Managing development in the hillsides of Trinidad and Tobago using geoinformatics
An increase in the unmanaged development of hillsides is causing environmental, social and economic problems in Trinidad and Tobago. Improved environmental awareness and deepening environmental concerns in recent years have focused attention on the need to move towards a more sustainable pattern of development. Scientific criteria for managing hillside development do not seem to exist and attempts in this regard are seriously compromised amongst …
An examination of land use change due to irrigated agriculture in north‐eastern Jordan using geoinformatics
The Jordanian government has encouraged irrigated agriculture since the early 1990s by providing low cost loans to drill private wells. The impacts of this practice on land use change were examined within a small (362 km2) area of the Jordanian Badia using Geoinformatics. Aerial photographs, SPOT and Landsat TM imageries were used, in a GIS environment, to map and examine changes in the farming patterns since 1990. Field surveys and questionnaire…
Let the desert bloom
The Bedu have lived for centuries in harmony with the environment in the Middle Eastern desert known as the Badia region. However, during the 20th century their environment was fragmented and divided to form parts of Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. This process restricted their movements and increased the pressure on the environment. In addition, economic growth and urbanization have also had an impact on their way of life. As a consequence…
Environmental protection and sustainable development in Tunisia
Tunisia is a North African country undergoing rapid development. It has a range of environmental problems including soil erosion, desertification, sedimentation and reduction in biological diversity that are partly caused by the climate and compounded by development processes such as industrialization, urbanization and population growth. Consequently, Tunisia is suffering from the inevitable conflicts between environmental protection on the one h…
