Se analizan las transformaciones y la pluriactividad que está surgiendo en el mundo agrario, la evolución demográfica acaecida en la UE, como los cambios educacionales o sanitarios; el estudio urbano analiza las características urbanas, tanto formales como funcionales, el sistema de ciudades, en diferentes escalas; también se analiza el proceso de globalización en la Unión y las transformaciones espaciales que han ocasionado en el territorio.
Medio ambiente urbano
Se centra en el conocimiento y la comprensión del medio ambiente. Los contenidos se desarrollan en tres capítulos teniendo en cuenta las diversas fases del aprendizaje. El primero analiza los conceptos básicos de la ciudad y del medio ambiente urbano. En el segundo capítulo expone los problemas ambientales.El tercero nos deja ver las proposiciones que se encuentran dentro de la planificación del medio ambiente sostenible y los diferentes problemas que dan lugar a un declive en la calidad de vida
Geografía General I. Geografía Física
La Geografía General Física estudia las reglas y principios generales que llevan a la diferenciación del paisaje natural. El contenido de este libro proporciona unos conocimientos teóricos básicos sobre la diversidad y complejidad de los fenómenos climáticos y geomorfológicos. Aporta también una serie de gráficos que ayudan a analizar, interpretar y sintetizar la información geográfica. Este texto constituye una Unidad Didáctica que se estructura en tres capítulos: la Tierra como planeta, la Climatología, y la Geomorfología, cuyos respectivos temas se adaptan a los planteamientos didácticos de los nuevos Estudios Europeos.

Education and Sustainability
A publication from IUCN's Commission on Education and Communication (CEC), this book tells the stories of people who work with communities to motivate them to create a more sustainable future. The accounts range from engaging communities through theatre to a revival of indigenous stories to pass on good environmental practice. The publication was produced both to share what educators around the world have learnt and to give them a platform to tell their stories.
Handbook of Theory and Practice of Sustainable Development in Higher Education
This Handbook approaches sustainable development in higher education from an integrated perspective, addressing the dearth of publications on the subject. It offers a unique overview of what universities around the world are doing to implement sustainable development (i.e. via curriculum innovation, research, activities, or practical projects) and how their efforts relate to education for sustainable development at the university level. The Handbook gathers a wealth of information, ideas, best practices and lessons learned in the context of executing concrete projects, and assesses methodological approaches to integrating the topic of sustainable development in university curricula. Lastly, it documents and disseminates the veritable treasure trove of practical experience currently available on sustainability in higher education.
Environment and Citizenship
The increasing awareness of the human impact on the environment is having a profound effect on the concept and content of citizenship – one of the fundamental institutions that structures human relations. In what is the first introduction of its kind, this book provides an accessible, stimulating and multidimensional overview of the many ways in which concern for the environment – driven primarily by the preoccupation with sustainability – is reshaping our understanding of citizenship. Environment and Citizenship is structured into three parts. Part I introduces the reader to the concept and theories of citizenship and explores the impact that environmental concerns is having on contem...
Global Perspectives on Prostitution and Sex Trafficking
This book is part of a two-volume set that examines prostitution and sex trafficking on a global scale, with each chapter devoted to a particular country in one of seven "geo-cultural" areas of the world. The 18 chapters in this volume (Volume I) are devoted to examination of the commercial sex industry (CSI) in countries within Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Oceania, while the 16 chapters that comprise Volume II focus exclusively on Europe, Latin America, and North America. Volume II also includes a 'global' section, which includes chapters that are globally relevant — rather than those devoted to a particular country or geographic location. The content of each volume, as well as each cha...
Sprawl
As anyone who has flown into Los Angeles at dusk or Houston at midday knows, urban areas today defy traditional notions of what a city is. Our old definitions of urban, suburban, and rural fail to capture the complexity of these vast regions with their superhighways, subdivisions, industrial areas, office parks, and resort areas pushing far out into the countryside. Detractors call it sprawl and assert that it is economically inefficient, socially inequitable, environmentally irresponsible, and aesthetically ugly. Robert Bruegmann calls it a logical consequence of economic growth and the democratization of society, with benefits that urban planners have failed to recognize. In his incisive h...
Analysis of Urban Growth and Sprawl from Remote Sensing Data
This book provides a comprehensive discussion on urban growth and sprawl, and how they can be analyzed using remote sensing imageries. It compiles views of numerous researchers that help in understanding the urban growth and sprawl; their patterns, process, causes, consequences, and countermeasures; how remote sensing data and geographic information system techniques can be used in mapping, monitoring, measuring, analyzing, and simulating the urban growth and sprawl and what are the merits and demerits of available methods and models. This book will be of value for the scientists and researchers engaged in urban geographic research, especially using remote sensing imageries. This book will serve as a rigours literature review for them. Post graduate students of urban geography or urban/regional planning may refer this book as additional studies. This book may help the academicians for preparing lecture notes and delivering lectures. Industry professionals may also be benefited from the discussed methods and models along with numerous citations.
