Sustainable Development: a Contested Paradigm
This paper discusses the concept of sustainable development as a contested paradigm. Issues surrounding growth and sustainability are considered as are definitions and perceptions of sustainable development and the role played by ecological modernization in achieving sustainable development goals. The views expressed are those of the author and are presented to stimulate discussion rather than ...
متن کاملCurrent Seismic Safety Requirements for Large Dams and Their Implication on Existing Dams
Large dams, especially concrete dams, have been designed against earthquakes since the construction of Hoover dam in the 1930s. The design criteria and methods of analysis used in those times are outdated today and the actual seismic safety of these structures is not known in view of today’s requirements. Earthquake action was usually taken into account pseudostatically, through an inertia forc...
متن کاملMega-Collaboration: The Inspiration and Development of an Interface for Large-Scale Disaster Response
The need to gather and use decentralized information and resources in responding to disasters demands an integrated interface that can support large-scale collaboration. This paper describes the development of a collaboration tool interface. The tool will surpass existing groupware and social networking applications, providing easy entry, categorization, and visualization of masses of critical ...
متن کاملDownstream Effects of Diversion Dams on Sediment and Hydraulic Conditions of Rocky Mountain Streams
Reduced streamflow via flow diversion has the potential to limit the sediment-transport capacity of downstream channels and lead to accumulation of fine sediments and habitat degradation. To investigate, we examined the effects of variable levels of flow diversion on fine-sediment deposition, hydraulic conditions and geomorphic alteration. Our study consisted of a detailed field analysis pairin...
متن کاملNeo-Malthusianism and development: shifting interpretations of a contested paradigm*
This article focuses on the connection between the ideology of neo-Malthusianism and development theory and practice from the mid 1940s to the present. First identified by a few demographic experts, population policies and family planning gradually turned into a global movement for the control of world population. From the beginning, population discourses and policies were intertwined with stra...
