle against droughts

Região, território e planejamento estatal: planejamento plurianual e desenvolvimento regional

O presente trabalho tem a intenção de analisar as discussões em torno da dimensão territorial no planejamento estatal. Essas discussões não são recentes, elas emergiram no cenário nacional em decorrência também das questões relacionadas a um conjunto de fatores que surgem como imposição do processo de acumulação flexível e globalizado, que busca produzir espaços homogêneos. Nesse momento o próprio papel do Estado, enquanto promotor do desenvolvimento é redefinido, alterando assim, sua relação de poder na produção do espaço, estabelecendo com isso, uma correlação de força com a sociedade. Todavia as questões que envolvem o planejamento recente no Brasil passam pela resolução de pontos cruciais, que estão diretamente ligadas às estratégias de intervenção do Estado a partir de uma lógica territorializada, que em primeiro lugar tem a região como ponto de partida. Nessa perspectiva se faz necessário pensar conceito de região e de território inseridos na dinâmica de planejamento territorial/regional. A tese apresentada neste trabalho demonstra que mesmo havendo um intenso esforço na elaboração dos PPAs e, consequentemente, dos planos e programas a eles ligados, no que se refere à introdução de um “moderno” planejamento público, a partir da introdução da concepção de território e demais instrumentos de execução e avaliação, quando se analisa o orçamento-programa percebe-se que os mesmos seguem outra lógica regionalizada de alocação de recursos, obedecendo a Constituição Federal, tanto no que se refere aos programas finalísticos, quanto ao de apoio às políticas públicas e áreas especiais. Assim, o orçamento segue uma dinâmica regionalizada, enquanto os planos e programas seguem uma dinâmica territorial. Enquanto o orçamento-programa estabelece a alocação de recursos seguindo o critério de divisão regional do IBGE – que divide o Brasil em cinco regiões. Os estudos da Dimensão Territorial para o Planejamento que orientam os PPAs, destacando, principalmente o 2008 – 2011 buscam estabelecer programas de desenvolvimento a partir da criação de inúmeros territórios. Passando assim, a desenvolver um sério problema na dinâmica do planejamento público brasileiro, que é o descompasso entre Plano – Orçamento – Programa, negando, com isso, a concepção de integração presente nos mesmos.
