Authors: Naumenko Raisa
Published: September 2016

The current state of the normative providing of introduction of new specialty “public management and administration” is analyzed in the article. The meaning of terms “public management and administration”, “public governance”, “public management” was revealed. The study identified key priorities for training applicants for higher education in specialty “public management and administration”, among which a special place is occupied by harmonizing training standards for the level of training “Bachelor”, “Master”, “Doctor of Philosophy» (PhD). The article describes the principles enshrined in the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education”, such as transparency, independence of higher education, priority of universal values, unity of the national educational environment, universal access to education, the principle of international integration of the higher education, and democratic nature of education governance and institutional autonomy. The study revealed a number of issues regarding the regulatory support of implementation of the new specialty “public management and administration”. In particular, the analysis of the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education” points to the need to review the whole range of existing programs and adapt their content to the requirements of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU. There is an urgent need to improve educational programs as to the number of ECTS credits for competencies of graduates in terms of learning content, terms of learning outcomes, certification and quality control. Creation of the new educational programs of universities aimed at ensuring conditions for the formation and development of professional competencies of bachelors and masters will enable them to work successfully in the field of public administration and management at the international, national, regional and local levels. Under the new paradigm, the main areas of university training seekers of higher education in the specialty “public management and administration” is the study of public managers, of public policy analysis; management of the economy; civil service; public administration and international development.

Published: September 2016

The article deals with the topical questions, namely, the priorities and challenges that Ukraine faced with on the way to the FTA creation. From the one hand, there were grounded several one-legged trade preferences given to Ukraine. From the other one, there were considered several obstacles that appeared on the way of integration, among them: the combat operations in our country, crisis period without any “universal remedies” for and the other ones.
It was grounded on the base of statistic materials that the main trade partners in European Union according to the results of last years are: Germany, Poland, Italy. But can be seen the optionality of our country in the system of the world economic connections because of the import dependence on the external supplies, as the part of export in the structure of GDP in 2014 reached 47 %, import – 55 %.
The experience of the country that already passed the stage of integration changes was analyzed, but as we can see on practice it is almost impossible to find the common features of reforms because both Poland and Greece move economy by their own vectors and Ukraine must pay attention to this fact.
It was proved, that to use the competitive advantages for a long time Ukrainian economy must concentrate its activity on the existent natural resources potential, intellectual abilities, industrial development and high technologies.

Authors: Kasperowicz-Stępień Alicja , Stabryła-Chudzio Katarzyna
Published: September 2016

Organic farming in the European Union is still a small percentage, but there is a noticeable upward trend, albeit mainly in the countries of the old EU (EU-15). At the same time, according to Eurostat data and taking into account the average for the European Union, organic farms are larger than conventional farms, as well as the average age of organic farmers is lower. As a result, organic farming (biological, organic) as a system of permanent self-sustaining and economically sustainable safe management of plant and animal production should be an important alternative to conventional agriculture. In addition, efforts to develop organic farming create the capacity to deal with environmental, animal welfare and rural development, while producing high quality food.
The aim of the paper is to provide opportunities for development of organic farming in Poland in the light of EU regulations for the years 2014–2020.

INNOVATION SYSTEMS IN THE TERMS OF SCHUMPETERIAN CREA-TIVE DESTRUCTION
Authors: Ciborowski Robert
Published: September 2016

‘Creative destruction’ is one of the most important analytical tools, taking into consideration both the economic and sociological characteristics of capitalist society. According to Schumpeter, in the long term, evolution gives rise to economic develo-pment resulting from batches of innovative solutions, leading to improvements in the standard of living.
The innovation activity of firms is based on supply-side factors, hence it is large en-terprises that excel in innovation since they strive to achieve a monopoly market posi-tion and above-average profits.
Schumpeter attempts to combine two elements: the spread of monopolies and the con-tinuation of economic development, both occurring through innovation, which is far more important than price competition. The Schumpeterian ‘creative destruction’ permeates the main aspects of macroeconomic activity, not only in the long term, but also in the area of economic fluctuations, structural changes, or the functioning of markets. As a result, it becomes a factor determining changes in the economic order.

Authors: Masiukiewicz Piotr
Published: September 2016

The important area of customers’ protection it is decided of prices. Law strict injunctions of application of some specific types of prices existence in all development countries. Bans on certain categories of prices are present in legal systems of all developed countries; UE directives and OECD guidelines contain bans on price discrimination through dumping, price fixing cartels or transfer price fixing. In this paper are showed the institutional models of customer’s protection in area of prices in credit institutions (f.e. interest rate). In the area of financial services the prices have specific character, f.e. reference prices, preferential prices, compound prices, risk of a price change, different prices for the same product, payment by instalments. Contrary to the rules are showed in case study of banking market in Poland. Law regulations of interest rate are much wider applied than prices regulations on the other markets.
The development of protection institutions of customers in the banking market influenced more compliance law and ethical rules in price proceeding. Bad more education of customers it’s necessary. One of the misgivings signaled by banks is growing restrictiveness of regulations on consumer protection, which should become a subject of in-depth research.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION OF THE FUTURE FITNESS TRAINERS IN GREAT BRITAIN AND AUSTRALIA
Authors: Vasylenko Maryna
Published: September 2016

Analysis of scientific literature and documental sources testifies to actualization of problem of professional preparation of the future fitness trainers at educational level “bachelor” in different countries. The special features of professional education of these specialists in Great Britain and Australia were determined. To the advantages of preparation can be assigned the flexible character of stage education and possibility to work as a fitness-trainer, having the second, third, fourth and fifth levels according to Qualification Credit Framework – QCF. The sixth level is equal to educational level “bachelor”. Educational institution that realizes preparation at sixth level on specialization "Personal Fitness Training" is University of Central Lancashire. The content of university curriculum provides mastering by students of competences on psychology of communication, motivation, leadership, nutritiology, management, medical rehabilitation and so on. From our point of view, disadvantage of professional preparation of the future fitness-trainers in Great Britain and Australia is the excessive applied orientation of teaching and absence of cultural disciplines.

Published: September 2016

Runoff in the Yellow River (YR) of China is steadily declining due to climate change and human activities. In this study, the basic trend and abrupt changes of precipitation at 63 meteorological stations and runoff as measured at six hydrological stations from 1956 to 2010 are analyzed. Results indicate that 38 stations exhibit negative precipitation trends. These stations are mainly located in the lower reaches. All six hydrological stations exhibit declining runoff trends. Abrupt runoff changes were mainly noted in the downstream portion of the basin. These variations then expanded to the middle and upper reaches. A precipitation–runoff double cumulative curve was used to detect the breakpoint of the precipitation–runoff relationship and to identify the impacts of human activities on runoff in the YR. Results show that the relatively uniform precipitation–runoff relationship has changed since 1993 in the upstream reaches and since 1970 in the middle and downstream reaches. Additionally, the relationship was more sensitive in the Lanzhou section. Human activities have become the dominant influencing factor on runoff variation since the 1970s. After the 1990s, the percentages of runoff variations due to human activities were 74.87%, 82.2%, 80.63%, and 88.71% at the Lanzhou, Toudaoguai, Huayuankou, and Lijin stations, respectively.
Unstable flow structure around partially buried objects on a simulated river bed
Authors: Cataño-Lopera Yovanni A. , Landy Blake J. , García Marcelo H.
Published: September 2016

The unsteady flow characteristics around two partially buried objects, a short cylinder and a truncated cone, were examined with a three-dimensional, non-hydrostatic hydrodynamic model under similar steady unidirectional currents with flow Reynolds numbers, Re, of 86,061 and 76,209, respectively. Model simulations were conducted with the two objects partially buried in a simulated rippled river bed. A Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equation model coupled with a κ-ε turbulence closure was used to validate the experimental velocity measurements. A large eddy simulation (LES) turbulence model was subsequently used to characterize the unsteady flow structure around the objects. The LES closure allowed for the characterization of highly unsteady coherent turbulent structures such as the horse-shoe vortex, the arch-shaped vortex, as well as vortex shedding in the wake of the object.
A novel nested stochastic dynamic programming (nSDP) and nested reinforcement learning (nRL) algorithm for multipurpose reservoir optimization
Authors: Delipetrev Blagoj , Jonoski Andreja , Solomatine Dimitri P.
Published: September 2016

In this article we present two novel multipurpose reservoir optimization algorithms named nested stochastic dynamic programming (nSDP) and nested reinforcement learning (nRL). Both algorithms are built as a combination of two algorithms; in the nSDP case it is (1) stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) and (2) nested optimal allocation algorithm (nOAA) and in the nRL case it is (1) reinforcement learning (RL) and (2) nOAA. The nOAA is implemented with linear and non-linear optimization. The main novel idea is to include a nOAA at each SDP and RL state transition, that decreases starting problem dimension and alleviates curse of dimensionality. Both nSDP and nRL can solve multi-objective optimization problems without significant computational expenses and algorithm complexity and can handle dense and irregular variable discretization. The two algorithms were coded in Java as a prototype application and on the Knezevo reservoir, located in the Republic of Macedonia. The nSDP and nRL optimal reservoir policies were compared with nested dynamic programming policies, and overall conclusion is that nRL is more powerful, but significantly more complex than nSDP.
Controls on subsurface transport of sorbing contaminant
Authors: Ameli Ali A.
Published: September 2016

Subsurface transport of a sorbing contaminant is poorly understood and characterized. Here, a new semi-analytical saturated–unsaturated flow and transport model is coupled to a kinetic sorption algorithm to assess the impact of changes in the subsurface permeability architecture and flow rate on sorption characteristics. The model outputs reveal the pronounced effect of the rate of vertical decline in Ks on the frequency of occurrence and spatial distribution of subsurface sorption as well as the timing and rate of sorbing contaminants discharged into stream. Sorption potential is weakened with infiltration rate. The impact of infiltration rate on the decline in sorption potential becomes more accentuated as the degree of subsurface vertical heterogeneity in saturated hydraulic conductivity increases. Porosity pattern also impacts sorption characteristics; but its effects highly depend upon the degree of vertical heterogeneity in Ks. The results and methodology presented in this paper have potential implications for assessing water quality in integrated groundwater–surface water systems as well as designing remediation systems.

Authors: Dhawan Sahil , Basu Onita D. , Banihashemi Bahman
Published: September 2016

Analysis of the impacts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium supplementation on biofilter performance for organic carbon removal was studied on laboratory-scale biofilter columns. Three dual media biofilter columns were fed with synthetic raw water C:N:P ratios of 546:24:1, 100:10:1, and 25:5:1 (w/w) to simulate nutrient limited and two nutrient supplemented conditions, respectively. Research found that air-scour versus water only backwash improved the nutrient limited dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal by 8%. In addition, nutrient supplementation and backwash alteration improved DOC removals by 19% for the 25:5:1 column and 14% for the 100:10:1 column. Potassium supplementation with the 25:5:1 C:N:P ratio column had no discernible effect on DOC removal. No correlation with phospholipid (7–474 nmol P/g media) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (0.6 × 105–32.74 × 105 pg ATP/g media) values with DOC removal were found. Nutrient availability was found to influence DOC removal, demonstrating its importance when utilizing biofiltration for treatment of source waters.

Published: September 2016

Atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine) is a component of S-triazine. Its characteristics make it a pollutant of ecosystems and a probable human carcinogen. The present study evaluated volcanic pumice stone as a suitable media for biological growth and biofilm development in a fixed-bed sequencing batch reactor (FBSBR) for atrazine removal from aquatic environments. The FBSBR was fed with synthetic wastewater containing sucrose and atrazine at four hydraulic retention times to assess biodegradation of atrazine by a microbial consortium for removal from aquatic environments. The maximum efficiency for atrazine and soluble chemical oxygen demand removal were 97.9% and 98.9%, respectively. The results of this research showed that the Stover–Kincannon model was a very good fit (R2 > 99%) for loading atrazine onto the FBSBR. Increasing the initial concentration of atrazine increased the removal efficiency. There was no significant inhibition of the mixed aerobic microbial consortia by the atrazine. Atrazine degradation depended on its initial concentration in the wastewater and the amount of atrazine in the influent. Although this system shows good potential for atrazine removal from aqueous environments, that remaining in the effluent does not yet meet international standards. Further research is required to make this system effective for removal of atrazine from the environment.

Published: September 2016

The aim of this study is to prepare sulfated carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC) nanofilter membrane using sulfur trioxide pyridine complex (SO3/pyridine) as sulfating agent and glutaraldehyde (GA) as a crosslinking agent onto polysulfone supporting membrane. The prepared nanofilter was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and zeta potential. To evaluate the prepared nanofilter, various amounts of SO3/Pyridine were used and efficiency of them was investigated. The results showed that increasing the sulfate groups raised the flux from 13.87 to 29.54 L/(m2·h−1), whereas percentage rejection was increased during the separation of salt aqueous solutions and then decreased. It can be concluded that, SCMC-GA-2 (with molar ratio of SO3/pyridine to CMC of 1) shows high separation efficiency in acidic conditions and improves the hydrophilicity and charge density of the filter.
Investigation into mixing in the shallow floodplain Poyang Lake (China) using hydrological, thermal and isotopic evidence
Authors: Li Yunliang , Yao Jing , Zhang Li
Published: September 2016

Although mixing in lakes has significant environmental and ecological implications, knowledge of mixing dynamics for shallow floodplain lakes has received little attention. In this study, hydrological, thermal and isotopic investigations were undertaken to provide evidence for the mixing in the large, shallow floodplain Poyang Lake (China). Depth profiles of water velocity, water temperature and stable hydrogen and oxygen isotope compositions were measured throughout the lake, with results showing that the water velocity differences in depth profiles are generally less than ∼0.2 m/s, indicating weak stratification. Although water temperature differences of up to ∼2 °C are observed occasionally, Poyang Lake appears to have isothermal mixed layers from the epilimnion to the hypolimnion, attributed to the presence of mostly small temperature differences (<1 °C). Additionally, isotope compositions reveal that the lake's water columns are almost homogeneous during various water-level periods. Relative to many lakes exhibiting either no mixing or partial mixing, Poyang Lake appears to be fully mixing on a seasonal basis, depending on hydrological forcings within the lake rather than meteorological conditions. The current study will help to improve our knowledge of water flow patterns and pollutant transport in Poyang Lake and other similar floodplain lakes.

Authors: Fejoli Rômulo Fieni , Romero Oldrich Joel
Published: September 2016

Dentre os diferentes métodos especiais de recuperação com grande potencial de melhoria do fator de recuperação de petróleo, pode-se citar a injeção de espumas. A espuma pode ser utilizada como agente de bloqueio seletivo do reservatório, o que diminui a permeabilidade efetiva de zonas já varridas com alta permeabilidade. Uma das tarefas mais importantes na Engenharia de Petróleo é a caracterização das propriedades dos reservatórios para a aplicação do método que trará maior aumento de recuperação de petróleo. Uma ferramenta muito utilizada para este fim é a simulação numérica de reservatórios de petróleo, que por meio da aplicação de métodos numéricos permite obter a solução de equações diferenciais parciais de solução complexa. Este trabalho trata da modelagem computacional da injeção de espumas em reservatórios de petróleo utilizando o software ECLIPSE®. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa é compreender quais são os parâmetros técnicos que potencializam o aumento do fator de recuperação do óleo quando a injeção de espuma é utilizada. Resultados de simulações mostraram que os principais parâmetros atuantes para o método de recuperação são a viscosidade do óleo e a concentração de surfactante para geração da espuma. Os aumentos iniciais da concentração de surfactante foram o que promoveram um maior acréscimo da produção de óleo, alcançando uma recuperação superior a 30 % de óleo. Acima de uma certa concentração crítica de surfactante, de aproximadamente 0,2 lb/stb, o aumento de produção não foi relevante.

Authors: Rigatto Suellen Freire
Published: September 2016

Dentre as substâncias não newtonianas utilizadas na indústria e que são transportadas por redes de tubulações, uma das que possui uma maior gama de aplicações é a goma xantana, que possui características pseudoplásticas. Devido à escassez de trabalhos na literatura, existe um grande interesse em entender a perda de carga em escoamentos de fluidos pseudoplásticos através de curvas. O escoamento em curvas é fortemente influenciado pelo número de Dean, que define a dinâmica do escoamento através de curvas. Neste trabalho, a análise de perda de carga é realizada numericamente através do software Ansys CFX 16.0. O escoamento, através da curva de 90°, é laminar e o fluido é uma solução aquosa de goma xantana, representado pelo modelo reológico de Power-Law. Através dos resultados é possível concluir que o aumento da perda de carga em uma curva está diretamente ligado ao aumento do número de Dean.

Published: September 2016

Emulsões são formadas por gotas dispersas em um meio contínuo, sendo estabilizadas pela ação de emulsificantes. Esses estão presentes em diferentes etapas da indústria petrolífera e tradicionalmente causam problemas associados à corrosão e custo de transporte. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi produzir emulsões de petróleo em diferentes concentrações de óleo sem adição de surfactante. As emulsões foram avaliadas quanto à estabilidade cinética, microestrutura e reologia. Observou-se a formação de emulsões A/O em sistemas contendo 80 e 90 % (m/m) de óleo. Já as emulsões com menor teor de óleo (70 e 60 % m/m) apresentaram estrutura do tipo O/A com viscosidade reduzida.
É POSSÍVEL UMA ORGANIZAÇÃO E REPRESENTAÇÃO DO CONHECIMENTO SEM PARTIDOS?
Authors: Elis Arboit Aline
Published: September 2016

Trata-se de uma reflexão sobre a concepção social e ideológica da consciência e do conhecimento, sobretudo aquele impresso nos documentos. Busca inspiração no atual debate ocorrido no contexto brasileiro em torno das manifestações ligadas ao movimento “Escolas sem partido” que defende a não doutrinação ideológica durante o processo de transmissão do conhecimento nas escolas. Postula-se que o conhecimento registrado nos livros, apostilas ou demais documentos não é possível de ser transmitido para os alunos, sem interpretação da visão de mundos dos autores e dos professores dos seus respectivos contextos históricos e sociais, nem tampouco organizado e representado isentando as diversas posturas envolvidas: do autor, do leitor e do próprio profissional responsável pela mediação do conhecimento. Mais do que partidária e não neutra, defende-se uma organização representação do conhecimento democrática, pluripartidária e polifônica.

FEMINISMO 2.0: A MOBILIZAÇÃO DAS MULHERES NO BRASIL CONTRA O ASSÉDIO SEXUAL ATRAVÉS DAS MÍDIAS SOCIAIS (#PRIMEIROASSEDIO)
Authors: Marie Santini Rose , Terra Camyla , Rosana Duarte de Almeida Alda
Published: September 2016

Muito vem se discutindo sobre igualdade de gênero e garantia de direitos para as mulheres em todo o mundo, mas o ano de 2015 foi decisivo para a construção de uma nova narrativa sobre os movimentos feministas na mídia, especialmente no Brasil. Esse ano é marcado por dois fatos sociais importantes. Por um lado, destaca-se a divulgação do “Mapa da Violência” de 2012 a 2015, que revelou dados atuais e inéditos sobre a realidade do feminicídio no nosso país. Por outro, iniciativas online questionaram tabus femininos que há décadas são pouco debatidos publicamente no Brasil pelos cidadãos e cidadãs comuns. Diante desse cenário, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar a nova dinâmica dos movimentos sociais na chamada sociedade em rede a partir da mobilização das mulheres brasileiras nas redes sociais, onde o alcance das mensagens extrapola os domínios da vida social e cotidiana dos indivíduos diretamente envolvidos para infinitas redes de informação online. Para tal, foi realizado o estudo de caso da hashtag #primeiroassedio através dos dados extraídos da rede social Twitter relacionados à campanha online ocorrida no Brasil em 2015, que foram interpretados e discutidos à luz da literatura sobre Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS ou SNA - Social Network Analysis). Os resultados encontrados indicam que a nova dinâmica dos movimentos sociais em redes online permite que um perfil com pouca ou nenhuma visibilidade midiática aparente, como o @thinkolga, pode criar uma campanha de ação política e obter grande repercussão entre os usuários destas redes. Este novo fenômeno social pode apontar para uma possível atualização da tradicional teoria da espiral do silêncio na medida em que considera o efeito mútuo dos meios de comunicação de massa e das mídias sociais na formação da opinião pública.
THE PLACE OF THE COMMONS IS THE SQUARE
Authors: Kaulingfreks Ruud , Kaulingfreks Femke
Published: September 2016

Squares are a distinctive fixture of a city. They form the centre of gravity of urban live and have been of paramount importance for social interaction through all cultures and in all centuries. The square is the centre of attention of every urban agglomeration. It's the spot where people gather and where commonality takes place. Squares are important as a place where the social is geographically embodied, as the space of the commons. They are the spot for sense, the space where sense making take place and where the social is constituted. Democracy was born on the square and they still are the place of politics. They are literally a place. In order to be the place of sense making, squares have to be empty; they are an expanse without artefacts. It's the emptiness of the square that makes them so suitable for social meaning. A plain surrounded by a maze of street and alleys so that the difference between the environment and the place enhance the openness of the square. In order to support meaning the square has certain specific features. One of them is the light. Everyone is in the same light in a square and therefore can see each other. The emptiness of the square makes a horizontal gaze possible where everyone is equal. There are no vantage points to observe the crowd. Architectural elements underline the equality and safety of the place. A square needs to be a safe place where one feels at home and not be disoriented by the emptiness. This essentially equalitarian and meaningfulness of the square has made the place also a place for contestation. All kind of different powers have colonized the square; the church, the king, the merchants, the state, the corporations. They all have changed the design of the square and tried to impose themselves on the openness. As a place of meaning the square is also a place of contestation between the commons and the powers. It has a long tradition of riots and occupation. It is the place where the people rise against the powerful. Of course it has also a long history of repression. Specific design aids to make sure the square can’t be used as a meaningful and common place. Squares embody communality and meaning by allowing multiplicity and what Nancy calls being singular plural. They are the space of the multitude. Attempts to design, organize, plan the square close the multiplicity down to singularities with specific functions and deny the square of its meaningfulness. The square is then the geographical space for meaningful politics and for the commons.

O protagonismo da cultura nas redes de ocupações culturais de resistência ao golpe parlamentar de 2016. Em um contexto de ataque jurídico e político ao campo cultural, que se iniciou com a extinção do Ministério da Cultura, explode um ciclo de ocupações culturais e urbanas de disputa simbólica, no campo das linguagens e do imaginário. As ocupações são o embrião de um movimento político-cultural de novo tipo. A estética da nova política do Brasil que emergiu nesses 13 anos aparece na cena cultural de forma contundente: a cena musical negra, trans, gay, feminina, pop e experimental. A cultura de base comunitária dos Pontos de Cultura, a cultura digital e a cultura de redes, os grupos culturais exige cada vez mais participação nas decisões e na gestão pública.
THE CONTEMPORARY VALUE CRISIS AND THE SEARCH FOR ‘VALUE SOVEREIGNTY’
Authors: Bauwens Michel
Published: September 2016

The commons is a new value regime, which broaders the conception of value as a commodity. In this article, we describe the value crisis that the commons creates within a capitalist context, and how various peer production communities are starting to challenge the capitalist value regime through attempts at 'value sovereigntity'.

O artigo discute a relação entre cogestão e sustentabilidade em propriedade comunal na Amazônia. De forma específica, debate como ocorre o processo de cogestão enquanto modelo de gestão para a sustentabilidade em uma Reserva Extrativista (RESEX). Tem-se como questões norteadoras: como ocorre a cogestão dos recursos comuns em RESEX? A cogestão pode ser entendida como uma inovação social para a gestão de recursos comuns em áreas protegidas? O estudo está alicerçado na teoria dos recursos comuns, “Common Pool Resources” (OSTROM, 1990) e no campo teórico em construção denominado Gestão Social (CANÇADO; PEREIRA; TENÓRIO, 2015). Entretanto, são utilizados como conceitos-chaves a cogestão e a coprodução para o bem comum. Metodologicamente, trata-se de um estudo de caso. Elegeu-se a RESEX Terra Grande do Pracuúba – Comunidade São José do Abacatal Turé, uma propriedade de estrutura comunal. Esta RESEX localiza-se no município de Curralinho, no estado do Pará, Amazônia brasileira. O estudo mostra que a cogestão como estratégia efetiva de gestão sustentável de recursos comuns é limitado em seu escopo e resultados. Embora a cogestão possa ser entendida como uma inovação social para a gestão e sustentabilidade de recursos comuns em áreas protegidas, este conceito advém de relações históricas estabelecidas intra-comunidades que não estão necessariamente presentes em RESEX.
USM PUSHING THE FRONTIERS OF TOWN PLANNING
Authors: Lik Meng Lee
Published: September 2016

The USM Campus in Penang is arguably one of the most beautiful in Malaysia set amidst undulating terrain with a rich treasure trove of exotic flora and fauna and panoramic views. But this former Military Camp has been subjected to 30 years of unrelenting development threatening its unique assets. Efforts are being made to protect those treasures in line with the aspirations of Agenda 21 but rather than following the conventional path, the USM Campus Planning Project has attempted to chart new frontiers in the use of JCT for planning and realigning the philosophy towards sustainable development. Amongst the innovations introduced are "publish as we plan", online surveys and the notion that we should "only take what we need" from nature up to a maximum threshold beyond which further development will be considered detrimental to the well-being of the campus community.
CONSERVATION WITH DEVELOPMENT: SHOWCASING LANGKAWI GEOPARK
Authors: Hashim Halimaton Saadiah , Aziz Sarah , Abdul Aziz Rahimah
Published: September 2016

Debates on whether conservation and development can be integrated have been going on for decades. Economists argue that the economy is the main support of the human race; conservationists argue that without sustainable natural and human resources, economic activities cannot be sustained; humanists argue that culture and history are necessary to sustain a community’s identity and continued existence. This article argues that conservation and development can be integrated through sustainable development. Land use planning is identified as the integrating process while sustainable land use development is the manifestation of integrated conservation and development. The geopark concept, developed by the Global Geopark Network (GGN), and endorsed by the United Nations Economic and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), which promotes conservation, education and sustainable development, is accepted as a concept which conserves natural and cultural heritage while enhancing socio-economic development for the sustainable wellbeing of the local population. Langkawi Geopark is an example of such integration.
GEOPARK FOR HERITAGE CONSERVATION: A NEED FOR INTEGRATED PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT

The adoption of ‘sustainable development’ concept by many countries of the world has drawn attention to the needs to  conserve and protect what has been identified as heritage. Due to their symbiotic relationship, the natural and cultural heritage needs to be conserved in an integrated manner, thus requiring integrated planning and management. The geopark concept introduced in 1999 provides this opportunity. The concept highlights the potential socio-economic development while conserving the natural and cultural environment. Because a geopark would contain different kinds of heritage a single integrated plan may help to avoid potential conflicts in managing them. Langkawi Geopark was established in 2007. Its multifaceted features and resources require that it be managed in an integrated manner to enable different stakeholders to be brought onto a common platform. This is to enable differing needs and interests to be taken into account without compromising the need for sustainable development.

Development Plans under the Malaysian Town and Country Planning Act 1976 serve as the principal planning instruments in guiding and regulating protection, conservation, use and development of land towards quality living environment. They also act as guides to investment and use of resources and provide frameworks for short and long term investments by public and private agencies, and for the co-ordination of their decisions. Planning and development control at the lowest level then regulates development so that it complies with land use plans. Through land use planning, sustainable development, protection and conservation of natural and cultural heritage resources can be regulated. For Langkawi Geopark, tourism is the most important sector in its economic development. To further enhance and capitalise from this sector, eco-tourism with iconic geo-bio-cultural sites can be promoted through implementing the Geopark concept. This article describes how the geopark concept in Langkawi is implemented through land use planning.
THE IMPORTANCE OF GEOLOGICAL HERITAGE RESOURCES IN LAND USE PLANNING: EXPERIENCE FROM LANGKAWI GEOPARK
Authors: Ali Che Aziz , Unjah Tanot
Published: September 2016

Being an oldest landmass with the most complete Paleozoic rock sequence Langkawi archipelago hosts the richest geological diversity and heritage resources in the country. As a popular tourist destination, the scenic beauty has attracted tourists to Langkawi without them realising that the beauty has been created by the islands’ rich geological heritage diversity. To date more than 90 geoheritage sites of highly significant scientific, aesthetic, social or recreational value have been identified. Some of these geoheritage sites have become popular tourist sites. To ensure the sustainability of the tourism industry Langkawi needs to have a comprehensive and practical conservation strategy and mechanism. Without a good conservation policy the geoheritage sites are constantly under threat and under stress due to the need of space for development. To ensure the sustainability of these natural resources it is timely to include geoheritage sites in future land use planning.

Langkawi Geopark was bestowed the status of a global geopark by the Global Geoparks Network (GGN) and endorsed by the UNESCO as the 52nd member of the GGN in 2007, making it the first in Malaysia and South East Asia to be given the status. The status is due to its many unique and significant geological, biological, and cultural features in Langkawi. There are four types of geoheritage conservation mechanism in Langkawi Geopark, namely geosites, geological monuments, landscapes of scenic beauty and Geoforest Parks. These proposed geoheritage conservation mechanisms are being implemented at various stages from planning to establishment and monitoring. So far, 97 geosites have been identified in Langkawi Geopark, but there has not been any biosite identified, even though Langkawi Geopark is known for the high biodiversity of flora and fauna, many of which are endemic and rare. This article highlights nine potential biosites for biological conservation in Langkawi Geopark. These biosites are identified based on the presence of rare and endemic species and/or based on type locality, which is the original location where the species was found and described. The nine biosites are Gunung Raya, Wat Wanaram, Lubuk Semilang, Telaga Tujuh, Pulau Singa Besar, Sungai Kilim/Kisap, Sg. Temurun, Gua Kelawar, and Teluk Datai. Each biosite is accompanied by description of the area, species, threats, conservation values, and potential for development and conservation measures. Although only nine biosites are identified so far, this number is bound to increase in future when more sites for the biologically important flora, invertebrate fauna and marine flora and fauna groups are included.
