La Consulta Popular Y El Distrito Metropolitano, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. 2011 FLACSO, Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales. Sede Ecuador

La Consulta Popular Y El Distrito Metropolitano, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

La nueva Constitución del Ecuador -elaborada en Montecristi y aprobada mediante plebiscito en el año 2008- estableció el camino que se debía seguir para la aprobación de los Distritos Metropolitanos Autónomos en el país. Primero, señaló que para asumir esa condición se debería contar con al menos un 7 por ciento de la población nacional; segundo, que sus competencias serían la suma de las atribuciones regionales, provinciales y cantonales; y tercero, que para llegar a esta condición se debía contar con una Ley y un Estatuto de autonomía por cada jurisdicción. El Estatuto de Autonomía es la carta de nacimiento …


Open Space Planning; Utilizing Green Infrastructure To Preserve Community, Cynthia V. Reynolds 2011 University of Connecticut - Storrs

Open Space Planning; Utilizing Green Infrastructure To Preserve Community, Cynthia V. Reynolds

Master's Theses

Current sprawl development patterns typical of contemporary development in the United States are unsustainable. The uniform development guidelines prevent context sensitive community design, degrading our communities and consuming large amounts of natural and cultural resources. Significant progress has been made in reorganizing community planning towards sustainable development practices. However, these alternatives still work under the misconception that there is a disconnect between planning open space networks and planning development. Through a comprehensive land use planning approach, this project explores combining concepts of landscape ecology, green infrastructure planning and conservation subdivision patterns to design an integrative open space/community network.

Conocemos Las Fronteras, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. 2011 FLACSO, Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales. Sede Ecuador

Conocemos Las Fronteras, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

Para que las fronteras existan tienen que estar en los medios de comunicación nacionales y para que ello ocurra deben convertirse en regiones potentes o producir acontecimientos convocantes, a la manera del “rating”. Si ello no ocurre, las fronteras no existen, porque están localizadas en los bordes y en los márgenes del “país” real, que es el que está ubicado en el centro, en las metrópolis, en las capitales. Cuando las fronteras aparecen en los medios es por la presencia de un hecho llamativo, generalmente de violencia, que conducirá a estigmatizar al conjunto de la región; es decir, que existirá …


Las Fronteras: Una Cuestión De Derechos Humanos, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. 2011 FLACSO, Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales. Sede Ecuador

Las Fronteras: Una Cuestión De Derechos Humanos, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

La Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos fue adoptada por la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas el 10 de diciembre de 1948 en París; momento a partir del cual la humanidad lo asume como fuente de derecho internacional (consuetudinario). Posteriormente y casi 30 años después será la Carta Internacional de Derechos Humanos la que obliga a los Estados firmantes a cumplirlos. De esta condición inicial se desprenden algunos elementos de interés en el caso de la seguridad ciudadana en las fronteras interestatales. Partiendo que una frontera se define por el encuentro-separación de dos Estados bajo la lógica de la …

Fútbol Y Violencia: Las Razones De Una Sin Razón, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. 2011 FLACSO, Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales. Sede Ecuador

Fútbol Y Violencia: Las Razones De Una Sin Razón, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

El conflicto es consustancial al fútbol, porque encarna una disputa entre dos bandos que buscan la victoria por todos los medios a su alcance. Pero esta disputa no siempre es pacífica, tanto que el juego está impregnado por la incorporación de los principios, categorías y leguajes de la guerra. Allí la estrategia y la táctica como organizadores pacíficos del conflicto. El disparo de misiles, la existencia de bombazos, el cobro de tiros libres y la falta máxima de un penal. Un jugador potente es el tanque Hurtado, si tiene un tiro fuerte será el Cañoncito Peñaherrera o si el defensa …

Land Classification Surrounding Spirit Lake At Mount St. Helens, Washington, Danielle Dahlquist 2011 University of Washington Tacoma

Land Classification Surrounding Spirit Lake At Mount St. Helens, Washington, Danielle Dahlquist

GIS Certificate Projects

Introduction:Following the eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18th 1980, the ecosystem of Spirit Lake was dramatically altered and, since then, there has been a significant increase in the amount of primary productivity in the south end of the lake. The focus of this research is to identify land cover types surrounding Spirit Lake which, in the future, could be used to identify possible nutrient point sources flowing into surface waters entering the lake. The watershed pouring into the lake is covered by nitrogen-fixing vegetation that could potentially be contributing to the increased productivity. The work completed for …


Toxic Release Facilities Analysis In The Southern Puget Sound Region, Niki Hung 2011 University of Washington Tacoma

Toxic Release Facilities Analysis In The Southern Puget Sound Region, Niki Hung

GIS Certificate Projects

Introduction:Through energy consumptions, recycling, and different kinds of operations, numerous facilities are disposing and releasing a significant amount of chemicals every day. Within all those chemicals, some could be functioned as fertilizers while most are toxic, threatening both the environment and people’s health. The purpose of this project is to find out the areas with relatively serious toxic concentration in the south part of the Puget Sound region (Pierce, King, and Kitsap County), as well as who are the most affected people in those areas. The general public who are interested in environmental issues might get the idea of …
