Strategic regeneration: A policy coupling approach to managing a coastal resort in South Wales

This review paper takes a case study approach to critically discuss how regeneration in the coastal resort of Porthcawl, South Wales has integrated flood defences as part of a strategic spatial planning and integrated policy coupling approach to the redesign of the town's seaside, promenade and harbour quarter. This planned initiative is part of a concerted effort to upgrade the town's waterfront and enable regeneration of a small seaside resort. From a resort cycle perspective, Porthcawl's perceived vulnerability to changing economic fortunes has prompted a master planning approach which is intended to bring together a mixed-use development programme with particular attention to urban design, strategic environmental assessment and public consultation. In different ways, this process has sought to raise public awareness of the issues and risks associated with the town's coastal location and to integrate flood defence aspects within the strategic regeneration plan as part of a greater sensitivity to climatic risks and potential flooding. This paper examines the adaptive capacity of coastal communities and the complex of socio-economic and spatio-temporal perspectives that shape policy developments in the planning, development and proactive management of coastal environments. The paper identifies the need to accommodate a new civic awareness of potential environmental hazards in articulating the public interest and balancing the trade-offs involved.     

焙烧态镁铝铁类水滑石对磷酸根离子的吸附

用共沉淀法制备了镁铝铁三元类水滑石(LDH),在不同温度下对其焙烧4 h,得到焙烧态类水滑石(CLDH).采用XRD、FT-IR对材料进行分析,研究其对水中磷酸根的吸附性能和机制.结果表明,铁的掺杂量过大会破坏类水滑石的层状结构,且随着铁含量的增大,类水滑石对磷酸根的吸附量逐渐减小.当Mg/Al/Fe物质的量之比为2∶0.9∶0.1,在300℃下焙烧时,CLDH吸附磷酸根能力最好,吸附容量约27.03 mg.g-1,为焙烧前的1.32倍.在pH 4—11范围内,在竞争离子存在的条件下,CLDH-0.1-300都能表现出较好的吸附性能,对实际废水中的磷也有较强的吸附能力.CLDH-0.1-300对磷酸根的吸附符合二级反应动力学模型,吸附等温线符合Langmuir等温式.用浓度为0.5 mol.L-1的NaOH溶液可以对吸附磷酸根后的类水滑石CLDH-0.1-300实现解吸再生,"吸附-再生-再吸附"循环3次后吸附容量仍接近初始值的60%.     

液化气脱硫醇装置碱渣减排的探索及实践

为减少碱渣排放量,液化气碱洗脱硫醇装置大都设计有碱液催化氧化再生设施。由于传统碱液氧化再生工艺存在副产物二硫化物与再生碱液分离效果差等技术缺陷,其成为液化气脱硫质量的技术瓶颈。从碱液氧化再生原理、二硫化物分离原理等方面寻找突破口,实现了二硫化物大部分的分离回收,系统碱液可长周期循环用于液化气脱硫醇,液态烃碱渣排量减少80%以上。

Promoting effect of Zr on the catalytic combustion of methane over Pd/γ-Al2O3 catalyst

The effect of Zr on the catalytic performance of Pd/y-A1203 for the methane combustion was investigated. The results show that the addition of Zr can improve the activity and stability of Pd/γ-Al2O3 catalyst, which, based on the catalyst characterization （N2 adsorption, XRD, CO- Chemisorption, XPS, CHa-TPR and O2-TPO）, is ascribed to the interaction between Pd and Zr. The active phase of methane combustion over supported palladium catalyst is the Pd^0/Pd^2＋ mixture. Zr addition inhibits Pd aggregation and enhances the redox properties of active phase Pd^0/ Pd^2＋. H2 reduction could effectively reduce the oxidation degree of Pd species and regenerate the active sites （Pd^0/ pd^2＋）.

Forest Health,Collective Behaviors,and Management

This study compares community-based managed forests under different purposes of management, namely, state-driven conservation or community-designed utilization in two villages located in the Sopsai watershed, Nan Province, northern Thailand. The forest health under different intensity of uses is assessed in association with the collective behaviors and long-term purposes embedded in village social–cultural context. The study found no significant differences in forest succession and proportion in diameter at 1.3 m (dbh) class and height-class distribution of the forest under different use intensity. The forest for utilization also showed higher density and basal area of the local preferred species than the conservation forest. In the utilization forest, we also found a higher number of multipurpose and preferred species than in the conservation forest, which actually responded to the needs of the community in the long term to have more wood products (both firewood and timbers). The community-based forest management (CBFM) for utilization can also lead to natural regeneration and biodiversity similar to conservation forests. Through CBFM, forest resources can be managed to maintain the healthy condition under different intensities and respond to both community needs and external expectation. The findings also emphasize the importance of recognizing community needs and management objectives in watershed restoration and improving the productivity of forests under collective management.     

Delivering social sustainability in the inner-city: the transformation of South-West Montreal,Quebec (Canada)

ABSTRACT

This paper analyses how social sustainability is implemented in private-led regeneration processes and which understanding of the “social” foregrounds the implementation of sustainability in Montreal. The case studies are two new residential projects led by the private sector participating in the transformation of the Southwest Borough in Montreal. The analysis is based on six components used to evaluate the operationalisation of social sustainability for new residential projects as well on the analysis of opportunities to negotiate the “social” in the implementation of sustainability. The two case studies, Griffintown and the Bassins-du-Nouveau Havre projects are examples of brownfield regeneration in a former industrial area along the Lachine Canal known as the South West Borough. We have used semi-structured interviews with the stakeholders as the main source for data collection, a review of press articles and an analysis of the principal planning documents related to each project. If the second example is more convincing in regards to the operationalisation of social sustainability, there is a lack of incentives for developers to integrate social sustainability principles in their development in the Montreal context. Planning instruments should impose more constraints on developers and municipalities should have more financial resources to negotiate with developers what the “social” should be.
