    A site and its narratives: Mongol Daguur, an area where it is still possible to halt the “Fortress Conservation”

    No full text
    The research focuses on the Mongol Daguur – situated in the most north-eastern province (aimag) of Mongolia, Dornod – which the Mongolian Parliament identified as a restricted access area in the early 1990s and the state legislature recognized as a special protection area in 1995. A Ramsar site, it has been in the Unesco’s World Network of Biosphere Reserves since 2007. The zoning of the area providing for different “levels” of conservation and human presence (see Namkhai 2021). The creation and enforcement of protected areas with the identification of the zones and, later, the redrawing of its borders, caused friction among the inhabitants and the authorities, which currently plays out through silent strategies and “avoidance” on the part of the former and notices and pressure with fines on the part of the latter. Through the lens of the “fortress conservation” (Robinson 2007, Brockington 2002), the article considers a network of human and nonhuman actors (mobile pastoralists, authorities, companies, laws, animals, bodies of water, etc.) and the narratives around the conflict – at times covert, at times overt – between the authorities and nomads, unfolding in the second part with the topic of the “social life of water” (Wagner 2013) developing the case study of wetlands and springs. Our investigation will lead us to examine and critically discuss the fortress conservation process that is taking place in these areas, identifying the possibility of stopping it and implementing policies that go against it

    La transizione paesaggistica del sistema ferroviario della Sardegna

    No full text
    Le immagini del processo di infrastrutturazione del territorio create dalla geografia industriale, capaci di fornire grandi informazioni sui siti, sulle tecniche usate, sugli scambi commerciali attivati hanno lasciato sullo sfondo la partecipazione delle maestranze e la percezione delle popolazioni, i processi di reinsediamento della popolazione attivati o favoriti, le trasformazioni territoriali e i cambiamenti ambientali che li hano accompagnati. In un momento nel quale si osserva uno sforzo generalizzato di definizione o di creazione di vocazioni turistiche e di reidefinizione delle tipicità e dei caratteri del paesaggio rurale dei territori in questione, l'ipotesi di una riconversione delle linee ferroviarie secondarie secondarie o dismesse per usi turistico-ricreativi fornisce elementi di riflessione importanti sul ruolo del paesaggio

    Dit afstudeerproject omvat een binnenstedelijke transformatie opgave waarbij een verouderd industriegebied gerevitaliseerd wordt tot een verlenging van het stadscentrum van Breda. Het plangebied is een onderdeel van de Spoorzone Breda nabij het historisch stadscentrum. De komst van het HogeSnelheidsLijn (HSL) shuttle station heeft als impuls voor herontwikkelingen binnen dit gebied gediend en is één van de aanleidingen waarom er is gekozen voor deze ontwerplocatie. De verschillende activiteiten rondom het spoor maken de problematiek erg actueel.Urban regeneration (stedelijke vernieuwing)UrbanismArchitectur
