Moreover, some of our instincts developed for assessing hazards at plate boundaries might not apply here. Hence assessing hazards and drawing implications for the future is challenging, and how well it can be done heavily depends on the ability to assess the spatiotemporal distribution of past large earthquakes. This book explores some key issues in understanding hazards in slowly deforming areas. Examples include classic intraplate regions, such as Central and Northern Europe, Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, Australia, and North and South America, and regions of widely distributed strain, such as the Tien Shan Mountains in Central Asia. The papers in this volume are grouped into two sections. The first section deals with instrumental and historical earthquake data and associated hazard assessments. The second section covers methods from structural geology, palaeoseismology and tectonic geomorphology, and incorporates field evidence}, language = {en} } @book{Uhlenwinkel2013, author = {Uhlenwinkel, Anke}, title = {On the Importance of using appropriate concepts and theories}, isbn = {978-3-86956-234-6}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-22343, title = {Romania : migration, socio-economic transformation and perspectives of regional development}, series = {S{\"u}dosteuropa-Studien}, volume = {62}, journal = {S{\"u}dosteuropa-Studien}, editor = {Heller, Wilfried}, publisher = {S{\"u}dosteuropa-Ges}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, isbn = {3-925450-75-0}, pages = {342 S.}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-19215, title = {European Conference on Advances in Flood Research : proceedings}, series = {Potsdam-Institut f{\"u}r Klimafolgenforschung: PIK report}, volume = {65}, journal = {Potsdam-Institut f{\"u}r Klimafolgenforschung: PIK report}, editor = {Bronstert, Axel and Bismuth, Christine and Menzel, Lucas}, publisher = {Potsdam Inst. for Climate Impact Research}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {712 S.}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @book{KundzewiczBudhakooncharoenBronstertetal.2001, author = {Kundzewicz, Zbigniew W. and Budhakooncharoen, Saisunee and Bronstert, Axel and Hoff, Holger and Lettenmaier, Dennis P. and Menzel, Lucas and Schulze, Roland}, title = {Floods and droughts : coping with variability and climate change ; thematic backround paper [for the International Conference on Freshwater 2001, Bonn, 3-7 December 2001]}, publisher = {Secretariat of the International Conference on Freshwater}, address = {Bonn}, pages = {29 S.}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @book{Helms2001, author = {Helms, Gesa}, title = {Glasgow : the friendly city, the safe city ; an agency orienated enquiry into the practies of place marketing, safety and social inclusion}, series = {Praxis Kultur- und Sozialgeographie}, volume = {23}, journal = {Praxis Kultur- und Sozialgeographie}, publisher = {Univ.-Bibliothek Publ.-Stelle}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {3-935024-21-5}, issn = {0934-716x}, pages = {126 S.}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-17802, title = {Investigation of environmental quality and social structures in a mining area in the north west province of south africa}, series = {Stoffdynamik in Geosystemen}, volume = {5}, journal = {Stoffdynamik in Geosystemen}, editor = {Blumenstein, Oswald and Meiklejohn, I. and Schachtzabel, Hartmut}, publisher = {Selbstverl. der Arbeitsgruppe Stoffdynamik in Geosystemen}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {0949-4731}, pages = {156 S.}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @book{ChenLiuNiuetal.2003, author = {Chen, Rui and Liu, Jiaqi and Niu, Wenyuan and Deng, Xiangzheng and Mu, Guijin and Wagner, Mayke and Geldmacher, Karl}, title = {Critical controlling of PRED system of oasis ecology in the arid region of central Asia : a case study of Keriya River Valley oases, Xinjiang}, series = {Ecosystems dynamics, ecosystem-society interactions, and remote sensing applications for semi-arid and arid land}, volume = {4890}, journal = {Ecosystems dynamics, ecosystem-society interactions, and remote sensing applications for semi-arid and arid land}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {0-8194-4676-9}, year = {2003}, abstract = {Oases is a special ecosystem formed in arid climate and hungriness environment, in which resident, water and soil are the principal factor and exchanges of materials, energy and information are the main functional characteristics. The oases regions in central Asia are not only the basilic cradle of civilization of human beings, but also the important strategic places in world growing awareness of the potential benefits. We choose Keriya River Basin oases in south of Xinjiang as a case to study critical controlling of Oases Evolution, Based on the theories and methods used for environmental geology, physical geography, land resource research, and oases ecology. This study try to indicate the essential factors driving the oases ecosystem and the interactional dynamic mechanism in different scales and levels, confirm the optimal equilibrium aggregate of harmonious development between Population, Resources, Environment and Development, and establish the critical controlling pattern of sustainable development. We advance the indicator system to research the evolution of the PRED System of oases in Keriya River valley oases, in basis of the information derived from the field investigation and local materials. According to inquisitional result based on technical support of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sense (RS), the comparisons and analyses are carried out in land use at the upper reaches, vegetation change in the middle reaches, and desertification at the lower reaches, which narrates the regulations of Keriya River Valley oases land cover dynamic change. The main land cover types represent distinct characteristics of the local place. On the basis of field survey and statistical data, we use ARCINFO software to preprocess these data and the 2 TM satellite images. Through analyzing these images resulting from post- classification compare, we sums up the concrete quantificational dynamic distributed data of 13 land types covering a span of 15 years and regulation of the local ecological environment system.

City tourism in the Namibian capital had thus become, at quite an early point in time, part of the trend towards utilising poor urban areas for purposes of tourism - a trend that set in at the beginning of the same decade. Frequently referred to as "slum tourism" or "poverty tourism", the phenomenon of guided tours around places of poverty has not only been causing some media sensation and much public outrage since its emergence; in the past few years, it has developed into a vital field of scientific research, too. "Global Slumming" provides the grounds for a rethinking of the relationship between poverty and tourism in world society. This book is the outcome of a study project of the Institute of Geography at the School of Cultural Studies and Social Science of the University of Osnabrueck, Germany. It represents the first empirical case study on township tourism in Namibia. It focuses on four aspects: 1. Emergence, development and (market) structure of township tourism in Windhoek 2. Expectations/imaginations, representations as well as perceptions of the township and its inhabitants from the tourist's perspective 3. Perception and assessment of township tourism from the residents' perspective 4. Local economic effects and the poverty-alleviating impact of township tourism The aim is to make an empirical contribution to the discussion around the tourism-poverty nexus and to an understanding of the global phenomenon of urban poverty tourism.}, language = {en} } @book{Ehebrecht2014, author = {Ehebrecht, Daniel}, title = {The challenge of informal settlement upgrading : Breaking new ground in Hangberg, Cape Town?}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-300-8}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-71232}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {184}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Despite its many challenges and limitations the concept of in situ upgrading of informal settlements has become one of the most favoured approaches to the housing crisis in the 'Global South'.

While this study does not question the benefits of the in situ upgrading approach, it seeks to identify problems of its practical implementation within a specific national and local context. The study discusses the origin and importance of this approach on the basis of a review of international housing policy development and analyses the broader political and social context of the incorporation of this approach into South African housing policy. It further uses insights from a recent case study in Cape Town to determine complications and conflicts that can arise when applying in situ upgrading of informal settlements in a complex local context.

Policies to combat these problems are usually connected to socio-economic regeneration in England and economic and employment promotion (Wirtschafts- und Besch{\"a}ftigungsf{\"o}rderung) in Germany. The main result of this project is a description of those factors which support the emergence of local socio-economic initiatives aimed at job creation. Eight social and formal economy initiatives have been examined and the ways in which their emergence has been influenced by institutional factors has been analysed. The role of local actors and forms of governance as well as wider regional and national policy frameworks has been taken into account. Socio-economic initiatives have been defined as non-routine local projects or schemes with the objective of direct job creation. Such initiatives often focus on specific local assets for the formal or the social economy. Socio-economic initiatives are grounded on ideas of local economic development, and the creation of local jobs for local people. The adopted understanding of governance focuses on the processes of decision taking. Thus, this understanding of governance is broadly construed to include the ways in which actors in addition to traditional government manage urban development. The applied understanding of governance lays a focus on 'strategic' forms of decision taking about both long term objectives and short term action linked to socio-economic regeneration. Four old industrial towns in North England and East Germany have been selected for case studies due to their particular socio-economic background. These towns, with between 10.000 and 70.000 inhabitants, are located outside of the main agglomerations and bear central functions for their hinterland. The approach has been comparative, with a focus on examining common themes rather than gaining in-depth knowledge of a single case. Until now, most urban governance studies have analysed the impacts of particular forms of governance such as regeneration partnerships. This project looks at particular initiatives and poses the question to what extent their emergence can be understood as a result of particular forms of governance, local institutional factors or regional and national contexts.}, language = {en} } @book{RolfesSteinbrinkUhl2009, author = {Rolfes, Manfred and Steinbrink, Malte and Uhl, Christina}, title = {Townships as attraction : an empirical study of township tourism in Cape Town}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-940793-79-9}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-28947}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {60}, year = {2009}, abstract = {Since the end of the Apartheid international tourism in South Africa has increasingly gained importance for the national economy.
