Impact Of Urbanization On Vegetation In Accra Metropolis

by Prince Boateng

15,67€ + 10% CARD

 Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Cartography, Geographic Information Science and Geodesy, grade: 80%, University of Ghana, Legon (Humanities), course: GIS and Remote Sensing, language: English, abstract: The main objective of this research is to assess the extent to which urbanization is impacting vegetation in Accra Metropolis from 2002, 2008 and 2020. There has been a rapid urbanization growth in Ghana, according to the Ghana Statistical Service there has been an increase in the urban population from about 23% in 1960 to about approximately 44% in 2000 and there has been a further increase to about 50% in the year 2010. This abrupt change in population signifies an increase in the urban settlement. Inevitably, urbanization is seen as an outcome of economic growth and increase in population growth. An increase in these factors exert external problems on the land cover. This increase has led to the depletion of vegetation, pollution of water bodies and poor sanitation in Ghana. The development of Ghana has neglected the long term impact of urban expansion on vegetation. Accra is noted to be an economic centre dominated by the buying and selling of goods and services on open streets. This threatens the green pastures in the city centres.

Inclusive Cartography. Making Accessible Maps For Persons With Visual Impairment In Nigeria

by Chukwuemeka Ulor

15,67€ + 10% CARD

 Seminar paper in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Cartography, Geographic Information Science and Geodesy, , language: English, abstract: Many of our maps and mapping processes do not consider nor involve persons with disabilities. People with visual impairment, hard of hearing and mobility challenges also need these tools to live a normal life. In cartography, accessibility can be improved by making tactile maps and inclusive digital maps which are significantly helpful for persons with disabilities. Accessibility is the word used to describe whether a place, service or product can be used by people of all abilities and disabilities. For example, a train or website is accessible if all people, including non-disabled, disabled and elderly people can use it. People with disabilities (PwDs) face challenges in moving around seamlessly due to barriers created by the society. Accessibility translates to the removal of barriers in accessing places, products and services. Persons with disabilities also experience challenges in accessing education, healthcare, employment, finance and basic needs of life. Accessibility gives everyone (able and disabled) the same opportunity. Common area barriers include mobility, auditory, neurological, cognitive, medical, and psychological. According to the United Nations over one billion people live with disabilities. The reality is that more people will have some form of disability in the future either temporarily or permanently. Increase in forms of disability can be attributed to old age, ill health, mental disorders, physical deformity, accident and armed conflict. Since we know disability is on the rise, it is important that accessibility takes precedence across the world, as soon as possible. Research has shown that people with disabilities don t consider themselves as being unhealthy; therefore, making map products and cartographic services accessible goes a long way to enable PwDs move around with minimal assistance.

L'Amerique Meridionale: The Map That Shaped Brazil In The 18th Century

by Júnia Ferreira Furtado

~~210,68€~~ 189,61€ 10% OFF

 This book explores how the origins of Brazil's modern borders can be traced to the cartography of the Americas produced by the eighteenth-century French cartographer J.B.B. d'Anville. It argues that this map reflects the geopolitical policies of the Portuguese diplomat D. Luis da Cunha, who was involved in Portugal's negotiations with the Spanish to formally establish Brazil's frontiers, and highlights how and why these policies were adopted in the Treaty of Madrid in 1750.

Companions In Geography - East-West Collaboration In The Mapping Of Qing China (C. 1685-1735)

by Mario Cams

230,55€ + 10% CARD

 In Companions in Geography Mario Cams revisits the early 18th century mapping of Qing China, without doubt one of the largest cartographic endeavours of the early modern world. Commonly seen as a Jesuit initiative, the project appears here as the result of a convergence of interests among the French Academy of Sciences, the Jesuit order, and the Kangxi emperor (r. 1661-1722). These connections inspired the gradual integration of European and East Asian scientific practices and led to a period of intense land surveying, executed by large teams of Qing officials and European missionaries. The resulting maps and atlases, all widely circulated across Eurasia, remained the most authoritative cartographic representations of continental East Asia for over a century. This book is based on Dr. Mario Cams' dissertation, which has been awarded the "2017 DHST Prize for Young Scholars" from the International Union of the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, Division of History of Science and Technology (IUHPST/DHST).
