A proportion of heavy metals in sewage sludge will be present in the soil solution. Soil samples from three Agricultural Site were collected at three depths （0-10 cm, 10-20 cm and 20-30 cm） from the months of June to September, 2007 （Rainy season）, February - May, 2008 （Dry season） for the determination of pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, organic carbon, salinity, cation exchanged capacity, Ca, Na, K and heavy metals using standard procedures. Levels of the above parameters were higher in the dry season than in the rainy season. It was also observed from the result of this study that the levels of pH and organic carbon influenced the solubility and mobility of heavy metals. Generally, the levels of heavy metals, pH and organic carbon for the three agricultural sites increases significantly （P 〈 0.05） to a depth of 30 cm, while Conductivity, salinity, organic matter, CEC （Cation exchanged capacity）, Ca, Na and K decreased to a depth of 30 cm. The concentrations of heavy metals in the soil samples were higher than the Interim Canadian Environmental quality criteria and FAO （Food and Agriculture Organization） for contaminated site. Based on the above results, the study underscores the need for immediate remediation programme to control the use of untreated sewage sludge and waste water from tannery and textile industries by farmers in the study areas for crop production.展开更多

But it is especially a city that currently polarizes a huge interest from public authorities, researchers, as well as citizens represented by associations that are militating to safeguard and promote the city. Making Constantine ＂a regional capital, a metropolis＂ is the ambitious urban project of this city authorities. It is a prestigious project, but at the same time, a double-edged sword. With the emergence of this project, a new conception of the city and its image is induced, the one that conjures new canons of urban modernity, with the whole discourse that sustains it and indicators that materialize it. A new attitude toward the current city of Constantine has emerged, from both the authorities and citizens. The inhabitants are continuing in spite of all to invest their city and do not accept that the natural process of appropriation of space may be stopped indefinitely. The author will try to expose the conflict situationof a changing city inside numerous and varied issues, as well as stakes and challenges.展开更多

Recently, super-aging in old suburbs is remarkable. Recently, Japanese old suburban housing estates are declining. They are facing several serious problems. Most serious problems are aging of residents and decreasing population, and these are caused by long-term dwelling. Because many Japanese think that ＂Japanese Dream＂ is occupancy of detached house in suburb. Japanese suburban residents tend to stay after child rearing. And another severe problem is the increasing vacant houses. In this study, the authors try to clarify the conditions of shrinking suburbs in Japanese cities and will introduce some activities for revitalization in suburbs. As for aging of suburban residents, in old housing estates, the first generation of migrants grew older and continued to live in their own house in suburban areas. Furthermore, their children grew up and moved out. These are caused by the failure of town planning, which supplied the same type of houses in short term. Furthermore, increases in vacant houses are seen throughout every old suburban housing estate, and it induces new uneasiness and social troubles and drop in housing price.展开更多

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that we can support an innovative perspective based on intermediate geographical scales, more useful for outlining the specific features of territory. While we analyze the territory, we should overcome the strictly local scale of the administrative boundaries and create new relationship between contemporary urban concepts （metropolization of territory and metapolis） and the regional ecological patterns. In the case of Valladolid （E） urban/metropolitan area, we focus on both causes and process of city growth. We have understood that it could be inefficient for planning forgetting the real spatial configuration （the city is located in an intersection between two territorial corridors） and misunderstanding the territorial role of the city at different scales （the double centrality in the emerging urban area and in the region）. The significance of this case is to reveal the inter-scalar condition of places as generators of constraints in the contemporary urban fabric and, at the same time, to show the quality and the potential of places in the future urban realm.展开更多
