INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR APPLIED SYSTEMS ANALYSIS A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria One of the Lmporhnt Projects within the Environment Program is that entitled: De- *on apport *stems jbr Mancrgfnq Lurge Intemartiorrcrl Rivers. Funded by the Ford Foundation, UNEP, and CNRS France, the Project includes two case stu- dies focused on the Danube and the Zambezi river basins. The author of this report, Dr. G. Pinay, joined IIASA in February 1987 after completing his PhD at the Centre dSEmlogie des Ressources Renouvelables in Toulouse. Dr. Pinny was assigned the task of reviewing the published literature on water management issues in the Zambezi river basin, and related ecological ques- tions. At the outset, I thought that a literature review on the Zambezi river basin would be a rather slim report. I am therefore greatly impressed with this Working Paper, which includes a large number of references but more importantly, syn- thesizes the various studies and provides the scientific basis for investigating a very complex set of management issues. Dr. Pinay's review will be a basic refer- ence for further water management studies in the Zambezi river basin.

The major research question of this study is to understand what actions villagers took as the coping strategy against the heavy rainfall shock caused by climate change. Our research interest is how geospatial information technique can contribute to this research question. The study area is located in Sinazongwe district, Southern province of Zambia. As for the field investigation, we set the study sites A, B and C where are located in the lower terrace, middle escarpment and upper terrace, respectively. In the rainy season of 2007/2008, our study site had a heavy rainfall and many crop fields were damaged. In this crop year, the annual rainfalls in site A and C were 1442mm/year and 1332mm/year respectively.

  • SITTING “UNDER the MOUTH”: DECLINE and REVITALIZATION in the SAKHA EPIC TRADITION OLONKHO by ROBIN GAIL HARRIS (Under the D
    SITTING “ UNDER THE MOUTH” : DECLINE AND REVITALIZATION IN THE SAKHA EPIC TRADITION OLONKHO by ROBIN GAIL HARRIS (Under the Direction of Jean N. Kidula) ABSTRACT The Sakha epic tradition, olonkho , features the longest and most complex epic tales of all the Siberian peoples. In its most traditional form, olonkho is a solo genre comprised of both dramatic narrative poetry and unaccompanied song alternating throughout the extensive, multiple-evening performance of the work. This work explores the current revival of interest in olonkho, examining what led to its decline during the Soviet era as well as the factors currently playing a role in its revitalization. It addresses the transformations of olonkho in the 21 st century and identifies keys for its long-term sustainability. These four areas—attenuation, revitalization, transformation, and sustainability—are the primary research categories. In order to more effectively posit potential future directions for olonkho, I trace olonkho performance practice historically, exploring the ways it interacted with the contextual milieu of each time period, beginning with those times immediately before and during Soviet power. The research questions are organized around the elements of time , place , and event . The event parameter is further divided into three areas of inquiry: the performers , audiences , and content of the olonkho tradition. The literature addressing these themes is drawn, not just from the discipline of ethnomusicology, but also from anthropology, comparative literature, culture studies, musicology, performance theory, post-Soviet and post-colonial studies, area studies, and sociolinguistic models. Data collection in the field largely relied on ethnographic interviews, documented in first person accounts, both in the text and the accompanying DVD.

Now it bulged with British Empire troops. In the lobby a crowd in khaki uniforms set up a steady bass hum in the variety of tongues of an international army. The uniforms were of the same drab wool but the shoulder patches told a story of the gathering of Aussies and Britons and New Zea-landers and Arabs and Cyprians and Palestinians. From the bar, which stood to the right of the lobby, there came a continuous tinkle of glasses intermittently punctuated by the clang and sliding drawer of the cash register. Over in the corner by the window, a lone civilian sat slumped in an overstuffed chair, oblivious of the hustle and bustle about him. His feet were propped on the window sill, his hat was shoved down over his eyes and an unlit pipe hung upside down from his teeth. He wore an expensive but unpressed tweed suit which looked quite in place, and his heavy wool tie was loosened at the throat. He was neither awake nor asleep—aware nor unaware—he was a study in boredom. Perhaps, if you moved in literary circles or were just an avid reader of minor novels, you would recognize him on sight.

Huang) cCollege of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China dBeijing National Day School, Beijing 100039, China Received 22 October 2018; Accepted 21 January 2019 abstract The cryosphere water resource service (CWRS) is the most significant cryosphere service (CS) to directly affect human societies. Regionalization of CWRS is an important prototype for the comprehensive regionalization of CSs. It is also a crucial cutting-edge exploration of interdisciplinary work across cryospheric science, physical geography and human geography. We constructed a quan- titative indexing system for the regionalization of CWRS along the dimensions of base–supply– demand informed by the characteristics of cryosphere resources and human use of CSs. Different levels of regionalization are subdivided using cluster analysis, the importance index of CWRS, and a location entropy model. A region in Northwest China with significant CWRS use was the study area. From the joint effects of nature and human activity, there emerge principles of regional differentia- tion that govern the regionalization of CWRS. The study area was first divided into three high level service regions according to the availability of stored cryosphere water in snow cover, frozen ground and glaciers, indicating the regulatory function of cryosphere components.
