Download or read book Contested Country written by Cathy Robinson and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Contested Country, leading researchers in planning, geography, environmental studies and public policy critically review Australia's environmental management under the auspices of the Natural Heritage Trust over the past decade, and identify the challenges that must be met in the national quest for sustainability. It is the first comprehensive, critical examination of the local and regional natural resources management undertaken in Australia, using research sourced from all states as well as the Northern Territory. It addresses questions such as: How is accountability to be maintained? Who is included and who is excluded in decentralised environmental governance? Does the scale of bottom-up management efforts match the scale of environmental problems? How is scientific and technical fidelity in environmental management to be maintained when significant activities are devolved to and controlled by local communities? The book challenges some of the accepted benefits, assumptions and ideologies underpinning regional scaled environmental management, and is a must-read for anyone interested in this field.
Download or read book Natural Resources and Environmental Justice written by Sonia Graham and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental management involves making decisions about the governance of natural resources such as water, minerals or land, which are inherently decisions about what is just or fair. Yet, there is little emphasis on justice in environmental management research or practical guidance on how to achieve fairness and equity in environmental governance and public policy. This results in social dilemmas that are significant issues for government, business and community agendas, causing conflict between different community interests. Natural Resources and Environmental Justice provides the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of justice research in Australian environmental management, identifying best practice and current knowledge gaps. With chapters written by experts in environmental and social sciences, law and economics, this book covers topical issues, including coal seam gas, desalination plants, community relations in mining, forestry negotiations, sea-level rise and animal rights. It also proposes a social justice framework and an agenda for future justice research in environmental management. These important environmental issues are covered from an Australian perspective and the book will be of broad use to policy makers, researchers and managers in natural resource management and governance, environmental law, social impact and related fields both in Australia and abroad.
Download or read book Choice Modelling in the Development of Natural Resource Management Strategies in NSW Catchments written by Katarzyna Malgorzata Mazur and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian public awareness of natural resource management (NRM) issues relating to environmental conditions has been heightened in recent years. However, due to government budget limitations only some of the environmental problems can be addressed. This raises the question of how available funds should be allocated in order to achieve improved resource use efficiency. The motivation for this research arises from the need for a better understanding of how non-market values can be used in the NRM investment prioritisation processes to enable a comprehensive cost benefit analysis of different resource allocation options. The objective of this research was to explore the application of choice modelling (CM) to elicit the values of New South Wales (NSW) residents for a range of environmental and social changes provided by potential NRM investments in NSW catchments. The estimated environmental and social values are inputs to bio-economic optimisation modelling tools used by Catchment Management Authorities to determine land use changes that can provide improved net benefits to society over time. A further objective of this research was to explore scope, scale effects, the distance effect and ways of improving incentive compatibility of the CM technique. These three methodological issues were investigated to ensure an appropriate use of non-market values for NRM assessments at both catchment and farm levels as well as more accurate extrapolations of non-market values from the case studies to wider application. In order to provide improved result credibility for the policy process, the inclusion of a provision rule directed at incentive compatibility was also tested.

They have many statutory responsibilities to do so, and in particular the Local Government Act Charter specifies that Councils must abide by Ecologically Sustainable Development principles. NRM is also a role which is often expected of a council by its community, and the challenge which local government shares with other NRM agencies is to maintain a natural landscape which sustains the activities of future generations." -- Vol. 1, p. 1.
