Understanding rural–urban transitions in the Global South through peri-urban turbulence
Nature provides valuable sanitation services
Much previous research shows that safe disposal of human waste has a positive impact on human wellbeing, while preventing the degradation of ecosystems. However, to date, the role that ecosystems themselves play in treating human waste has been largely neglected. We conceptualize the role nature plays in treating human waste—acting as a pipeline and/or treatment plant. We estimate that nature is treating ~41.7 million tons of human waste per year…
Monitoring land use change in the Badia transition zone in Jordan using aerial photography and satellite imagery
Detection of land use change makes a valuable contribution to the planning and monitoring of drylands. Land use changes at four sites within the Badia transition zone of Jordan were investigated and quantified over the period from 1953 to 1992 using black and white aerial photographs and SPOT PAN satellite imagery digitally merged with Landsat TM. Land use interpretation was checked in the field, and analysed using a Geographical Information Syst…
Monitoring landscape change — the role for GIS
Geographic information systems (GIS) have made major contributions to landscape mapping and analysis, but they must be used carefully in relation to the properties of particular sets of landscape data and the types of query to be asked. This paper describes two projects undertaken to assess the types and amounts of landscape change occurring in the countryside, using aerial photograph sets from different dates. One project relates to the national…
