Abstract

The research presented in this chapter explores a variety of objectives: first, what are the dynamics and associated requirements for initiating a new start-up composting business that would embrace the principles of Circular Economy? Secondly, is there a market for compost both in an urban environment and for farmers regionally in a development world economy such as Guatemala? With this, how can employment opportunities for at-risk youth from the most impoverished neighborhood in Guatemala City be created while adhering to the tenants of social sustainability? And finally, what were the requirements involved in making compost in the challenging high altitude climatic conditions of Guatemala City?

10. CHANGES IN FOREST AND NON-FOREST WOODY VEGETATION IN BOHEMIA BETWEEN MID 19TH CENTURY AND 2015.

Author

Kadlecova, Petra, Belunkova, Sarka, Kumble, Peter, and Skalos, Jan

Abstract

This case study deals with forest and non forest woody vegetation (NFWV) in two previously unstudied sites in the Bohemia region of Czechia. Using two time horizons - mid 19th century and 2015, we conducted three analyses. First, we compared the area of woody vegetation, using the categories of forest and non-forest woody vegetation, the latter divided into subcategories according to context and further by shape. Secondly, we compared the distribution of patch sizes, and the presence of lost/continuous/new patches in the study sites. Thirdly, we calculated the extent to which the lost NFWV patches were transformed into forest. The results show the expansion of woody vegetation in the studied landscapes with a considerable increase in all categories. Moreover, the forest patches were shown as very persistent in their position, on the contrary NFWV patches changed their location almost completely. Thus, the landscape here is a combination of stable forest and dynamic NFWV patches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

13. The vernacular landscape of the southwestern guest ranch

Author

Kumble, Peter Andrew, 1957 and Kumble, Peter Andrew, 1957

Abstract

The western guest ranch evolved out of an era when American literature, film, and radio romanticized the cowboy and his landscape as symbols of the frontier west. As with architectural style, landscape imagery was a powerful tool in conveying social trends. Research briefly details the evolution of the dude ranch and its development in southeastern Arizona. Specific area of study is the San Simon and Sulphur Springs Valley of present day Cochise County, Arizona. A brief history of the region's settlement is provided. The location, landscape, facilities, and entertainment of eight guest "dude" ranches in the study area is described. A detailed examination of Faraway Ranch is provided, including site plans, photographs, and inventory of existing vegetation. The vernacular landscape of the southeastern Arizona guest ranch is identified. Reasons for the appeal of a guest ranch and its landscape to patrons is described.
