This paper considers the influence of uncertainty with respect to GDP and population total and age structure on long-run environmental impact projections. A simple model, based on the stochastic version of the IPAT equation, is used to generate projections of two environmental impacts for which...

Using the approved large scale methodology AM0039 and approved baseline methodology AM0010, an estimated 7,329.04 tCO<SUB align="right"><SMALL>2e</SMALL></SUB>/yr are typically generated from degradation of organic wastes at the landfill in Mauritius. Baseline emissions for anaerobic degradation of organic wastewaters (OWW) in open...</small></sub>

This paper presents the calibration of a catchment water quality model developed for the continuous simulation of stormwater pollutants from a catchment to the catchment outlet. Calibration of the model was performed using the rainfall and water quality data collected for 'Saltwater Creek...

Port cities as hubs for trade and exchange show the extremes of rapid growth and catastrophic decline: they show the complex and interconnected problems of change in urban systems, and the challenge of maintaining local 'sustainable wealth' and prosperity. This suggests a transition from a...

The article describes the evaluation model for cultural heritage in spatial planning, created in the shifting perspective from a static-contemplative to a dynamic-planning understanding of the heritage. The shift is manifested in the creation of the model which allows analysis, diagnosis,...

Our research empirically explores the relative importance of firm size in fostering economic growth by using cross-sectional variation in the relative location of large and small firms in urban centres of employment. Our method compares the relative location of large and small firms between the...

Proceeding from the empirical data analysis carried out for Ukraine and 37 other European countries, the author has traced a quadratic relation between the greenhouse gases emission level (at the example of CO<SUB align="right">2</SUB>) and the economic development. The analysis focused on researching the possibility...</sub>

Over a century back, while commenting on the rapid urbanisation process in Europe, the great philosopher and sociologist in Marxist tradition, Lefebvre (1996, p.119) had stated that "the expanding city attacks the countryside, corrodes and dissolves it". In Indian context, the above statement...
