Abstract:
Tanzania, like many other tropical countries, has streamlined its environmental policies to institutionalise community participation and improve governance of community forests. The question is: to what extent has the governance of these forests improved as a result of the specified measures? The aim of this paper is to understand whether the institutionalisation of community participation through Community Forest Management Agreements (CoFMAs) guarantees sustainability in the governance of community forests in Zanzibar. Data for this paper were collected through structured interviews from 323 respondents in selected households, and complemented with in-depth interviews with 27 key informants (government officials, elders from the communities, local leaders and leaders of community conservation groups). The results show that the establishment of CoFMAs followed existing legislative frameworks to formalize community participation to ensure governance sustainability of community forests. However, the established conservation initiatives such as community participation in decision-making processes, benefit-sharing of forest resources, technological transfer, and community monitoring of forest resources have remained elusive as most of those initiatives have not been sustained overtime. Although CoFMAs have slightly improved community forest areas, illegal hunting of wildlife in and out of the conserved forests still remains a challenge. As such, the institutionalization of community participation under CoFMA cannot guarantee sustainability in the governance of community forest resources, unless it is community-led, and has access to reliable sources of income. Communities should, therefore, be facilitated with income-generating conservation projects, and/or establish reliable alternative sources of income to meet their needs to ensure sustainable governance of resources.

Abstract:
The communal governance is a process of agreement building and taking decision over common use resources, which takes intoaccount norms that regulate access, use and management of territory, and rights and responsibilities of resource owners. The leveland type of governance generated in every community depends on the degree of participation of its members to generate agreementssupporting decision and collective actions on their territory. The objective of this study is to know the level of communitygovernance on forest conservation in San Miguel Topilejo. A survey was applied to a sample of 58 de community members. Thelevel of governance was determined by criteria and indicators about social capital, collective action and local organization of thiscommunity. The main findings show that this community have low level of governance for forest management and conservation.The social capital generated is low because it does not allow cohesion of its members. Collective action show lack of cooperationand coordination to decision making process for enforcement of norms and sanctions. Level of community organization is elementalthe structure of positions and roles in the participation of forest management. The conclusion is this community show low level ofgovernance because the lack of clear objectives, lack of well-established norms and sanctions and lack of involvement of comunerosin decision making processes and management of common use resources.

Abstract:
Illegal use of underground space in the community is quite common in large and medium-sized cities, which easily leads to community security problems and conflicts, and is a thorny problem in community governance. Starting from the identification of the attributes of underground space resources, this paper explores the data from interviews, explores the governance dilemma of underground space in X community in Nanjing, and deeply analyzes the interaction process and behavior strategies of each subject in the context of underground space governance based on the IAD analysis framework. This study found that the underground space of community has some open and closed characteristics of Common-pool Resources(CPR), and has the possible conditions for residents to act together; fuzzy property rights, low rent, community attributes and other factors together form the dilemma of underground space governance; the key to the effective governance of this problem lies in perfecting the multi-level and multi-subject governance structure, and strengthening the autonomous action ability and sustainability of grass-roots organizations.

Abstract:
Coastal ecosystems and the livelihoods of communities dependent on them face growing threats from overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change. Artisanal fisheries, community-driven fishing practices, offer a potential solution for promoting both environmental conservation and economic resilience. This paper explores the optimization of community-based (CB) artisanal fisheries management as a means to enhance coastal resilience and improve livelihoods. By integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern sustainable fishing techniques, communities can develop adaptive strategies to mitigate the impacts of environmental changes while ensuring the sustainable use of marine resources. The approach focuses on community-based participatory governance, where communities and stakeholders at the grassroots level are actively involved in decision-making processes, leading to more equitable resource distribution and a stronger sense of ownership over the marine resources around them. Furthermore, locally relevant innovations, such as local marine protected areas and seasonal fishing bans, have been shown to increase fish stocks, enhance biodiversity, and stabilize incomes. Case studies from coastal areas under the Wallacea II Partnership Program highlight this approach's positive outcomes, demonstrating its potential as a replicable model for balancing conservation and socio-economic development. The paper concludes with recommendations for replicable community-based small-scale fisheries governance approaches to support broader coastal resilience strategies.

Abstract:
The megadiverse biome of the Paraguayan Pantanal is in danger due to the expansion of cattle ranching and agricultural frontiers that threaten not only the fragile equilibrium of natural resources, but also that of local governance and cultural identities. As a consequence, weak governance stresses the relations between natural resource-dependent communities, generating socio-environmental conflicts. This perception study seeks to find community-based governance models for sustainability in the context of Paraguayan wetlands. According to the organizational principles of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM), we applied qualitative approaches with the use of the Governance Analytical Framework (GAF) to identify problems and social norms. Our findings suggest that the Yshiro indigenous self-organized group (Unión de las Comunidades Indígenas de la Nación Yshiro (UCINY)) can be considered as a model for community-based governance. Besides, we discovered that this specific governance model is highly threatened by the impact of the national neo-extractive economy.

Abstract:
The community is the basic unit of the city, the foundation of social development and progress, and the vital booster of social harmony and stability. However, with the continuous improvement of society, new changes have taken place in community governance. At present, there are still many challenges in urban community governance in China, such as offside and lack of government functions in urban community governance, lack of guidance for residents to participate in community governance, insufficient supply of resources and backward management methods, which seriously affects the excellent process of community governance. Facing the ever-evolving society district construction, and gradually emerging governance problems, how to optimize the existing model, eliminate the inherent drawbacks, give better play to grass-roots governments, and establish a new community governance mechanism is the current problem that needs to be solved. Therefore, in order to further solve the problems of community governance, from the perspective of grassroots governments, countermeasures such as clarifying the positioning of government functions, stimulating the vitality of residents' participation in community governance, increasing the inclination of resources to the community and innovating the management methods of community governance are proposed, so as to provide reference for solving the problems of community governance.

Abstract:
This seminar paper examines the role of Community-Based Conservation (CBC) in promoting environmental sustainability and community development in Ekiti State, Nigeria. CBC is a framework that prioritizes local community involvement in managing natural resources, combining environmental conservation with socio-economic development. The study reviews relevant literature to demonstrate how CBC utilizes Indigenous knowledge and cultural practices to tackle significant environmental issues such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, and water pollution. This paper analyses case studies of successful Community-Based Conservation (CBC) initiatives from regions like Cross River and Ondo States, demonstrating how CBC enhances biodiversity protection and supports livelihoods through sustainable practices, including agroforestry and ecotourism. Social-ecological systems (SES) theory offers a framework that highlights the interdependence of human societies and ecosystems. The theory supports adaptive governance, emphasizing community involvement in decision-making for resource management, thereby enhancing resilience in social and ecological systems. The paper also analyses the involvement of government agencies, NGOs, and local authorities in offering institutional support for community-based conservation (CBC) via policies that acknowledge land tenure and resource rights. The findings indicate that CBC plays a significant role in meeting global conservation objectives, particularly the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 13 (Climate Action) and 15 (Life on Land), while also providing avenues for poverty alleviation. The study concludes with recommendations to enhance legal frameworks, develop community capacity via education, and promote collaborative governance to tackle issues associated with resource depletion and climate change.

Abstract:
This paper explores the role of customary governance in sustainable natural resources management within a pluralist indigenous community. It employs qualitative research design in which key informant interviews, focus group discussions and observations were used as research tools. It discusses how customary governance has worked for the management of resources of Lowa community, Lomanthang, upper-Mustang. It considers legal pluralism and modernization as major theories to analyze sustainable resource management issues in the community setup. The modern governance system has influenced in effecting customary governance system at all levels including the political-economic. The political influence is made subtly through colonizing tools such as development, education, and modernization. The Ghenpa governance system in Lomanthang has withstood several assimilation processes with state intervention and is now strongly opposing the western type of modernization. Although modernization opened the door of Lomanthang to a wide variety of people from outside, the coexistence and complementary relationship between the state legal system and Ghenpa customary governance kept the legal pluralist indigenous community more intact.

Abstract:
Water has a critical role in sustaining both natural ecosystems and human livelihoods. However, nowadays intensive population growth and increasing pressure on natural resources lead to substantial issues related to water services provision. At the same time, mismanagement of water resources hinders water security and leads to escalation of water-related challenges. Thus, the research of principles for good water governance has got a substantial attention and aimed at establishing new policies and institutional frameworks for addressing those challenges. Pluralistic forms of governance, with the focus on community water governance has been advocated as a way to more sensibly tackle the complexity of issues linked to water systems. The present research aims to investigate the specifics of community water governance and analyze how community governance practices can contribute to a more sustainable management of water systems on the case of Oaxen island in Stockholm archipelago.

Para ello, partimos de un estudiode caso: el proceso de negociación entre la comunidad campesinade Michiquillay y la empresa Anglo American, en Cajamarca, querealizamos a partir de un trabajo de campo en la comunidad. Delanálisis se desprende que las transformaciones en la regulación delos recursos comunales, sus usos y su valoración, así como el cambioen el peso de los actores económicos y políticos, han complejizadolas relaciones al interior de la comunidad y han creado nuevosniveles de toma de decisión y espacios de disputa por el controlde recursos.

This information was obtained doingfieldwork in the community in 2009. In our analysis we observe thatchanges on community resources regulation, its uses and valorization,as well as changes on the balance of power between economicand political actors, have created a greater level of complexity in thecommunity, creating new levels of community decision and spaces fordisputing resources’ control. At the same time, new inter communalconflicts emerge and fragmentation of community lands increases.In this context the community as an institution plays a central rolein the negotiation process over access productive resource and thedistribution of financial capital.

Full text
Abstract:
Community forestry in the middle hills of Nepal has been undergoing unprecedented changes in recent years. Community forestry was first introduced in 1978 to address forest degradation through partnership between local people and the government to manage community forests. Development practitioners and policy makers are recently and increasingly concerned with gender and social equity issues in community forestry. Furthermore, a myriad of external actors are invovled directly in community forestry at the local level. Academic research on community forestry in Nepal, however, has not adequately studied the interrelationships between gender relations, local institutions of community forestry governance, and external intervention. In light of the above, my research examines and explicates gender relations in two field sites in the middle hills; the interrelationship between gender relations and the formation, functioning and change in institutions; and analyzes the interface between forest officials and local users. My research findings posit that institutions are 'embedded' in existing gender relations. Intra and extra-household relations define the terms under which men and women enter, interact and influence institutions. Parallel social institutions are drawn upon to mediate the governance of resources, which in turn are influenced by existing 'distribution of power' amongst the genders, and field level extension agent's dual relationship with the organizations they represent and the local users. My research draws from and engages with the debates and understandings in the scholarships on gender and environment; gender analysis of intra/extra household; and local institutions of natural resource governance. I use a combination of qualitative research methods and engage with questions of reflexivity and positionality in the research process. The findings of my research serve to inform theoretical debates on gender and natural resource governance as well as national level policy changes in Nepal.

Magister Legum - LLM<br>Water scarcity is a worldwide threat. Fresh water resources are vital to human existence and survival. The challenge faced relates to the way these water resources are being distributed and managed. As an answer to this challenge, humans responded with what is commonly known as water transfers. A water transfer refers to the importation of water where water supply is low. Water transfers are, however, not a new concept as it dates back to the ancient Mesopotamians. Today, due to the global population having drastically increased, water transfers, or inter-basin transfers (IBTs) are increasingly being used as a means to minimize current water shortages.

Abstract:
Thesis: M.C.P., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, 2018<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 101-105).<br>In Thailand, centralized vertical governance with its 'line-of-command' approach continues to hamper holistic integration of water resource and flood management. In addition, the capacity of small-scale community actors and self-organized entities are not visible to the central bureaucrats. Using the mega 2011 flood as the baseline example, the four chapters of the documentary film,'Visible Flows', are the synthesis of both formal, and informal conversations given by the Hart Thanong community who devised strategies to mitigate flood impacts with less reliance on external assistance, and continue to do so in the present. Conducted from 19th December of 2017 to 4th February of 2018, the discovery of the values, knowledge and actions embedded within these individuals demonstrated a paradigm shift for the water resource and flood management adaptation strategies in several ways. Firstly, it reframes the notion of crisis as opportunity, beyond embracing uncertainties as norms. Secondly, it demonstrates that a fully adaptive strategy requires highly collaborative organizational arrangement, through both formal and informal rules, based on iterative processes and continual development. Lastly, self-governance is central to increasing adaptive capacity in uncertain times. Documentary film is a powerful medium to digest serious knowledge and insights of the individuals and the collectives. With the intention to bring about voices that are often invisible and marginalized in the water resource and flood management arena, the community members of the Hart Thanong Municipality, Thailand, become our educators, researchers and storytellers for this thesis. Using visual research of documentary video as the tool of investigation, I seek to understand the underlying structure that has led them to successful adaptation in order to prioritize collective actions in the water resource and flood management framework.<br>by Pitchapa Jular.<br>M.C.P.<br>M.C.P.

Full text
Abstract:
My research is focused on investigating the socio-political processes taking place within Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) in Tanzania. I draw on a political ecology approach in an investigation of the politics of struggles over natural resources, their management and the benefits that can be derived from this. I bring together theories of policy processes, African politics and scale into an examination of power within two case studies of CBNRM from the wildlife and forestry sectors. I carry out a comparative analysis of these case studies, employing a qualitative methodology based on semi-structured interviews, focus groups, participatory activities, participant observation and document analysis. My research is clustered around three core themes. Firstly, I trace the process of policy reform that introduced CBNRM in both the forest and wildlife sectors, and examine the differences between the governance systems prescribed in policy as a result of these processes. The contrasts between the two sectors in Tanzanian CBNRM are important and multiple. Different policy pathways were adopted, relating to the distinct political economies of forest and wildlife resources and their politicisation within the context of power devolution for CBNRM. The prescribed governance systems in the two sectors contain important differences in the processes by which local communities can apply to participate in CBNRM, the mechanisms of revenue distribution, and the ways in which power is devolved to the local level. Secondly I examine the implementation of these prescribed governance systems and their performance in reality through an exploration of the configurations of power set out in CBNRM, and the struggles that take place around these in ‘politics of scales’ as actors attempt to benefit from CBNRM. I examine the ways the governance systems have been adopted and adapted from those set out in CBNRM policy. I argue that the distinctions between the prescribed governance systems in the two sectors produce separate contexts of re-configuration into the performed governance systems within the case studies. However, I also argue that while the contexts are specific to each sector, both the case studies revealed the same underlying socio-political process of struggles over power to both manage and benefit from natural resources. These struggles to control and benefit from CBNRM are closely linked to the unequal distribution of benefits that were witnessed in both case studies. Finally I examine the performance of CBNRM as an integration of systems of power set out in policy and hidden, often unacknowledged, local contours of power. I address the themes of how the reality of CBNRM differs from that set out in policy, examine the processes ongoing within the projects that permit and maintain elite capture and unequal distribution of benefits, and investigate the socio-political processes of corruption taking place within devolved environmental management. I argue that the struggles over power, combined with hidden aspects, especially neopatrimonialism, local moral economy and the cultural context of corruption, are central to these unequal outcomes and the capture of benefits by a small group of individuals. My research highlights that power, the politics of its devolution to the local level, the struggles that take place around it, and its subtle, hidden forms, lie at the heart of gaining further understanding of the ways in which policies develop, the unexpected outcomes they produce and the inequalities these often entail.

Abstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>By presenting case studies from the village of Mahenye in Zimbabwe and the five villages of the Okavango Community Trust in Botswana, the study looks beyond the objectives, discourse and contests of policy and undertakes an investigation of what actions rural people are undertaking inside the institutions established by policy makers, and of governance outcomes at the local level. These case studies reveal that unfettered devolution can lead to elite capture and the perpetuation of poverty; that rural communities themselves have agency and the ability to exercise it; and that there is limited and shrinking political space in both countries which is reducing opportunities for rural communities to engage with political processes. The Botswana case studies demonstrates that an imported and imposed devolutionary initiative which lacks links to higher levels of governance can reduce political space at local levels. The Zimbabwe case study demonstrates that political space may be more effectively created through decentralisation. The lesson drawn from these case studies is that institutional arrangements and roles should be determined by context specific issues and circumstances and move beyond the structural determinism that has characterized much of the CBNRM debate to date. The study concludes with policy recommendations. These include the need for recognition of the synergy between CBNRM and democratisation as mutually reinforcing processes and the need to be context-specific.<br>South Africa

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter explores the mutually interdependent relationship between community energy and community resilience. The resilience of Community Energy Systems (CES) depends on both the physical aspects of energy provision and the socio-economic and political aspects of the constitution of communities. At the same time, sustainable energy projects managed by communities build autonomy, control over resources, and community cohesion thus making communities themselves more resilient. This chapter offers an analytical framework to analyse resilience in CES and to increase their resilience during their conceptualisation, installation, operation, and upgradation. Resilience is seen here as dependent on communities’ social, economic, physical, and human capital. The framework shows that while some aspects of CES resilience can be addressed in the design of the energy system, their success depends on appropriate mechanisms for community involvement and governance.

Abstract:
An analysis of the possibilities of applying theoretical approaches to the study of the territorial foundations of local self-government in the RF is presented. On the basis of the institutional approach, the understanding of the municipal formation as a political institution, conditioned by a complex of formal and informal practices, including the organization of municipal power, the political and administrative limits of its implementation, subject-object relations of local governments and the population, is formulated. The use of a community approach to the analysis of the territorial organization of local self-government makes it possible to study the communicative practices of interaction between the population and local self-government bodies, the degree of involvement of the local community in solving local issues. The use of the economic-geographical approach allows us to consider a municipal formation as a complex of resources that determine the level of its socioeconomic development.

Full text
Abstract:
The COVID-19 global pandemic has brought to light how public health outcomes are partially determined by governance and access to resources. In historically redlined communities, however, the availability and quality of neighborhood parks and grocery stores has been eroded by generations of disinvestment, leaving residents isolated as they work to build a healthier community. This paper shares the experiences of two community-led initiatives in Wyandotte County, Kansas, that have used community health design in collaborative settings to promote tangible improvements to green spaces and food systems during the pandemic.Both community health design case studies give context for how designers can reframe their methods of participation and collaboration and put them in service to community members who are closest to the issues being designed for. Building upon historical methods of participatory design, socially conscious designers can adopt principles of community engagement from public health practitioners and apply innovative research methods throughout the design process. The theories, processes, and outcomes of community health design illustrate a framework of participatory decision- making where designers can find common ground with the communities they serve.Though the pandemic did not introduce these conditions – park and food apartheids are symptomatic of a multi-generational epidemic of racism – this moment has highlighted the need for new ways of collaboration to address environ- mental health disparities. A framework of community health design is possible through the translation of community voices into a shared vision, designing governance structures to build community power, and turning design tools over to communities to define and achieve their desired publichealth outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
Based on the 2020 Community Service Program (KKN) team analysis, Pakembinangun Village has been planning tourism village development. Pakembinangun Village has yet to be visited by tourists visiting Kaliurang, even though it has natural resources suitable for tourism. The village also has complete health facilities and has long been known as a place of healing. Based on this analysis, healing tourism was chosen as the focus program. Healing tourism utilizes the potential of natural, artificial, and human resources to treat and improve physical, mental, spiritual, and social health. At present, truly holistic healing tourism has yet to be founded in Indonesia. This healing tourism development program aims to increase economic growth, improve people's welfare, increase business opportunities for the community, increase community involvement, build financial independence, and utilize natural and cultural resources. To achieve this goal, several methods used were observation, interviews, literature study, Focus Group Discussion, socialization, and student involvement through KKN. A growth center strategy model was used to realize this idea. The initial development strategy centered on one location (growth center) will spread growth to secondary and tertiary areas (production centers). Integrating governance for developing growth and production centers will produce a multiplier effect regarding quality, quantity, and sustainability. In addition, this strategic model will also encourage the emergence of superior product innovations in growth and production centers. The community involvement model is used to develop the services in Wijayakusuma Healing Park. The existence of these services opens up community business opportunities. It increases village incomes through visitor fees, healthy drinks, and food production by Farmer's Women Group or Kelompok Wanita Tani, tour guides, administrative officers, health checkers, gymnastics instructors, masseurs, accommodation provision, dance, etc.

Abstract:
As the most closely connected space in daily life, community public living space is the material carrier for residents to carry out various activities. The rapid development of community leads to the weakening of community public life, which leads to a series of problems. Community public living space has the characteristics of mixing, stage and transition. It is mainly manifested in the alienation and fission of social space such as community neighborhood space, psychological space, cultural space and public space. Grasp the perceptual characteristics of residents' life and the perceptual order of community space, guide residents' perceptual actions with vivid perceptual space, then release the elasticity, activity and viscosity of space, and establish a multi space governance community, so as to realize the integration and unity of community spatial structure and social structure production.Combining with the current community development trend and related research progress, this paper tries to build the concept of community public living space based on emotional interaction. Taking Guangzhou, Nanjing, Xi 'an and other urban communities as examples, the social users were investigated from different angles such as children's playground, epidemic prevention at home, and emotional interaction of community environment. Investigate the pain points and demands of community public living space at present, dig out the essential reasons behind them, and provide relevant data support for the later design optimization of community public living space. The gradual integration of public life and public space will meet the living needs of community residents, promote the integration of urban community space resources, stimulate the development vitality of existing communities and innovate new lifestyles.

Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to carry out a rigorous analysis of the assumptions by which community self-management is a successful management model that promotes collaboration and satisfaction among community members. The collaboration of the community towards the successful conservation of a resource strengthens community bonds and increases the degree of union and the feeling of belonging to the community. This derives from the creation of the right institutions, which present an effective way out of the problem of the tragedy of the commons. On the other hand, another objective of the study is to highlight the fact that most privatization or centralization policies work with idealized or simplified models of institutions, so that, if these institutions are not the right ones, they can produce an effect contrary to the desired one.

This paper starts with an assumption, that there are strong strategic benefits in having boards with members of different backgrounds, experience, and particularly gender, which is reflected in better corporate governance. The central research question of this paper is: Why and how might Estonia increase the number of women on the boards of listed companies? In the case of Estonia, all listed companies on the Tallinn Stock Exchange (NASDAQ TLX) are included in our sample. The authors purposely focus on developing ownership strategies to improve diversity on the boards of corporations with concentrated ownership structure, without regard to arguments that emphasize equal rights or a feminist agenda. The results of the current research are a valuable analytical resource for the Estonian business community, as well as for policymakers.

Abstract Research consistently shows that children who have opportunities to actively investigate natural settings and engage in problem-based learning greatly benefit from the experiences? This project developed a model of curriculum and community enterprise to address that issue within the nation's largest urban school system. Middle school students will study New York Harbor and the extensive watershed that empties into it, as they conducted field research in support of restoring native oyster habitats. The project builds on the existing Billion Oyster Project, and was implemented by a broad partnership of institutions and community resources, including Pace University, the New York City Department of Education, the Columbia University Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the New York Academy of Sciences, the New York Harbor Foundation, the New York Aquarium, and others. The project model includes five interrelated components: A teacher education curriculum, a digital platform for project resources, museum exhibits, and an afterschool STEM mentoring program. It targets middle-school students in low-income neighborhoods with high populations of English language learners and students from groups underrepresented in STEM fields and education pathways. This paper explores the management of this large-scale project and provides insight with regard to the governance of the various project components.

Full text
Abstract:
The proliferation of community-based armed groups (CBAGs) in Mali’s Mopti and Ségou Regions has contributed to transforming Central Mali into a regional epicenter of conflict since 2016. Due to the lack of adequate presence of the state, certain vulnerable, conflict-affected communities resorted to embracing non-state armed groups as security umbrellas in the context of inter-communal violence. These local conflicts are the result of long-standing issues over increasing pressure on natural resources, climate shocks, competing economic lifestyles, nepotistic and exclusionary resource management practices, and the shifting representations of a segregated, historically constructed sense of ethnic identities in the region. This report untangles the legitimacy of armed groups, mobilizing factors, and the multi-level impact of violence implicating CBAGs. It further explores the relations amongst different actors, including the state, armed groups, and communities. The findings provide relevant insight for context-specific policy design toward conflict resolution and hybrid security governance.

Full text
Abstract:
Introduction Tech-Enabled Community Resilience is an innovative model designed to enhance resilience and optimize impact in complex systems such as communities and ecosystems. The model leverages social network analysis and technology to visualize network dynamics, measure interactions, and implement targeted interventions. Model Structure The approach consists of two key stages: a Startup Phase focused on assembling champions and co-creating a shared vision, and a Steady-state Phase involving iterative measurement and intervention. By utilizing technology platforms for data collection and visualization, the model provides near real-time understanding of network functioning. Advantages Over Traditional Approaches Traditional resource mapping approaches provide a limited understanding of the network based on a static understanding of resources and a lack of complexity about network function. The Tech-Enabled Community Resilience model provides for a more dynamic, systems-thinking perspective. The model allows for precision interventions based on network structure, potentially influencing community-level outcomes. Case Studies and Research Findings Case studies from social care networks and economic development initiatives demonstrate the model's applicability across various contexts. Research findings linking network cohesion to improved community outcomes during crises, and network structure to increased innovation in ecosystems, underscore the model's potential impact. Future Directions Further model refinement includes the development of a portfolio of network-based interventions, integration of real-time data sources, and strategies for adaptive governance structures. This model represents a significant advancement in how to understand and harness complex systems for community resilience and impact optimization.

Full text
Abstract:
The wetlands of the lower Songkhram River basin are protected as a Ramsar site and a regional environmental asset, but they are under threat from numerous factors related to developmental activities. The lower Songkhram River is the last free-flowing tributary of the Mekong River and is a lifeline for over 14 000 households and a haven to many endemic biodiversity species. Local communities in the region have unique associations with the natural resources in the river basin, including the wetlands, and they perceive immense value in conserving these ecosystems. Natural resource policies lack specific guidelines and collaborative approaches for the protection, conservation and management of the wetland resources of the lower Songkhram River. The way forward should be led by a synchronized planning process, collaborative governance of the wetland resources, and empowerment of already existing local community groups.

Cheeseman, Kathryn. Costal Poverty and Vulnerability Dynamics. Institute of Development Studies, 2025. https://doi.org/10.19088/k4dd.2025.048.

Full text
Abstract:
Coastal areas are typically densely populated, with high levels of social and economic activity, and distinct environmental challenges arising from climate change impacts, land degradation, and environmental pollution. Poor and remote coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to environmental change and variability due to livelihood dependencies on natural resources, which are easily disrupted or subject to losses from hydrometeorological hazards, and vulnerable to the impacts of marine pollution. Given the strong contextualisation of poverty and vulnerability dynamics, this rapid evidence review takes a country case study approach, reviewing examples of country specific regional drivers to understand emerging themes and research gaps for understanding and responding to the specific vulnerabilities facing coastal communities, to review examples of community roles played in local resource governance, and the impacts of non-extractive marine pollution.

Full text
Abstract:
Access to affordable healthcare remains a challenge in rural, hard-to-reach areas of Zimbabwe due to centralised resources, deteriorating infrastructure, limited access to digital resources, internet and lack of reliable electricity supply. These barriers hinder equal access to basic healthcare and undermine democratic principles of inclusivity and participation. This report, based on empirical observations, explores how AI and digital technologies can beleveraged to alleviate these challenges in women’s reproductive healthcare, drawing on participatory fieldwork in Matabeleland South and Masvingo provinces in Zimbabwe. Findings reveal systemic barriers like limited internet access, high costs, and low digital literacy, but communities expressed strong interest in using digital tools to access healthcare information and reduce costs associated with travelling to distant physical clinics. However, concerns about cultural sensitivity and dependency on foreign technologies were also highlighted as opportunities for inclusion of local knowledge and actors. Recommendations include decentralising resources, integrating indigenous knowledge systems, creating shared digital commons, and advocating for community inclusion in global healthcare governance.

Abstract:
This Rapid Evidence Review highlights how women's empowerment influences climate change mitigation and sustainable natural resource management. Key findings include: Political representation - Increased female participation in governance correlates with stricter climate policies and lower CO2 emissions; Social empowerment - Enhanced political status for women supports positive environmental outcomes such as reduced deforestation and emissions; Gender equality - Strong correlations exist between gender equality and lower CO2 emissions, along with better environmental performance overall; Education and resilience - Women's education is crucial in reducing vulnerability to natural disasters; Social protection programs and corporate leadership - These promote resilience and sustainable practices, especially when linked with environmental conditions; Sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) and land tenure - Both are effective in fostering environmental resilience and sustainable management. Water resource management: Women's involvement leads to more effective and sustainable water projects. The review also notes some limited evidence and emerging challenges in linking women's empowerment with broader environmental outcomes in areas like education's role in climate change, community management of natural resources, and green employment. The review emphasises the importance of integrating women's perspectives in environmental policies to harness these positive outcomes effectively.

Abstract:
On August 30th, 2023, over 90 members of the Placencia Peninsula community gathered for a collaborative workshop to address escalating threats to Belize’s coastline. Hosted by Fragments of Hope Ltd. and WWF Mesoamerica, the event introduced an international initiative, Strong Coasts, which studies Nature-Based Solutions to flooding and erosion risks. Through interactive presentations, discussions, and hands-on exercises, attendees shared diverse perspectives on protecting vital yet vulnerable ecosystems like mangroves and coral reefs. Five key areas of concern emerged from participants: governance gaps, unsustainable resource use, insufficient coastal protection, pollution, and habitat loss. Despite varied viewpoints, participants expressed unity around enhancing enforcement and community input in decisions impacting the peninsula. Participatory mapping activities visualized erosion patterns and changes in habitats, revealing how geography shapes local outlooks. In written reflections, people noted new insights gained while emphasizing the need for ongoing, cooperative efforts to implement solutions. This workshop report marks one of many step in the community collectively working to care for the threatened nature so central to health, livelihoods, and heritage along the peninsula. We are deeply grateful to all the participants who generously contributed their time, energy, and invaluable insights. As the Strong Coasts project moves forward, we are guided by the words of Jamaican philosopher Sylvia Wynter: “What we do to nature we do to ourselves. Let us walk gently through life.

Full text
Abstract:
Integrated landscape management for sustainable livelihoods and positive environmental outcomes has been desired by many developing countries, especially for mountainous areas where agricultural activities, if not well managed, will likely degrade vulnerable landscapes. This research was an attempt to characterize the landscape in Chieng Yen Commune, Son La Province in Northwest Viet Nam to generate knowledge and understanding of local conditions and to propose a workable governance mechanism to sustainably manage the landscape. ICRAF, together with national partners — Vietnamese Academy of Forest Sciences, Soil and Fertilizer Research Institute — and local partners — Son La Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Son La Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Chieng Yen Commune People’s Committee — conducted rapid assessments in the landscape, including land-use mapping, land-use characterization, a household survey and participatory landscape assessment using an ecosystem services framework. We found that the landscape and peoples’ livelihoods are at risk from the continuous degradation of forest and agricultural land, and declining productivity, ecosystem conditions and services. Half of households live below the poverty line with insufficient agricultural production for subsistence. Unsustainable agricultural practices and other livelihood activities are causing more damage to the forest. Meanwhile, existing forest and landscape governance mechanisms are generally not inclusive of local community engagement. Initial recommendations are provided, including further assessment to address current knowledge gaps.

Abstract:
This report explores the potential of Urban Agriculture (UA) to enhance food security, improve resource efficiency, and promote smart, resilient, and circular cities. The discussion is framed within the scope of the Horizon 2020 project ‘Sino-European Innovative Green and Smart Cities’ (SiEUGreen) which explored different pathways to turn waste into resources for growing food in cities through the combination of different technologies. These technologies were tested in five showcases: Campus Ås, in Ås, Norway; World Gardens and Brabrand Fællesgartneriet community gardens in Aarhus, Denmark; Turunçlu greenhouse in Atakya, Turkey; Sanyuan Farm, in Beijing, and Futiancangjun residential area in Changsha, China. The insights and knowledge gained with these showcases were the basis to discuss the barriers and drivers of UA in the transition to more sustainable and resilient circular cities, across five aspects (1) environmental, (2) technological, (3) economic, (4) social and cultural and (5) regulatory and institutional issues. The results suggest that city food provision and UA systems can be designed considering circular economy regenerative cycles, but it is important to promote local research that can highlight policy solutions to address context-related barriers and limitations. Among the main lessons learned across the different aspects, we highlight: - The need for more evidence-based research, clear monitoring tools and evaluation/assessment of the different UA typologies and their impact on the environment, society and economy; - The implementation of innovative technological developments that support and promote UA for reduce; reuse, recycle/recover resources require more experimentation, large-scale tests and validation both concerning their efficiency, positive environmental impacts, as well as economic viability; - The need for high investments, difficulties accessing financial support, underdeveloped business case for circular resource models, and limited recognition of the positive and indirect economic, environmental benefits of UA are among the main barriers that limit the uptake of agriculture in cities; - Despite the significant role UA can play in advancing a circular economy (e.g., by supporting sustainable local food systems, promoting community resilience and reducing waste), behaviour and cultural barriers were found to have a deep impact when fostering a closed-loop approach to UA, especially concerning overcoming prejudice against waste as a resource, - Local governance and public policy play a central role in framing and supporting UA (e.g., incentives, funding, regulatory frameworks) as a pathway that enables close loops in cities.
