“…La segunda propuesta de expansión urbana es una alternativa totalmente opuesta a la tendencial: la ecociudad (PEU2 -Figura 3). Este poblamiento se inscribe en el modelo de expansión compacta del crecimiento urbano (Gaffron et al, 2008;Vernay et al, 2010). Dicho modelo promueve una mayor densificación del espacio urbano (entre 45 y 60 habitantes por hectárea) lo que facilita la cobertura de servicios públicos, minimiza el consumo de suelo rural y compacta la ciudad con menor distancia de frontera urbano -rural.…”

El ordenamiento territorial es un proceso social que construye una configuración deseada del territorio. Dicho proceso inicia cuando se acuerda una imagen futura del modelo territorial hacia donde se canalizan los esfuerzos para su concreción. Esta etapa es un problema complejo, pues confluyen diferentes opiniones, intereses y conflictos difíciles de conciliar y, por lo general obstaculizan la ejecución del proceso. El análisis multicriterio es una herramienta que facilita esta primera etapa del OT mediante la selección de la alternativa más favorable desde el punto de vista social, ambiental y económico. Se presenta una aplicación del método para la resolución de un problema de ordenamiento territorial de expansión urbana para la ciudad de Marcos Juárez (República Argentina).Palabras clave: Conflictos sociales - expansión urbana dispersa - decisor político - Estado.Land Plannig is a social process that builds a desired territory configuration. This process begins when a future image of the territorial model is agreed upon, where the efforts for its concretion are channeled. This stage is a complex problem because different opinions, interests and conflicts are difficult to reconcile, and usually hamper the execution of the process. Multicriteria Analysis is a tool that facilitates this first stage of the LP by select ing the most favorable alternative from the social, environmental and economic point of view. An application of the method for the resolution of a territorial urban sprawl problem for the city of Marcos Juárez (Argentina) is presented.Keywords: Social conflicts – sprawl urban expansion political decision maker - State

“…Historically, the notion of "sustainable city" replaced the notion of "ecological city" at the time of the Rio Conference in the 1990s. Environmental concerns were then linked to urban planning projects and economic, social and cultural constraints [11]; [12]: the main interest was then the search for the well-being of city populations [13]:. Thus, green cities refer to the development of communities that do not exceed the ecosystem's carrying capacity under the term "urban footprint" [13]; [15]; [16].…”

Rainwater and Wastewater Management: A Case Study of Dakar’s Built-up area, Senegal

Urban water management rules have long been oriented towards the rapid disposal of rainwater and wastewater through combined or separate drainage networks. This type of urban water management has shown its limits in both developed and undeveloped countries, notably because of its inexorable degradation over time and the cost of its rehabilitation and adaptation to the increase in demand due to urban growth. Sanitation data from the Office Nationale de l’Assainissement du Sénégal. Rainfall data are processed and analyzed to describe the current situation and how variable and high rainfall affects the neighborhood. Approximately 70-92% of the Dakar region's inhabitants have on-site sanitation facilities and sufficient income makes it difficult to manage their wastewater without exposing the environment or the health of citizens. The volumes of domestic wastewater flowed into the environment, in addition to poorly evacuated rainwater, show that the current sanitation system in the Dakar region is largely outdated, and insufficient for an effective drainage of rainwater and wastewater. Increasingly, frequent flash floods of polluted storm water from large amounts of domestic sewage are occurring, resulting in damage to human health. Exceptionally high rainfall is in correlation with high daily rainfall, therefore in recent years daily rainfall higher than 100 mm have been recorded in connection with above-average annual rainfall. That increase in rainfall disrupts the drainage of wastewater in the region of Dakar. A pragmatic and voluntary policy based on the principles of ecohydrology to recreate natural areas will be the only way for Dakar to efficiently manage storm water and wastewater. It can bring Dakar in 2030 into the international group of sustainable green cities.

“…The second observation is that systems integration has not yet been studied as a process of change (Vernay, 2006;Vernay et al, 2010). Current research on systems integration focuses on new possibilities for integration (Vernay et al, 2013;Leduc and van Kann, 1999); calculating the environmental performance of proposed integration (Van Berkel et al, 2009); and assessing technical, economic, regulatory and institutional feasibility (Baas and Boons, 2004;Mirata, 1994;Ajah et al, 2007).…”

However, barriers or opportunities for systems integration have mainly been studied on the basis of individual projects and not as processes of change (Vernay et al, 2010). To make realistic assessments of existing potentials, we need to take the current separated systems into account and conceptualize the process of system integration, analyzing how separated systems become more integrated over time.…”

Systems integration is a strategy advocated in order to achieve sustainable development. However, in the literature, it is poorly conceptualized, and current research fails to address systems integration as a process of change. This paper proposes a conceptual framework and operationalization for assessing processes of systems integration. This includes a typology of systems integration inspired by organizational theory together with an empirical methodology for identifying types (or degrees) of systems integration. This paper also proposes a method for visualizing the integration process in order to uncover its dynamics. The typology as well as the visual mapping tool is applied to an empirical case. The analysis shows that six forms of integration exist. It also shows that systems integration is dynamic and highlights that systems integration sometimes requires systems that bridge others. This paper concludes by arguing that the presented methodology could be a good basis for analyzing the adaptive capacity of systems integration.
