In architecture, the term resilience tends to be used narrowly describe a building’s structural and environmental performance in quantitative terms—but can a building be called resilient if it fails to make inspiring spaces for people, promote well-being, or improve people’s experience? The chapter begins by exploring how the term is currently evaluated in and around buildings, through discussion of related concepts such as sustainability, passive survivability, and performance gaps. The chapter traces the emergence of a new generation of building evaluation metrics and certification systems that are focused not solely on environmental performance but also consider synergies between people’s experience and our natural resources, such as Active House. The work of GXN and 3XN in Denmark are discussed, in relation to how their research explores resilience and sustainability by focusing on the social aspects of how buildings make people feel. Examples from the multifunctional, process-based strategies used in a series of new climate adaptation renovations in Copenhagen, Denmark, are discussed as exemplary resilient design projects that address neighborhood flooding by simultaneously improving the qualities of public spaces and better connecting people to nature. The chapter concludes with a discussion of how locally specific and socially focused designs can support more resilient environments for people.

The Relationship

ABSTRACT Urban area is dominated by land that  functioned  of  the  interest of  economy and  settlement,  but only a few land allocated for wildlife. The butterflies was one of the wildlife that could be found         in urban areas.The remaining habitat that can be used by butterflies assumed confined to the urban green space. Based on its life cycle, the butterflies having an initial phase (egg to larvae) is a phase which is generally require specific habitat. This research aims to determine the relationship between landscape characteristic and oviposition site preferences of butterfly. This research was conducted on April to June, 2014 at fifteen urban green spaces in East Jakarta by using descriptive survey technique. Landscape characteristics measured include area, perimeter, lawn area, closed vegetation area, open vegetation area, non vegetation area. Landscape characteristic not only measured from urban green space, but also measured from the area around urban green space within the scope of 100 meters  buffer. Results show that there is a relationship between landscape characteristic and oviposition site preferences. Significant positive correlation between the abundance and area correlation coefficients   rs (0,546), open vegetation area rs (0,758) and non vegetation buffer area rs (0,688). There was no significant correlation between the abundance with perimeter area,  lawn  area,  closed  vegetation  area,  non vegetation  area,  lawn  buffer,  open  vegetation  buffer  and  closed  vegetation  buffer.   Keywords: caterpillar,landscape characteristic, oviposition site, preferences, urban green space

The Right

There is widespread consensus among environmental scientists that a holistic understanding of how natural resources are managed effectively at different scales requires a solid grasp on the functioning of governance institutions that link human users to the biophysical world in which they are embedded. Societies exist within complex social-ecological systems, in which the social and ecological components are tightly connected in systematic, but often hard to understand, ways. Institutions are, in essence, the lubricant that mediates the relationship between the two components; without the right institutions in place, no human society can tackle environmental problems successfully. Needless to say, the variation of societies and ecological systems around the world is vast and rich, which makes the study of institutional diversity and its effect on the management of natural resources both fascinating and daunting. From the rules to manage small-scale indigenous fisheries to the treaties to tackle global climate change, humans craft and enforce institutions to avoid “tragedies of the commons” that result when the prevalence of individual interests leads to the mismanagement (and sometimes sheer complete destruction) of resources that are open to multiple users. This article serves as an introductory guide for scholars and students with an interest in understanding how social scientists have researched institutions and their role in constraining human behavior in search of sustainable uses of natural resources. Sections cover research focusing on the definition, creation, development, evolution, and performance of institutions, as well as the operation of institutions at different scales and in different topic areas.

Site Preferences

Oviposition site preferences forGalerucella calmariensisandG. pusilla, biological weed control agents against purple loosestrife, were examined in 1994 and 1995. The leaves, stems, axils, and flower buds (G. pusilladid not oviposit on flower buds) were found to be the preferred oviposition sites. Oviposited egg masses may be used as a parameter within a biological control monitoring plan, providing information onGalerucellaestablishment and/or presence, estimating future population size, and providing biological control agent dispersal information. Monitoring for egg masses should concentrate on host plant leaves, where over 56% of all egg masses were oviposited.

On Farm

The study investigates the perceptions of the effects and impacts on the performance of agricultural and livestock farms based on the view of obtaining dynamic capabilities by the adoption of enterprise resource planning (ERP) technology. The dimensions for measuring farmers’ perceptions of ERP adoption were technological, organizational and environmental and their diffusion and the impacts measured on dynamic capabilities were on internal operations, costs, sales and natural resources. A total of 502 farmers directly involved in managing the production, located in the main agricultural areas of Brazil were interviewed. The results indicated that the perception of obtaining dynamic capabilities in the farms by adopting the ERP was significant, but with lower levels in costs and natural resources. The influence of farm size on ERP adoption and its perception on farm performance was not significant. The proposed model proved to be adequate and can be validated and compared with other producing regions.

A study of PPM methodologies, strategic management, and teaching baton of Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH) for implementing a software solution in managing projects of the Faculty of Natural Resources was performed. Through research, it was determined that there is a close relationship between the use of PPM and reducing the problems and performance improvement projects. This is in addition to the portfolio management project which has differences of tracking, time, resources, and the scope of traditional project management. It provides a global view thereof that strategic management must involve all levels of the organization. This will anticipate a correct decision. Also, with respect to projects in the Faculty of Natural Resources, 98% of teachers and the total authorities considered the urgent need to implement a software for strategic management of projects in the faculty. This is because 83% of them were conducted, while 80% performed linkage. A set of tools for application development under the cascade methodology for the monitoring and evaluation of projects entitled SIMEP was determined. By implementing SIMEP based on the use of PPM, the Faculty of Natural Resources provided information management project based on its submission, approval, execution, completion and delivery of results, and reporting activities, thereby enabling timely decision making.
