Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture in Kyiv (Ukraine): "Crisis Induced Strategy" versus Recreational Resource
No full textFor the study 240 Kyiv households with urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) have been surveyed in 2005. Quotas were assigned to four different types of plots. A standardized questionnaire was developed to collect data on crop and animal production, inputs, sales of produce for income, importance of the plot for self-sufficiency, recreation and leisure time. A factor analysis is employed to reduce attitudinal data. Based on factor scores a cluster analysis is conducted to segment the respondents into more homogeneous groups and to show multiple purposes of UPA. Four clusters labeled as “Seekers of leisure activities”, “UPA-dependent growers”, “Recreation-oriented growers” and “Little engaged growers” are created. Multiple purposes of UPA are shown by profiling the clusters due to demographic, socioeconomic and other selected characteristics. The results show that depending on the type of plot the importance of UPA shifts from livelihood necessity to recreational resource or combines both.Urban and peri-urban agriculture, livelihood, Ukraine, Farm Management,
Indicadores de risco para a peri-implantite
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia, Florianópolis, 2014.O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os indicadores de risco sistêmicos e locais associados com a peri-implantite e sua prevalência. Os critérios de inclusão para o estudo compreenderam: pacientes tratados com implantes de titânio Implacil De Bortoli (São Paulo, Brasil) na Fundação para o Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico da Odontologia (FUNDECTO), da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), no período de 1998 a 2012. Foram examinados 183 pacientes, reabilitados com 916 implantes em função por pelo menos 1 ano. As variáveis foram avaliadas segundo condição sistêmica do paciente, características do implante, coroa protética e parâmetros clínicos. A regressão logística não demonstrou associação de características do implante com a PI. Houve correlação estatística positiva para histórico de doença periodontal (DP), próteses cimentadas, presença de facetas de desgaste na coroa protética e próteses totais. A PI apresentou risco aumentado em 2.20 vezes para histórico de DP, 3.62 vezes para próteses cimentadas em relação às parafusadas, 2.43 vezes na presença de facetas de desgaste na coroa protética e 16.11 vezes para próteses totais em relação as parafusadas. Foram relacionados como indicadores de risco para a PI histórico de DP, próteses cimentadas, presença de facetas de desgaste na coroa protética e próteses totais. As características dos implantes não foram relacionadas com a PI.Abstract : The aim of this study was to identify systemic and local risk indicators associated with peri-implantitis (PI) and its prevalence. Inclusion criteria for the study were patients treated with osseointegrated implants (Implacil De Bortoli, Sao Paulo, Brazil) at FUNDECTO (University of Sao Paulo, USP), from 1998 to 2012. There were examined 183 patients, rehabilitated with 916 implants in function for 1 year at least. Variables were evaluated according to patient's systemic condition, implant's characteristics, prosthetic crown and clinical parameters. Logistic regression did not show any association between implant's characteristics with PI. Also, it was identified an increased risk of 2.20 times for historic of periodontal disease (PD), 3.62 times for cemented restorations compared to screw-retained, 2.43 times when displayed wear facets on the prosthetic crown and 16.11 times for total rehabilitations when compared to single rehabilitations. There were related as risk indicators for PI the historic of periodontal disease, cemented prostheses, presence of wear facets on the prosthetic crown and in total rehabilitations. Implants' characteristics were not related with PI

A review of policies and strategies affecting the peri-urban interface
No full textAs discussed elsewhere (Adell, 1999; Allen, 1999), whilst there is no accepted definition of what precisely constitutes the "peri-urban interface", the project team has identified at least three different approaches from where it has been conventionally conceptualised. These approaches may be classified according to the set of variables they choose to emphasise: physical attributes, such as proximity to the city and poor infrastructure; socio-economic variables; or urban-rural flows (of people, energy, goods)
Peri-urbanisation, Social Heterogeneity and Ecological Simplification
No full textPeri-urban development pressure on and near Australian coastlines is resulting in the conversion of agricultural land for rural-residential use. The impact of larger and more diverse human populations upon the ecological assets remaining in agricultural landscapes has consequently become a policy concern. This paper contributes to these policy debates by integrating the results of parallel social and ecological research projects commissioned to improve natural resource management in peri-urbanising regions. The research was undertaken in the case study region of South East Queensland, the region supporting Australia’s most rapid population growth. Our results indicate that both social and ecological communities cross a fragmentation threshold due to peri-urban development whereby they become ecologically simple and socially heterogeneous in a coupling that cedes a poor diagnosis for biodiversity retention.stored soil water, dryland grain cropping, extension, social systems, RD&E, differentiation
Water poverty in the peri-urban territories of Mumbai, India
No full textThis paper addresses water poverty in the peri-urban areas of Mumbai. The term "water poverty" refers to a variety of situations where people lack from sufficient water in terms of quality and quantity or from enough money to buy water from formal and informal providers. The aim of this paper is to identify "water poor peri-urban population" and examine their access to water and how they satisfy their needs. Peri-urban areas are undergoing rapid transformations in the form of economic development, urbanization, demographic changes, environmental hazards all of which are having implications on the demand and supply of water. The water policies are not able to adapt to these rapid transformations. Therefore, a growing population lacks from sufficient access to water, in terms of being supplied by a large distribution network, or by private operators using alternative means.demand of water ; water poverty ; access to water ; peri-urban aera ; India ; Mumbai

Dona Generosa e as crianças disparam... outros modos de ver a Lagoa do Peri
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Educação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, Florianópolis, 2010Uma pesquisa que encontra crianças. Crianças entre 9 e 13 anos de idade, de uma escola municipal do sul da Ilha de Santa Catarina, Brasil. Crianças que são convidadas a brincar de faz-de-conta. Atenção! Correio! E lá vamos para a trilha no Parque Municipal da Lagoa do Peri. Descobrir. Pesquisar. Experimentar. Percorrer um caminho já instituído e explorá-lo de outras formas. Existem máquinas fotográficas e filmadoras circulando pelos espaços. A misteriosa dona Generosa não foi descoberta. Quem sabe, um dia? Por enquanto, ficam pontos de interrogação em cada cabecinha. Ficam fotos, vídeos, falas, desenhos e escritas sobre o que os pesquisadores e pesquisadoras perceberam, sentiram, viram, duvidaram sobre os seres fantásticos da Lagoa do Peri.
