The use of geotechnologies to map the levels of environmental fragility in a municipality is an important environmental planning strategy, especially when it is intended to make a conscious use of the area's natural resources through its zoning. Therefore, the objective of this research was to carry out, through the implementation of geotechnologies, a study of environmental fragility in a municipality occupied, intensively, by mining activities and agriculture. As a case study, the municipality of Paracatu - Minas Gerais was adopted. Pedological, lithological, hydrographic, hypsometric, declivity and land use and occupation aspects were raised, in addition to the drainage network, the municipal boundary and mining activity. Finally, using Fuzzy Logic with the use of weights defined by the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) method, the maps of slope, land use and cover, lithology, pedology and drainage network were used to prepare a map of environmental fragility of the municipality. It was concluded that the municipality is susceptible to negative environmental impacts, mainly in its urban network and in the area of open-pit minning, and that these can be better evaluated through the use of geotechnologies aimming at subsidizing urban planning, which is extremely important for the municipality of Paracatu - MG, which is currently undergoing changes in its master plan and intends to expand.

Abstract:This exploration of the politics of land-use reform in New York’s vast Adirondack Mountains provides a revealing window onto the ambiguities, evolution, and importance of environmental liberalism during the 1970s. A distinctive set of circumstances, featuring forceful advocacy by Governor Nelson Rockefeller and propitious political timing, led to the creation in the early 1970s of one of the most ambitious state-level environmental reforms in modern American history. But implementation during the mid- and late 1970s proved challenging. Environmental management by a new regional agency that possessed powerful regulatory authority over all public and private lands in the region produced discontents, distrust, and organized opposition among both developers and property-rights advocates on the right and environmental advocates on the left. The result was an uneasy, enduring legacy: the new regulatory institution and key environmental planning ideas of the early 1970s and the later, wide-ranging discontents would coexist in similar forms for decades to come.

Environmental Planning And Management

The rapid pace of urbanization has presented numerous challenges for developing countries such as Jamaica. The effects of urbanization coupled with poor environmental and development practices have exerted tremendous pressure on the country's fragile and limited natural resources. This issue is exacerbated by poverty, poor urban planning and management and lack of enforcement of existing land use regulations. The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the challenges in reversing negative environmental trends and practices which is increasing the vulnerability of the population, economy, infrastructure and other vulnerable elements of the society to the devastating impacts of natural hazards. The growing threats from hurricanes and tropical storms has have occurred over the last 10 years have highlighted the need for more sustainable developtnent. The report concludes with a number of recommendations that are critical to address the never ending cycle of environmental degradation.

The Impact

The Australian petroleum industry has been involved in environmental planning and has developed an awareness of multiple land use over the past twentyfive years, more particularly over the past decade. This is in accord with the World Conservation Strategy and the National Conservation Strategy for Australia upon which the Australian State and Territory conservation strategies are based.As the term implies, multiple land use means a sharing of the land. The range of uses includes reserves, heritage areas, agriculture, urban and suburban development and mining. To achieve multiple land use requires the restoration of the environment to its pre-development state as quickly as possible so that both uses can be maintained. This requires that the new user assess the impact of his development well before it begins. This assessment is normally achieved through an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or Environmental Review and Management Plan (ERMP). Most operators are familiar with these requirements.This paper deals primarily with the restoration of the existing environment. Restoration is achieved by preserving, to the greatest extent possible, the vegetation and topsoil which are stripped from the development area. As little stockpiling as possible is done and the topsoil, mixed with the broken down vegetation, is returned as quickly as possible. In this way the contained seed load and nutrient values are not lost and regeneration results.Apart from the practical aspects there is a need for the workforce involved to understand what they are conserving and why they are conserving it. A delicate balance exists in nature wherein the surviving plants and animals are able to cope with natural disasters. Management plans must include the principle that the collective impact of a new development will at no time exceed the impact of natural catastrophes.
