Operationalizing sustainability in urban coastal systems: a system dynamics analysis.
We propose a system dynamics approach for Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) in urban coastal systems. A systematic analysis based on theoretical considerations, policy analysis and experts' knowledge is followed in order to define the concept of ESD. The principles underlying ESD feed the development of a System Dynamics Model (SDM) that connects the pollutant loads produced by urban s...
متن کاملBalancing livestock production and wildlife conservation in and around southern Africa's transfrontier conservation areas.
Biodiversity conservation, of which the transfrontier conservation area movement is an integral part, and more effective livestock production/trade are pivotal to future rural development in southern Africa. For that reason, it is imperative to effectively ameliorate the obstacles that have impeded progress towards the coexistence of these two sectors for more than half a century. Transboundary...
متن کاملWhat Is Behind Land Claims? Downsizing of a Conservation Area in Southeastern Ecuador
While an increase in the size and number of conservation areas is expected as part of global environmental commitments, at the same time, Protected Area Downgrading, Downsizing, and Degazettement, or PADDD, is becoming more frequent worldwide. This paper analyzes the causal relationships between land claims and human settlements on the one hand and the downsizing process of a protective forest ...
متن کاملConservation Laws and Lumped System Dynamics
Physical systems modeling, aimed at network modeling of complex multi-physics systems, has especially flourished in the fifties and sixties of the 20-th century, see e.g. [11, 4] and references provided therein. With the reinforcement of the ’systems’ legacy in Systems & Control, the growing recognition that ’control’ is not confined to developing algorithms for processing the measurements of t...
متن کاملConservation in Practice Economics and Land-Use Change in Prioritizing Private Land Conservation
Incentive-based strategies such as conservation easements and short-term management agreements are popular tools for conserving biodiversity on private lands. Billions of dollars are spent by government and private conservation organizations to support land conservation. Although much of conservation biology focuses on reserve design, these methods are often ineffective at optimizing the protec...
