    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1 -- Brief history of "the beach" in Florida. Chapter 2 -- The legal geography of the beach. Chapter 3 -- The value of the property on/near the beach, despite natural hazard risk. Chapter 4 -- Capturing the beach experience. Chapter 5 -- Assessing public space along Florida beaches: NW FL case study. Chapter 6 -- Sketch mapping accessibility. Chapter 7 -- Explicit territoriality: good/bad fences. Chapter 8 -- Implied territoriality: good/bad neighbors. Chapter 9 -- Mapping the potential of conflict: transboundary viewsheds. Chapter 10 -- Conclusion: bringing it all together. .
    Abstract: This book offers a theoretical and practical exploration of the beach as space and place (i.e. territoriality) through three disciplinary lenses (Political Science, Geography, Art), utilizing the lens of territoriality and field-based participant cartographic mapping to understand better the ways in which the developed shoreline in Florida is territorialized. The book approaches the complex topic of territoriality on Florida’s beaches from two novel but related methods: participatory mapping/cartography and performance art. Both methods involve participants interacting with, perceiving, and ultimately representing feelings about a place. One method captures those feelings through the medium of the cartographic product (or a map), while the other leads to a set of symbols (flags), performance (actions in place) and visceral record (photography, sound, and journaling). Readers will gain insight into the role of political systems, ideological climates, local culture (including diverse cultures throughout the Florida state territory), and environmental history and challenges in shaping territoriality. The book will be of interest to a wide array of scholars working in coastal and land use planning topics at the intersection of geography, political science and art, including urban planners, land managers, and associated stakeholders dealing with ongoing tensions between private and public property rights on and near beaches.

    Abstract: This book covers a wide spectrum of water resources management, including water supply and demand, operation and maintenance of water distribution systems, water quality assessment, impacts of climate change on hydrological extremes, and water governance. Rapid urbanization, industrialization, and population growth are the major factors contributing to a significant rise in water demands across all the sectors in India. Although the Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall contributes primarily to the available surface and groundwater resources, recurrent non-uniform/erratic rainfall events have resulted in widespread water scarcity. On many occasions, extreme meteorological conditions trigger the severity of water-related disasters such as floods and droughts. The untreated wastewater from domestic and industrial sources discharged through un-engineered means, adds to the issue as it ends up polluting the surface and groundwater resources. .

    Establishing Plus-Minus-Energy-Regions : The Maluku Archipelago in Indonesia (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Geotechnical engineering. ; Renewable energy sources. ; Sustainability. ; Environmental management. ; Geographic information systems. ; Climatology. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. ; Renewable Energy. ; Sustainability. ; Environmental Management. ; Geographical Information System. ; Climate Sciences.
    Description / Table of Contents: Time is running out -- Why there is no time left -- City, Urbanization, and Energy -- City, Urbanization, and Energy -- Energy Footprints, the Intra Muros-Principle and Plus-Minus-Regions -- The Space-Resources Principle -- The Spatial-Prototype Principle -- The Principle of Closing Loops.
    Abstract: This book explains and illustrates how Indonesia as the largest and most populous country in Southeast Asia can become independent of fossil fuels by both reducing its energy needs and using renewable resources. A study presented in this work focuses on the Maluku Archipelago in eastern Indonesia with Ambon as its capital. Conventional energy is brought to the islands over long distances by partly simple means as boats, ships and aircrafts. This unsustainable situation calls for a decentralized renewable energy supply strategy. Based on the research presented in this book, it is clear that the archipelago has the potential to become a so-called plus-minus region. Plus-minus regions are regions that produce more renewable energy than they need and capture more CO2 than they emit. The authors are convinced that the presented strategy illustrated on the Maluku Archipelago can be transferred to other regions of the world and that only by developing plus-minus regions the international 2°C climate goal can be achieved. The model region thus serves as proof that the plus-minus target can also be achieved in emerging countries with limited financial resources. .
