This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural communities, often the first indicators of economic downturns, play an important role in planning for development and sustainability. Increasingly, these communities are compelled to reimagine the paths that lead not only to economic success, but also to the cultural, social, environmental, and institutional pillars of sustainability. As the contributors to this volume demonstrate, there are many examples of such innovation and creativity, and many communities that seek out new ways to build the collaboration, capacity, and autonomy necessary to survive and flourish.

Book excerpt: Over the centuries, people living in Newfoundland and Labrador have demonstrated remarkable resourcefulness in order to reap the bounty of both sea and land. However, despite renewed interest in traditional Newfoundland and Labrador cuisine, the reality is that many cannot attain healthy and affordable food. Food Futures contributes to the Canadian food studies literature by exploring the origins, present day complexities, and future of the Newfoundland and Labrador food system. This interdisciplinary collection draws from the research of 24 scholars in disciplines ranging from anthropology to biology. Collectively, the authors offer a vision for a sustainable food system that meets the dual goals of achieving food security and food sovereignty for all.

Download or read book Communities Development and Sustainability across Canada written by John T. Pierce and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a sustainable community? The pressing need to answer this simple question is what prompted John Pierce and Ann Dale to gather the essays in this volume. Communities, Development, and Sustainability across Canada is a timely synthesis of work on how Canadian communities can achieve sustainable development. It bridges the gap between theory and praxis and brings together academics, policy makers, and community activists, all of whom have argued for increased local participation in sustainable community development. Communities have become the weak link in efforts to refashion relations between the environment and the economy. The goal of this book is not simply to describe problems but also to suggest answers, not simply to offer theory but also to promote action, so that Canadian communities can better achieve sustainable development.

Book excerpt: This report is currently available in an electronic format only. To view the report and others published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), please visit IUCN's website. Governance for sustainability is defined as the set of written and unwritten rules that link ecological citizenship with institutions and norms of governance. It is a complex topic because it addresses the three issues of globalization, democracy and sustainability. No form of governance can succeed if there is no common bond between those who govern and those who are being governed. The real issue is whether the common good, that is, the sustainability of life, can be pursued through democratic forms of governance. This publication compiles information, evaluations and case studies to enable the reader to explore and reflect upon governance for sustainability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines both subjective & objective social indicators of community sustainability in the Western Newfoundland Model Forest, with a specific focus on the communities of Corner Brook, Pasadena, Lark Harbour, and Rocky Harbour as these are representative of the region's community types. The objective measures are in the form of Canadian Census data and the subjective measures come from personal interviews with community residents. Six key indicators are used to assess community sustainability: population, employment, income, human capital, poverty, and real estate. The findings are synthesized in discussions of resource dependence, the differences in what the indicators show for each of the communities, and the contrasts between what the subjective & objective indicators show.

Download or read book Community Participation in Sustainable Tourism Development in Rose Blanche Newfoundland and Labrador written by Tanay Bhushon Sarkar and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research focuses on the community participation in sustainable tourism development in Rose Blanche, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Rose Blanche is one of the six remaining small towns on Newfoundland and Labrador province's Southwest shore. The traditional occupation of the local communities of Rose Blanche was fishing. When the fishing industry collapsed in Rose Blanche in 1990, and the town faced economic restructuring, it became clear that the ability of Rose Blanche to grow and provide employment opportunities to its community members can no longer depend solely on the fishing industry. Consequently, tourism has been identified as the most suitable alternative. In this research, participatory action research has been chosen as a research method to explore the attitudes and perceptions of local residents' about tourism development in Rose Blanche; the community participation process in tourism planning and implementation; and the three main dimensions of tourism impact on the community: economic, socio-cultural and environmental. Eight policy recommendations for future sustainable tourism development in the research area are presented. Findings suggest that sustainable tourism development should be encouraged in the region, but that its potential is limited unless government is supportive of the process and the community members actively participate in the tourism development process by building tourism infrastructure and attracting off-season visitors. This research concludes that despite demographic and economic challenges, the tourism sector in Rose Blanche has the potential for further development, in the form of cruise ship tourism, camping, iceberg visitation and other resource-based activities. The local community's perception of tourism and the additional environmental and societal aspects of tourism are positive in Rose Blanche, which is essential for its sustainable tourism development.
