Marketing in a developing nation: a case study of household building materials in Tunisia.

Promoting the use of local building materials in Nigerian housing construction: the problems and the prospects
These two articles (cf. FARID (S. M.), Public enterprises in Nigeria), are useful to a geographer studying economic conditions in developing Nigeria. Public enterprises are not so far successful| local building materials should be substituted

Ferruginous sandstone for building-stone in and round the Hageland
Belgium ; Building materials ; Inventory ; Natural resources ; Quarry ; Rock ; Sandstone
Ferruginous sandstone has locally been used extensively in mostly late-medieval religious and civilian architecture. An inventory of recognizable exploitation sites is presented. Genesis and related characteristics of the different types of building

Gypsum formation in non-calcareous building sandstone : a case study of Scrabo sandstone
Atmospheric pollution ; Belfast ; Building materials ; Chemical erosion ; Mineralogy ; Northern Ireland ; Sandstone ; United Kingdom ; Weathering
This paper addresses one central issue of building stone research : an origin for calcium in gypsum formation in non-calcareous sandstones. A comparative study of Scrabo sandstone from outcrops and a 120-year-old building in central Belfast shows
pollution. This study highlights the potential for future research into an internal mineralogical source of calcium for gypsum formation in building stones.

Natural building stones in Flanders : a historical-geographical approach
Belgium ; Building materials ; Flanders ; Historical geography ; Lithology ; Stratigraphy ; Weathering
Short review of the main building stones which have been used in the Flemish monumental constructions. Their origin, stratigraphy and quarries, their macro- and microscopic features, their behaviour with regard to various weathering processes

Comparative derivatographic analysis, chronological and taxonomic evaluation of the malacological material of Pannonian localities
Quaternary and Neogen crustacean fauna is analyzed. Chronostratigraphy is only useful if comparisons are made on species or taxon level. Differences in the chemical build-ups of taxons are pointed out using thermoanalysis, spectrography, electron

The città abusiva in contemporary Southern Italy : illegal building and prospects for change
Campania ; House building ; Housing ; Housing policy ; Illegality ; Italy ; Lazio ; Rehabilitation ; Sicilia ; Urban planning ; Urban policy ; Urban renewal
This study examines the unauthorised development in the south of Italy and evaluates the consequenc-es of the condono edilizio (building amnesty) policy, in the light of the impact that illegal construction has on the the landscape, both urban
scenarios are outlined, based on recycling existing social and physical material: they translate into a future-oriented discourse those symptoms of change that are already appearing in an embryonic form throughout Italy’s Mezzogiorno.

Extractive industry ; Hungary ; Mine ; Mining resources ; Ore geology ; Raw materials
. The extraction of non-metallic minerals of the North Hungarian Mountains has recently come to the fore. The quarrying of building materials has been declining since 1990 and most of the companies were taken over by foreign investors, similar to other mines. - (ZK)
