Introduction Extensive pastoralism as practiced by East African pastoralists such as the Samburu of Northern Kenya, is premised on access to relatively large tracts of rangeland. Most pastoral land has been communally managed by groups of pastoralists who have, over time, developed rules and norms for regulating access to and use of the resources. In recent years, however, a number of pastoral ...

This chapter provides a historical perspective on the relationship between land and confl ict in Colombia, in which land is identifi ed as both a source and resource of confl ict. This relationship is central to understanding forced displacement in Colombia and this study argues that in light of signifi cant shortfalls in translating state policy on land and IDPs into practice, humanitarian age...

One triangle has angles measuring A, β−α and 90. The other triangle has angles measuring B, α− β, and 90. The two right angles are placed back to back with the two triangles having the same height. Using algebra and substitution, we got something that is similar to the proof but a couple of variables are switched, meaning that there is more work to do. I wonder if this method can be used though...

For an optimum use of natural resources in the sustainable development trend, there is a need to identify ecological resources in the shortest period of time and minimum possible cost. In this article, we aimed Management ecosystem by Assessment of plant covers changes at Taleghan Township in a twenty year period. Percentage of landscape and number of patch were among the metrics that were calc...

This study analyzes the characteristics of land use/land cover change in Jordan’s Irbid governorate, 1984–2018, and predicts future land use/land cover for 2030 and 2050 using a cellular automata-Markov model. The results inform planners and decision makers of past and current spatial dynamics of land use/land cover change and predicted urban expansion, for a better understanding and successful...

Abstract Drivers of land use change were captured by the DPSIR model where (D) represented human needs, Pressures (P), activities, State (S), ecosystem, Impact (I) services from ecosystem and Response (R), decisions taken users. Land sat MSS ETM+ (path 185, row 31) used in this study. The image (June 1987, May, 2000 July, 2014) was downloaded USGS Earth Resources Observation Systems data websit...
