Infrastructural Decay

چکیده
A growing ethnographic literature attends to maintenance and repair practices in the face of decay ruination. This article explores forms that become an integral part infrastructure maintenance. In Turkey’s Çoruh Basin, hydroelectric dam constructions lead a concern about landscape’s erosive character, which requires foresters’ watershed rehabilitation uplands protect dams against sediment accumulation reservoirs. The work repairing ecologies for long-term dams, I contend, is undergirded by gradual another labor—that is, villagers’ arduous tending landscape through farming husbandry. Through study how foresters villagers experience under rehabilitation, this offers novel anthropological analytical perspective foregrounds continuum between maintaining decaying, tracing role labored landscapes continuum. argue practices, while intending counter decay, entail other decay. ÖZET Giderek büyüyen bir etnografik literatür, çöküş, yıkım ve tahribat süreçlerinin karşısında bakım onarım pratiklerine odaklanmaktadır. Bu makale, altyapı bakımının bütünleyici parçası haline gelen çöküş biçimlerine Türkiye’nin Havzası’ndaki hidroelektrik baraj yapımları sürecinde arazinin erozyona yatkın yapısı mesele olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. mesele, barajları rezervuarlardaki birikimine karşı korumak için ormancıların yüksek kesimlerde havza rehabilitasyonu çalışmaları yapmalarını gerektirmiştir. Barajların uzun vadeli bakımı yapılan ekoloji çalışmalarının, başka emeğinin—köylülerin tarım hayvancılık yoluyla araziye bakma pratiklerinin—zamanla gerçekleşen çöküşü tarafından desteklendiğini ileri sürüyorum. Ormancıların köylülerin rehabilitasyon altındaki coğrafyayı nasıl deneyimlediklerine odaklanan araştırmam sonucunda bu süreçleri arasındaki devamlılığı ön plana alan emekle şekillenen arazilerin devamlılıktaki rollerini takip eden yeni antropolojik analitik perspektif önermektedir. Bakım pratiklerinin, tahribatı engellemeyi amaçlarken, biçimleri içerdiğini iddia ediyorum.

متن کاملCritical Utility Infrastructural Resilience
The problem of security and dependability, or generically speaking, resilience [1] of Internet-oriented infrastructure systems, such as web server compounds, is reasonably well understood. Although it is not completely mastered (for example, denial of service is still a research subject), it is receiving adequate attention. However, such is not the case with the problem of resilience of critica...
متن کاملInfrastructural Map for Information Security
Abstract—The threat modeling process starts with the phases of identifying critical assets, creating an architecture overview, and decomposing to identify possible points of attack. Data flow diagrams and sequence diagrams are used in this process. This paper proposes an alternative flow-based methodology for building an architectural map for the system. It provides a high-level methodology for...
متن کاملInfrastructural Support for Dynamic Context Bindings
Research in context-aware systems shows that using context information enables the development of personalized mobile applications. The context acquisition process in a context-aware (CA) system consists of two main roles: context producing entities (e.g. wrapped sensors) and context consuming entities (e.g. CA application). A CA system can be seen as a hierarchy of associated context producers...
