Climate‐Smart Landscapes
Addressing the global challenges of climate change, food security, and poverty alleviation requires enhancing the adaptive capacity and mitigation potential of agricultural landscapes across the tropics. However, adaptation and mitigation activities tend to be approached separately due to a variety of technical, political, financial, and socioeconomic constraints. Here, we demonstrate that many tropical agricultural systems can provide both mitig…
A case study of perceptions of climate change impacts and child well-being
Climate change will affect those most vulnerable in the developing world, and humanitarian relief and development organizations will need to respond. Using a quantitative survey, the attitudes of World Vision staff towards climate change and its risks for children were examined. Results indicate a very strong awareness of climate change and its risks to the key outcome indicator of the organization (child well-being), but there are significant va…
Roxby Iron Age Settlement and the Iron Age in North-East Yorkshire
Round houses and an enclosure, surviving parts of a nucleated settlement on boulder clay terrain at Roxby (near Staithes, north-east Yorkshire), discovered from the air in 1972, were excavated 1973–81. Most were dated to the immediately pre-Roman Iron Age, but one round house, standing in an area of marks of former cross-ploughing, had native Romano-British pottery, and in the last phase of ditch silting, sherds of sixth century AD Anglo-Saxon st…
The Process of Areawide Hospital Planning
Arcawide hospital planning is examined and its relevance to future health planning is discussed. The study is the result of visits to 30 hospital planning councils and interviews with 75 planners in 1967. Areawide hospital planning is described as a process–a process of human involvement and exchange; an incremental process dependent on limited data, negotiation and compromise, and institutional planning; a process in large part guided by the pla…
