    December, 2007
    Latin America and the Caribbean, Costa Rica

    El objetivo de este artículo es llamar la atención sobre la ocupación de la zona marítimo-terrestre (ZMT). En estos territorios coexisten situaciones legítimas, anómalas y anárquicas respecto con la tenencia de la tierra. La ingobernabilidad de la ZMT es producto de la inadecuada aplicación del marco legal y la ausencia de conocimiento sistematizado. La información sobre esta temática está muy dispersa, es escasa y además, poco accesible.

    Thailand

    ncreasing flood risks in Thailand are leading to new challenges for flood management and subsequently for livelihoods, which are still significantly agricultural. Policy makers prefer building flood protection infrastructure over utilizing non-structural measures like urban planning regulations to mitigate risks. We argue that unplanned urbanization intensifies flood risks and livelihood vulnerability and may even create new poverty patterns in peri-urban areas.

    Este artigo estuda a procura do turismo em espaço rural (TER) em Portugal, tomando como referência dados recolhidos no território continental e, particularmente, em três aldeias. Conclui-se que a procura é composta por citadinos de classe média que se deslocam para o campo a fim de romper com o quotidiano e de obter uma experiência revigorante. O campo é para estes citadinos uma espécie de paraíso na terra, que integra muitas virtudes que se crêem inexistentes nos meios urbanos, como a tranquilidade, a natureza, a tradição e a autenticidade.
