Book Description
En raison des changements climatiques, le territoire québécois se retrouve de plus en plus exposé à des événements climatiques extrêmes imprévisibles, dont les conséquences peuvent être dommageables pour la population et les infrastructures. Dans ce contexte, et afin de réduire les vulnérabilités sur leur territoire, certaines villes québécoises (Montréal, Trois-Rivières, Sherbrooke et Laval) ont adopté des plans d'adaptation aux changements climatiques. Mais qu'en est-il des autres municipalités et des municipalités régionales de comté (MRC)? À partir des résultats de l'analyse du Plan d'action 2006-2012 sur les changements climatiques (PACC 2006-2012), du Plan d'action 2013-2020 sur les changements climatiques (PACC 2013-2020) et de la Stratégie d'adaptation aux changements climatiques 2013-2020 du gouvernement du Québec, ainsi que d'entrevues effectuées auprès de gestionnaires municipaux de 31 municipalités et MRC, il est démontré que, malgré les incitations étatiques, peu d'entre elles ont les outils, les connaissances, les moyens financiers ou la volonté politique pour faire face aux aléas climatiques présents et futurs, ce qui, dans leur cas, ralentit passablement la transition urbanistique qu'exigent les circonstances climatiques actuelles. Conscients de ces freins, nous proposons des pistes de solution en vue d'encourager la prise en compte de l'adaptation aux changements climatiques dans les documents de planification et dans la réglementation québécoise en urbanisme dans le contexte d'une éventuelle révision de la Loi sur l'aménagement et l'urbanisme. Mots-clés : adaptation aux changements climatiques, organisations municipales, urbanisme résilient.

Hydrology in a Changing World
Author: Shailesh Kumar Singh
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030021971
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges in hydrological modeling. Hydrology, on both a local and global scale, has undergone dramatic changes, largely due to variations in climate, population growth and the associated land-use and land-cover changes. Written by experts in the field, the book provides decision-makers with a better understanding of the science, impacts, and consequences of these climate and land-use changes on hydrology. Further, offering insights into how the changing behavior of hydrological processes, related uncertainties and their evolution affect the modeling process, it is of interest for all researchers and practitioners using hydrological modeling.

Reshaping Urban Conservation
Author: Ana Pereira Roders
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 981108887X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 591
Book Description
This volume focuses on the implementation of the 2011 UNESCO Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL approach), designed to foster the integration of heritage management in regional and urban planning and management, and strengthen the role of heritage in sustainable urban development.Earlier publications and research looked at the underlying theory of why the HUL approach was needed and how this theory was developed and elaborated by UNESCO. A comprehensive analysis was carried out in consultation with a multitude of actors in the twenty-first-century urban scene and with disciplinary approaches that are available to heritage managers and practitioners to implement the HUL approach.This volume aims to be empirical, describing, analyzing, and comparing 28 cities taken as case studies to implement the HUL approach. From those cases, many lessons can be learned and much guidance shared on best practices concerning what can be done to make the HUL approach work.Whereas the previous studies served to illustrate issues and challenges, in this volume the studies point to innovations in regional and urban planning and management that can allow cities to avoid major conflicts and to further develop in competitiveness. These accomplishments have been possible by building partnerships, devising financial strategies, and using heritage as a key resource in sustainable urban development, to name but a few effective strategies.For these reasons, this volume is primarily pragmatic, linked to the daily work and challenges of practitioners and administrators, using specific cases to assess what was and is good about current practices and what can be improved, in accordance with the HUL approach and aims.

Institutional Grammar
Author: Christopher K. Frantz
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030863727
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the Institutional Grammar, an approach for analyzing the design of institutions. To lay the foundation for the application of the Grammar for different application areas, the book first provides a background of the IG, before motivating the introduction of an updated version of the Institutional Grammar, called the Institutional Grammar 2.0 that aims at representing institutions more comprehensively and with greater validity. The book then turns to applications and introduces methodological guidance alongside expositions of emerging analytical applications of the “Grammar” that include presentations of current practice, as well as developing novel analytical opportunities that the analyst can apply or build upon for their application. This book is aimed at students, faculty, and practitioners of diverse disciplinary backgrounds with varying levels of understanding of institutional analysis and experience conducting it.

Restoring the Balance
Author: Gail Guthrie Valaskakis
Publisher: Univ. of Manitoba Press
ISBN: 0887553613
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
First Nations peoples believe the eagle flies with a female wing and a male wing, showing the importance of balance between the feminine and the masculine in all aspects of individual and community experiences. Centuries of colonization, however, have devalued the traditional roles of First Nations women, causing a great gender imbalance that limits the abilities of men, women, and their communities in achieving self-actualization.Restoring the Balance brings to light the work First Nations women have performed, and continue to perform, in cultural continuity and community development. It illustrates the challenges and successes they have had in the areas of law, politics, education, community healing, language, and art, while suggesting significant options for sustained improvement of individual, family, and community well-being. Written by fifteen Aboriginal scholars, activists, and community leaders, Restoring the Balance combines life histories and biographical accounts with historical and critical analyses grounded in traditional thought and approaches. It is a powerful and important book.
