Exploring the integration of local and scientific knowledge in early warning systems for disaster risk reduction: a review

Natural Hazards, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 114(2), С. 1125 - 1152

Abstract The occurrence and intensity of some natural hazards (e.g. hydro-meteorological) increase due to climate change, with growing exposure socio-economic vulnerability, leading mounting risks. In response, Disaster Risk Reduction policy practice emphasize people-centred Early Warning Systems (EWS). Global policies stress the need for including local knowledge increasing literature on integrating scientific EWS. this paper, we present a review understand outline how integration is framed in EWS, namely: (1) existing approaches, (2) where EWS happens, (3) outcomes, (4) challenges, (5) enablers. objective critically evaluate highlight critical questions about assumptions, goals, processes. particular, unpack impact power knowledges as plural. We find spectrum between mainly dichotomy at start: focus people or technology. most popular approaches are participatory methods such ‘GIS mapping’ (technology) that ‘triangulation’ (people). analysis relations social interaction either missed challenge within Knowledge often seen binary, embedded concept ‘integration’. It important know what different can cannot do contexts acknowledge hybrid reality used argue approach has fundamental implications its meaning. To end, attention processes, dynamics, context crucial.

Coastal wetland resilience through local, regional and global conservation

Опубликована: Янв. 15, 2025

Coastal wetlands, including tidal marshes, mangrove forests and flats, support the livelihoods of millions people. Understanding resilience coastal wetlands to increasing number intensity anthropogenic threats (such as habitat conversion, pollution, fishing climate change) can inform what conservation actions will be effective. In this Review, we synthesize their through lens scale. Over decades centuries, have unfolded across local, regional global scales, reducing both extent quality wetlands. The existing is driven by quality, which modulated physical conditions sediment supply) ecological species interactions operating from local scales). Protection restoration efforts, however, are often localized focus on future depend an improved understanding resilience, society's enhance different scales. important ecosystems around world under threat. This Review explores multiple drivers change priorities.

From Shoreline to Sea: Evaluating Development Suitability Through Coastal Zoning and a Case Study from Shenzhen, China

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(3), С. 1204 - 1204

Опубликована: Фев. 2, 2025

In Shenzhen, as a rapidly developing coastal city, balancing economic activities with ecological protection along the coastline posed significant challenges, particularly during urban expansion and infrastructure construction. This study analyzed zoning, providing valuable lessons for other cities offering both theoretical empirical support more effective management sustainable development. The findings showed that suitability zoning of coastlines revealed no clear spatial distribution trend, most developed areas demonstrating high utilization efficiency, while unused had potential Targeted transformation secondary development could improve resource efficiency needs. conclusion, this research supported in provided practical insights others facing similar challenges management.

Connecting conservation & culture: The importance of Indigenous Knowledge in conservation decision-making and resource management of migratory marine species

Marine Policy, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 155, С. 105582 - 105582

Опубликована: Июнь 25, 2023

Migratory marine species (e.g., seabirds, mammals, fish, and sea turtles) cross connect distant communities ecosystems throughout their transboundary journeys. Due to multi-jurisdictional cross-cultural movements, studying, managing, protecting migratory as well habitats migration routes are deeply political geographically complex tasks. Despite a place-based cultural connection species; inherent rights, responsibilities, authority manage Sea Country (marine territory), Indigenous far too often excluded from conservation decision-making. In this paper we conduct narrative review synthesis of relevant literature analyze four community-driven case studies (both terrestrial marine) that recognize the incorporation knowledge support governance management culturally significant species.

New directions for Indigenous and local knowledge research and application in fisheries science: Lessons from a systematic review

Fish and Fisheries, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 25(4), С. 647 - 671

Abstract Social‐ecological systems like fisheries provide food, livelihoods and recreation. However, lack of data its integration into governance hinders their conservation management. Stakeholders possess site‐specific knowledge crucial for confronting these challenges. There is increasing recognition that Indigenous local (ILK) valuable, but structural differences between ILK quantitative archetypes have stalled the assimilation management, despite acknowledged bias uncertainty in scientific methods. Conducting a systematic review fisheries‐associated research ( n = 397 articles), we examined how accessed, applied, distributed across space species, has evolved. We show generated qualitative, semi‐quantitative information diverse taxa 98 countries. Fisheries‐associated mostly targets small‐scale artisanal fishers (70% studies) typically uses semi‐structured interviews (60%). revealed large variability sample size 4–7638), predicted by approach employed (i.e. qualitative studies target smaller groups). Using thematic categorisation, scientists are still exploring techniques, or ‘validating’ through comparisons with (20%), recording what understand (40%).

Such approaches facilitate insight management fall short accepting as valid complementary way knowing about systems. This synthesis reveals development increased opportunities needed bridge data.

Strengthening religious moderatism through the traditional authority of kiai in Indonesia

Cogent Social Sciences, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 8(1)

Опубликована: Ноя. 28, 2022

This study aims to strengthen religious moderatism through the traditional authority of kiai. The state's structural strengthening only reached Muslim communities in urban areas, while majority Indonesian Muslims live rural areas. A qualitative method was utilized for data collection, observation, interviews, and documentation techniques order provide a descriptive-critical analysis. Consequently, success promoting areas achieved by combining efforts, which have hitherto highlighted approach with that culture, as exemplified It discovered kiai determining factor moderatism.

Acknowledging Landscape Connection: Using Sense of Place and Cultural and Customary Landscape Management to Enhance Landscape Ecological Theoretical Frameworks

Land, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 12(4), С. 729 - 729

Опубликована: Март 23, 2023

Landscapes are important socio-ecological systems. They widely researched through landscape ecology to aid conservation and environmental management efforts, yet these efforts not always as successful they could be in terms of on-the-ground impact. Increasingly when considering conservation, it is being recognized that indigenously managed landscapes have slower rates biodiversity loss better outcomes. Local knowledge connection the can play a significant part successfully managing landscapes. Acknowledging stewardship more effective people with deep-rooted place for understanding significance traditional ecological implementation indigenous-led action. It has also been shown researchers who stronger sense drive initiatives This means human connections strategies, cognition necessary theoretical frameworks. review paper explores literature acknowledges cultural perspectives how this relates ecology. makes recommendations about contribute towards outcomes by embracing mechanisms collaboration participation incorporate local indigenous knowledge.
