商品描述
This book highlights the role of North American entomologists and health workers in developing control strategies for diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and how mosquito's ecology determined building regulations that shaped the image of the Canal Zone towns. On the other hand, the book determines the environmental assessment of Fort Clayton, determined by the two fundamental aspects that set on the environmental impact of an urban settlement. The first one is the suitability of the site's location. The secondis the urban structure of the adopted city model and its impact on the connectivity of the surrounding forests during the twentieth century.
This text is aimed at both undergraduate and postgraduate students, architects, urban planners, historians, and environmental science professionals.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在二十世紀初，巴拿馬運河的建設創造了一個與跨洋水道平行的飛地，該地區由美國政府控制：運河區。本書旨在通過對克萊頓堡的案例研究，了解巴拿馬運河區城市規劃對人類健康、自然資源和生物多樣性的影響，並強調衛生問題如何塑造建築法規和城鎮的城市景觀。
本書突顯了北美昆蟲學家和衛生工作者在制定控制蚊子傳播疾病的策略中的角色，以及蚊子的生態如何決定了塑造運河區城鎮形象的建築法規。另一方面，本書確定了克萊頓堡的環境評估，這是由兩個基本方面決定的，這些方面影響了城市定居點的環境影響。第一個是該地點位置的適宜性。第二個是所採用城市模型的城市結構及其對二十世紀周圍森林連通性的影響。
本書適合本科生和研究生、建築師、城市規劃師、歷史學家以及環境科學專業人士閱讀。
