Soil protection and intensive animal husbandry in the Netherlands
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1994Co-Authors: F. A.m. De Haan, S. E.a.t.m. Van Der ZeeAbstract:Soil quality is more difficult to define than air and water quality but it has an impact especially on the latter. The export of soil-based nutrients to waters is of increasing concern. Policy aiming at preservation of soil quality can be either effect-orientated or source-orientated. Statutory measures for soil protection in the Netherlands originate from the Soil Protection Act (SPA), which came into force in January, 1987. The SPA still is a Framework Law which provides very general regulations only. Practical implementation is achieved by means of General Administrative Orders (GAO). The Law offers a Framework for measures and regulations to protect the properties of soil which constitute the conditions for proper soil functioning. The first GAO introduced was the 'Decree on use of animal manure', which became operational on 1 April 1987. During recent decades there has been a large increase of intensive animal husbandry in the Netherlands. This development led to a strong imbalance between minerals imported in the country in the form of feed and raw materials for feed production, and minerals exported by dairy and animal products. The minerals produced in manure and animal slurries are far exceeding the amounts needed for proper crop fertilization. Standards for the use of animal manure are based on the phosphate content but this results in the application of unacceptable amounts of nitrogen and heavy metals. Phosphate saturation of soil was safeguarded by introducing special regulations for P-saturated soils. However, this has not been successful on judicial basis, indicating the need for general environmental protection legislation, instead of the compartmental (air-water-soil) approach. © 1994.

IGARSS - Automated Burned Area Detection and Violation Monitoring Using Landsat-TM and VHR Data: An Engineering And Economic Study To Analyse Local Governance Performance In Sardinia (Italy)
IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019Co-Authors: D. De Santis, G. Beccari, L. Corrado, G. Corrado, F. Del Frate, G. SchiavonAbstract:This study aims at analysing local government efficiency using EO data to focus on the construction of new buildings in burned areas. We detected all forests and pastures of Sardinia (Sardinia) that witnessed at least a one-hectare wildfire, for biennium 2005-2006, using Landsat-TM data.We then monitored all the burned areas for a period of at least 10 years following the wildfire, up until 2016, by using Landsat products and VHR imagery provided by the Sar-dinian Region.The idea was to verify compliance with the Italian Framework Law on forest fires, which prohibits the construction of any structure or infrastructure aimed at civil settlements on woods and pastures affected by a fire for the next ten years.We retrieved as many as 748 burned areas, over which 148 violations were detected. These data have been used to carry out an econometric pilot analysis. Results suggest that, in general, the emergence of violations is inversely related to wildfire dimensions and that, on average, Law-breaking occurs within the first five years.

O Pai que Acha que Ajuda o Filho: Marco Regulatório e Investimentos no Setor de Saneamento Básico - eScholarship
2007Co-Authors: Bruno Dario Werneck, Gustavo Flausino CoelhoAbstract:This paper has the purpose of analyzing the case Law of Brazilian Courts and appointing the “paternalist” decisions that, in order to protect the consumers from the effects of their defaults, brings uncertainty to the companies that render public services in Brazil. The water and sewage sector will be emphasized because of the high positive externalities of this service, which demands intensive capital and long-term investments, and also because of the new regulatory Framework (Law nr. 11,445/2007), that establishes that, in case of default, the interruption or restriction of water supply to certain institutions (health, educational) and to low-class users must follow certain terms and minimum criteria. Once the harmful effects on the level of investment in the water and sewage sector caused by the judicial decisions referred to above are demonstrated, it will be proposed a way of regulating the legal provision mentioned above.
