This book discusses aspects of land use change and sustainability in ways that may generate further research ideas. It brings together discussions from leading researchers and scholars in the field of land use change and sustainability from five different countries including the USA, Ethiopia, Guyana, Taiwan, and Indonesia. Based on empirical research and case studies, the book is divided into two sections. The first section is subdivided into four chapters and discusses land use sustainability in the Northern Great Plains of the USA; effects of rural land use and tenure on sustainable management of mangroves in Corentyne, Guyana; the property formation process in peri-urban areas of Ethiopia; and the effects of green energy production on farmlands in the Yulin County of Taiwan. The second section of the book is subdivided into two chapters and discusses cases pertaining to land use mapping and sustainability including land cover/land use mapping using soft computing techniques with optimized features; and applying systems analysis to evaluate Jelutung as option for sustainable use of peat lands in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The book is insightful, thought provoking, concise, and easy to understand. It could serve as an important reference material on land use change and sustainability.

Il presente volume riprende i principali risultati del progetto di ricerca sulle cooperative di comunità promosso nel 2018 da Fondosviluppo e FEDAM, e realizzato da ricercatori dell'Università del Molise. Il volume mette in luce le potenzialità e le modalità di funzionamento delle cooperative di comunità, che creano nuove forme di condivisione e co-producono beni e/o servizi. La ricerca, sperimentando un nuovo percorso metodologico-operativo, permette di raggiungere i seguenti risultati: a delineare una strategia per individuare il grado di vulnerabilità sociale, economica e ambientale del territorio; b definire i fabbisogni delle comunità locali; c indicare il ruolo di ipotetiche cooperative di comunità a supporto dei fabbisogni individuati e individuarne i canali di finanziamento.

With one of the world's lowest levels of human development, Niger has enormous needs but only limited own resources to meet them. Insecurity in the Sahel, climate change, and low prices for its uranium exports are further challenges. Niger's economy performed reasonably well before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. GDP growth exceeded 6 percent and large foreign projects were attracted, notably a pipeline for the export of crude oil. A new government will take office in April 2021.
