Discussion

Ian M-H (X) Jan 4, 2006:
Milieuschutz is not primarily about buildings per se but about preserving an area's socio-economic make-up. See e.g. http://www.berlin.de/ba-pankow/Verwaltung/Stadt/infomilieu.h...

Peer comment(s):

agree Ian M-H (X) : or just "urban environmental management" - the assumption being that the "management" is of a positive kind that includes the "Schutz" - http://www.gdrc.org/uem/ // here specifically: neighbourhood conservation measures (including rent ceilings) ???

disagree Ricki Farn : I don't think they mean the (natural) environment, but the Milieu as in "Zille sein Miljöh", i.e. the society, atmosphere and quirks of a certain part of the city

agree Wenjer Leuschel (X) : "Milieu protect" will do, I guess. Because "milieu" has already socio-spatial character. / Thank you for the reference.
6 mins
Thank you & danke, Wenjer! I presume "§ 172 BauGB" could clarify the matter.
disagree Ian M-H (X) : Your reference is a German site and the term you offer, especially "the built structure", sounds distinctly non-native to me. The "built environment", on the other hand, is an established term.

I wish I knew your opinion about "built Milieu" :), Ian

conservation area

This involves additional planning regulations to control the type of development - even the colour of paint :-) that is allowed.
So the sentence reads "this is not the first attempt to establish a conservation area in this district"
Peer comment(s):

neutral Ian M-H (X) : Does this go far enough? Mileuschutz is about population as much as buildings... see ref. above. Perhaps neighbourhood conservation measures (including rent ceilings) ??
23 mins
Don't forget it's *einen* Milieuschutz - if it was non-specific measures (and what else is there) why the article?
agree Maureen Millington-Brodie

environmental protection structure / Landfill

Typical of the nations under review is a multi-tiered environmental protection structure that may involve national, State or provincial, and local governments. Within this structure a number of models of environmental protection can be identified. Agencies may be specialised; that is, environmental protection may be the core function of an organisation. Agencies may be non-specialised; that is, environmental protection is merely an incidental responsibility for them. In the case of jurisdictions with specialised agencies, environmental protection may be centralised, with one agency having responsibility for almost all aspects of environmental protection24, or it may be segmented, typified by the existence of a number of environment protection bodies each endowed with one or more of the functions of policy formulation, standard setting, administration and enforcement.25 Even in 'specialist' systems, many other government departments and agencies may have functions that impinge on environmental protection; for example, mines and forestry.[http://www.unicri.it/wwk/publications/books/series/n50.php]

Another possibility is that what is meant here is a Landfill (considering also that emphasis is given "in diesem Stadtteil") [http://www.gvrd.bc.ca/ashcroftranch/EnviorAssessReport/Volum...]

Peer comment(s):

disagree Ian M-H (X) : Mines and forestry? A landfill site to protect/enhance the urban environment? (Asker's context tells us that this is a Stadtteil, i.e. urban.)
7 mins
Happy new Year/Mines..was an example. In Athens this would not be peculiar (in a Stadtteil)((depends also what is meant by a Stadtteil))
