Aplikasi Penginderaan Jauh dan Sistem Informasi Geografis Untuk Pemodelan dan Pemetaan Data Biofisik Lahan
Tujuan disusunnya buku berjudul Aplikasi Penginderaan Jauh dan Sistem Informasi Geografis untuk Pemodelan dan Pemetaan Biofisik Lahan, baik di darat maupun di perairan dangkal, adalah untuk menyediakan dasar teori akurat yang mendukung pemilihan metode penelitian dalam bidang tersebut. Semakin pesatnya perkembangan teknologi penginderaan jauh (PJ) dan sistem informasi geografis (SIG), menarik banyak pengguna dari berbagai bidang ilmu untuk memanfaatkannya. Di sisi lain, pemanfaat kedua ilmu ini tidak mudah dan tidak bisa hanya mengandalkan pengertian terhadap penggunaan perangkat lunak terkait saja. Konsep dasar mengenai pengertian apa itu PJ dan pendekatan atau metode apa yang tepat saat di...
Jurnal Ph.D. Mama
Buku yang sangat inspiratif! Bangsa Indonesia patut bangga memiliki para wanita pejuang yang ulet, cerdas, dan tangguh. Semua ini membuktikan bahwa perempuan mampu meski banyak hal menghalang. Kita perlu meningkatkan kebijakan publik dan pemihakan agar perempuan Indonesia dapat terus mampu memajukan dirinya dan ikut memajukan bangsa dan negara. –Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Menteri Keuangan RI. Ketika dewasa ini perempuan Indonesia makin dituntut untuk memiliki gelar akademis tertinggi untuk menempati berbagai jabatan publik dan menghadapi benturan dengan peranan mereka di dalam rumah tangga, para tokoh perempuan yang digambarkan dalam buku ini membuktikan bahwa dengan ketekunan, ketangguhan, ke...
Mangrove Ecology, Silviculture and Conservation
Mangroves are a fascinating group of plants that occur on tropical and subtropical shorelines of all continents, where they are exposed to saltwater inundation, low oxygen levels around their roots, high light and temperature conditions, and periodic tropical storms. Despite these harsh conditions, mangroves may form luxuriant forests which are of significant economic and environmental value throughout the world - they provide coastal protection and underpin fisheries and forestry operations, as well as a range of other human activities. This book provides an up-to-date account of mangrove plants from around the world, together with silvicultural and restoration techniques, and the management requirements of these communities to ensure their sustainability and conservation. All aspects of mangroves and their conservation are critically re-examined. Those activities which threaten their ongoing survival are identified and suggestions are offered to minimise their effects on these significant plant communities.
The Energetics of Mangrove Forests
Despite their importance in sustaining livelihoods for many people living along some of the world’s most populous coastlines, tropical mangrove forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Occupying a crucial place between land and sea, these tidal ecosystems provide a valuable ecological and economic resource as important nursery grounds and breeding sites for many organisms, and as a renewable source of wood and traditional foods and medicines. Perhaps most importantly, they are accumulation sites for sediment, contaminants, carbon and nutrients, and offer significant protection against coastal erosion. This book presents a functional overview of mangrove forest ecosystems; how they liv...
Topography and the Environment
Third-year and postgraduate courses in physical geography, environmental studies and environmental science, particularly course units in geomorphology, climatology, pedology, biogeography, ecology; landscape ecology, GIS and remote sensing, and environmental modelling. This is the first book of its kind, focusing on topographic influences on environmental components. As a comprehensive introduction to the subject, Topography and the environment discusses the main facets of topography, including new and old ideas, models, methods, and theories, and identifies four different approaches to topography as an environmental factor: the physical ground surface; all the features of the Earth's surface, including the human-made; topographically based modelling, developed in association with geographical information systems (GIS); and the idea of place as a human construct. The authors then explore individual topographic influences on environmental elements such as climate, water, soils and plants. Accessible and wide ranging, it helps students understand the intrinsic links and the crossdisciplinary nature of physical systems and processes.
Remote Sensing of Land Use and Land Cover
Filling the need for a comprehensive book that covers both theory and application, Remote Sensing of Land Use and Land Cover: Principles and Applications provides a synopsis of how remote sensing can be used for land-cover characterization, mapping, and monitoring from the local to the global scale. With contributions by leading scientists from aro
Neighborhood Upgrading
Neighborhood Upgrading examines the effectiveness of government-subsidized housing rehabilitation programs in reversing patterns of neighborhood decline. Varady takes a realistic look at the dilemma facing policy planners attempting to effect changes on a local level. His is the first study to assess the impact of neighborhood ethnic and social class changes on mobility and investment decisions. There has been little empirical research on neighborhood upgrading where improvement results from the efforts of existing residents aides by government assistance. Varady' study makes a major contribution in illuminating the variables of this process. Focusing on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Urban Homesteading Demonstration (UHD), he presents disturbing findings that are applicable to other neighborhood preservation programs such as the Neighborhood Housing Service (NHS) and the Community Development Block Grant Program. He argues that the future success of such programs lies in the ability of planners and policy makers to develop and implement policies addressing the issues that cause neighborhood decline--poverty, crime, and discrimination.
Current Topics in Tropical Emerging Diseases and Travel Medicine
Tropical emerging diseases pose a significant risk for the circulation of old and new pathogens in areas previously unknown, also implying the possibility of new morbidities and mortalities and new consequences for naïve populations. Globalization, migration and travel are key factors for tropical diseases, and represent the need for integration of tropical medicine, travel medicine and epidemiology in the understanding of such complex situations. Neglected tropical diseases such as leprosy or Chagas disease, arboviral diseases, HIV, Ebola, and arenaviral infections are just a few examples. This book tries to update significant epidemiological and clinical research in many aspects with a multinational perspective.
Land Surface Remote Sensing in Urban and Coastal Areas
For a long time, the dynamics of urban and coastal areas have been the focus of administrators and decision makers in charge of public policy in order to better take into account anthropogenic pressure and the impact of climate change. This volume presents applications of remote sensing in urban environments and coastal zones, including the use of remote sensing in city planning (urban expansion, light pollution, air quality, etc.), observation of the properties of ocean color, the study of coastal dynamics (identifying coastlines and estimating sediment balances, etc.) and analysis of the dynamics of mangroves. This book, part of a set of six volumes, has been produced by scientists who are...
