Description: On the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, the ecological crisis appears in every physical and social aspect, and typically affects the rangelands on which most local people depend for their livelihood. Until today, however, changes in land use and vegetation cover on this Plateau have not yet been adequately and practically treated in studying the framework of sustainability. This thesis deals first with the basic ecological influences and interactions before reviewing their implications for development. The limitations of an ecological perspective is recognized, but this stems mainly from the misapplication of perspective and should not detract from its value. Ecology is undoubtedly the most basic and pervasive of the many determinants of the pastoral production systems of the high-frigid land. To ignore ecology or to fail to take it into account is to court disaster. The amount of literature reflects the importance of the subject but is not reviewed here in any detail; rather the aim is simply to set the scene for later discussions.

Description: Der vorliegende Band 52 der Abhandlungen „Anthropogeographie“ des Instituts für Geographische Wissenschaften der Freien Universität Berlin erfasst mit 54 Beiträgen den wissenschaftlichen Forschungsstand der IGU-Kommission “Urban Development and Urban Life”. Die vorgelegten Fassungen stellen die diskutierte und revidierte Form der Beiträge dar, die während der Jahrestagung der Kommission vom 15. bis 20. August 1994 in Berlin gehalten wurden. Die Tagung selbst stand unter dem Thema “Urban Transition and Quality of Life” und forderte damit in den jeweils zwei Einführungs- und zahlreichen weiterführenden Referaten der drei Arbeitsthemen 1) “Restructuring Urban Systems in Central and Eastern Europe“, 2) “Unemployment and Informal Economy in Cities” und 3) “Urban Identity, City Image and Urban Marketing” zu Bewertungen des Forschungsstandes bzw. kritischen Stellungnahmen durch aktuelle Forschungen heraus.

Description: Since the 14th century, moderate seismic activity with 14 earthquakes of magnitude MW≥5.0 occurred in Western Europe in a region extending from the Lower Rhine Graben (LRG) to the southern North Sea. In this paper, we investigate how well this seismic activity could reflect that of the future. The observed earthquake activity in the LRG is continuous and concentrates on the Quaternary normal faults delimiting the LRG, which are also the source of large surface rupturing Holocene and Late Pleistocene earthquakes. The estimated magnitudes of these past earthquakes range from 6.3±0.3 to 7.0±0.3 while their average recurrence on individual faults varies from ten thousand to a few ten thousand years, which makes foreseeing future activity over the long-term possible. Three of the largest historical earthquakes with MW≥5.5 occurred outside the LRG. Late Quaternary activity along the fault zones suspected to be the source of two of these earthquakes, i.e. the 1580 Strait of Dover and 1692 northern Belgian Ardennes earthquakes, is very elusive if it exists. Hence, similar earthquakes would be very infrequent at these locations suggesting that the seismicity outside of the LRG would be episodic and clustered on some faults during periods of a few hundreds of years interrupted by long periods of inactivity typically lasting for some tens to hundreds of thousand years. Seismic moment release estimation and its comparison between recent geological and historical seismicity periods lead us to suggest that the high seismicity level observed between AD 1350 and AD 1700 west of the LRG would be uncommon.
