Land and water institutions play a vital role in managing and sustaining land and water resources as well as enhancing economic development and poverty alleviation efforts. While a lot has been done in terms of understanding the micro-determinants of farmers’ decisions in land and water conservation, there is little attempt to understand the broad macro-institutional and organizational issues that influence land and water management decisions.

Library ResourceDocuments et rapports de conférencejuin, 2009République-Unie de Tanzanie
Land use conflicts are common phenomena in Tanzania and the world at large. One major reason before going to specific cases hinges on the fact that land does not expand while people and other living organizations that depend on it keeps on increasing on the early surface. This un matching ratio between land as basic resources for livelihoods and its users constantly results into land use conflicts.

Library ResourceDocuments et rapports de conférencenovembre, 2009République-Unie de Tanzanie
Since early 1990’s Tanzania has implemented far reaching macroeconomic and structural reforms which has led to substantial socio-economic development. GDP growth per annum has almost doubled over the last decade from 4.1% in 1998 to 7.4% in 2008, with an average growth of 7% per annum. This is historically high for Tanzania and comparable to the performance of fastest growing economies in sub-Saharan Africa. GDP growth peaked in 2004 at 7.8%, but severe and prolonged drought during 2005/06 negatively affected the economy, and the GDP has been gradually recovering to reach 7.4% in 2008.

Library ResourceDocuments et rapports de conférenceavril, 2009Europe
Recent decades have witnessed substantial losses in biodiversity in Europe, partlydriven by the ecological changes associated with intensification of agriculturalproduction. These changes have particularly affected biodiversity in marginal areas,such as the uplands in UK, since habitat change has been greater than in lowlandzones. Livestock farming is the main land use in these areas, and economic viabilityof farmers substantially relies on income coming from agricultural subsidies and agrienvironmentalpayments.

In New Zealand, regional councils have the task of sustainably managing rivers andtheir flows. In trying to achieve this task they face enormous challenges including theneed to allocate flows amongst often highly disparate in- (e.g., angling, kayaking,native fish and birds) and out-of-river (e.g., irrigation and hydro energy) values/needs.To aid in this task these councils need to know which rivers or parts of rivers arerelatively more or less important on national, regional and local bases, for particularvalues.

The objective of this research is to evaluate a land value tax as a potential policy tool to moderate sprawling development in Nashville, TN, the nation’s most sprawling metropolitan community with a population of one million or more. To achieve this objective, the hypothesis is empirically tested that a land value tax encourages more development closer to preexisting development than farther from preexisting development.

Library ResourceDocuments et rapports de conférencedécembre, 2009Espagne
Agricultural trade is by far the largest vehicle to ‘move’ water virtually around the world. Observing that most countries import and export water embedded in the exchanged products, the objective of this study is to assess the virtual water ‘trade’ in Spain for the period 1997-2006. We differentiate between the green and blue components of virtual water from a hydrological and economic perspective. The combination of spatial and time dimensions offers a unique empirical setting to determine whether virtual water ‘trade’ can contribute to reduce water scarcity.
