a sound structured link between the various targets Explanation: En encadrant la répartition des terres et en leur affectant une vocation bien précise selon les besoins de chacun des acteurs impliqués dans ce projet, , on espère réduire les conflits, la pauvreté et encourager la bio-diversité....but..I am not sure that "targets" is really what is meant here...perhaps "expectations" should be better....that is if I have got the meaning... |

(striking) a good balance to achieve the desired end results Explanation: Another suggestion. I interpret 'articulation' as being the presence of each 'vocation' and how they rub along together and are taken into account. For 'vocation', I take it to mean each land-use aim - farming, bio-diversity. Interesting question. |

to clearly identify the relative potentials of each locality Explanation: Each locality has its own "vocation", which means its typical forest potentials or agricultural potentials, etc. The zoning exercise will apportion to each area its prime potentials. In a participatory planning context "articulation des vocations" means to clearly define and map out the local potentials. A given forest area may have stronger potentials for non-timber forest product harvesting or a form of agroforestry and/or community forestry, while another may be more suited for an industrial or intensive form of logging activities, etc. and another one may have stronger conservation potentials A holistic approach is expected when identifying the relative potentials, hence "dans un contexte global" (taking into account biodiversity values, local farming needs, etc.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days6 hrs (2007-03-20 21:19:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- La vocation forestière d'une région (a standard phrase in French) means the forest(ry) potentials or capabilities of a particular area. Relative land-use potentials or "Relative and-use capabilities" could also fit in here. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days6 hrs (2007-03-20 21:20:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Relative Land-use capabilities" (sorry) |

(a good degree of) integration of the different activities Explanation: ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2007-03-23 09:42:39 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- the use of "functions" implies a pre- existing system, a pre-existing machinery in which all the activities are there only as parts, as organs to perform for the sake of something that's beyond them ....There is no system here , there are economic potentials being actualized...Are forestry or fishery functions? Functions of what? The goal stated here is to achieve mutually beneficial links between the different economic "vocations" , potentials , activities.... |
