Local environmental action plans and the `glocalisation' of post-socialist governance: The Macedonian experience

Local Environmental Action Plans (LEAPs) are a useful starting point for the theoretical and empirical unravelling of the global post-Fordist socio-economic drive, within the framework of environmental policy devolution in Transition. Accordingly, this paper aims to identify the interconnected economic, social and political specifities involved in the formulation and institutionalisation of such projects in the Republic of Macedonia. Seven LEAPs - broadly representative of the immense micro-scale physical and social diversity of the country - have been selected for detailed review, so as to provide more fine-tuned insights that should be relevant for the wider LEAP process in Macedonia and beyond. Preliminary evidence about the realisation of these initiatives indicates that comprehensive implementation is highly dependent upon the realistic political and economic abilities (and interests) of local and national elites, plus international organisations.

The Town Plans and Sketches of William Stukeley

The eighteenth-century field archaeologist, William Stukeley, travelled widely throughout England to produce the numerous sketches and plans that illustrated his Itinerarium Curiosum. His work has generally not been seen as having made a serious contribution to the cartography or to the portrayal of the towns and landscape of preindustrial England, but the quality of his sketches and the relative accuracy of his town plans are explored here to suggest that this may be too harsh a view.     

Cross-Checking: A Method to Test the Comprehensiveness of Pigot’s Nineteenth-Century Plans of Manchester & Salford

The long sequence of Pigot’s plans of Manchester and Salford is used to test the concept that the dates of churches and chapels can be used as a valuable indicator of the completeness of the coverage of large-scale nineteenth-century town plans. The approach appears to hold some promise and suggests that Pigot’s plans were surprisingly comprehensive. This may reflect not merely his drawing on existing surveys but, more interestingly, may be the incidental product of collecting data for his town directories. The methodology could usefully be extended to explore the value of directory plans of other towns.     

太湖流域重污染区主要水污染物总量控制

太湖流域产业、人口集聚,水环境污染已经成为整个太湖流域经济可持续发展的制约因素之一,为解决经济发展引起的环境问题,对污染物排放实行总量控制至关重要.为此以太湖流域梅梁湾、竺山湾上游集水区域(重污染区)为研究区域,全面调查区域社会经济、产业结构、土地利用以及各类污染源现状,构建重污染区套网格水文、水质数学模型,计算区域水环境容量与污染物削减量,依据水功能区划与水域面积分配到各镇(街道),确定重污染区以镇(街道)级为基本单位的分阶段总量控制目标,制订主要污染物控制与负荷削减综合系统方案,提出2015年各类污染源重点工程措施,方案实施后区域河网水质平均达标率达80%,为太湖流域水环境管理提供技术支撑.     

基于IDA方法的交河故城金刚宝座式塔土建筑遗址地震易损性分析

增量动力分析（IDA）作为动力形式的静力推覆法,被广泛应用于建筑结构的抗震能力分析和性能评估中,但其在土建筑遗址地震易损性分析中的应用甚少。基于IDA方法尝试对交河故城塔林区金刚宝座式塔土建筑遗址进行在地震作用下的易损性和抗震能力分析,以谱加速度S_a（T₁,5%）作为地震动强度指标,最大层间位移角θ_max作为结构损伤指标进行IDA分析,得到土建筑遗址在一系列调幅地震动作用下的IDA曲线、地震需求概率模型和易损性曲线,计算出模型的倒塌率和CMR值。通过以上分析得出金刚宝座式塔的易损性和抗震能力,为今后土建筑遗址抗震保护提供理论基础和分析思路。     

When History May Lead us Astray: using historical documents to reconstruct swampy meadows/chains of ponds in the New South Wales Central Tablelands,Australia

This paper examines historical evidence on the occurrence and status of an important landscape element in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales: the swampy meadow/chain of ponds landform. Our findings reject the notion that it is possible to reconstruct this landform as it was at the time of early European settlement, based solely on early colonial documents. Furthermore the analysis of such documents should be used with appropriate caution when benchmarking this landform. These conclusions have been reached by analysing 826 nineteenth-century portion plans, 18 early explorers and settlers’ journals, letters and maps, and nine Surveyor General's maps and plans. We suggest that our findings have significant implications for developing management and restoration strategies, better informing conservation initiatives and the development of policies aimed at protecting, conserving and restoring the swampy meadow/chain of ponds landform. Our experience suggests that researchers involved in historical analyses of documents for similar purposes should be wary about factors such as the limitations and reliability of source data, unwarranted interpretations and the imprecise and/or contradictory use of terms. We also suggest that the possible subjective views of some observers, particularly those with limitations in interpreting such a landform, are further reasons to be cautious. If these factors are not taken into account it is very likely to result in a flawed interpretation. We conclude that both landform awareness and other perceptions of an observer at the time of early European settlement may present a hitherto unrecognised subjective element in this and other analyses which could limit the precision of historical reconstruction, without resort to other complementary methods.
