INTRODUCTION The Bafuloto Development Project is presented in the form of the physical planning studies which are part of the pre- investment studies for the Gambia Tourism Infrastructure Project, of the Tourism Projects Department of the Interna¬ tional Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The Physical Planning Studies for the Bafuloto Development Project are a part of the Gambia Physical Planning and Development Project of the United Nations Development Programme. The executing agency of the Project is the United Nations Office of Technical Co-operation, advised in substantive matters by the Centre for Housing, Building and Planning. The Centre also advises the Secretariat of the 1976 "Con¬ ference/Exposition on Human Settlements", Vancouver. A meeting in May 1973 identified six themes as the crucial issues to be dealt with in relation to human settlements. In September 1973 the Director of the Centre, Mr. Robert J. Crooks, defined thirteen criteria for the selection of field projects as demonstration projects at the Con¬ ference/Exposition . Within the framework of the United Nations Environment Programme the definition of the problems of settlements and the formulation of criteria for the assessment of their solutions is one of considerable historical interest. This report examines the selected criteria and themes as applied to the Bafuloto Development Project. 3 THE PROBLEMS OF HUMAN SETTLEMENT AND THE CRITERIA FOR ASSESSING THEIR SOLUTIONS The themes selected for the "1976 Conference/Exposition on Human Settlements", in Vancouver are: theme id est 1 Human needs in the environment 1.1 sociocultural pro¬ of human settlements blems of urbani¬ zation The role of settlements in 2.1 urbanization goals national development 2.2 policies 2.3 strategies 2.4 programmes 3. The structure and quality 3.1 housing of the environment of human 3.2 land use settlements 3.3 transportation 3.4 community infra¬ structure 3.5 other 4. Special problems in human 4.1 squatters settlements 4.2 tourism 4.3 historic preservation Managing human settlements 5.1 legislation 5.2 administration 5.3 financing 5.4 application of new technologies International co-operation 6.1 exchange of information 6.2 co-operation in re¬ search 6.3 training in special skills 4 The criteria for selecting demonstration projects illustra¬ ting the themes are that they: a. offer solutions rather than define problems b. lead to significant improvement in the physical, social or economic environment of settlements c. show how public or private obstacles can be overcome d. represent a successful departure from conventional practices e. be capable of wider application to other countries, broadness of applicability being more important than uniqueness f. demonstrate imaginative and innovative use of local resources and skills g. illustrate novel or traditional approaches, or a combination of both h. demonstrate multiple uses of equipment, facilities of services i. be linked to an existing policy of programme j. emphasize a comprehensive approach and stress the "human" element and the related issues of social welfare and equity k. show how national, regional or local development plans have contributed to the formation of new towns or growth poles, urban renewal, and the settlement of new regions 1. give evidence of the use of efficient and low-cost financial and administrative techniques for providing housing m. illustrate the operation of communications and transport systems, including integrated systems of individual and mass transport. The chapters of this environmental analysis are based on the nominated criteria. Each chapter examines the theme and sub-themes in the light of each criterion. The wording of the criteria and themes has been adapted to the project. 5 The setting and solving of human problems in a changing environment Within the context of the proposed development of Bafuloto there are two sets of problems: the first set is technical and capable of technical solu¬ tion, the second set, affecting the people in the changing environment, is examined here. a10 Agriculture_and_the_change_to_horticulture a11 The people in the project area are of Mandinka origin, engaged in agriculture. Their agrarian life style and orientation is bound to change in view of advancing urba¬ nization, but the agricultural zones in the plan prevent a total loss of ties with the land. It is anticipated that, in time, the static agricultural traditions will give way to new skills in market gardening. Land potentially suited to market gardening has been identified and reserved for that purpose. I The proximity of land also provides a background group- security to the population in case the tourist industry, through international calamity, should fail. a12 The urbanization goals are to reduce the socio-cultural pro¬ I blems which arise from a rapid change of scale and surges in the rate of change. The policy is to establish a minimum level of urban socio-cul- tural and consequent environmental standards, and to question I the desirability of development if it occurs on such a scale or so rapidly that the standards cannot be met. The strategy is to seek enforcement of the standards firstly by limitation of scale through control of land-use, secondly by limitation of rate of change through programming of the I increases in labour demand. There are two consequent programmes, one for physical planning Ml and development, one for the rate of release of development rights. The two programmes are annually reviewed and related. a13 The plan makes the following provisions for the safeguarding and promotion 0f agricultural activities: - land-use zones for agriculture market gardening - access roads from fields to markets - land reservations for strategically located vegetable marketing halls - land reservations for demonstration gardens - river water pumping sites for primery irrigation - alternative access to town water for secondary irrigation. a14 The right of Alkali, or village chiefs, to allocate agri¬ cultural land for occupation is a socio-cultural tradition in The Gambia. The Alkali system is proposed to be retained, but the kunda's, or villages, are to be defined by boundary roads. The kunda land, traditionally "as far as the eye can see" (that is about 3 miles radius) is to be shared by the groups of kunda's defined as Kotu and Brufut. Hence the town lands, Kotubanko and Brufutbanko, will fall under the juris¬ diction of the municipal councils on which the Alkali serve as councillors.

  • Liste Des Indicatifs Téléphoniques Internationaux Par Indicatif 1 Liste Des Indicatifs Téléphoniques Internationaux Par Indicatif
    Liste des indicatifs téléphoniques internationaux par indicatif 1 Liste des indicatifs téléphoniques internationaux par indicatif Voici la liste des indicatifs téléphoniques internationaux, permettant d'utiliser les services téléphoniques dans un autre pays. La liste correspond à celle établie par l'Union internationale des télécommunications, dans sa recommandation UIT-T E.164. du 1er février 2004. Liste par pays | Liste par indicatifs Le symbole « + » devant les indicatifs symbolise la séquence d’accès vers l’international. Cette séquence change suivant le pays d’appel ou le terminal utilisé. Depuis la majorité des pays (dont la France), « + » doit être remplacé par « 00 » (qui est le préfixe recommandé). Par exemple, pour appeler en Hongrie (dont l’indicatif international est +36) depuis la France, il faut composer un Indicatifs internationaux par zone numéro du type « 0036######### ». En revanche, depuis les États-Unis, le Canada ou un pays de la zone 1 (Amérique du Nord et Caraïbes), « + » doit être composé comme « 011 ». D’autres séquences sont utilisées en Russie et dans les anciens pays de l’URSS, typiquement le « 90 ». Autrefois, la France utilisait à cette fin le « 19 ». Sur certains téléphones mobiles, il est possible d’entrer le symbole « + » directement en maintenant la touche « 0 » pressée plus longtemps au début du numéro à composer. Mais à partir d’un poste fixe, le « + » n'est pas accessible et il faut généralement taper à la main la séquence d’accès (code d’accès vers l'international) selon le pays d’où on appelle. Zone 0 La zone 0 est pour l'instant réservée à une utilisation future non encore établie.

In the lists below all entities included in the list of countries are included. Names of legislatures The legislatures are listed with their names in English and the name in the (most-used) native language of the country (or the official name in the second-most used native language in cases where English is the majority "native" language). The names of the legislatures differ from country to country. The most used name seems to be National Assembly, but Parliament and Congress are often used too. The name Parliament is in some cases even used when in political science the legislature would be considered a congress. The upper house of the legislature is often named the Senate. In some cases, countries use very traditional names. In Germanic countries variations Thing (e.g. Folketinget) are used. A thing or ting was the governing assembly in Germanic societies, made up of the free men of the community and presided by lawspeakers. A variant is the use of the word Tag or Dag (e.g. Bundestag), used because things were held at daylight and often lasted all day.
