Protection of the human environment and tourism : possibilities of cooperation of two spheres of humanactivity
Human geography
The first issue concerns the different status of human environment protection and tourism respectively in the national economy and socio-economic planning. The second issue to be clarified is the more or less precise formulation of the object
Influences of humanactivities on sediment discharge from devastated weathered granite hills of southern China : effects of 4-year elimination of humanactivities

used to evaluate how humanactivity affects sediment discharge. The 4-year period of control practice was to short to affect the relationship between peak rainfall and peak storm runoff and the fern and litter covers and their amounts, but long enough
Thermal conductivity of soils in the active layer of Eastern Siberia

Landscape changes accompanied by changes in soil properties occur in Central Siberia as a result of forest fire, surface processes and human impact. A non-steady-state technique tested the thermal properties of Siberian soils. Thermal conductivity
of thawed soil increases in the active layer at depths of 5 and 30 cm after fire, especially in the organic layer due to an increase in density.

The aims of this paper are to analyze the principal characteristics of the Wanquan River delta that has developed in a narrow, shallow lagoon, and to determine the effect that the ever-increasing humanactivities of the area may have on those
Humanactivity transforming and designing river landscapes : a review perspective

The river landscape is a basis for introducing 7 ways in which river landscapes have been studied and researched, culminating in an eighth holistic phase. Conclusions from studies of impacts of humanactivity provide a basis for suggesting
The effect of man's activities on climatic changes in Evolution des atmosphères planétaires et climatologie de la terre=Evolution of planetary atmospheres and climatology of the earth.
Although considerable uncertainties remain, state-of-the-art climatic theories suggest that major global climatic changes due to humanactivities are possible as soon as the end of this century.
This article is devoted to an analysis of hierarchies and priorities in energy-environmental policy making. The approach to dealing with conflicting issues in regional energy-environmental planning centers around selection of activities, according
to a set of derived priorities subject to constraints reflecting interdependence of these activities. After an exposition of the prioritization problem, a method of accounting for the interdependence of activities is discussed.
