The Development Dimension Coherence of Agricultural and Rural Development Policies
At a time when agriculture is no longer the dominant sector in rural economies in OECD countries, this study examines the advantages of developing coherence between agricultural and rural development policies.
Tourism, Recreation and Regional Development
What factors contribute to tourism and recreation development? How can we characterise stakeholder rationales and organisation modes to enhance tourism resources and foster tourism and recreation services? To what extent do tourism and recreation contribute to regional development? What changes are taking place in terms of new destinations, stakeholders, policy objectives? Bringing together scholars from the fields of planning, economics, sociology, management studies and geography, this book examines cross-cutting issues in tourism and recreation with the aim of developing an extended view of leisure time. Focusing mainly on France with comparison to the experience of Northern and Southern ...
Europe's Living Landscapes
This book is the result of three symposia of the Dutch Society for Landscape Ecology. The first symposium in 2005 was about the National Ecological Network in the Netherlands . The reason was that the implementation of the NEN, decided upon in 1990, was halfway. The second symposium, in 2006, was about urban ecology and the third one, to be held in 2007, will be about civil infrastructure. This book does not cover the conferences completely and new contributions are added. The three themes are important contexts in which landscape ecologists do their research and apply their knowledge and skills. Of course, there are many more subjects to hold conferences about, for example climate change, u...

Consumed
By 2050, the world population is expected to reach nine billion. And the challenge of feeding this rapidly growing population is being made greater by climate change, which will increasingly wreak havoc on the way we produce our food. At the same time, we have lost touch with the soil—few of us know where our food comes from, let alone how to grow it—and we are at the mercy of multinational corporations who control the crops and give little thought to the damage their methods are inflicting on the planet. Our very future is at risk. In Consumed, Sarah Elton walks fields and farms on three continents, not only investigating the very real threats to our food, but also telling the little-kn...
Analyses économiques du paysage
Le paysage est défini par la Convention européenne du paysage comme « une partie de territoire telle que perçue par les populations, dont le caractère résulte de l'action de facteurs naturels et/ou humains et de leurs interrelations ». C'est, à maints égards, une construction politique, culturelle et économique des rapports qu'entretiennent les sociétés humaines à l'espace. Quels sont les éléments qui fondent l'organisation sociale de l'espace ? Quels sont les mécanismes à l'origine de son évolution ? Qu'est-ce qui rassemble les individus, malgré la divergence de leurs intérêts ? L'approche économique du paysage s'est développée ces dernières années pour répondre à ces questions et à bien d'autres. Cet ouvrage collectif réunit les résultats récents de la recherche sur ce thème.
Campagnes contemporaines
Cet ouvrage met en lumière les différentes facettes des dynamiques des espaces ruraux et périurbains. Ces dynamiques apparaissent complètement intégrées aux enjeux économiques et sociaux contemporains, que ce soit en termes de démographie et de modes de vie, d’activités économiques, ou de politiques publiques.
Sport et médias
Alors que les médias sont moins diabolisés qu'autrefois et que le sport devient un phénomène social majeur, la relation du sport avec les médias s'est transformée. Dans le même temps, les attentes et les attitudes des publics - y compris les plus " cultivés " - se sont modifiés tant à l'égard des spectacles sportifs et derrière eux des pratiques, que vis-à-vis de leurs retransmissions et de leurs commentaires ou analyses dans les médias traditionnels et Internet. Dès lors, il est tentant de mettre le rapport sport/médias sous les feux croisés de la recherche et de la réflexion critique... ce qui suscite quelques questionnements majeurs : peut-on placer sur le même plan le ...
