Das Wachstum deutscher Großstädte beruht zu einem großen Teil auf dem seit 2010 wieder positiven Außenwanderungssaldo der Bundesrepublik. Deshalb werden hier Außenwanderungsstatistiken - auf Kreisebene und für ausgewählte Großstädte - vorgestellt. Im Abgleich mit Bestandsdaten kann festgestellt werden, dass sich der positive Außenwanderungssaldo der jüngst vergangenen Jahre vor allem aus EU-internen Wanderungen speist. Zwischen 2009 und 2013 waren diese durch Bürgerinnen und Bürger aus Bulgarien und Rumänien dominiert.

"China is a country that has a large number of minorities, who live in specific regions which are mainly located in Middle and West China. They are abundant in natural resources and are of general importance for China in strategic and ecological terms. Minorities live in relatively compact communities. Here the development in infrastructure as well as social and economic development (e.g. export-oriented economy) has been and is still slow, which has resulted in underdevelopment. To accelerate the development of these regions, priority has to be given to narrow the gap of social development, to protect the natural environment and to strengthen the facilities of infrastructure. In order to avoid conflicts in the future, specific policies in minority regions are needed." (author's abstract)

'Unter Kommunalen Umfragen werden hier Befragungen verstanden, die von Kommunalverwaltungen selbst oder in ihrem Auftrag unternommen werden sowie Befragungen, die aufgrund ihres Inhalts von kommunalem Interesse sind. Als Instrument der Datengewinnung sind sie von großer Bedeutung sowohl für die kommunale Praxis als auch für eine praxisnahe kommunalwissenschaftliche Forschung. Die so abgegrenzte Produktion kommunaler Umfragen ist nicht einfach zu überblicken, dem Bedürfnis nach einer Mehrfachnutzung von Befragungsbefunden und Befragungsverfahren stehen begrenzt Orientierungsmöglichkeiten gegenüber. Diese will die DEMOS-Datenbank des Deutschen Instituts für Urbanistik (difu) als Informationsinstrument zum Umfragennachweis verbessern helfen. Darüber hinaus ist auf der Grundlage von etwa 1000 standardisierten Beschreibungen kommunaler Umfragen am Difu damit begonnen worden, die Datenbank als Analyseinstrument von statistischen Eigenschaften kommunaler Umfragen einzusetzen. Die Möglichkeiten einer Auswertung von Befragungseigenschaften werden an ausgewählten Merkmalen (Befragtenanzahl, Befragungsrückläufe nach Befragungsweisen und Befragungsarten, Rücklaufveränderungen im Zeitablauf, Zusammenhang zwischen Rücklauf und Fragebogenlänge) illustriert. Forschungsökonomisch ist der Versuch einer derartigen Datenbanknutzung, die über ihre Grundfunktion als Informationsinstrument hinausgeht, ein willkommender Weg der Mehrfachnutzung des für ihre Produktion erbrachten Aufwands.'

Tesis (Maestría en Ciencias, especialista en Estrategias para el Desarrollo Agrícola Regional).- Colegio de Postgraduados, 2014. ; Los traspatios representan para las familias rurales, sobre todo para las que habitan en regiones marginadas, una estrategia que asegura la producción de alimentos de origen vegetal y animal que enriquecen y complementan su dieta. En 2005 el gobierno estatal con el apoyo del gobierno federal crearon programas con la intención de asegurar el acceso y la disponibilidad de alimentos a través de la autoproducción, esto es producir alimentos en cada uno de los traspatios de las familias participantes, sin embargo se desconoce qué cantidad y cuáles alimentos aportan a la alimentación, al ingreso familiar a través de la venta de productos y como se consolida y refuerza las relaciones sociales. Como respuesta a lo anterior se realizó la presente investigación con el objetivo de analizar los componentes hortícola y pecuario que integran los traspatios intervenidos por el PESA Estatal estableciendo los aportes productivos-alimentario, económico y social que se obtienen hacia la unidad doméstica campesina en las comunidades de Atempan, Chignautla y Yaonáhuac en el estado de Puebla. La investigación se realizó en 37 hogares donde las jefas de familia, participaron en la elaboración de croquis de cada uno de los traspatios así como la planeación agrícola y pecuaria que realizan según la especie vegetal y/o animal. Se encontró que destinan al autoconsumo 48% al 77% la producción hortícola y 21% al 57% la producción pecuaria, observándose esto en las comunidades de Canoas y Tezotepec, mientras que 15% al 53% de la producción hortícola y 15% al 43% de la producción pecuaria lo destinan a la comercialización, esto se observa más en Tezotepec; para el fortalecimiento de las relaciones sociales destinan 1% a 8% de la producción hortícola y 21% al 38% de la producción pecuaria con mayor presencia en la comunidad de Canoas. _______________ CONTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTIVE, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL OF BACKYARD SYSTEM FOR FOOD SECURITY IN THREE MUNICIPALITIES OF THE "NORTHEAST SIERRA" IN THE STATE OF PUE. ABSTRACT: The backyards represent for rural families, especially for those living in marginalized regions, a strategy that ensures the production of foods of plant and animal that enrich and complement their diet. In 2005 the state government with the support of the federal government created programs intended to ensure access and availability of food through self-production, this is to produce food in each of the participating families backyards, however it is not yet known how much and which foods contribute to feeding, to household income through the sale of products and as it consolidates and strengthens social relations. In response to the above mentioned, the present investigation was conducted to analyze the horticulture and livestock components that make backyards operated by State-PESA program establishing food production, economic and social contributions that are available to the peasant household within communities of Atempan, Chignautla and Yaonáhuac in the state of Puebla. The research was conducted in 37 households where the woman heads of families, participated in the preparation of drawings of each backyard as well as crop and livestock planning to perform according to the plant and/or animal species. It was found that in the communities of Canoas and Tezotepec from 48% to 77% of the horticultural production and 21% to 57% of livestock production are assigned for self consumption meanwhile from 15% to 53% of horticultural production and 15% to 43% of livestock is assigned for marketing, which is more seen in Tezotepec; to strengthen social relationships intended 1% to 8% of horticultural production and 21% to 38% of livestock production with greater presence in the community of Canoas.

This article is part of a preliminary research about the creation of the metropolitan area of Bogota Cundinamarca, a debate that has existed in Colombia for more than thirty years and which is still ongoing. Based on a bibliographic review, the article aims to present the potentialities, obstacles and challenges of the creation and consolidation of a metropolitan area that would group about eleven millions of people and which would turn into an administrative structure of integration with a great national and international impact in economic, social, political, cultural and environmental terms. However, beyond that, this debate shows a lag in the discussion about planning, zoning and territorial integrational instruments, not in terms of time (as mentioned, the debate on the metropolitan area of Bogota is easily traceable in the last thirty years) but in rigorous academic and political terms. These not only create the necessary administrative figures according to the reality of the territorial construction, but also ensure the tools to achieve governance impacts and assertive public management in face of the social demands, which advocates for the Social Rule of Law in a framework of political-institutional decentralization. ; El presente artículo hace parte de una investigación preliminar sobre la creación del área metropolitana de Bogotá-Cundinamarca, debate que existe en Colombia desde hace más de treinta años y que sigue vigente. El artículo pretende, a partir de una revisión bibliográfica, plantear las potencialidades, los obstáculos y retos que tendría la creación y consolidación de un área metropolitana que agruparía alrededor de once millones de personas y la convertiría en una estructura administrativa de integración con un gran impacto nacional e internacional en términos económicos, sociales, políticos, culturales y ambientales. Ahora bien, más allá, este debate demuestra un rezago en la discusión sobre planificación, ordenamiento e instrumentos de integración territorial, no en términos de tiempo (como se mencionó, el debate sobre el área metropolitana de Bogotá es fácilmente rastreable en los últimos treinta años) sino en términos académicos y políticos rigurosos. Estos no solo crean las figuras administrativas necesarias según la realidad de la construcción del territorio, sino que aseguran las herramientas para lograr impactos de gobernabilidad y de gestión pública asertiva frente a las demandas sociales, que propendan por el Estado Social de Derecho en un marco de descentralización política-institucional. ; Este artigo é parte de uma pesquisa preliminar sobre a criação da área metropolitana Bogotá (Cundinamarca), um debate que existe na Colômbia há mais de trinta anos e perdura até hoje. O artigo visa, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica, abordar as potencialidades, obstáculos e desafios que teria a criação e consolidação de uma região metropolitana que reunisse cerca de onze milhões de pessoas e a transformasse em uma estrutura administrativa de integração, com grande impacto nacional e internacional em termos econômicos, sociais, políticos, culturais e ambientais. Agora, além disso, este debate mostra uma defasagem na discussão sobre planejamento, ordenamento e instrumentos de integração territorial, não em termos de tempo (como foi mencionado, odebate sobre a área metropolitana de Bogotá é facilmente rastreável nos últimos trinta anos), mas em rigorosos termos acadêmicos e políticos, já que eles não só criam as figuras administrativas necessárias de acordo com a realidade da construção do território, mas também garantem os instrumentos para alcançar impactos de governança e gestão pública assertiva diante das demandas sociais, que promovem o Estado Social de Direito em um marco de descentralização político-institucional.

"For years, Nauru, a small Pacific island nation (population 10,000), benefited from the considerable wealth generated from its only major natural resource, phosphate. However, when that resource was almost exhausted and national assets held under the Nauru Phosphate Royalties Trust (NPRT) had been reduced to relatively minor holdings, the Government of Nauru sought and received assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) to prepare a National Sustainable Development Strategy to guide future development in the country. This case study examines innovative efforts to strengthen participatory capacity in Nauru to support development of the new strategy, focusing on the design and implementation of a participatory planning process which engendered wide community engagement and included communications with communities about the choices and trade-offs facing them moving forward. This subseries is published by the ADB to provide the governments of its Pacific developing member countries (PDMCs) with analyses and insights on key issues and lessons learned with respect to capacity development. Cases studied highlight a range of experiences throughout the region by sector, theme, and source of external support, revealing approaches to capacity development that work best and the conditions that have been conducive to their success. They also explore the unique challenges faced by PDMCs in addressing capacity constraints as well as some opportunities facing governments and the people in the Pacific islands. Among other things, the case studies underline the importance of PDMC leadership, engagement of local partners, strategic attention to long-term capacity issues, and effective use of external resources. We hope that the findings in these reports will help guide future capacity building efforts in the Pacific."
