  2. 21. Paving the way for green qualities -Role of Environmental Assessment

    Author : Sara Khoshkar; Berit Balfors; Lennart Folkeson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Urban green space; urban densification; sustainable planning; environmental assessment; planning practice;

    Abstract : Implementing urban development projects in planning practice while simultaneously providing sufficient green spaces has proven to be challenging. As a result, there is a growing need for practical approaches and tools for the integration of urban green qualities in the on-going densification of cities. READ MORE

  4. 22. Biotope and biodiversity mapping in forest and urban green space : methodological review and developments

    Author : Tian Gao; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Forests play an important role in providing ecosystem services that support the ecological integrity of an area and also supply social benefits for humans. Many of the essential ecological and social benefits derived from forest are underpinned by its biodiversity. READ MORE

  5. 23. Wastelands of difference? Urban nature and more-than-human difference in Berlin and Gothenburg

    Author : Mathilda Rosengren; Matthew Gandy; Maan Barua; Steve Hinchliffe; University of Cambridge; []

    Abstract : This thesis explores more-than-human entanglements of contemporary urban environments in order to develop a rearticulation of urban landscapes as spaces decidedly beyond the exclusively human. Taking its cue from the question “How do we live with urban difference today?,” such spaces, the thesis argues, emerge through, as well as change with, a variety of socio-ecological entwinements.

  6. 24. Equidistribution towards the Green current in complex dynamics

    Author : Rodrigo Parra; Michael Benedicks; Romain Dujardin; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Algebra; geometry and mathematical analysis; Algebra; geometri och analys;

    Abstract : Given a holomorphic self-map of complex projective space of de-gree larger than one, we prove that there exists a finite collection oftotally invariant algebraic sets with the following property: given anypositive closed (1,1)-current of mass 1 with no mass on any element of this family, the sequence of normalized pull-backs of the current converges to the Green current. Under suitable geometric conditions on the collection of totally invariant algebraic sets, we prove a sharper equidistribution result. READ MORE

  7. 25. A new storm over the Naqab : The temporality of space in Israeli settler colonialism

    Author : Johanna Adolfsson; Anders Wästfelt; Ulf Jansson; Irus Braverman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Settler colonial studies; posthumanism; political ecology; transhumance; frontier; Negev Naqab; Israel Palestine; geografi med kulturgeografisk inriktning; Geography with Emphasis on Human Geography;

    Abstract : How can a posthumanist conceptualization of landscape, one that embraces temporality and practice, help us to better understand contemporary settler colonialism? This thesis explores this proposition through its analyses of the desire of the Israeli state to ‘settle’ the Naqab. The Naqab, an area located in the south of modern-day Israel and within its borders, is continuously narrated as under threat of being lost to the Palestinian Bedouins. READ MORE
