Sustainable development is the challenge of the 21st century, and public administration will play a part in finding new ways of meeting human needs within the constraints of natural resource systems. The nature of sustainable development has led to expanded forms of governance and new partnerships among non-governmental organizations (NGOs), non-profits, and governments at all levels. This paper examines a participatory geographic information system project being developed in Copan Ruinas, Honduras and its effect on the community stakeholders. pecifically, the participatory geographic information system project will focus on the development of a geodatabase and usable maps that integrate: small-scale (less than five hectares on average) agroforestry projects, and highland habitat restoration projects. During this research, we will focus on the geographic information system project, public participation and how the project meets the standards of the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) pillars of participation and core values. ; El desarrollo sostenible es uno de los grandes retos del siglo 21, y la administración pública desempañará un papel importante en la identificación de nuevas formas para sustentar las necesidades del ser humano teniendo en cuenta las limitaciones de los recursos naturales. las características del desarrollo sostenible han llevado a diferentes formas de expansiones gubernamentales a todos los niveles, incluyendo asociaciones con organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG) y organizaciones benéficas. la presente investigación examina un proyecto participativo de sistemas de información geográfica y sus efectos en los participantes comunitarios, el cual se está desempeñando en las Ruinas de Copan, Honduras. El enfoque del proyecto está en la creación de una base de datos geoespaciales y mapas que integrarán: proyectos de agrosilvicultura a menor escala y restauración de hábitats montañosos. a través de esta investigación, nos enfocaremos en el proyecto de información de sistemas geográficos, el nivel de participación pública, y como este proyecto se alinea con las reglas y los valores fundamentales de la asociación internacional de la participación pública.

Letter from James M. Johnson, Washington's Assistant Attorney General, to Judge Boldt asking that he disqualify himself from the trial of Phase II in United States v. Washington.

Canada has long been one of the most important trading partners for the United States. Canada, primarily British Columbia, is the second most important international trading partner of Washington State. In 1986, trade between Washington and Canada exceeded $3.5 billion dollars. This trade relationship will be enhanced by the fact that both the United States Senate and the Canadian Parliament have ratified the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement, which went into effect on January 1, 1989. By its terms, this agreement drastically reduces or eliminates tariffs on commerce between the two nations within the next ten years. As a result, the ratification signals the beginning of a period of increased commercial activity between American and Canadian business people. This is particularly true between Washington and British Columbia where tariffs have prevented competition between the adjoining state and province.
