Abstract:

Environmental situation in Ukraine can be described as unsatisfactory. Technological environmental impact significantly exceeds similar figures in the developed countries. In conditions of the economic crisis the solution of problems regarding the application of ecological and economic sanctions against the environmentally unfriendly enterprises is an urgent matter. These issues should be a subject of the relevant scientific research. When you are citing the document, use the following link http://essuir.sumdu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/13599

L’utilité des forêts s’étend de leur exploitation pour le bois, le tourisme et d’autres fonctions au maintien de la faune, à l’équilibre écologique et à la prévention de l’érosion des sols.

Cependant, avec l’idée de plus en plus perçue que les forêts sont caractérisées par des interactions complexes liées aux aspects biologiques et sociaux, la gestion des forêts est confrontée à un défi, qui consiste à intégrer les interrelations entre les systèmes écologiques et sociaux.

Abstract:

Despite the dramatic increase in ecotourism as a sustainable development strategy over the last two decades (Honey 2008; Yunis 2000), theoretical models to interpret and evaluate ecotourism—as well as the broader field of tourism—are lacking (Farrell and Twining-Ward 2003; Weaver and Lawton 2007). Farrell and Twining-Ward (2003) call for a reconceptualization of tourism study that incorporates social-ecological systems (SES) theory. This dissertation responds by assessing ecotourism as an SES in a dryland setting, addressing the question: "What key characteristics of ecotourism increase social

Abstract:

<p> Between 1990 and 2010 changing perceptions of water-scarcity and evolving adaptation strategies to water stress transformed water management in San Diego, California. This project examines how perceptions of water scarcity affect the programmatic variety, geographic scale, and types of adaptations that are undertaken. It also investigates whether a cultural consensus developed within San Diego County as a whole about what causes particular water problems. Lastly, the research shows how adaptation responses to the collective action problem of water provisioning contributed to resolving the

Abstract:

Protection of water resources in a changing climate depends on bottom-up stewardship and adaptive management. From the ground up, a vital component is maintaining soil ecosystem services that regulate water, recycle nutrients, sequester carbon, provide food, and other benefits. Interacting spatial, social, and physical factors determine agricultural and stormwater management, and their impact on water. This dissertation explores these dimensions within a complex social-ecological system. The first chapter evaluates a participatory process to elicit solutions to complex environmental problems a

The first two studies are based on interview methods and focus more on the social aspects of the production system. Paper I identifies how farmers utilize labor and herbicide

Поняття «конфлікт» було відоме людству ще з давніх часів. Спочатку конфлікти виникали виключно на соціально-економічному ґрунті, до таких можна віднести загарбницькі війни, що забрали мільйони людських життів. З розвитком людства почали виникати конфлікти і з екологічних причин: забруднення атмосфери, морських вод, з приводу вичерпання ресурсів та ін.

To control pests, farmers are dependent on pesticides without any integrated pest management (IPM) options employed.

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The application of reductionism, breaking down problems to simpler components that can be solved and then aggregating the results, is one of the bases of classical science. However, living organisms, ecosystems, social and economic structures are complex systems, characterised by non-linear interactions between their elements and exhibit emergent properties that are not directly traceable to their components. Sustainability assessment frameworks oversimplify system interactions, achieving limited predictive capacity and causing managerial behavior that may reduce system's

Abstract:

In an increasingly complex, rapidly changing world, the capacity to cope with, adapt to, and shape change is vital. This thesis investigates how natural resource management can be organized and practiced to nurture this capacity, referred to as resilience, in social-ecological systems. Based on case studies and large-N data sets from UNESCO Biosphere Reserves (BRs) and the UN Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA), it analyzes actors and social processes involved in adaptive co-management on the ground. Papers I & II use Kristianstads Vattenrike BR to analyze the roles of local stewards and

Abstract:

The development of human societies rests on functioning ecosystems. This thesis builds on integrated theories of linked social-ecological systems and complex adaptive systems to increase the understanding of how to strengthen the capacity of ecosystems to generate services that sustain human well-being. In this work, I analyze such capacity in human-dominated production ecosystems in Tanzania and Madagascar, and how this capacity is related to local management practices. Resilience of social-ecological systems refers to the capacity to buffer change, to re-organize following disruption, and fo

Abstract:

This thesis aims to develop new methods for the analysis and management of multiple ecosystem services (ES) in the context of climate change. Taking the Venice lagoon (Italy) as case study, it focuses on two major research challenges in the ES field of study, that are, understanding how multiple ES are co-produced and interact, and how they can be managed sustainably. These challenges are addressed first through a conceptual viewpoint based on the social-ecological systems framework, which distinguishes between ES with “direct” and “mediated” flow type: the first occur directly through some ec

Abstract:

This paper explores a case study of a Swedish tool steel company undergoing a transition from traditional environmental management practices to an enterprise identifying its place as part of a social-ecological system. The Corporate Ecosystem Services Review (ESR) was utilized by the company to begin this process by focusing on ecosystem services to determine how an ESR approach contributes to environmental management in practice. What resulted moved beyond the ESR to a tailored methodology, the internalization of a systems perspective, and a proposed new environmental management system. The r

Abstract:

Els sistemes d’aigua dolça, com ara rius, llacs o zones humides, proporcionen una infinitat de béns i serveis ecosistèmics a les societats humanes. Tot i això, la gestió d’aquests sistemes és complexa, interorganitzativa i sovint insostenible des d’una perspectiva ecològica. La investigació en estudis d’organització i gestió, tot i que pot ser fructífera, no pot contribuir a resoldre aquest problema, si no inclou aspectes conceptualment ecològics dels sistemes d’aigua dolça o no té una perspectiva del sistema. Aquestes recomanacions conceptuals i metodològiques són més fàcils a dir que a fer.
