Housing Advantages for the Better-Connected? Institutional Segmentation, Settlement Type and Social Network Effects in Hungary’s Late State-Socialist Housing Inequalities Hence, the redistributive predominance of the socialist state weakens as we move from the urban to the rural context. While treating the urban as the focus of the analysis of state socialism is often warranted for reasons of parsimony, it has also often shielded important variation in the interest, ability, and success, of state socialist policies to mold the housing institutions as one moves away from the urban context. Yet another side of the issue of late state socialist housing inequalities is, however, masked in the controversy around the relative significance of “redistribution” and “state.” Plainly put, the “formation-theory” approach allows precious little by way of the demonstration of the mechanisms that actually produce and reproduce housing inequalities. hi.rutgers.edu /szelenyi60/bodnar-borocz.html   (7907 words)

This process may take up to two years depending on the soil/excreta mix and the type of tree and level of watering and protection. Trees vary in their reaction to the humus and the proportion of soil to human excreta will also vary from one pit the other. aquamor.tripod.com /KYOTO.htm   (4165 words)

Murray Darling The Murray Valley Management Review, carried out in 1989, highlighted river pollution and waste disposal practices as being a major public concern, with particular concern focussed on the holiday home, or "shack" type of settlement as a potential pollution concern. The Murray Darling Association and the Urban Water Resources Centre (UWRC) of the University of South Australia, under National Landcare funding, conducted a detailed investigation which explored the nature and levels of contaminants in the river system, investigated their sources, and made recommendations on options for effluent management in the future. However, there is no doubt that many of the effluent discharge systems installed in small settlements along the Murray and Darling rivers are inappropriately designed, sited and maintained. www.unisa.edu.au /water/Prototypes/Murray_Darling.html   (134 words)

A World of Books 2000: International Classics (Library of Congress) The term puszta, which normally refers to the endless expanses of the great Hungarian plain, is used by Illyés with a meaning rooted in the regional dialect, as the name for this type of settlement. Illyés calls the puszta "a world apart," isolated in its misery and far from the consciousness of the Hungarian urban dweller, although the publication of this book did much to bring this misery into public view. Recipient of Le Grand Prix Littéraire de la Femme (1986) and Le Prix de l'Académie Française (1988), Maryse Condé "cannabalises" the western literary cannon, as did her Caribbean precursors Aimé Césaire, Edouard Glissant, and René Depestre. www.lcweb.loc.gov /rr/international/books00.html   (134 words)

deanshanger The type of occupation might also be different, perhaps linked more closely with the small Roman town of Towcester (Lactodorum) and the urban economy than to exploitation of the countryside. Nevertheless, the image of Roman Whittlewood, and Passenham in particular, appears to be one of a large population, living in close proximity, but in settlements of varying and ordered rank, served by a network of major and minor routes, in a landscape largely clear of woodland with most available space exploited for arable return. The Watling Street corridor is certainly likely to have attracted more intense occupation than those areas away from this access route, so calculations of population size and settlement density might overstate the overall picture. www.le.ac.uk /elh/whittlewood/deanshanger.htm   (134 words)

Plzen The world-famous Prazdroj Municipal Brewery was founded in 1842, partly in response to the poor quality of beer in the town beforehand, and employed a bottom-fermenting process that was widely-copied and beer of this type is commonly known as "Pilsner", after the name of the town in German, Pilsen. The present city was established by King Vaclav (Wenceslas) II in 1295 as Nova Plzen (New Plzen), nine kilometers northwest of an older settlement, Stara Plzen (Old Plzen). In 1989, the town's center was declared an Urban Historical Landmark. archiv.radio.cz /mapa/more.phtml?mesto=10   (503 words)

Research and Excavations At The Phrygian Necropolis in Ankara This type of burials mark the presence of a Phrygian necropolis in the area between Atatürk Orman Çiftliği-Anıttepe-Bahçelievler districts at the southwest of Citadel and Ulus part of the present centre of the city of Ankara during the Phrygian settlement phase of the city which is dated to 8th-6th centuries BC.
