THE HUMAN ENVIRONMENT Flashcards
may be defined as the INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF THE ECONOMICS, SOCIAL, AND PHYSICAL RESOURCES OF A SPACIALLY BOUNDED AREA.
REGIONAL PLANNING
The PROCESS OF GUIDING AND DIRECTING THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF LAND, URBAN ENVIRONMENT, URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE, AND RELATED ECOSYSTEM AND HUMAN SERVICES
ensures the MAXIMUM LEVEL OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE, WISE MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF INFRASTRUCTURES.
URBAN PLANNING
REFFERED TO AS EnP
KNOWN AS URBAN/REGIONAL PLANNER, CITY PLANNER, AND TOWN/COUNTRY OR HUMAN SETTLEMENTS PLANNER.
GENERALLY INVOLVED IN THE ART AND SCIENCE OF ANALYZING, SPECIFYING , CLARIFYING HARMONIZING, MANAGING AND REGULATING THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF LND AND WATER RESOURCES, IN RELATION TO THEIR ENVIRONS.
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER
IT IS A COMPLEX, HIGHLY ORGANIZED STRUCTURE MADE UP OF UNIQUE CELLS THAT WORKD TOGETHER TO ACCOMPLISH THE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS NECESSARY FOR SUSTAINING LIFE
THE HUMAN BODY
NORMAL BODYY TEMPERATURE OF HUMAN IS
GIVE OFF FOUR TIMES AS MUCH HEAT USED TO MAINTAIN A STABLE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE
UNDER 99 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT OR 37 DEGREE CELSIUS
THE COOLING SYSTEM OF THE BODY
- RESPIRATION - HEATING OF RESPIRED AIR
- VAPORIZATION - of water from the lungs and breathing passage
- CONVECTION AND RADIATION - of heat from the surface of the skin
- DIFFUSION - of small amounts of water vapor through the skin
When the rate of cooling by respiration, skin diffusion, skin radiation, and skin convection is insufficient to meet our body’s demands
WE SWEAT
Body responds to excessive heat loss by
lowering the temperature of the feet and hands.
Rapid heat loss results to
“goose pimpling” or goose bumps”
Cut down the exposed surface area of the body by
folding, hunching the shoulders, and bringing the legs tightly together.
raises the metabolic heat production
exercise
an involuntary form of heat-generating muscular motion
Shivering
when the deep-body temperature falls, the human body goes into
HYPOTHERMIA
