This project focuses on the protection and management of Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns, renowned for their historical and architectural significance. Despite global pressures from tourism and commercial development, Edinburgh has established a robust world cultural heritage protection and management system. The approach integrates top-down and bottom-up strategies, involving dedicated municipal officials and an independent organization, the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The city’s emphasis on ...

Kenya’s biological resources are critical in its efforts to achieve sustainable development and ensure improved living standards for its population. The country’s biological resources are diverse and include those that are found in protected areas such as game parks and game reserves, gazetted forests, non-protected areas, water bodies, coastal and marine environments, and in the ASALs. Kenya’s biodiversity strategies derive from a legal regime that includes the constitution and other legislatio...

With the growth of urban populations, the regressive dynamics of the world’s forest areas, particularly in Senegal, have been observed. This situation is manifested in precarious, spontaneous and unplanned housing, leading to urban sprawl. This urban growth also has repercussions on riverside communities, which tend to accommodate more housing due to the availability of land. As a result, urban sprawl affects natural areas, degrading forest massifs. With this in mind, we are studying the commune...

Human activities are considered one of the main contributors towards environmental changes. An assessment of the impacts of land use and land cover changes is necessary to facilitate proper planning and management of environmental resources. The objective of this study was to determine the land use and land cover change hotspots and drivers in lagha bor catchment, Wajir County in Kenya. This was achieved by use of Google Earth Engine (GEE) where archived landsat images of 1986, 1990, 2000, 2010 ...

Groundwater is one of the most important water sources relied upon especially in arid and semi-arid areas where surface water is limited. The sustainability of groundwater resources has been under threat due to land use and land cover changes. This study aims to determine the effects of land use and land cover changes on integrated surface and groundwater resources within the Lagha-Bor catchment for the period 1990 to 2020. Landsat images of 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020 were used along with integra...

Based on the comprehensive use of logging, pressure measurement, testing and other data, the abnormal pressure was identified, the pressure distribution characteristics and mudstone compaction mode were studied, and the causes of overpressure were analyzed. The results show that there is overpressure in the deep area of the study area, and the plane gradually changes from the north to the central area to overpressure, the pressure coefficient in the main depression area is 1.0 - 1.6, and the pre...
