Title: Removal of Selected Urban Stormwater Constituents by an On-stream Pond 
Abstract:
  A methodologyis presented for assessing the pollution control performance
 of an on-stream stormwater pond, and the application of this methodology
 to a specific facility in Kingston, Ontario, Canada is documented. This
 assessment is based on constituent mass balances for both baseflow and
 event conditions. Results on removal rates are provided for selected
 dissolved constituents, nutrients, suspended solids, metals and organic
 contaminants. In summary, dissolved constituents exhibit zero removal for
 baseflow periods and positive removal for events; nutrients and suspended
 solids exhibit negative removal for baseflow periods and positive removal
 for events; and metals and organics exhibit positive removal for both
 baseflow periods and events. Constituent removal appears to be controlled
 mainly by physical processes (sedimentation), and the uncertainties
 associated with the estimates of constituent loads are quantified.

Title: Questioning the Waste Hierarchy: The Case of a Region with a Low Population Density 
Abstract:
  Discussions of municipal solid waste (MSW) management are influenced
 increasingly by the concept of the waste hierarchy which, broadly
 speaking, places landfill as the least acceptable option for dealing with
 MSW, followed by incineration, recycling, re-use and reduction at source.
 In this paper, we want to question the wisdom of applying the waste
 hierarchy in a region with a low population density. The hierarchy was
 first developed with reference to the high population density areas such
 as the core of the EU. However, in low population density areas the
 economics of the various approaches to MSW is likely to be quite
 different. As a result, the application of the hierarchy could place an
 undue economic burden on a region relative to the environmental benefits
 that might arise. We estimate the costs, both internal and external, of
 the various methods of dealing with MSW in an area with the appropriate
 population density, drawing on information from a wide variety of sources.
 We find that landfill is significantly cheaper than in high population
 density areas, even when account is taken of the associated externalities.
 In addition, it is generally cheaper than the alternative methods. As
 such, we conclude that landfill should not be shunned as a disposal method
 in low population density areas.

Title: The Use of Geographic Information Systems for Resource Evaluation: A New Zealand Example 
Abstract:
  Over the last decade, New Zealand has implemented innovative reforms in
 respect of natural resource and environmental management. These include
 the Resource ManagementAct 1991 (RMA), a notable feature of which is the
 adoption of 'sustainable management' as the key principle guiding resource
 allocation and use. This and other features of the new administrative
 context for resource management strongly suggest a prominent role for
 geographicinformation systems (GIS) and related spatial information
 technology. In this paper we present an outline of the Regional Resource
 Evaluation Project (RREP), a project that has been established to explore
 and demonstrate the capabilities of GIS and related spatial information
 technology in the context of resource analysis and decision making. To
 date, the RREP has achieved important outcomes in terms of database design
 and development. An extensive information base which incorporates data on
 the physical and natural environment, patterns of human activity, and on
 social and demographic characteristics has been assembled. We describe the
 information systems, as well as some of the technical issues that attend
 to database design and development.We also provide brief reviews of two
 applications of the GIS to resource evaluation. One relates to the
 evaluation of changes in regional land use, with a focus on natural
 habitats. The other is concerned with land suitability assessment for
 plantation forestry.

Title: Dynamic Risk Perception in Two Communities: Risk Events and Changes in Perceived Risk 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the relationship between perceived risk and hazard
 events in two communities in terms of the perception and acceptability of
 risk. One community experienced an acute risk event comprised of a fire at
 a chemical plant that resulted in a large-scale evacuation (an acute
 hazard). The other community was involved in a seven-year controversy over
 the siting of a hazardous waste incinerator (a chronic risk). While the
 results are broadly consistent with a learning model of perceived risk,
 the support is more limited than envisioned; hence, the static forces of
 risk perception are stronger than anticipated.

Title: Protected Areas for the Future: Models from the Past 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses the complexity of the protected area mosaic that has
 evolved in the United Kingdom over the past 40 or so years. Experimental
 matrices have been used to assist in the analysis of the various types of
 protected areas. The trend has been towards the development of protected
 areas to serve multiple objectives, although categories of protected area
 introduced under European legislation are more narrowly defined. There has
 been a proliferation in the number of categories of protected area in the
 past ten years; since 1990 six new categories of protected area have been
 established, two resulting from European directives. Most of the protected
 areas operate indirectly through the planning system and/or voluntary
 agreements. However, a distinction is drawn between systems for nature
 conservation and landscape protection with the former relying more on
 direct controls (ownership and/or legal force). There is considerable
 potential overlap of protected areas. New categories of protected area
 have often been superimposed upon the existing system without
 consideration of whether they will result in duplication of effort,
 expenditure etc. We conclude that there is scope for some rationalization
 of the system. Ideally this would involve replacing existing protected
 areas with broader based ones but considerable simplification could be
 obtained in practice by making the powers of the agencies more flexible
 and changing the administrative arrangements for managing the various
 protected areas.

Title: It's Good to Talk! Environmental Information and the Greening of Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on one aspect of industry's contribution to
 safeguarding the environment: the use and production of environmental
 information. Access to such information is an important part of the
 government strategy for promoting shared responsibility for the
 environment. The objective of the paper is to assess how far public
 regulation, private regulation and self regulation provide an incentive to
 industry to use and produce environmental information.

Title: The River Valleys Project: A Participatory Approach to Integrated Catchment Planning and Management in Scotland 
Abstract:
  Legislation and institutional structure have restricted opportunities for
 the integrated planning and management of Scotland's water resources.
 There is growing recognition that a more holistic and integrated approach
 to river management may enable progress in solving some of the problems
 facing Scottish freshwaters. The River Valleys Project established case
 studies of participatory integrated catchment planning for two rivers in
 Lothian Region, the Water of Leith and the River Almond. Nine stages were
 identified in the development of participatory integrated catchment plans.
 These involved all agencies and individuals with an interest in river
 management and a high degree of community participation.The developmentof
 plans for the Water of Leith and River Almond revealed a wide variety of
 benefits that can be derived from an integrated approach to river
 management.

Title: The Ecological Component of Environmental Impact Assessment: A Critical Review of British Environmental Statements 
Abstract:
  Environmental assessment (EA) of the impacts of development is required
 under the 1985 European Directive 85/337/EEC, which is implemented in
 Britain primarily through the 1988 Town and Country Planning (Assessmentof
 Environmental Effects) Regulations. Ecology provides analytical procedures
 for studying relationships between organisms and their environment and
 therefore has an obvious role in EA. The status of ecology within the
 British EA process was investigated by analysing 179 environmental
 statements (ESs) produced between 1988 and 1993. In many cases, the
 ecological information provided was so limited in quantity, or of such
 poor quality, that it was not possible to assess the ecological
 implications of proposed schemes. Many ESs failed to provide the data
 necessary to predict ecological impacts. Potential ecological impacts were
 reported in 93% of statements, but only 9% made any attempt to quantify
 them. Of those ESs which made references to ecological effects, only 45%
 based their findings on new ecological survey information. Consultation
 with statutory consultees for nature conservation was reported in 48% of
 ESs. Although 78% of ESs mentioned mitigation measures, only 23% described
 them in detail. A major shortcoming was the universal failure to make any
 commitment to monitoring of development impacts. In addition to the lack
 of formal requirements for monitoring, the lack of guidance for ecologists
 and developers involved in EA is concluded to be a major factor behind
 some of the shortcomings summarized in this paper.

Title: Cosmetics or Critical Constraints? The Role of Landscape in Design Policies in English Development Plans 
Abstract:
  This paper reviews the nature of landscape policies pertaining to the
 design of urban development in the post 1992 generation of English
 development plans. It examines the landscape concepts which underpin
 policy and concludes that these are essentially concerned with landscaping
 as a cosmetic activity, an afterthought in the design process.
 Recommendations are made for the development of policies that will allow
 landscape considerations to be integrated with nature conservation and
 ecology considerations and thereby assume a fundamental role in urban
 design policies as a key element in ensuring sustainable development.

Title: Selective Targeting in Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Implications for Farmers and the Environment 
Abstract:
  This paper examines socio-economic and environmental implications of
 targeting strategies adopted in one of the UK's Environmentally Sensitive
 Areas (ESAs): Cambrian Mountains ESA, northern part. Larger farms with
 larger remnant habitats have benefited disproportionately from scheme
 participation and payments. This has created a two-tier system of farmers
 inside and outside the scheme within the designated ESA. Smaller wildlife
 habitats on farms at the margins of the ESA have been neglected by this
 selective targeting, which has placed greater emphasis on the conservation
 of large contiguous habitats in the centre of the area. Farmers of
 marginal ESA eligibility are disillusioned, as they are excluded both from
 ESA payments and potential participation in schemes outside the ESA area.
 Two alternative scenarios are suggested. First, ESA scheme prescriptions
 could be changed to allow farmers with only small or dispersed habitats to
 enter the scheme (e.g. very high payments for the first few hectares of a
 habitat entered). Second, the boundaries of the ESA could be redrawn to
 exclude the clusters of small non-participants. This would enable these
 farms to make full use of other schemes currently not available for
 farmers within ESAs (e.g. Tir Cymen or Countryside Stewardship Scheme).

Title: Nitrate Vulnerable Zones and Nitrate Sensitive Areas: A Policy and Technical Analysis of Groundwater Source Protection in England and Wales 
Abstract:
  The Nitrate Sensitive Area (NSA) scheme and the more recent Nitrate
 Vulnerable Zone (NVZ) scheme are responses by the British Government to
 the growing demands of European legislation on water quality. Both are
 designed to check nitrate contamination from agriculture at source, with
 'polluting' activities being changed or prohibited in areas forming the
 catchment of waters where the 1980 European Commission (EC) limit of 50
 mg/l nitrate (N) is exceeded, or is likely to be exceeded. The NVZ scheme
 provides protection to surface and ground water,whereas the NSA scheme
 relates directly to the latter. Furthermore, action programmes to reduce
 nitrate pollution within NVZs are mandatory and uncompensated, whilst the
 more strict but voluntary measures of the NSA scheme are compensated. This
 paper sets out to critically analyse the NVZ scheme, with reference to the
 NSA scheme and further makes recommendations for an improved nitrate
 pollution land use control policy in relation to ground water protection.
 The study area is Minster NVZ on the Isle of Thanet in north east Kent.

Title: How Los Angeles' Air Quality Policies Benefit Minorities 
Abstract:
  This paper examines how air pollution control policies will affect the
 welfare of the different races in Southern California. The paper adopts
 the concept of the Net Welfare Impact (NWI) function to measure how air
 quality improvements affect the welfare (monetary and non-monetary) of
 individual households. The core finding is that many of the benefits of
 air quality improvement are enjoyed by minorities, especially Latinos (and
 African-Americans and Asians to a lesser extent), whose household incomes
 tend to be lower and family size larger than the regional average, and who
 are more likely to live in the neighbourhoods that are currently polluted.
 Thus, because minorities have suffered more from dirty air, they are the
 major beneficiaries from implementation of clean air policies. This is the
 result of the Federal clean air mandate that dictates uniform standards
 for all metropolitan areas.

Title: Policy And Practice Environmental Assessmentand Planning: A Chronology of Development in England and Wales 
Abstract:
  The development of regulations to implement Environmental Impact
 Assessment (EIA) in England and Wales occurred initially as a response to
 European Community Directive obligations. Since then, a proliferation of
 regulations has resulted from the need to meet those obligations which
 were not covered successfully by the first tranche of legislation; the
 desire to extend the range of project types requiring EIA beyond those
 specified in the Directive; and the need to respond to changes brought
 about by privatization.As a result, current regulations relating to EIA
 are extremely complex and are in a constant state of flux. This inevitably
 causes problems for those responsible for their implementation. Ten years
 after the 1985 Environmental Impact Assessment Directive was notified to
 the Member States, it has undergone a review and the European
 Commissionhas reached a common position on the proposedamendments.The
 implementation date for Member States to meet the requirements of the
 amended Directive is 31 December 1997 (ENDS, 1996). However, the 1985
 Directive has yet to be fully implemented in the UK.

Title: Social and Economic Factors in the Spread of the NIMBY Syndrome against Waste Disposal Sites in Taiwan 
Abstract:
  The paper analyses the NIMBY syndrome against solid waste disposal sites
 in Taiwan and argues that the rapid growth of this syndrome has been
 attributable to three social and economic factors, namely: (1) The
 awakening of public environmental consciousness; (2) the increase in the
 value of urban marginal land; and (3) the process of political
 liberalization and the uprising of so-called 'self-help actions' from the
 public.

Title: New Zealand's Planning Revolution Five Years On: A Preliminary Assessment 
Abstract:
  It is now five years since New Zealand radically changed its
 environmental planning regime by introducing the Resource ManagementAct
 1991 (RMA). The RMA swept away the entire tradition of town and country
 planning which New Zealand had inherited from Britain, replacing this with
 an integrated framework for resource management that attempts to emphasize
 efficiency, sustainability and public participation in the new system of
 development control. These new emphases of the RMA reflect the agendasof
 New Zealand'sgreen and New Right lobbies which gained political influence
 during the 1980s.However,the green and neo-liberal agendaswhich the RMA
 attempts to embrace are potentially contradictory. In this paper we
 investigate this potential contradiction through a preliminary assessment
 of the first five year's of the new legislation's implementation.In
 particular, we focus on the operational success, or otherwise, of three
 'efficiency' innovations of the RMA, and consider the consequences of
 these for the environmental and public participation ideals of the
 legislation.

Title: Preservation and Change in the Upland Landscape: The Public Benefits of Grazing Management 
Abstract:
  A contingent valuation survey was undertaken to estimate the public
 benefits of landscapechanges that could arise from reductions in grazing
 levels using the example of the Central Southern Uplands of Scotland. A
 dichotomous choice with continuous follow-up format was used to quantify
 the environmentalbenefit in terms of the willingness to pay of the general
 public and visitors. The paper discusses the merits of this format and the
 evidence of starting-point bias. In addition, the results are compared
 with the preferences of locals and interest groups as expressed through
 focus group sessions and subsets of the survey. A strong preference for
 more tree cover was evident, a landscape feature not well represented in
 the current landscape.

Title: Brazil's National Atlantic Forest Policy: A Challenge for State-level Environmental Planning. The Case of Santa Catarina, Brazil 
Abstract:
  Formulating effective national forest policy in lesser developed
 countries is complex and needs to take into account the social as well as
 the biophysical dimensions which impact on forest resources. Deforestation
 continues to be a serious concern in many of these countries and most
 national forest policy seeks to curb the devastationof forest resources.
 Due to different social groups competing for use of the forest resources,
 however, designing effective policy is challenging. The needs of these
 different social groups must be considered.Unless this is done, the forest
 policy itself can be an impetus for deforestation.In the southern
 Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, deforestation in the Atlantic forest
 (Mata Atlantica) is occurring at a rapid rate, threatening the richness of
 biodiversity. There are a number of causes for deforestation in Santa
 Catarina, one being Brazil's national Atlantic forest policy.
 Unintentionally, the structure of this conservation-focusedpolicy has
 declared all of Santa Catarina's native forests off-limits to any type of
 exploitation, the only state in Brazil where this has occurred, and has
 actually precipitated deforestation. Challenges for state-level planning
 include addressing the national forest policy as well as the
 state-levelimpacts resulting from the policy. The history of the policy,
 the social groups affected and challenges for planning are discussed, as
 are proposed solutions.

Title: Multicriteria Group Decision-making Model for Environmental Conflict Analysis in the Cape Region, Mexico 
Abstract:
  This paper is concerned with developing a model for group decision making
 under multiple criteria. The multiple criteria group decision making
 (MCGDM)problem involves a set of feasible land use patterns that are
 evaluated on the basis of multiple, conflicting and noncommensurate
 criteria by a group of individuals. The model integrates the Analytic
 Hierarchy Process (AHP) and an integer mathematical programming method.
 The former provides a tool for structuring the decision problem and
 determining land suitability for different socio-economicactivities (the
 uses of land), the latter is used to identify the land use pattern that
 maximizes consensus among interest groups. The model is used to analyze
 environmental conflict over land resource allocation in the Cape Region of
 Mexico.

Title: Water-sensitive Urban Planning: Protecting Groundwater 
Abstract:
  Sustainable development requires the promulgation of guidelines for urban
 planning which consider the effects of the built environment on water
 resources. In this context, our paper focuses on the effects of urban
 development on the quantity and quality of rainwater which infiltrates
 into the soil on its way to recharge the aquifer. The paper includes:
 identification of the state of knowledge regarding the effect of urban
 development on runoff and infiltration; a case study-estimation of the
 effect of certain patterns of urban development in an Israeli
 neighbourhood,together with an option for mitigating them by relatively
 simple and inexpensive means; presentation of the components of urban
 planning which influence runoff and infiltration; and proposals for
 continuing research in this area which has been relatively neglected until
 recently.

Title: Brazil's Alcohol Programme: From an Attempt to Reduce Oil Dependence in the Seventies to the Green Arguments of the Nineties 
Abstract:
  The paper describes and analyses: the events, motivations, policies and
 forces that led to the introduction of ethanol as fuel in Brazil; the
 recent decision to continue with the programme; and draws important
 lessons that might be relevant for other regions and countries as they
 contemplate a transition away from petroleum transportation fuels. The
 alcohol programme began in the late 1970s; by 1986, as a result of large
 subsidies, 76% of all new cars were built to be fuelled by alcohol, but by
 1996 that was down to less than 1%. It is shown that the pursuit of
 ethanol fuel in Brazil was not based on long term plans with deep-set
 values, but has been an ad hoc response to a particular set of
 circumstances, including a depressed sugar industry, an ambitious attempt
 to reduce oil dependence and more recently a range of 'green' arguments.

Title: EIA-Learning from Experience: Changes in the Quality of Environmental Impact Statements for UK Planning Projects 
Abstract:
  This paper draws on a research report recently produced (1996) by the
 authors for the UK Department of the Environment. The principal aim of the
 research was to establish clearly what changes, if any, there have been in
 the quality of Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) since the inception
 of mandatory EIA in 1988, and to explain reasons for the changes. The
 paper provides a critique of the meaning of 'quality' in an area such as
 this. Quality relates both to the EIS and to the EIA process. EIS quality
 can be assessed against various review frameworks in a structured and
 systematic way; quality can also be assessed according to the perspective
 of the individual participant in the EIA process. The findings of both
 macro and micro studies of quality are discussed. The macro study uses a
 range of review frameworks (minimum regulatory requirements, an EU
 framework, and comprehensive frameworks developed by EIA academics at UK
 universities, including Oxford Brookes University) for a large sample of
 EISs. The micro study uses a structured questionnaire of the participants
 (local planning officers, developers, consultants and others) involved in
 a smaller set of detailed case studies. The findings reveal that there has
 been a learning from experience and an improvementin quality, but they
 also highlight a number of problems in the EIA process. The paper outlines
 some of the determinants of the changes in quality, and concludes with
 recommendations for developments in EIA in response to particular issues
 raised. These recommendations are set in the context of European
 Commission amendments to the EC EIA Directive.

Title: Swiss Agricultural Policy and the Environment: An Example for the Rest of Europe to Follow? 
Abstract:
  The independence of Switzerland from the EU has allowed the development
 of unilateral agri-environmental policies. Article 31b provides a
 comprehensive approach to ecological farming that now covers more than
 half of the farmed area of the country. It is a progressive direct payment
 system developedin full consultation with farmers and contrasts with
 environmental incorporation in the Common Agricultural Policy in a number
 of significant ways. Despite a number of modifications to the scheme in
 its initial implementation,it provides the foundation for a pervasive
 sustainable agriculture in combination with the production of high quality
 ecologically-based food products.

Title: Fostering Volunteerism in an Environmental Stewardship Group: A Report on the Task Force to Bring Back the Don, Toronto, Canada 
Abstract:
  This study explores the factors that predict initial and on-going
 involvement of volunteers in an environmental stewardship group whose
 members play a crucial role in the restoration of the Don River Watershed
 in Toronto, Ontario. Survey results from 108 completed surveys were
 statistically analysed to explore the characteristics of members at
 different levels of involvement.The data support the hypothesis that the
 active members of the group were not substantially different from the
 inactive group upon first joining, but rather differences between the
 groups developedafter joining. This suggests that organizational factors
 may play a role in determining how active a member becomes. Understanding
 the determinants that affect volunteer participation is relevant for
 environmental practitioners who increasingly rely on volunteer support for
 environmental restoration and management. For scholars of planning, this
 research raises questions about the methodology used for measuring
 participation and the conceptual limitations of existing studies.

Title: Alternative Control Policies for Water Quality Management: An Experimental Economics Approach 
Abstract:
  Problems of deteriorating water quality and the prospects of large invest
 ments for treatment facilities have motivated government decision makers
 to seek more cost-effective means to manage water quality. The most
 preferred policy advocated by economists is based on economic incentives.
 But the response of water quality managers to a particular incentive
 system cannot be predicted a priori . Before any incentive system is
 implemented, its effectiveness must be evaluated. Mathematical programming
 models have been used for this purpose. Experimental economics provides an
 alternative mechanism for testing the effectiveness of such a system. It
 can also help identify the necessary parameters of incentive-based
 systems. The objective of this paper is to describe the results of an
 experiment for evaluating the effectiveness of managing water quality
 under two different policies: a command and control policy; and a
 transferable discharge permit (TDP) policy. A review of previous research
 on the effectiveness of TDP systems is provided along with arguments
 supporting the use of experimental economics to investigate these
 problems. The particular experiments developed for this research along
 with the experimental procedures are described. Key results and
 observations from the experiments are presented.

Title: Policy And Practice Improving EIA for Intensive Livestock Projects 
Abstract:
  Agriculture is being increasingly integrated into the UK's land use
 planning system and recently approved amendments to the EU's Environmental
 (Impact) Assessment Directive will further this integration and cause more
 assessments of more projects on a mandatory basis. This paper reviews
 recent research on the quality of assessments and argues that
 Environmental Statements of agricultural projects are of a much lower
 standard than those for other project types and that improvements will
 need to be made as a result of the changes to the Directive.

Title: Sustainable Development: A Transdisciplinary Overview of the Literature 
Abstract:
  The literature on sustainable development has burgeoned. Over the past
 decade, concern about sustainability has been raised within such a wide
 range of social and natural science discourses that a comprehensive
 overview of this work is hard to find. Literature reviews that are
 available typically have a disciplinary focus-such as ecological economics
 or environmental science-or they have an applied social science/ policy
 emphasis. This paper bridges the multiple discourses by arraying them as
 interlocked parts of a grand puzzle. Ten fields of discourse are
 identified and conceptually mapped. The review is critical, yet
 constructive. It outlines a political ecology of sustainable development
 by articulating four key challenges concerning: (1) holism and
 co-evolution; (2) social justice and equity; (3) empowerment and community
 building; and (4) sustainable production and reproduction.

Title: Planning under a Co-operative Mandate: New Plans for New Zealand 
Abstract:
  The Resource Management Act 1991 provides a new mandate for effectsbased
 planning with its goal of sustainable management. Regional, city and
 district councils are responsible for administering the Act, including
 preparation of regional policy statements, regional and district plans.
 The paper reports on a collaborative research programme,funded by the New
 Zealand Foundation for Research, Science and Technology. The three-year
 programme has two objectives: (1) to determine the quality of policy
 statements and plans; and (2) to identify the extent and means by which
 councils co-ordinate policy statements and plans. Preliminary findings on
 implementation of the Act are presented.

Title: Greening the Fife Economy: Ecological Modernization as a Pathway for Local Economic Development 
Abstract:
  Progress in the greening of UK local government has been hampered by
 uncertainty about the relationship between resource use and environmental
 protection. Ecological modernizationmay offer the most appropriateparadigm
 to reconcile economic, social and environmentalinterpretationsof
 sustainability. The transition from corporate to strategic environmental
 management currently being attempted by some 'green' authorities can be
 construed as an attempt to promote ecological modernization in the form of
 institutional learning. Fife Council in Scotland provides an interesting
 case study. Progress with corporate environmental management has become
 bound up with a radical devolution of decision making. Efforts to link the
 authority's Sustainable Development Policy to a Local Agenda 21 programme
 have been initiated with the piloting of sustainability indicators.

Title: Community Attempts at Sustainable Development through Corporate Accountability 
Abstract:
  Sustainable development serves current needs without compromising the
 ability to serve future needs. Such is not likely given the structure of
 modern corporations and feeble attempts by governments to hold them
 accountable. This paper examines efforts by environment and labour
 coalitions in the United States to rein in the power of
 corporationsthrough such innovative practices as 'good neighbour'
 agreements aiming to reduce both community and worker exposure to
 pollution, repeal of the corporate charter for those businesses that are a
 public nuisance, and linking subsidies and tax relief routinely doled out
 to corporations to some accounting for pollution abatement, job security
 and economic justice.

Title: Local Authority/AcademicCollaboration and Local Agenda 21 Policy Processes 
Abstract:
  This paper looks at a recent example of local
 authority/academiccollaboration over a protracted period of time from the
 different perspectives of those people who were directly involved in the
 process as key role players. The arena within which this collaboration
 took place (Local Agenda 21 policy-making in Manchester) has some
 particular characteristics of its own which influenced this process, and
 these are identified alongside some of the theoretical issues which affect
 the way collaborations of this kind are perceived and (much more rarely)
 are written about. The perspectivesof the client and of the contractor, as
 the authors reflect on their experiences in these roles, show that in
 practice processes of adjustment and of learning were taking place,
 because both sides for various reasons found that the dynamics of this
 situation meant that their preconceptions both of each other and of the
 contractual relationship they had thought they were entering had to be
 modified as the process unfolded. The paper concludes with both specific
 observations about this collaboration, and more general and more tentative
 comments about issues that might be experienced in future collaborations
 of this kind.

Title: Using Indices in Environmental Planning: Evaluating Policies for Wellfield Protection 
Abstract:
  An important task in environmental planning is interpretation of data.
 Indicators, statistics or other measures of conditions or performance
 often are used to simplify complex data sets and to facilitate plan-making
 and policy development. With increased need to stretch scarce resources
 for environmental protection and to target activities that pose the
 greatest risk, there is significant new interest in the development of
 indicators and indices. General frameworks are available for describing
 both the structure of indices and different descriptive or analytic
 approaches in which they can be used. This paper describes the use of
 environmental indicators in planning for wellfield protection in
 Indianapolis, Indiana. Advisory committees used indicators of development
 activity, indices of chemical risk and an index of the desirability of
 management alternatives in developing a set of recommendations for
 groundwater protection that were adopted by the city-county council. While
 the indices were not incorporated directly into regulatory schemes, they
 were useful for informing debate and focusing argument over regulatory
 options.

Title: A Systems Approach to Materials Flow in Sustainable Cities: A Case Study of Paper 
Abstract:
  This study develops a modelling framework within which the effects of
 technology choice and policy on the sustainability of cities may be
 assessed. A life cycle accounting system for environmental impacts is
 combined with systems analysis, to represent the flows of resources into
 cities, the wastes and pollution generated and the technological choices
 available in an urban environment. The approach is demonstrated through a
 case study of the demand for paper and management of wastepaper. The case
 study questions the applicability for paper of the accepted 'hierarchy' of
 waste management techniques; incineration imposes lower environmental
 costs than recycling, and consequently lower total costs under some
 circumstances.

Title: Beyond the Requirements: Improving Public Participation in EIA 
Abstract:
  Virtually every environmental planner at some time deals with
 environmental impact assessment (EIA). Public participation is required in
 most environmental impact assessment programmesaround the world. However,
 citizen involvement is often reduced to a procedural exercise instead of a
 substantive process to include the public in environmental decision
 making. This paper examines public participation in EIA and provides ways
 to improve its effectiveness. We first examine the rationales for public
 involvement and its institutionalization through EIA. Next, we analyse the
 shortcomings and strengths of common approaches to public involvement. Our
 analysis, supported by two case studies, suggests that going beyond the
 minimum requirements can benefit the public, the project proponent and the
 final plan. We conclude with practical steps to improve public
 participation programmes in environmental planning and decision making.

Title: Bombs and Butterflies: A Case Study of the Challenges of Post Cold War Environmental Planning and Management for the US Nuclear Weapons Sites 
Abstract:
  When the cold war ended, the United States stopped developing,testing and
 building nuclear weapons at nearly all of its former nuclear weapon sites.
 The Department of Energy (DoE) began a massive environmental remediation
 programme, which includes engaging surrounding communities in a future
 land use planning process. Using the Savannah River site as an example, we
 show that this process faces large obstacles, especially a legacy of
 mistrust of the DoE and organizational limitations at the federal and
 local government scales. These hinder open dialogue about future land use.
 The authors suggest three planning principles for future land use planning
 and organizational issues that must be addressed before these can be
 fruitfully explored.

Title: A Mixed Bag: Assessmentof Market Performance and Firm Trading Behaviour in the NOx Reclaim Programme 
Abstract:
  Tradable permit markets have become an increasingly popular tool to
 address environmental policy problems. This paper describes and evaluates
 the performance of the Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (RECLAIM) that
 started operating in Southern California at the beginning of 1994. In
 analysing overall market performance as well as industry and firm specific
 information,we find strong evidence for uncertainty influencing market
 participation during the first two years. Furthermore we find evidence for
 flexibility-induced abatement cost savings as well as a potential business
 cycle effect on trading behaviour.Our findings emphasizethe importanceof
 institutional features of trading programmes.

Title: Policy And Practice Environmental Policies in Saudi Arabia 
Abstract:
  The experience of Saudi Arabia in environmental policies is relatively
 recent. However, the Government has established policy direction and
 administrative bodies to carry out its policy proposals. This endeavour to
 construct a framework for environmental policies has been hindered by
 several obstacles. The paper assesses government efforts in this field by
 reviewing environmental policy documents, the environmental administrative
 structure and the environmental decision-making process. A background of
 environmental policies and legislation is given in addition to categories
 of environmental agencies.

Title: The Development of Environmental Action Plans: Turning Statements into Actions 
Abstract:
  The Midlands Region of the Environment Agency has developed a management
 system, in the form of an Environmental Action Plan (EAP) to ensure that
 the constraints and mitigation measures identified in the Environmental
 Statement document are delivered on the ground. The reasons are considered
 for developing such procedures and examples are provided of the
 environmentalobjectives and targets which lie at the heart of the new
 procedures. The EAP is designed to provide a summary of the environmental
 constraints, adverse effects and their associated mitigation measures, and
 monitoring requirements, in an easily accessible document for both
 technical and non-technical readers.

Title: Problems and Prospects in Local Environmental Assessment: Lessons from the United States 
Abstract:
  Local environmental assessment (EA), mandated by five US states, has
 introduced complex management issues for practitioners and policy makers.
 Based on a review of statutes, case law, and prior EA evaluations,this
 paper outlines three key issue areas for local EA: linking comprehensive
 planning and EA; making the threshold determination process more certain;
 and balancing mitigation with public participation. The paper argues that
 all the issues reflect a central tension in environmentalassessment
 between procedural consistency and the need for contingent responses to
 conditions that differ among the projects to be reviewed.

Title: Failing to Site Hazardous Waste Facilities Voluntarily: Implications for the Production of Sustainable Goods 
Abstract:
  A current approach to the process of siting hazardous waste facilities is
 to seek 'willing host' communities that will not oppose but rather
 voluntarily accept risky facilities. Voluntary siting strategies have been
 put forward as the solution to hazardous waste location problems, and
 there have indeed been a small number of siting successes achieved
 voluntarily. This paper argues that, despite claims about voluntary
 processes, there are indications that few 'willing host' sites will be
 found in response to the many that are proposed. Instead, it suggests that
 the limited success of siting attempts, voluntary or otherwise, signals a
 new phase in hazardous waste management, a shift in focus from where to
 site a facility to whether a good is worth producing at all if its wastes
 are not siteable. A characteristic of this phase is the growing influence
 that the disposal potential of the generated waste can have on future
 management decisions to produce a good. In practice, siting failure may be
 one of the critical turning points on the road to sustainable production.
 It can accomplish what technology and environmental assessments have
 generally been unable to do: foresee the sustainability of a good. In this
 way, siteability can be seen as one indicator of sustainable production. A
 good can be considered sustainable if the wastes associated with its
 production are siteable.

Title: Implementing Ecosystem-basedManagement: Lessons from the Great Lakes 
Abstract:
  Under the US-Canada Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, a Remedial
 Action Plan (RAP) Program was formalized to identify and implement actions
 needed to restore beneficial uses in the most polluted areas of the Great
 Lakes (i.e. Areas of Concern). It was further required that individual
 RAPs embody a systematic and comprehensive ecosystem approach (i.e. an
 approach which accounts for interrelationships among land, air, water and
 all living things, including humans, and involves user groups in
 comprehensive management). Careful review and analysis of the RAP Program
 offers an opportunity to gain a better understanding of ecosystem-based
 management for other watersheds, and to identify important principles and
 elements which contribute to effective implementation. Principles which
 are considered essential for effective implementation of ecosystem-based
 management include: (1) broad-based stakeholder involvement; (2)
 commitment of top leaders; (3) agreement on information needs and
 interpretation; (4) action planning within a strategic framework; (5)
 human resource development; (6) results and indicators to measure
 progress; (7) systematic review and feedback; and (8) stakeholder
 satisfaction. The Great Lakes RAP experience with ecosystem-based
 management also demonstrates the need for a transition from a
 traditional,command-and-control,regulatory approach of
 governmentalagencies toward a more
 co-operative,value-added,support-basedrole. Review of RAPs in all 42 Areas
 of Concern provides compelling evidence that successful application of
 ecosystem-based management is dependent on broad-based stakeholder
 involvement in decision making, along with strong partnerships which
 encourage collaboration, co-operation and adaptability in management
 actions.

Title: Towards a Symbiosis: Urban Development and Environmental Quality in the Taipei Metropolitan Region 
Abstract:
  Environmental quality in urban areas has become an increasingly important
 topic in Taiwan. Previous research involving the interrelationshipsbetween
 urban development and environmental quality have rarely emphasized the
 symbiosis between urban areas and the natural environment. In recent
 years, the discipline of ecological economics has applied ecological
 energetic analysis to evaluate the contribution of the natural environment
 to an urban system. In addition, system simulation also plays a prominent
 role in assessing the dynamic interrelations between humans, economics and
 ecological systems. On the basis of an ecological economics perspective,
 this paper establishes indices of environmental quality and develops an
 ecological system model to simulate the interrelationshipsbetween urban
 developmentand environmentalquality of the Taipei metropolitan region.
 Furthermore, this paper not only proposes future development alternatives
 and strategies, but also initiates scenarios of the Taipei metropolitan
 region for policy simulation. According to those results, future
 development in the Taipei metropolitan region should adjust the interface
 and mechanism between man and nature for sustainable development.

Title: IntergovernmentalEnvironmental Planning: Addressing the Commitment Conundrum 
Abstract:
  Public policies aimed at environmental problems from improper land use
 typically work through or with the co-operation of local governments. But
 local governments sometimes fail to appreciate the importance of the
 environmental issues or programmes announced by higher level governments.
 In this paper, we use data on mitigation of natural hazards gathered in
 Florida in the US and New South Wales in Australia to demonstratethat
 planning mandates can suffer from gaps in local commitment to the
 environmental goals of higher level governments. Planning mandates must
 foster higher quality plans and also build supportivelocal political
 constituencies if they are to overcome this 'commitment conundrum'. We
 show that the needed improvements in the quality of plans can be fostered
 through capacity building. Supportive constituencies can be created
 through programmesthat enhance public awareness of environmental problems
 and also through provisions of environmental mandates that require local
 governments to undertake collaborative planning processes with affected
 stakeholders.

Title: In Search of Arcadia: The Persistence of the Rural Idyll in New Zealand Rural Subdivisions 
Abstract:
  Arcadian ideals have long been important in western culture. They
 underpinned projects for colonial settlement and continue to be manifest
 today in urban perceptions of rural lifestyle throughout the English
 speaking world. Results from a study of 58 existing or intending
 smallholders around Christchurch, New Zealand, highlight the way Arcadian
 ideals and values motivate people to move to the country, and to remain
 there. They reveal both similarities and contrasts between contemporary
 New Zealand ideals of the rural way of life and those reported from North
 America and Europe, and have a number of practical planning implications.

Title: Policy And Practice Options for Managing Protected Areas: Lessons from International Experience 
Abstract:
  There is now a wealth of international experience and lessons about
 options for managing environmentallysensitive zones. This paper1 provides
 a brief guide to two sets of options, regulatory instruments and incentive
 measures, that are commonly used to manage special areas.
 Managementapproachesthat combine both sets of tools are then reviewed,
 including integrated coastal zone management, municipal-level programmes
 and efforts to promote sustainable local development such as eco-tourism.
 The paper concludes that, regardless of which approach is applied to a
 protected area, the key threats to an area's sustainability must be
 identified and addressed. Examples and case studies of both good and poor
 practice are included to illustrate the use of different options. In order
 to sustain our global environment and improve the quality of living in our
 human settlements, we commit ourselves to sustainable patterns of
 production, consumption, transportation and settlement development,
 pollution prevention, respect for the carrying capacity of eco-systems,
 and the preservation of opportunities for future generations. (Istanbul
 Declaration on Human Settlements, June 1996)

Title: Progress towards Environmental Justice: A Five-year Perspective of Toxicity, Race and Poverty in Michigan, 1990-1995 1 
Abstract:
  Much present research on the relationship between socio-economic factors
 and the siting of sources of environmental pollution has focused primarily
 on race and income. Using census data, timed-based data from multiple
 sources of pollution, and rates of cancers and low birth weight in the
 State of Michigan by zip code, we present a multivariate model that can
 distinguish the effects of race, income and other land use characteristics
 on: (1) the location of different sources of pollution; (2) progress
 toward clean-up of contaminated waste; and (3) how pollution is associated
 with measures of public health.

Title: Sustainable Development and Structure Plans in England and Wales: A Review of Current Practice 
Abstract:
  In response to a lack of evaluative research into the application of the
 concept of sustainable development to development plans in England and
 Wales, an investigation is undertaken using the media of county council
 structure plans. A framework is devised for measuring the performance of
 structure plans against key themes and principles of sustainable
 development,relevant policy areas and procedures. The extent to which
 structure plans manage to make the concept operational is shown to be
 variable, with better performing plans illustrating a geographical and
 temporal bias. It is concluded that, whilst there is an awareness about
 sustainable development amongst county councils, the translation of this
 awareness into practice is, in many cases, proving difficult.

Title: Reduction of Waste and Electricity Demand in The Netherlands: A Hypothetical Intervention 
Abstract:
  An important question in the present reorganization and liberalization of
 infrastructure networks in many countries is what kind of regulatory
 regimes can provide incentives for demand management and reduction in a
 future situation. In this paper, the present situation in the Dutch waste
 and electricity sectors is analysed. It is concluded that a quantity-based
 tariff system and the entwined interests of organizations are key
 impediments to effective demand management in these two sectors. A
 hypothetical intervention is proposed which aims to remove these two
 fundamental drawbacks. Some likely consequences of the suggested
 intervention are discussed.

Title: Evaluating Consistency of Categorizing Biodiversity Management Status Relative to Land Stewardship in the Gap Analysis Program 
Abstract:
  The gap analysis process provides an overview of the distribution and
 conservation status of several components of biodiversity. Lands are
 categorized relative to management status, the degree to which an area is
 managed to maintain biodiversity. This study examines how various
 socio-politicalgroups interpret and apply the management status codes used
 to categorize land tracts in gap analysis. A key finding is the
 considerable variation among individuals in their application of the
 status codes. This shows a large degree of uncertainty about the land
 tracts and the status codes, and suggests the need to develop an objective
 and repeatable management categorization process.

Title: On the Role of Fines as an Environmental Enforcement Tool 
Abstract:
  This paper provides a theoretical analysis of enforcement and compliance
 decisions when the enforcement process involves significant interaction
 between a source of violation and enforcer. We show that the comparative
 static effects of a fine on the probability of a violation consist of a
 direct effect, which refers to the effect of an increase in the fine on
 the expected cost of a violation holding the probabilities of
 enforcementrelated decisions constant, and an indirect effect, which
 refers to the effect of the fine on the probability of a violation through
 its effect on the probabilities of enforcement actions taken by the
 regulator. We show that, in the absence of the indirect effects, an
 increase in the fine unambiguously reduces the probability of a violation
 and hence should lead to lower pollution (as expected). However, if the
 indirect effects are positive and large, an increase in the fine can
 actually reduce the likelihood that a firm will comply with
 environmentalregulations. Thus, the increased fines do not necessarily
 increase compliance incentives.

Title: Comparing the Economic Value of Mountain Biking Estimated Using Revealed and Stated Preference 
Abstract:
  This research compares non-market valuation techniques by applying a
 count data travel cost method (TCM) and dichotomous choice contingent
 valuation method (CVM) to a form of recreation for which it has not been
 previously applied: mountain biking. Due to mountain biking's increasing
 popularity these estimates of benefits may be useful in addressing
 conflicts. One of the most famous mountain biking sites in the US (Moab,
 Utah) was chosen as the site for which to apply these two models. The
 benefits that were estimated for trips taken in the spring of 1996 are
 US$205 and US$235,for the TCM and CVM, respectively.These values are not
 statistically different using conventional significant levels.

Title: The National Forest and Local Agenda 21: An Experiment in Integrated Landscape Planning 
Abstract:
  The post-Rio environmental accord has offered new opportunities for
 landscape planning linking global concerns with Local Agenda 21 through
 concepts of sustainable development. This paper analyses the potential for
 integrated landscape planning by linking the aims of global sustainability
 with a major initiative of the UK Government, the National Forest located
 in the English Midlands. A common commitment to concepts of partnership
 and participation facilitated by local authorities can be found in the
 National Forest Strategy and in the principles of Local Agenda 21. Using
 case studies comparing local fora created to implement parts of the
 National Forest Strategy with focus groups formed to prepare Local Agenda
 21 Action Plans, it is argued that a common consensus between these
 endeavours has not so far been achieved. Problems associated with the
 interpretation of national government policy guidance following the Earth
 Summit coupled with the constitution, membership and goals of specific
 groups are viewed as the primary reasons for conflict. These have
 implications for achieving compatibility between the Forest ideals and
 those enshrined in Local Agenda 21, particularly in localities where
 mineral exploitation and landfill are contentious planning concerns.

Title: Land Use for Military Training in the UK: The Current Situation, Likely Developments and Possible Alternatives 
Abstract:
  This paper describes the current pattern of land ownership for military
 training in the UK. The main component-armytraining areas-is considered in
 detail. Recent historical trends are reviewed in the context of changes in
 force size and weapons systems.Problems and benefits arising from the
 primary use of land for military training are defined. Relevant literature
 is reviewed. Comparisons are made with training systems in other
 countries, in particular the USA, the Netherlands,Switzerland, France and
 Australia. Recent developments in government policy are described and
 analysed. Possible future requirements are explored. This information is
 used to construct an argument that the current training system in the UK
 is outmoded and unsustainable. The authors contend that there is a need
 for a strategic review of military training, encompassing a thorough
 assessment of alternatives to traditional live firing on dedicated
 training areas.

Title: A ComprehensiveNoise Management Strategy for an Urbanized River Catchment 
Abstract:
  The Brisbane River serves multiple functions in both its upper catchment
 and its lower reaches. The lower reaches are highly urbanized where the
 river flows through Australia's third largest city, and here the river
 sustains transport activities, waste water disposal, a port, and both
 motorized recreation and active and passive non-motorized recreation. In
 the city the river also serves as a locality for community events, as a
 cultural icon and as a residential neighbour. Many of these functions are
 spatially and temporally congruent and, amongst other issues, this
 congruency has the potential to generate significant levels of noise
 conflict. This paper describes the approach adopted to assess the nature
 and extent of noise conflicts and to develop a comprehensive strategy of
 noise management-allas part of a larger scheme for an integrated approach
 to manage the Brisbane River and its catchment. Noise management
 strategies recommended for implementation include noise zoning of the
 river, planning and approval processes for land-based waterway facilities,
 noise planning and approval processes for residential and other
 noise-sensitive uses, codes of practice for rowing and similar activities,
 as well as the more conventional approach of regulatory limits on
 river-based noise sources. The paper demonstrates that a wide range of
 strategies are necessary to handle complex pollution problems of this
 sort, and provides a model of comprehensive action for management of noise
 from river-related activities that may find application elsewhere.

Title: Considering Conservation Value in Economic Appraisals of Coastal Resources 
Abstract:
  Measuring the economic value of environmental quality is useful to
 evaluate policies that affect the use of natural resources. This paper
 presents the findings of a contingent valuation (CV) survey designed to
 measure non-use values for the natural coastal environment.This was
 attempted through evaluating public and scientific values of conservation
 quality. The results suggest that public perceptions of conservation
 quality are multidimensional,and that it may be difficult for some
 individuals to express their preferences for the conservation value of
 natural resources in monetary terms. Additionally, public and scientific
 judgments differ concerning some of the physical attributes imparting
 conservation value. These findings have important implications on efforts
 to consider environmental quality in land and coastal use decisions.

Title: Citizen Advisory Groups in Remedial Action Planning: Paper Tiger or Key to Success? 
Abstract:
  In accordance with the Great Lakes Water Quality agreement and the Great
 Lakes Critical Protections Act, the Great Lakes States have developed (or
 are developing) remedial action plans (RAPs) for severely degraded areas
 of concern (AOCs). To provide citizen input into the planning process,
 state environmental agencies have established citizens' advisory groups
 (CAGs) for each AOC. These CAGs have been hailed as the key to RAP
 success, yet little is known about their role in the planning process. In
 this paper, we examine the constitution, organization and activities of
 CAGs in three Lake Michigan AOCs by comparing CAGs to municipal planning
 commissions, citizen advisory commissions and councils of government. We
 find that CAGs, like other advisory bodies, can provide public input into
 the planning process, foster communication between government agencies and
 special interest groups, and facilitate intergovernmental co-ordination.
 Also like other advisory bodies, however, CAGs can fail to represent all
 constituencies in the AOCs, have limited influence on agencies plans and
 activities, and lack the authority to assure the co-operation of local
 governments.

Title: Informing Smaller Organizations about Environmental Management: An Assessmentof Government Schemes 
Abstract:
  UK central government has targeted small and medium sized enterprises
 (SMEs) as a focus for efforts aimed at improving the environmental
 performance of industry. It recognizes that few SMEs are active on
 environmental management, and has attempted to encourage greater action,
 through schemes aimed at providing information about what can be done.
 Four schemes have been launched in as many years. How useful are they for
 those implementing Agenda 21 in local government?This paper offers
 description and assessment of two free helplines, a site visit service,
 and the Small Company Energy and Environmental Management Assistance
 Scheme (SCEEMAS), which offers financial assistance towards consultancy
 fees. Methods of promoting the schemes and the responses received from
 smaller organizations are also examined. The EnvironmentalTechnology Best
 Practice Programme(ETBPP) Helpline is being used by relatively high
 numbers of SMEs, while the other schemes have yet to reach the audience
 they were expected to. Targeted mailshots appear to be the most effective
 method of promoting these schemes.

Title: Transboundary Pollution between Guangdong Province and Hong Kong: Threats to Water Quality in the Pearl River Estuary and Their Implications for Environmental Policy and Planning 
Abstract:
  The Pearl River (Zhujiang) is the largest river system in southern China.
 The river, which is approximately 2200 km long, discharges into the South
 China Sea through an extensive deltaic area to the west of Hong Kong.
 Water quality in the river is under threat from a variety of sources
 associated with industrializationand urbanization in the Pearl River Delta
 Region (PRDR). Hong Kong's location on the eastern bank of the Pearl River
 estuary means that the quality of its western marine waters is likely to
 be increasingly influenced by the Pearl's pollution burden. Little
 published material exists on pollution in the Pearl River, or the
 potential impacts of transboundary pollution on marine water quality in
 Hong Kong. This paper focuses on this issue of transboundary water
 pollution between the Delta Region and Hong Kong. Specifically, we present
 the results of a preliminary analysis of water quality data for the Pearl
 River. The paper demonstrates that the major potential problem affecting
 the Pearl River is organic pollution, and that the principal sources of
 pollution affecting the Pearl River estuary, and consequently Hong Kong's
 western waters, are the Shenzhen River, the upstream Guangzhou section of
 the Pearl River, and the Dongguan Canal. We estimate that less than 5% of
 untreated domestic sewage discharges affecting the estuary derive from
 Hong Kong itself. The paper also discusses the implications of
 transboundary pollution in the context of environmentalpolicy making in
 Hong Kong and argues that more extensive and effective co-operation and
 collaboration between Hong Kong and mainland agencies should be developed
 to address these concerns.

Title: NELUP: Some Reflections on Undertaking and Reporting InterdisciplinaryRiver Catchment Modelling 
Abstract:
  NELUP was a five-year academic research project into interdisciplinary
 river catchment modelling. The experience of staff involved offers useful
 insights into the intellectual and practical problems associated with
 interdisciplinary catchment management research and the dissemination and
 acceptance of results. In particular, it is suggested that: entrenched
 academic territories, derived from disciplinary and data differences, make
 managing an interdisciplinary team of researchers a non-trivial task; data
 errors, model complexity and model generality masked by a seductively
 sophisticated-looking DSS risk an illusion of technique; and that
 acceptance of decision support is hindered by practitionersand policy
 makers' suspicion of potential automated decision making by default.

Title: The Conditions for Environmentally Intelligent Regional Governance: Reflections from Lower Saxony 
Abstract:
  The first round of regional planning strategies in England in the 1990s
 only made tentative attempts to incorporate environmental priorities. More
 recent work is giving sustainability a higher profile and other factors,
 including the establishment of more co-ordinated government regional
 offices in 1994 and of the Environment Agency (with new regional
 boundaries) in 1996, are also raising questions about the future focus on
 economic and environmental planning at the regional level. Regional
 planning in Germany has incorporated environmental considerations to a
 greater degree and for longer. The paper examines experience in Lower
 Saxony (Niedersachsen) in the 1990s, when the Land has been ruled first by
 a Social Democrat-Green Party coalition and then by the Social Democrats
 on their own, but with still some environmental emphasis. Particular
 attention is paid to policies in the energy, water and waste sectors.
 Although any direct transfer to experience in England is clearly not
 possible, it is argued that there are implications for possible directions
 for regional planning. This is the case whether the new British government
 initiates major changes or whether there is only gradual building on the
 foundations laid since 1990.

Title: What Level of Information Enables the Public to Act Like Experts When Evaluating Ecological Goods? 
Abstract:
  Although contingent valuation is widely discussed in the literature as a
 technique for environmental valuation, it is well recognized that a number
 of problems are associated with its use. This paper seeks to address two
 of these problems: the difficulty of externally verifying the results of a
 CV study; and the choice of an appropriate level of information to provide
 to respondents. Four sites were evaluated, first by expert ecologists and
 then by the general public using the CV method. In conducting the CV, six
 different categories of information were presented to different groups of
 respondents to test which was most appropriate.The results show that,
 given an information set consisting of photographic,textual and ecological
 data, respondents to a CV study were able to rank the four sites in the
 same order as ecological experts. This may be seen as a form of external
 verification to the results of the contingent valuation.

Title: Revealing Preferences for Reductions of Public Risks: An Application of the CV Approach 
Abstract:
  In this paper the contingent valuation method (CVM) is applied to public
 risk reduction. Theory suggests that the size of the stated willingness to
 pay (WTP) for risk reduction depends on private activities aimed at
 reducing the risk level for the individual. The empirical results suggest
 that considering private averting activities increases the explanatory
 power of the estimated WTP function significantly. Thus, WTP passes the
 scope test which proposes that larger reductions from a larger baseline
 risk should be valued higher than lower risk reductions from a lower
 baseline risk. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the follow-up response
 format induces anchoring effects.

Title: Policy And Practice Green Grass and Brown Roots: Understanding Environmental Problems in Deprived Neighbourhoods 
Abstract:
  Understanding neighbourhood conditions can play an important role in
 urban environmental management, especially when environmental services are
 lacking and new approachesare being debated. This paper describes and
 evaluates three research methods for assessing some of the
 environmentalproblems facing low income households and communities: (1)
 broad spectrum household surveys; (2) participatory rapid assessment; and
 (3) contingent valuation. As part of the study upon which this paper is
 based, the techniques were applied on a small scale in Jakarta. The paper
 finds that each technique can provide important and often
 complementaryinsights. The broad spectrum survey is particularly suitable
 to broad based planning, participatory appraisal to NGO initiatives and
 contingent valuation to utility pricing decisions.

Title: Local Agenda 21: Substance or Spin? 
Abstract:
  Local Agenda 21 has become well embedded as a mechanism for promoting
 sustainable development strategies at the municipal level. Quantitative
 studies indicate an impressive rate of progress on strategy production and
 adoption. This paper reports on qualitative research focused mainly on
 four innovative UK case studies, and explores the reality of experiences
 as revealed by participantsin Local Agenda 21. It considers the nature of
 claims made in relation to sustainability networks, the role of local
 government and stakeholder characteristics. The paper concludes that,
 whilst many of the claims about LA 21 are intractable to test, there is
 some evidence of genuine attainment. This relates mainly to processes of
 strategy production, stimulation of environmental citizenship, inclusion
 of various sectors, challenging traditional assumptions and actions, and
 assisting local democracy.

Title: Habermas and Nature: The Theory of Communicative Action for Studying Environmental Policy 
Abstract:
  Habermas's theory of communicative action is used in this paper to
 develop a cultural model for empirical studies of environmental policy
 processes. The model consists of three cultural ideal types:
 anthropocentric material; anthropocentric immaterial; and ecocentric
 immaterial. Obstacles to social learning and public participation, such as
 forms and styles of reasoning and the exclusion of citizens, are brought
 into focus. Finally, the model functions as a criticism of a pure liberal
 view of environmental problems.

Title: Implementing Agri-environment Policy: A Landscape Ecology Perspective 
Abstract:
  An integrated, landscape-scale approach to countryside management argues
 for whole farm or business targeting, and for inter-farm co-operation to
 enhance current Agri-environmental Policy (AEP) and to meet
 Agri-environmental Policy objectives. This paper describes the preliminary
 results of a study in the Lake District Environmentally Sensitive Area
 (ESA), using the ArcView GIS. Spatial data describing the characteristics
 of farms, farm businesses and farmers are analysed. It is suggested that
 there is scope for spatially adjacent farms to co-operate through
 multi-farm management agreements, to achieve and advance the stated aims
 of the Lakes ESA. The discussion focuses on the potential of AEP schemes
 to be reoriented away from their present focus on individual farms and
 holdings, towards a broader geographical coverage and an integrated
 approach to the management of land across ownership boundaries.

Title: Applying Multi-attribute Utility Theory to Decision Making in Environmental Planning: A Case Study of the Electric Utility in Korea 
Abstract:
  This paper applies the multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) to obtaining
 value judgments concerning the significance of environmental impacts to
 achieve integration of environmental concerns at an early stage of
 planning, using the electric utility of Korea as a specific case study. An
 environmental multi-attribute index is constructed as a multi-attribute
 utility function, based on value judgments provided by a group of experts
 related to electric utility and a decision maker from Korea Electric Power
 Corporation (KEPCO). The societal values are derived from examining
 trade-offs between environmentalindex and money. The implications of the
 results for KEPCO are also discussed. We found that the work and results
 can provide valuable insights and decision opportunities for major
 decision making in environmental planning facing KEPCO.

Title: Contingent Valuation and Real Economic Commitments: A Private Good Experiment 
Abstract:
  The ultimate test of the accuracy of contingent valuation methods (CVM),
 in measuring benefits, is whether subjects will actually pay the amounts
 that they say they would be willing to pay in a CVM study. An experiment
 was conducted in which the maximum WTP of potential visitors to enter
 Warkworth Castle was compared against the acceptance of an entrance ticket
 at their stated CV price, thus providing a real monetary test of value and
 behavioural intention. Only 40% of potential visitors at the Castle gate
 were willing to make a real economic commitment following their CV WTP
 responses. Whilst the CVM results were found to be comparable with other
 CVM studies in terms of content and construct validity, they clearly
 failed a criterion validity test, even when the CVM survey was juxtaposed
 to the behavioural intention stage. CVM studies need to adopt stringent
 criteria in deciding the 'truthfulness' and 'legitimacy' of WTP responses,
 if CVM is to provide accurate and robust estimates of the value of
 environmental goods.

Title: Policy And Practice The Future Tenure of Rural Public Lands in Slovakia 
Abstract:
  The adoption of democracy and the market economy ideology in
 post-communist Central and Eastern Europe is encouraging changes in rural
 public land policy. A system of state public land is being partly
 dismantled, to be replaced by private ownership.This paper exploresthe
 present dynamics of the rural public land reprivatization process in
 Slovakia. In Slovakia approximately 40% of rural public land are being
 reprivatized. Evidence indicates that the reprivatization of public land
 is having a detrimental effect on the management of State Forests,
 National Parks and game management.The integrated, centrally planned
 public land system of the communist era is being fragmented by
 reprivatization. This paper argues that this process is creating barriers
 to the achievement of the sustainable management of the natural resources
 of rural Slovakia. Recent Governmentof Slovakia laws and policies on
 sustainable development and environmental management, and adherence to
 international environmental conventions may provide opportunities for
 enlightened change in the reprivatization process. A public land system in
 a democratic free market economy can be an effective mechanism to secure
 the protection and the sustainable managementof forests, farmland, game,
 outstanding landscapes and wildlife. This is an opportune time to debate
 the future of rural public land in Central and Eastern Europe in order
 that enlightened policy making may be fostered.

Title: Statutory Local Nature Reserves in the United Kingdom 
Abstract:
  Local authorities in Great Britain have had the powers to acquire,
 declare and manage statutory Local Nature Reserves since 1949; these
 powers were extended to Northern Ireland in 1985. As of March 1997, there
 are some 564 Local Nature Reserves in England, three in Northern Ireland,
 24 in Scotland and 38 in Wales. Local Nature Reserves are important for
 biodiversity and nature conservation at a local level and can have a
 special role for local schools. The overall situation in respect of Local
 Nature Reserves has been recently reviewed by the Urban Forum of the UK
 Man and the Biosphere Committee. This review will add impetus and purpose
 to the wide variety of programmesand projects involving Local Nature
 Reserves. It will add emphasis to their potential not only for nature
 conservation and environmental education but also for community
 development.

Title: Industrial Ecology for Sustainable Communities 
Abstract:
  Industrial ecology is a promising approach that planners can use to
 create more sustainable communities. This paper examines the scientific
 basis and planning implications of industrial ecology, which models urban
 systems on natural systems to increase efficiency and to reduce resource
 consumption and disposal. A case study of a successful eco-industrial
 system in Kalundborg, Denmark, demonstrates ways in which industrial
 ecology can promote key principles of sustainability. We conclude with
 lessons and directions for the role of planning in industrial ecology.

Title: Community Sustainability Auditing 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a method for assessing a community's sustainability
 prospects at a point in time. It argues that an improved methodology is
 needed to support the development of local area indicators. The method
 presented is community sustainability auditing. The ethical, conservative,
 competitive and co-operative aspects of sustainability are emphasized.The
 method uses an indicator approach within a protocol loosely inspired by
 International Standards Organization procedures. This involves the
 development of a set of questions for audit purposes, definition of
 indicators, analysis of the indicators in the light of the questions and a
 report summarizing a community's sustainability prospects.

Title: Modern Environmental Agreements: A Policy Instrument Becomes a Management Strategy 
Abstract:
  The current trend in environmental policy is to combine public-private
 partnership and problem-solving among industries with a classic approach
 to governance within a legal framework. The country that has probably made
 the greatest strides toward a comprehensive approach to environmental
 management is the Netherlands. This paper briefly reviews the history of
 that approach before analysing the phenomenon of modern environmental
 agreements. As this analysis reveals, the comprehensive approach has
 strengthened the implementation of Dutch environmental policy. At the same
 time, it has fallen short in the core area of environmental management:
 the assessment of pros and cons of environment and economy. Because of the
 limited scope of governance, the fundamental issues of sustainability are
 not being addressed at present. The paper concludes that modern
 environmental agreements are appropriate to a certain phase of
 environmental policy. In that light, some prospects for further
 development are discussed.

Title: Environmental Responsiveness, Individuals and Organizational Learning: SME Experience 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the links between management and non-management
 attitudes to the environment and organizational responses within SMEs. It
 identifies the scope for, and means by which, personal attitudes can be
 harnessed to motivate, activate and help operationalize business
 responses.The paper identifies strong personal attitudes about the
 environment. In some more proactive companies it identifies some of the
 elements of organizational learning which may assist in translating
 attitudes into effective behaviour-including supportive management
 structures, training and two-way communication. However, it also
 identifies organizational limits in this regard. It draws parallels with
 management systems in relation to health and safety.

Title: Monitoring and Post-auditing in Environmental Impact Assessment: A Review 
Abstract:
  Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a procedure for predicting
 environmental impacts of projects prior to their development, while
 post-auditing seeks to assess the accuracy of such predictions. A
 literature review examines the need for post-auditing, highlighting
 several benefits to EIA performance that could arise if the results were
 effectively used. This reveals that, in practice, post-auditing activities
 are not widespread, and suggests reasons why this is so. An overview of
 post-audit findings from a survey of published studies is then presented,
 and it is concluded that there is much scope for raising the profile of
 post-auditing in EIA world-wide. Preliminary results from a recent UK
 post-auditing study based on eight projects are described. Information on
 impact predictions was gathered and compared with actual impacts. A total
 of 366 impact predictions were made of which 78% were qualitative in
 nature; 57% of the predictions were auditable and of these nearly
 three-quarters were accurate. Reasons for inauditability were ascertained
 including, for all cases, a lack of data or unsuitable information.

Title: Land Use Planning and Environmental Capacity: Reassessing the Use of Regulatory Policy Tools to Achieve Sustainable Development 
Abstract:
  Just as it is now widely accepted that the planning system has a role to
 play in achieving sustainable development, so the concept of environmental
 capacity has achieved increasing prominence as a means of realizing that
 role. This paper considers the debate on the concept of environmental
 capacity, reviewing both the mainstream model and Jacobs' more nuanced
 social constructionist model. In doing so, it raises concerns about the
 appropriateness of regulatory policy tools and the implications for the
 distribution of environmental and other impacts. The discussion highlights
 the potential for using the planning system to promote change rather than
 resist it. In doing so, it suggests the need to consider a wider range of
 policy tools to achieve change at the local level and to clarify the
 dimensions of sustainable development that local planning can contribute
 to.

Title: Policy And Practice The Focus of Local Agenda 21 in the United Kingdom 
Abstract:
  The paper examines whether environmental issues are taking precedence
 over socio-economic issues in the UK LA 21 process. A categorization to
 separate issues which can be considered socio-economic from those which
 are environmental has been developed and a questionnaire sent to all UK
 local planning authorities. Results demonstrate that local authorities are
 indeed giving more emphasis to environmental issues, which is at odds with
 previous studies and with the concept of sustainability.The research has
 indicated that the cause may be a tendency to place LA 21 within the remit
 of environment departments and, whether this is the explanation or not, it
 implies that a re-emphasis of effort may be required on behalf of the
 local authorities.

Title: Landcare Networks in Australia: State-sponsored Participation Through Local Organizations 
Abstract:
  Landcare is an Australian success story and an important example of the
 potential of state-sponsored community participation. An important trend
 encouraged by the lead agencies is for Landcare groups to be linked
 through so-called networks. Linking together may appeal to groups as a way
 of increasing their capacity to compete for scarce resources and enhance
 their impact on agencies, regional catchment committees and government.
 Network formation is also driven by government and agency demands for
 efficiency, accountability and effective regional planning. In this paper
 the authors draw on their 1997 study of the Ovens Valley Landcare Network
 in Victoria. This research suggested networks are important local
 organisations and enhance the impact of groups by improving inter-group
 communication and 'pulling down' resources. Network processes also
 contributed to robust, productive, agency-community partnerships and
 suggested participation can increase community influence on decision
 making and be compatible with adaptive management.

Title: Estimating the Benefits of Agri-environmental Policy: Econometric Issues in Open-ended Contingent Valuation Studies 
Abstract:
  This paper reports on an open-ended Contingent Valuation Method study of
 the conservation benefits of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) in
 Scotland. The ESA scheme is a central component of agri-environmental
 policy in the UK, and an interesting policy question concerns the extent
 of non-market benefits generated by such ESAs. The econometric issues we
 raise in this paper revolve around bid curves. Bid curves are estimated in
 open-ended Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) studies for three reasons.
 These are: (1) as a test of theoretical validity; (2) as a test of
 discriminant validity; and (3) as a means of benefits transfer. Within the
 first and last of these aims, the partial relationship between willingness
 to pay (WTP) and independent variables such as income is of interest.
 There are several econometric issues involved in estimating such
 relationships, First, the selection process implicit in obtaining positive
 WTP bids should be explicitly modelled. Second, many CVM surveys suffer
 from item non-response with respect to 'sensitive' questions such as the
 respondent's income; these non-responses may be non-random in nature.
 Finally, it is possible to dis-aggregate the effect of marginal changes
 in, say, income on WTP into two elements, namely: an effect on the
 probability that the individual will be willing to pay something; and
 secondly, an effect on how much they are willing to pay.

Title: Sustainable Development and Structure Plans in England and Wales: Operationalizing the Themes and Principles 
Abstract:
  This paper explores attempts to operationalize some themes and principles
 of sustainable developmentin five UK structure plans which performed best
 in an overview of current practice (Counsell, 1998). Following a summary
 of literature, the approaches to sustainable development in the five
 plans-Avon, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, and West Sussex-are
 described. The plans are then used to explore the operationalization of a
 range of resource protection (environmental capacity, environmental
 capital and the precautionary principle) and socio-economic (social
 equity, policy integration and participation) themes. It is concluded that
 the planning system probably provides greater scope for accommodating the
 resource protection than the socio-economic themes, which are likely to
 present a considerable challenge in making sustainable development
 operational in planning.

Title: Competition, Sustainability and Packaging Policy in the UK 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the use of economic instruments in the implementation
 of environmental policy, based upon a recent study into the European Union
 Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC). It explores the
 introduction of competitionbased models in the UK implementation of the
 Directive, and assesses their ability to achieve positive
 environmentaloutcomes in a cost-efficient manner. Several problems for the
 competition model are discussed, particularly the fear of profiteering
 within marketbased systems by some economic operators; the behaviour of
 economic operators towards non-profitable market segments; the ability of
 free-market models to engender public participation in recycling
 programmes; and the failure of private sector solutions to consider the
 full environmental costs of packaging. Neo-liberalist competitive models
 do not address such problems convincingly, and therefore continued
 government intervention is required if the UK is to meet its targets under
 the EU Directive. Whilst economic instruments and competition provide
 avenues for a more effective environmental policy, there is a continuing
 need for government regulation rather than unquestioning faith in the
 benefits of the free market.

Title: Development and Implementation of Strategic Frameworks for Air Quality Management in the UK and the European Community 
Abstract:
  The UK and the EC have recognized that the application of national and EC
 policies alone may not be cost effective in improving air quality in some
 areas, especially in traffic-congested urban centres and along major road
 transport corridors. Consequently both have introduced new strategic
 frameworksfor air quality management.This paper outlines and compares the
 UK National Air Quality Strategy (NAQS) and the EC approach, set out in
 the Air Quality Framework and Daughter Directives. Both frameworks shift
 responsibility for reviewing, assessing and managing air quality on to
 local authorities. The UK considers the NAQS will provide the principal
 means of carrying out its commitments under the new EC framework.Local
 authorities in the UK have begun the review and assessment phase of the
 NAQS. This paper examines the support that central government has had to
 provide to local authorities to ensure the NAQS will be effective. It
 offers insights into what other Member States are likely to face when
 implementing their interpretation of the EC air quality management
 framework. The paper highlights that many UK local authorities lacked even
 basic air quality management capabilities when the NAQS was being
 formulated. Consequently the UK Government has had to expand the national
 pollution monitoring networks (this was achieved primarily by affiliating
 the growing number of local authority funded sites), commission new
 detailed urban emissions inventories, and develop and validate a suite of
 air quality dispersion models. Training events in air quality assessment
 techniques have had to be offered and many detailed guidance notes issued
 to ensure an appropriate and consistent interpretation of the NAQS. Some
 government initiatives to support the implementation of the NAQS suffered
 delays which initially caused some unnecessary uncertainties and
 inconsistencies amongst local authorities conducting their review and
 assessment of air quality. This points to the importance of the
 Governmentensuring that the support for the management phase of the NAQS
 will be in place in time. This includes providing additional
 pollution-control powers and reformulating transport and planning policies
 in order to integrate air quality management more fully.

Title: Contingent Valuation and Real Economic Commitments: Evidence from Electric Utility Green Pricing Programmes 
Abstract:
  This paper presents the findings of two 'green pricing' studies conducted
 to evaluate public support of utilities' investments in renewable energy
 technologies. These studies compared hypothetical WTP statements with
 actual payment commitments. The results of these studies indicate that the
 CVM can be an accurate indicator of an individual's WTP, but that it is an
 unreliable predictor of which individuals will actually pay. This has
 important implications for aggregating mean WTP estimates of the value of
 environmental benefits. It also suggests that market simulations can be
 useful for predicting programme participation rates when voluntary
 donations are used as a payment vehicle.

Title: The Integration of Environmental Sustainability Considerations into EU Development Policy: A Case Study of the LEADER Initiative in the West of Ireland 
Abstract:
  In peripheral parts of Europe such as the West of Ireland, where
 environment-development tensions may be particularly sensitive,
 environmental sustainability principles need to be integrated into all
 policy and programme areas, as the Fifth Environmental Action programme
 requires. This paper examines the small but significant LEADER rural
 development initiative to assess how much its operation integrates
 sustainability considerations. While LEADER-supported projects are often
 environmentally benign, there is little evidence of proactive application
 in LEADER group strategies of sustainability criteria which are other than
 weak. Economic imperatives dominate LEADER programmes, and many actors are
 sanguine about potential environmental problems arising from development.

Title: The Consideration of Sustainability Aspects in Transport Infrastructure Related Policies, Plans and Programmes: A Comparative Analysis of North West England, Noord-Holland and Brandenburg-Berlin 
Abstract:
  This paper is based on research conducted in 1997 and 1998 at the EIA
 Centre, University of Manchester. It examines the extent to which
 transport infrastructure related policies, plans and programmes (PPPs) in
 the three EU regions of North West England, the provincie
 (administrativeregion) of Noord-Hollandand the engerer Verflechtungsraum
 (EVR, planning region) of Brandenburg-Berlinconsider (environmental)
 sustainability issues in the form of objectives, targets and related
 options/measures for action. Furthermore, the role strategic environmental
 assessment (SEA) appears to play in this context is elaborated. The
 analytical framework for comparison is based on the sustainable
 development strategy of the European Commission, the Fifth Action
 Programme (Commission of the European Communities, 1993).

Title: Environmental Management in India: Recent Challenges to the Indian Forest Service 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the impact of various social, economic and political
 changes on the work of the Indian Forest Service, the elite organization
 concerned with environmental management in India. It is noted that whilst
 many leading authors criticize this organization, nobody has taken the
 time to analyse the role of the Indian Forest Service and the way it has
 responded to the many challenges it has faced in the last 20 years. This
 paper seeks to rectify this by focusing on three key challenges: (1) due
 to economic liberalization the actual work that the forest officer is
 expected to undertake has changed beyond recognition; (2) political
 manipulation and correspondingly accusations of corruption have increased;
 (3) social changes and their impact on recruitment into the Indian Forest
 Service. It is concluded that, despite the many challenges which the
 Indian Forest Service has faced over the years, it is remarkably resilient
 and remains the most powerful agent in rural India.

Title: Environmental and Strategic Uncertainty in Common Property Management: The Case of Scottish Red Deer 
Abstract:
  The range of red deer populations in the Scottish Highlands can cover
 several different landholdings (estates), many of which derive their
 income primarily from the private hunting (stalking) of stags. The deer
 belong to nobody and their seasonal movement does not respect the
 boundaries of individual estates, but a 'rule of capture' does apply as,
 once shot, the deer become the property of the estate owner. This paper
 argues that deer populations would best be managed as a common property
 resource. Indeed, for this reason, the Deer Commission for Scotland has
 encouraged owners to form Deer Management Groups. These groups are now
 able to utilize a computer program that models the relationship between
 grazing quality and population dynamics. However, drawing upon examples
 from the Western Highlands, the paper finds that common property
 management must overcome incentives to behave strategically that arise
 from the characteristics of flow and storage of the resource. The problem
 is aggravated by the degradation of the habitat that has occurred over
 centuries. This often means that the resource is below its optimum in
 terms of stag numbers and quality. Scientific models are an important
 contribution, but only reduce the environmental uncertainty. Their full
 potential can only be realized if all landowners are obliged to actively
 engage in common property management.

Title: Reforming the National Framework for Environmental Policies in Saudi Arabia 
Abstract:
  The current framework for national environmental policies in Saudi Arabia
 suffers from overlapping authority, a slow decision-making process, gaps
 in legislation and implementation difficulties. The paper gives a brief
 assessment of the existing framework including: political culture;
 environmental decision making process; environmental institutions; and
 environmental awareness. This is followed by a proposal for reforming the
 current framework.The proposalcovers four main sectors: political culture
 and the public role; environmental decision making; environmental policies
 and laws; and institutional structure.

Title: A Decision Support Framework for Environmental Planning in Developing Countries 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a decision support framework for environmental
 planning in developing countries. The interest in protecting the natural
 environment from pollution gained increased importance in the 1990s with a
 push by world communities for sustainable development. Developing
 countries as well as the industrialized nations are expected to cut down
 on pollution and control the use of non-renewable natural resources.
 Although the concept of sustainable development sounds plausible, it is
 difficult to implement in many countries due to their conflicting goals.
 The world-wide targets on emissions, use of fossil fuels, reduction in
 water and atmospheric pollution require the participation of every nation.
 These goals are not easily achievable by some of the poorer developing
 countries partly because of their economic dependence on natural resources
 and partly because of their inability to afford more modern and efficient
 technologies. Thus, environmental planning goals are often in conflict
 with the development,social and economic needs of a country. In this
 paper, we develop a decision support framework that utilizes multicriteria
 and optimization models to address environmental planning problems. This
 framework is based on identifying the priorities of conflicting goals by
 working through and reducing the conflicts. A strategic planning framework
 is introduced into the decision support system since national planning is
 a strategic issue and these goals can only be achieved by adopting a
 systemic view.

Title: Pathways Towards Sustainability: The Australian Approach 
Abstract:
  Following its rise to international prominence, sustainability has become
 an official principle or goal in many countries. Due to contextual
 differences, countries have followed different paths in the pursuit of
 sustainability. Approachescan be classified into three categories: green
 planning; institutional reform; and social mobilization. None of these
 courses on its own is likely to achieve sustainability. Yet, countries
 often appear to develop a path dominated by one of these approaches. This
 paper focuses on Australia, sketches the extent to which green planning,
 institutional reform and social mobilization have been playing a role in
 the pursuit of sustainability, and illustrates the difficulties of
 developing a pathway that combines these approaches.

Title: Sustainable Development and Institutional Design: The Example of the Mersey Basin Campaign 
Abstract:
  The Mersey Basin Campaign was established in 1985 in the North West of
 England to address continuing problems of water quality and associated
 landward dereliction of the River Mersey and its tributaries. The
 Campaign's premise that water quality should be improved both for its own
 sake and as a stimulus to regeneration has proved to be well founded and
 has subsequently been extended to embrace community action to help nurture
 watercourse improvement and care. The Campaign can now be seen as a model
 for engaging co-ordinated environmental action through a partnership
 approach. This paper explores the nature of the Mersey Basin Campaign as
 an example of the new structures which are being developed in order to
 help deliver the new environmentalpolicy agenda. It is argued that the
 Campaign stands as a model for what will become an increasing need to
 develop focused environmental planning and management at the sub-regional
 and regional scales.

Title: Environmental Impact Assessment Regulation in Hong Kong and Shanghai: A Cross-city Analysis 
Abstract:
  Cross-city analysis in environmental regulation within non-democratic
 political systems is a neglected area. Taking policy convergence and
 styles of regulation as the focus, this paper has taken an initial step to
 compare the environmental impact assessment (EIA) regulation in Hong Kong
 and Shanghai. In this comparative exercise, it is identified that policy
 convergence occurs more explicitly in policy ideology and policy
 consequences, whereas divergence takes place in policy content, regulatory
 process and public consultation. Convergence, however, is only superficial
 whereas divergence is substantial. Indeed EIA systems of these two
 jurisdictions have displayed contrasting styles of regulation. The formal
 EIA system in Shanghai is dominated by the environmental agency, which
 regulates informal politics in the EIA process within a legal format. The
 informal EIA system in Hong Kong is co-ordinated by the environmental
 agency, which seeks active co-operation with the clients in a consultative
 EIA process in an informal and discretionary manner. What makes the Hong
 Kong system superior to the Shanghai system is the existence of
 institutional channels for public consultation. Within a non-democratic
 political setting, the EIA process in Hong Kong is more transparent and
 the EIA system is more accountable to the public, whereas the EIA process
 in Shanghai is lacking in transparency and the EIA system is under tight
 bureaucratic control.

Title: Local Authority Archaeological Services in Scotland Two Years after Local Government Reorganization 
Abstract:
  We report a survey of the state of local authority archaeological
 services in Scotland following local government reorganization. Several
 service provision models are in place, including a new model of joint
 provision by councils of the former Strathclyde Region. Several councils
 which lacked a service before reorganization now buy it in from
 neighbouring councils. Some gaps in cover however persist. There are good
 reasons for the variety of models, and it would not be appropriate to seek
 to impose a single model. Planning guidance issued in 1994 has shifted the
 balance of service provision towards development control and away from
 other functions, as resources are squeezed. The implications of the
 Scottish Parliament are considered.

Title: Policy And Practice Collective Response to Oil Spill Hazards in the Eastern Niger Delta of Nigeria 
Abstract:
  This paper outlines the main elements of a comprehensive, territorial,
 hazard amelioration strategy for the oil spill pollution areas of the
 Eastern Niger Delta of Nigeria. After documenting the extent and type of
 damage, an argument is presented in favour of urgent action and the need
 for planning. It is argued that present oil spill pollution laws are
 coercive and militant and do not encourage communities in the Eastern
 Niger Delta to act as pressure groups for a clean environment. The paper
 posits that environmental damages resulting from oil spills can be
 minimized through co-operative action between and amongst
 stakeholders-government,oil companies and community representatives. The
 paper therefore calls for a collective response.

Title: The Prospects for Improved Energy Efficiency in the UK Residential Sector 
Abstract:
  The perceived threat of climate change has become an important global
 issue of the 1990s, with measures to limit its ramifications now commonly
 linked to mainstream policy agendas. Reducing carbon intensity can be
 achieved through both supply and end-use energy strategies, though
 improvements in end-use efficiency are said to offer the best
 opportunities both in terms of effective investment and producing results
 in the short to medium term. UK policy makers have stressed that energy
 use in the home is a pressing area to be addressed. This paper reviews the
 myriad of efficiency options available, assessing the effectiveness of
 national and supra-national strategies in encouraging technical efficiency
 and stimulating beneficial behaviourial changes. Findings indicate that
 the range of (and commitment to) current efficiency measures, reinforced
 by a lack of policy coherence, ensures that future prospects remain
 ambiguous. Initiatives, though conceived at a variety of spatial scales,
 tend to be implemented at a localized level and it is the actions (and
 interactions) of local actors that may well determine the shape and
 success of sustainability measures.

Title: Benefits Transfer and Low Flow Alleviation: What Lessons for Environmental Valuation in the UK? 
Abstract:
  Use of environmental valuation and benefits transfer in a recent legal
 ruling in the UK between Thames Water Utilities and the Environment Agency
 over water abstraction costs appeared to set an unfortunate precedent. In
 the first attempt to fulfil its statutory duties, the Agency was thwarted
 in its use and interpretation of non-market valuation techniques, in
 particular, the vexed issue of how to aggregate the results of valuation
 studies in original sites or those to where values might be transferred.
 The ruling has broader implications for water pricing and resource
 development by the industry. Far from being a blow for either cost-benefit
 analysis or environmental valuation, the decision highlights some of the
 research imperatives for the derivation of non-market values by economists
 and their translation for use in government decisions.

Title: Community-based Organizations and Neighbourhood Environmental Problem Solving: A Framework for Adoption of Information Technologies 
Abstract:
  Community-based organizations (CBOs) today seek improved capacity to
 address environmental problems in urban neighbourhoods. Many seek access
 to information technologies such as the Internet and Geographic
 Information Systems (GIS) to expand information about their
 neighbourhood's environmental quality to support their planning and
 service efforts. Experience with the Internet has been bolstered somewhat
 by programmesto create community networks. This experience and experience
 with GIS in planning at the municipal and state levels reveals a set of
 technical, organizational and personal prerequisites that bolster
 successful and effective adoption of information technologies. This paper
 reviews these prerequisites as they pertain to CBOs and makes
 recommendations for transactions that could enhance CBO adoption of the
 Internet and GIS to address environmental problems in urban
 neighbourhoods. The paper concludes that a constellation of prerequisite
 conditions, most predominantly data availability problems, staff skill
 acquisition and staff retention problems, offer the greatest challenges
 for CBOs seeking to adopt information technologies to manage environmental
 problems more effectively.

Title: Networks, Agency and (De)stabilization: The Issue of Navigation on the River Wye, UK 
Abstract:
  This paper assesses the way in which an actor network presiding over the
 management of the River Wye has stabilized through accepting a particular
 view on the issue of navigation. The paper provides an account of how the
 network was challenged by a dissonant actor who, through reviving an old
 company, developed a counter network. It is argued that network
 stabilization is a form of consensus-building and it is contended that the
 way in which an issue is defined is crucial in terms of the successful
 enrolment of actors. The paper illustrates some of the conflicts and
 complexities encountered in resource planning, suggesting that research of
 this nature should trace actors back through time as well as through space
 if dynamics between actors involved in rural planning and management are
 to be effectively understood.

Title: Indirect and Avoided Environmental Consequences in Project Evaluation 
Abstract:
  The paper focuses on indirect environmental consequences, namely the
 environmental consequences of the production of project inputs. In
 addition, we introduce the term 'avoided environmental consequences', i.e.
 the environmental consequences associated with diversion of production
 factors from alternative use. The former are always relevant, while the
 avoided consequences are only relevant in cases involving fully-employed
 production factors that would otherwise be used in production. The
 inclusion of indirect and avoided environmental consequences may
 considerably affect the outcome of traditional project evaluation. In this
 paper it is suggested how the indirect and avoided environmental
 consequences may be described using the input-output system in combination
 with environmental coefficients.

Title: From Siting Principles to Siting Practices: A Case Study of Discord among Trust, Equity and Community Participation 
Abstract:
  This paper contributes to the noxious facilities siting literature by
 exploring some implications of adhering to some recommended principles and
 practices for competent siting. Through a qualitative case study of a
 landfill siting process in Peel (Ontario, Canada) three principles are
 critically assessed: trust; equity; and community participation. While
 laudable notions in principle, in practice they can impact each other in
 important ways which can (potentially) undermine the siting process. These
 impacts result mainly from the failure to achieve meaningful goals
 associated with one principle (e.g. community participation) which can
 exacerbate problems achieving goals associated with other principles (e.g.
 trust). The resulting discord can be further aggravated by the snowballing
 of adverse effects over time. In particular, practices for achieving trust
 and equity were adversely linked, as were the relationships between
 spatial equity and procedural equity and interregional and intraregional
 equity. These adverse synergisms were linked together with ineffective
 community participation which brought the process to a halt. Siting
 inertia (a process momentum difficult to redirect) and an inflexible
 siting context contributed to these conflicts. Implications for siting and
 further research are discussed.

Title: How Stable are Public Responses to Changing Local Environments? A 'Before' and 'After' Case Study of River Restoration 
Abstract:
  This paper considers the stability of public responses to an urban river
 restoration scheme on the River Skerne, Darlington, UK, by comparing the
 results from surveys of local residents carried out before and after
 scheme implementation. This case study provides evidence of strong and
 generally consistent positive responses to the proposals and implemented
 scheme to return the straightened and channelized river to a more natural
 condition although support was more qualified after than before
 implementation. Although the scheme design and construction costs were
 high, nearly two-thirds regarded the scheme as value for money.
 Exploratory contingent valuation results on whether or not local residents
 were prepared to pay for the scheme were broadly stable over the two
 surveys.

Title: An Assessment of the Economic Effectiveness of Recreation Policy Using Contingent Valuation 
Abstract:
  Arrangements within the UK to enhance recreation opportunities in the
 countryside are currently implemented in a somewhat ad hoc manner. This
 paper analyses the economic effectiveness of such provision in Grampian
 Region, Scotland. This is achieved by quantifying, using the contingent
 valuation method, the economic benefits accruing from recreation
 enhancements and comparing these benefits with the level of expenditure
 currently being undertaken on these improvements. The subsequent analysis
 provides a strategic framework for the assessment of recreation needs in
 the region, thus enabling future priorities for provision to be
 identified. It is argued that the quantification of public preferences for
 recreation enhancements provides a powerful tool to aid strategic planning
 of recreation provision. The issue of using public funds to finance
 recreation facilities in the countryside is also discussed.

Title: Urban Waterfront Regeneration in the Mersey Basin, North West England 
Abstract:
  The economic decline of traditional dockland areas has released
 considerable areas of land for redevelopment, much of which is close to
 the heart of city centres. The property development industry has
 capitalized upon these assets to the extent that port-related
 redevelopmentis a common feature throughout North America and Europe. This
 paper explores the experience of the Mersey Basin in North West England
 which, under the Mersey Basin Campaign initiative, has sought to
 explicitly connect improvements in water quality to economic regeneration.
 A small survey of commercial property valuers was used to explore this
 relationship and revealed the importance of water in the property
 development process, through potential increases in value and an
 enhancement of the marketability of property adjacent to water. Equally,
 improved water quality is revealed as an important precursor to waterside
 economic regeneration. Here, investment must, as with the preparation of
 derelict and contaminated land for redevelopment, be regarded as a public
 good, nurturing good water quality as an asset for the benefit of future
 generations and as a part of realizing the full potential of waterfront
 regeneration.

Title: Capacity for Environmental Action in Slovakia 
Abstract:
  Capacity for environmental protection is important in developed and
 transitional countries, but the latter sometimes present a paradox where
 capacity has been created at the same time as public pressure and
 awareness has diminished. Slovakia presents a particular paradox, as its
 new democratic institutions have proved especially fragile. This paper
 adopts a framework developed by Janicke and Weidner in crossnational
 studies which implies that the use made of environmental capacity is a
 function of institutional, informational and structural conditions. By
 analysing the key features of the Slovakian environmental policy process
 in the context of these conditions, the paper confirms the utility of the
 model, and points to the prospects for future policy implementation.

Title: The Problem of Common Land: Towards Stakeholder Governance 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the current governance of common land with the
 intention of updating a story last examined in detail in studies in the
 late 1980s. In addition, the paper draws on recent conceptualizations of
 stakeholders and governance. A brief history of common land shows that
 governance systems are highly localized and dependent on custom and
 practice. Such a dependence suggests the need for governance which is
 based on the incorporation of stakeholders using consensus building
 approaches. The paper suggests that local governance systems are crucial
 to the successful implementation of sustainable management practices but
 that this may be overlooked by land managers and policy makers.
 Consequently, comprehensive national legislation for common land is not a
 viable option but legislation can play a valuable role in particular
 circumstances. The need to give further consideration to the role of
 legislation and an appropriate policy framework for commons within the
 context of stakeholder governance is particularly important given the
 significance of common land for agriculture, nature conservation,
 landscape, heritage and recreation across England and Wales.

Title: The Environment and Postmodern Spatial Consciousness: A Sociology of Urban Environmental Agendas 
Abstract:
  Planning generally views the environment as an objectively definable set
 of natural resource systems and relies on the natural sciences to reveal
 and describe its problems, such as pollution, loss of biodiversity, energy
 consumption or waste disposal. But why do the mass of people with little
 scientific knowledge or interest in the environment as a 'big issue'
 accept and even contentiously push forward planning's environmental
 agenda? This paper explores the sociological basis of environmental
 concern. It argues that the social dilemmas arising from the contemporary
 experience of space are drawn towards the environment and that it is this
 non-ecological, non-expert field of preoccupations which both legitimizes
 the environmental turn of contemporary planning and provides the real
 impetus behind environmental issues.

Title: Networks of Co-operation and Knowledge in 'Wider Countryside' Planning 
Abstract:
  Approaches to biodiversity and catchment planning increasingly recognize
 the importance of the 'wider countryside' rather than the more
 site-specific focus of traditional environmental management programmes.
 Biodiversity depends on the viability of ecosystems across the whole
 countryside, and not only in designated reserves; equally, the quantity
 and quality of inland waters reflect overall conditions within river
 catchments, as well as the hydrological conditions of specific river
 channels. However, planning of these wider areas involves partnerships and
 agreements between a range of actors, which generally must be negotiated
 on a consensual basis and are vulnerable to subsequent dissent. This paper
 examines the actor-networks which have arisen in some innovative examples
 of 'wider countryside' planning and assesses their durability and
 contribution to the attainment of environmental objectives.

Title: Post-development Auditing of EIA Predictive Techniques: A Spatial Analytical Approach 
Abstract:
  Despite widespread recognition that post-development auditing has the
 potential to provide feedback which could improve future Environmental
 Impact Assessment (EIA), there remains a paucity of research which relates
 specifically to the evaluation of EIA predictive techniques, with even
 less progress in the development of audit methodologies. This paper
 describes a spatial analytical approach to post-development auditing that
 focuses upon the identification and analysis of the residual errors
 between the impacts predicted at a site using a particular predictive
 method and the actual impacts found to occur through monitoring. For three
 case studies, relevant impact predictions are tested (to determine the
 residual errors) and statistical models of the errors are developed in
 order to explore factors which may explain the performance of the
 predictive technique. The paper then considers the broader lessons and
 limitations that can be drawn out from the research both for auditing and
 EIA practice, including feedback on predictive techniques, the potential
 role of scoping decisions in generating errors in impact prediction, and
 the implications of uncertainty over future baseline conditions for
 auditing and impact prediction/interpretation.

Title: Planning for Nature Conservation: The Role and Performance of English District Local Authorities in the 1990s 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the performance of district local authorities in
 their delivery of nature conservation in the 1990s, both through the land
 use planning system and in their wider operational functions. Studies
 conducted in the 1980s revealed a large gap in performance between the
 best and the worst performers.The last decade, however, has witnessed far
 reaching changes within local government as well as external influences
 which are likely to have affected the ability of local authorities to
 promote the conservation of nature. The research shows that performance
 has significantly improved in a number of the roles which local
 authorities exercise in relation to conservation. There still remains,
 however, a marked variation between the best performers and the remainder.

Title: Development of a Commodity-by-industry Economic-Ecological Model of Water Demand in a Rural Economy 
Abstract:
  The main objective of this paper is to develop a commodity-by-industry
 economic-ecological model (CIEEM) based on data collected in a rural
 village in Nigeria and to assess its utility for measuring the implication
 of various economic activities on the demand for scarce water resources.
 Our primary concern is model construction and determination of the direct
 and total requirements of both economic commodities (inter-industry
 transactions) and ecological commodities (water, land and vegetation) used
 in the economy. Also considered is the discharge of ecological commodities
 (waste water and solid wastes) back to the environment. Results show that,
 despite sparse sectoral interdependence within the economic system, inputs
 and outputs of ecological commodities include significant indirect
 components that can only be captured in an input-output framework. The
 most intensive users of water based on the direct effects are animal
 husbandry, construction and irrigated agriculture; based on total effects
 they are catering/trading, construction and animal husbandry, in
 descending order.

Title: An Evaluation System for National Park Selection in Taiwan 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this study is to analyse the proper factors to be
 contained in an evaluation system which can then be used to assess areas
 for designating national parks in Taiwan. In the first phase of work, the
 Delphi method was used to collect expert opinions on a total of 10
 categories of evaluating factors. Six of them are used to assess the
 characteristics of a site and include diversity,
 representativeness,naturalness, rarity, fragility and suitability. The
 other four categories represent the potential for management objectives
 including conservation, research, education and other functions. This
 evaluating system will be used and examined in the second phase of our
 work.

Title: Facilitating Integrated Resource and Environmental Management: Australian and Canadian Perspectives 
Abstract:
  It is widely believed that improved resource and environmental management
 outcomes would occur if those responsible took a longer term view,
 considered whole systems rather than their components in isolation, and
 co-ordinated and integrated their activities with each other. There has
 been substantial action in many countries to achieve these ideals but with
 mixed success. Why has it not been possible to have a more co-ordinated
 and integrated approach to resource and environmental management (IREM)?
 We briefly review various conceptual issues regarding the purpose and
 character of IREM. The core of the paper is analysis of the factors
 contributing to success or failure, including the requirement that IREM,
 in practice, must be based on a careful analysis of the need and scope for
 integration in a given context, the significance of leadership,
 information access, and the links with other planning and management
 activities. Obstacles arising from these and other shortcomings, including
 the focus regarding what IREM involves, bureaucratic resistance, adverse
 financial arrangements and property rights problems, are also discussed.
 The paper concludes with five recommendations as to how to enhance
 integrated resource and environmental management dealing with need, scope
 and context, best management practice, information accessibility and
 integration, financial arrangements,and strengthening local and regional
 planning capacity.

Title: Household Valuation of Curbside Recycling 
Abstract:
  This paper looks at the willingness to pay for, and participate in, a
 curbside recycling programme based on a survey of 401 residents in Ogden,
 Utah. Modifying the Cameron & James (1987) econometric model to fit
 ordered-interval data, we estimate that the mean willingness to pay for
 curbside recycling is US $2.05 per month, and that 72% of the residents
 would willingly participate in such a programme. Furthermore, females,
 young people, college-educated, those currently recycling without monetary
 reward, those regarding recycling as beneficial to the community and
 nation, and those with relatively high incomes are willing to pay the most
 for curbside recycling.

Title: Groundwater Vulnerability, Brownfield Redevelopment and Land Use Planning 
Abstract:
  An understanding of groundwater vulnerability in urban watersheds is
 important for the prevention of both surface water and groundwater
 contamination and can therefore be a useful tool in brownfield
 redevelopment and land use planning. Although industrial activity in
 southeastern Michigan has historically been restricted to the urbanized
 sections of metropolitan Detroit, new industrial development is rapidly
 taking place in rural and undeveloped areas. Although environmentalists
 and urban planners agree that industrial site recycling in urban centres
 (a.k.a. brownfield redevelopment) is preferable to developing green areas,
 many older sites remain undeveloped due to real and perceived risks. Using
 a PC-based geographic information system, a conceptual model of solute
 transport in soil was developed to evaluate potential impacts to both
 groundwater and surface water quality resulting from industrial
 development. The model was used to create a map of groundwater
 vulnerability within the Rouge River watershed of southeastern Michigan.
 The map has been used to pin-point several rural and undeveloped areas
 where groundwater quality is threatened by proposed development. It has
 also clearly demonstrated that many older brownfield sites, within the
 City of Detroit, are located on materials that have a much lower
 vulnerability to groundwater contamination and may therefore be far less
 costly to redevelop than greenfield sites in undeveloped areas of the
 watershed.

Title: Auditing the Socio-economic Impacts of a Major Construction Project: The Case of Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station 
Abstract:
  This paper presents the findings of a post-auditing study which compares
 the actual and predicted socio-economic impacts (including traffic) of a
 major power station construction project in the UK. An attempt is made to
 determine the accuracy of the predictions presented at the public inquiry
 into the development, drawing on the results of a developer-funded
 monitoring exercise undertaken for the duration of the eight-year
 construction programme. The study found that a very high proportion of
 testable predictions prepared prior to the inquiry could be audited; of
 these, 60% were either within predicted ranges or accurate to within 20%
 of predicted values. However, one in seven predictions had errors of more
 than 50%. The study revealed no consistent bias towards either under- or
 over-estimation of impacts. The paper explores the reasons for the
 predictive errors identified in the study; these include a range of
 project-specific and more generic factors, several of which are likely to
 be applicable to other large-scale construction projects. The study is
 particularly useful in the field of EIA because it relates to several weak
 areas in current practice: the assessment of socio-economic impacts,
 construction effects, and monitoring and auditing.

Title: Urbanization and the Environment in Southern Africa: Towards a Managed Framework for the Sustainability of Cities 
Abstract:
  In sub-Saharan Africa, Southern Africa is the most urbanized region. This
 dynamic is rapidly transforming the nature of Southern African human
 settlements which, in turn, has a chain reaction of consequences from
 negative environmental impact to the need to develop policy for the
 sustainability of the region's cities. This paper examines the
 relationship between urbanization trends and environmental change in
 Southern Africa, and then advocates and discusses priority areas of a
 managed policy framework for a more constructive approach to responding to
 the challenge of the sustainability of cities in the region. The paper
 concentrates on those countries that are members of the Southern African
 Development Community (SADC).

Title: Land Use Planning and Waste Management in Scotland 
Abstract:
  This study considers the planning system in Scotland as it relates to
 waste management. It examines local, structure and waste disposal plans in
 nine areas to identify links between the two systems. Initial findings
 reveal that statutory plans have limited influence on the location of new
 waste facilities and the reasons for this are explored. The European Union
 now requires the preparation of a National Waste Strategy (NWS) based on
 the principle of the waste hierarchy. The research concludes that
 effective waste management requires a close relationship between the NWS
 and development plans.

Title: Objective Assessment of Countryside Recreation by Observation 
Abstract:
  It has been shown that strategic planning for countryside recreation may
 be based on an inadequate level of empirical information regarding
 countryside recreational activity. Questionnaire surveys provide most of
 the available data and the limitations of these are discussed. A
 methodology for investigating recreational activity is proposed and tested
 in Mid Wales using the observation of discrete areas of randomly selected
 Ordnance Survey 1 km grid squares. The results illustrate the type of
 countryside resource that is being used, the activities undertaken and the
 number of people involved. It is concluded that observation is a valuable
 tool in understanding the nature of recreation in the wider countryside.

Title: Who Plans Whose Sustainability? Alternative Roles for Planners 
Abstract:
  The paper examines alternative roles for planners in planning for
 sustainable development. First, it outlines the particular context of the
 task focusing on operational questions, critical issues and sustainable
 development planning principles. It then explores roles for planners in
 this context distinguishing broadly among technician, politician and
 hybrid planners. It evaluates broadly each role's effectiveness and
 challenges, in particular decision making and political contexts. Finally,
 it discusses, first, the implications of these roles for planning
 education and identifies the main groups of skills planning schools should
 offer. Second, it analyses briefly the implications of these roles for
 planning practice in terms of the spatial/organizational level of
 planning, time horizon, functional planning areas, political/decision
 making system and planning's position in this system.

Title: A Co-ordination Diagnostic for Improving Integrated Environmental Management 
Abstract:
  Integrated approachesto environmental management are increasingly being
 advocated in literature and practice. One of the keys to operationalizing
 the concept is stakeholder co-ordination. In this paper, the authors
 present a systematic, descriptive framework for examining co-ordination
 practice. The framework is a diagnostic tool which can be used to examine
 the range of formal and informal rules that define stakeholder
 interaction. We do not propose that any one type of arrangement is more
 effective than another, but argue that clearly specified arrangementsare a
 prerequisite for developing an effective integrated approach. The
 co-ordination diagnostic can be used to analyse co-ordination settings;
 when combined with evaluation criteria and participant knowledge, it can
 be used to develop options for improving co-ordination arrangements.

Title: Auditing the Assessment of the Environmental Impacts of Planning Projects 
Abstract:
  This paper presents the results from a post-auditing study-a comparison
 of the predictions of environmental impacts of projects made in
 environmental statements prior to developmentwith those that actually
 occurred upon or after development. The purpose of post-auditing is to
 provide an analysis of prediction performance in environmental impact
 assessment and thus to improve future practice by learning from
 experience. By means of a combination of site visits, interviews and
 document scrutiny, 865 predictions from 28 UK projects granted planning
 permission were examined. Of these, 488 (56%) were auditable, of which 383
 (79%) were deemed 'accurate' or 'nearly accurate' and 105 (21%)
 'inaccurate'. The remaining 377 (44%) predictions were not auditable, the
 main reasons being lack of data, vague or ambiguous predictions and time
 dependency.There were only six unpredicted impacts. The study reveals some
 encouraging findings, but also a number of discouraging ones, which
 indicate the need to increase both enthusiasm for, and implementationof,
 post-auditing activities. Several suggestions are made to help achieve
 these objectives.

Title: The Definition of Brownfield 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses the need for a more robust definition of the term
 'brownfield' from a multidisciplinary perspective. It examines the issues
 involved in constructing an agreed and accepted definition and its
 importance with regard to UK government policy. Current usage of the term
 'brownfield' and related terminology is reviewed. The paper proposes that:
 a brownfield site is any land or premises which has previously been used
 or developed and is not currently fully in use, although it may be
 partially occupied or utilized. It may also be vacant, derelict or
 contaminated. Therefore a brownfield site is not necessarily available for
 immediate use without intervention. Interpretation of the terminology
 incorporated with the definition is presented herein. The definition is
 subsequently evaluated with respect to the views of different stakeholder
 groups involved in the redevelopment of brownfield sites.

Title: Road Developments in the UK: An Analysis of Ecological Assessment in Environmental Impact Statements Produced between 1993 and 1997 
Abstract:
  Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has been required for certain
 proposed road developmentsin the UK since EC Directive (85/337) was
 implemented in 1988. The extent to which the requirements of the EIA
 Directive are met with respect to ecological issues has been explored in
 earlier reviews of road statements (Treweek et al., 1993) and of UK
 environmental impact statements (EISs) in general (Thompson et al., 1997).
 This paper describes the results of a further review of 40 EISs produced
 between 1993 and 1997 and also examines recent changes in the political
 context for EIA of proposed road developments,including developments in UK
 transport policy and the UK biodiversity process. The results of the
 review suggest that the ecological assessment of proposed road
 developments has improved in some respects, but also highlights the
 persistence of many shortcomings identified in earlier reviews. The
 reasons for ongoing failure to address these issues are explored. Key
 findings include a marked improvement in the extent of reference to
 consultation with statutory consultees and an increase in the proportion
 of EISs reporting the results of new ecological surveys. However, while
 potential ecological impacts were discussed in all the EISs reviewed, many
 still failed to predict the full range of potential ecological impacts.

Title: Land Use Development Planning and the Notion of Sustainable Development: Exploring Constraint and Facilitation within the English Planning System 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the English land use planning system's actual and
 potential abilities to both facilitate and constrain the advancement of
 sustainable development through the preparation of statutory development
 plans. The exploration is empirically based, focusing upon the conceptual
 and procedural issues most pertinent to the incorporation of sustainable
 development within this sector of public policy making. The findings
 reveal a lack of unified coherence in approach amongst local planning
 authorities as they struggle to translate the rhetoric of sustainable
 development into practice. One can detect, however, areas of difficulty
 and potential opportunity surfacing in the plan preparation process
 relating to issues of public participation, Local Agenda 21, environmental
 appraisal, data gathering, resources and guidance. There is also an
 indication that the institutional framework for incorporation lacks the
 facility to adopt a consistent position with regard to what one can
 consider as sustainability-orientated application principles.

  In India, as in many parts of the developing world, the dominant view has
 been that local people are causing natural resource degradation. New
 thinking in the natural resource management domain is gradually replacing
 the older views blaming local people for decline of natural resources. The
 new approach advocates decentralization of natural resource management.
 This is discussed in this paper in relation to the ongoing
 decentralization reforms in India. The centralized approach dominated
 natural resource management in India during the colonial period. The
 government after independence conveniently adopted the same approach,
 excluding local people from forests. Recent research and resistance from
 grassroot movements led to a paradigm shift towards decentralization at
 the policy level in natural resource management. It is not clear whether
 the new Joint Forest Management (JFM) policy in India is an attempt to
 institutionalize state dominance, or if it will lead to real
 decentralization. The data from several villages adjacent to the Sariska
 Tiger Reserve (STR), Rajasthan, India show that state dominance is still
 prevalent, despite constraints. The real challenge lies in providing
 flexibility within the JFM policy to adapt to local conditions in natural
 resource management.

Title: Environment and Development in a Southern European Country: Which Environmental Kuznets Curves? 
Abstract:
  Environmental policy questions have been recently tied to the fast
 evolving literature on Environmental Kuznets Curves (EKCs). The EKC thesis
 advocates the existence of a U-inverse relationship between economic
 growth and environmental quality. This paper adopts a recent view that
 EKCs should be studied using individual country experiences and looks at
 the evolution of air pollution, agricultural pollution, fisheries
 depletion and forest destruction in Greece during the last two to three
 decades. The evidence indicates that either EKCs do not exist, or Greece
 is on the rising segment of a hypothetical EKC. Greece's entrance to the
 EU, however, has helped it identify environmental externalities and
 resource depletion problems.

Title: A Framework for Understanding and Improving Environmental Decision Making 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a framework for understanding and improving public
 sector environmental decision making. Within the framework, four
 interrelated components are discussed: (1) the environmental and cultural
 context-understanding this context includes understanding what people
 consider to be environmental problems, the goals and values that they
 bring to environmental problems and decision processes, specialized and
 common knowledge about environmental problems, and the institutional
 settings within which problems are addressed; (2) planning and appraisal
 activitiesthese activities include forecasting and monitoring exercises,
 evaluations of past decisions, and decisions that processes ought to be
 launched to solve specific environmental problems; (3) decision-making
 modes-these include six typical ways of conducting an environmental
 problem-solving process, modes which, in the framework, are called
 emergency action, routine procedures, analysis-centred, elite corps,
 conflict management and collaborative learning; (4) decision actions-these
 include five generic steps that are undertaken, formally or intuitively,
 in virtually any decision-making situation: issue familiarization;
 criteria setting; option construction; option assessment; and reaching a
 decision. In the course of describing the framework, we show a
 decision-making process can be adapted to incorporate sustainability
 concerns, including fostering sustainable environmental and social
 systems, meeting obligations to future generations, and searching for
 robust and reasonable (rather than rigidly optimal) decisions. The
 framework also helps to illuminate intriguing questions regarding
 institutional responsibility, decision process complexity and paradigms
 for environmental decision making.

Title: EIA, Decision-making Theory and Screening and Scoping in UK Practice 
Abstract:
  As an aid to decision making Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is
 seen as a rational and systematic process which is often held to be
 holistic and proactive in its approach to environmental protection
 (Glasson et al., 1999). The roots of EIA are firmly located within the
 1960s' demand for a more systematic and objective approach to
 environmental decision making and hence within the rationalist model of
 decision making theory. This paper examines the key stages of the EIA
 process to assess how far EIA conforms to the rationalist model today.
 Most research in EIA decision making has focused on the project
 authorization process and not the crucial decisions made at the earlier
 stages of screening and scoping. This study examines those early stages
 within the context of UK EIA practice. From this examination the paper
 attempts to locate EIA within decision-making theory.

Title: Scale and Scope in Municipal Energy Planning in Sweden 
Abstract:
  The present course of municipal energy planning in Sweden is to focus on
 problems at the local level, adopting a systems view and targeting
 sustainability. Aims should be set so that they can be covered by
 available financial resources. The setting of goals and their realization
 demand co-operation between different municipal administrations as well as
 the involvement of others in the region. This approach is attractive from
 a rational perspective but involves the usual planning quandaries as
 illustrated by Uppsala's recent plan. The weaknesses of the present course
 include breaking down national goals into local problems, integrating
 responsibilities and weighing alternatives against one another. A general
 strength of planning appears to be its capacity to generate alternatives.
 However, this capacity depends on the order in which technological,
 economic and ecological aspects are handled. Starting by considering
 environmental aspects gives a clear direction but risks narrowing the
 number of options prematurely.

Title: A Comparison of On-site Hunters, Sportsmen and the General Public about Recreational Rates and Future Land Use Preferences for the Savannah River Site 
Abstract:
  Management of ecosystems has been improved both by our understanding of
 how ecosystems function, as well as by what people consider to be suitable
 future land uses. This is particularly true with contaminated lands where
 decisions must be made about clean-up and future land use. In this paper I
 synthesize several surveys of public recreational rates and preferences
 for future land use of the Savannah River Site (SRS), a Department of
 Energy (DoE) facility located in South Carolina. Four groups of people
 were interviewed: on-site hunters; sportsmen; local residents attending an
 event near Aiken, South Carolina; and the general public attending a
 festival in Columbia, South Carolina. The general public that engaged in
 recreational activities averaged 20 days/ year or more for hunting and
 fishing, while sportsmen averaged over 50 days/year. All four groups rated
 maintaining SRS as a National Environmental Research Park (NERP) and using
 it for recreation as the highest preferred land uses. The general public
 rated hiking and camping higher than hunting and fishing, while sportsmen
 rated hunting higher than hiking and camping. All groups rated using SRS
 for homes as the lowest, or second lowest, preferred land use. There was
 disagreement on the ratings for industrial development, with people living
 closer to the site rating it higher than the general South Carolina
 population. These data can be used by local planners and managers in
 decision making regarding clean-up levels and future land use. The
 relative unanimity of views for cleaning up DoE sites, continued use of
 the site as a NERP and increased recreational use suggests that different
 groups of people share similar preferences for future use of SRS, and
 provides a useful paradigm for considering future land use decisions at
 other DoE sites nationwide. The relatively low ranking for housing and
 factories suggests that clean-up levels could be geared to future land
 use, such as recreation, which are less stringent than residential levels.

Title: Measuring Corporate Sustainability 
Abstract:
  Although sustainable development has been interpreted primarily as a
 national (or global) goal, there is increasing discussion of the
 'sustainable city', the 'sustainable sector' and the 'sustainable
 business'. In this paper, the notion of corporate sustainability is
 explored and developed. We argue that one of the keys to understanding
 corporate sustainability is full cost accounting, that is, valuing
 pollution in corporate green accounts. Defining and measuring corporate
 sustainability is more than just an academic concern. Corporate entities
 are increasingly under pressure to demonstrate how they contribute to the
 national sustainability goals outlined by government. Hence, this paper
 seeks to provide practical advice on how businesses might adapt and
 improve current environmental accounting and reporting practice.

Title: Environmental Pollution Challenges and Associated Planning and Management Issues Facing Offshore Oil and Gas Field Development in the UK 
Abstract:
  Reducing the environmental impact of offshore operations is one of the
 most pressing challenges facing the oil and gas industry in Europe today.
 A study was conducted to review the issues by literature search, and
 consultation with stakeholders and experts. It was clear from the
 literature search that considerable research had been dedicated to:
 protecting the marine environment; achieving compliance with legislative
 controls; assessing the technical and economic feasibility of platform
 disposal options; and ecological surveying. By comparison, considerably
 less research had been carried out in other important areas such as:
 assessing the impacts wastes returned to shore for disposal; identifying
 sustainable strategies for operations; and assessing and mitigating
 against adverse impacts from atmospheric emissions. It is clear that the
 environmental regulatory regime offshore will become tougher and have an
 increasing influence on offshore oil and gas field environmental planning
 and management. Future regulatory developments include: a streamlining of
 the offshore oil and gas environmental regulatory regime; the introduction
 of the Habitats Directive into the licensing system; and the Offshore
 Combustion Installations (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Regulations
 1999. In addition, post Kyoto regulatory developments and societal concern
 over atmospheric pollution, will increasingly focus efforts on reducing
 the emission of global warming gases. These changes, coupled with the
 uncertainty over how resilient the environment is to perturbation, present
 a need to clearly manage environmental information.

Title: Policy And Practice The Ecological Values of Traditional Land Use in Low-lying Coastal Environments: The Example of the Aiguamolls de L'Emporda, Costa Brava1 
Abstract:
  Traditional strategies of resource use in lowland coastal areas may play
 a very significant role in modern environmental management since, in many
 ways, the cultural and biological diversity peculiar to these ecoystems
 that we now wish to protect are the product of human efforts rather than
 the product of nature alone. We will illustrate this using the example of
 the so-called closes (enclosures) in the Natural Park of the Aiguamolls de
 l'Emporda (Catalonia, Spain). Closes are pasture fields surrounded by tree
 screens that remain inundated part of the year but that can be used for
 cattle grazing during the rest of the time. Because of agricultural
 modernization in the 1960s and 1970s many closes were turned into
 permanent agricultural fields. Since the creation of the Natural Park in
 1983, there has been an attempt to recover these traditional land uses
 although not without some opposition by the farming sector.

Title: The Axford Debate Revisited: A Case Study Illustrating Different Approaches to the Aggregation of Benefits Data 
Abstract:
  Recent debate following the rejection of the Environment Agency case
 regarding an application for water abstraction at Axford on the River
 Kennet has focused upon the benefits procedure employed for aggregating
 non-user benefits which underpinned the economic case put forward by the
 Agency (although this was not the reason cited by the inquiry for
 rejection of the case). Commentators have seen this case as setting an
 unfortunate precedent for the use of economic assessments in such resource
 management issues. The paper presents a number of highly tractable
 alternative methods for the aggregation of benefits estimates designed to
 address the central problems of the definition of a relevant aggregation
 population and a potential decay of values with increasing distance from a
 given valuation site. These methods are tested using data obtained from a
 national survey of non-users of a specific natural area. Results from this
 application indicate that simpler approaches such as that used at the
 Axford inquiry may result in aggregate benefits estimates which are very
 substantially larger than those produced by our proposed alternative
 approaches to aggregation.

Title: From Spatial to Local: The Impact of the European Union on Local Authority Planning in the UK 
Abstract:
  In 1998 the Minister for the Regions, Regeneration and Planning issued a
 statement which argued that the European context for planning had been
 largely missing from the planning system in England. This paper explores
 the impact of European Union (EU) membership on the practice of local
 authority planning in the UK. The research was based on nine local
 planning authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. The results indicate
 that EU membership has exerted a direct and indirect influence on planning
 at the local level. A classification of EU influences on local planning
 activities is developed. The research also indicates that the scope and
 structure of the UK planning system are being influenced by EU membership.
 There is considerable emphasis on the role of planning as a tool for
 sustainable development, and the development of environmental quality
 standards, coupled with existing policies in the sphere of nature
 conservation, present a challenge to the traditional approach of the UK
 planning system of balancing all material considerations.

Title: The Impact of a Change in Collection Frequency on Kerbside Recycling Behaviours 
Abstract:
  The research monitors the changes in recycling performance indicators
 arising from halving the collection frequency of a kerbside newspaper
 collection scheme. The changes in the performance parameters are explained
 in terms of the underlying behavioural changes that could have occurred
 within the community. This interpretation is aided by a computer
 simulation of the kerbside recycling activity of the community. Moving
 from a 2-week collection to a 4-week collection did not substantially
 affect the number of households recycling, nor the overall weights
 collected. A small weight loss, however, may have occurred, from a small
 minority of households, unable to accommodate the extra storage demand of
 the new regime. Model predictions were consistent with the observed
 performance data. It is postulated that the scheme could withstand
 considerable intervention before significant behavioural changes are
 induced. It demonstrates that cost-cutting interventions can be undertaken
 without significantly compromising individual participations. The
 case-study also highlights the caution needed in the interpretation of the
 recycling performance indicators themselves.

Title: The Potential for Using Life Cycle Inventory Analysis in Local Authority Waste Management Decision Making 
Abstract:
  A life cycle inventory model was applied to a range of waste management
 scenarios in the waste collection authorities of Gloucestershire. The life
 cycle model and the results of modelling different waste management
 options are described. Model results were submitted to waste managers in
 the six authorities and utilization of the information was analysed.
 Analysis suggests that a range of factors arising from both model
 implementation and the local policy context affects the form and extent of
 utilization. Increased levels of environmental knowledge and understanding
 will be required to make effective use of life cycle analysis in local
 authority decision making.

Title: Cumulative Effects Assessment on the Middle Humber: Barriers Overcome, Benefits Derived 
Abstract:
  Legislative changes under European Union Directive 97/11/EEC require
 environmental assessment to have regard to the effects resulting from
 &#x201c;cumulation with other projects&#x201d;. This is a special case of
 cumulative effects assessment (CEA). Such an assessment has been carried
 out on the Humber estuary, where the likely effects of several major
 concurrent developments were examined and assessed in a collaborative
 exercise by the developers involved, in order to obtain necessary consents
 from various authorities. Developers, statutory consultees, local
 authorities and other consenting authorities were questioned to ascertain
 satisfaction with this CEA process and to gain insight into how easily the
 approach may be applied elsewhere, as well as the value of such work in
 identifying desirable mitigation and monitoring. In this example, a number
 of theoretical barriers to CEA have been avoided or overcome; these are
 examined and the benefits of the collaborative effort are explored.

Title: The Employment and Productivity Effects of Environmental Taxation: Additional Dividends or Added Distractions? 
Abstract:
  Claims of employment and productivity gains from environmental taxation
 are examined in the context of recent policy developments which have
 extended the traditional role of economic instruments in environmental
 regulation. Although the general existence of such spin-offs cannot be
 established, the debate has clarified guidelines for designing and
 implementing specific environmentally based taxes to help deliver
 sustainable development. Recent UK tax proposals have started to draw on
 the flexibility of fiscal instruments to tackle environmental problems.
 Innovations include earmarking taxes to fund allied spatial and sectoral
 programmes, recycling revenues to provide fiscally neutral improvements in
 tax efficiency and using taxation to help promote eco-efficiency.

Title: Factors Determining the Post-consumer Waste Recycling Burden 
Abstract:
  The environmental burden of collecting recoverables from households is
 generally omitted from life-cycle analyses comparing the environmental
 outcome of using secondary material from post-consumer waste (PCW) with
 virgin feedstock. However, this burden can be considerable, depending upon
 the characteristics of the collection methods employed. Given that the
 basic objective of recycling is to secure environmental benefits, it is
 vital that the burden of collection through both bring/dropoff and
 kerbside schemes is taken into account if a valid assessment of the
 environmental balance resulting from PCW recycling is to be made. This
 paper presents survey data comparing the burden of collection for
 different types of recycling provision. It describes the site and spatial
 characteristics determining the amount of transport dedicated to
 collection at bring/drop-off sites. Predictor variables are identified as
 measures of these characteristics, and the survey data compared with them.
 A regression model to assess energy use at bring/drop-off sites with
 varying characteristics is then developed. The potential uses of the
 techniques presented include the evaluation of the environmental burdens
 of recycling provision at the waste collection authority and regional
 level, allowing more informed choices to be made in the development of
 recycling provision from an environmental standpoint.

Title: Estimating the Recreation Demand and Economic Value of Mountain Biking in Moab, Utah: An Application of Count Data Models 
Abstract:
  This paper reports the results of both standard and truncated count data
 travel cost demand models for estimating demand for and the economic value
 to participants in mountain biking in the Moab, Utah, area. The empirical
 estimates for average trip demand per person per season were 2.25 and 2.53
 trips under truncated Poisson and truncated negative binomial models,
 respectively. Consumer surplus per person per trip for both models was
 approximately US $585. The total annual use value for mountain biking in
 the Moab area was US $1.33 million. This value suggests that this
 recreation has a higher value than most other activities in the area and
 that public land managers should be aware of the relative value of
 mountain biking as they make allocation decisions.

Title: Consumption Advisories and Compliance: The Fishing Public and the Deamplification of Risk 
Abstract:
  Managers and regulators have recognized that the fishing public often
 ignores fish consumption advisories, and the reasons for non-compliance
 are explored in this paper. Risk assessors acknowledge that there is a
 social amplification (intensification) of risk where the public perceive a
 risk as much more severe than do the 'experts' or scientists, and this
 social amplification is a function of the interaction of hazards with
 social, psychological and cultural processes. I propose that
 non-compliance of consumption advisories occurs because of the
 deamplification of risk in hazards that are familiar and enjoyed, such as
 fishing and fish consumption. Although the public are generally aware of
 consumption advisories, they continue to believe the fish are safe to eat,
 and a high percentage eat the fish they catch. Unlike the amplification of
 risk, the deamplification of risk from fishing in the face of consumption
 advisories is partly legitimized by the actions of some governmental
 agencies, as well as by society at large. It is suggested that a variety
 of economic benefits and social institutions lead to a discounting of
 consumption advisories, and the delayed nature of adverse health effects
 allows for additional disregard. Further, it is suggested that
 co-management of the risk from contaminated fish would increase public
 involvement, and therefore compliance.

Title: Urban and Ecological Planning in Chicago: Science, Policy and Dissent 
Abstract:
  Home to some of the tallest buildings in the world, the urban landscape
 of Chicago announces itself long before visitors can reach it. This first
 impression is presently being contradicted by the implementation of an 80
 937 ha ecological restoration in the city's greater metropolitan area.
 Using these projects as a case-study, the objective of this analysis is to
 understand the integration of environmental conservation efforts into
 urban life, exploring the viability of a model for combining urban renewal
 and environmental restoration. Controversies surrounding the Cook County
 Forest Preserve project familiarize us with some of the difficulties
 encountered in the science, policy and politics of urban ecological
 restoration projects. Though the city's urban and environmental history
 provides clues to precedents and structural opportunities for
 restorationists, it has not eliminated the doubts of those favouring
 conservation. However, the case shows that, while controversy may be a
 burden, it need not end initiatives for urban and environmental planning.
 Moreover, these controversies can be opportunities for an institutional
 learning and policy adaption process.

Title: An Evaluation of Multiple Objective Decision Support Weighting Techniques in Natural Resource Management 
Abstract:
  Multiple objective decision support (MODS) is a structured framework for
 evaluating decision alternatives against multiple, and often conflicting,
 criteria. Its ability to handle complex trade-offs in a variety of
 quantitative and qualitative units gives it much potential in the field of
 natural resource management (NRM). A key component of MODS is the process
 used to obtain information from decision makers on the relative importance
 of evaluative criteria. Ranking algorithms then use this information to
 determine the relative value of each decision alternative. This paper
 explores how practising community based NRM decision makers respond to
 five generic methods for weighting the criteria. It presents a study in
 which 55 decision makers throughout five regions in Queensland, Australia,
 applied MODS to evaluate environmental projects seeking funding under the
 Australian Natural Heritage Trust. Weighting methods applied include fixed
 point scoring, rating, ordinal ranking, a graphical method and paired
 comparisons. Decision makers evaluated each weighting method in terms of
 ease of use and of how much it helped clarify the decision problem.
 Results show that decision makers felt uncomfortable applying fixed point
 scoring and generally preferred to express their preferences through
 ordinal ranking. This has implications for the types of ranking algorithms
 that can be applied to evaluate the decision alternatives.

Title: Local Sustainable Development: Land-use Planning's Contribution to Modern Local Government 
Abstract:
  This paper assesses the contribution of land-use planning to the
 objectives of local sustainable development in some of the UK's most
 urbanized areas. Sustainable development provides the context within which
 local planning policies are now being prepared, and can be seen to be a
 potentially important aspect of central government's proposals for
 modernizing local government. Using the results from a comprehensive
 survey of development plans in metropolitan authorities, the paper
 assesses both the strengths and the weaknesses of land-use planning in
 terms of sustainable development and speculates upon the lessons they may
 offer to the government's more recent proposals on modernizing local
 government.

Title: Hypothetical and Real Economic Commitments, and Social Status, in Valuing a Species Protection Programme 
Abstract:
  There has been a long-running debate on the reliability and validity of
 the contingent valuation method, connected with the hypotheticality of the
 situation when respondents are asked to state their willingness to pay
 (WTP) for species protection (the so-called 'hypothetical bias').
 Additionally, a number of recent arguments regarding donations to good
 causes and the benefits of achieving social status have questioned the
 motives of respondents who have stated their WTP. An experiment at the
 University of Klagenfurt tested for hypothetical bias by asking
 participants to state their hypothetical and real WTP for a species
 protection programme in the Hohe Tauern national park. Hypothetical and
 real WTP differed significantly. Additionally, it emerged that the pure
 ecological motive for stating a WTP might be concealed by arguments about
 donating in order to achieve social status and contributing to a good
 cause.

Title: Policy And Practice Mercury Waste Management in Sweden: Historical Perspectives and Recent Trends 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses the development of Swedish policy for mercury waste
 management. Starting with a description of the development of the policy
 for hazardous waste management in Sweden, the paper examines the process
 which led to the parliamentary decision that mercury waste should be
 gathered and safely disposed of. Special emphasis is placed on how the
 Swedish Environmental Protection Agency deals with questions of
 uncertainties and risks connected to deep disposal, and to what extent the
 government considers that people living close to the disposal should have
 the opportunity to influence the decision process. The paper concludes
 that this policy may be hard to implement. The proposed solution may
 create new problems which concern to what extent and in what way the local
 population will trust authorities when it comes to the assertion that deep
 disposal will not constitute any risk for themselves or their local
 environment.

Title: An Empirical-Theoretical Analysis Framework for Public Participation in Environmental Impact Assessment 
Abstract:
  Public participation has been increasingly recognized as one of the most
 important aspects of environmental impact assessment. However, the
 definition of adequate evaluative criteria for public participation, with
 a strong theoretical backing, the functionality of empirical best practice
 and the consideration of the country-specific context, has remained
 elusive. The evaluative framework developed here is an attempt to fill
 this gap. Best-practice public participation is defined as consisting of
 two components: (1) legal provisions; and (2) actors' attitudes and
 capacities (towards participation). The theoretical model, defined on the
 basis of Webler's adaptation of Habermas's theory of communicative action,
 is then translated into evaluative criteria for bestpractice public
 participation.

Title: Changing the Culture of Underdevelopment and Unsustainability 
Abstract:
  Complex relationships exist between human nature and needs, cultural
 evolution and ecological dynamics. The purpose of this paper is to present
 a working hypothesis that explores how we may reverse worsening
 underdevelopment, poverty and unsustainability trends world-wide.
 Empirical evidence from cultural history and contemporary project
 experience are used to suggest a development process that combines three
 critical dimensions: ethics, productive social interaction and knowledge
 integration. Logic dictates that the process should be applied in any
 given country to mobilize investment in supplies of natural, human and
 economic capital, principally biodiversity, soil and water conservation,
 education and public health. A sociopolitical theory of underdevelopment
 is presented to suggest that unethical virtual cartels control social
 interaction, knowledge integration and resource mobilization,
 precipitating negative feedback effects on human development, ecological
 stability and, ultimately, cultural evolution. The hypothesis was
 formulated using observations over 5 years in Mexico and case-study
 experience to initiate an alternative process of water resource
 conservation.

Title: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Act 250 in Protecting Vermont Streams 
Abstract:
  Vermont's progressive land development and land use law (Act 250), now 30
 years old, provides district and state control over major developments
 through the review of environmental and planning criteria. Although it is
 comprehensive in nature, the law is applied on a case-by-case basis, which
 can make the results inconsistent. Up to now, there have been no
 significant studies of the role of Act 250 in conserving water quality
 through stream buffers. This research uses four case-studies of stream
 buffer use along Vermont streams as a step toward understanding and
 improving the role of comprehensive land use regulation in protective
 buffers. Such a study, while directly applicable to Vermont, could be
 useful to other states that are interested in improving compliance with
 existing regulations or in adopting new land use legislation.

Title: Urban Environmental Sustainability Metrics: A Provisional Set 
Abstract:
  Designing or transforming urban areas into 'sustainable cities' is
 becoming an increasingly common vision. It is, however, an unrealizable
 vision without agreement on how to determine whether a sustainable city
 vision has been fulfilled. In this paper we define a provisional set of
 urban environmental sustainability metrics, chosen to cover the spectrum
 of issues related to urban areas, and to be drawn from data that are
 customarily available. We devise a display technique to communicate
 efficiently the results of a metrics evaluation to a variety of
 stakeholders. The approach is illustrated by applying the metrics set to
 Vancouver, Canada, an urban area that has expended considerable effort
 toward achieving its own environmental vision.

Title: Reducing Air Pollution from Urban Passenger Transport: A Framework for Policy Analysis 
Abstract:
  Air quality is declining in urban areas, in part because of the rapid
 motorization of societies world-wide. To combat the problem, various
 pollution control strategies have been used or proposed for urban
 passenger transport. This paper develops a simple framework to analyse the
 impact of these strategies. The paper examines the point of impact of
 different policy levers and categorizes different instruments in a way
 that should help policy makers choose between them. The framework
 explicitly recognizes behavioural incentives, especially the fact that
 offsetting changes in consumer behaviour can often undermine the original
 intent of particular policies. The paper concludes that policies aimed at
 improving transport efficiency often improve air quality at the same time.
 However, supply side policies to relieve traffic congestion can conflict
 with the objective of controlling air pollution. It is hence vital that
 policy makers are aware of the incentives created by different
 interventions and weigh the impact of these incentives on subsidiary
 objectives before adoption of particular policies.

Title: Environmental Compensation and the Mediation of Environmental Change: Making Capital out of Cardiff Bay 
Abstract:
  The scope for compensating for environmental loss or degradation with
 some form of balancing environmental gain (such as habitat creation) has
 attracted critical attention from conservationists and policy makers.
 However, it is increasingly apparent that concentrating on technical
 skills, and adopting a linear analytical framework, disguise the range of
 social processes at work. Engaging in environmental compensation is,
 almost inevitably, a process of considerable ecological, evaluative and
 institutional transformation. Moreover, taking increasing control of this
 process through detailed management may accelerate the transformation of
 nature into 'capital'. These arguments are developed through a case-study
 of Cardiff Bay, where the implementation of habitat creation compensating
 for the loss of inter-tidal mud flats became linked to the implementation
 of the European Habitats Directive, a policy lever which served to both
 intensify and rationalize these transformations.

Title: A Process for Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on New Developments 
Abstract:
  The impacts of climate change as described by the United Nations
 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are accepted as providing the
 most probable future. A case-study describes the problems that maritime
 local authorities will need to address in the near future. These are
 classified as being part of the local authority's responsibilities either
 as the owner and manager of building assets or as the planning and
 building control authority. A process called climatic impact assessment is
 described, which all future built developments should be required to carry
 out as part of the planning process to approve the development.

Title: Ten Years On: An Empirical Analysis of UK Environmental Statement Submissions since the Implementation of Directive 85/337/EEC 
Abstract:
  Regulations to implement Directive 85/337/EEC have been in operation in
 the UK for over 10 years. Implementation of the amended Directive
 (97/11/EC) in March 1999 marked the start of a new phase in environmental
 impact assessment (EIA), and so a review of the impact of the original
 Directive upon EIA activity is timely. This paper examines the
 implementation of the Directive in the UK through an empirical analysis of
 the publication of environmental statements (ESs) between July 1988 and
 April 1998. ES submissions are analysed under Annexes I and II of the
 Directive and under the main UK regulations, and then development control
 decision outcomes are considered. The implications of selected legislation
 and policy initiatives for ES submissions are then investigated in detail
 for four types of project. The Directive has been a major force in
 stimulating the development and growth of EIA in the UK, although the
 interaction of policies and legislation (environmental and otherwise) can
 exert an important influence upon trends in ES submissions.

Title: Economic Valuation of the Non-use Attributes of a Wetland: A Case-study for Lake Kerkini 
Abstract:
  Wetlands are an environmental feature which deliver a variety of market
 and non-market goods and services. Established environmental economic
 theory separates the value of these goods and services into direct-use
 values, indirect-use values and non-use values. Given appreciation of all
 three, measurements can be derived to demonstrate the amount of public
 money that it may be feasible to allocate to the sustainable management of
 wetlands. However, in many cases, non-use values are ignored and the total
 economic value of wetlands can be severely undervalued. As a result,
 inadequate resources are fed into their management and environmental
 degradation occurs due to inappropriate commercial exploitation of the
 natural resource. Lake Kerkini, in northern Greece, is one such wetland
 area threatened by undervaluation and overexploitation for commercial
 purposes, and a resource whose management would benefit from the
 realization of non-use values. This study therefore uses the contingent
 valuation method to place a value on the non-use attributes of Lake
 Kerkini. It also examines the relationship between the revealed non-use
 values and the distance people live from the lake, highlights the personal
 characteristics which appear important in determining total willingness to
 pay and breaks total non-use value down into its component parts to
 suggest the most important non-use elements. The paper concludes that
 sustainable management of the lake is justified and provides evidence that
 substantial public monies are potentially available to protect and enhance
 the environmental value of the resource.

Title: Evaluating Environmental Public Participation: Methodological Questions 
Abstract:
  Increasingly, environmental agencies are engaged in public participation
 activities. Unfortunately, the limited evaluation of public participation
 programmes also makes improvement of such programmes more difficult. To
 encourage further thinking about the evaluation of environmental public
 participation programmes, this article discusses some of the basic issues
 raised by evaluators of social programmes (e.g. unemployment and housing,
 etc.) that have served as methodological proving grounds for evaluation.
 These issues include why evaluate and what and how to evaluate, as well as
 questions concerning the role of evaluators. To illustrate ways in which
 evaluators of environmental public participation programmes have grappled
 with these issues, examples of different methodological approaches are
 included. Finally, based on this review, recommendations are made to
 improve evaluations of environmental public participation programmes, such
 as increasing evaluation aimed at making mid-course corrections, which
 includes involving participants in evaluation and assessing a variety of
 participatory goals.

Title: A Methodology for Environmental Planning in Protected Natural Areas 
Abstract:
  The primary objective of planning in protected natural areas should be
 the conservation of their inherent natural values. With this idea in mind,
 a proposal of an objective method for the environmental planning of a
 protected natural area is presented. The method used was principal
 components analysis, a multivariate analysis technique that integrates the
 natural value and the state of conservation (the degree of alteration due
 to human activity) of the main characteristics of the environment. The
 method is applied to the specific case of a protected natural area in the
 Comunidad de Madrid (Madrid Autonomous Region), Spain.

Title: The Impact of Traffic Noise on the Values of Single-family Houses 
Abstract:
  The objective of this paper is to provide an empirical analysis of the
 impact traffic noise has on the values of single-family houses. Under the
 assumption that negative externalities are capitalized into house values,
 the hedonic price method is used. Issues of asymmetric information and
 disequilibrium are discussed and tested. Furthermore, the cost-benefit
 valuation has been corrected for the existence of property tax. Noise
 pollution was found to have a substantial negative effect on housing
 values. A single-family house of SEK975 000 would sell for SEK650 000 if
 located near a road where noise is loud, equivalent to a total discount of
 30%.

Title: Environmental Management: Testing the Win-Win Model 
Abstract:
  The debate over the possibility of seeking competitive advantages through
 greener strategies versus the scarcity of such opportunities is not yet
 resolved. This study is an attempt to test the win-win model. The role of
 the variables at the core of the win-win model, such as the regulatory
 factors, environmental strategy and environmental innovativeness, was
 examined. The results validated the positive competitive and financial
 impact of progressive environmental strategies contingent upon the
 presence of favourable external and internal conditions. From purely a
 profitability standpoint, it is important to seek a balance between the
 environmental measures and market expectations. Comprehensive superiority
 in relative environmental performance will not necessarily lead to
 environmental competitive advantage.

Title: Brownfield Redevelopment versus Greenfield Development: A Private Sector Perspective on the Costs and Risks Associated with Brownfield Redevelopment in the Greater Toronto Area 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the nature of the economic costs and risks involved
 in brownfield versus greenfield redevelopment in the Greater Toronto Area
 (Ontario, Canada) from a private sector perspective, and assesses the
 potential effectiveness of different policies and programmes designed to
 attenuate associated costs and risks. Through interviews, case-studies and
 an analysis of hypothetical development scenarios, it has been found that
 the perception that brownfield redevelopment is less cost-effective and
 entails greater risks than greenfield development, on the part of the
 private sector, is true for industrial projects in the province, but not
 for residential ones, which were found to be feasible, given the
 assumptions of the present study. Furthermore, the study has found that
 the attractiveness of residential brownfield projects can increase
 considerably with minor policy changes, but that promoting industrial
 redevelopment will require a more vigorous approach that employs a variety
 of environmental policy and economic development measures.

Title: Environmental Performance Evaluation in the Water Industry of England and Wales 
Abstract:
  The appropriate means of benchmarking environmental performance within
 and between companies is a matter of considerable debate and raises issues
 such as what information to compare and the reliability and consistency of
 data. Comparing environmental performance through company environment
 reports is an approach which has been widely used but, as this paper
 shows, is difficult and has severe limitations. This paper presents a
 unique analysis, based on the UK water industry, which compares data
 reported in company environmental reports and data on the same companies
 reported through the industry regulators. In turn, this is compared with
 the environmental performance indicators proposed by two other systems,
 one advanced by the UK water industry itself. The results demonstrate the
 difficulty of specifying environmental indicators that enable meaningful
 comparison. The difficulty of comparing environmental performance in a
 sector with a comprehensive approach to, and long history of,
 environmental performance reporting presents some hard lessons for other
 sectors.

Title: A Scenario Study of Globalization Impacts on International Transport and the Environment: An Application to the Dutch Paper Industry 
Abstract:
  Globalization has severe impacts on international transport, which in
 turn affect local and global environmental issues. This study presents an
 approach to studying these relationships. It identifies four world
 scenarios based on a distinction between OECD and other countries, and
 then traces the implications of these for international transport and
 environment. The proposed method is applied to a specific
 transport-intensive sector in the Netherlands, namely the paper industry.

Title: Hierarchical Linear Models of Factors Associated with Public Participation among Residents Living near the US Army's Chemical Weapons Stockpile Sites 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this study was to investigate public involvement among
 residents living near the US Army's eight Chemical Weapons Stockpile
 sites. A cross-sectional study was conducted across 10 states. Primary
 data were obtained through a random digit dialling population survey. The
 study sample consisted of 8315 residents living within emergency response
 zones surrounding the US Army's Chemical Weapons Stockpile sites. Three
 research questions were investigated: (1) to what extent respondents
 participated in specific civic activities, and to what extent respondents
 intended to participate in site-related decisions; (2) to what extent
 psychological, social, economic and programmatic factors influenced a
 respondent's civic participation or personal intent to participate; and
 (3) to what extent a respondent's civic participation or personal intent
 to participate were individually or contextually determined. Residents in
 this sample exhibited moderately high levels of civic participation.
 Overall, residents across the sites did not differ greatly with respect to
 either civic participation or the intent to participate. Civic
 participation was primarily associated with educational attainment and
 family size. The intent to participate was primarily associated with the
 following individual variables: perceived technological attributes;
 perceived risk; perceived impact; perceptions towards public outreach;
 educational attainment; and gender. In terms of community variables, the
 intent to participate was also indirectly associated with the number of
 activist groups.

Title: Voluntary Environmental Agreements: Evolution and Definition of a New Environmental Policy Approach 
Abstract:
  Voluntary environmental agreements (VEAs) are agreements among the
 corporate, government and/or non-profit sectors not required by
 legislation that aim to improve environmental quality or natural resource
 utilization. VEAs represent a new environmental policy approach and have
 experienced recent growth in many countries and regions, such as the USA
 and the European Union. These agreements are diversified and incorporate
 various kinds of objectives, incentives and procedures. This paper
 analyses the main characteristics of VEAs, introduces a definition that
 identifies the main characteristics of these agreements, examines their
 evolution, analyses (through a classification scheme) current adoption
 trends, identifies some important links between VEAs and the environmental
 regulatory framework and makes suggestions for future research.

Title: Forest, Plantation Crops or Small-scale Agriculture? An Economic Analysis of Alternative Land Use Options in the Mount Cameroon Area 
Abstract:
  This paper presents the key findings of a study, funded by the Department
 for International Development of the UK, into the economic costs and
 benefits of alternative land use options in forested lowland of the Mount
 Cameroon region. Detailed analysis of the total economic value of
 sustainable forest use, small-scale agriculture and plantation agriculture
 is undertaken using rich sources of primary data. These values are then
 examined in terms of local, national and international beneficiaries, to
 see 'who gets what' from alternative land uses. This helps to explain why
 local people face incentives to convert forest land.

Title: Opposition to the Designation of Protected Areas in Germany 
Abstract:
  Opposition to the establishment of nature protection areas in Germany is
 widespread and growing to the point where any designation is becoming
 increasingly difficult to implement. This paper seeks to make explicit how
 and why that opposition has arisen. It draws on two socio-psychological
 theories, namely the social identity theory and the theory of
 psychological reactance, to provide an explanation. The analysis shows
 that many motivations are involved, even for the same individuals. Popular
 resistance does appear to create group solidarities and to reinforce
 insular attitudes. These outcomes in socio-psychological behaviour in turn
 create serious misunderstandings between protagonists and antagonists. The
 paper concludes by discussing possible ways for reconciling different
 outlooks, and for reinterpreting prejudices, by introducing more reliable
 forms of effective partnerships between proponents and possible opponents.

Title: Aspects of Environmental Planning in the Antarctic 
Abstract:
  The 1998 Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty is
 a milestone for environmental planning on the continent. A overview is
 given of events in the 30 years following the Antarctic Treaty of 1959,
 before an examination of the Protocol's requirement for parties "to
 identify within a systematic environmental- geographical framework
 &#x2026; areas of outstanding aesthetic and wilderness value". It is
 concluded that the phrase 'wilderness and aesthetic value' links two
 disparate concepts, best handled by separation. Almost all of the
 Antarctic should be considered a wilderness, with the only exceptions
 being areas of permanent habitation, or areas showing permanent evidence
 of present or past human habitation. The phrase 'aesthetic value' should
 be seen as part of a wider process - landscape character assessment - a
 procedure unfamiliar to most in the Antarctic community. These approaches
 should be considered as practical routes to meet the Protocol's
 requirements.

Title: Benefits Analysis of Nitrogen Dioxide Control Programmes: A Case-study of Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 
Abstract:
  The objectives of this case-study were to apply a benefits valuation
 method to assess the economic benefits of past environmental policies
 relating to nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) in Chiyoda Ward (Chiyoda-ku), Tokyo,
 and to validate the results by comparing them with results obtained by
 other researchers. Our point estimates of the numbers of additional cases
 of respiratory illness which would have occurred had there been no NO2
 pollution control were 110 000 cases of phlegm in adults (population 35
 910) and 71 000 cases in workers (population 23 143), and 16 000 cases of
 lower respiratory illness in children aged 5-12 years (population 2812)
 during a 1-year period. Our point estimate of medical costs in adults and
 children plus the cost of lost wages for workers and working mothers was
 &#xa5;6.2 billion (US$52 million). For duration of illness and medical
 treatment costs, and certain illness occurrence rates, our estimated and
 calculated values fell within the range of values reported by other
 researchers. For lost wages among sick workers and working mothers, and
 some other rates of illness, our estimated values were higher. Overall,
 our results appear more likely to be underestimates than overestimates due
 to several unquantified benefits. Our calculations of health impacts
 avoided suggest that pollution control policies successfully prevented a
 large expense to the society in extra medical care and lost work time.

Title: Setting Strategic Environmental Goals for Air Pollution: Integrating Critical Loads into Local Environmental Planning 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the potential for local and regional governments to
 set environmental policies for air pollution deposition. National-level
 government agencies have been given responsibility for monitoring and
 modelling air pollution deposition and for setting policies to ameliorate
 the problem. Therefore local governments falsely assume that this issue is
 outside municipal control. A gap exists in the capacity for integrating
 national polices into local plans affecting air pollution deposition.
 Using Stockholm, Sweden, as a case-study, the paper demonstrates a method
 for local governments to integrate local-, national- and
 international-level air pollution deposition scenarios. A nitrogen load
 critical model was used to determine the impact of the deposition
 scenarios. The data show the complexity of potential results that can
 occur.

Title: Local Use of Economic Instruments in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Programme 
Abstract:
  As part of the general devolution of authority in many countries and
 regions to the lowest level of government, local jurisdictions are
 increasingly encumbered with the responsibility for environmental
 programmes. The issues that they have to address often pertain to land
 use. Land use cases also offer the greatest potential for further
 application of economic instruments. This paper explores the factors that
 affect the extent to which economic instruments are used at the local
 level. The Chesapeake Bay Critical Area (CBCA) initiative in Maryland
 provides a natural experiment to test these factors. Sixteen counties in
 the CBCA were faced with the same mandate, encouraged to use economic
 instruments and provided with the same information when developing their
 local critical area programmes. To assess factors that have affected the
 use of economic instruments two analyses were conducted. First, the use of
 all instruments in all countries was analysed. Second, in-depth interviews
 were conducted in a select subset of counties to gain further insight
 regarding the reasons for use or non-use of economic instruments. The
 study finds that both the attributes of the instruments and the local
 political culture affect the use of such instruments. Specifically, market
 demand and structure, and the capacity of the jurisdictions and actors in
 the local development scene, determine the potential for use of the
 various economic instruments. Actual use is mediated, however, by the
 extent to which a county has prior experience of the tool, the attitudes
 of local politicians and citizen groups toward the use of different tools
 and the way the tools are framed in the local public discourse. Overall,
 instruments that are seen as simple and providing rewards rather than
 imposing an additional burden have a greater likelihood of being
 implemented.

Title: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Deliberative Processes: Waste Management Case-studies 
Abstract:
  Public participation in decision making through the use of deliberative
 processes is now widely promoted as the means of enhancing institutional
 legitimacy, citizen influence and social responsibility and learning.
 Different methods are being tried but key questions remain about what
 works best and how practice could be improved. This paper discusses four
 examples of the application of community advisory committees and citizens'
 juries to waste strategy development by English local authorities. It
 evaluates the processes using criteria based on the concept of the fair
 and competent process, and identifies lessons for the optimum process.

Title: An Integrated Approach to Mineral Policy 
Abstract:
  Governments and industries in the natural resources sectors are beginning
 to recognize the importance of adopting a more holistic approach to
 resource management. Canada has been a global leader in the adoption of
 multi-stakeholder approaches to mineral resource policy design and
 development. As such, Canada offers a worthwhile case-study in which to
 examine the changing resource management environment of the mineral
 industry. Of particular interest here is the role that can be played by
 the federal department, Natural Resources Canada, and the Canadian mineral
 industry in fostering an integrated and sustainable strategy for the
 mineral sector. Integrated resource and environmental management offers a
 useful conceptual foundation on which to base this strategy.

Title: A System Dynamics Model of Mining Industry Investment Decisions within the Context of Environmental Policy 
Abstract:
  This paper describes a detailed computer model developed using the
 Powersim simulation program in the system dynamics tradition. The model
 comprises over 180 interrelated variables, providing a means of examining
 the effects of varied environmental, fiscal and corporate policies on the
 flow of investment funds and mineral resources between a number of
 simulated mining firms and competing countries. An outline of the system
 dynamics method is presented, followed by a high-level overview of the
 model structure. Examples of the application of the model are then
 discussed.

Title: Policy Challenges and Priorities for Internalizing the Externalities of Modern Agriculture 
Abstract:
  Agriculture is inherently multifunctional. It jointly produces more than
 food, fibre or oil, having a profound impact on many elements of economies
 and ecosystems. A comprehensive framework is used to present new data on
 annual external costs in Germany ( 1.2 billion; US$2 billion), in the UK (
 2.3 billion; US$3.8 billion) and in the USA ( 21 billion; US$34.7
 billion). These costs are equivalent to 49-208/ha (US$81-343/ha) of arable
 and grassland. Agriculture also produces positive externalities, and
 though there is no comprehensive valuation framework, the public benefits
 in the UK appear to be in the range of 10-30 (US$16-49) per household, or
 some 20-60/ha (US$32-100/ha) of arable and pasture land. These external
 costs and benefits raise important policy questions. In particular, should
 farmers receive public support for the multiple public benefits they
 produce? Should those that pollute have to pay for restoring the
 environment and human health? Policy options available for encouraging
 behavioural changes are of three types: advisory and institutional
 measures; regulatory and legal measures; and economic instruments. Three
 of the most promising options for discouraging negative externalities and
 encouraging positive ones are: (1) environmental taxes; (2) subsidy and
 incentive reform; and (3) institutional and participatory mechanisms. The
 greatest challenge, however, will be to find ways to integrate such policy
 tools into effective packages that will increase the supply of desired
 environmental and social goods whilst ensuring farmers' livelihoods remain
 sustainable.

Title: The Twists and Turns of Community Participation in Natural Resource Management in Australia: What is Missing? 
Abstract:
  Aspects of Australian natural resource management, particularly forestry,
 such as harvesting from public native forests and establishing large-scale
 plantations on farmland, have been contentious for many years. In response
 to such contention with forestry development, local communities are
 increasingly seeking a role in determining the use and management of
 forest resources. Despite a growing acceptance of the need for community
 participation, there has been little analysis of the type and extent of
 participation that is most effective, and of the costs and benefits of
 participation in natural resource management. This paper draws on
 international and Australian experiences to provide a conceptual framework
 for analysing the role of participation in natural resource management,
 especially forestry. The authors provide three examples of how community
 participation has been developed in Australia, and aim to stimulate
 discussion on the wider role of participation in natural resource
 management.

Title: Socio-cultural Factors and Land Degradation in the South Tongu District of Ghana: Some Implications for Resource Protection and Environmental Health 
Abstract:
  South Tongu District, like most districts in the savannah ecological zone
 of Ghana, is planning to counteract its rapidly deteriorating catchment,
 on which it depends as a resource base for food supply, through the
 establishment of afforestation and other conservation programmes. This
 paper argues that a good understanding of socio-cultural factors would
 help shape the formulation and subsequent implementation of conservation
 programmes. It identifies and sheds light on how some key socio-cultural
 factors (notably tenure) promote deforestation and land degradation in
 South Tongu District. It further points out some implications of
 degradation for resource protection and environmental health, which need
 to be considered when formulating a catchment management plan. It
 concludes by identifying some possible policy measures as a way forward in
 promoting sustainable catchment management in the district.

Title: Omission and Commission Errors in the Field Mapping of Linear Boundary Features: Implications for the Interpretation of Maps and Organization of Surveys 
Abstract:
  Phase 1 mapping has been used widely in the UK as a method of resource
 inventory, and as an aid to conservation management and planning. Phase 1
 maps may also provide baseline information for studies of land use change
 by future generations of landscape ecologists and historians. Contemporary
 assessments of their accuracy are essential to allow their value to be
 judged both now and decades hence. The accuracy of Phase 1 mapping of
 man-made linear boundary features was quantified by comparing maps drawn
 by six experienced field surveyors with a ground-truth version correctly
 showing all features. Overall errors within maps varied from 11.2% to
 96.9% between surveys. Most of the error was caused by the omission of
 boundaries, rather than the misclassification of boundaries whose presence
 was recorded (i.e. errors of commission). The likelihood of a boundary
 being mapped was positively related to its length, and walls were more
 likely to be mapped than fences. Linear features can be mapped accurately,
 but reliance on the discretion of the surveyors, and their interpretation
 of the survey manual, resulted in variable practice and incomplete data in
 all cases. If data on linear features are not required, the time saved
 could be used to improve the accuracy of mapping other habitats (a concern
 identified in other studies). In addition to the provision of more
 explicit guidance to surveyors, the reporting of estimates of mapping
 accuracy and precision are identified as important aspects of the survey
 technique which require greater attention than is currently the case.

Title: A Sustainable Agro-ecological Solution to Water Shortage in the North China Plain (Huabei Plain) 
Abstract:
  A highly seasonal rainfall pattern in the agriculturally productive
 region of Huabei Plain has been widely considered in China as a handicap
 to maximizing agricultural production. Enhancing this perception is the
 traditional policy of achieving provincial or regional self-sufficiency in
 grain production, which underlies China's production quotas. The Chinese
 government has decided to overcome this perceived handicap in order to
 meet the increasing water demands of urban populations and to achieving
 its grain quotas by constructing aqueducts to transport about 14 2 10 9 m
 3 of water from the Dan Jiang Reservoir into the Huabei Plain. However,
 this engineering construction solution threatens the long-term market
 competitiveness of the region by driving up the cost of water relative to
 the value of the product, by taking too long to complete and by being
 unproven in its effectiveness. This solution also threatens the existing
 ecosystem by interfering with the natural hydrology, and it risks
 exacerbating the ongoing groundwater overdrafts that are contributing to
 the formation of numerous sinkholes and ground surface cracks in the
 region, as well as to the intrusion of sea water. A more certain,
 ecologically sound solution can be found in alternative agricultural
 practices and cropping systems. Reducing the winter wheat production by a
 relatively small acreage, combined with the increased use of water-saving
 irrigation systems, can more than replace the effectively usable 10 2 10 9
 m 3 of water that the engineering construction project would transport via
 aqueducts. The recommended alternative cropping system would solve the
 water shortage problem immediately. This alternative would enable the
 government to allocate funds where they are more needed, such as to the
 clean-up of extensively polluted rivers and to ecological restoration,
 which bears on the sustainability of agriculture and food supply in China.

Title: Assessing the Cumulative Effects of Project Clusters: A Comparison of Process and Methods in Four UK Cases 
Abstract:
  Changes to the European Union's environmental impact legislation, and
 growing awareness of the need for full assessment of environmental effects
 where two or more projects come together, will lead to increasing activity
 in cumulative effects assessment. However, various issues arise which are
 not currently covered by guidance in the European Union. Four cases of
 cumulative effects assessment carried out in the UK during the 1990s are
 explored; these involve wind farms and mixed industrial developments in
 both densely populated and remote rural areas. Guidance appears to be
 needed on issues such as setting study boundaries in time and space,
 characterizing cumulative impacts, assessing impact significance and
 instituting and ensuring subsequent monitoring, evaluation and management.
 The paper examines the process followed in each of these cases, in
 comparison with a 'best practice' process recommended by the US Council on
 Environmental Quality. Three stages are considered: scoping; setting the
 environmental baseline; and determining the environmental consequences.
 The methods used in impact identification and assessment in the four cases
 are also outlined.

Title: Regional Economic Impacts of Environmental Management of Radiological Hazards: An Initial Analysis of a Complex Problem 
Abstract:
  We conducted an economic analysis of four different billion-plus dollar
 technological options for managing the salt wastes in the high-level waste
 tanks at the Savannah River nuclear weapons site (SRS) in South Carolina,
 USA. While US Department of Energy leadership is appropriately most
 concerned with health, safety and the environment, the economic
 implications of the choice cannot be dismissed. Combinations of
 technologies, where the technology is to be designed and tested, and who
 pays for it, were considered. With the caveat that the engineering designs
 are not the final versions and are therefore subject to change, we found
 that the most expensive technologies to design and build may not produce
 the most jobs or the greatest gross regional product in the SRS region
 because a great deal of the design and engineering from prototype to
 testing will not be done in the host region. Furthermore, in terms of the
 local economic impacts in the SRS region, this analysis shows that the
 policy choice regarding the method of funding the project (which budget
 the money comes from) matters as much as the selection of the remediation
 technology.

Title: A Preliminary Analysis of the Linkages between Air Quality Management and Transport Planning Policies in a Sample of English Highways Authorities 
Abstract:
  This paper considers the evolution of the local transport planning
 process and examines a sample of nine county-scale areas with regard to
 the integration of air quality issues within the transport planning
 process over the last 3 years. It concludes that transport planning in the
 UK has made some headway towards the integration of environmental
 considerations into the planning process, including air quality
 considerations. There is, however, notable diversity between highways
 authorities in the degree to which air quality is considered. Air quality
 management operates to a significantly shorter time-scale than transport
 planning. The differing time-scales of the two planning processes have
 hindered their integration as a consequence.

Title: Sustainable Development and its Indicators: Through a (Planner's) Glass Darkly 
Abstract:
  The paper evaluates the usefulness of indicators as decision support
 instruments in planning for sustainable development. It examines key
 concepts and critical issues in planning for sustainable development and
 reviews the development of indicators in the last two decades. It
 evaluates their relevance in four planning functions by means of
 planning-related criteria. It concludes that indicators are still a long
 way from making a substantial contribution to planning and proposes broad
 research directions to improve their contribution. The need for
 integrated, context-specific theories of planning situations to frame the
 conceptualization, operationalization and use of indicators is emphasized.

Title: Stewardship and the US Department of Energy: Encompassing Ecosystem Protection 
Abstract:
  Stewardship normally refers to the long-term wise use and protection of
 natural or other resources. In the last 5 years the US Department of
 Energy (USDOE) has included stewardship as an important mission. Although
 the USDOE documents include responsibility for the protection of natural
 environments, statements on stewardship refer to responsibility for the
 long-term protection of human health and the environment from
 radioactivity and hazardous chemicals. We suggest that the USDOE should
 incorporate the buffer land around its hazardous sites into its
 stewardship mission, by adding these considerations to its Office of
 Environmental Restoration and developing performance measures for
 stewardship of this land that are as rigorously pursued as its clean-up
 goals. Although there will be lost opportunity costs, this option will
 have the advantages of ecosystem protection and enhanced ecosystem
 integrity, in addition to continued monitoring, assessment and security.

Title: Political Integration, Transboundary Pollution and Sustainability: Challenges for Environmental Policy in the Pearl River Delta Region 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on the changing political context for the resolution
 of transboundary environmental problems involving Hong Kong and the
 neighbouring Pearl River Delta Region (PRDR) of Guangdong Province,
 People's Republic of China. Awareness of possible transboundary movements
 of pollutants between the Mainland and the former UK colony initially
 developed in the years prior to reunification in 1997. Since 1997,
 however, there has been increasing concern in the Hong Kong Special
 Administrative Region about transboundary pollution resulting from rapid
 urbanization and industrialization taking place in the PRDR. Only now are
 studies under way to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and causes
 of these problems. Little progress has yet been made to put in place
 suitable institutional structures and related environmental planning and
 management approaches through which to tackle them. The paper examines the
 problems and dilemmas raised by transboundary pollution between Guangdong
 Province and Hong Kong, the need to develop appropriate models, policies
 and institutional structures to handle such issues, and the longer-term
 prospects for sustainable development in the PRDR.

Title: Urban Containment Policy and Exposure to Natural Hazards: Is There a Connection? 
Abstract:
  Planners throughout much of the past century have advocated containment
 of urban sprawl through regulatory restrictions that include growth
 boundaries, green belts and limits to utility extensions. Containment is
 widely practised in Europe and is a key component of 'smart growth' being
 advocated by a number of interest groups in the USA. In fact, it has
 already been incorporated in growth management policies in use in 73 US
 metropolitan areas. In this paper, we argue that containment may have a
 serious side-effect. It can lead to increased exposure to natural hazards
 and higher losses in disasters. However, we also show that measures are
 available to counter this effect, if planners recognize the threat and
 take vigorous steps to contain hazards, adjust building techniques or
 limit the development of potentially hazardous areas.

Title: Overcoming the Open System Problem in Local Industrial Ecological Analysis 
Abstract:
  Many environmental decisions must be made within places, such as cities,
 which are embedded in larger environmental and economic systems. The
 locally open character of these systems poses severe problems for
 advocates of the industrial ecology perspective, who pursue system-wide
 analysis and integrative, big-picture insights. This paper evaluates four
 strategies for overcoming the open system problem by applying them to
 Trenton, New Jersey. It finds that population-based impact analysis is
 easy but often lacks accuracy, comparative analysis often restates the
 obvious and is vulnerable to missing data, spatial analysis communicates
 well but currently lacks dynamism, multi-level analysis is difficult to
 explain but provides the richest insights and greatest adaptability, and
 local decision makers want specific rather than general insights.

Title: On the Separation of Risk Assessment and Risk Management 
Abstract:
  This paper provides a framework for analysing the standard policy of
 separating risk assessment from risk management. It presents an explicit,
 but stylized, model of the federal risk management system. In the model, a
 consumer faces a risky situation but is not the risk management decision
 maker. Political pressures on the actual decision maker lead to risk
 management errors. Separating risk assessment from risk management does
 not necessarily reduce the influence of political pressures. The paper
 concludes, however, that a strict separation may improve the risk
 management system from the point of view of the consumer.

Title: Making Sustainable Development Operational: Integrated Capacity Building for the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector in Mexico 
Abstract:
  Empirical understanding of sustainable development is improved by
 appreciating its dependence on integrated capacity building that can link
 sectors, social groups and disciplines together. An interdisciplinary team
 has been gaining practical experience of how to improve the socio-economic
 and institutional capacity of the urban water supply and sanitation sector
 in Mexico, a country with problems common to many rapidly-developing
 countries. Carried out with multi-stakeholder working groups, strategic
 capacities were identified to strengthen six components: (1) political and
 financial support; (2) human resources; (3) information resources; (4)
 regulations and compliance; (5) basic infrastructure; and (6) the market
 for support products and services. Three pilot cities were used to test
 the process under diverse geophysical and cultural conditions. Results of
 the conceptualization, diagnosis and planning stages are presented, and
 are being used to guide implementation. The process is adaptable to other
 countries, and to other natural resource and development sectors, such as
 soil and biodiversity conservation, energy and agriculture.

Title: An Economic Analysis of Shallow Groundwater Management for Nature Conservation and Agricultural Production 
Abstract:
  Lowering of shallow groundwater levels in agricultural areas with
 ecological value leads to desiccation of ecosystems. The aim of this paper
 is to develop a model to study the trade-offs between the agricultural
 production value and the monetary value of the ecological benefits of
 agricultural nature management as a result of changes in shallow
 groundwater levels. It shows that socially optimal groundwater levels
 depend on: (1) the agricultural production value; (2) the monetary value
 of nature; (3) the soil type and vegetation; and (4) the relative share of
 agricultural area with ecological value in total agricultural area.

Title: Community Participation and Rural Policy: Representativeness in the Development of Millennium Greens 
Abstract:
  An increasing interest in community participation (CP) in many areas of
 policy has grown as governments move from an executive to an enabling
 role. The development of CP in rural policy in the UK is charted and can
 be seen now as a requirement rather than an opportunity in policy
 implementation. A number of the potential advantages and shortcomings of
 CP in practice are considered and notions of representativeness and public
 accountability are singled out for empirical consideration in the context
 of millennium greens. Community applicants for such greens are found to
 range in their representativeness from those who have the community
 interest at their core to those who wish to pursue singular strategies,
 for example in opposing development. Some form of state sanction and full
 information are required to ensure that CP programmes serve the community
 interest.

Title: A Study of the Implementation of ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems in Hong Kong 
Abstract:
  The ISO 14001 environmental management system (EMS) standard has been
 adopted in many parts of the world. In order to evaluate current
 implementation in Hong Kong, a questionnaire survey was conducted of more
 than 200 local companies. ISO 14001 EMS adoption is still slow in Hong
 Kong, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The
 majority of SMEs do not have plans to implement the standard in the near
 future. However, the EMS standard has brought many advantages to the local
 ISO 14001 EMS certified companies, including the reduction of operating
 costs and the improvement of working efficiency. Recommendations are made
 for EMS standard implementation in local organizations, particularly SMEs.

Title: Global Management of Whales as a Mixed Good and Shared Resource: Bargaining and Institutions 
Abstract:
  The global management of whale species, which are here defined as an
 economic mixed good, is addressed by means of economic theory of
 bargaining and institution making. Analysis is focused on: (1) why and how
 it is important to take account of both (consumptive) use and non-use
 values when we cope with international environmental agreements (IEAs) on
 whales and global mixed goods; (2) the role and nature of institutions
 dealing with such global issues; and (3) the role of bargaining between
 conflicting interests as a focal feature of the institution-making
 process. Co-operative and non-co-operative solutions are discussed,
 together with instruments aimed at achieving co-operation. The study has
 both positive and normative implications, as far as international
 conventions on whales are concerned. Such institutions should internalize
 both ecological and economic issues. Developing the results of previous
 work, which argues that whale management should take into account the
 total value of the species in order to obtain an optimum vector of stock
 and harvest, a theory of two-agents bargaining is added to the picture and
 a normative analysis of institutions is attempted. Using natural resource
 economic theory, a model representing how the International Whaling
 Commission (IWC) currently works is attempted. The weakness, instability
 and possible inefficiency of the current IEA are underlined, and the paper
 then highlights how economic efficiency could be enhanced if monetary
 transfers were allowed. The ethical implications of monetary compensation
 are considered, together with economic efficiency. The main result is that
 economic models showing that optimal dynamic management is optimal only if
 based on total value maximization are right but useless if proper global
 institutions are not reformed or created. What we need is to make economic
 theory operational within the realm of global institutions. On the basis
 of the bargaining model, the conclusion is that the IWC should be
 reformed, by shifting the convention goals from being narrowly consumptive
 value-oriented to explicitly total value-oriented, that is from a
 'whaling' to a 'whale' convention. As new rules are to be developed within
 the convention, the possibility of introducing compensatory side payments
 into the bargaining arena is suggested in order to increase economic
 efficiency with respect to a 'ban' scenario. The limits and potentialities
 of economics and economic instruments are thus tested with respect to the
 global environmental issue of whales. Finally, insights for further
 necessary empirical research are discussed and proposed.

Title: Predicting Volunteer Commitment in Environmental Stewardship Programmes 
Abstract:
  The natural environment benefits greatly from the work of volunteers in
 environmental stewardship programmes. However, little is known about
 volunteers' motivations for continued participation in these programmes.
 This study looked at the relationship between volunteer commitment and
 motivation, as well as the effect that volunteering has on participants'
 behaviour and attitudes toward the environment. The study participants
 were 148 long-term volunteers from three environmental stewardship
 programmes in Michigan. The results of the study revealed that helping the
 environment and learning were important initial motivations. Other
 motivations, including social factors and project organization, were found
 to be significant predictors of volunteer commitment. Volunteers also
 indicated many significant changes in their environmental outlook and
 actions during their involvement in stewardship activities. The results of
 the study suggest that stewardship programmes that consider volunteers'
 changing motivations at different stages of their participation can
 effectively nurture personal growth while fostering a powerful
 constituency for the environment among their volunteers.

Title: Reforming Forest Planning and Management in Papua New Guinea, 1991-94: Losing People in the Process 
Abstract:
  Throughout the 1990s, forest planning and management in the south-west
 Pacific nation of Papua New Guinea (PNG) underwent an unprecedented period
 of reform. This paper evaluates the outcomes of this reform process
 against the backdrop of the country's unique system of land tenure. As the
 result of a long history of formal recognition of the rights of customary
 landowners, 97% of PNG remains under the ownership of the country's
 indigenous population. Despite this, indigenous landowners have
 historically been excluded from forest planning and management. A key
 question that arises as a consequence is what, if anything, the most
 recent reforms did to address this situation. The answer, unfortunately,
 is very little. This paper offers an equityoriented assessment of the key
 reforms to forest planning and management. The assessment suggests that
 the PNG government missed an unprecedented opportunity to redirect
 forestry toward the localized, developmental needs of the people at the
 centre of the entire forestry enterprise: PNG's traditional village
 communities.

Title: Is Eco-living more Sustainable than Conventional Living? Comparing Sustainability Performances between Two Townships in Southern Sweden 
Abstract:
  Ecological footprint (EF) analysis was used to determine whether
 so-called eco-living in Sweden differs from conventional living. The study
 involved two elements: (1) calculations of material and energy needs for
 constructing an eco-house in Toarp and a standard house in Oxie, southern
 Sweden; and (2) EF analysis of consumption patterns in households from
 Toarp and Oxie. A difference of only 10% was observed in the comparison of
 the building materials between the two houses. Building materials
 represent less than 5% of the annual EF in Toarp and Oxie. There was no
 significant difference in the EF between the two towns. The average annual
 EFs are 2.8 ha per person and 3.7 ha per person in Toarp and Oxie,
 respectively. Food consumption and energy consumption for housing (space
 heating and electricity use) are the largest contributors to the EF in
 Toarp and Oxie. These factors are almost equal in size and constitute 75%
 of the total EF in both Toarp and Oxie.

Title: The Value of Leisure Time: A Contingent Rating Approach 
Abstract:
  In this paper, we apply the contingent rating method to the problem of
 estimating a value for leisure time. This is an important component of
 recreation demand models. A tradition in this literature has been to use
 some fixed percentage of the wage rate as the value of time. However, time
 values are likely to vary across individuals to a greater extent than this
 suggests, whilst for a given individual time is differently valued
 according to how it is spent. Empirical results show that there is indeed
 a wide variation in leisure time values.

Title: Managing Forests in India to Mitigate Carbon 
Abstract:
  The paper analyses mitigation options feasible in the forestry sector of
 India and estimates the carbon sequestration potential of forests for
 these options. The current scenario suggests that forests are emitting
 more carbon compared with carbon sequestered by tree growth. This will be
 the case until there exists an alternative supply of timber and fuelwood,
 which can decrease the overdependence on forests. If the entire area of
 feasible land is used for forestry, the mean estimate of carbon
 sequestered by natural forests along with newly afforested plantations is
 around 153 Tg (teragrams) carbon per year by 2030, equivalent to the 1990
 fossil fuel emissions of India. An attractive feature of forest-based
 mitigation is that a large amount of carbon can be sequestered over a much
 shorter time than that over which energy consumption patterns are likely
 to change. In India, where there is overdependence on fuelwood, the
 fuelwood produced by a forest-based mitigation programme could delay a
 rise in fossil fuel consumption and buy time while technological and
 social change takes place.

Title: Environmental Capacity of Aviation: Theoretical Issues and Basic Research Directions 
Abstract:
  The European Union Transport Commission considers limited environmental
 capacity a potential constraint on aviation growth. Although environmental
 capacity is subject to value-laden judgements regarding environmental
 conservation and socioeconomic development, levels of environmental
 capacity consumption and availability can in principle be determined
 within a distance-to-target framework. Locally negotiated emission levels
 and regulated environmental quality states can function as local
 environmental capacity targets for airports. For environmental factors not
 already regulated, protocols for sectoral limits for resource inputs and
 waste outputs need to be researched and developed. Assessment of
 environmental capacity availability and consumption should be undertaken
 on a lifecycle basis.

Title: Sustainability Appraisals of Regional Planning Guidance and Regional Economic Strategies in England: An Assessment 
Abstract:
  Sustainability appraisal involves the systematic identification and
 evaluation of the potential impacts on sustainability concerns of a
 policy, plan, programme or project, in order that its performance in
 relation to sustainable development may be improved. UK government
 guidance currently requires regional planning guidance (RPG) and regional
 economic strategies (RESs) prepared for each English region to undergo a
 sustainability appraisal. To this end, the Department of the Environment,
 Transport and the Regions in August 1999 published its Proposals for a
 Good Practice Guide on the Sustainability Appraisal of Regional Planning
 Guidance (the proposed guide) that were also potentially applicable to
 RESs. RPG and RES preparation was under way at this time and it is
 therefore unreasonable to expect the recommendations of the proposed guide
 to have been met in full, since these are based on the premise that
 appraisal is initiated at the same time as the strategy development
 process. Nevertheless, it is important to benchmark the performance of the
 accompanying appraisals in order that any problems, deficiencies or
 examples of best practice may be identified and used to inform the
 preparation of future appraisals. This paper presents the findings of a
 review of reports documenting the sustainability appraisal process as it
 applied to RPG for six English regions and RESs for seven regions. The aim
 was to address the extent to which the appraisals conformed to the
 procedural and methodological recommendations detailed in the proposed
 guide. The results of the review suggest that, although some aspects of
 the proposed guide were followed, certain fundamental elements were
 lacking, thus lessening the effectiveness of the appraisals in influencing
 strategy performance. Possible reasons for these failures are discussed
 and recommendations for future improvements put forward.

Title: The Application of Environmental Impact Assessment to Land Reclamation Practice 
Abstract:
  Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a tool to assist in limiting the
 potential environmental damage of various developments. This article
 explores the possible application of EIA to projects that are instead
 designed to bring about environmental improvement. This is illustrated by
 reference to projects for the reclamation of derelict land. Consideration
 of the different steps of the EIA process shows how it might contribute to
 the land reclamation process. A review of environmental statements and
 government guidance enabled the compilation of a comprehensive checklist
 of factors associated with reclamation. A study was then made of plans to
 reclaim a derelict quarry in Rossendale, Lancashire, UK. The EIA approach
 tested revealed a number of factors of importance to the project which had
 not been dealt with fully or sufficiently early by the actual plans. The
 EIA approach was also able to demonstrate the process of intended
 environmental improvement for the site. It is concluded that EIA can
 fulfil both a 'conventional' role as a tool for environmental management
 and the more 'creative' role of maximizing the potentially beneficial
 effects of a project. Certain adaptations to the EIA process are suggested
 in order for it to fulfil this creative role.

Title: Simulation Modelling in Resource Management: A Sustainable Development Approach to Resource Extraction in Sierra Leone 
Abstract:
  This paper is a contribution to the urgent need for effective sustainable
 development strategies within the framework of Agenda 21 put forward at
 the 1992 World Conference on Environment and Development. It describes the
 development of a natural resource management model which is able to
 capture the economic, social and ecological variables that influence
 resource management. The model is validated and used to analyse policies
 available to government to regulate national development. Three policy
 approaches are analysed: the conservative policy approach, which allows
 mining activity to continue in its current state, and which is shown to
 lead to near-catastrophic environmental results; the radical policy
 approach, which would terminate all mining activities immediately, and
 which is shown not to be economically viable for an economy dependent on
 natural resources; and the harmonious policy approach, which is based upon
 the first two analyses and advocates a gradual reduction of mining
 activities whilst at the same time investing in intensive agricultural
 development. This third policy is then used as an approach to control
 environmental degradation through the gradual reduction of mining
 activities and the improvement of agriculture, with the objective of
 achieving sustainable development. The implementation strategies of this
 policy are also discussed.

Title: The Environmental Consequences of Tax Differentiation by Vehicle Age in Costa Rica 
Abstract:
  This paper provides an overview of the potential environmental benefits
 in Costa Rica of increasing the relative tax rate on imported used cars.
 Analysis of this policy instrument has been chosen because Costa Rican
 fiscal policy has traditionally favoured the import of used cars.
 Moreover, a tax which differentiates between new and used cars can be a
 good proxy for taxes based directly upon emission levels. The results of
 the simulation reveal considerable environmental benefits in terms of
 nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide emissions.

Title: Location, Networks and Firm Environmental Management Practices 
Abstract:
  Firms face a multitude of barriers in their attempt to manage the
 environmental impacts of their operations. These may include economic,
 information- and knowledge-related, organizational and technical factors.
 To overcome such barriers, in-house resources and capabilities may need to
 be supplemented by external ones. This paper draws from the regional
 economic literature and the literature on networks to examine the role
 that firm location and participation in networks may play in enhancing a
 firm's ability to engage in environmental management, thus implicitly
 overcoming some of these barriers. In a sample of 180 firms operating in
 Cyprus, a relationship was found between a firm's location and
 participation in networks and the extent of use of environmental
 management measures by that firm. Specifically, there is a relationship
 between, first, firm location and the extent of use of end-of-pipe
 measures and, second, firm participation in networks and the extent of use
 of both end-of-pipe and pollution prevention measures. These findings are
 supported by the regional economic and network literatures.

Title: Facts, Beliefs and Biases: Perspectives on Forest Conservation in Finland 
Abstract:
  The history of forestry in Finland demonstrates that the management of
 nature is embedded in social and economic institutions. That these
 institutions have cultural dimensions needs to be recognized if current
 conflicts over forests are to be resolved. Drawing insights from social
 studies of science and technology, the paper explores Finland's 'forest
 war', which is carried out in strikingly science-based terms. It shows
 that debate has been carried out within the bounds of what official
 expertise on forests has long deemed acceptable, where the conservationist
 side of the argument also draws on scientific claims which are
 constructed, not neutral or extra-social facts. Since social and cultural
 factors are central to resource management even where debate is pursued in
 adamantly technical and scientific language, it needs to be recognized
 that 'nature' is not sufficient grounds for policy, but nor is 'the
 economy'.

Title: The Ageing US Population and Environmental Policy 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the potential ramifications of an ageing US
 population for near-term and future environmental policy. The US Census
 Bureau estimates that the US population 65 years old and older will number
 39 million in 2010, 69 million in 2030 and 79 million in 2050. The
 population 85 years old and older will number 5.6 million in 2010, 8.5
 million in 2030 and 18.2 million in 2050. Relationships between
 environmental problems such as air pollution and global warming and older
 persons' health issues are examined. Also addressed are the potential
 implications for environmental quality of how older persons allocate their
 time and money. Conflicts about environmental policy within generations of
 older persons and between older persons and younger generations already
 exist and may escalate as older persons seek both to protect themselves
 from environmental risks and to enjoy environmental amenities and
 financial security. It is argued that environmental protection will
 eventually prevail over economic concerns, not only because current
 support for the environment is high and increasing among generations of
 soon to be older Americans but also because the prospect of substantially
 increased life spans will lead people to act more actively to reduce
 environmental risks and enhance the surrounding environments where they
 will live. To better meet the needs of an ageing population while at the
 same time protecting the environment, innovations are needed in ecosystem
 management, urban design and economic policies. Expanded research and
 development programmes are needed to support each of these areas.

Title: Experiences with Fertilizer Taxes in Europe 
Abstract:
  A levy on nitrogen fertilizer is evaluated, using real life experiences
 in Austria, Finland and Sweden until 1995. In these countries such a levy
 system was introduced in 1986, 1976 and 1985, respectively. Rates varied
 from between 10% and 72% of the price of fertilizer. Price elasticity in
 these situations was estimated to vary between - 0.1 and - 0.5. In Austria
 the fertilizer industry at first did not pass the costs of the levy on to
 the farmers, but fertilizer use decreased by 15%, indicating that not only
 economic stimuli but also other aspects, such as a growing environmental
 awareness, influence fertilizer use as well. The decrease in fertilizer
 use in the three countries has probably led to a reduction of nitrogen
 load to the environment. Levy revenues were mainly used to support grain
 exports. Administration costs were low, about 0.75% of the tax revenues.
 It is concluded that a fertilizer tax as a policy instrument is not a
 perfect method, but that such economic instruments can be part of an
 effective policy mix to solve nitrogen problems.

Title: Conservation and Management of the Earth Heritage Resource in Great Britain 
Abstract:
  Earth heritage conservation is the branch of conservation that is
 concerned with sustaining the geological and geomorphological heritage of
 the Earth. The aims and requirements of Earth heritage conservation are
 poorly understood in comparison to biological conservation in Great
 Britain, although both operate within a similar legal framework. This
 paper outlines the aims of Earth heritage conservation, the legislative
 framework within which it operates and some of the main threats to Earth
 heritage sites. A fundamental distinction is made between exposure and
 integrity sites, each of which has different conservation management
 requirements. Integrity sites include both static geomorphological sites
 and active process geomorphological sites, the management of which is
 illustrated with examples from the coastal and fluvial environments.
 Exposure sites are those where there are natural or artificial exposures
 of rocks or sediments that are extensive beneath the ground surface. This
 paper also considers recent developments in the field of Earth heritage
 conservation and explores potential areas in which the subject may
 develop. These include the development of natural areas, the role of urban
 geology, opportunities for site interpretation and the expansion of the
 regionally important geological/geomorphological sites (RIGSs) network.

Title: Socio-economic Impacts: Are They Still the Poor Relations in UK Environmental Statements? 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses the treatment of social and economic impacts within
 UK environmental impact assessment (EIA). Socio-economic effects have an
 uncertain status in EIA, guidance on their assessment is limited and their
 treatment is often partial and of poor quality. This has led some
 commentators to view socio-economic impacts as the 'poor relations' in
 EIA. The paper presents the results of a recent review of the
 socio-economic component of UK environmental statements (ESs), which
 provides information on the extent, scope, balance and quality of
 socio-economic impact treatment. The review reveals that, although most
 ESs include some information on socio-economic issues, coverage tends to
 be narrowly focused on a small number of--primarily beneficial
 economic--impact types. Quantification of socio-economic impacts is also
 rarely attempted. The review findings are compared with those of similar
 studies undertaken in the mid-1990s, and the paper concludes with some
 recommendations for EIA practitioners relating to the treatment of
 socio-economic impacts.

Title: Perceptions, Not Facts: How Forestry Professionals Decide on the Restoration of Degraded Forest Ecosystems 
Abstract:
  The protection and sustainable management of forests make up one of the
 major challenges of the years to come. While deforestation is the main
 problem in the tropics and subtropics, the qualitative degradation of
 forest ecosystems is the focus of discussions in the temperate zones. From
 a sociopolitical point of view, the crucial question in this respect is
 how forestry professionals and forest owners can be prompted to take
 active measures to restore degraded forest stands. Based on the theory of
 social constructivism and the model of symbolic interactionism, this paper
 shows that a person's readiness to implement restoration measures, inter
 alia , depends on the urgency of the problem. However, it does not (only)
 hinge on the 'objective' degree of damage, but (also) on the subjective
 problem perception of the decision maker. The empirical survey indicates,
 furthermore, that these subjective perceptions are--among other
 things--determined by social interactions. On the basis of these findings,
 we can derive a number of practical recommendations not just for science
 and research scientists, but especially for persons and institutions
 working in (further) education and in the field of extension services.

Title: Two Paths to Industrial Ecology: Applying the Product-based and Geographical Approaches 
Abstract:
  The development of the practical side of the concept of industrial
 ecology has taken two different but interrelated paths during the last two
 decades: the product-based systems perspective; and the geographically
 defined local-regional industrial ecosystem approach. Both approaches
 focus on material and energy flows aiming at reducing the industrial
 system's virgin resource use and waste and emission outputs. The ideal has
 arisen to mimic the model of a sustainable natural ecosystem, which relies
 solely on solar energy as the input and creates cyclical flows of
 materials (and related energy cascades) between organisms and in the food
 chain. It is argued in the industrial ecology literature that wastes, as
 defined in human industrial system terms, are non-existent in the natural
 recycling system. In this paper, an application of the product-based
 systems approach is given with paper life cycles and a basic life cycle
 inventory model. An application to the regional approach is presented in
 the regional energy supply system of the city of Jyvaskyla in Finland. The
 paper aims at discussing the two approaches in industrial ecology and
 considers their contradictory characteristics as well as their
 similarities. When the basic vision and the overriding goal is the local
 industrial ecosystem, the product-based approach can serve as an inventory
 tool to support the project. In this situation, the two approaches would
 seem to be each other's complement. When the two approaches are adopted as
 each other's substitute, they may support conflicting decisions for
 environmental policy and management. This may create difficulties in the
 implementation of industrial ecology. On the basis of both of the
 approaches to industrial ecology, the external environment of an
 organization is considered to comprise the societal material and energy
 flow environment and the natural material and energy flow environment .

Title: Sustainable Business Sites in the Netherlands: A Survey of Policies and Experiences 
Abstract:
  The concept of eco-industrial sites or sustainable business sites is a
 noteworthy newcomer in the family of location types. The origin of this
 type may be considered as a consequence of two development trends, namely
 the segmentation of the location market on the one hand (an outcome of
 changing locational tendencies) and the aim of government policy to
 integrate economic and environmental objectives on the other. In this
 paper, both trends are analysed. The central aim is to establish the
 progress of implementing the newly developed location concept in practice
 and to identify factors of success and failure. The situation in the
 Netherlands is used as a frame of reference. After the outline of the
 background, the concept of sustainable business sites, including its
 definition, is considered and criticized. Then a tentative inventory is
 presented of the approximately 60 eco-parks which have developed in the
 past 10 years in the Netherlands, including the results of a questionnaire
 survey of these 60 parks. To get a better insight into the factors which
 determine success or failure, short case-studies of a number of the parks
 are presented. Finally, a number of conclusions are presented, including a
 discussion of an alternative view of the concept of eco-industrial sites
 which applies to the continuity of both firm and environment.

Title: Threatened Species Conservation in New South Wales, Australia: A Review of the Value of the Eight-part Test 
Abstract:
  The Threatened Species Conservation (TSC) Act, introduced in 1995,
 represents a significant attempt to conserve and restore biodiversity
 within the state of New South Wales, Australia. This Act aims to integrate
 land use planning and environmental impact assessment legislation by
 placing increased responsibility on applicants, proponents, consent and
 determining authorities, and the New South Wales National Parks and
 Wildlife Service, in the fields of environmental planning, development
 control and biodiversity conservation. The TSC Act introduced a set of
 eight factors which have to be considered by decision makers in
 determining whether a development is likely to have a significant effect
 upon threatened species, populations, ecological communities or their
 habitats (the threatened biota) as listed in the Act. These eight factors
 are commonly referred to as the 'eight-part test'. Fifty environmental
 impact statements (EISs) containing eight-part tests for development
 proposals were obtained. The adequacy of scoping and survey exercises, the
 number of species identified and afforded the eight-part test, and the
 actual responses to each of the eight factors contained within the test,
 using a series of criteria, were ascertained. Sixty per cent provided an
 adequate scoping exercise; 6% of the surveys for flora species, and none
 for fauna species carried out, were adequate in terms of identifying all
 threatened species on the development site. Seven hundred and thirty-seven
 species listed in the Act were identified, 36% of which were omitted from
 the eight-part test procedure. The eight sections of the eight-part test
 were completed to a varying degree of adequacy, with none of the EISs
 completing all eight sections satisfactorily. Both section 4 (regarding
 the impacts of a development in terms of habitat isolation) and section 8
 (regarding the distribution of species potentially affected by a
 development) were inadequately completed in all 50 EISs.

Title: Role of Wild Game in the Diet of Recreationists in South Carolina 
Abstract:
  Risk assessors have devoted considerable attention to the consumption of
 fish in the diet of recreational and subsistence anglers, but little
 attention has been directed toward the percentage that wild game
 contributes to total protein intake for people who engage in hunting and
 fishing. While recall studies have limitations, the relative errors should
 be similar for different types of fish and game. We interviewed 454 people
 attending the Palmetto Sportsmen's Classic in South Carolina to determine
 their consumption patterns of domesticated animals, fish (both wild-caught
 and commercial) and wild game. The percentage of people who consumed each
 type of meat was: chicken (98%); beef (95%); wild-caught fish (79%); deer
 (79%); restaurant fish (73%); pork (71%); dove (47%); commercial fish
 (41%); wild turkey (40%), duck, squirrel and self-caught quail (about 25%
 each); restaurant quail (10%); and raccoon (11%). Although a similar
 proportion of white respondents and black respondents consumed wild game
 overall (90%), there were ethnic differences in the number of meals of
 wild-caught fish and game. Black respondents ate more wild-caught fish,
 rabbit, raccoon and squirrel, and less deer, than did white respondents.
 Wild-caught fish and game made up 50% of the meat and fish diet of black
 sportsmen, but only 32% for whites. Wild-caught fish and game were being
 eaten disproportionately more by low-income black respondents, while more
 deer was consumed by higher-income black respondents. The data suggest
 that managers and planners should take into account age, ethnicity and
 income when (1) conducting exposure assessments, (2) considering
 consumption patterns for wild-caught fish and game and (3) managing risk
 from wild-caught fish and game. The data will be especially useful to
 policy makers and risk managers who are designing consumption advisories,
 for risk communicators in identifying the target audience and for managers
 designing long-term stewardship for sites with contamination.

Title: Emission versus Input Taxes for Diffuse Nitrate Pollution Control in the Presence of Transaction Costs 
Abstract:
  The most important obstacle to solving diffuse pollution problems is that
 emissions are either unobservable or cannot be observed at a reasonable
 cost. Biophysical models may provide sufficient information to set a
 cost-effective emission tax. However, evidence from recent studies has
 shown that transaction costs for emission-based policies are higher per
 hectare than for input-based policies. An economic model of agriculture
 for the Kennet catchment in south-east England shows that, when
 transaction costs are accounted for, an input tax is more efficient than
 an emission tax over a range of emission standards. This result has policy
 implications in that it indicates, first, that economists' policy
 recommendations should account for transaction costs, and, secondly, that
 the standard advice that emission-based policies are superior may be wrong
 where transaction costs differ substantially between emission- and
 input-based policies.

Title: From Superfund Site to Developable Property: The Case of Rentokil 
Abstract:
  The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
 (42 USC &#xa7;&#xa7;9601 et seq.), commonly known as Superfund, was
 enacted on 11 December 1980 to facilitate the clean-up of hazardous waste
 sites. Superfund authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to
 compel responsible parties to clean up such sites. Superfund has been the
 source of extensive criticism since its inception. In response to this
 criticism, the EPA undertook a series of administrative reforms in 1993 to
 make the Superfund programme faster, fairer and more efficient. As of
 September 2000, active site remediation was complete at 757 (43%) of the
 1779 national priority list (NPL) sites and 218 sites (12%) had been
 deleted from the NPL. Rentokil, a former wood-preserving plant on a 10
 acre (4 ha) site in Henrico County, Virginia, was brought to the Virginia
 Health Department's attention as a threat to human health and the
 environment in 1989, was listed on the NPL the same year and was fully
 cleaned up in 1999. The cost of cleaning up Rentokil was $12 million, or
 $37.08 per square foot ($412 per square metre). The site is proposed to be
 redeveloped for tax-generating light industrial and commercial use.
 Rentokil reflects the EPA's implementation of several reforms geared
 toward reconciling cost considerations with remedy effectiveness and
 expedient implementation, and facilitating redevelopment. This case
 study's examination of Rentokil's progression through the Superfund
 process is intended to provide planning practitioners and students with
 insight into the Superfund programme and process, as well as an awareness
 of the challenges confronting Superfund's success.

Title: Economic Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide Emission Abatement Measures in the Greek Energy Sector 
Abstract:
  This paper outlines a methodological framework for the economic
 evaluation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission abatement policies and
 measures, formulating a basis for the selection of those options of
 climate change mitigation interventions that minimize economic cost and
 maximize social welfare. To this purpose, a cost-benefit analysis has been
 implemented in order to evaluate a variety of CO 2 emission abatement
 measures in the Greek energy sector on the basis of their social (i.e. the
 sum of the private and external) costs and benefits, and it is compared
 with a cost-effectiveness analysis, which takes into account only the net
 financial costs of the examined interventions. The analysis clearly
 reveals that a significant decrease in CO 2 emissions is possible without
 great cost to the economy. Moreover, the monetization of environmental
 benefits (e.g. the restriction of impacts on human health, agriculture and
 biodiversity, etc.) associated with the above-mentioned interventions
 represents a powerful tool for highlighting priority actions in the
 context of a climate change mitigation policy and for quantifying their
 overall economic and environmental effectiveness.

Title: Strategic Connectivity, Sustainable Development and the New English Regional Governance 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the institutional impacts of the new English regional
 sustainability framework and highlights the tension between the need for
 regional involvement and the central desire to control the debates and
 intentions of the regional actors. The paper argues that the regional
 sustainable development frameworks have been worth writing because they
 have had a strong demonstration effect: they have allowed regional
 chambers to become more proactive bodies independent of the regional
 development agencies (which chambers were created to scrutinize). They
 have also allowed pluralistic conceptions of sustainable regional
 development to develop in the English regions alongside the economistic
 perspectives of national policy makers.

Title: Local Agenda 21 in Four Swedish Municipalities: A Tool towards Sustainability? 
Abstract:
  Four small- to medium-sized municipalities in the south-east of Sweden
 were chosen for a 5-year study of their Local Agenda 21 (LA21) processes.
 The study shows that the LA21 processes have instigated many new ideas,
 brought fields together and introduced new subjects into the municipal
 world. In the decisions of the local governments environmental
 considerations are treated seriously. There are signs of an extended
 dialogue and of public influence, especially within fields where citizens
 are directly involved. LA21 does not seem to have great influence on which
 natural resources are dealt with, but does on how they are dealt with. New
 stakeholders within and outside the municipal organization have been
 identified through the LA21 processes, and more comprehensive ways of
 solving problems and a positive climate for testing new ideas have been
 created. In these respects LA21 has been and will be a significant support
 to the development of appropriate natural resource management at the local
 level.

Title: Army Training: The Environmental Gains Resulting from the Adoption of Alternatives to Traditional Training Methods 
Abstract:
  This paper describes several alternatives to traditional methods of army
 training on dedicated ranges using live, full-calibre ammunition. These
 are: training/sub-calibre ammunition; training over private land; live or
 engagement simulation; virtual reality (VR) simulation; constructive
 simulation; and mechanical simulation. The advantages and disadvantages of
 each are examined with respect to military and environmental
 considerations. Varied examples from the British, US and Swiss armies are
 used to examine the future role of these alternative approaches in meeting
 a fast-changing training requirement within multiplying environmental
 controls and resource constraints. This paper concentrates particularly on
 the training requirements of artillery systems because these are amongst
 the most demanding in resource terms. The three cited nations operate
 similar artillery systems and are subject to similar constraints. The US
 Army's move towards simulation has been triggered largely by economic and
 operational factors along with tightening regulatory controls. The Swiss
 and British forces are highly constrained by space, the British due to
 population density and the Swiss due to topography. While all the
 alternatives offer environmental and resource advantages, VR simulation
 provides the most positive benefits.

Title: Risk Communication and the Waste-to-energy Incinerator Environmental Impact Assessment Process: A UK Case Study of Public Involvement 
Abstract:
  With a view to suggesting ways in which we might arrive at a more
 socially acceptable waste management facility siting process, this paper
 considers the effectiveness of a more innovative approach to risk
 communication for a planned municipal waste-to-energy incinerator in
 Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK. The risk communication programme involved a
 contact group process designed to enable key members of the local
 community to participate in structured and informed discussions about the
 proposal before it was submitted as a planning application to the
 competent authority. The paper concludes that the communication model was
 dominated by the findings of technical assessments and that it provided
 only limited opportunities for interested stakeholders to participate
 fairly and competently in the development process.

Title: Sustainability Criteria for Decision Support in the UK Water Industry 
Abstract:
  The incorporation of sustainability assessment into decision-making
 processes is a key task for water service providers in the UK and
 elsewhere. This paper describes the development and application of a set
 of sustainability criteria, which have been developed and tested with
 project partners in the UK and Romania. They will be used in a 'guidebook'
 that will set out a framework to facilitate the inclusion of
 sustainability in the decision-making process. This work is part of the
 Sustainable Water Industry Asset Resource Decisions project to develop a
 multi-criteria analysis decision support system to assist water service
 providers to assess the relative sustainability of water/wastewater system
 asset development decisions.

Title: Planning Models for Sustainable Water Resource Development 
Abstract:
  This paper intends to present a critical review of the planning models
 that can be used for sustainable water resource development. Three types
 of models are identified and assessed: (1) economic analysis models; (2)
 decision analysis models; and (3) systems analysis models. The methodology
 adopted in this paper is based on first describing the different types of
 models and then synthesizing and evaluating these models in terms of their
 theoretical underpinnings, applications, strengths and weaknesses. Each
 model is investigated with respect to its utility in addressing
 sustainability in water resource management. The study concludes that
 decision-based and system-based models may offer a wider spectrum of
 concepts than economic models in addressing multi-objective, multi-actor
 or 'wicked' problems in water management and resource sustainability.

Title: Information Disclosure Requirements and the Effect of Soil Contamination on Property Values 
Abstract:
  This paper extends previous research assessing the effects of
 environmental pollution on property values, and the specific issue of
 information disclosure requirements on future real estate transactions.
 Given that various information disclosure requirements were imposed in
 most US states during the 1990s, it is important to begin to understand
 their anticipated effects. Using a case of soil contamination in Corpus
 Christi, TX, USA, this paper applies the contingent valuation method using
 telephone survey data to investigate the effect of a split-sample
 information disclosure treatment concerning soil contamination on the
 willingness to pay of potential home buyers. The authors apply a mixture
 modelling approach to better explain the effect of the information
 disclosure requirement.

Title: Gauging the Vulnerability of Local Water Systems to Extreme Events 
Abstract:
  Water utilities that rely on surface water may be vulnerable to future
 droughts and floods, a vulnerability that may be magnified by climate
 perturbations as well as shorter-term and, in some cases, ongoing changes
 in the political and regulatory environment in which utilities operate.
 Unfortunately, day-to-day responsibilities currently occupy most utility
 operators, leaving little time to plan for inherently uncertain effects.
 The record of actual responses to past droughts and floods can be
 illuminating, however, particularly when placed in the context of
 plausible hydrologic disruption and pressures such as population growth,
 floodplain development and new regulatory demands. This paper draws on
 interviews with water utility operators in the northwestern USA to
 highlight opportunities and constraints that water utilities may face
 vis-a-vis such disruptions. Key considerations affecting vulnerabilities
 include water rights, institutional barriers to efficient utility
 operations, hazard management policy and the fiscal status of utilities.

Title: Water Companies' Service Performance and Environmental Trade-offs 
Abstract:
  Water companies have to ensure that supply and demand for water are kept
 in balance. This can necessitate the development of new sources of supply
 that may conflict with local wildlife interests. The paper reviews the
 policy background to this problem in the UK. It then presents an appraisal
 of a project to artificially recharge an aquifer with river water during
 the winter period, and abstract the water in the summer to augment
 shortages during drought conditions. The research investigates the
 preference trade-offs of water company customers between increasing
 security of supply and potential environmental impacts on local wetland
 sites and river flows. A cost-benefit analysis of the project is
 presented. The study also reveals a disparity between the site-specific
 valuation and that generated using the Environment Agency's approved
 benefit transfer guidelines.

Title: Stakeholder Perceptions of Climate Change Impacts at the Regional Scale: Implications for the Effectiveness of Regional and Local Responses 
Abstract:
  Interviews and three workshops with a wide range of stakeholders to
 explore their perceptions of climate change impacts and responses were
 conducted in two English regions (East Anglia and north-west England) as
 part of a UK government-funded research project on the integrated
 assessment of climate change impacts in the following domains:
 biodiversity, the coastal zone, agriculture and water resources. The
 findings suggest that whilst local and regional impacts are of
 considerable interest to regional stakeholders, their ability to respond
 through adapted policy and practice depends upon their existing frames of
 reference with respect to their understanding of the policy- and
 decision-making systems, and the operation of current institutional
 processes and response mechanisms. The authors use the empirical and
 conceptual findings to support the notion of the co-production of
 knowledge with institutional frameworks and processes.

Title: Integrated Land and Water Management in the United Kingdom: Narrowing the Implementation Gap 
Abstract:
  Riparian buffer zones have been incorporated in land and water management
 policy for England since 1994, when the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries
 and Food introduced a Water Fringe Option (WFO) as part of a broader
 habitat conservation scheme. Whilst natural scientists have examined the
 functioning of riparian buffer zones, understanding of farmers' decision
 making regarding the adoption or non-adoption of voluntary buffer zone
 policies is very limited. This paper examines the factors influencing the
 decision making of farmers who were eligible to join the WFO in three
 river catchments. Quantitative and qualitative information was collected
 from farmers using semi-structured interviews and was supplemented with
 in-depth interviews with representatives of public agencies, agricultural
 groups and independent experts. Data analysis was completed using the
 'Framework' analytical approach and the Statistical Package for the Social
 Sciences 8.0 computer software. The research revealed that decisions to
 participate in the WFO were influenced by a mix of situational,
 psychological and sociological characteristics, which suggests that policy
 makers must attach greater importance to implementation conditions and
 farmers decision making if riparian buffer zones are to play a more
 prominent role in the management of land and water in rural catchments.
 Tightly structured schemes will only appeal to a narrow segment of the
 farming population and will not lead to widespread re-creation of riparian
 habitats. A more flexible and collaborative style of policy development is
 needed in order for riparian buffer zone policies to meet the
 circumstances and needs of the diverse UK farming community.

Title: From Poole to Fulham: A Changing Culture in UK Environmental Impact Assessment Decision Making? 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the role of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in
 project authorization decision making and the way in which the courts have
 interpreted its role. The purpose of the paper is to establish whether or
 not that role has changed over the period between the introduction of EIA
 in 1988 and 2001. From the evidence reported here, it is argued that while
 the procedural stages of EIA have been very much strengthened over that
 period, the importance of EIA as a tool to aid planning authorization
 decision making remains largely peripheral.

Title: Tourist Support for Marine Protection in Nha Trang, Viet Nam 
Abstract:
  Environmental planners often propose tourism as a means of financing
 programmes to protect significant environmental areas. Surveys of tourists
 can provide useful information about the significance of environmental
 problems, trade-offs among policy objectives, willingness to pay (WTP) for
 protection programmes and preferences for different payment mechanisms. In
 Khanh Hoa Province, the provincial People's Committee, the Ministry of
 Fisheries and the World Conservation Union are working to implement Viet
 Nam's first marine protected area (MPA) in Nha Trang Bay. This paper
 reports the results of a survey of local and other Vietnamese and foreign
 tourists to islands that will be included in the MPA. The majority of
 respondents thought rubbish on the beaches, water pollution and vendors on
 beaches were problems and that the MPA was a good idea. Foreign tourists
 were significantly more likely to perceive environmental problems than
 were Vietnamese tourists, and persons who agreed there were environmental
 problems were significantly more likely to support the concept of an MPA,
 despite the potential for possible economic effects with distributive
 consequences. WTP for protection was modest and positively correlated with
 education and income. Although foreign tourists were on average willing to
 pay more, a larger proportion of Vietnamese tourists were willing to pay
 some amount to support the MPA. Analyses indicate that changes in income
 and education expected with economic development will increase both
 awareness of problems and WTP for protection. The results of this analysis
 are both encouraging and cautionary. The need for an MPA is clearly
 recognized by most tourists, and most tourists are willing to pay small
 fees to support the MPA. Given that education has significant impacts on
 both perceptions of problems and WTP, educational programmes may be an
 effective strategy for managing the competing objectives of protection and
 use.

Title: Agricultural Land Use in an Environmentally Sensitive Area: An Assessment of an Agri-environmental Policy Measure 
Abstract:
  The agri-environmental measures included in European Union regulation
 1257/99 encourage agricultural methods designed to protect the environment
 and maintain the countryside. The option of such environmentally
 favourable management of farming round a sensitive ecosystem including two
 lakes is examined. A multi-objective programming model is used to assess
 the cost of reducing the use of agrochemicals by changing the pattern of
 cropping alone. The solution shows that a substantial reduction in the use
 of agrochemicals can be achieved, if the support scheme provided for in
 this regulation can offset income loss due to reduced agrochemical use.
 The proposed aid results in a substantial reduction in the use of
 fungicides and insecticides, which are the most noxious agrochemicals.

Title: Environmental Protection in the Russian Federation: Lessons and Opportunities 
Abstract:
  Environmental managers in Russia face severe problems, both from
 Soviet-era and continuing environmental degradation and due to the
 weakness of current institutions with responsibilities for environmental
 protection. This paper draws on surveys, a case study of water pollution
 and workshops on Russian environmental decision making to explore
 prospects for environmental improvements. Using concepts from the
 regulatory reform literature, it focuses on the use of market incentives,
 the construction of a civil society and community involvement, and
 emphasizes that Russian non-governmental organizations may have a
 particularly important role to play in improving environmental management.
 Solidifying their legal base, coalition-building skills and the capability
 to conduct independent, pragmatic policy analyses would enhance their
 contribution.

Title: Developing Environmentally Respectful Policy Programmes: Five Key Principles 
Abstract:
  In contemporary governance situations, varying, but often similar,
 ecological, economic, cultural and social challenges are experienced by
 differing stakeholder groups in a variety of policy sectors. To meet such
 challenges requires attention both to policy agendas and to policy
 processes, the ways in which policy is developed. This paper sets out some
 principles for policy making that can help to meet these challenges while
 acknowledging the inevitable limits to policy success. Such principles
 have particular pertinence in relation to environmental issues that often
 suffer from being divorced from mainstream institutional structures and
 often lack policy communities with a specific remit to champion their
 concern. The authors suggest that to maximize success and minimize
 failure, policy processes must be deliberative rather than solely
 technocratic and should attempt as far as possible to: articulate their
 message clearly; frame activity in the policy sector and as far as
 possible help guide strategies and programmes in other relevant sectors;
 help co-ordinate policy interventions through links to other policy
 communities operating across differing spatial scales; be legitimized
 through working with a broad range of stakeholder groups; and mobilize
 stakeholders toward implementing programme goals.

Title: More than Biodiversity: The Socio-economic Impact of Implementing Biodiversity Action Plans in the UK 
Abstract:
  Biodiversity action plans (BAPs), which are designed to protect and
 enhance wildlife, can also provide additional benefits to the local
 economy in terms of job creation and income generation. This paper
 considers the socio-economic benefits of implementing the BAP for
 species-rich hedges in Devon. It identifies employment and income
 generation for hedge contractors, farm labour, trainers, suppliers,
 processors of hedge products and the tourist industry as a result of 1
 million expenditure on hedge restoration work to meet BAP targets. Using
 data from a survey of hedgerow contractors and key informants in related
 industries a multiplier analysis identified that funding for hedge
 restoration can have significant employment and income generation impacts
 on the local economy. In particular, this multiplier effect is enhanced
 because both hedge contractors and materials are largely sourced locally.

Title: The Carbon Dioxide Reduction Workshop: Dutch Experiences with a Participatory Approach 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the potential of a method for participatory
 policy making in the field of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction in housing:
 the CO 2 reduction workshop. This innovative method aims to involve
 relevant actors at an early stage of urban development and to formulate
 common ambitions for CO 2 reduction. Special attention is paid to the
 inputting of information about options for CO 2 reduction. The workshop
 was organized and evaluated in two planning processes for new housing
 estates in the Netherlands. The evaluation addresses the design of the
 workshop, the utilization of knowledge in the process, the effects of the
 workshop on the commitment and knowledge of the participants and the
 effects on the wider planning process.

Title: Air Quality Management in UK Local Authorities: Public Understanding and Participation 
Abstract:
  Science and technology are an integral part of informing public policy on
 air pollution and transport management. Expectations of science and
 technology by society and their use by air quality policy makers has led
 to increasing reliance upon this evidence to promote health and
 well-being. This can be seen, for example, in the setting of the UK
 national objectives for air pollutants based on exposure and health
 effects. This paper addresses three questions. It assesses, through the
 use of focus groups, the public perceptions of air pollution and the
 atmospheric dispersion model output from the Atmospheric Dispersion
 Modelling System-Urban. Then it assesses their understanding of this
 information and its current presentation to the layperson. Finally, it
 assesses how their perceptions and understanding influence their solutions
 to local air quality management in the London Borough of Camden. The
 results show that participants in the study struggled with the concept of
 air pollution outside their sphere of experience, and they did not
 understand the scientific basis or modelling used to inform local policy.
 This is partly a result of the way this information is presented. They did
 not relate the technological evidence to their opinions of acceptable
 solutions or they expressed reluctance to suggest specific options. It is
 proposed that a well-informed public would make comprehensive decisions on
 air quality based upon a broader range of factors, incorporating the
 scientific reasoning and technological information as well as emotive and
 socio-economic factors. A balance between science and technological
 understanding with the validity of local expertise will improve air
 quality policy making to the greater satisfaction of all stakeholders.

Title: Forest Renewal British Columbia: An Experiment in the Recycling of Revenue-raising Environmental Taxation 
Abstract:
  Forest Renewal British Columbia (FRBC) was created in 1994 to deliver
 programmes of sustainable development within the leading economic sector
 of the province, serving as a key element of the radical new natural
 resource management agenda being promoted by an interventionist provincial
 administration. Its funding consisted solely of the hypothecated revenues
 of a 'super' stumpage on timber harvesting. This paper considers the role
 FRBC played in helping to gain agreement to changes in provincial land use
 planning and forest strategy, and evaluates its effectiveness as an
 eco-tax recycling mechanism.

Title: Rapid Assessment of Organic Pollution in a West-central Mexican River Using a Family-level Biotic Index 
Abstract:
  The cost-effectiveness of rapid assessment approaches make their
 adaptation for use in developing countries appealing, but biological
 assessment methods need to be validated before use in new geographic
 areas. The authors tested the suitability of a family-level biotic index
 for use in a river in west-central Mexico that receives organic
 point-source pollution from untreated municipal sewage and sugar-cane
 processing. The biotic index was highly correlated to dissolved oxygen,
 and could detect different levels of pollution. Information from rapid
 assessment biomonitoring was used successfully by local natural resource
 managers to help bring about improvements in water resource management.

Title: Forest Management Systems Evaluation: Using ISO14000 
Abstract:
  Sustainable forest management (SFM) or ecosystem management is now the
 stated goal of forest managers in most countries. SFM takes a longer-term,
 broader perspective on forest values than timber production or the narrow
 multiple use regimes of the past. As a result of international activities
 including the International Tropical Timber Organization, the Ministerial
 Council on Protection of Forests in Europe and the Montreal Process for
 temperate and boreal forests outside Europe, there are now sufficiently
 specific and agreed principles, criteria and indicators (C&I) to guide
 policy makers towards SFM. To achieve SFM requires holistic assessments of
 forest management systems in terms of these C&I to ensure the delivery of
 sustainable outcomes across forest regions. This paper focuses on the
 implementation of SFM as defined by the C&I, and, in particular, how to
 identify needed reforms in forest management systems. The paper explains
 and evaluates the International Standards Organization's (ISO's)
 environmental management systems (EMS) ISO14000/EMS approach adopted for
 this purpose in Australia to assess the adequacy of forest management
 systems. The approach was applied as a key element in the regional forest
 agreements prepared to meet the Australian National Forest Policy
 Statement. The ISO14000/EMS, in conjunction with the SFM criteria,
 provides a systematic approach to assessing forest management systems to
 reveal the adequacy of the legislative, planning, implementation,
 monitoring and review of all-tenure forest management as required by SFM.

Title: Barn Owls, Bumble Bees and Beetles: UK Agriculture, Biodiversity and Biodiversity Action Planning 
Abstract:
  Agriculture is a key land user implicated in the causes of, and solutions
 to, the problem of biodiversity decline. The development, in the late
 1990s, of farm biodiversity action plans (farm BAPs) represents an
 important step towards achieving greater farmer involvement in
 biodiversity and is the first specific attempt to devise a practical
 mechanism for meeting biodiversity targets at the farm level. In this
 paper the processes surrounding the design and implementation of farm BAPs
 are used to explore how farmers are responding to the biodiversity issue
 and to highlight challenges and opportunities being faced by the
 organizations delivering biodiversity to the farming community. It
 describes the formulation and operation of farm BAPs, and then moves on to
 present two conceptual domains, governance and ecological modernization,
 which provide a framework for interpreting the emergence of farm BAPs.
 Following a brief elaboration of methodology, the paper presents and
 discusses selected findings from empirical research into farm BAPs across
 the UK.

Title: Farmers' Choices: Management Practices to Reduce Nutrient Leakage within a Swedish Catchment 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses farmers' strategies on management practices for the
 reduction of nutrient releases, within a Swedish catchment. The main
 objective of the European Union water framework directive is to obtain
 good ecological water quality, and the approach is specifically stipulated
 to be catchment-based. Eutrophication is generally stated as the main
 environmental problem in water management and agricultural production is
 the major cause of nutrient leakage. The analysis concentrates on current
 agricultural management practices to reduce nutrient leakage. Farmers are
 beginning to experience a new awareness about nutrient use and see manure
 as a resource instead of a waste product. Further, those factors that are
 decisive for decision making are investigated, including information
 sources. The farm economy, the level of ecological knowledge and
 regulations illustrate the main obstacles linked to decision making.
 Professional magazines and informal discussions are considered the most
 esteemed information sources. Farmers' disposition to change, and
 co-operation, are also discussed, both of which are of vital importance
 for the development of new official administrative procedures.

Title: Developing Institutional Capacity at the Regional Level: The Development of a Coastal Forum in the North West of England 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the process of establishing a coastal forum in the
 North West region of England. The North West Coastal Forum is one of the
 first attempts at the establishment of a regional forum in England and is
 especially notable for the role played by the Government Office for the
 North West in its formation. The paper examines the relationships between
 the key agencies involved and, in particular, the key role played by the
 Government Office for the North West in promoting and establishing the
 forum and how this has influenced its organization, structure and
 composition. It provides a critical analysis of the apparent and potential
 strengths and weaknesses of the forum as an example of a partnership
 approach to the planning and management of coastal issues in the North
 West. The conclusions are not only of relevance to the future development
 of the forum within the North West of England, and to the potential
 establishment of similar coastal fora elsewhere, but are also of much
 broader interest as a case example of the development of institutional
 capacities and collaborative partnership approaches to planning issues at
 the regional level in the wider context of the changing nature of regional
 governance in the UK and the enhanced 'regional partnership' role being
 embraced by the government offices for the regions.

Title: Outdoor Recreation and Participative Democracy in England and Wales 
Abstract:
  The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 places a duty on highways and
 national park authorities to establish local access forums (LAFs), to
 advise on the improvement of public access to land for the purposes of
 open air recreation and enjoyment. This paper examines these proposals in
 the context of recent academic and political debates about deliberative
 democracy, and empirical research on the nature and practice of existing
 access liaison groups and forums. While demonstrating that the proposed
 LAFs are consistent with contemporary constructs of participative, if not
 deliberative democracy, the paper argues that most existing groups and
 forums fall short of this ideal, in a number of significant respects. The
 paper proceeds to discuss the extent to which the draft regulations for
 LAFs in England and Wales address these issues, and concludes by
 questioning the extent to which such consultative arrangements can
 contribute to new forms of local governance.

Title: Flooding and the Role of Planning in England and Wales: A Critical Review 
Abstract:
  In this paper the authors raise some important questions about the extent
 to which planning is fostering an environment susceptible to flooding.
 They argue that severe UK flooding incidents in recent years should result
 in the government re-examining the planning system to ensure relevancy and
 effectiveness in dealing with such problems in the future. They identify
 where the current policy and practice weaknesses lie in planning to limit
 both flood source and flood impact areas and suggest ways in which the
 government and the profession could take remedial steps to increase local
 and regional sustainability.

Title: Strategic Routeing and Environmental Impact Assessment for Overhead Electrical Transmission Lines 
Abstract:
  High-voltage, high-capacity overhead lines are the economic and reliable
 choice for the bulk transmission of electricity throughout the world. The
 routeing of transmission lines is a complex process, and in the UK
 requires a balance to be struck between statutory obligations, engineering
 requirements, economic viability, land use and the environment.
 Transmission line routeing projects can rightly generate considerable
 public interest and debate, but issues often focus on local effects such
 as visual amenity rather than the wider benefits of the project to society
 as a whole. Given the extent of their public and regulatory scrutiny, the
 environmental statements of such schemes must be objective and transparent
 in the approach adopted to the routeing strategy. The approach outlined is
 based on the premise that the major effect of an overhead transmission
 line is visual and the degree of visual intrusion can be reduced through
 careful routeing.

Title: A Framework for Evaluating Transferable Development Rights Programmes 
Abstract:
  While theoretical aspects of transferable development rights (TDR)
 programmes have been explored, there is little research into programmatic
 elements of successful TDR programmes. The reported research
 systematically analyses characteristics of TDR programmes that correspond
 with successful programme implementation. After describing the basic
 elements of TDR programmes, this paper uses an iterative, case-study
 approach to: (1) identify and classify TDR programmatic characteristics;
 and (2) develop a TDR evaluative framework. This TDR evaluative framework
 is then used to examine three TDR programmes: Manheim Township, PA;
 Montgomery County, MD; and New Jersey Pinelands. A comparison of these
 programmes' strengths and weaknesses, and discussion of their programme
 elements, demonstrate the utility of the TDR evaluative framework for
 analysing TDR and other growth management programmes. Furthermore, the
 analysis reveals that a high degree of knowledge of local land use demands
 and patterns, programme leadership and presence of a TDR bank are
 important for TDR programme success.

Title: How Can Local Environmental Planning Affect Forest Soil Acidity? A Case Study in Stockholm, Sweden 
Abstract:
  The objective of this study is to assess how local planning can influence
 the acidity in the upper forest soil layer. Exceedance of soil acidity was
 determined by a steady-state mass balance model approach in relation to
 both present and future deposition. Future deposition scenarios were
 derived for Stockholm County based on transportation planning. Europe-wide
 scenarios were derived using the RAINS (Regional Air Pollution Information
 and Simulation) model. The deposition changes were assessed in relation to
 two different types of forest harvesting practices: whole-tree harvesting;
 and stem harvesting. The results demonstrate that local emission
 reductions combined with tree stem harvesting give the greatest
 remediation of soil acidity. This implies that forest soil acidity can be
 introduced as an indicator in local environmental planning.

Title: 'Capacity for Change': Testing a Model for the Inclusion of Social Indicators in Australia's National Land and Water Resources Audit 
Abstract:
  The complexity of relationships between social change and natural
 resource management has generated interest in the identification of
 indicators that might provide more streamlined means for monitoring and
 planning. In the case of Australia's National Land and Water Resources
 Audit, interest has focused on the capacity of resource managers to
 implement more sustainable resource-use practices. This paper reports on
 an attempt to develop indicators of 'capacity for change' that are
 statistically reliable and both meaningful and useful to resource managers
 at a variety of scales. It will be argued, however, that social, spatial
 and temporal variability in change processes means that no discrete list
 of social indicators can achieve this task. At the same time that rigorous
 testing is needed to challenge common-sense assumptions about who is
 capable of change and where to target capacity-building programmes, data
 collection and interpretation must be embedded in processes of ongoing
 negotiation and adaptation among all those involved in, or affected by,
 resource management.

Title: The Cost-effectiveness of Biodiversity Management: A Comparison of Farm Types in Extensively Farmed Areas of Scotland 
Abstract:
  The cost-effectiveness of biodiversity management of heather, herb-rich
 grassland and wetland habitats is compared between different farm types in
 the context of the Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) scheme in
 Scotland. Biodiversity is measured at two spatial levels. Costs to the
 public exchequer of habitat management are compared with private costs to
 the farmer. Biodiversity and cost are combined in cost-effectiveness
 ratios. Biodiversity, cost and cost-effectiveness differentials are found
 between farm types for all three habitats. Farms incur negligible
 opportunity costs in the management of all three habitats, implying farmer
 retention of compensating ESA management payments. It is concluded that
 greater account of biodiversity and cost characteristics of entrants to
 agri-environmental schemes would increase the costeffectiveness and
 transparency of schemes, and assist towards scheme assessment at the
 individual farm level.

Title: The Potential of Public Participation Geographic Information Systems in UK Environmental Planning: Appraisals by Active Publics 
Abstract:
  The paper draws on an empirical study of two workshops in which the
 issues that arise from the use of geographic information systems (GIS) as
 a planning tool in public participation settings were explored by local
 residents who take an active interest in local planning matters in their
 London borough. The paper demonstrates how issues concerned with the
 democratization of GIS and public participation GIS (PPGIS) informed the
 structure and conduct of the workshops and the qualitative analysis of the
 workshop discussions. Key themes raised by participants included: the
 potential of PPGIS as a means of extending knowledge networks; issues of
 data ownership and the responsiveness of data providers to public
 concerns; and the role that institutional norms and practices play in
 democratizing information availability and the transparency of the
 decision-making process. The paper concludes that the potential of PPGIS
 as a planning tool cannot be separated from public concerns about the
 legitimacy of the planning process or local government.

Title: Facilitating Sediment Budget Construction for Land Management Applications 
Abstract:
  Sediment budgets describe the production, transport, deposition and
 export of sediment in a catchment, and thus provide information useful for
 planning soil conservation, restoration and monitoring programmes and for
 evaluating existing and future environmental impacts. Five examples from
 New Zealand illustrate a variety of sediment budgeting approaches and
 their use in achieving goals relevant to land-use planning and management.
 Appropriate sediment budgeting strategies can be selected for a particular
 application only through careful consideration of the kinds of decisions
 that will follow from budgeting results. Sediment budget projects can be
 designed to incorporate the close co-operation between technical experts
 and clients that results in the most useful sediment budgets.

Title: The Development of Local Agenda 21 in the Mid-west Region of Ireland: A Case Study in Interactive Research and Indicator Development 
Abstract:
  Local Agenda 21 stresses the importance of local accountability,
 interaction, active citizenship and quality of life. To be effective at
 local and regional levels, sustainability indicators must reflect
 community values, concerns and hopes for the future. Meaningful
 interactive participation in the development of a set of indicators
 demands enduring and effective communication between researchers, policy
 makers and 'user groups'. In 1998 the Centre for Environmental Research,
 University of Limerick, in association with the four main local
 authorities in the Mid-west region of Ireland (Limerick City Council,
 Limerick County Council, Clare County Council and Tipperary County
 Council) commenced a project to promote sustainable development in the
 region. This paper provides a description and critique of a case study in
 the interactive research process as a novel methodology designed to
 encourage active citizenship and participation. Interaction occurred among
 groups representative of the local authorities, the communities and
 university-based researchers. These groups collaborated in the iterative
 selection of a representative set of indicators for application in the
 region, as a prerequisite for incorporating sustainable development into
 local authority decision making. The paper concludes with an evaluation of
 the success of this application of the interactive research process.

Title: Sectoralization of an Integrated Coastal Management Programme: A Case Study in Madagascar 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on integrated environmental management and shows why
 emphasis should be put on implementation issues. The authors take the
 example of integrated coastal management (ICM) and analyse a case study
 they recently conducted in Madagascar, where an ambitious ICM programme is
 being implemented. They explain a strong perverse mechanism called
 sectoralization, which appears to threaten many integration efforts and is
 a good example of what is at stake with the implementation of the
 integration concept. They conclude especially that integrated
 environmental management should not be considered as the only modern form
 of environmental action, and that a certain type of case study is now
 needed to analyse existing environmental management systems before
 designing integration programmes.

Title: The South to North Water Diversions in China: Review and Comments 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a brief review of the South to North Water Diversion
 Project (STNWDP) in China. Basic information about the geography, climate,
 water resource, water pollution and social situation are provided in order
 to understand the decision by the Chinese government on the expedited
 implementation of the STNWDP. The potential problems associated with the
 STNWDP are discussed. It is proposed that the ultimate objective is to
 help improve the water environment in north China, rather than to simply
 meet the ever-increasing water demand and to produce more sewage, and that
 water price, investment policy and engineering operations are important
 for achieving this objective. Legislation is needed in the long run
 because this project involves a large number of districts. The STNWDP,
 together with global climate warming, will enlarge the temporal
 variability of water discharge from the Yangtze into the sea and therefore
 have far-reaching effects on the freshwater resource in areas around the
 Yangtze delta.

Title: Pricing Public Parks 
Abstract:
  Admission prices are typically charged for entry to archaeological sites,
 museums and historic buildings, although rarely to public parks. This
 study explores the feasibility of introducing an entry charge to a public
 park in Naples, the Bosco di Capodimonte. It investigates different
 pricing options: a revenue-maximizing price, a discriminatory price to
 deal with equity, a 'sufficing' price to cover maintenance costs and a
 welfare economic social optimal price. The analysis documents the effect
 of different entry charges on visit numbers and revenue collected, and
 includes a cost-benefit analysis of the admission price policy. Total
 consumer surplus is also calculated for the different entry price
 scenarios.

Title: Farmers' Motivations for Adopting Conservation Practices along Riparian Zones in a Mid-western Agricultural Watershed 
Abstract:
  In the agricultural Mid-west, riparian corridors are vital for protecting
 biodiversity and water quality. The cumulative management decisions of
 hundreds of private landowners have a tremendous impact on this riparian
 zone. This study of 268 farmers in a typical Mid-western watershed in
 Michigan looked at farmer's motivations for adopting conservation
 practices, their current management practices along their rivers and
 drains as well as their future management plans. The results of the study
 showed that farmers are intrinsically motivated to practise conservation
 by such factors as their attachment to their land, rather than by
 motivations such as receiving economic compensation. Farmers are also
 likely to engage in conservation practices that make their farm appear
 well-managed. Furthermore, those farmers with strong intrinsic motivations
 were likely to adopt conservation practices that protect streams, such as
 maintaining a woody vegetative buffer or practicing no-till farming. This
 study shows that protecting riparian resources in agricultural watersheds
 requires strategies for conservation that respect farmers' attachment to
 their land and their desire to practise good stewardship.

Title: Impact of Socio-demographic Factors on Willingness to Pay for the Reduction of a Future Health Risk 
Abstract:
  Knowledge of socio-demographic factors affecting attitudes to and
 perception of risk is an important instrument in enhancing efficiencies of
 interventions. The authors evaluated whether socio-demographic variables
 affected attitudes to an environmental issue (securing future drinking
 water). An important aspect was the delay between time of environmental
 pollution and time of human exposure and thereby potential health risk.
 Gender, education, place of residence and age all influenced the extent to
 which individuals were willing to allocate present resources to alleviate
 a future problem. Specifically, people above the age of 50 appeared more
 reluctant to pay for an intervention against a future potential health
 threat. The authors found a significant correlation between attitude and
 willingness to pay (WTP). In the authors' scenarios, the WTP variable
 worked more as a dichotomous variable than as a continuous variable,
 stressing the importance and relevance of the WTP=0 answers.

Title: Regional Variations in the Implementation of the Local Air Quality Management Process within Great Britain 
Abstract:
  The UK National Air Quality Strategy has required local authorities to
 review and assess air quality in their area of jurisdiction and determine
 locations in their areas where concentrations of specific air quality
 pollutants are predicted to exceed national air quality objectives in the
 future. Statutory air quality management areas (AQMAs) are designated
 where air quality is predicted to be above specified objective
 concentrations by specific target dates, and statutory air quality action
 plans will be necessary to improve the local air quality within these
 areas. Over 124 local authorities in England (including London), Wales and
 Scotland anticipate declaring AQMAs following the conclusion of the
 statutory air quality review and assessment process. However, other
 influences are being exerted on the local air quality management process
 and AQMA decision-making processes. Such influences include regional and
 sub- regional collaborative working between local authorities and
 government agencies and wider political decision-making processes. Some
 regions of Great Britain (encompassing England (including London),
 Scotland and Wales) anticipate many AQMA designations, whilst other
 regions are not anticipating any such designations despite apparently
 similar air quality circumstances. Evidence for regional or sub-regional
 variations in the locations of anticipated AQMAs are examined through an
 evaluation of the outcomes of the scientific review and assessment process
 undertaken by local authorities declaring AQMAs, and through a local
 authority survey to identify influences on decision-making processes at a
 level above that of the local authority. Regional variation is reported in
 the type of pollutant causing AQMAs to be declared, in the numbers of
 AQMAs in regions and in the spatial distribution of AQMAs across Great
 Britain.

Title: Demand for Water-based Leisure Activity 
Abstract:
  This paper reports on the demand for water-based leisure activity in
 Ireland based on data from a nationally representative telephone survey.
 Participation and trip demand are modelled using an augmented Poisson
 count model and consumer surplus welfare estimates are derived. The model
 is also used to investigate the level of social exclusion in water-based
 leisure activity. The demand for four activities is examined: sea angling,
 boating, swimming and other beach/sea/island day-trips. Results indicate
 that Irish rivers, wetlands, estuaries and seas are highly valued, while
 there is some evidence of social exclusion in water-based leisure
 activity.

Title: A Contingent Trip Model for Estimating Rail-trail Demand 
Abstract:
  The authors develop a contingent trip model to estimate the recreation
 demand for and value of a potential rail-trail site in north-east Georgia.
 The contingent trip model is an alternative to travel cost modelling
 useful for ex ante evaluation of proposed recreation resources or
 management alternatives. The authors estimate the empirical demand for
 trips using a negative binomial regression specification. Their findings
 indicate a per-trip consumer surplus ranging from US$18.46 to US$29.23 and
 a price elasticity of m 0.68. In aggregate, they estimate that the
 rail-trail would receive approximately 416 213 recreation visits per year
 by area households and account for a total consumer surplus in excess of
 US$7.5 million.

Title: The Benefits and Costs of Noise Reduction 
Abstract:
  This paper attempts to measure, in a cost-benefit analysis, a stricter
 noise abatement programme for noise originating from roads in Israel.
 Using the hedonic price method for three large cities and rural area
 transactions, a benefit from noise reduction was found. In order to
 perform a social cost-benefit analysis, a measure of benefit has been
 derived for 1 km of road and has been compared with the cost of noise
 reduction under different types of road structure. The results indicate
 that even though benefits have largely increased when compared to past
 decades (e.g. 1.2% of an average urban property value per 1 decibel
 reduction), the decision to insulate a given road is dependent on location
 and road structure. This raises the normative question of a national vs.
 regional standard that decision makers should be aware of and such studies
 could be of help in this respect.

Title: Assessing the Ecological Footprint of a Large Metropolitan Water Supplier: Lessons for Water Management and Planning towards Sustainability 
Abstract:
  Faced with the task of communicating their combined social, environmental
 and economic impact, water service providers are seeking to report overall
 performance in an aggregated way. Such a methodology must be
 scientifically robust, easily communicated and allow benchmarking of
 performance while reflecting a transition towards sustainability. In this
 paper the ecological footprint (EF) is calculated for Sydney Water
 Corporation (SWC), using input-output analysis and land disturbance in an
 innovative approach that overcomes problems identified in the original EF
 concept. This pilot study has allowed SWC to gain some valuable insights
 into its impacts: SWC's annual EF is about 73 100 ha in terms of land
 disturbance. Of this, 54 000 ha are projected to become disturbed as a
 consequence of climate change, with the remainder of 19 100 ha being
 disturbed on SWC's premises (2400 ha) and on those of upstream suppliers
 (16 700 ha). Total on-site impacts equal 9300 ha, while indirect land
 disturb ance contributes 63 600 ha. The EF appears promising as an
 educational and communi cation tool and may have potential as a decision
 support tool. However, further research is needed to incorporate
 downstream impacts into the EF, which would have significant benefits to
 SWC in terms of assessing and communicating the organization's overall
 progress towards sustainability.

Title: A Framework for Geographically Sensitive and Efficient Recycling Networks 
Abstract:
  This paper has three primary objectives. First, it seeks to demonstrate
 that recycling is an important component of sustainable human systems,
 particularly in the case of electronics, where environmental impacts of
 disposal are potentially severe. Second, it presents a methodology that
 could be used to estimate the volumes of electronics or other consumer
 durable goods that are available for recycling. Third and last, it
 illustrates, through a case study of Atlanta focused on computers, that
 metropolitan areas may fruitfully be viewed as opportune centres from
 which to mine, recycle and reuse cast-off electronic goods. From an
 environmental and economic development policy perspective, doing so
 presents an important opportunity to provide new economic opportunities in
 the most distressed portions of metropolitan areas which have been
 disproportionately impacted by previous environmentally destructive
 industrialization practices.

Title: Sustainability-focused Organizational Learning: Recent Experiences and New Challenges 
Abstract:
  To an increasing extent, corporations and smaller businesses are making
 explicit commitments to improved environmental and social performance.
 Some have embraced the goal of sustainability, and some prefer to use the
 term 'triple bottom line'--a balance of financial, social and ecological
 performance--in their operations. Some companies are experimenting with
 organizational learning as a means to accelerate the transition to
 sustainability or the triple bottom line. This fledgling
 combination--sustainability and organizational learning--is the focus of
 this paper. The term 'sustain ability-focused organizational learning'
 (SFOL) is proposed to describe the early experience of companies that are
 attempting to pursue sustainability or the triple bottom line while making
 substantial changes to their organizational cultures. In many instances,
 these changes involve the use of experimental or unconventional learning
 techniques. Some companies are combining their SFOL efforts with The
 Natural Step, a sustainability framework. The experience of five companies
 pursuing SFOL is summarized and analysed in a non-identifying way, and key
 preliminary lessons are discussed.

Title: Outcomes of Collaborative Water Policy Making: Applyxsing Complexity Thinking to Evaluation 
Abstract:
  Collaborative policy making has become increasingly significant in
 environmental management, but it is often evaluated by whether or not
 agreement is reached and implemented. The most important outcomes of such
 policy dialogues are often invisible or undervalued when seen through the
 lens of a traditional, modernist paradigm of government and
 accountability. These dialogues represent a new paradigm of governance
 that can be best understood in the light of a complex adaptive system
 model of society. From this perspective collaborative policy making is a
 way of making a system more flexible, adaptive and intelligent. The
 authors document such outcomes in three cases of water policy making in
 California, including the San Francisco Estuary Project, the CALFED
 Bay-Delta Program and the Sacramento Area Water Forum. The outcomes
 include social and political capital, agreed-on information, the end of
 stalemates, high-quality agreements, learning and change, innovation and
 new practices involving networks and flexibility.

Title: Applying Integrated Resource and Environmental Management to Transmission Right-of-way Maintenance 
Abstract:
  The concept of a substantive integrator is introduced as a method for
 integrated resource and environmental management as a means to assimilate
 different resource values at the operational or field level. A substantive
 integrator is a strategic management tool for integrating multiple uses
 into corporate management regimes that traditionally manage for single
 values. Wildlife habitat management is presented as a substantive
 integrator for managing vegetation on electric utility power line
 corridors. A case study from northern British Columbia provides an example
 of wildlife habitat management as a means to integrate other resource
 values such as aesthetics, access and subsistence along British Columbia
 Hydro and Power Authority's transmission rights-of-way.

Title: The Importance of Process in Ecosystem Management: Lessons from the Lachlan Catchment, New South Wales, Australia 
Abstract:
  Effective river management requires integration of biophysical and human
 dimensions of the ecosystem, which in turn involves the development of new
 forms of decision-making processes and institutional frameworks. In New
 South Wales, institutional changes to river management have been
 formalized in the Water Management Act 2000. This paper presents the
 findings of a case study that investigated decision-making processes in
 the establishment of environmental flow regimes for the Lachlan River in
 western New South Wales. The study was based on document analysis,
 observation and interviews with members and support staff of a
 stakeholder-based river management committee. The findings of the study
 highlight social capital, adaptive management and consensus decision
 making as key components in establishing environmental flow regimes as
 part of a participatory approach to river management.

Title: Analysis of Ecological Context for Identifying Vegetation and Animal Conservation Planning Foci: An Example from the Arid South-western USA 
Abstract:
  In developing conservation strategies, it is important to maximize
 effects of conservation within a specified land tract and to maximize
 conservation effects on surrounding area (ecological context). The authors
 proposed two criteria to select biotic entities for conservation foci: (1)
 the relative occurrence of fauna or flora in a tract is greater than that
 of an ecological context region; and (2) occurrence of the fauna or flora
 is relatively limited in the ecological context region. Using extensive
 spatial data on vegetation and wildlife habitat distribution, the authors
 identified strategic vegetation and fauna conservation foci for the 400
 000 ha Fort Bliss military reservation in New Mexico and Texas relative to
 a 164 km radius ecological context region intersecting seven ecological
 zones and the predicted habitat distribution of 616 animal species. The
 authors set two specific criteria: (1) predicted area of a species'
 occurrence is &#x3c;50% of the ecological context region; and (2)
 percentage of Fort Bliss intersecting the species' or vegetation community
 predicted areas in the ecological context region is &#x3e;5% (Fort Bliss
 is 4.2% of the region). These criteria selected one vegetation class and
 40 animal species. Further, these vegetation and animal foci were
 primarily located in two areas of Fort Bliss. Sensitivity analyses with
 other analytical radii corroborated the context radius used. Conservation
 of the two areas and associated taxa will maximize the contribution of
 Fort Bliss's conservation efforts in its ecological proximity. This
 relatively simple but information-rich process represents economical and
 defensible preliminary contextual analysis for detailed conservation
 planning.

Title: Quantifying Long-term Environmental Regulatory Risk for Brownfields: Are Reopeners Really an Issue? 
Abstract:
  Brownfields are potentially contaminated sites that often present
 economic development opportunities that require financing. State
 environmental voluntary clean-up programmes (VCPs) offer closure letters
 as a way for developers to obtain assurance that their clean-up was
 completed properly and is 'bankable'. However, there is still fear among
 lenders about the potential for these closed remediated sites to be
 reopened and therefore negatively affect the value of the real estate as
 collateral. While it is believed to be an infrequent act, there has been
 no comprehensive study of reopeners, and therefore of the effectiveness of
 VCPs available. This study seeks to quantify the incidence of reopeners in
 the USA through a systematic inventory of VCP administrators. The authors
 initially find that among the 46 states with VCPs, only 12 cases were
 reopened out of 11 497 closed environmental cases, a reopener rate of
 between 0.1% and 0.2%. However, reopener rates may increase with more
 vigorous enforcement and over the passage of time. This information means
 that brownfield deals can go forward with confidence, and that the risk of
 reopeners can now be quantified, allowing cheaper insurance and more
 assurance that negative outcomes can be avoided.

Title: The Environmental Appraisal of National Park Management Plans in England and Wales 
Abstract:
  The Countryside Agency has recommended that national park authorities
 (NPAs) undertake an environmental appraisal of their national park
 management plans. A study of the appraisal practices of the NPAs of
 England and Wales has shown that, despite this guidance, the practice of
 environmental appraisal is uncommon but that a culture of applying
 sustainability appraisal is evolving. It is argued that the most likely
 explanation for this situation is the increasing influence of the concept
 of sustainable development on the workings of the national park management
 system. This broad policy development has manifested itself in a variety
 of ways, including the production of government guidance relating to
 sustainability appraisal and changes in best practice, each of which have
 influenced appraisal procedures in national parks. The wider implications
 of, and drivers behind, the evolution of appraisal procedure towards
 sustainability appraisal are thus identified and then discussed.

Title: Attitudes and Behavioural Change in Household Waste Management Behaviours 
Abstract:
  This paper reviews antecedent factors to household waste management
 recycling and composting behaviours, showing that negative perceptions
 about those activities or barriers to performing those activities are
 common discriminants of behaviour in those activities. Emphasis is then
 placed on how such perceptions can differ between those who have recently
 taken up the activities and those who have not, and between those formerly
 participating but who have now dropped out and those still continuing to
 participate. A case study is presented focusing on home composting.
 Results show that there may be two distinct classes of antecedent
 attitudes: convenience factors such as time and effort, which may play
 little part in initiation but can reinforce persistence; and attitudes of
 predisposition such as perceptions of vermin and fly problems, waste
 requirements and aesthetics, which can inhibit initiation. The study also
 shows how initial experience quickly sets attitudes that are stably
 maintained into the longer term, unless subsequent specific adverse
 experiences are encountered, when attitudes may weaken and drop-out might
 occur. The implications for waste management planning are discussed.

Title: Information Management for Public Participation in Co-design Processes: Evaluation of a Dutch Example 
Abstract:
  Impact assessment and project appraisal are taking a participatory track
 but the potential gain from the information, creativity and values
 stakeholders bring to the process is seldom realized. At issue is the
 design and preliminary screening of alternatives, which remains the domain
 of experts: designers, architects and engineers. The authors were involved
 in a participatory 'quick scan' project around the passage of a new
 high-speed rail line in which participants were actively involved in
 generating and screening alternatives. In this case study report they will
 show that deliberate information management in the design and evaluation
 of alternatives offers potential for better outcomes, but that the absence
 of stimulation of participant creativity and insufficient embedding of the
 participatory process in the larger political setting may prevent this.

Title: The Role of Civic Environmentalism in the Pursuit of Sustainable Communities 
Abstract:
  This paper addresses public participation in sustainability initiatives
 and in the development of sustainable communities. In particular, it
 examines two models of public participation in environmental policy,
 referred to as 'information deficit models', and 'deliberative and
 inclusionary processes and procedures' (DIPS). The difference between the
 two models will be examined through the framework of the US discourse of
 'civic environmentalism'. Using both examples and an analysis of recent
 literature, a distinction between 'narrow focus' and 'broad focus' civic
 environmentalism will be presented. It is argued that 'information deficit
 models' of public participation usually associated with 'narrow focus'
 civic environmentalism can successfully contribute to the 'environmental'
 aspects of sustainable communities. The paper concludes that DIPS and the
 greater sharing of control by citizens, non-governmental organizations and
 local governments offered by 'broad focus' civic environmentalism, are far
 more likely to result in a greater social capital, and a holistic
 appreciation of the inextricable links between environmental, social and
 economic characteristics of sustainable communities.

Title: Applying the Precautionary Principle in Environmental Assessment: The Case of Reviews in British Columbia 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the application of the precautionary principle in
 environmental assessment, specifically using the Salmon Aquaculture Review
 and the Burns Bog Ecosystem Review in British Columbia as case studies.
 Lessons are drawn and advice is offered. A conceptual model is presented,
 framed according to the level of uncertainty regarding impacts and the
 likelihood of those impacts, as well as the irreversibility of impacts on
 the environmental system. A distinction is made between management
 strategies that should either avoid the activities in question or allow
 for adaptive management and, if implemented effectively, prevent or
 mitigate adverse effects. Applying the precautionary principle in
 environmental assessment requires, above all, clear communication and the
 development of a common understanding of the basis for decisions. The
 model presented in this paper is suggested as a tool from which a more
 specific methodological framework can be developed on a case by case
 basis.

Title: Reuse or Burn? Evaluating the Producer Responsibility of Waste Paper 
Abstract:
  In 1992, Sweden introduced a producer responsibility ordinance which
 explicitly states that sorted out, collected waste paper must be material
 recycled. Another alternative could be to recover energy by incineration.
 Material recycling was prioritized, although there is no environmental
 consensus favouring either of the alternatives. By calculating shadow
 prices of waste paper for the paper industry and for the heating plants,
 this study tries to determine whether waste paper should be partly
 incinerated. The study also addresses whether the producer responsibility
 has contributed to an inefficient allocation of waste paper. The results
 find no economic support for the producer responsibility.

Title: Perceptions about Environmental Use and Future Restoration of an Urban Estuary 
Abstract:
  Recent interest in restoring urban ecosystems has engendered studies on
 public perceptions of these ecosystems and future land use. This paper
 examines the perceptions of people using the waterfront area of the New
 York/New Jersey harbour estuary about their use of the area, and how this
 environment could be improved. Pollution was viewed as the most important
 problem in New Jersey, and removing pollution was rated the most important
 way to improve the waterfront habitat. Using the remaining undeveloped
 area for natural habitat and to improve quality of life were rated as the
 most important uses of the waterfront. People valued the waterfront for
 walking, providing open green space, and as a place to commune with nature
 without people. Management options people favoured were removing pollution
 and cleaning up rubbish and adding educational signs and information
 brochures about the remaining, natural habitat. Age, income and education
 influenced which activities people said they undertook. For improvements
 to the waterfront: Hispanics rated adding educational signs and creating
 information brochures higher, Blacks rated building promenades as more
 important, and Asians and Whites rated improving habitat for birds and
 butterflies more important than others. The data indicate that the public
 has a firm understanding of the big picture (pollution in the region and
 locally), habitat improvement, and of the small improvements that can be
 done locally. Planners and managers could move forward on three fronts:
 source reduction, wildlife habitat improvement, and amenity (signs,
 brochures, cleaning up rubbish) development. Understanding how people use
 an environment, and wish to improve it, can provide valuable information
 for future restoration and management of urban environments generally, as
 well as for structuring a citizen advisory committee.

Title: Legitimation Struggles in National Park Spaces: The Banff Bow Valley Round Table 
Abstract:
  This paper presents an in-depth analysis of a multi-stakeholder process,
 the Banff Bow Valley Round Table (BBVRT) convened by a federally appointed
 task force in 1995 to provide public input and participation in the Banff
 Bow Valley Study (BBVS). The purpose of this initiative was to address
 environmental concerns and conflict over governance, development and
 growth in Banff National Park, Canada. A key finding from the analysis
 discussed in this paper is how various participants struggled for
 legitimation at the negotiation table, and how the discourses of science
 and instrumental reason served to empower certain interests and agendas in
 the process. While the discursive appropriation of ecological science
 enabled some interests to dominate and to legitimize their concerns, this
 strategy may have intangible and costly consequences for consensus-based
 processes and for society overall. Analysis of these discursive struggles
 demonstrates the challenge of bringing ecology and the general public to
 the same negotiating table in a meaningful way. It shows the conflicting
 roles and identities of environmental groups who aspire to re-present
 nature (as a stakeholder) at the negotiating table. Recommendations for
 multi-stakeholder processes in planning and governance of national parks
 are presented, along with social implications in the context of historic
 human-environment dualism and conflict.

Title: Revised Agri-environment Policy Objectives: Implications for Scheme Design 
Abstract:
  The new objectives for agri-environment policy recommended by the Policy
 Commission for the Future of Food and Farming are reviewed and proposals
 to achieve them are assessed. The Commission proposes a unified scheme,
 with a 'broad and shallow' tier that would incorporate a whole-farm
 environmental plan and audit. Participation at this level would be a
 prerequisite for entry into higher tiers focused on securing regional and
 national ecological, landscape and bio-diversity priorities. However, the
 Commission recognizes that further resource protection measures need to be
 developed to substantiate its design, particularly to enable the delivery
 of 'wider bio-diversity and landscape benefits'. Innovations in addition
 to those recommended by the Policy Commission are advocated here. These
 include adding Cultural options and a two-option Enhanced Level tier. The
 specifications of the first Enhanced Level option would be based on each
 farm's Sustainability Index Score. The second option would overcome the
 'economics of configuration' problem by encouraging farmers to co-operate
 to deliver environmental outputs as members of 'environmental clubs'. The
 possibility of using web-based technology to increase the transparency of
 agri-environmental payments is also discussed. The design proposed here
 streamlines, simplifies and increases the efficiency of the existing
 agri-environment schemes.

Title: Nitrate transport in shallow groundwater at the stream-riparian interface in an urbanizing catchment 
Abstract:
  Drive point peizometers were installed at the stream-riparian interface
 in a small urbanizing southern Ontario catchment to measure the effect of
 buffers (presence/ absence) and land use (urban/agricultural) on the
 movement of NO-3-N in shallow groundwater from the riparian area to the
 stream. Mean NO-3-N concentrations ranged from 1.0 to 1.3 mg L-1 with
 maximum values of 9.4 mg L-1. Holding land use constant, there was no
 significant difference (p&#x3e;0.05) in NO-33-N concentration between
 buffered and unbuffered sites. Nitrate-N levels were not significantly
 different (p&#x3e;0.05) as a function of land use. The lack of difference
 between sites as a function of buffer absence/presence and land use is
 probably due to the placement of some peizometers in low conductivity
 materials that limited groundwater flow from the riparian zone to the
 stream. Subsurface factors controlling the hydraulic gradient are
 important in defining buffer effectiveness and buffer zones should not be
 used indiscrim inately as a management tool in urban and agricultural
 landscapes to control nitrate-N loading in shallow groundwater to streams
 without detailed knowledge of the hydrogeo logic environment.

Title: Diffusion of US army chemical weapons disposal technologies: public perception of technology attributes 
Abstract:
  This study was conducted to identify factors that influence individuals'
 acceptance of environmental management technologies for cleaning up
 hazardous materials. The study sample consisted of approximately 2600
 residents living within emergency response zones surrounding eight US
 Army's Chemical Weapons Stockpile sites. The findings suggest that
 residents perceive clear differences between the desirable characteristics
 of the two technologies: incineration and neutralization. In a relative
 comparison, the majority of positive technological attributes were
 associated with incineration. Positive perceptions toward incineration
 were associated with individuals who trust the Army, who perceive that the
 media have made them more trusting of weapons disposal activities, who are
 ready to participate, and who are male. Unlike incineration, there was
 insufficient evidence that individual factors influence variations in
 perceptions toward neutralization. No community factor was related to
 perceptions toward either incineration or neutralization.

Title: An institutional framework for analysis of voluntary policy: the case of voluntary environmental agreements in Kita Kyushu, Japan 
Abstract:
  This paper seeks to understand the effect of social, economic and
 political conditions on the selection and effectiveness of voluntary
 policy in Japan. Borrowing from two sets of literature, the paper develops
 a two-dimensional framework for analysis of voluntary policy that helps
 clarify the contextual factors that determine voluntary policy choice and
 effectiveness. The establishment of voluntary agreements in Japan are then
 investigated and the specific experiences of one Japanese city's
 experience, Kita Kyushu. Findings show that insufficient national and
 local statutory regulations, local citizen pressure resulting from
 significant pollution problems, city-controlled non-regulatory resources,
 and local level regulatory power determined Kita Kyushu's policy choice
 and the resulting effectiveness of voluntary environmental agreements.
 Findings then indicate where the Japanese experience falls within the
 framework. The usefulness of the framework for analysis and practice is
 then reinforced, and challenges for some of the basic assumptions of
 current theory are suggested.

Title: Incorporating sustainable development concerns into an urban regeneration project: how politics can defeat procedures 
Abstract:
  It is often thought that new procedural arrangements can help embed
 sustainable development as a policy goal into policy practice. This is the
 hope of tools such as environmental assessment, sustainability audits and
 sustainability indicators. Using a case study of urban regeneration in the
 London Borough of Southwark, this paper critically examines these claims.
 It shows how sustainable development was sidelined as a policy goal during
 the evaluation of the Master Plan for the area, the appraisal of
 individual projects for funding under the Single Regeneration Budget and
 the development of two local sustainability indicator projects. In each
 case the local political circumstances were key factors in shaping policy
 practice and outcomes. This leads to a re-evaluation of such procedural
 policy tools, emphasizing the importance of local governance contexts.

Title: Wind power planning in three Swedish municipalities 
Abstract:
  The aim of the paper is to compare the planning for wind power in three
 municipalities and analyze how it has influenced three important aspects
 of the wind power development: the siting of turbines, the ownership of
 turbines and citizen participation. The paper shows that the planning
 strategies of the municipalities differed considerably and that this in
 turn has led to differences in the development of wind power. A general
 conclusion is that there seems to be a dilemma in municipal planning
 between, on the one hand, the promotion of wind power and, on the other
 hand, the organization of a planning that effectively regulates the siting
 of turbines and allows for citizen participation. The results show that
 there is a need to support and strengthen municipal planning capacities,
 and efforts in that direction are being undertaken by state and regional
 authorities in Sweden. The results, however, also imply the need for
 stronger policy measures in order to avoid large differences between the
 way wind power is handled at the municipal level.

Title: Visitor payback: panacea or pandora's box for conservation in the UK? 
Abstract:
  This paper assesses the efficacy and relevance of visitor payback as a
 tool for recreation management in the UK. Visitor payback is essentially a
 voluntary payment made by visitors towards conservation, differing
 significantly from the compulsory tourist or bed tax practised in other
 countries. Attention has recently focused on this technique as a means to
 supplement the limited funds available for conservation work. However,
 whilst there are several schemes operating in the UK, there is a dearth of
 published research that has critically reviewed the concept and
 operationalization of visitor payback. The research reported here utilizes
 primary and secondary data to include case studies, semi-structured
 interviews and focus groups. The findings reveal that visitor payback is a
 complex concept to evaluate, both in theory and practice, involving a
 range of benefits and disbenefits. Financial benefits appear less
 prevalent than the more esoteric 'feel good' factor, increased awareness
 about conservation and partnerships that are evident in payback schemes.
 Support for visitor payback varies considerably with visitors strongly
 receptive, whilst the tourism business interests are more cautious. It is
 concluded that visitor payback needs to be re-conceptualized in more
 positive terms as a 'visitor investment scheme' where conservation takes
 precedence over financial considerations. Further research is required to
 try and demystify the tourism business resistance to visitor payback as
 its potential seems somewhat constrained in the present climate.

Title: Waste recovery using packaging waste recovery notes: a cost-effective way of meeting targets? 
Abstract:
  To comply with EU recycling targets for packaging waste, the UK relies on
 an industry run and market based eco-tax levied by reprocessors on
 obligated businesses. After examining the details of this approach, the
 use of Packaging Waste Recovery Notes is assessed in terms of its
 allocative impact and the contribution made to eco-efficiency. The
 evidence indicates the UK system has minimized the cost of delivering
 current EU targets, but has not been able to deliver allocative efficiency
 or to demonstrate dynamic improvements in resource use. Its effectiveness
 in meeting impending higher targets remains open to question.

Title: POLICY AND PRACTICE: Planning and the European union water framework directive 
Abstract:
  This paper is concerned with stimulating debate amongst land-use planning
 practitioners and researchers in relation to the possible consequences of
 the European Union Water Framework Directive. The potentially far-reaching
 ramifications for the Town and Country Planning system in England and
 Wales are examined in detail, presenting the case that planning, at all
 spatial scales, may have to give both water and environmental concerns
 greater consideration than has hitherto been the case. Furthermore, in the
 imminent future the planning system will need to begin the process of
 formulating policies in line with the aspirations of the Directive.

Title: Values Suitability Analysis: A Methodology for Identifying and Integrating Public Perceptions of Ecosystem Values in Forest Planning 
Abstract:
  National forest planning cannot resolve all resource management issues
 but improved planning methods can more fully engage the public and lead to
 better public participation in decision making. This paper presents a
 planning methodology known as 'values suitability analysis' (VSA) that
 combines the features of expanded public participation with a rational,
 analytic framework for incorporating human values into forest plan
 decision making. The VSA methodology provides a means to evaluate and
 compare how 'logically consistent' potential management prescriptions (set
 of activities) are with publicly held forest values. Based on a spatial
 inventory of ecosystem values, the VSA methodology constructs a numerical
 rating, or set of ratings, for each management prescription and ecosystem
 value interaction. These ratings are used to determine (1) which
 management prescription is most compatible with the dominant ecosystem
 value within a given management area, as well as (2) the marginal
 difference in overall compatibility between alternative management
 prescriptions. The VSA methodology can be used to generate forest plan
 alternatives or serve as a benchmark to evaluate different forest plan
 alternatives. The adoption of VSA may be hampered by lack of trust and
 other institutional issues.

Title: The Value of Countryside Access: A Contingent Valuation Survey of Visitors to the Ridgeway National Trail in the United Kingdom 
Abstract:
  A contingent valuation survey of users of the 140 km Ridgeway National
 Trail was undertaken to estimate the value that users place on access to
 the Trail. The survey found that users had a mean willingness to pay for
 access to the Ridgeway of &#xa3;1.24 per visit (&#xa3;1.13- &#xa3;1.36 95%
 Confidence Limits). With around 150 000 visits to the Ridgeway each year,
 this gives an estimated annual aggregate benefit of &#xa3;186 000
 (&#xa3;169 500- &#xa3;204 000 95% Confidence Limits) plus the economic
 benefits to local economies of visitor spending of some &#xa3;0.8 million.
 This compares with the costs of Trail maintenance of around &#xa3;154 000
 per year. The development of National Trails in England for recreation and
 tourism is also discussed.

Title: The Effectiveness of the UK Landfill Tax 
Abstract:
  This review of the UK's landfill tax generates two main contributions to
 our understanding of waste management in the UK. First, the review
 identifies areas in which the tax is least effective and considers policy
 implications associated with this. In particular, the tax has failed to
 significantly change the behaviour of domestic waste producers and SMEs.
 Second, it identifies continued information gaps that might be addressed.
 In particular, the landfill tax is intended to contribute to a transition
 away from landfilling of waste, towards recovery, recycling, re-use and
 waste minimization. This review of available evidence finds that there is
 reasonable data to monitor progress towards recycling, but not for re-use
 or waste minimization.

Title: The Use of Ecologically Based Screening Criteria in a Community-sponsored Open Space Preservation Programme 
Abstract:
  The Meridian Township Land Preservation Programme is the first
 community-sponsored, open space and natural areas preservation programme
 in Michigan using ecological principles in the ranking of properties for
 acquisition. The programme was established through a collaborative,
 multi-stakeholder effort that resulted in a model ordinance, operating
 procedures, guidelines for landowners to nominate their properties for
 consideration, and a set of criteria for property selection. The screening
 criteria include ecological value, natural or functional value, parcel
 size, surrounding land use, environmental quality, and aesthetic value.
 The criteria were developed to reflect principles established by landscape
 ecology and land conservation objectives to maintain a maximum degree of
 biodiversity and to develop, manage and maintain ecological infrastructure
 through management of protected areas. The programme is entirely funded
 through a local millage, which will raise nearly $10 million over 10
 years. The target for acquisition of open space is approximately 10% of
 the currently undeveloped parcels in the township.

Title: Metaphors for Reflecting on Research Practice: Researching with People 
Abstract:
  There are renewed demands for transparency and stakeholder participation
 in environmental planning and management. Research is a generic form of
 practice common to many professions. Appreciating the position of the
 researcher and reflecting on research practice can enhance its
 transparency. The case is presented for considering underlying metaphors
 as a way of making understandings explicit, transparent and structured, so
 as to enhance reflection on research practice. Metaphors can be explored,
 either individually or jointly, and learning opportunities can come from
 the exploration and awareness of alternative metaphors. Four metaphors
 have been chosen to reflect on research practice: research-as-action,
 research-as-narrative, research-as-facilitation and
 research-as-responsible. These metaphors define various roles relevant to
 researching with people and seem powerful ways of discussing what
 researching or planning with people might entail, and how to include the
 position of the researcher/planner in reflective practice. Whilst the
 primary concern is with research practice, the arguments might equally
 apply to other forms of practice such as planning, managing, advising or
 regulating.

Title: Public Participation in Natural Hazard Mitigation Policy Formation: Challenges for Comprehensive Planning 
Abstract:
  Democratic theory holds that active participation in governmental
 planning and decision making is critical to furthering the public
 interest. As a result, public participation in urban planning in the US is
 arguably the most extensive and intensive in the world. Required by
 federal, state and local laws, citizen involvement is a staple of local
 plan making. However, as this paper shows, citizen interest in
 participating in the formulation of hazard mitigation policies in
 comprehensive plans is low, despite mounting evidence of perils to life
 and property from floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. Using evidence from
 case studies in Florida and Washington, the causes of disinterest are
 dissected and ways to increase public input to hazard mitigation policies
 in local comprehensive plans are recommended.

Title: Adaptation of a Storm Drainage System to Accommodate Increased Rainfall Resulting from Climate Change 
Abstract:
  Extreme rainfalls in southern Ontario may increase significantly as a
 result of climate change. This study was designed to determine the impact
 of a 15% increase in design rainfall intensities on drainage of a typical
 urban catchment and to investigate adaptive measures. A calibrated model
 (PCSWMM 2000) was used to: (1) determine the system performance under
 current and climate-changed design rainfalls; and (2) calculate the
 magnitudes of various adaptive measures required to reduce the peak
 discharge to current levels. For this type of catchment, effective
 retrofit options that provide the required peak discharge reductions
 included downspout disconnection (50% of connected roofs), increased
 depression storage (by 45 m3/impervious hectare), and increased street
 detention storage (by 40m3/impervious hectare).

Title: Reinsurer Opinions of Environmental Management Systems Concerning Insurance for Pollution 
Abstract:
  Despite an increasing interest in reinsurance and environmental manage
 ment systems (EMSs) concerning pollution, little research has been
 conducted on the subject. This paper presents the findings from a survey
 of reinsurers' views on this issue. Reinsurers give EMSs a cursory
 consideration in their pollution risk assessments because they
 inadequately appraise pollution liability, have no explicit requirements
 regarding risk management and there is little evidence to show that they
 are effective at reducing environmental risks. Reinsurers' underwriting
 assessments and post-loss investigations are poorly developed concerning
 public liability insurance. Reinsurance and EMSs are currently weak
 methods to prevent and control pollution risks.

Title: Steps Towards Integrating Carbon Dioxide Sources and Sinks into Local Environmental Planning 
Abstract:
  Anthropogenic carbon dioxide balancing can be evaluated by counting the
 amount of emissions and the sinks that absorb and release carbon. Local
 level planning can affect the emission-sinks balance. However when trying
 to meet international goals, it seems that local government mainly
 considers emission reduction and not sink losses. This paper investigates
 the implications of using carbon dioxide emissions and forest ecosystems
 as sinks in Swedish municipal planning. The results demonstrate how
 emission reduction can be offset by the losses in sinks derived by land
 use and transportation planning. This moves local government further away
 from achieving the national emission reduction goal. The results also show
 a potential for carbon trading between municipalities.

Title: Examining the Effects of Biodiversity on the Ability of Local Plans to Manage Ecological Systems 
Abstract:
  The protection of biological diversity (hereafter biodiversity) is
 considered one of the fundamental goals for the sustainable management of
 ecological systems. This paper examines how existing levels of
 biodiversity influence ecosystem capabilities at the local level.
 Specifically, it tests the effects of biodiversity and the degree of
 threat to biodiversity on the quality of local comprehensive plans in
 Florida as measured by the ability to manage ecosystems. Regression
 analysis indicates that high biodiversity does not stimulate planners to
 adopt higher quality plans. Instead, human disturbance or threats to
 existing levels of biodiversity are the most significant factors in
 driving ecosystem plan quality. Based on the results, the paper discusses
 implications for policy and suggests recommendations to improve proactive
 planning practices associated with managing ecological systems over the
 long term.

Title: Critical Factors and Evaluation Criteria for Habitat Translocation 
Abstract:
  Habitat translocation is the process of moving soils or substrates with
 their vegetation and any animals that remain associated with them in order
 to rescue or salvage habitats that would be lost due to changes in land
 use, or to restore biodiversity to damaged, degraded or newly created
 sites. Critical factors are similarity in the environmental context of the
 donor and receptor sites, the translocation technique, and habitat
 management of the translocated habitat. These critical factors should be
 taken into account in such a way that the risk of unwanted changes to a
 habitat due to translocation is reduced to a level that takes account of
 its nature conservation value. Long-term habitat management and monitoring
 schemes need to be implemented fully to obtain the biodiversity benefits
 of translocation. Evaluation of the degree of success or failure against
 the original aims of the translocation project over a defined period of
 time requires objective criteria and repeatable measurements that can be
 confirmed independently of the project team. Codes of best practice
 covering guidelines and standards for habitat translocation are required
 which will benefit both business and industry and the planning and
 regulatory authorities.

Title: Recreational Rates and Future Land Use Preferences for Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory Facility 
Abstract:
  To manage ecosystems it is essential to understand physical properties
 and biological function, as well as the ecological services and
 social/cultural perceptions of a variety of stakeholders. Where land
 managers are required to make decisions about restoration, remediation and
 future land use, understanding attitudes and future land use preferences
 is essential. In this paper I synthesize data on five surveys of
 recreational rates and preferences for future land use for the Department
 of Energy's Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory
 (INEEL). Subjects were interviewed at several well-attended events at
 different distances from INEEL, representing local and regional views.
 Between 24 and 59% of the subjects hunted, between 55 and 71% fished, and
 up to 87% camped, indicating potential for exposure if INEEL were open for
 recreation. Average recreational rates varied by location, with the
 Shoshone-Bannock Indians having higher hunting, fishing, hiking and
 camping rates than all others. There were significant differences in
 future land use preferences; subjects living close to the site rated
 nuclear material processing very high, while those living farther away
 ranked it intermediate. Indians ranked this use the lowest. Using the land
 as a National Environmental Research Park (NERP) was rated the highest (or
 nearly the highest) for all groups. Industrial uses were generally rated
 low by all groups. These data can be used by local planners and policy
 makers in decision making regarding levels of clean-up, future land use,
 future end-states and long-term protection and stewardship of these
 contaminated lands. The relative unanimity in future land use preferences
 for NERP and recreation, rather than new industrial purposes, provides
 guidance for remediation, suggesting that residential clean-up standards
 may be more stringent than required. Further, the relative approval of
 continued nuclear reprocessing (but not nuclear storage) also provides
 guidance for risk-based end-state planning.

Title: Ecological Sustainability in Greek Agriculture: An Application of Energy Flow Approach 
Abstract:
  This study uses an energy flow approach to investigate the ecological
 sustainability of Greek agriculture. The approach is based on the analysis
 of ratios of energy output and energy input over a long period of time.
 Structural changes in land use in Greek agriculture were observed over the
 period 1961-98. There was an increasing trend in consumption of energy
 input in Greek agriculture throughout the period 1961 to 1998 as a result
 of diffusion of capital intensive technology. High growth in the
 production of energy output of cereals and vegetables was observed during
 the same period. The total energy output flow had a sharp increasing trend
 during 1961 to 1991, thereafter it declined slightly until 1998. The ratio
 analysis showed that the Greek agricultural system is ecologically
 sustainable as the energy output exceeded the amount of conventional
 energy required to produce it.

Title: The Determinants of Mining Company Response to Environmental Approvals Regulation: A Report of Australian Research 
Abstract:
  Companies react in different ways to environmental regulation. A
 prevailing view in the literature suggests that external factors,
 particularly stakeholder groups, exert the most influence on the
 environmental responses of firms. This paper reports on research that
 examines the influence of a range of possible determinants, both internal
 and external, on the way Australian mining companies respond to
 environmental approvals regulation. External pressures included
 stakeholder pressure, jurisdictional culture and market characteristics,
 and internal pressures included organizational culture, organizational
 learning, the influence of individuals within firms and company size. The
 study found that the internal pressures of organizational culture,
 organiza tional learning and the influence of individuals exert the
 greatest influence on mining company response to environmental approvals
 regulation. These results suggest that existing explanations of corporate
 environmental behaviour, which emphasize external factors, should be
 complemented by a focus on the internal dynamics of firms.

Title: Climate Change and Planning and Consultation for the UK Aviation White Paper 
Abstract:
  This note discusses environmental aspects of the planning and
 consultation process undertaken for the UK aviation White Paper. The
 process as a whole has involved some three years of forecasting and
 assessment of the operational, economic and environmental implications of
 some 28 options for airport expansion at 14 UK locations. Unconstrained
 passenger demand forecasts have been used as a basis for the planning and
 consultation, and a mitigation approach to environment has predominated.
 This is inadequate, given the climate impacts of the forecast aviation
 expansion. Greenhouse gas emissions reduction should be a high priority in
 transport infrastructure planning, not the subject of post-hoc analysis.

Title: Exclusion: the necessary difference between ideal and practical consensus 
Abstract:
  Consensus building has become an everyday activity in environmental
 planning and management, and its use is often held to be a symbol of a
 fair, transparent and fully participative process. However, this paper
 argues that in any real situation practical constraints and tensions
 between different goals lead almost inevitably to compromises in the
 ideals of inclusivity and non-coercion. This gap between ideal and
 practical consensus is opened by a range of practices which exclude
 potential participants, interests, issues, actions and/or substantive
 outcomes. The paper contends that insufficient attention is paid by
 practitioners and researchers to these shifts, which are often confused or
 masked by a rhetoric of ideal consensus. It is concluded that
 practitioners need to reflect critically on these questions of exclusion,
 so that the necessary but difficult judgements involved in designing
 practical consensus building processes can be made transparently, and in
 ways which do not undermine the processes' legitimacy.

Title: Utility of interactive computer-based materials for enhancing public participation 
Abstract:
  Citizen involvement in environmental policy setting is important for
 insuring policy viability. However, traditional public meetings are
 criticized for being an ineffective means of conveying information,
 especially for complex policy issues such as watershed management. An
 interactive technology-based approach to public meetings provides a
 promising alternative. This pilot study compares knowledge, commitment and
 satisfaction levels of two groups of participants at a watershed meeting:
 one group attended a traditional meeting format and the other attended a
 technology-based format. Group survey results show technology-based
 participants report a higher level of meeting satisfaction and a stronger
 influence of the meeting on watershed attitudes. Comparisons of knowledge
 and commitment levels may require a multiple meeting format to highlight
 group differences.

Title: Urban structure matters, even in a small town 
Abstract:
  A recent study in Frederikshavn, Denmark, shows that urban structural
 variables influence travel behaviour, even in a small town of around 30
 000 inhabitants. As might be expected, socio-economic and attitudinal
 factors play a role in the respondents' travelling patterns. However, when
 controlling for these factors and a range of other potential explanatory
 variables, clear relationships are also found between urban structural
 characteristics and travel activity. These relationships exist across most
 subgroups of the population. The statistical relationships found between
 urban structure and travel behaviour are confirmed in qualitative
 interviews. The distance from the residence to the downtown area is a key
 factor influencing the accessibility to a number of facilities. These
 differences in accessibility result in corresponding differences in the
 actual travelling distances and modal split.

Title: The role of collaboration in environmental management: an evaluation of land and resource planning in British Columbia 
Abstract:
  Recent literature on land-use planning proposes the use of innovative
 collaborative planning (CP) models to resolve planning disputes. This
 paper uses a participant survey based on 25 evaluative criteria to
 evaluate an application of CP to land-use planning in British Columbia,
 Canada. The results show that CP is an effective means of resolving
 environmental conflict and produces significant additional benefits such
 as improved stakeholder relations, skills, and knowledge. The case study
 evaluation also identifies the keys to successful CP management including
 factors related to process design and external circumstances.

Title: A hedonic model of public market transactions for open space protection 
Abstract:
  A hedonic price function is estimated that illustrates how the price per
 acre of open space paid by public buyers such as counties or land trusts,
 is influenced by local demand and supply factors. The empirical regression
 model is illustrated using 133 public transactions (73% are purchases and
 27% are easements) of open space in the Front Range of Colorado. The mean
 price per acre was $13 635. If a property provides access to water bodies,
 this feature increases the price per acre by $937, while adjacency of the
 parcel to existing park or open space adds $11 039 an acre. A 1% increase
 in county population results in a 0.27% increase in price per acre.
 Easements cost $6783 less than purchases, a sizeable cost saving. The
 prediction capability of the hedonic price equation may be an alternative
 to traditional real estate appraisal techniques when agencies must
 determine fair market values of prospective open space parcels that vary
 in attributes from existing ones.

Title: The use of residential water consumption as an urban planning tool: a pilot study in Adelaide 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the water consumption patterns for different types of
 residential dwellings and areas in Adelaide, Australia. The method uses
 datasets regularly collected and maintained by a number of organizations
 to allow water consumption patterns to be analyzed and examined over time.
 The results suggest that water consumption varies between different types
 of residential dwellings, and areas, and that using metropolitan averages
 to measure national consumption patterns can be misleading. Importantly,
 the results suggest that per capita consumption is not significantly
 different between different types of dwellings. The ability to analyze
 water consumption patterns at the local level would enable planners and
 managers to better target initiatives aimed at reducing water consumption,
 and would also give planners a new tool to assess planning and
 environmental policies.

Title: The institutional complexity of environmental policy and planning problems: the example of Mediterranean desertification 
Abstract:
  Environmental policy and planning problems are inherently complex
 societal problems whose solution requires the deployment of particular
 combinations of environmental and human resources to achieve sustainable
 socio-spatial development. Resources are subject, however, to diverse
 resource regimes. A stumbling block in devising and implementing solutions
 is the variance between actual resource regimes and those associated with
 proposed plans and policies as well as the possibility of combining them
 optimally. The paper explores how the institutional setting&#x2014;the
 numerous and diverse actors and resource regimes involved&#x2014;affects
 the output and outcomes of the principal stages of the policy and planning
 process, it offers proposals for institutional change and it suggests
 future research directions. Desertification control is analyzed as an
 illustrative example of a domain where institutional complexity is
 pronounced and crucial for the feasibility and effectiveness of policy and
 planning interventions.

Title: Assessing the price effects of flood hazard disclosure under the California natural hazard disclosure law (AB 1195) 
Abstract:
  This study uses hedonic analysis to estimate the effects of flood hazard
 disclosure under the 1998 California Natural Hazard Disclosure Law (AB
 1195) on property values throughout California. It finds that the average
 floodplain home sold for 4.2% less than a comparable non-floodplain home
 following AB 1195 while before that law there was no significant price
 differential. The introduction of interaction terms indicates that the
 magnitude of the price reduction due to AB 1195 varies positively with
 Hispanic population share. An average floodplain home in a half-Hispanic
 neighbourhood saw a $12 324 negative capitalization due to AB 1195, while
 that amount was only $2191 for a neighbourhood with 10% Hispanic
 residents. Results suggest that, in particular, homebuyers in Hispanic
 communities are better disclosed to under AB 1195 than they were under the
 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which was the primary policy
 regulating flood disclosure in California prior to passage of AB 1195.

Title: Mandatory planning for environmental innovation: evaluating regulatory mechanisms for toxics use reduction 
Abstract:
  This paper analyzes the Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA),
 evaluating what TURA has achieved, how it has been implemented, how it
 motivates firms to change and how its underlying principles might be
 strengthened to better support innovation for toxics use reduction.
 Through this analysis recent debates are engaged about the potentials and
 limitations of using regulation to promote innovation for the environment.
 The analysis here shows that TURA is distinct from existing regulatory
 programmes in how it requires firms to self-evaluate and plan for process
 improvements, supports implementation through technical assistance and
 focuses on pollution prevention rather than control. Mandatory planning,
 new mechanisms of accountability and improved processes of learning have
 all been critical to TURA's success in motivating firms to innovate for
 the environment. Taken together, these factors have supported incremental
 innovations in industry that may point the way toward policies to support
 even greater environmental improvements.

Title: An island approach to industrial ecology: towards sustainability in the island context 
Abstract:
  Many fields of study have employed geophysical islands in experimental
 design with a great deal of success. An island is a closed and bounded
 system in many respects and presents a manageable unit of study. The
 island microcosm has been the basis for significant advances in areas such
 as evolutionary biology, ecosystem ecology and physical anthropology. The
 same properties that make islands so useful to scientists present island
 populations with pressing sustainability challenges of limited resource
 availability and natural carrying capacity. This paper discusses the
 characteristics of the island context to show the severity and immediacy
 of these challenges. Based on this discussion, it is apparent that new
 approaches are needed to address sustainable development on islands.
 Island systems and the study of industrial ecology, which examines
 industry embedded within the finite natural environment, have much to gain
 from one another in this respect. Several industrial ecology case studies,
 primarily drawn from research in Puerto Rico, are presented to illustrate
 the compatibility of islands as a study unit in this field. Industrial
 ecology presents new solutions to the challenges of sustainable island
 development, while well-defined island systems offer a unique opportunity
 for the approach of industrial ecology.

Title: New national parks for Scotland: coalitions in conflict over the allocation of planning powers in the Cairngorms 
Abstract:
  The introduction of national parks in areas where existing authorities
 have traditionally been responsible for developing policies, preparing
 plans and making decisions on development proposals, can be a threat to
 longstanding interests. This paper explores this problem by examining the
 struggle for control of planning in one of Scotland's first national
 parks, the Cairngorms. Recent research (McCarthy et al., 2002) has
 established the policy context for this investigation. Informed by
 research focusing on the consultation process which led to the
 establishment of the national park, this paper analyzes how alternative
 approaches to the allocation of planning powers were captured in competing
 storylines, around which polarized coalitions of interest formed. Opening
 such insights into the considerations that shape institutional
 design&#x2014;a combination of contested problem framing and
 straightforward political struggles over the locus of regulatory
 power&#x2014;starkly reveals the challenges to the new park authority as
 it seeks to establish consensus between conflicting interests.

Title: Guidance for determining the best disposition of large tracts of decommissioned land 
Abstract:
  Many government agencies and other organizations hold large tracts of
 surplus land. Some are investigating ways to lower expenses by selling the
 land or transferring management responsibility. There is no generally
 recognized process used to decide what land can be decommissioned and what
 future use would be best. This paper provides guidance for land-use
 decisions in the form of a checklist. The checklist questions address both
 the socio-economic resources and current land use in the region, and the
 ecological resources and suitability of the tract itself. The answers will
 clarify regional public needs and the economic and ecological values of
 the land.

Title: Sustainability appraisal in local land-use planning: patterns of current performance 
Abstract:
  The UK government has identified the land-use planning system, and
 development plans in particular, as potentially powerful instruments for
 integrating national sustainability objectives into strategic decision
 making at local levels. One method for achieving this is through the use
 of so-called 'sustainability appraisals', which are an extension of the
 established system of environmental appraisal used by planners since the
 early 1990s. A national framework is outlined in Planning Policy Guidance
 Note 12. Local authorities are now expected to conduct an environmental
 appraisal of their development plans which covers sustainable development
 issues. However, little research has been conducted on the effectiveness
 of current guidance in meeting this aim. By evaluating the implementation
 of sustainability appraisals nationally, this paper suggests that while
 government advice to appraise is generally being applied, the actual use
 of key sustainability principles in practice is rather variable. It then
 discusses these findings in relation to the changing context of appraisals
 in the UK and other national planning systems.

Title: Putting action into biodiversity planning: assessing preferences towards funding 
Abstract:
  Water companies in England and Wales are responsible for the management
 of large areas of land. This land is under little pressure for development
 and is often free from the pollutants associated with conventional
 agriculture and is therefore a potentially valuable resource for
 biodiversity conservation. The value of this resource will only be
 realized if sufficient investment is made in the management of the
 habitats associated with these sites. This paper reports an exploratory
 case study based on customers of Southern Water which uses a mixture of
 questionnaire surveys and focus groups to investigate whether or not
 consumers are willing to pay higher utility bills to fund such management.
 In particular, it explores the public's willingness to forgo potential
 bill reductions in order to fund biodiversity conservation and examines
 how payment instruments could be designed to maximize and maintain the
 agreement from consumers. Results suggest that customers are willing to
 forgo a proportion of a potential bill reduction to pay for biodiversity
 schemes but are not necessarily willing to face a bill increase for the
 same public good benefits. Participants in the focus groups suggested that
 schemes could be made more acceptable to customers by ensuring that the
 outcomes were both visible and local and that their achievements were well
 publicized. Similarly, administration of the scheme through a trust fund
 alleviates some of the concerns of consumers while raising several new
 ones.

Title: EIA in a risk society 
Abstract:
  Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was developed and introduced in the
 1960s during a time that was dominated by three key societal influences.
 These were the growth of modern environmental concern, the drive for more
 rational, scientific and objective environmental decision making and a
 desire for more public involvement in environmental decision making. The
 legitimacy of EIA, as a tool to aid decision making, lies in its ability
 to meet the requirements of all three demands, the chief among these being
 its ability to be a systematic scientific and rational approach to
 decision making. Yet today we live in a society that no longer accepts the
 rationalist model as either possible or desirable. The deference to 'the
 expert' and our trust in science and technology has steadily declined
 during the period of EIAs development and widespread use. Today, EIA still
 depends for its legitimacy on its claim to provide a systematic and
 scientific approach to assessments, while society has moved on. This paper
 examines this growing divergence and argues that it is time for a major
 re-evaluation of the role of EIA in environmental decision making.

Title: Policy and Practice 
Abstract:
  Saudi Arabia has recently begun to implement its General Environmental
 Regulations. The main purpose is to ensure that environmental
 considerations are taken into account at all levels of planning with an
 emphasis on incorporating EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) into
 development activities. However, there is a need to develop a broad
 framework of SEA (Strategic Environmental Assessment) for the proper
 integration of sustainability into decision-making processes. This paper
 reviews and discusses a framework for ensuring sustainability in Saudi
 Arabia, particularly at the local level. The paper develops guidelines and
 a framework for implementing the principles of sustainability in Saudi
 municipalities through SEA.

Title: Transboundary resource management in the EU: transnational welfare maximization and transboundary water sharing on the Iberian peninsula? 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the treatment of the value of
 transnational welfare maximization as based on welfare economics in
 transboundary river sharing in the EU. The paper draws on theorizing on
 spillovers and on game theory and it contrasts these with other ways of
 explaining transnational agreements. The second part of the paper
 discusses the implications of an approach trying to maximize transnational
 welfare in a situation of shared resources by means of mutual payments
 between sharing states and it looks at their treatment throughout the
 negotiations and at the outcome of the Luso-Spanish Convention. The
 conclusions from the case reject a welfare economic evaluation of the
 negotiations on transnational agreements. In reality, mutual payments as
 described here might only be applied in the long term and only to specific
 transboundary spillovers. The negotiations of the Luso-Spanish Convention
 were tightly intertwined with developments in the Water Policy of the EU.
 Some elements of the currently implemented Water Framework Directive
 favour a future use of mutual payments to achieve an increase in
 efficiency in the use of shared rivers.

Title: A comparative analysis of the psychosocial impacts of waste disposal facilities 
Abstract:
  This paper reports the results of a comparative analysis of the
 psychosocial impacts of municipal solid waste disposal facilities (both
 landfills and incinerators) in six communities in the provinces of Ontario
 and British Columbia, Canada. Telephone surveys were administered to
 random samples of residents living around each facility between 1990 and
 1995 (total n=1203). The results of logistic regression analyses show that
 type of facility was the strongest predictor of residents' awareness,
 concern, and actions taken in response to site concerns. Essentially,
 residents living in close proximity to a landfill had a higher probability
 of reporting awareness, concern or actions than residents living around an
 incinerator site. There was little evidence of differences in reactions
 between Ontario and British Columbia (BC) residents, despite variations in
 provincial policies on waste disposal. The effects of other predictors,
 with the exception of involvement in the local community, were not
 consistent, supporting previous findings that the determinants of facility
 impacts are outcome-specific. It is essential that environmental managers
 take this constellation of factors into account in the operation of
 existing, or siting of new, facilities.

Title: Community participation in the planning and management of cultural landscapes 
Abstract:
  The maintenance of valued landscapes often requires the active
 collaboration of local communities in their planning, management and
 sustainable development. This paper examines a variety of situations in
 which local stakeholders have actively participated in the protection and
 maintenance of 'cultural' landscapes. It reviews and interprets evidence
 on the ways in which central and local governments, non-governmental
 organizations, interest groups and the wider public can collaborate in
 planning and managing cultural landscapes. Particular attention is given
 to: the role of stakeholders, participation by communities-of-interest and
 communities-of-place; the management of specific landscape features; and
 policy and funding frameworks. It is concluded that community-based
 initiatives are unlikely to substitute for formal management of extensive
 protected areas, but that participatory approaches can be effective in
 more targeted situations.

Title: Tracking remediation and redevelopment trends of brownfield clean-up programmes: the Cook County experience 
Abstract:
  This study provides evidence on the clean-up and development of
 properties in Cook County that have completed the two Illinois brownfield
 voluntary clean-up programmes (VCPs) since 1989. Real estate and
 environmental databases are merged to allow analysis of development trends
 for a sample of several hundred entering sites, which are followed through
 the programme and into the marketplace. Results show that over half of the
 sites entering the programme received a closure letter, and that a quarter
 used a residential standard when remediating property. One-third used caps
 or other engineering controls, and about 20% have received financing since
 obtaining the closure letter. These promising outcomes demonstrate the
 return of these properties to productive use.

Title: The challenges and implications of collaborative management on a river basin scale 
Abstract:
  Collaboration has rapidly become the dominant paradigm in natural
 resource management, but there are many dilemmas about how it is applied
 effectively. In southwest Oregon, agencies, watershed councils and other
 stakeholders are developing a river basin approach to assess ecological
 health and set priorities for restoration. An analysis of this process
 reveals considerable progress in this innovative effort and it reveals
 several implications for collaboration at a regional scale, including:
 tensions between technical complexity and open participation, difficulties
 with information exchange for joint management, the relationships between
 technical issues and policy issues, the role of regional policy in
 supporting collaborative efforts, and the importance of institutional
 arrangements.

Title: Sharing environmental space: the role of law, economics and politics 
Abstract:
  The concept of 'environmental space' has been put forward as a means for
 providing specific meaning to sustainability. The concept combines the
 idea of the existence of environmental limits with a strong principle of
 environmental justice. It has been used as a basis for the development of
 sustainable action plans for many European countries, and has attracted
 political interest. However, thus far, the concept has found limited
 application by governments. The paper identifies and discusses several
 issues that need to be addressed for the environmental space approach to
 be implemented. Three main options for the institutionalization of the
 approach are discussed: within the legal-constitutional framework (as
 rights and obligations), within the economic system (as environmental
 property rights), and through green planning (as specific objectives and
 targets contained in national environmental plans or strategies). The
 paper discusses the ability of the three options to deal with the issues
 identified, assessing their relative advantages and disadvantages, and to
 what extent these options are complementary. Finally, conclusions are
 drawn about the viability of the concept of 'environmental space'.

Title: SME environmental attitudes and participation in local-scale voluntary initiatives: some practical applications 
Abstract:
  This paper briefly assesses the economic efficiency case for voluntary
 initiatives (VIs), discusses some limitations of this type of policy
 instrument and goes on to consider the role that local-scale voluntary
 initiatives might play in assisting small and medium sized enterprises
 (SMEs) to embrace the issue of environmental performance improvement. The
 paper examines SME organizational management in relation to the likely
 effectiveness of their participation in voluntary environment programmes.
 An environmental attitudes survey carried out with 62 SMEs in East Anglia
 found that willingness to become involved in such initiatives does exist,
 but that a better presentation of opportunities for prospective small
 firms, together with a more tailored approach, will be necessary if VIs
 for SMEs are to become a more extensive feature of environmental policy
 making in the UK.

Title: Implications of climate change on small island developing states: experience in the Caribbean region 
Abstract:
  As the international community debates long-term strategies to address
 global warming, the issue is one of increasing concern for small island
 developing states. Collectively, these countries account for less than 1%
 of greenhouse gas emissions, yet their vulnerabilities are particularly
 high. This paper reviews international efforts including a regional effort
 on the part of 12 Caribbean countries to address this issue. For many
 countries and especially countries of the Caribbean and other small island
 developing states, vulnerabilities already exist and will only be
 exacerbated by accelerated global warming. Dealing with global
 environmental change will require good, reliable information to monitor
 change and assess the physical and economic impact of that change. It also
 will require an institutional and managerial framework that incorporates
 dynamic change into individual and collective decision-making processes.
 Small island developing states must be active players affecting long-term
 solutions to climate change. In the interim, targeted investments to
 address high priority vulnerabilities are likely to lead to no-regrets
 outcomes with high environmental and economic benefits.

Title: Parkmanagement as a tool for careful industrial land-use planning 
Abstract:
  During the second half of the 1990s the combination of ecological and
 economic targets in industrial land-use planning became an official part
 of spatial-economic policy in the Netherlands. A growing number of
 business locations are now being developed or re-developed as 'sustainable
 business sites'. At the same time, 'parkmanagement' came into existence as
 a new tool for development and control of business sites for industry and
 services. Parkmanagement is now regarded as one of the obvious instruments
 to realize sustainable (or 'careful') land use on business parks. However,
 there is now a question about whether it is wrong for local governments
 (which in the Dutch case are responsible for most land development
 schemes) to have so much participation in parkmanagement initiatives.
 There is a threat that local governments are welcoming parkmanagement as a
 fashionable way to impose new regulations on business establishments, and
 ignore the evidence from practice. Such evidence shows that parkmanagement
 is most successful when organized with the involvement of private
 enterprises. This would also be more in line with the modern
 interaction-oriented planning theory (consensus planning). The paper
 describes the principal dilemmas facing local governments in business site
 development, the theoretical options for influencing the development
 process of the sites, and the set of actions that could be part of a
 parkmanagement strategy. These can be arranged on a 'ladder' or range of
 activities, from rather simple facilities serving individual companies'
 needs, such as maintenance and security, to more complex co-operation
 projects in combined transport or energy supply, and ultimately lead to
 schemes for connecting material flows of production processes. The
 successive stages of the ladder of business site facilities can be
 combined with different forms and stages of process organization.

Title: Groundwater protection on Long Island, New York: a study in management capacity 
Abstract:
  Through their powers to regulate land use and their responsibilities for
 public water supply, local governments are critical players in groundwater
 protection. Unfortunately, the demands of groundwater protection are high,
 and many local governments do not have the ability or capacity to develop
 and implement appropriate management strategies. This paper analyzes
 groundwater protection experiences on Long Island, New York, a place where
 groundwater dependence is high, and threats to groundwater are serious.
 Long Island's experiences highlight the need to approach capacity building
 for groundwater protection broadly, concentrating on factors such as
 political commitment and citizen support; enhancement of local technical
 competency through linkages and support from state and federal
 governments; and strengthening of institutional arrangements at all
 levels.

Title: The expert valuation method for assessing agro-environmental policy 
Abstract:
  The Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) and other conventional valuation
 methods of non-market goods often prove to be unsuitable for the
 evaluation of the benefits of agro-environmental policy. Therefore, a new
 method is introduced, according to which a group of experts jointly
 evaluates the strengths, weaknesses and finally monetary benefit of
 agro-environmental programmes. While the methodology combines expert
 surveys, group discussions and CVM, its theoretical background is merit
 good theory. Compared to CVM, the most important practical difference in
 its outcome is the greater openness of the results. As an example, the
 Expert Valuation Method is applied to two groups of agro-environmental
 policy measures in Switzerland. Suggestions for more efficient levels of
 reimbursements are made.

Title: What drives plan implementation? Plans, planning agencies and developers 
Abstract:
  This article investigates the determinants of plan implementation by
 applying a recently-developed Plan Implementation Evaluation methodology.
 The lack of methodology to assess the implementation of plans has so far
 precluded any systematic analysis of the determinants of the
 implementation of local environmental plans. The article focuses on the
 implementation of plans in New Zealand. The key factors of implementation
 are: the quality of the plan; the capacity and commitment of land
 developers to implement plans; the capacity and commitment of the staff
 and leadership of planning agencies to implement plans; and the
 interactions between developers and the agency. The analysis is based on
 353 permits implementing six local environmental plans in New Zealand, and
 on surveys of the developers who obtained the permits and of the planning
 agencies that granted the permits. The analysis finds that plan
 implementation is mainly driven by the resources of the planning agencies
 and by the quality of the plans, rather than by the characteristics of
 developers. Investments in plan writing and agency and staff capacity
 building thus improve the implementation of plans in the long-run.

Title: The greening of brownfields in American cities 
Abstract:
  The redevelopment of brownfields has become a central component of
 government efforts to revitalize many US cities. While the focus of these
 efforts has concentrated on promoting industrial and commercial
 redevelopment, some cities have started to also consider converting
 brownfields into parks and open space as part of a more comprehensive
 renewal strategy. Based on a survey of 20 case studies, this paper
 identifies and discusses: (1) the primary issues involved in brownfield
 greening projects; (2) the benefits of such projects; and (3) the specific
 planning processes involved. The overall conclusion drawn from the survey
 is that numerous renewal-oriented benefits can ensue from greening
 projects, if there is extensive stakeholder commitment devoted to deal
 with its financial and development-oriented challenges.

Title: Informing the development of decision support tools for risk management: the case of electrical and magnetic fields 
Abstract:
  This paper describes tools developed through a community consultative
 process to help decision makers manage electrical and magnetic fields
 (EMF) health risk. The process involved in-depth interviews with experts
 (N=12) and focus group discussions with seven different stakeholder
 groups. The results reveal commonly held intense public concerns about the
 long-term health effects of EMF. These concerns were further reinforced by
 the lack of public trust in both government and industry with regards to
 EMF risk management. Overall, the participants wanted tools that can be
 used to manage EMF information, scientific uncertainty about EMF and the
 complex environment in which EMF issues are embedded. The findings
 contributed to a mapping out of response formats to address public
 concerns related to risk, hazard, trust, accountability and fairness
 across a range of stakeholder groups. These tools and their roles in the
 management of complex and variable risks, involving new circumstances
 (e.g. privatization) and information (e.g. new scientific studies) are
 presented. The importance of recognizing and working with uncertainty
 through adaptive management strategies, using qualitative approaches, is
 also discussed.

Title: A knowledge map for describing variegated and conflict domains of sustainable development 
Abstract:
  This paper aims to draw a knowledge map of the fragmented and
 multidisciplinary literature of sustainable development. Through the
 process of metaphor making, the study identifies seven metaphors that
 together construct this map. Each metaphor represents a specific domain in
 this map. The metaphor of ethical paradox signifies the ethical domain;
 the material domain is represented through the metaphor of natural
 capital, the social domain through the metaphor of fairness, the spatial
 domain through the eco-form metaphor, the political domain through the
 global discourse metaphor, the management domain through the integrative
 management metaphor, and the visionary domain through the utopian
 metaphor. The strength of this approach lies with its comprehensive
 representation of the complex sustainable development world. Its main
 weakness relies on the accurate representation of this map.

Title: Theoretical disputes over forest nitrogen fertilization 
Abstract:
  The theoretical disputes over forest nitrogen (N) fertilization
 constitute a difficulty for forest managers. In cases where scientists
 disagree it is hard for practitioners to make scientifically based
 decisions on what actions to take. The main objective in this study was to
 understand possible reasons for the scientific discussion associated with
 the question as to how fertilization for increased forest growth
 influences the forest ecosystem? Another objective was to clarify the
 divergent theoretical grounds within this scientific field. The study
 proceeded by selecting articles based on the criterion that they include
 field studies of fertilization for stem growth in the temperate region,
 and then analysing their theoretical content. Differences in theoretical
 grounds are among the reasons for the scientific disputes over the effects
 of N fertilization on forest ecosystems.

Title: Visual impact assessment: A neglected component of environmental impact statements in Ireland? 
Abstract:
  This paper documents the results of an analysis of Visual Impact
 Assessments (VIA) within a sample of Environmental Impact Statements (EIS)
 in Ireland. The standard of VIA conducted within the environmental impact
 assessment (EIA) process for three categories of development; piggeries,
 quarries and urban developments between 1997 and 1999 are evaluated. The
 extent to which VIA have complied with the Irish Environmental Protection
 Agency (EPA) guidelines and disparities between the results for each
 development category are examined. The survey concluded that (i) the
 standard of VIA is less comprehensive than might be expected, and (ii) the
 use of visualization techniques for VIA could be substantially improved.

Title: The firm, environmental management and environmental measures: Lessons from a survey of European manufacturing firms 
Abstract:
  This paper reports on the results of a survey of environmental management
 and technical measures amongst almost 2000 European firms. Logit analysis
 is undertaken to determine the effects of firm characteristics, commercial
 conditions, perceived environmental impacts, expected benefits and
 stakeholder pressures on the probability of having an environmental
 management system in place. Subsequently, determinants of the likelihood
 of undertaking environmental actions in five environmental areas are
 estimated. There is a positive effect of environmental management on the
 likelihood of undertaking technical measures to reduce environmental
 impacts in some (but not all) areas, as well as a positive role for
 integrated environmental management strategies.

Title: Conservation planning at the landscape scale: A landscape ecology method for regional land trusts 
Abstract:
  This paper illustrates a landscape ecology approach for land trusts
 undertaking conservation at the watershed scale. A conservation plan was
 created for the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy (GTRLC) in the
 headwaters of Michigan's Manistee River Watershed (USA). Eight
 conservation drivers were devised to identify Conservation Focus Areas
 (CFAs) of highest ecological importance. The CFAs were ranked based on
 ecological importance, feasibility of protection and size. Parcels were
 ranked, totalling nearly 5000 ha, within the three highest-ranking CFAs in
 one key county. This approach is useful to land trusts trying to
 operationalize three distinct goals in conservation planning: to find
 areas of high ecological importance, to promote the landscape's spatial
 integrity and to delineate threats to ecological systems and processes.

Title: Nitrogen input from residential lawn care practices in suburban watersheds in Baltimore county, MD 
Abstract:
  A residential lawn care survey was conducted as part of the Baltimore
 Ecosystem Study, a Long-term Ecological Research project funded by the
 National Science Foundation and collaborating agencies, to estimate the
 nitrogen input to urban watersheds from lawn care practices. The
 variability in the fertilizer N application rates and the factors
 affecting the application rates were examined. Results indicated that the
 annual input of nitrogen from fertilizer is a major component of the urban
 watershed nitrogen budget and it is both spatially and temporally
 variable. There is a wide range in the application rate of fertilizer N to
 residential lawns applied by homeowners and by professional lawn care
 companies. Survey data estimated a mean fertilizer application rate of
 97.6 kg N/ha/yr with a standard deviation of 88.3 kg N/ha/yr. Analyses
 suggested that the fertilizer application rate is affected by social
 economic factors and soil characteristics to include the market value of
 the house, age of development, soil bulk density and soil nitrogen
 content.

Title: Cost-benefit ratio and empirical examination of the acceptance of heathland maintenance in the Lueneburg heath nature reserve 
Abstract:
  The cost-benefit ratio of heathland maintenance measures was assessed in
 the Lueneburg Heath nature reserve in North-West Germany. This nature
 reserve contains large areas of heathland and is of substantial ecological
 and historical importance. The heathland can only be preserved by regular
 maintenance. For this assessment the costs of the maintenance measures
 were traced and a survey of visitors was carried out. The
 willingness-to-pay of the visitors for the heathland maintenance was
 determined as an assessment of the benefit created. Furthermore, the
 social acceptance of each maintenance measure was examined as this
 variable can influence the economic data considerably. These aspects
 represent a basis for the assessment of the net costs and benefits and for
 the calculation of the net present value (NPV) provided by the maintenance
 of the area. The results show a substantial positive net benefit of the
 heathland maintenance as a whole and varying acceptance of the different
 maintenance measures.

Title: The use of a multiple criteria decision analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of landscape and habitat enhancement mechanisms: An example from the South Downs 
Abstract:
  A range of funding schemes and policy instruments exist to effect
 enhancement of the landscapes and habitats of the UK. While a number of
 assessments of these mechanisms have been conducted, little research has
 been undertaken to compare both quantitatively and qualitatively their
 relative effectiveness across a range of criteria. It is argued that few
 tools are available for such a multi-faceted evaluation of effectiveness.
 A form of Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is justified and
 utilized as a framework in which to evaluate the effectiveness of nine
 mechanisms in relation to the protection of existing areas of chalk
 grassland and the creation of new areas in the South Downs of England.
 These include established schemes, such as the Countryside Stewardship and
 Environmentally Sensitive Area Schemes, along with other less common
 mechanisms, for example, land purchase and tender schemes. The steps
 involved in applying an MCDA to evaluate such mechanisms are identified
 and the process is described. Quantitative results from the comparison of
 the effectiveness of different mechanisms are presented, although the
 broader aim of the paper is that of demonstrating the performance of MCDA
 as a tool for measuring the effectiveness of mechanisms aimed at landscape
 and habitat enhancement.

Title: Spatial prioritization of revegetation sites for dryland salinity management: an analytical framework using GIS 
Abstract:
  To address the limited application of analytical and modelling techniques
 in prioritizing revegetation sites for dryland salinity (saline land)
 management, a case study of the Hodgson Creek catchment in Queensland,
 Australia, was conducted. An analytical framework was developed,
 incorporating the use of spatial datasets (Landsat 7 image, DEM, soil map,
 and salinity map), which were processed using digital image processing
 techniques and a geographic information system (GIS). Revegetation sites
 were mapped and their priority determined based on recharge area, land
 use/cover and sub-catchment salinity. The analytical framework presented
 here enhances the systematic use of land information, widens the scope for
 scenario testing, and improves the testing of alternative revegetation
 options. The spatial patterns of revegetation sites could provide an
 additional set of information relevant in the design of revegetation
 strategies.

Title: An approach to the acoustic design of outdoor space 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on soundscape planning, or acoustic design, in the
 planning and management of open space in both urban and non-urban areas.
 It is based on notions, promoted over several decades, that the acoustic
 aspects of open space can, and should be, subject to design in the same
 way as are the visual dimensions. The current paradigm for the management
 of the outdoor acoustic environment is noise control and soundscape
 planning needs to adopt quite different practices from noise control with
 respect to acoustic criteria and measurement. The paper explores the
 specification of acoustic objectives for outdoor soundscapes and the
 translation of these objectives into acoustic criteria that are amenable
 to measurement and prediction as part of the design process. Such
 objectives, termed Proposed Acoustic Environments, focus on the
 information content in sounds in a particular space and, only indirectly,
 on characteristics such as level or loudness. Outdoor acoustic design is
 mostly concerned with avoiding, or achieving, the masking of one set of
 information in the acoustic signal with other sets of information in the
 same signal. These are critical methodological issues if soundscape
 planning is to move from being a good idea to common practice. The paper
 sets out the elements of a process for the acoustic design or management
 of outdoor space.

Title: Regional planning and sustainability: limits and potentials of South Africa's integrated development plans 
Abstract:
  This paper considers whether South Africa's Integrated Development Plans
 provide an adequate framework for achieving sustainable regional
 development, particularly for peripheral regions of developing countries.
 It examines the case of Integrated Development Planning in the Ugu
 District Municipality, which has been acclaimed for its emphasis on
 incorporating principles of sustainable development into its planning
 processes. While the emphasis on integration and the multi-sectoral
 approach are strengths, greater attention needs to be given to
 environmental aspects, and the form of planning needs to be adapted to the
 context, and its social, economic and political dynamics.

Title: Valuation of management policies for sport-fishing on Sweden's Kaitum river 
Abstract:
  In addition to its empirical results, this paper makes three distinct
 contributions to the literature on valuing fishing recreation by stated
 preference methods. In particular, the paper proposes a new approach to
 designing a choice experiment, called 'approximate minimax design'. It
 employs the latest advances in optimal design theory and is much easier to
 compute than the ordinary minimax design. Second, the choice-experiments
 are embedded in a trip frequency model, such that the changes in trip
 frequency can be predicted from improved fish management. Most
 importantly, the approach proposed in the paper provides a first step in
 developing dynamic fish management models, because the policies analysed
 may change the age-structure of the stock. The paper also contributes with
 new results on anglers' valuations of angling site characteristics. They
 conform to traditionally obtained results but also show some unexpected
 results. In particular, the result does not indicate a difference in the
 valuation of the species caught. As expected, the application shows that
 the marginal value of trophy-fish is high.

Title: Towards a socio-economic analysis of Scotland's coastal areas 
Abstract:
  Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) has evolved as a key mechanism
 for the delivery of sustainable development objectives within coastal
 regions. Yet, despite significant advancements in ICZM application over
 recent years, one of the most noticeable weaknesses of ICZM performance
 has been a failure to adequately account for the existence of
 socio-economic concerns. This information deficiency is particularly
 apparent in Scotland. Despite significant progress in the promotion of
 ICZM, Scottish experiences have been characterized by a focus upon
 sectoral policy co-ordination and environmental dimensions of
 sustainability. This paper provides an evaluation of both socio-economic
 conditions and processes which impact upon coastal communities in Scotland
 and considers how such issues can be accounted for within future coastal
 management debates.

Title: Environmental capital: an information core to public participation in strategic and operational decisions&#x2014;the example of river 'Best Practice' projects 
Abstract:
  Sustainable development and solutions to existing environmental problems
 depend heavily on information and its translation into usable knowledge.
 Increasingly, affected communities are being drawn into environmental
 decision-making, both in the development of strategy (plans) and in the
 delivery of plans through management and operations. Variants of the
 'natural capital' theme are popular amongst those who see an effective
 dialogue between the sciences of ecology and economics as the most
 promising interdisciplinary context for environmental decision making by
 empowered communities. A decision-making framework is vital in practical,
 community-based schemes (wider than 'stakeholder platforms') which have
 become popular for promoting 'best practice' in managing river basin
 units. The EU Water Framework Directive renders use of interdisciplinary
 techniques within a participatory framework a statutory requirement. A
 final practical need for communities and professionals involved with such
 schemes is the creation of a system of adaptive (rather than reactive)
 management, supported by ongoing research and monitoring to detect, and
 adjust to, ever-changing physical and social contexts for both strategies
 and operations. This paper describes the authors' experience in applying
 the 'Environmental Capital' (also known as 'Quality of Life Capital'
 (QoLC)) approach to information management in two headwater catchments in
 northern England: the Wharfe and the Coquet. In the case of the Upper
 Wharfedale Best Practice Project (UWBPP) the components of basic
 environmental survey, consultation, strategy formulation and the use of
 the strategy are illustrated to guide immediate and longer-term actions.
 In contrast, the Coquet application of the technique, whilst socially more
 pervasive, was less successful for a number of reasons: geographical,
 institutional, project and participatory. As a proposed development of the
 methodology based on the authors' experiences, extending public
 participation through monitoring activity, together with formal
 application of environmental economics to the perceived elements of
 'natural' and 'human' capital in the two catchments would appear
 desirable. Conclusions are also drawn regarding the demands of the EU
 Water Framework Directive for ecological, economic and participatory
 approaches to river basin planning and management.

Title: Value-oriented impact assessment: the economics of a new approach to impact assessment 
Abstract:
  Environmental Impact Assessment has gained a prominent position as a tool
 to evaluate the environmental effects of economic activities. However, all
 approaches proposed so far use a burden-oriented logic. They concentrate
 on the different environmental impacts in order to ascertain the overall
 environmental damage caused by economic activity. This paper argues that
 such a burden-oriented view is (a) hampered by a series of methodological
 shortcomings which hinders its widespread use in practice; and (b) is
 analytically incomplete. The paper proposes a value-oriented approach to
 impact assessment. For this purpose an economic analysis of the optimal
 use of environmental and social resources is conducted from both a
 burden-oriented and a value-oriented standpoint. The basic logic of a
 value-oriented impact assessment is explained, as well as the resulting
 economic conditions for an optimal use of resources. In addition, it is
 shown that value- and burden-oriented approaches are complementary to
 achieve optimality. Finally, the paper discusses the conditions under
 which the use of burden- or value-oriented impact assessments is
 appropriate, respectively.

Title: Bacterial sources, pathways and management strategies for urban runoff 
Abstract:
  The microbiological quality of diffuse impermeable surface runoff is
 described in terms of bacterial densities and pathogens observed within
 urban catchments in North London and Milton Keynes and the use of somatic
 bacteriophages as faecal indicators are evaluated. The studies show the
 occurrence of faecal indicator organisms (FIOs) and pathogens to be
 ubiquitous in stormwater runoff from all types of urban land use surfaces,
 with the possible exception of major highways. Urban catchments in North
 London show a progressive downstream increase in FIOs and pathogens
 consonant with increasing urbanization and incidence of stormwater
 outfalls and combined sewer overflows (CSOs). Surface water FIOs and
 pathogens appear to be predominantly of non-human origin being primarily
 derived from animal and bird sources, although the effect is over-ridden
 in the presence of misconnections and CSO discharges. A combination of
 infrastructure improvement, end-of-pipe detention, source control and more
 robust local authority regulation is recommended for effective management
 and remediation of bacteriological urban water quality.

Title: Containing Urban Sprawl: Trends in Land Use and Spatial Planning in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona 
Abstract:
  In recent decades, there has been considerable debate in the Metropolitan
 Region of Barcelona regarding the role of spatial planning in influencing
 general land-use trends. There is a widespread belief amongst geographers,
 environmentalists, planners and some politicians that spatial planning of
 the metropolitan region has not been particularly successful in reducing
 urban pressures on rural areas. The aim of this study is to explore the
 apparent links between urban sprawl, spatial planning and changing land
 use in the rural-urban fringe of Barcelona. The paper demonstrates that
 the main impacts of sprawl have been concentrated in agricultural areas,
 and that the planning system has not been capable of containing urban
 growth.

Title: Combining Nature Conservation and Residential Development in the Netherlands, England and Spain 
Abstract:
  In this paper the function of protected nature in rural living
 environments is discussed in relation to residential choice, appreciation
 of the residential environment and rural development policy. In five case
 studies a comparison is made between the situation of protected natural
 areas in the Netherlands, England and Spain. The research results show
 that protected natural areas are an increasingly popular endogenous
 quality of rural regions as they have the ability to influence the
 residential choice and satisfaction of households. Therefore, they have
 not only become an important driving factor in the attraction of
 residential and other consumption-orientated activities towards rural
 areas but also need to be considered in policy formulation. After all,
 choices have to be made when different functions need to be combined in
 rural areas. Different activities may have both positive and negative
 effects on each other and regulatory measures are needed to tune their
 co-existence. For a sustainable and balanced development of rural areas it
 is therefore very important to create basic conditions that will make the
 combination of activities possible within the specific national and
 regional contexts.

Title: Territorial Recognition and Control of Changes in Dynamic Rural Areas: Analysis of the Naturbanization Process in Andalusia, Spain 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses new dynamics in rural areas of Andalusia belonging to
 protected environments. These dynamics relate to demographic developments
 that have taken place over the past 20 years, and their repercussions on
 changes in the use of land and regional planning in a wider context. The
 author calls this process 'naturbanization', building on the work of Berry
 and Champion on the concept of counterurbanization. Whilst most of the
 work on demographic movements and restructuring in rural areas is based on
 the trends set by city dwellers, this work aims to show the importance of
 environmental conditions on human behaviour and how this can have medium
 and long-term repercussions on the population dynamics of rural areas in
 Andalusia. The main results of this study show clear evidence of a nature
 urbanization process, as measured by a relative population development, in
 rural areas where protected natural areas are present. However, there are
 also clear differences in the population growth rates that support the
 presence of a naturbanization process between natural parks. In the
 protected natural areas situated in inland locations, population growth
 rates have generally been lagging behind while the protected areas
 situated nearer to the coast have proved to be more attractive to
 migration and have experienced a positive population development in the
 1981-2001 period. Apparently, the presence of protected nature is not the
 only factor determining the attractiveness of a rural area as a place to
 live. The naturbanization in rural areas can have negative implications
 for the ecological, landscape and social values of rural areas and
 therefore needs careful policy attention.

Title: Agricultural Abandonment in the North Eastern Iberian Peninsula: The Use of Basic Landscape Metrics to Support Planning 
Abstract:
  Land abandonment is an important cause of changes in landscape patterns
 in the Mediterranean area. There is a need to monitor land use and land
 cover changes in order to provide quantitative evidence of the
 relationship between land abandonment and the formation of new landscape
 patterns. Appropriate management policies to encourage sustainable
 development can then be developed. This paper describes how to monitor
 landscape dynamics using different temporal land use and land cover data
 generated from field survey and airborne information. The results showed
 that the abandonment of agricultural land generally results in an increase
 of vegetation biomass. This process leads to homogenization of the
 landscape. In addition, abandonment promotes fragmentation of agricultural
 land. Based on these results, the paper discusses the implications for
 rural management policies concerning the abandonment of agricultural land
 and suggests recommendations for the development of such policies.

Title: Can Red Pay for Blue? Methods to Estimate the Added Value of Water in Residential Environments 
Abstract:
  As a result of climate changes, more land is now needed in the
 Netherlands for water retention in towns and the countryside. Recently,
 this perceived need has resulted in new forms of water management and
 spatial planning strategies. Multi-functional land use is an option such
 as housing in combination with retention lakes. Some argue that the market
 potential is high and that water has an added value in residential
 environments. This added value could be used to compensate for
 non-profitable investments such as the creation of lakes. The key question
 is how to value this amenity. It is argued that non-economists often
 assume that a valuation is just a technique. The authors challenge this by
 presenting an overview of economic perspectives as well as techniques. A
 literature review reveals the main valuation perspectives and suggests
 estimated added values of 10-15% for the seashore, 5-10% for river
 locations (streams), and 5% for lakes.

Title: Evaluating Spatial Design Techniques for Solving Land-use Allocation Problems 
Abstract:
  This study examines the use of spatial optimization techniques for
 multi-site land-use allocation problems (MLUA). 'Multi-site' refers to the
 problem of allocating more than one land-use type in an area, which are
 difficult problems as they involve multiple stakeholders with conflicting
 goals and objectives. Spatial optimization methods consist of (1) an
 optimization model and (2) an algorithm to solve the model. This study
 demonstrates a goal-programming model to solve the MLUA problem. The model
 is solved using both simulated annealing and genetic algorithms. Special
 attention has been given to introduce a spatial compactness objective in
 the model. It is shown that the compactness objectives in the optimization
 model generate compact patches of the same land use for using both the
 simulated annealing procedure and the genetic algorithm. In addition, it
 appears that using the proper settings of the compactness objectives,
 connectivity between patches of land use is promoted. The method is tested
 for a fictive study and then demonstrated for a real case study, both
 measuring 20 &#xd7; 20 cells. The genetic algorithm generally performs
 better than simulated annealing in terms of solution time and achieving
 compactness.

Title: Information and Willingness to Pay in a Contingent Valuation Study: The Value of S. Erasmo in the Lagoon of Venice 
Abstract:
  This paper reports on a contingent valuation (CV) study eliciting
 willingness to pay (WTP) for a public program for the preservation of
 lagoon, beach and infrastructure in the island of S. Erasmo in the Lagoon
 of Venice, Italy. We use split samples to investigate the effect of
 providing a summary of reasons for voting in favor and against the program
 before the referendum valuation question. Reminding respondents of the
 reasons for voting for or against the program increases WTP among less
 highly educated respondents, and decreases WTP among more highly educated
 respondents.

Title: Striking the Balance Between Environment and Economy in Coastal North Carolina 
Abstract:
  A fundamental purpose of intergovernmental growth management has been to
 infuse regional concerns&#x2014;especially regional environmental and
 economic development concerns&#x2014;into local land use planning. This
 paper presents results from a study of state-mandated local planning in
 coastal North Carolina during the mid-1990s, addressing in particular
 local efforts to 'strike a balance' between environment and economy as
 required by the state's planning mandate. While acknowledging the need for
 coastal resource protection, coastal localities were not striking a
 balance between environment and economy through their planning efforts
 beyond stating support for the State's minimum resource protection rules.
 Within this context, key factors yielding less environmentally focused
 local planning included both local elected officials' concerns about the
 need for economic development for jobs and their belief that environmental
 protection was not a local problem. Factors that tended to shift local
 planning back toward environmental protection included local officials'
 perception that the local economy was in good shape and heightened citizen
 engagement.

Title: Environmental Reform, Ecological Modernization and the Policy Process in Hong Kong: An Exploratory Study of Stakeholder Perspectives 
Abstract:
  A number of social surveys on environmental issues have been conducted in
 Hong Kong over the past 20 years but none has investigated processes of
 environmental reform from a stakeholder perspective. This paper reports on
 the findings of a survey of 120 representatives of eight stakeholder
 groups conducted in 2003. This exploratory study had two main objectives.
 First, it investigated stakeholder views on environmental policy making in
 Hong Kong including policy objectives and priorities, the policy
 instruments employed, the discourse surrounding environmental policy
 making and sustainable development, and the effectiveness of local
 environmental institutions. Second, it explored the extent to which Hong
 Kong is undergoing environmental reform processes consistent with the
 principles of ecological modernization. The results indicate that a
 conventional command-and-control model focusing on pollution control
 drives environmental policy making in Hong Kong. Government is seen as a
 relatively unresponsive, 'controller' regime relying heavily on laws and
 regulation to pursue its policy objectives. Support exists among
 stakeholders for the use of new environmental policy instruments (NEPIs),
 particularly those of an economic nature, but there is scepticism about
 the potential effectiveness of voluntary environmental agreements. Local
 environmental discourse is characterized by the counter-positioning of
 economic development and the environment. Most stakeholders share the view
 that the debate surrounding sustainable development has been poorly
 informed and that the concept is not well-understood. Stakeholder
 responses suggest that there is considerable divergence between the
 potential and actual effectiveness of important local environmental
 institutions. While there is empirical evidence indicating that some
 environmental initiatives have produced technical outcomes consistent with
 ecological modernization, our findings suggest these do not reflect a
 conscious change in the direction of environmental policy and that the
 social and institutional transformations that also underpin ecological
 modernization have yet to become embedded in Hong Kong.

Title: Imputing Unknown Market Values: A Different Perspective on the Disparity Between WTP and WTA 
Abstract:
  In the process of economic development, governments often expropriate
 private property and compensate the owners accordingly. Using the
 application of environmental regulation, this paper suggests a method to
 impute the price of an expropriated good when the price is not available,
 due to the lack of markets.

Title: Exploring Values, Context and Perceptions in Contingent Valuation Studies: The CV Market Stall Technique and Willingness to Pay for Wildlife Conservation 
Abstract:
  Public preferences for conservation and environmental management may be
 identified in willingness to pay (WTP) studies. Normally part of a
 contingent valuation exercise, WTP studies elicit monetary estimates of
 non-market economic goods. This paper describes a new approach to WTP, the
 CV Market Stall, a technique that adds a discursive, qualitative dimension
 to contingent valuation. It is suggested that the CV Market Stall
 technique is a good method for exploring attitudes and responses to
 environmental project proposals. The flexible format, with an emphasis
 upon information provision, discussion and learning would also allow
 contingent valuation to be extended to much more complex and uncertain
 environmental issues.

Title: Pollution and Waste Production in Home-Based Enterprises in Developing Countries: Perceptions and Realities 
Abstract:
  Using mainly qualitative data from a four country case study, this paper
 describes the nature of home-based enterprises (HBEs) and the wastes that
 they produce. It finds that most only generate material similar to
 domestic wastes, but in greater quantities. While some are undoubtedly
 generating dangerous wastes, they are only a small proportion of all HBEs
 and tend to be aware of at least some of the problem and take mitigating
 steps. The paper argues that the encouragement of clean processes should
 replace the usual negative views about HBEs that are held by policy
 makers.

Title: Tragedy of the Temporal Commons: Soil-Bound Lead and the Anachronicity of Risk 
Abstract:
  In 2002, a team of researchers from the University of California, Irvine
 collaborated with the community of Pacoima, California around a
 co-ordinated effort to analyze soil around the neighborhood for lead. The
 team found both total and bioavailable lead to be markedly higher in areas
 close to major highways, almost 20 years after leaded gasoline had been
 completely phased out. Multi-regression and cluster analyses reveal the
 association of elevated levels of total and bioavailable lead with
 proximity to major highways that cut through Pacoima. Moreover,
 bioavailability ratios are higher next to highways than elsewhere. What
 this reveals is an unexpected persistence of lead deposited by vehicular
 emissions over a long period of time, a potentially intractable policy
 issue. The long residence time of soil lead represents an enduring public
 health problem, especially considering the numbers of those potentially
 exposed over time. It is unclear how expedient or realistic the conversion
 of land use around major highways might be, or how this new information
 might be integrated into ongoing movements for change. However, some
 policy actions can, even now, be considered&#x2014;e.g. a closer policy
 focus on the bioavailable, not just total, fraction of soil lead. We also
 reflect upon how these traces in the soil give us a more profound sense of
 the cumulative burden that some communities have to bear due to a history
 of neglect.

Title: Afforestation Planning and Biodiversity Conservation: Predicting Effects on Habitat Functionality in Lithuania 
Abstract:
  Habitat re-creation is one of the multiple faces of biodiversity
 restoration and encompasses the attempts to reconstruct an ecosystem on
 severely disturbed sites with little left to restore. Afforestation of
 abandoned or marginal agricultural land is an important tool for the
 re-creation of forest ecosystems and re-establishment of functional
 habitat networks for the maintenance of biodiversity. This study was
 performed in the context of the Danish-Lithuanian project 'Afforestation
 of abandoned agricultural land based on sustainable land use planning and
 environmentally sound forest management'. The study assessed how habitat
 re-creation as designed in alternative afforestation plans for two
 administrative regions in Lithuania will affect the functionality of the
 landscapes for bird species of conservation concern. Spatial analysis of
 the forest cover was performed under existing and proposed conditions
 using general landscape ecological principles concerning core and edge
 habitats as well as nearest-neighbour metrics. The results show that the
 use of general criteria may result in proportionally negative changes in
 the availability of some forest habitats relative to changes in total
 forest cover, thus leading to less significant improvements in the
 habitats of many naturally occurring (and even protected) species compared
 to what would be expected from changes in forest cover alone. To solve
 this dilemma it is suggested that the requirements of focal species and
 quantitative conservation objectives should be considered in a spatially
 explicit - each main forest type. It is concluded that to ensure
 functionality of habitat networks, knowledge and experience from the
 fields of landscape ecology and conservation biology should be more
 commonly incorporated into afforestation planning.

Title: Discretionary Judgement in Local Planning Authority Decision Making: Screening Development Proposals for Environmental Impact Assessment 
Abstract:
  Screening is a critical decision-stage in the Environmental Impact
 Assessment (EIA) process and involves the determination of whether or not
 a development proposal will require EIA. This decision requires a
 discretionary judgement on whether the development has the potential to
 cause 'significant environmental effects', and consequently there is
 potential for diversity to exist in formal requests for EIA. Drawing upon
 a comprehensive survey of Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) in England and
 Wales, this paper explores the characteristics of LPA screening decision
 making since the introduction of revised EIA regulations in March 1999.
 The paper starts with a theoretical overview of rationality, decision
 making and planning theory, followed by a brief review of the regulatory
 context of EIA screening. The research approach is then outlined and the
 survey findings are presented, including a detailed consideration of
 organizational and individual level analyses set within the context of
 planning theory judgement debates. Comparisons with other European
 countries are briefly made, before drawing conclusions and
 recommendations.

Title: Innovation and Environmental Voluntary Approaches 
Abstract:
  Criteria have been developed in general terms for evaluating voluntary
 approaches. Nevertheless, there still remains limited assessment regarding
 the performance of environmental voluntary approaches as there is a
 general dearth of empirical information. In relation to innovation and
 voluntary approaches there are two main schools of thought, namely, the no
 innovation scenario and innovation through collective learning. This paper
 outlines the arguments regarding environmental voluntary approaches and
 innovation and reports on an empirical study of an Irish packaging
 voluntary agreement. Its findings would indicate that the no innovation
 scenario is applicable to the Irish packaging voluntary agreement.

Title: EIA as Regulation: Does it Work? 
Abstract:
  Since its introduction into Danish planning in 1989, Environmental Impact
 Assessment (EIA) has been widely discussed. At the centre of the debate
 the question has been whether EIA has actually offered anything new and
 there has been a great deal of scepticism about the efficacy of the
 instrument. Although, in principle EIA offers a holistic and proactive
 methodology, it does not seem to lead to a more holistic and proactive
 regulation which covers more ground than traditional planning and
 environmental regulation. In an evaluation of Danish experiences, this
 study has looked more closely at the effects of EIA. Three types of
 effects on projects have been examined: changes occurring prior to the
 formal application; changes during the EIA process; and the mitigation
 measures that are demanded of projects. The general conclusion is that EIA
 does generate a significant number of changes to projects. In
 approximately half of the cases studied, modifications are made prior to
 the formal application. During the formal EIA process, modifications were
 made in more than 90% of the cases. However, most of these could be
 considered as minor. EIA is characterized by being based upon a broad
 concept of the environment. It was found that a progressive narrowing of
 the concept of environment takes place during the course of the EIA
 process.

Title: The Ythan Project: A Case Study on Improving Catchment Management through Community Involvement 
Abstract:
  Increased participation in resource management decisions by a wide range
 of stakeholders has been widely advocated, and has recently been formally
 incorporated into the European Water Framework Directive. However,
 achieving such participation has generally proved to be problematical. In
 response to locally perceived needs, a project was set up in the Ythan
 catchment in northeast Scotland, to undertake catchment management actions
 with increased public involvement. This paper outlines the methods used to
 increase public participation in such actions, and some preliminary
 assessments of the effectiveness of these. The experience of the project
 and the lessons learnt, including some of the difficulties of ensuring
 fully representative stakeholder involvement, are discussed in relation to
 published criteria for public participation in resource management.

Title: A Critical Review of Citizens' Juries: How Useful are they in Facilitating Public Participation in the EU Water Framework Directive? 
Abstract:
  Citizens' juries (CJs) are recommended as one approach that might be used
 to encourage the active involvement of interested parties in the
 implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). In this light
 the paper critically reviews the citizens' jury method in the context of
 water resource management. It examines three strategic challenges of
 representation, accountability and the role of experts, and issues of
 scale related to geography, institutions and time. Innovative adaptations
 of the CJ approach and other deliberative methods are explored as means to
 address these challenges. The review concludes by arguing that CJs will
 only be suitable for use in implementation of the WFD if such adaptations
 are further developed and used to tailor the CJ approach to the particular
 needs of water resource management in different circumstances.

Title: Social and Environmental Justice in South African Cities: Including 'Invisible Stakeholders' in Environmental Assessment Procedures 
Abstract:
  In South Africa an intensive reform process to democratize policy,
 legislation and related institutions in the country commenced after the
 first democratic elections in 1994. While environmental law reform
 includes active public participation and equity principles, it is proposed
 in this paper that ecological modernization dominates current
 environmental assessment practice. This paper presents a Social Impact
 Assessment (SIA) of a proposed landfill on the periphery of Durban, where
 large informal settlements and peri-urban areas exist as a relic of
 apartheid planning. The methodology of the SIA was explicitly designed
 within a framework of social justice to include poor and marginalized
 people, who remain excluded from environmental decision making despite the
 promise of democratic equality. The study claims to deepen democratic
 practice by demonstrating that alternative methodologies can be designed
 to include the interests of 'invisible stakeholders' in environmental
 assessments despite the dominance of ecological modernization in the
 implementation of environmental law and policy.

Title: From Forest Regulation to Participatory Facilitation: Forest Employee Perspectives on Organizational Change and Transformation in India 
Abstract:
  Despite the critical role of government agencies in decentralizing
 natural resource governance, little work to date has focused on the
 organizational aspects of the responsible government bureaucracies. Based
 on a qualitative investigation of the perspectives of Forest Department
 employees involved in India's Joint Forest Management (JFM) program, this
 paper aims to provide an understanding of these internal dynamics.
 Elaborating on why bureaucracies with a learning orientation are essential
 if participatory natural resource management is to succeed, the paper
 underlines the constraints to transforming forest agencies' hierarchical
 work cultures. Foresters describe JFM as a radical departure from
 traditional forest governance, but suggest that corresponding
 transformation within the Forest Department has not occurred. Foresters
 cite as reasons: (1) a target-based incentive system that leaves little
 room for establishing the relationships with local people needed for
 collaborative management; (2) rigid rules and regulations that prevent the
 flexibility needed for adaptive, site-specific problem-solving; (3) a
 hierarchical, top-down style of communication that prevents the upper
 administration from learning what is happening on the ground and stifles
 initiative by field staff; (4) the need for a committed leadership to
 reverse this hierarchical culture. They point to the few such
 team-oriented leaders as the key to transforming the Forest Department and
 enabling participatory forest management to succeed. The authors also
 recommend accompanying changes in training and reward systems.

Title: Collaborative Watershed Planning in Washington State: Implementing the Watershed Planning Act 
Abstract:
  In 1998 the Washington State Legislature enacted the Watershed Planning
 Act, which encourages local governments to develop watershed plans using
 collaborative processes. Objectives of the statute are to address water
 resource and water quality issues, salmon habitat needs and to establish
 instream flows. This exploratory study sought to examine two aspects of
 how local governments are implementing the Act: challenges and benefits
 associated with collaborative watershed planning and the capacity of local
 governments to conduct collaborative watershed planning. Using documents
 and interview data from four cases, it was found that all planning groups
 experience similar challenges, although newer planning groups experienced
 more challenges than groups with previous planning experience. Challenges
 include issues surrounding the collaborative process, interagency
 co-ordination and trust. Local governments struggle with building capacity
 to plan, particularly in the areas of funding, technical expertise,
 incentives for participation, adequate time to conduct planning and
 questions regarding appropriate scale and scope of their planning efforts.
 Despite the challenges, collaborative watershed planning is well underway,
 with more than 37 planning units conducting planning under the Act.

Title: Integrating Land-use Planning and Transportation in Belfast: A New Policy Agenda for Sustainable Development? 
Abstract:
  Much of the interest in promoting sustainable development in planning for
 the city-region focuses on the apparently inexorable rise in the demand
 for car travel and the contribution that certain urban forms and land-use
 relationships can make to reducing energy consumption. Within this
 context, policy prescription has increasingly favoured a compact city
 approach with increasing urban residential densities to address the
 physical separation of daily activities and the resultant dependency on
 the private car. This paper aims to outline and evaluate recent efforts to
 integrate land use and transport policy in the Belfast Metropolitan Area
 in Northern Ireland. Although considerable progress has been made, this
 paper underlines the extent of existing car dependency in the metropolitan
 area and prevailing negative attitudes to public transport, and argues
 that although there is a rhetorical support for the principles of
 sustainability and the practice of land-use/transportation integration,
 this is combined with a selective reluctance to embrace local changes in
 residential environment or in lifestyle preferences which might facilitate
 such principles.

Title: Metapopulations in Agricultural Landscapes: A Spatially Explicit Trade-off Analysis 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a spatially explicit trade-off analysis of species
 conservation in agricultural areas. A spatially explicit model is
 presented that integrates an applied metapopulation model with a farm
 management model. The model is used to calculate production possibilities
 frontiers of net monetary benefits from agriculture and conservation of
 three species with different habitats. Simulations of spatial habitat
 allocation under European agri-environment schemes are compared to these
 production possibilities frontiers. The results suggest that the
 cost-effectiveness of current conservation policies may be greatly
 enhanced if the spatial dimension is considered explicitly.

Title: Procedural Integration in Support of Environmental Policy Objectives: Implementing Sustainability 
Abstract:
  Translating sustainability policy goals into concrete action has proven
 to be a complex challenge for government agencies, municipalities and
 businesses. Existing planning and decision-making methods, such as
 Comprehensive Planning, Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental
 Management Systems, are being used to address this focus on
 sustainability. United States Army policy requires the use of these three
 procedures by installation planners and managers, providing a unique
 opportunity for innovation. This paper examines the applicability of these
 procedures for implementing the Army's sustainable operations policy
 goals, and explores how the current independent and disconnected
 implementation can be improved through integration. Included in this
 analysis is a review of organizational barriers to integrated planning and
 management. The analysis is applicable outside the Army as these three
 decision-making procedures are used in many contexts, and installation
 management shares many characteristics with local government land use
 planning, federal land management, and corporate business operations.

Title: National and Regional-Level Human-Environment (Ecosystems) Interactions: Some Empirical Evidence from China 
Abstract:
  The state of human-environment (ecosystems)
 interactions&#x2014;ecosystems (land cover classes), population,
 biodiversity hotspots and protected status&#x2014;is examined in the
 eastern coastal zones, the eastern region, the middle region, the western
 region and the whole of China. The analysis is based on consistent,
 comprehensive, geo-referenced and recent datasets and advanced analytical
 Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. A
 comparative national and regional priority ranking of the provinces was
 conducted using the total score of eight indicators, for the four
 dimensions of human-environment (ecosystems) interaction. Using, these
 ranks, all the provinces were grouped in low, high and medium priority
 provinces. The comparative ranking and categorization of provinces will be
 useful for designing policies and management operations for
 spatially-differential scientific planning and management of environment
 (ecosystems) at the regional and national levels in China.

Title: Encouraging 'Environmental Action' by Exhortation: Evidence from a Study in Devon 
Abstract:
  National and local campaigns to encourage 'Environmental Action' use a
 range of media to increase the levels of activities such as recycling,
 energy saving and water conservation. These are conventionally focused on
 the population as a whole. The research reported in this paper suggests
 that such an approach, based on a belief that general campaigns are
 effective, might not be very effective and could be modified to take
 account of how different groups of people behave. In addition, the focus
 of campaigns on sectoral activities like water and energy saving might
 also be inappropriate given our findings, which are based on a survey of
 1265 households in Devon. This found that three major types of behaviour
 characterise 'Environmental Action': purchasing, habitual activities and
 recycling behaviour. In addition, demographically and attitudinally
 defined clusters of individuals point to very different types of behaviour
 across the population. These findings suggest that more focused campaigns
 and a re-evaluation of how 'Environmental Action' is segmented would
 greatly assist policy makers in developing effective strategies for
 enhancing 'Environmental Action'.

Title: Explaining the Performance of Mature Municipal Solid Waste Recycling Programs 
Abstract:
  This paper assesses the contextual, programmatic and decision-making
 factors that affect the performance of mature municipal solid waste
 recycling programs. Tobit models were prepared for cities with populations
 of less than or more than 25&#x200a;000 to facilitate analysis of
 recycling performance. Recycling participation rates were found to be
 higher among cities in both groups that offered more convenient recycling
 programs and whose residents had a higher mean household income. The
 larger cities that achieved higher participation rates employed a
 decision-making process known as 'collaborative learning', imposed
 sanctions on improper sorting recyclable materials, and had a larger
 non-minority population. Among smaller cities, higher participation was
 attained by using variable fee pricing for solid waste collection and by
 mandating household participation. The study findings suggest that future
 research should focus on improved ways to characterize and measure the
 decision-making processes used to make policy changes in order to
 facilitate analysis of the causal and temporal relationships between
 decision-making processes and program performance.

Title: Economic Failures in French Recreational Fishing Management 
Abstract:
  In France, freshwater recreational fishing management does not
 sufficiently satisfy anglers. Fishing effort is too high creating
 congestion costs and environmental quality is low while there is a
 positive willingness-to-pay for improvements. These inefficiencies are
 explained by three phenomena. First, private property rights are
 attenuated under institutional pressure. Second, recreational fishing is
 managed as an open access resource over the whole territory. Finally,
 halieutic policies focus on the protection of environmental resources and
 are inefficient at maximizing the social rent provided by recreational
 fisheries. Fishing effort regulation and environmental services provision
 following the beneficiary-pays principle could improve collective welfare.
 Social pricing could ensure equity in access to the resource.

Title: Regional Industries and Environmental Impacts. Long-run Regional Economic Effects of Climate Change: The Case of the Coastal and Estuary Zone of the German Northwest 
Abstract:
  The paper explores the relations of (1) regionalized climate change
 impulses; (2) their impacts on regional industry sectors; and (3) a
 regional econometric impact analysis. It develops a methodology by which
 the impulses of a regional climate change scenario can be transformed into
 'primary' impacts on the capital stock and value added of
 climate-sensitive regional industries. These industries are vulnerable to
 'creeping', i.e. continuous, climate change impulses, and they tend to
 react through 'defensive' investment. In addition, a singular flooding
 event is simulated for a specific local area and its different capital
 stocks. The stock damages and value-added losses of both the continuous
 industrial impacts and the singular flooding are inserted into a regional
 econometric model. This is sectorally disaggregated in stock, value-added
 and investment functions. It is also calibrated in the very-long run
 (through to the year 2040), according to different scenarios. The regional
 economic 'secondary' effects on the regional GNP are calculated. In
 addition to the calculation of regional economic primary and secondary
 impacts, the methodological issue of generating more transparency of the
 causal chains by use of damage functions, reaction functions, and
 comparative defensive strategies are discussed.

Title: Use of Ecological Risk Data in the Development of Visions, Conceptual Site Models and Maps for Department of Energy Lands: Ensuring Sustainability of Protecting Human and Ecological Health 
Abstract:
  Recent interest in understanding the human and ecological health risks of
 contaminants on lands in the United States has led some managers and
 public policy makers to use extensive narratives associated with maps and
 Conceptual Site Models (CSM) in their Vision statements. While narratives
 are descriptive, CSMs can graphically depict the sources, releases,
 transport and exposure pathways, and receptors, together with possible
 barriers to block pathways and reduce exposure. In most situations, vision
 statements and CSMs are developed for one site, providing no opportunity
 to understand how they function generally. This paper reviews a set of 31
 Vision statements and CSMs developed for Department of Energy (DOE) sites
 to examine the use and importance of ecological data in the process. This
 analysis provides a framework for evaluating ecological resources and risk
 at contaminated sites generally. While data on human health risks were
 usually extensive, data on specific ecological receptors were sparse. Less
 than 70% of the sites mentioned endangered or threatened species, less
 than 40% provided even partial species lists for their sites, and less
 than 40% provided information on unique habitats. Almost no sites mapped
 the distribution of endangered/threatened species. Ecological receptors
 were treated as a class, without regard to whether they were terrestrial
 or aquatic, or sedentary or migratory. Only 29% of the sites referred to
 specific ecological risk assessments. Confusion existed with respect to
 routes of exposure, pathways of exposure, and media for exposure. Overall,
 the ecological information presented was not consistent across sites,
 making it difficult to compare ecological resources at risk, effects of
 remediation on ecological resources complex-wide, or to determine which
 resources were most important to protect if monetary resources are
 limited. One of the objectives of DOE in having sites develop these Vision
 statements was to achieve uniformity in information available for the
 public, managers, policy-makers, and decision-makers. Any variances from
 previously agreed-upon remediation will likewise require this detailed
 ecological information. The dataset indicates a clear need to delineate
 the key ecological information required for these stakeholders before
 effective decisions can be made across a wide complex of contaminated
 sites, and a list of potential indicators is suggested. This ecological
 information can be both qualitative and quantitative. Finally, the
 information developed for Vision statements (CSMs, maps) will be useful in
 ensuring continued human and ecological protection, and will contribute to
 the sustainable safety of remaining contamination on sites.

Title: Community-based Environmental Planning: Operational Dilemmas, Planning Principles and Possible Remedies 
Abstract:
  The operational dilemmas and challenges associated with the practice of
 community-based environmental planning (CBEP) are examined. The paper
 examines the frequently invoked 'bottom-up' versus 'top-down' dichotomy
 and argues that environmental governance is more complex, dynamic and
 multi-scalar than this simple dichotomy implies. The paper identifies six
 key problems with the CBEP approach: (i) the conceptualization of
 'community' which poorly accounts for difference; (ii) problems of
 inequality; (iii) the organizational capacity and efficacy of community
 groups; (iv) the scale of CBEP; (v) the types of knowledge utilized by
 communities in environmental management; and (vi) the potential for
 parochial concerns to dominate the priorities and agenda of community
 organizations. The paper analyses each of these issues, identifies
 planning principles that may aid resolution, and suggests possible
 remedies.

Title: Environmental Protection as a US National Government Priority: Analysis of Six Annual Public Opinion Surveys, 1999&#x200a;-&#x200a;2004 
Abstract:
  Public support for environmental protection in the US as a federal
 government priority has substantially dropped since 2001. Data for the
 years 1999&#x200a;-&#x200a;2004 show that the least support was from
 non-Hispanic white, middle-class, college educated and suburban residents.
 Poorer, black, and residents of large cities have become the strongest
 supporters. In addition, with the important exception of wanting the
 federal government to focus on job creation, the public is less interested
 in many other domestic program priorities, including crime prevention and
 regulating health care management. The results are not an ominous sign
 that the public has lost interest in environmental planning and
 management, but are interpreted here as a notice that there must be
 aggressive efforts to explain to the public, media and elected
 representatives that efforts are critically important to public health,
 job creation and economic development.

Title: 'Short Cut' Techniques to Incorporate Environmental Considerations into Project Appraisal: An Exploration Using Case Studies 
Abstract:
  Incorporating environmental and natural resource impacts into the
 benefit-cost analysis of projects in the developing world now relies on a
 solid body of theory and recommended techniques, but there remain concerns
 with how this is done in practice. One aspect arises when time and
 resource constraints make highly sophisticated analysis difficult or
 impossible. This paper discusses situations where analyses can be improved
 using relatively simple 'short cut' techniques that substitute for more
 formal analysis that cannot be undertaken realistically or provide an
 added perspective on project viability. Case studies are employed to
 illustrate the techniques, based upon the author's experience with
 appraisals at the World Bank, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and
 the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). It is shown
 that short cut techniques can dramatically alter the outcome of an
 appraisal at relatively little cost. However, caution is advised since
 such techniques can be misused, so that the development of suitable
 protocols is desirable.

Title: Is Democracy Good for the Environment? 
Abstract:
  This paper presents empirical evidence to support the existence of a
 relationship between democracy and one aspect of environmental quality,
 urban air pollution. The relationship between environmental quality and
 democracy is explored empirically using a regression analysis of urban air
 concentrations of three pollutants, sulfur dioxide (SO2), suspended
 particulate matter (SPM) and smoke, and two measures of democracy, the
 Freedom House Index and Polity III. The results suggest a significant and
 robust negative linear relationship between these pollutant concentrations
 and democracy level: the higher the level of democracy, the lower the
 ambient pollution level.

Title: The Peconic River: Concerns associated with different risk evaluations for fish consumption 
Abstract:
  Risk evaluation and assessment have been used as tools to regulate and
 manage the risks to consumers of eating self-caught fish that have high
 levels of contaminants. Armed with these risk assessments, health agencies
 issue consumption advisories, and in some cases, close some waters to
 fishing. Recently, regulatory agencies have used contaminant levels in
 fish as a benchmark for remedial action on contaminated sites, using human
 health risk assessment as the justification. The US Environmental
 Protection Agency's new surface water criterion for mercury is based on
 mercury levels in fish tissue. When multiple regulatory agencies have
 jurisdiction over the same waters or remediation site there is the
 potential for differing risk evaluations. Using the Peconic River on Long
 Island, New York as a case study, the paper examines how and why county,
 state, and federal health risk evaluations for fish contaminated with
 mercury differed. While the same risk methodology was applied by all
 agencies, the assessments were conducted for different purposes, applied
 different consumption and fish biomass assumptions, and arrived at
 different conclusions. The risk evaluations invoked to design fish
 consumption advisories use mercury levels currently in fish, and are
 designed to prevent current exposure. However, the risk assessments that
 provide a basis for remediation consider many different pathways of
 exposure (not just ingestion), and deal with long-term exposure. The risk
 evaluations, and recommendations promulgated by those agencies, differ
 because they have different goals, use different assumptions, and often
 fail to communicate among agencies. It is suggested that it is valuable to
 have these different levels of risk evaluations to adequately address
 health issues. However, there are policy implications, which include
 making the distinctions between the types of risk assessments, their
 methods and assumptions, and the rationale for these assumptions. Further,
 assessors and managers should involve all interested stakeholders
 (including regulators and state health officials) in discussions about the
 use of risk, the assumptions of risk assessment, and the goals of those
 evaluations. The difficulties in the case of the Peconic were not due to
 differences in the original data, but rather in the goals and type of risk
 assessments performed. If all deliberations had been transparent during
 all phases of the decision-making and management process, the conflicts
 within the minds of the public, regulators and other agencies might have
 been avoided. This case study suggests that more reliability,
 circumspection and transparency should be built into the process where
 multiple agencies and multiple objectives are involved.

Title: Community concerns about landfills: A case study of Hanoi, Vietnam 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the nature of community concerns about a landfill in
 Hanoi, Vietnam and compares these concerns to those found in studies of
 North American landfills. Based on a survey of 174 households living near
 Hanoi's landfill, it was found that concerns were uniformly high within
 the study area. Although the community initially believed the proponent's
 claims that the landfill would not pollute the environment, their faith in
 those claims disappeared once the landfill opened and began to produce
 numerous negative impacts on the community. Residents called for a variety
 of technical, management and economic measures to mitigate these impacts.

Title: Combining a participatory planning approach with a virtual landscape model for the siting of wind turbines 
Abstract:
  The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH Zurich is planning to build
 three wind turbines for the production of renewable energy. Their proposed
 location is near the campus of ETH Honggerberg in the Kaferberg open
 space. This open space is of high importance for the recreation of the
 local residents. It is one of the last open spaces in Zurich that is used
 agriculturally. In order to provide a broad forum for discussion and to
 examine the level of acceptance of the proposed wind turbines a new
 approach to participatory planning is pursued by introducing a virtual
 landscape model to a participatory planning workshop for which the
 different interest groups and stakeholders were invited. During the
 workshop different alternatives were discussed and suggested changes by
 the participants were incorporated in the 3D model and visualized. The
 results of the workshop show that 3D visualization is an important means
 of communication among the different interest groups. The workshop also
 shows that an early integration of 3D visualization combined with a
 participatory approach is an effective way to elucidate potential
 conflicts at an early stage of the planning process.

Title: 'Green On Green': Public perceptions of wind power in Scotland and Ireland 
Abstract:
  The wind energy debate represents a new kind of environmental controversy
 which divides environmentalists of different persuasions who attach
 contrasting priority to global and local concerns. Case studies of public
 attitudes towards existing and proposed windfarm developments in Scotland
 and Ireland are used to test three counter-intuitive hypotheses derived
 from previous attitudinal research. These are: (a) that local people
 become more favourable towards windfarms after construction; (b) that the
 degree of acceptance increases with proximity to them; and (c) that the
 NIMBY syndrome(not-in-my-back-yard) does not adequately explain variations
 in public attitudes. All three hypotheses are supported by this study.
 Large majorities favour wind power development in principle and in (local)
 practice. Although some aspects of NIMBY attitudes exist, the surveys
 reveal an 'inverse NIMBY' syndrome, whereby those with windfarms in their
 'backyard' strongly support the technology. The research endorses the view
 that aesthetic perceptions, both positive and negative, are the strongest
 single influence on individuals' attitudes towards wind power projects.
 Comparison of the current institutional factors driving wind energy
 development with those during earlier eras of hydro-power development and
 large-scale afforestation emphasizes the need for strategic planning
 guidance. The potential for using a planning-led approach to windfarm
 developments by adopting 'Indicative Windfarm Strategies' is discussed.

Title: Perceptions of river managers of institutional constraints on floodplain restoration in the UK 
Abstract:
  The restoration of river environments has been of growing importance to
 river management and planning in the UK. The extension of ecological
 restoration to floodplains as well as river channels is more complex,
 partly because of the range of stakeholders and the diversity of relevant
 management institutions. This paper draws on a qualitative survey of river
 managers in the UK to identify institutional factors relevant to the
 success or failure of floodplain restoration projects.

Title: Environmental equity and electric power generation: Disparate community outcomes within Texas? 
Abstract:
  The examinations conducted in this study focus at the community level to
 test for disparate outcomes involving utility-based electric power
 generation within the crucial state of Texas. Potential policy
 implications are discussed as relevant to the general thesis of
 environmental racism postulated by justice advocates and the civil rights
 strategies advanced by justice advocates. Cross-sectional and longitudinal
 perspectives are used in testing for distributive inequities involving
 locations of fossil fuel power plants and emissions and output rates of
 emissions originating from such power plants. These tests provide
 empirical basis for assessing outcomes of the siting and emissions
 regulatory processes. While the civil rights strategies that would use
 Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the disparate impact standard
 are inapplicable, some limited findings indicate disparate outcomes
 involving other disadvantaged populations that are difficult to justify in
 context of legitimate market dynamics. Issues raised in this study have
 relevance to national energy policy proposals that promote many more power
 plants across the USA and encourage emissions trading.

Title: Prerequisite conditions for meaningful participation in brownfields redevelopment 
Abstract:
  Current research in environmental planning supports decision making based
 on collaborative planning mechanisms. While current research clearly
 details the limitations to and prerequisites for meaningful public
 participation in general and for select environmental issues, there is
 little focus on them in brownfields redevelopment. In practice, the
 general assumptions are that brownfields redevelopment is an ideally
 situated policy issue for participatory planning. However, as this paper
 will illustrate through case study research, there are several situational
 prerequisites that must be met before there can be meaningful citizen
 participation in brownfields redevelopment. By highlighting these
 prerequisites, the author's goal is to mobilize research and policy
 efforts to overcome those limitations and to foster widespread meaningful
 participation in the redevelopment of brownfields in residential
 neighborhoods.

Title: A Methodology for an integrated risk assessment of spatially relevant hazards 
Abstract:
  Natural and technological disasters of the past have shown that such
 incidences significantly affect local and regional development. Faced with
 the task of ensuring economic, human and environmental development as well
 as insuring physical structures, planning authorities, insurance companies
 and emergency managers are looking for methodologies to identify highly
 sensitive areas in terms of their overall risk. Existing methodologies
 like the Natural Hazard Index for Megacities or the Total Place
 Vulnerability Index have limitations due to their sectoral approach, which
 makes them less useful for integrated spatial planning. This paper
 presents the Integrated Risk Assessment of Multi-Hazards as a new approach
 to serve as a basis for a spatial risk management process. The approach
 integrates various hazards into an integrated hazard map, combines this
 with the region's vulnerability and thus produces an integrated risk map.
 Moreover, the methodology offers a tool to derive weighting factors for
 hazards as well as for vulnerability components.

Title: Assessments of sustainable waste management alternatives: How to support complex knowledge management 
Abstract:
  The vision of sustainable development is a driving force for change. To
 understand more about processes of local policy making, and their
 prerequisites for such change, it is relevant to examine how individual
 actors use briefing material and how they make assessments in complex
 planning situations. This study is about the processing of knowledge in a
 case of planning of a future waste management system. In this case, the
 written briefing material was shown to have less impact on the arguments
 and assessments of participating actors. Consequently, process
 facilitation for complex planning situations needs to support and strive
 for collective, reflective and transparent knowledge management.
 High-quality process support thus needs to have its emphasis on arguments,
 rather than on particular assessment tools and the written briefing
 material.

Title: Evolving policies for conservation: An Historical Profile of the Protected Area System of Nepal 
Abstract:
  Nepal has instituted progressive conservation programmes since the 1970s.
 This move was in reaction to very rapid rates of land clearance in the
 lowland areas of the country and an opening up to the world that led to
 nature-based tourism as a major economic enterprise. Formal conservation
 began with the passage of national legislation in 1973 offering strong
 protection for national parks and wildlife reserves, but denied usufruct
 rights to rural communities. From the late 1970s to the 1990s, the
 legislation was amended several times. Each case was, in several
 fundamental ways, a loosening of control by government authorities. Nepal
 now has buffer zone legislation and allows for the designation of
 conservation areas in addition to the more-strictly defined categories.
 Beginning in the 1990s, both government and foreign-backed projects have
 been implementing landscape level conservation approaches; a number of
 initiatives in trans-boundary protected area management with India and
 China have also begun and non-governmental organizations have taken an
 increasingly active role. This paper considers the expansion of the
 protected areas network in light of historical, cultural and economic
 factors and concludes that Nepal has been reactive in adopting
 conservation programmes. Both outside and inside influences have strongly
 affected the development of conservation programmes and there are several
 areas in which more work needs to be done. This includes the need for
 implementing both national and international conservation law and adopting
 social and biological monitoring programmes in and around protected areas.
 In addition, factors outside the control of conservation officials (i.e. a
 Maoist insurgency) have indirectly hindered conservation programmes in
 recent years and have greatly complicated prospects for further success.

Title: An Application of Life-Cycle Assessment for Environmental Planning and Management: The Potential Environmental and Human Health Impacts of Growing Genetically-Modified Herbicide-Tolerant Sugar Beet 
Abstract:
  Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) was used to assess the potential
 environmental and human health impacts of growing genetically-modified
 (GM), herbicide-tolerant sugar beet in the UK and Germany compared with
 conventional sugar beet varieties. The GM variety results in lower
 potential environmental impacts on global warming, airborne nutrification,
 ecotoxicity (of soil and water) and watercourse enrichment, and lower
 potential human health impacts in terms of production of toxic
 particulates, summer smog, carcinogens and ozone depletion. Although the
 overall contribution of GM sugar beet to reducing harmful emissions to the
 environment would be relatively small, the potential for GM crops to
 reduce pollution from agriculture, including diffuse water pollution, is
 highlighted.

Title: Public Space Management: Present and Potential 
Abstract:
  This paper explores approaches to the management of external public
 space, both now and in the future. The paper is in five parts. The
 discussion begins with an exploration of why public space management is
 universally an important concern by drawing from literature that argues
 that the quality of public space has declined, and that a greater
 engagement of the public sector in its management is required. Next, the
 research methodology is discussed which sought to investigate the
 management of public space in England as an example of trends and
 responses that point to a broader international concern. The approach
 included both a national survey of the state of play in public space
 management and a series of case studies that sought to explore innovative
 practice. Third, the results of a national survey are briefly outlined,
 with discussion following the same structure as the survey itself. Next,
 the results of detailed interviews with 20 local authority case studies
 that exhibited interesting or innovative practice in the local management
 of public space are presented. In a final part, conclusions are drawn
 which confirm that this is an area of public sector responsibility in need
 of significant investment and reform, but also that top-down initiatives
 from national government are beginning to inspire a burgeoning range of
 local government initiatives below. Therefore, although public space
 management remains a fragmented area of local government activity, a
 number of local authorities are beginning to establish a corresponding
 bottom-up agenda that seems to map a potential way forward for the future.

Title: Incentives for private residential brownfields development in US urban areas 
Abstract:
  Public agencies in the US have committed resources to encourage private
 investment in reusing contaminated sites. With public funds in short
 supply, the effectiveness of their efforts matters both to the agencies
 and the development community. This paper draws on a mail survey of
 private developers that uses conjoint choice experiments to investigate
 the relative attractiveness of incentives to promote residential infill on
 contaminated property. Results suggest protection from third party
 liability offers the most value, with protection from cleanup liability
 and relief from public hearing requirements also important. The findings
 indicate several opportunities for planners to promote infill on
 contaminated sites in a socially and environmentally appropriate manner.

Title: Household participation in waste recycling: Some national survey evidence from Scotland 
Abstract:
  Increasing levels of household waste have raced up national, regional and
 municipal environmental policy agendas around the world, especially as
 heavy reliance on landfill and incineration is becoming prohibitively
 expensive and also a high profile source of local voter dissent or
 vociferous NIMBY behaviour. In an attempt to reduce reliance on these
 options, UK local authorities have increasingly been forced to turn to
 recycling. This paper reports on a broad empirical study of household
 recycling, utilizing national survey-based evidence (drawn from over 31
 000 interviews in Scotland). Hitherto, very few published empirical
 studies have addressed the household recycling decision using national
 survey data to furnish baseline evidence. For this purpose logit analysis
 is undertaken, using data extracted from the Scottish Household Surveys of
 2000 and 2001. This work also serves as the basis for further detailed
 modelling of a selection of illustrative household types. After
 consideration of particular waste streams and the availability of
 different recycling schemes, the effects on the probability of recycling
 participation of age, income level, household composition, car ownership
 and local authority were analysed. While there are clear income effects,
 the picture regarding the impact of household composition and some other
 factors is more complex.

Title: Planning for Water Quality: Implementation of the NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program in California and Kansas 
Abstract:
  In the United States, the federal government is increasingly relying on
 local governments to implement policies that address the nation's
 lingering environmental problems. Yet, little is known about the factors
 that influence local level implementation of a federal mandate. This paper
 explores local government response to the NPDES Phase II Stormwater
 Program in California and Kansas by investigating local conditions,
 perceptions of the federal program, and implementer characteristics. The
 study found that fiscal resources, a well-educated public, positive
 perceptions of the federal policy, and co-operative planning efforts lead
 to better compliance with the mandate and a higher quality response.

Title: Lexicographic preference in biodiversity valuation: Tests of inconsistencies and willingness to pay 
Abstract:
  Previous contingent valuation (CV) studies on biodiversity have indicated
 that as much as one-quarter of the respondents show lexicographic
 preferences when facing biodiversity-money trade-offs. This behaviour is
 incompatible with welfare theory underlying CV, and thus questions the
 validity and reliability of the outcome of CV of changes in biodiversity.
 However, it is difficult from CV responses to distinguish between strict
 and modified lexicographic preferences, and those attaching a high value
 to biodiversity. This paper adds to the empirical evidence showing that
 what at first hand seems to represent strict lexicographic preferences is
 at most representing modified lexicographic preferences, and probably
 rather represent just high valuation of biodiversity. Data on both
 hypothetical and actual willingness to pay (WTP) from a CV study on
 biodiversity were used to perform tests of inconsistent attitudes to
 estimate the maximum share of non-compensatory preferences for
 biodiversity. The results show that there are very few respondents in the
 group that consistently state high preference for biodiversity
 preservation and show clear reluctance to trade-off biodiversity with
 other goods. However, this group also had higher WTP, both hypothetical
 and actual, than the reference group. This is consistent with exchange
 preferences and steep indifference curves. Thus, people with lexicographic
 preferences for biodiversity are probably less numerous than previously
 indicated.

Title: The opportunity cost of regulating phosphorus from broiler production in the Illinois River Basin 
Abstract:
  The Illinois River Basin in eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas is an
 example of a region where significant growth in poultry production has
 been accompanied by water quality problems. The primary concern in the
 basin is the problem of phosphorus in runoff that is associated with
 application of litter to crops. Existing data suggest that there has been
 a continuing decline in the quality of water in the Illinois River, and
 discussions have focused on developing and implementing a phosphorus
 standard. The specific objectives of this study are to estimate the
 reduction in poultry production necessary to achieve the reduction in
 phosphorus runoff under a set of phosphorus constraints, including soil
 test phosphorus, and to estimate the opportunity costs of reducing poultry
 production in the basin under each phosphorus constraint on the economic
 activity in the watershed. A mathematical programming model that
 incorporates poultry production and cropping decisions is developed. The
 parameters for the model are identified and then it is solved to provide a
 base solution. Model solutions are then developed for the different policy
 target levels of phosphorus. The model structure is modified to account
 for the presence of soil test phosphorus levels and the corresponding
 limits on soil test phosphorus throughout the basin. This formulation
 includes current soil test phosphorus throughout the basin. All of the
 applications assume that the only disposal option for poultry litter is
 land application within the basin. An economic impact assessment of the
 effects of phosphorus limitations in the basin is also conducted for
 Arkansas counties only, Oklahoma counties only, and all five affected
 counties combined.

Title: Stated willingness to pay as hypothetical behaviour: Can attitudes tell us more? 
Abstract:
  The fact that people only state a hypothetical willingness to pay (WTP)
 in contingent valuation surveys still causes much debate. Doubters are
 sceptical about the reliability and validity of contingent valuation
 estimates, that is, whether people will actually pay the amount stated in
 the survey. Parallel to this discussion, social psychologists have
 conducted a great deal of research on the determinants of actual
 behaviour, particularly attitudes. Therefore, the objective of this paper
 is to analyse the relationship between different kinds of attitudes and
 behaviour. Based on this analysis, a composite attitude-behaviour model is
 developed and estimated using data from a contingent valuation about the
 river Elbe in Germany. The results show that attitudes towards the
 behaviour are the immediate antecedent of the behavioural intention.
 Accordingly, it is suggested that these attitudes along with attitudes
 towards the good in question and general attitudes should be measured in
 order to increase predictive validity.

Title: Public expectations about access fees and road closures on public lands 
Abstract:
  It is sometimes suggested that land managers could better communicate
 with the general public by relying on people who are active in community
 affairs to frame the message. By comparing responses from the 'attentive'
 and general public on the Colorado Plateau in the USA, this study
 investigated the expected effects of using recreation access fees or road
 closures to manage recreation on public lands. Although neither the
 attentive nor general public strongly anticipated benefits from the two
 management options, the attentive public was more likely than the general
 public to report positive expectations. Those more likely to expect fewer
 benefits from the management options do so because of factors that are
 outside the influence of managers (e.g., socio-demographics and value
 orientation). The results point out challenges for building public support
 through mobilizing the attentive public to develop a positive management
 atmosphere with fees and road closures.

Title: Does planning deregulation threaten the environment? The effect of 'permitted development' on the natural heritage of Scotland 
Abstract:
  This paper reports research into the effect on the UK environment of the
 deregulation of land development controls. One form of deregulation is
 granting advance approval to specified classes of small-scale development
 because they are considered inconsequential. Previous research has
 indicated that such 'permitted development' may adversely affect the
 natural heritage. This study systematically investigated its impact on the
 natural heritage of Scotland. The study canvassed the opinions of agents
 best placed to comment: natural heritage authority field staff, local
 government planners and representatives of non-governmental organizations.
 The results revealed concern about permitted development as a whole, and
 about specified classes. Despite professed concerns about sustainable
 development, UK planning modernization has failed to grasp the opportunity
 for a radical and fundamental reform of the scope of UK planning control
 in the context of contemporary environmental issues. Accordingly, there
 remains an unresolved tension between the desire to remove unnecessary
 state regulation of land development and the protection of the natural
 heritage.

Title: The contingent behavior of charter fishing participants on the Chesapeake Bay: Welfare estimates associated with water quality improvements 
Abstract:
  Water quality in the Chesapeake Bay has deteriorated over recent years.
 Historically, fishing has contributed to the region's local economy in
 terms of commercial and recreational harvests. A contingent behavior model
 is used to estimate welfare measures for charter fishing participants with
 regard to a hypothetical improvement in water quality. Using a truncated
 Poisson count model corrected for endogenous stratification, it was found
 that charter fishers not only contribute to the local market economy, but
 they also place positive non-market value on preserving the Bay's water
 quality. Using two estimates for travels costs it is estimated that the
 individual consumer surplus is $200 and $117 per trip, and the average
 individual consumer surplus values for an improvement in water quality is
 $75 and $44 for two models estimated.

Title: Regional electricity transmission planning and SEA: The case of the electricity company ScottishPower 
Abstract:
  Since 21 July 2004, formal strategic environmental assessment (SEA)
 requirements are in place for certain plans and programmes in European
 Union member states. Many public plans and programmes have been identified
 to fall under these requirements, and there has been a range of research
 activities particularly in land use and transport planning. However, the
 way in which SEA is to be applied in the private sector has remained
 largely unclear. Furthermore, to date there has been comparatively little
 reported private sector experience and the concrete benefits that SEA may
 deliver to private companies have not yet been discussed to any large
 extent. In order to address this shortcoming, the paper looks at SEA
 application in electricity transmission planning, taking the specific case
 of the privatized company ScottishPower as an example. Based on the
 evidence obtained, it is suggested that a structured SEA process can
 strengthen the environmental component and improve private sector
 decision-making processes. Corporate governance can be improved, if SEA is
 applied in a tiered system, addressing different issues and tasks at
 distinct stages in a clearly defined decision making hierarchy.

Title: Downscaling climate models and environmental policy: From global to regional politics 
Abstract:
  High resolution climate models of regions, or downscaling, promises to be
 at the forefront of future climate policy research. However, most research
 in this area is in the natural sciences, and the policy community has not
 taken full notice of this trend at their doorstep. Downscaling provides
 more concrete information about local impacts of climate change. This
 raises several important political issues surrounding extreme events,
 adaptation, risk and equity and legacy concerns, all of which are briefly
 addressed. The paper concludes with a call for more social science
 research on downscaling to accompany the rich geophysical science
 literature in the topic.

Title: In-channel sand extraction from the mid-lower Yangtze channels and its management: Problems and challenges 
Abstract:
  Sand extraction from the mid-lower Yangtze has increased rapidly since
 the 1980s, in contrast to a rapid decrease in sediment discharge from the
 Yangtze River into the sea. In-channel sand extraction poses great risks
 to flood protection, navigation channels and railway bridges. This paper
 reviews the recent history of in-channel sand extraction, discussing the
 present status and potential problems in legislation and management. It is
 concluded that the share of interests, the involvement of local criminal
 gangs and official corruption were the main difficulties for the ban on
 illegal sand extraction. It is proposed that the sites and amounts
 permitted for in-channel sand extraction should be re-evaluated under the
 new sediment budget after closure of the Three-Gorges Dam. It is necessary
 to explore the use of alternative materials in order to reduce the demand
 for natural sand while meeting the market needs for socio-economic
 development.

Title: Planning in collaborative wildlife management: A critical perspective 
Abstract:
  Wildlife managers are increasingly faced with planning and implementing
 wildlife management programs in collaboration with local governments, user
 groups, businesses and citizens. The planning process is inherently
 political as each group attempts to advance its interests. Current
 scholarship on the theory and practice of planning for wildlife management
 falls short of accounting for the politics of these processes. It is hoped
 that this paper will contribute to a theory of planning that both
 addresses the actual practices of wildlife planners and serves as a guide
 for future action. To this end, the dominant conceptualization of wildlife
 planning will be outlined and the study will draw on empirical and
 theoretical advances in the fields of adult education, organizational
 analysis and regional planning to construct a more politically-informed
 theoretical framework for understanding wildlife planning. This framework
 asserts that planning involves two types of negotiation of power and
 interests: (1) substantive negotiations which address procedural aspects
 of planning and (2) meta-negotiations which address political dynamics of
 planning. An earlier study will then be re-analyzed to illustrate how
 substantive and meta-negotiations occurred in a case of suburban deer
 management in the Northeast United States. It is concluded that accounting
 for issues of power and interests in wildlife planning theory provides a
 more complete representation of what wildlife managers actually do when
 planning programs and provides a guide for future wildlife planning
 practice. Future analyses of planning processes in wildlife management, or
 natural resources management more broadly, may reveal new insights if the
 concepts used to guide the analysis reported here provide an understanding
 of the politics involved.

Title: A case study of intra-community conflict as facility impact 
Abstract:
  Through a qualitative case study, this paper describes the everyday
 experience of conflict as a serious impact of noxious facilities. It
 describes intra-community conflict over two existing waste facilities (a
 regional landfill and a low-level hazardous waste facility) in Ryley,
 Alberta, Canada. Twenty-seven in-depth face-to-face interviews and one
 focus group reveal deep conflict presented as frustration, anger, social
 isolation and strained social relations between locals who 'support' the
 facilities as a means of bolstering the local economy and those who do not
 (mainly long-time resident farmers). Although the type of hazard exposure
 (i.e. existing facilities) is important for explaining why conflict
 developed and became entrenched, it is argued that the nature of
 community, and in particular differences in ways of life, are also
 critical determinants. The findings are compared to theory and other case
 studies concerning why social conflict develops over technological
 hazards. Implications for environmental impact assessment and
 environmental appeals are discussed, as well as compensation as one avenue
 for equitably reducing conflict.

Title: Strategic environmental assessment as a tool of environmental governance: Scotland's extension of the European Union SEA Directive 
Abstract:
  The coverage of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) has been
 extended to all public sector policies, plans and programmes subject to
 Scottish jurisdiction. Evaluation of the arguments advanced by the
 Scottish Executive for using environmental assessment as a tool for
 environmental governance requires an exploration of some of the contested
 interpretations of the function of environmental assessment at a strategic
 level. The paper examines the implications of this extension of the
 European Union SEA Directive in the context of current arrangements to fit
 environmental assessment into the UK tradition of integrated policy
 appraisal. It considers the methodological implications of using SEA
 explicitly for improving public sector decision making at all levels and
 across all activities. This enables environmental effects to be taken into
 account at an early stage in the formulation of government policy, through
 a transparent system of assessment which encourages public participation.

Title: Effectiveness of self-identified and self-reported environmental regulations for industry: The case of stormwater runoff in the US 
Abstract:
  US environmental controls for industry include numerous regulations that
 rely on the regulated community to self-identify, monitor, report, or
 complete other requirements on their own recognizance. These include
 state- and federal-issued general permits for stormwater discharges
 associated with industrial activities, effective in 1992, with known
 incomplete compliance by 2004. Results demonstrate highly incomplete
 compliance with variation in effectiveness among studied states and
 urbanized regions. Texas and Oklahoma, administered by US EPA during the
 research period, have attained higher compliance rates than California,
 administered by a state agency, or Florida, also administered by US EPA.
 Specific program designs and implementation strategies employed by states
 are evaluated for impacts on states' compliance effectiveness.

Title: Damage costs of nitrogen fertilizer in Europe and their internalization 
Abstract:
  This paper estimates the environmental impacts and damage costs
 ('external costs') of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer and discusses options
 for reducing these impacts, including their consequences for farmers and
 for producers of fertilizer. The damage costs of the fertilizer life cycle
 that could be estimated are large, about 0.3&#xa0;&#x20ac;/kgN (compared
 to the current market price of about 0.5&#xa0;&#x20ac;/kgN); much of that
 is due to global warming by N2O and CO2 emissions during fertilizer
 production and N2O emissions from fertilized fields. Policy options for
 internalizing these costs are discussed, and the consequences of reduced
 fertilizer input on crop yield are explored. If the damage costs were
 internalized by a pollution tax or tradable permits that are auctioned by
 the government, the economic consequences would be heavy, with a large
 revenue loss for farmers. However, if it is internalized by tradable
 permits that are given out free, the revenue loss for farmers is small.
 The loss for fertilizer producers increases linearly with the amount of
 external cost that is internalized, by contrast to the loss for farmers
 which increases quadratically but is very small for a damage cost of
 0.3&#xa0;&#x20ac;/kgN. Expressed as a change in the fertilizer-dependent
 part of the farmers' revenue (crop yield&#xa0;&#xd7;&#xa0;crop
 price&#xa0;-&#xa0;fertilizer used&#xd7; fertilizer price), the decrease is
 less than 0.5% for most crops; the losses are larger only for crops with
 low &#x20ac;/ha revenue. Averaged over wheat, barley, potatoes, sugar beet
 and rapeseed, the loss to farmers is about 0.1% in the UK and 0.4% in
 Sweden. The revenue loss for fertilizer producers is larger, about 8% in
 the UK and 14% in Sweden.

Title: From ACEA's voluntary agreement to an emission trading scheme for new passenger cars 
Abstract:
  This paper critically analyses the voluntary agreement of the European
 Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) which is intended to ensure a
 significant reduction of average CO2 emissions from new passenger cars. It
 concludes that the voluntary agreement is far from being an adequate
 solution in terms of both ecological effectiveness and economic
 cost-efficiency. Therefore, the paper proposes to replace the voluntary
 agreement by an emission trading scheme which directly places car makers
 under obligation. This switch in policy should be accompanied by further
 phased increases in the ecotax levied on fuels and a vehicle taxation
 system that places greater focus on CO2 emission.

Title: Multiple criteria decision making: Facilitating a learning environment 
Abstract:
  Effective decision making for sustainability requires consideration of
 multiple evaluation criteria. A numerical weight, assigned to each
 criterion, is the most common tool used to formalize preferences in
 Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). However, there are methods other
 than applying weights, which can be used to explore and articulate
 preferences. Two such groups have been identified as aspirational and
 holistic methods. The authors are interested in establishing if the
 different approaches to MCDM vary in their ability to facilitate a
 learning environment. There has been little examination of how this might
 best be achieved. An attempt is made to set out some hypotheses about
 which characteristics of MCDM tools may best support such learning.
 Additionally, three MCDM tools, representing the weighting, aspirational
 and holistic methods, are evaluated through a workshop for their ability
 to support individual learning. This includes a new tool, referred to as
 Target Ordering, which explores preferences through criteria targets
 rather than applying a weight to the criteria themselves.

Title: Analysis of the impact of the Arganda metro line on alternative road route emission levels 
Abstract:
  The object of the present work was to carry out the environmental
 assessment of a new metro line in Madrid by means of an emission model
 using a down&#xa0;-&#xa0;up methodology, calculation parameters of which
 were taken from the European Union-sponsored programmes CORINAIR 99 and
 COPERT 2000. The study assesses emissions over different time horizons,
 taking into account the resulting variations in traffic speed and
 intensity upon the opening of the new infrastructure. The results obtained
 show that the construction of the line has led to a significant reduction
 in the various pollutant emission levels, particularly in the areas closer
 to the city. The most significant reductions are expected to be even
 greater in future scenarios.

Title: Attitudes towards the conservation of biological diversity&#x2014;A case study in Kristianstad Municipality, Sweden 
Abstract:
  Human actions towards land, freshwater and oceans have already caused
 biodiversity to decline. This study aims to investigate attitudes towards
 the conservation of biological biodiversity among different groups in a
 Swedish city, Kristianstad. An inquiry including statements measuring
 attitudes towards the conservation of habitats, animals and plants, to the
 biological diversity within selected local areas, to global and national
 areas, and to societal issues, was replied to by 271 persons. Deciduous
 forests, birds and wild flowers were given highest priority. An area
 categorized as wetland including lakeshore meadows with a rich bird life
 was prioritized as most important for conservation while a forest area was
 chosen as best for recreation. The experts gave lower priority to arable
 land, urban parks, domestic animals, agricultural and garden plants and to
 conifer forests compared to the other groups. Knowledge about what people
 in general value as important could facilitate the future planning of
 nature areas in the city of Kristianstad.

Title: Evaluating regional sustainable development: Approaches, methods and the politics of analysis 
Abstract:
  One of the by-products of the culture of targets, performance and
 assessment, is the introduction of uniform methods for the evaluation of
 the success of policy interventions. Such an approach has been applied to
 attempts to evaluate regional sustainable development, often with
 unsatisfactory results. This paper reviews some of the fundamental
 requirements for the evaluation of regional sustainable development and
 provides research evidence that indicates the need for procedural and
 institutional innovation. The evidence in support of innovation reflects
 the need for assessment procedures and methods to be tailored-to-fit the
 environmental, social and economic conditions obtaining in an individual
 region. An additional consideration in analysing the evaluation of
 regional sustainable development is the extent of socio-political
 influence over the choice of procedures and methodologies.

Title: The European union as first mover in the market for greenhouse gas emissions permits 
Abstract:
  This study aims to analyse the potential market for emissions permits
 that the European Union (EU) established in 2005, in a first-mover
 attitude with regard to the frame of the Kyoto Protocol. To this end the
 integrated assessment Regional Integrated Climate and the Economy (RICE)
 model is employed, adapted to the specific objectives intended. A
 referential paretian-optimum price of US$25.63 tCO2 is obtained around the
 year 2007, which duplicates the hypothetical harmonized carbon tax. The
 ratio between the willingness to pay and the net environmental damages as
 a result of adverse climate change point to the high degree of commitment
 and the leadership initiative that seem to be assumed by the EU-15, the
 extended EU including Eastern European countries and the European OECD as
 a whole, with the hinterland geo-strategic referent represented by Russia
 and the Ukraine.

Title: Livelihood impacts of the conversion of cropland to forest and grassland program 
Abstract:
  Land use changes induced by the Conversion of Cropland to Forest and
 Grassland Program are found to provide farm households sampled in four
 counties from Shaanxi and Qinghai Provinces with increased net profits.
 This result is found to be robust for a range of discount rates and output
 price projections. The net present value of the difference in farm profits
 with and without the Program is found to be positive even when payments
 made under the Program are subtracted from with Program profits.
 Variations in the impact of the Program on farm household net profits were
 observed across the county samples. These results suggest that reversion
 to pre-Program land uses is unlikely as long as farmer's rights over
 converted land are well defined and defended.

Title: The US freshwater supply shortage: Experiences with desalination as part of the solution 
Abstract:
  Parts of the USA are facing impending shortages of freshwater. One
 proposed solution is the construction of desalination plants to turn
 seawater into freshwater. Although seawater desalination plants are widely
 used in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia, there are few
 desalination plants in the USA. In 2003, Tampa Bay Water built the largest
 desalination plant in North America. Persistent operating problems and
 escalating costs have caused the utility to re-evaluate its reliance on
 the seawater desalination plant as part of a long-term regional water
 supply strategy. In addition, environmental effects of the plant are
 uncertain. Advances in reverse osmosis technology have significantly
 reduced desalination costs. However, desalination of seawater is still
 more expensive than other freshwater supply sources and demand management
 measures. With time and research, seawater desalination may prove to be a
 sustainable, cost-effective source of new freshwater supplies, especially
 if plants are coupled with renewable energy sources. Until then, the
 development of small-scale groundwater desalination plants, the re-use of
 water, water conservation, and a more efficient allocation of water
 through higher prices and rising block rates will be important strategies
 in meeting growing water demand. Moreover, it is important to improve the
 coordination between water supply planning and land use planning as
 populations continue to increase.

Title: Geographic pollution mapping of power plant emissions to inform ex-ante environmental justice analyses 
Abstract:
  Federal and many state agencies are required to perform environmental
 justice analyses of their policies prior to implementing them to prevent
 undue impacts on low income and minority populations. However, little
 academic attention has been paid to the quality of these ex-ante
 environmental justice analyses. This investigation evaluates the methods
 used to perform environmental justice analyses during siting and
 permitting processes. The study uses both the California Energy Commission
 guidelines for environmental justice analyses and a method that
 geographically maps air pollution to perform ex-ante environmental justice
 analyses of three power plants. The objective is to see if results from
 using these two analysis methods differ substantially. Findings indicate
 that the mapping technique employed represents a substantial improvement
 over defining the impacted population using proximity methods because it
 accounts for the geographical distribution of the hazard. Furthermore,
 using multiple comparison benchmarks to determine whether the impacted
 population constitutes an environmental justice population improves upon
 existing methods by accounting for the spatial distribution of minority
 and low income populations and for the possibility that there is a
 relatively high or relatively low percentage of low income and minority
 persons in both the impacted and comparison regions.

Title: European nature conservation legislation and spatial planning: For better or for worse? 
Abstract:
  The implementation of the Birds and Habitats directives has been
 problematic in many member states of the EU. In the Netherlands, many
 decision-making processes have ended in judicial intervention. This paper
 analyses the problematic implementation of both directives in the
 Netherlands. It shows that nature conservation legislation has gained
 importance in decision-making processes, but that this does not
 automatically mean that nature conservation goals have been achieved.
 Because of the emphasis that is placed on the procedural aspects of
 decision making, the costs involved have increased, while the substantial
 goals of the European Birds and Habitats directives are fading into the
 background.

Title: An external validity test of intended behavior: Comparing revealed preference and intended visitation in response to climate change 
Abstract:
  We compare revealed preference and survey response estimates of changes
 in National Park visitation behavior from climate change. The revealed
 preference model is estimated from a time-series regression analysis of
 past visitation as a function of historic weather variability. We find no
 statistical difference between the revealed preference regression
 estimates and intended behavior estimates from a visitor survey for the
 total number of National Park visits. Confidence intervals for the two
 models overlap, and the mean estimates of the change in visitation are
 within 12% of each other. The paper concludes with the implications for
 natural resource planners and managers who must frequently evaluate the
 effects of alternative policies before the selection of a preferred
 alternative, and also must plan for accommodating changes in visitor use.

Title: Using markets for land preservation: Results of a TDR program 
Abstract:
  This paper reviews different approaches to using transferable development
 rights (TDRs) as a way to preserve rural lands in the face of development
 pressure. One TDR program is examined in detail, that of Calvert County,
 Maryland, which has had an active TDR market since the mid-1980s. This
 program uses TDRs as a key policy tool for achieving a total amount of
 preserved acreage in the county, and for providing incentives for
 preservation in some areas and development in others. The paper examines
 both the early difficulties in developing participation in the program,
 and the events that lead eventually to an active TDR market. It assesses
 the workings of the market including factors that influence the demand and
 supply of TDRs, the movement of prices over time, and the location of
 preserved areas and of additional developed areas. The study found that
 the program is achieving many of the county's land preservation goals
 because of the high level of activity in the TDR market. However, most of
 the additional density is being channeled into rural areas with underlying
 low-density zoning.

Title: In situ agrobiodiversity conservation: Examples from Nepal, Turkey and Switzerland in the first decade of the convention on Biological Diversity 
Abstract:
  Applications of in situ agrobiodiversity conservation practices within
 agricultural production systems have the potential to reduce the risks of
 agricultural modernisation and enhance sustainable development. The aims
 and approaches for in situ conservation differ according to the
 requirements of communities and nations. Approaches to in situ
 conservation in the decade after the Convention of Biological Diversity
 are reviewed within the contexts of marginal agricultural systems in
 Nepal, Turkey and Switzerland. Numerous approaches are currently utilised,
 including: the informal de facto retention of agrobiodiversity; the
 provision of state assistance; the marketing of agrobiodiversity products;
 the use of technological innovations to develop local diversity; the
 establishment of conservation reserves; community assistance programmes
 and the raising of awareness of the issue amongst all sectors of
 societies. Emerging complementary in situ approaches applicable in the
 rural margins suggest a framework for effectively conserving
 agrobiodiversity by working with local people.

Title: A watershed management framework for mountain areas: Lessons from 25 years of watershed conservationin Nepal 
Abstract:
  A watershed management framework for mountain areas is based on lessons
 learned from watershed management experience, social and institutional
 learning, and the use of a watershed management program evaluation in
 Nepal. The lessons led to the adoption of a subwatershed-based ecosystem
 approach based on local participation at the subwatershed level. An
 integrated watershed management framework (IWMF) consisting of eight steps
 with three checklists was developed focusing on improvement-oriented
 adaptive management. The eight steps lead to the preparation of a
 watershed management plan. In the process three checklists are used. While
 the first checklist has general questions pertaining to watershed
 analysis, the second allows participation analysis of stakeholders in
 terms of their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and opens
 up new prospects for further reinforcing or building new user group
 institutions based on consensus. The final checklist consists of
 hierarchical watershed management objectives, including goals, results and
 activities leading to a program planning matrix. The framework was applied
 to watershed planning in the Chure Region to compare the framework-based
 planning with conventional planning procedures. A significant difference
 in quality and substance of the output, with and without the use of the
 framework, suggests that an integrated framework is a useful tool for an
 ecosystem-based approach to natural resource management and
 socio-technical conservation.

Title: Mainstreaming environmental sustainability into South Africa's integrated development planning process 
Abstract:
  The advent of democracy in South Africa in 1994 has resulted in a radical
 law reform process, new systems of governance, and significantly
 transformed planning and decision-making processes. At the same time,
 principles of sustainability, integration, participation, social and
 environmental justice have also been placed squarely on the South African
 political agenda. Local government has become the intended focal point for
 addressing the socio-economic needs of local communities and sustainable
 service delivery, with the principal tool for achieving these
 developmental objectives the Integrated Development Plan (IDP). This paper
 examines the available policy frameworks, including those at the national
 level, guiding incorporation of environmental sustainability
 considerations into IDPs and highlights difficulties of achieving this in
 practice. Ideas for moving beyond rhetoric to practical mainstreaming of
 environmental sustainability considerations in IDPs are provided.

Title: What are the effects of contamination risks on commercial and industrial properties? evidence from Baltimore, Maryland 
Abstract:
  Using the hedonic pricing approach, this paper investigates how the
 information released on public registries of contaminated and potentially
 contaminated sites affects nearby commercial and industrial properties in
 Baltimore, Maryland. The study found that industrial properties are
 virtually unaffected by proximity to a site with a history of
 contamination, while commercial properties do suffer an external cost due
 to the proximity to a contaminated site. This external cost is not cleared
 once the site has been cleaned up or has been pronounced to be harmless.
 It also found that the impacts of urban economic development policies,
 such as Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Zones, have had positive effects
 on industrial property values, but less so on commercial properties. In
 sum, brownfield properties in Baltimore are not particularly attractive
 investments for developers, and there is little potential for
 self-sustaining clean-up based on appropriate fiscal incentives, such as
 Tax Increment Financing. It is doubtful that 'one size fits all' measures
 to encourage the clean-up of contaminated sites can be successful in this
 context.

Title: Management of natural hazards in Europe: The role of spatial planning in selected EU member states 
Abstract:
  This paper presents the results of an assessment made as a part of the
 research project, Applied Multi-Risk Mapping of Natural Hazards for Impact
 Assessment (ARMONIA). The aim was to identify which aspects in the
 so-called disaster management cycle are covered by spatial planning in
 planning practice in the European Union's member states of Finland,
 France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK. In contrast to
 the initial hypothesis, the analysis of planning practice has shown that
 the role of spatial planning in risk assessment and management in many
 ways has been overestimated. The results have shown that spatial planning
 is only one of many actors in risk management and that it is, in general,
 not involved in risk assessment. Further, multi-risk assessment approaches
 are not used in planning practice, risk indicators are hardly used and
 vulnerability indicators are not at all used. The paper will interpret
 these surprising results and will answer the question of the role of
 spatial planning in natural risk assessment and management.

Title: How to correctly assess mortality benefits in public policies 
Abstract:
  This paper concerns the difficulty of taking long-term effects on health
 into account in an economic valuation. Indeed, public decision makers
 should incorporate the cessation lag between implementation of an
 abatement policy and achievement of all of the expected mortality-related
 benefits for any projects involving health impacts. This paper shows how
 this time lag problem can be handled by proposing two
 approaches&#x2014;either in terms of deaths avoided or of life years
 saved&#x2014;within a dynamic perspective. The main findings are that
 long-term health benefits calculated by standard methods and widely
 applied to adverse health effects should be corrected downwards when
 incorporated into an economic analysis. The magnitude of correction
 depends on the discount rate, on technical choices dealing with
 epidemiology and on the method chosen to assess mortality benefits.

Title: Simplified planning regulations in Germany and the effects of landslides 
Abstract:
  In recent years, German laws pertaining to construction have been
 simplified with the goals of reducing administrative procedures and
 government expenditures. On the one hand, the new regulations are intended
 to simplify construction activities by the elimination of obstacles toward
 approval and by the simplification of governmental supervision procedures.
 On the other hand, a simplified approval process shifts the responsibility
 for compliance with building codes to the owners, consultants (architects,
 civil engineers, experts, etc.) and construction project managers. First
 experiences of damage to buildings show that streamlined construction
 approvals run the risk of neglecting basic geomorphologic and geologic
 fundamentals. Omissions are evident, which have led to failures at
 embankments and on building sites, causing considerable losses. The
 responsible administrations have reacted in different ways to the changed
 conditions, as far as they already are aware of the possible implications.
 In southern Lower Saxony State, the planning agencies have reacted to the
 growing responsibilities by attempting to determine at an early stage
 hazards in areas that are being developed. The practice aims to ensure
 that neither the planned construction activities nor the buildings
 themselves pose a threat for the residents. However, in the context of
 weighing these land-use decisions, it becomes apparent that in the future,
 administrative employees will have to be trained to foresee potential
 problems caused by the new regulations, while those affected by the
 decisions must receive advice on how to proceed. At the same time,
 latitudes and guidelines for dealing with geomorphologic hazards have to
 be defined.

Title: A Method for assessing protected area allocations using a typology of landscape values 
Abstract:
  Traditional park and reserve selection techniques that rely exclusively
 on expert assessment can marginalize local knowledge and values in the
 review process. Using survey data from the Otways region of Victoria,
 Australia, we present a method that differentiates between public and
 private lands using locally perceived landscape values. The results are
 used to assess prospective national park expansion areas. Two data models
 of mapped landscape values&#x2014;vector and raster&#x2014;were analysed
 using discriminant analysis to classify and predict land status. Results
 indicate survey respondents hold more indirect and less tangible values
 for national parks and reserves, and more direct use values for private
 lands. There was moderate agreement between public and expert-derived
 national park boundaries. The mapping of local landscape values appears
 useful in planning and reviewing public land classifications, and when
 combined with biological assessments, can strengthen protected areas
 planning and management in Australia and elsewhere.

Title: A smooth progression? From forward planning to development control for opencast coal mining in the light of current planning review 
Abstract:
  Recent concern and debate over the effectiveness of the British planning
 system has focused on uncertainty and delay in application outcomes,
 coordination among, and prescriptive value of, different types of plans
 and the degree of engagement of communities. This paper contributes to the
 debate by reviewing the planning procedures for opencast coal mine
 development and presenting empirical findings on their implementation in
 the mid 1990s when conflicts of interest were particularly pronounced and
 when changes in the attitude towards coal's importance to the national
 interest were discernible. By investigating a contentious type of
 development and identifying the nature, and the range of interests
 involved, a number of points relevant to this debate arise. These concern
 the value of development plans as guiding documents both for developers
 and the general public; difficulties in involving the public and
 generating consensus at the forward planning stage and associated impacts
 at the development control stages; and the importance of the type of
 development to resolving conflict.

Title: Planning methodology for predicting spatial patterns of risk potential from industrial land uses 
Abstract:
  The nature of environmental risk is often determined by the location
 patterns of industrial firms in a locale. We develop a methodology for
 analyzing the capacity of toxics-generating industries to leave toxic
 residuals on the landscape, in the context of long-term master planning.
 To understand an area's risk profile, we first characterize the location
 pattern of risk-generating firms and develop ways to represent the risk
 potentials of these shapes. To this end, we develop a geometric approach
 for characterizing the spatial patterns of these clusters of dirty
 industries, using new measures for analyzing spatial densities and
 compactness. We then introduce context (i.e. actual zoning patterns,
 transportation corridors) and explain how this relates to the spatial
 patterns found. We illustrate this analytical method with application to
 Orange County, California, USA and point out how it affords a deeper
 understanding of the connections between industry and environmental risk.
 We end the article with a discussion of how these analytical methods might
 be used for land use planning.

Title: Governing local sustainability 
Abstract:
  This paper draws upon the DISCUS (Developing Institutional and Social
 Capacity for Sustainable Development) research project, co-funded by the
 European Commission. The project was undertaken during
 2001&#xa0;-&#xa0;2004 and involved an in-depth study of 40 European towns
 and cities in order to understand the institutional and social factors and
 conditions that might contribute to policy 'achievement' or 'failure' in
 local sustainable development policy and practice. Based on the findings
 of this research it proposes a conceptual framework for local sustainable
 development, linking the concepts of institutional capital, social capital
 and governance to provide a model for understanding the governing of local
 sustainability. The research shows that in those cases that exhibit
 sustainable development policy achievements, there are also greater levels
 of civil society activity and knowledge regarding sustainability issues,
 and high levels of institutional capacity. Confident local government is
 crucial to the development of institutional capacity and to institutional
 learning. One aspect of this is local authorities being equipped to
 address the longer-term issues and to have a strategic vision for a
 sustainable future.

Title: Water demand management in England and Wales: Constructions of the domestic water user 
Abstract:
  Measures to manage demand include implicit and explicit messages about
 domestic water users, which have important potential impacts on their
 perceptions and practices. Drawing on recent literature, this paper
 identifies three different 'dimensions' along which demand management
 measures' constructions of the water user may vary: these relate to
 whether the water user is passive or active, whether they are motivated by
 individual or common needs and whether they perceive water as a right or a
 commodity. Demand management measures currently used in England and Wales
 are then discussed and analysed. The paper concludes by highlighting the
 importance of communications associated with demand management, and in
 particular, notes the need to consider the cumulative impact of messages
 and their interactions with people's existing understandings.

Title: Some community socio-economic benefits of watershed councils: A case study from Oregon 
Abstract:
  One of the most significant junctures in natural resource planning and
 management in recent years has been the emergence of community-based
 natural resource management (CBNRM). The central focus of CBNRM is the
 environment, of course. However, it explicitly considers the local economy
 and community as well. It is a highly participatory approach to local,
 place-based projects, programs and policies aimed simultaneously at
 environmental and community health. This paper is an attempt to shed light
 on what happens in the local economy and community as a result of pursuing
 a CBNRM strategy. Oregon has been in the vanguard in putting CBNRM into
 operation. A key example is the state's experience with local watershed
 councils and the state agency that supports them, the Oregon Watershed
 Enhancement Board (OWEB). Drawing from a larger study of Oregon's
 watershed councils, we ask and answer the questions: 'What direct
 contribution do watershed councils make to the local economies of
 Oregon?'; 'Do watershed councils contribute to 'civic engagement' in
 Oregon?' and 'Do they enhance individuals' and communities' capacity to
 engage in public issues beyond watershed council activities?'

Title: Design of environmentally and socially conscious water metering tariffs for the UK 
Abstract:
  England is one of the few industrialised countries where water metering
 is not compulsory. Most households instead pay a fixed charge regardless
 of use. Yet water consumption is already at the limit of resources and
 beyond them in some regions. Despite the need to control demand,
 compulsory water metering has not been implemented largely because of
 concerns about the regressive impact on poorer households. This research
 analysed new data from Anglian Water on household water consumption and
 income to examine the distributional impacts of ten different hypothetical
 tariff designs. It was found that it was possible to design
 revenue-neutral metered tariffs that would cause only a small percentage
 of low-income households to lose and most to gain. With sensitive design,
 the social concerns about compulsory water metering can be dealt with.

Title: Composite market design for a Transferable Discharge Permit (TDP) system 
Abstract:
  There has been a great deal of interest in addressing water quality
 issues through the use of Transferable Discharge Permit (TDP) systems.
 Unfortunately, the attempts to start up permit markets that are able to
 exploit abatement cost differences between sources have not met with the
 success expected. Two of the reasons for the lack of success have been the
 problem of transaction costs and in the case of non-point sources (NPS),
 undefined property rights. The composite market design is a proposal for a
 TDP system that specifically includes agricultural non-point source (NPS)
 discharges and addresses both property rights and transaction cost
 problems. The composite market consists of three interrelated markets each
 serving a particular function. The two primary markets are coordinated
 through price information that makes it possible for a catchment-based
 authority to issue (sell) permits based on the marginal cost of abatement.
 When the composite market is mature, the total number of permits issued
 corresponds to a cap on discharges allowed in the catchment. The structure
 of the composite market allows this system to be phased in over time with
 existing institutions and limited demands on financing.

Title: Gearing-up governance for sustainable development: Patterns of policy appraisal in UK central government 
Abstract:
  The UK is reportedly an international leader in the application of
 environmental policy appraisal (EPA). From the late 1980s until 2004, UK
 central government sought to produce ex ante assessments of the potential
 environmental impacts of different policy options. Critics maintain that
 EPA had a very limited impact on policy-making activities in Whitehall
 departments. However, the empirical basis for these claims is surprisingly
 thin. This paper seeks to better understand what facilitated or retarded
 EPA by looking at its use in Whitehall, with the aim being to draw lessons
 for the UK's new and more integrated appraisal regime, as well as similar
 systems in the European Union. The paper finds that the implementation of
 EPA was both weak and highly sectorised, and that there is an underlying
 resistance to policy appraisal per se in Whitehall. These weaknesses
 urgently need to be addressed otherwise new systems of integrated
 appraisal will not deliver what is expected of them.

Title: A framework for assessing the sustainability of brownfield developments 
Abstract:
  In England, the development of urban brownfield sites is a significant
 planning policy aimed at supporting urban regeneration and protecting the
 countryside. Brownfield sites are required, in policy, to be developed in
 a sustainable way. However, determining what this means in practice is
 unclear. This paper presents a framework for assessing the sustainability
 of brownfield developments, devised to clarify the stakeholders in land
 reuse and establish how sustainability can be achieved on reused sites.
 The framework has been used in research investigating the sustainability
 of five brownfield developments in England. The performance of the
 framework in this research is assessed and its potential practical use
 outlined.

Title: Investment in water infrastructure: Findings from an economic analysis of a national programme 
Abstract:
  Mixed findings emerge from this ex post Cost-Benefit Analysis of a major
 water investment programme in Ireland. Water supply and conservation
 investments, where most benefits were internal, generally proved
 worthwhile. Wastewater investments could not be analysed fully due to lack
 of environmental data. Here the authors estimated the level of
 'willingness-to-pay' that would have been required to 'justify' the
 investments. In some cases the required level seemed implausibly high,
 raising questions as to prioritisation of projects. The authors recommend
 a more systematic approach to recording environmental benefits in future
 investment programmes, the next likely wave being in new EU member states
 seeking to meet environmental standards. The EU, as likely co-funder of
 these investments, should require systematic recording of environmental
 benefits.

Title: Measuring total sustainable incomes from multifunctional management of Corsican Maritime Pine and Andalusian Cork oak Mediterranean forests 
Abstract:
  Enough advances have recently been made in income accounting theory to
 recommend that environmental services accruing either to the forest owner
 or to the general public should be included in the forest accounting
 system. In this study, the results of two case studies, one in Bonifatu,
 Corsica (France) and the other in Alcornocales, Andalusia (Spain), show
 that private environmental services provide the majority share of social
 total sustainable income in Alcornocales (29%), whereas public
 environmental services are the most relevant in Bonifatu (32%). The social
 total sustainable income measured by the agroforestry accounting system
 is, respectively, 1.6 and 2.4 times higher than the income estimated by
 economic accounts for forestry in Alcornocales and Bonifatu forests.

Title: Sectoral sustainability and sustainability assessment methodologies: A review of methodology in light of collaboration with the UK oil and gas sector 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses methodologies that have been employed to give
 insights into business performance in relation to sustainable development,
 both at a sectoral and corporate level. From consideration of different
 sectoral sustainable development methodologies, some key issues and good
 practice related to their derivation are elaborated. These issues are then
 further illustrated by a detailed comparison between three sustainable
 development methodologies that have been used in the UK offshore oil and
 gas industry. The methodologies chiefly differ in terms of how they
 address the problem of comparing different impacts across potentially
 non-commensurable dimensions, one proceeding through explicit monetary
 valuation, another through implicit valuation of different options and
 another through presentation of an unaggregated framework of indicators.
 The paper concludes by identifying the different situations in which use
 of these different methodologies is appropriate.

Title: California households' willingness to pay for 'green' electronics 
Abstract:
  Concerns about rapid increases in the volume of electronic waste
 (e-waste) and its potential toxicity have sharpened policy makers'
 interest for extended producer responsibility to encourage manufacturers
 of consumer electronic devices (CEDs) to 'design for the environment'.
 This paper examines consumer willingness to pay for 'green' electronics
 based on a 2004 mail survey of California households. Using ordered logit
 models, it was found that significant predictors of willingness to pay for
 'greener' computers and cell phones include age, income, education,
 beliefs about the role of government for improving environmental quality,
 as well as environmental attitudes and behaviors, but neither gender nor
 political affiliation. Although most respondents are willing to pay only a
 1% premium for 'greener' CEDs, innovation and EU directives may soon make
 them competitive with conventional CEDs.

Title: The urban governance of transport and the environment in the city of Kristiansand 
Abstract:
  This paper studies local institutions established for better
 co-ordination of environmental and transport policies. The empirical case
 is an institution called the Land-use and Transport forum (ATP) in the
 city area of Kristiansand in Norway, where municipal, county and state
 organisations have been brought together in decision making and
 implementation processes. ATP's relationship with private business
 organisations is also analysed. It is argued that the case is an example
 of how groups of actors and partnerships can shape new discourses. The
 paper shows that urban governance relations are changing from a sectorally
 focused mode of governance to a more open and inclusive style in
 Kristiansand.

Title: Evaluating the policy to restrict the potentially invasive black carp (Mylopharyngodon Piceus): A decision protocol with assurance bonding 
Abstract:
  The introduction of potentially invasive species is a concern to the
 public and the aquaculture industry. Used to protect channel catfish from
 infectious trematode infestations, the non-indigenous black carp has been
 evaluated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and deemed
 potentially 'injurious' under the terms of the Lacey Act. Consequently,
 the black carp may be restricted from interstate commerce and eventually
 removed from US waters. An alternative approach to evaluating the risks
 posed by invasive species is considered and compared to that used by the
 USFWS. Short of outright restriction, reasonable options for management of
 such invasive species probably exist, including better use of
 environmental assurance bonds and return-deposit models.

Title: Scales of justice: Is there a geographic bias in environmental equity analysis? 
Abstract:
  Many empirical environmental justice (EJ) studies lack a systematic
 framework in which to undertake research and interpret results. This paper
 characterizes the conventional EJ study and examines how results can be
 influenced by the choice of the spatial scale and scope of analysis. After
 thoroughly reviewing a sample of prominent EJ studies, a conventional EJ
 study was performed for (Superfund) National Priorities List sites at
 multiple scales and scopes. It was found that evidence of environmental
 injustice could be sensitive to scale and scope chosen, which partly
 explains the observed inconsistency in the empirical literature.
 Implications for interpreting existing EJ research and conducting future
 EJ research are discussed.

Title: Preferences for alternative risk management policies at the United States major nuclear weapons legacy sites 
Abstract:
  A survey of 1351 people who lived within 50 miles of one of six US
 Department of Energy nuclear weapon sites showed that the vast majority of
 residents prefer strong public health surveillance and land use controls.
 The sample was stratified so that the same number of responses was
 obtained at each site. The strongest correlates of wanting the DOE to
 restrict on-site activities and maintain and expand its surveillance
 programs were worries about DOE activities on the site, as well as how
 those activities could damage the off-site environment. Notably, the
 exceptions, that is, those who demanded less from the DOE and were not
 particularly worried about the DOE's activities, tended to live near the
 site, many worked there or knew people who did, and had high
 socio-economic status, and trusted the DOE. The findings are mostly, but
 not entirely, consistent with expectations drawn from the risk perception
 and organizational trust literatures. The challenge is how to establish a
 stewardship program that represents a consensus among state and local
 government, community advisory boards and the public that remediation can
 go on at the same time that some waste is managed on-site until suitable
 technologies can be safely deployed, which at some sites means 100 years
 or in perpetuity.

Title: Green exercise in the UK countryside: Effects on health and psychological well-being, and implications for policy and planning 
Abstract:
  There is evidence that contact with the natural environment and green
 space promotes good health. It is also well known that participation in
 regular physical activity generates physical and psychological health
 benefits. The authors have hypothesised that 'green exercise' will improve
 health and psychological well-being, yet few studies have quantified these
 effects. This study measured the effects of 10 green exercise case studies
 (including walking, cycling, horse-riding, fishing, canal-boating and
 conservation activities) in four regions of the UK on 263 participants.
 Even though these participants were generally an active and healthy group,
 it was found that green exercise led to a significant improvement in
 self-esteem and total mood disturbance (with anger-hostility,
 confusion-bewilderment, depression-dejection and tension-anxiety all
 improving post-activity). Self-esteem and mood were found not to be
 affected by the type, intensity or duration of the green exercise, as the
 results were similar for all 10 case studies. Thus all these activities
 generated mental health benefits, indicating the potential for a wider
 health and well-being dividend from green exercise. Green exercise thus
 has important implications for public and environmental health, and for a
 wide range of policy sectors.

Title: Joint submissions, output related payments and environmental co-operatives: Can the Dutch experience innovate UK agri-environment policy? 
Abstract:
  This paper describes three relatively recent innovations in the Dutch
 agri-environment programme which have helped nature management to be
 contiguous with natural features allowing the landscape to be managed
 whole rather than piecemeal&#x2014;and thus generate higher quality and
 greater scope in environmental management. The first two, joint
 submissions by neighbouring farmers and payments related to the level of
 environmental output delivered, are scheme innovations. The third,
 Environmental Co-operatives (EC)&#x2014;clubs of neighbouring farmers that
 inter alia co-ordinate and help manage the scheme innovations&#x2014;is an
 institutional innovation. None has an equivalent in the UK. Evidence from
 interviews with farmer and non-farmer members, policy makers, academics
 and other interested parties show the role EC play in overcoming some of
 the postulated problems of the two scheme innovations. Not all the
 problems have been overcome, and cost-benefit analyses have not been
 conducted, nevertheless there is sufficient evidence to suggest that these
 innovations have benefited all actors involved: farmers, the government,
 the environment and the rural economy. Analysis of UK agri-environment
 policy using actor network theory (ANT) suggests the UK government will
 need to show similar levels of trust in and commitment to the farming
 community before these innovations could be introduced in the UK.

Title: Towards a Sustainable Urban Environmental Management Approach (SUEMA): Incorporating environmental management with Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) 
Abstract:
  An Environmental Management System (EMS) has been widely in use by many
 companies to manage the environmental effects of their operations. The
 process has recently gained ground in being adopted at city and municipal
 levels as well as in institutions such as universities. However, an EMS
 that is conducted at corporate level has some deficiencies when it is
 applied at city level. These deficiencies are in evaluating environmental
 goals and policies carried out to mainly ensure that the policies meet ISO
 14001 standard and corporate requirements and neglect of public
 participation. Urban areas differ from companies due to their size,
 complexity and environmental challenges, high rate of growth and the
 dynamic nature of urban systems. Therefore, they need an urban
 environmental management approach that will assess the formulated urban
 environment policies and goals in a strategic method before
 implementation, including social dimensions such as public participation.
 Therefore, this paper proposes a modified approach to incorporate an EMS,
 called the Sustainable Urban Environmental Management Approach (SUEMA).
 The approach recognizes the above-mentioned deficiencies and benefits from
 the advantages of sustainability and Strategic Environmental Assessment
 (SEA) in the formulation and evaluation of policies, plans and programs.
 SUEMA is developed to ensure more sustainable urban environmental planning
 and development.

Title: Participatory evaluation of collaborative and integrated water management: Insights from the field 
Abstract:
  The Maitland Watershed Partnerships (MWPs) is a multi-stakeholder forum
 established in 1999 in an agricultural watershed in Southwestern Ontario,
 Canada. This paper presents 10 lessons emerging from the participatory
 evaluation of the MWPs carried out in 2005. As suggested in the literature
 and highlighted by the experience of the MWPs, multi-stakeholder
 collaboration and integration is about learning how to cope with and take
 advantage from difference, diversity and divergence. Watershed
 partnerships are arenas in which different types of knowledges, diverse
 values and divergent sectoral perspectives, are confronted. In this
 context, inter-organizational leadership is essential to develop and
 sustain collaborative advantage among multiple public, private and civil
 society actors. According to the experience of the MWPs, however,
 embracing difference, diversity and divergence should go well beyond
 initial planning stages. Instead, pursuing compromise and agreement should
 also be at the forefront during the monitoring and evaluation stages.
 Negotiating indicators for monitoring and evaluation that can address
 water management both as a social process and a technical process is
 critical, as is making the distinction between partnership outputs and
 partnership outcomes.

Title: Setting rational environmental goals: Five Swedish environmental quality objectives 
Abstract:
  Goals and performance targets are commonly used as tools in the
 policy-implementation process. In Sweden, environmental policy is
 operationalized through a system of environmental quality objectives that
 were adopted by the Swedish Riksdag in the late 1990s. The objectives
 describe what level of environmental quality Sweden should aim for within
 a generation, and are designed to guide decision making in all sectors of
 society. However, to guide decision making toward improved environmental
 quality, these objectives should satisfy a set of rationality
 (functionality) criteria; they should be precise, evaluable, approachable,
 motivating and coherent. In this paper, five Swedish environmental quality
 objectives are investigated through an application of the suggested
 criteria: (1) a balanced marine environment, flourishing coastal areas and
 archipelagos; (2) a magnificent mountain landscape; (3) a non-toxic
 environment; (4) natural acidification only; and (5) a good built
 environment. The aim of the paper is to bring the rationality of the
 objectives up for discussion, and to illustrate the range of issues and
 difficulties that are involved in choosing and assessing environmental
 policy goals.

Title: Health impact assessment in San Francisco: Incorporating the social determinants of health into environmental planning 
Abstract:
  The social determinants of health refer to social, economic and
 environmental factors that influence well-being including economic
 inequality, residential segregation, sub-standard housing, lack of
 supermarkets, schools, transit and open-space, and disruptions to family
 and social networks. This paper asks whether and how the practice of
 health impact assessment (HIA) can integrate the social and physical
 determinants of health into planning processes, overcome institutional and
 analytic barriers for health analyses in environmental impact assessment,
 and offer a new model for healthy urban planning. This is done by
 examining how a municipal health agency, the San Francisco Department of
 Public Health, utilized HIA to conduct health analyses of development
 projects, collaborate with other city agencies and community groups, and
 initiate a multi-stakeholder prescriptive HIA all aimed at integrating
 health into environmental planning practices. This case is important
 because the San Francisco DPH is the first city agency in the US to
 experiment with using HIA that aims to capture the physical and social
 environmental health impacts of projects and plans. The paper finds that
 HIA can inject the social determinants of health into planning when public
 agencies embrace an expanded definition of environmental health, organize
 health advocacy networks within and outside government, and generate a
 broad scientific evidence base to substantiate policy change.

Title: Incentives and outcomes: Evaluation of a Swedish environmental subsidy programme 
Abstract:
  This paper empirically evaluates a Swedish government subsidy to
 environmental sustainability, the Local Investment Programme (LIP). During
 the programme period, 1998&#xa0;-&#xa0;2002, more than 670 million was
 granted to 1814 different municipal projects, making it the largest
 Swedish subsidization to ecological sustainability to date. For the 682
 projects evaluated here, it was found that the projects were rewarded
 smaller subsidies than granted. To explain the gap between granted and
 rewarded subsidies, the gap was decomposed into a quantity effect,
 depending on the quantified environmental and employment outcomes of the
 projects, and a price effect, depending on the government's valuation of
 these outcomes. Whereas no statistically significant quantity effect was
 found, there was a large statistically significant price effect,
 indicating that the government paid the municipalities less than promised
 in the granting decision.

Title: Using choice experiments to design wetland management programmes: The case of Severn Estuary Wetland, UK 
Abstract:
  This paper reports the results of a pilot valuation study, which was
 undertaken to investigate whether the public located around the Severn
 Estuary derive positive economic values from its sustainable management.
 One hundred members of the public took part in a choice experiment, the
 results of which indicate that overall the public derives positive and
 significant values from sustainable management of this wetland, however,
 there is some preference heterogeneity. The findings demonstrate that the
 choice experiment method is a promising tool, which can aid the design of
 socially optimal policies for sustainable management of the Severn
 Estuary, with possible implications for other similar wetlands in the UK.

Title: Community-based energy policy: A practical approach to carbon reduction 
Abstract:
  Whilst the existence of global climate change is no longer seriously
 contested and most governments are seeking to adopt appropriate responses,
 the rate of engagement with these measures is slow. Top-down policies and
 reliance on market mechanisms are failing to produce the reductions in
 energy demand and shifts away from fossil fuel reliance that are required.
 This paper outlines an example of a research programme that seeks to
 deliver more rapid change. It focuses on the potential for carbon emission
 reduction in a deprived community in South Yorkshire, UK, and reports on
 an approach that could be replicated elsewhere. The method includes
 estimation of baseline energy demand, energy efficiency potential and
 renewable energy resource assessment as a precursor to action. An
 innovative community-based energy service company is described and the
 benefits of a community-based bottom-up approach to carbon reduction are
 outlined.

Title: Renewable energy in remote communities 
Abstract:
  This research has demonstrated that even in a small urbanised country
 like Britain, communities can still be remote. The paper analyses the
 nature of remote settlements and suggests that beyond the rural idyll,
 there are deprived communities. In order to obtain real data, a study area
 in the North Pennines was selected. The types of remote communities were
 evident throughout the study area and one of each type was selected for
 further study. It became clear that villages with an industrial base had
 most potential, due to high energy demand, vulnerability and community
 involvement. A village with a high measure of multiple deprivation and
 suffering from fuel poverty was chosen for a more detailed investigation.
 Energy demand profiles were developed and candidate technologies
 nominated. The latter were tested by filters that assessed fitness for
 application, robustness and autonomy. The most appropriate combinations of
 technologies were proposed. The residents and their community
 representatives were involved in the process and recognised the benefits
 of the proposals to themselves and others.

  By committing to green procurement, the UK government has taken a key
 initial step towards sustainable development. But can this be put into
 practice? This policy analysis explores the background to green
 procurement in English local government through desk research and data
 collection, including interviews with five local authorities. It finds
 that green procurement has been encouraged through legislation, providing
 information and dismantling barriers, but momentum was lost following the
 Gershon review. Implementation of the new action plan would ensure green
 procurement becomes embedded within government procurement. New
 information to link up green procurement with organisational goals would
 also expand the horizons of green procurement.

Title: Valuing externalities from water supply: Status quo, choice complexity and individual random effects in panel kernel logit analysis of choice experiments 
Abstract:
  Choice experiments are often implemented with choice sets including one
 alternative depicting the status quo. Utility from status quo is
 experienced by the respondent, while utility associated with
 experimentally designed hypothetical alternatives is only conjectured by
 respondents. The effects of explicitly accounting for such a difference in
 the econometric analysis of the data are often unreported, or limited to
 fitting a 'status quo' constant. The paper proposes a model that
 explicitly accounts for these effects and attempts their decomposition
 using data from two choice modelling exercises designed to value the
 provision of environmental goods. Preferences for change versus status quo
 are explored with standard specifications along with a less usually
 applied error component analysis via mixed logit. The results suggest that
 alternatives offering changes from status quo do not share the same
 preference structure as the status quo alternative, and that estimates of
 spread parameters in zero-mean error components can be decomposed
 conditional on respondents' socio-economic characteristics. It is argued
 that these findings have implications for practitioners and their stance
 towards the strategies for the econometric analysis of choice modelling
 data for the purpose of valuation.

Title: Valuing risk reductions: Testing for range biases in payment card and random card sorting methods 
Abstract:
  Ongoing concerns with regard to the appropriate approach to elicitation
 of willingness-to-pay responses in contingent valuation studies have led
 to the development of a number of alternative techniques. One of the most
 recent, and on the surface, most promising of these is the random card
 sorting approach (RCS) which has been used for policy purposes to value
 risk reductions. This paper provides the first formal test of this
 procedure, comparing it against the widely used payment card (PC) format
 from which it is developed and whose recognised problems, such as range
 bias, it claims to address. However, the findings suggest that the RCS
 procedure is no less vulnerable to range bias than the PC method for
 eliciting both monetary values of health risk reductions and non-monetary
 estimates of death rates. Conclusions for future research initiatives are
 drawn.

Title: Examining state environmental regulatory policy design 
Abstract:
  This paper develops a scheme for characterizing variation in the
 structure of state environmental regulatory policy design. The rules,
 policy tools and incentives built into regulatory policies affect the
 manner in which policies are implemented, and, ultimately, the actions of
 target populations toward the ambient environment. Variation in state
 concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) regulation is examined as a
 specific case of subnational regulatory policy design. These operations
 can have substantial environmental impacts on local communities and large
 cumulative impacts on waterways. Using a content analysis of CAFO policy
 across states, the paper shows state policy designs to vary on three
 dimensions: scope, stringency and prescription. This research calls
 attention to the use of more detailed measures of environmental policy
 design rather than unitary measures typically used in environmental policy
 research.

Title: Identifying the motivations of environmental volunteers 
Abstract:
  The natural environment benefits greatly from the work of volunteers.
 However, little is known as to why people are willing to volunteer their
 time to such programs. The study participants were 401 volunteers from six
 natural resource organizations. The study identified and assessed
 motivations of volunteers within the conservation and natural resources
 arena. The results suggest that there are many volunteer motivations,
 although 'helping the environment' clearly emerged as most important.
 Second-tier motivations included 'improving areas that volunteers use for
 their own recreation', 'expressing their values', 'learning about the
 natural environment' and 'socializing with people with similar interests'.
 Managers need to consider these motivations, developing programs in order
 to provide volunteers with an experience that meets their motivations. By
 developing programs with volunteer motivations in mind, managers will
 better be able to recruit and retain volunteers within their
 organizations.

Title: Many ways to say 'no', different ways to say 'yes': Applying Q-Methodology to understand public acceptance of wind farm proposals 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the nature of public acceptance of wind farms by
 investigating the discourses of support and objection to a proposed
 offshore scheme. It reviews research into opposition to wind farms, noting
 previous criticisms that this has tended to provide descriptive rather
 than explanatory insights and as a result, has not effectively informed
 the policy debate. One explanation is that much of this research has been
 conceived within an unreflective positivist research frame, which is
 inadequate in dealing with the subjectivity and value-basis of public
 acceptance of wind farm development. The paper takes a case study of an
 offshore wind farm proposal in Northern Ireland and applies Q-Methodology
 to identify the dominant discourses of support and objection. It is argued
 that this provides new insights into the nature of wind farm conflicts,
 points to a number of recommendations for policy, and functions as an
 example of how this methodology can act as a potential bridge between
 positivist and post-positivist approaches to policy analysis.

Title: Defining an ecological baseline for restoration and natural resource damage assessment of contaminated sites: The case of the Department of Energy 
Abstract:
  Retrospective ecological risk assessment, restoration, natural resource
 damage assessment (NRDA) and managing ecosystems all require having a
 baseline. This policy and practice paper explores the factors that
 influence baseline selection, and it is suggested that ecological
 resources would best be served by: (1) integrating NRDA considerations
 into both future land-use planning and remediation/restoration; (2)
 selecting a baseline for NRDA that approximates the land-use conditions at
 the time of occupation (or a preferred ecosystem); and (3) integrating
 both the positive and negative aspects of industrial occupation into
 restoration decisions, baseline selection and NRDA. Under the
 Comprehensive Environmental Response and Compensation and Liability Act
 (CERCLA), natural resource damages are assessed for injuries incurred
 since 1980 due to releases, but the release itself may have occurred
 before 1980. The paper uses the Department of Energy as a case study to
 examine NRDA and the management of ecosystems. Releases occurred at many
 DOE sites from the 1950s to the 1980s during nuclear bomb production. It
 is suggested that the DOE has been responsible not only for injuries to
 natural resources that occurred as a result of releases, but for
 significant ecosystem recovery since DOE occupation, because some lands
 were previously farmed or industrialized. Natural resource injuries due to
 releases occurred simultaneously with ecosystem recovery that resulted
 from DOE occupation. While the 1980 date is codified in CERCLA law as the
 time after which damages can be assessed, baseline can be defined as the
 conditions the natural resources would have been in today, but for the
 release of the hazardous substance. It is also suggested that NRDA
 considerations should be incorporated into the remediation and restoration
 process at DOE sites, thereby negating the need for formal NRDA following
 restoration, and reducing the final NRDA costs.

Title: From a blanket to a patchwork: The practicalities of reforming the London green belt 
Abstract:
  Since the New Labour government took office in 1997 it has made a number
 of calls for the reform of the London green belt, culminating in the
 recent 'Barker Reviews' that propose to revise the green belt boundaries
 and make it more flexible. So far little research has examined how the
 green belt operates under the current planning system to question how
 practicable these green belt reform proposals are. Drawing on a survey and
 a series of interviews to show how the green belt reform proposals are
 viewed at the local level, this research seeks to show the areas in which
 the current green belt is both flexible and useful as a planning tool to
 reach consensus in the urban fringe.

Title: Green belts: A review of the regions' responses to a changing housing Agenda 
Abstract:
  Recent changes in planning and planning for housing have altered
 organisational arrangements, strengthening regional planning and housing
 remits. Like other planning policy agendas, housing policy has also been
 expected to become more sustainable, resulting in changes in its approach.
 Most recently, it has been required to focus more on ensuring better
 housing delivery. This paper reflects on the implications of these
 changes' on green belt policy making at the regional level. It concludes
 that the emphasis on finding sustainable housing solutions in conjunction
 with the need to find more housing land has indeed put pressure on some
 regions to adopt a more flexible green belt approach.

Title: Spatial planning, area action plans and the rural-urban fringe 
Abstract:
  The rural-urban fringe has been called 'planning's last frontier', and it
 is a frontier that is now receiving greater attention from policy makers.
 This is partly a result of ongoing reforms of the planning
 system&#x2014;through the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, and
 potentially through further legislation in 2007 or 2008&#x2014;and the
 apparent opportunities that have been created to manage the inherent
 complexities of these near-urban interstitial landscapes through 'spatial
 planning'. This may include landscape enhancement and the provision of
 green infrastructure to meet community needs, which past green belt policy
 has tended to overlook according to the recent Barker Review of Land-Use
 Planning. This paper examines how spatial planning delivered at the local
 level, through area action plans (AAP), provides the potential to carry
 forward a new set of objectives at the rural-urban fringe, essentially, to
 reflect the 'multi-functional' nature of the fringe to a greater extent
 than past land-use planning with its emphasis on policy control. Existing
 green belt policy has been, for the past 50 years, an expression of this
 policy control focus. But what potential now exists to do more than merely
 control and respond to development pressure? Do AAP offer a means of
 enhancing the rural-urban fringe for the benefit of nearby communities and
 the wider environment? Can they 'bridge the gap' between the ideas of
 spatial planning and the need for transformative and integrative projects
 on the ground? These questions are asked in the context of a recent
 project at St Helens, in the north of England, which has aimed to carry
 forward a more holistic approach to the planning and management of the
 rural-urban fringe through area action planning rolled out by a local
 strategic partnership of public and private bodies.

Title: Green belts in Scotland: Towards the modernisation of a traditional concept? 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the social reconstruction of green belt policy in
 Scotland through a historical overview of the academic, practice and
 policy literatures. Attention is drawn to the reinterpretation and
 extension of the social amenity and health objectives of early green belt
 policy introduced by the Department of Health in Scotland; the diversity
 of policy implementation in practice; and the recent attempts of the
 Scottish Executive to reform green belt policy in the context of the
 modernisation and reform of the land use planning system so as to
 accommodate spatial planning principles and to facilitate a cultural
 change.

Title: A sea of houses: Preserving open space in an urbanised country 
Abstract:
  Policies to preserve open space in the Netherlands have evolved over a
 long period of time. In the interwar period pressure groups were actively
 trying to put the issue of open space on the political agenda. Their pleas
 were only partly met. After the Second World War, and as part of the
 establishment of the welfare state, an intricate planning system emerged
 serving many goals, a key one being the preservation of open space and
 therefore the containment of urbanisation. The most well-known policy
 concept is that of the Green Heart, basically a green belt surrounded and
 intersected by urban belts. Initially, however, the planning system proved
 to be not very effective. The period from the end of the 1960s until the
 end of the 1990s was characterised by efforts to improve the effectiveness
 of the planning system, also in terms of preserving open space. Recent
 years have become critical in terms of policies towards green belts.
 Central government has taken the decision to fundamentally change its role
 in spatial planning, partly handing over the responsibility for policies
 preserving open space to lower levels of government. Recently the issue of
 preserving open space returned to the agenda. According to many what is
 happening is 'messing up the landscape'. What is called for is strong and
 effective guidance by central government. However, it is unlikely that a
 return of the restrictive policies of the 1980s and 1990s will be seen.

Title: State growth management, smart growth and urban containment: A review of the US and a study of the heartland 
Abstract:
  The literature in the US has extensively examined the policies of state
 and sub-state areas that are well known for their anti-sprawl measures.
 This has resulted in little knowledge of what is happening elsewhere. This
 paper provides a case study of one of the lesser-known states, Michigan,
 which is representative of the vast majority of non-growth management
 states. The study finds that Michigan has been influenced by trends from
 the better-known areas. This has led to a host of state, regional and
 local-level initiatives, sometimes wrapped in the language of economic
 development, aimed at curbing sprawl. However, there is little evidence
 that these initiatives are successful. This is primarily due to the
 absence of state level mandates for planning, a lack of funding and a
 strong home rule tradition. The findings are probably repeated in many
 states across the nation: a proliferation of initiatives, which, with only
 few exceptions, will not represent best practices.

Title: Environmental equity in the vicinity of Amsterdam Airport: The interplay between market forces and government policy 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the impact of the interplay between market forces and
 government policy on environmental equity in the vicinity of Amsterdam
 Airport in the Netherlands. Despite pressure on space and the presence of
 the international airport, exposure to the higher levels of traffic noise,
 NO2 and external safety risks, and accumulation of traffic noise and NO2
 ('bads') was rather limited and generally distributed fairly equally among
 income categories, probably as a result of environmental regulations.
 However, lower-income categories had less access to lower levels of
 traffic noise, NO2 and public green space ('goods') than higher-income
 categories, which may be explained by both historical processes and market
 forces. Policy makers seem to accept a higher environmental burden on the
 regional population because of the benefits for the national economy
 generated by Amsterdam Airport.

Title: Policy and planning in the dutch countryside: The role of regional innovation networks 
Abstract:
  This paper presents the results of a study on the functioning of regional
 innovation networks (RINs) in the Netherlands. RINs are designed to
 achieve sustainable and socially acceptable regional economic development.
 By focusing on inter-human processes, the study aimed to gain more and
 deeper insights into the nature, the workings, the potential and the
 limitations of RINs in processes of innovation. An important insight from
 the study concerns the role of governments in RINs. Although the intention
 of the central government was to experiment with a fully bottom-up
 process, all RINs were eager to involve the government at different
 levels, at different times and for different purposes.

Title: Contesting governance of indigenous forests in New Zealand: The case of the West Coast Forest Accord 
Abstract:
  This paper uses the concept of 'governance' and the related notion of
 'multi-layered' forest management decision making as an overarching
 framework for analysis of conflict between different stakeholder groups
 with contrasting perceptions about 'appropriate' use of indigenous forests
 in a New Zealand case study. In New Zealand, recent institutional reforms
 inspired by neo-liberal policy agendas have led to substantial conflicts
 between segments of society over the 'appropriate' governance of remnant
 indigenous forests. This study focuses on the West Coast Forest Accord
 (WCFA) as an illustration of the attempt to change governance structures
 of indigenous forest management by re-regulating the indigenous forest
 industry. It is argued that by seeking to accommodate multiple stakeholder
 interests, in particular industry, community and environmental groups, the
 WCFA was doomed to fail, as multiple, and often conflicting, stakeholder
 agendas focused on the goal of 'sustainable management' of indigenous
 forests could no longer be reconciled. Notwithstanding the shift in
 emphasis from government towards governance in the recent literature, the
 study findings confirm a continuing strong role by the state as an actor
 in the forestry sector in New Zealand.

Title: Factors influencing transboundary wildlife management in the North American 'Crown of the Continent' 
Abstract:
  Jurisdictional boundaries and borders are rarely coincident with
 ecological systems. The long-term persistence of viable wildlife
 populations and habitats, especially for highly mobile and migratory
 species, is contingent upon effective management that transcends
 administrative boundaries. Although transboundary natural resource
 management has emerged as a topic of academic and professional discourse,
 implementation has been hampered by a host of barriers that include
 institutional, administrative, financial and contextual factors. The Crown
 Managers Partnership, a collaborative initiative of public land managers
 in the transboundary Rocky Mountains of Canada and the United States, is
 exploring the approaches to overcome these barriers. This paper reports on
 the results of interviews to identify the factors that influence the
 management of transboundary wildlife and provides a series of
 recommendations that are specific to the study area context, but are also
 transferable to other regions. Formalizing the existing partnership,
 exploring options for expanding participation in the partnership to
 include non-government interests, engaging third party facilitation, using
 non-traditional data sources, applying metapopulation ecology theory, and
 interdisciplinary problem solving are all elements recommended for
 improved transboundary management and of wildlife in the Crown of the
 Continent Ecosystem.

Title: Environmental sustainability and land reform in South Africa: A neglected dimension 
Abstract:
  Despite supportive policy frameworks and increased environmental
 awareness, a growing body of evidence indicates that environmental
 sustainability is not central to planning and decision-making processes in
 land reform in South Africa. Increasing pressures on government to meet
 land reform targets, cumbersome and often inappropriate environmental
 assessment procedures, and a confusing multitude of laws all contribute to
 neglect of long-term environmental sustainability considerations in land
 reform. This is exacerbated by poor recognition of resource rights, a lack
 of proactive and pre-emptive environmental management plans, and
 insufficient implementation capacity. This paper argues that the early
 incorporation of environmental sustainability issues in pre-settlement and
 post-settlement land reform planning processes could significantly improve
 the environmental, social and economic outcomes of these projects. A
 simple, participant-driven environmental sustainability assessment tool is
 proposed to achieve these environmental and developmental goals.

Title: Performance of management strategies in the protection of riparian vegetation in three oregon cities 
Abstract:
  The destruction of riparian vegetation in urban areas signals the loss of
 valuable ecosystem services. This paper documents the extent of riparian
 vegetation loss during a period of rapid development
 (1990&#xa0;-&#xa0;2002) in three Oregon cities with distinctive, local
 management strategies. Findings show that loss has occurred in all three
 cities, but this loss has been curtailed by implementation of protective
 policies. Moreover, more than half the losses in each city were due to a
 few large development projects, rather than a large number of smaller
 ones. The paper concludes that management strategies do limit destructive
 actions by small projects and that large losses are potentially avoidable
 with targeted attention to large-scale projects.

Title: Fuzzy cognitive mapping to appraise complex situations 
Abstract:
  The manner in which different societies and cultures utilise the natural
 environment for various activities can be myriad and complex to analyse.
 Whilst experience and the use of accepted methodologies have taught
 practitioners how to handle many of the issues and controversies linked to
 the sustainability impacts of proposed initiatives, many of these impacts
 are more controversial in nature. Systems thinking, based on fuzzy
 concepts, can provide some initial answers to the question of how to
 improve communication between heterogeneous groups of stakeholders because
 it demonstrates a greater respect for the knowledge of communities
 affected by various regeneration initiatives. Using the 2004 Olympics as a
 case study, the authors report on the potential applications of fuzzy
 cognitive mapping as a participatory approach for collecting, analysing
 and representing information from multiple stakeholders.

Title: Farmer Premiums for the Voluntary Adoption of Conservation Plans 
Abstract:
  Programs that reimburse farmers for the cost of implementing more
 environmentally benign management practices are becoming increasingly
 popular in both the US and the EU. Utilizing the random utility and random
 profit difference approaches, the paper develops a theoretical model that
 explains why farmers may require a premium in excess of the decrease in
 profits to adopt a conservation plan, and may even require a premium in
 the case where adoption of the plan is associated with a mean increase in
 profits. This premium is estimated using a survey of farmers in
 conjunction with predictions of changes in production costs.

Title: Valuing Urban Green Space: Hypothetical Alternatives and the Status Quo 
Abstract:
  Although many cities have guidelines on the quantity of green open space
 that should accompany residential development, there is less guidance on
 the type or facilities of these spaces. The study uses an approach to
 determine whether green space can be valued on the basis of its
 constituent characteristics and, if so, what characteristics are
 preferred. The results indicate that preferences vary depending on whether
 the green space in question is a small local park or a larger municipal
 park. However, where a base alternative of usual park destination is
 included in the analysis, the results are affected by collinearity and the
 actual availability of relevant green space attributes in these
 destinations. A mixed logit approach is used to tease out this effect from
 the underlying preference values.

Title: Integrating Wetland Management into Sustainable Water Resources Allocation: The Case of Akrotiri Wetland in Cyprus 
Abstract:
  This paper employs a contingent valuation (CV) study to estimate the
 value of the economic benefits generated by the Akrotiri wetland in
 Cyprus. It aims to show how CV estimation results can inform efficient,
 effective and sustainable wetland conservation policies, as required by
 the European Union's Water Framework Directive, and to suggest economic
 instruments that can facilitate the implementation of such policies. The
 results indicate that the design of these instruments require the
 capturing of both the use and non-use values generated by wetland services
 and functions.

Title: Environmental Injustice in France 
Abstract:
  This paper presents the first national study on environmental
 inequalities in France. It applies the Anglo-American concept of
 environmental justice, focusing on the distribution of environmental
 burdens, to the French setting and tests the hypothesis that poor and
 immigrant communities are disproportionately exposed to environmental
 risks. The location of eight types of hazardous sites (industrial and
 nuclear sites, incinerators, waste management facilities) and the
 socio-economic characteristics of populations are associated at the
 commune, or town, level for all 36&#xa0;600 French towns. The analysis,
 descriptive and multivariate, uses simple and spatial regression
 techniques. It shows that towns with high proportions of immigrants tend
 to host more hazardous sites, even controlling for population size,
 income, degree of industrialization of the town and region. The study
 establishes the presence of environmental inequities in France and raises
 new public policy questions. However, it does not investigate the
 mechanisms that may explain inequities, which could include procedural
 injustices, land market dynamics and historical patterns of industrial and
 urban development.

Title: Environmental Assessment Framework for Policy Applications: Life Cycle Assessment, External Costs and Multi-criteria Analysis 
Abstract:
  The paper presents a framework for the analysis of external costs of
 environmental burdens, namely an impact pathway analysis, often coupled
 with the inventory stage of life cycle assessment (LCA). The ground rule
 is: quantify as much as possible in terms of burdens (pollutant emissions,
 etc.), impacts, and their monetary equivalent, then use multi-criteria
 analysis (MCA) for any remaining impacts that are considered to be too
 uncertain or defy quantification through to monetization. Although MCA
 could be used directly on estimates of burdens or impacts, monetary
 valuation provides a mechanism for consistent weighting of impacts
 categories based on assessment of public preference. Further advantages of
 extending LCA through detailed impact assessment combined with monetary
 valuation are that it greatly simplifies MCA by combining a large number
 of different environmental impact categories, thereby avoiding an
 unmanageably large number of criteria, and also facilitates cost benefit
 analysis (CBA). The risks are noted of inappropriate use of the tools or
 interpretation/use of the results, and recommendations are made for
 improved practice. These points are illustrated with examples. The key
 messages are: (1) that policies should be targeted correctly to give a
 clear signal which source of a burden should be reduced by how much; (2)
 that analysts should take into account the needs of policy makers and the
 link between the analysis and possible policy applications; and (3) that
 current LCA practice gives limited guidance in both areas, largely through
 a lack of consideration of the relative and absolute importance of
 different types of impact. However, this is precisely the strength of
 external costs analysis, particularly when used with MCA.

Title: Green Houses for the Growth Region 
Abstract:
  The new housing growth programme planned for England and Wales between
 now and 2016 could provide the government with an opportunity to build
 housing to significantly higher environmental performance (EP) standards.
 Equally, if the government continues with its current strategy a great
 opportunity could be missed. This paper considers and critically analyses
 the government's approach to ensuring higher EP standards in new housing.
 Using Greenwich Millennium Village as a case study it assesses the likely
 outcomes of the approach. It suggests how regulation, fiscal incentives
 and educational programmes could help to deliver better EP amongst housing
 and households in the growth region.

Title: Incorporating Complex Adaptive Systems Theory into Strategic Planning: The Sierra Nevada Conservancy 
Abstract:
  Conservation organizations rely increasingly on integrated planning
 approaches that explicitly address social and economic goals while
 pursuing ecological conservation. Moreover, the spatial and temporal scale
 at which these organizations operate is growing. The Sierra Nevada
 Conservancy, established as a new state agency by California legislation
 in 2004 to pursue social, economic and ecological sustainability across a
 25 million acre region, exemplifies this large-scale, integrated approach.
 Therefore, the new agency faces a complex set of policy objectives that
 must be pursued across a widely varying geography of social, economic and
 ecological conditions. Using the Conservancy's fire management program
 area as an example, the paper illustrates how application of an analytic
 framework from complex adaptive systems theory can guide the Conservancy
 to deploy its resources more effectively than broader-scale application of
 a single, agency-wide strategy relying on a more static model. Therefore,
 the complex adaptive systems framework offers promise in strategic
 planning. The paper illustrates how the model's four-stage cycle can be
 applied at the sub-regional and programmatic level to identify
 opportunities for agency intervention that address varying local
 conditions. This approach is likely to increase the effectiveness of
 programs for agencies facing similar complexities and challenges.

Title: How do green charges transform industrial behaviour? An explorative case study of institutionalisation and transition in post-Communist Poland 
Abstract:
  Based on three explorative case studies of industrial environmental
 practices in Poland, this paper examines how green charges alter the
 situated knowledge of companies' environmental managers. The study
 illustrates that following the Communist collapse, companies began to take
 the environmental authorities seriously because more severe enforcement
 and higher levels of green charges were implemented. However, the study
 also develops the hypothesis that environmental managers' comprehension of
 environmental problems is determined by the chemicals imposed with a duty.

Title: The call of different wilds: the importance of definition and perception in protecting and managing Scottish wild landscapes 
Abstract:
  Concepts of wild land have recreational, ecological and cultural
 dimensions, and place varying emphasis on physical landscape attributes
 and the perceptions of users. In Scotland, national and NGO policies show
 reasonable consistency in interpreting and defining 'wild land',
 emphasising the (perception of) lack of current human influence as a key
 criterion. This research used semi-structured interviews with key
 individuals and a questionnaire survey of land managers to evaluate
 concepts and perceptions of wild land in Scotland. Recognising that the
 conceptual and spatial definition of wild land is a key issue, a new
 typology is proposed. Weaknesses in the policy framework, as well as key
 potential threats to, and opportunities associated with, wild landscapes
 are identified. Management initiatives are fitted to the typology and
 divided into four management themes. Key recommendations are: (i) that
 national policy for wild landscapes needs to incorporate criteria, which
 recognise the multiple values deriving from such areas; and (ii) that
 future research should combine user group preferences with physical
 attribute information in determining what constitutes wild landscapes.

Title: Monitoring brownfield housing development: strengths and weaknesses of indicator based monitoring in the English planning system 
Abstract:
  In England quantified targets for the reuse of brownfields and of
 existing buildings place particular requirements on the planning system as
 part of the overall strategy to make effective use of natural resources.
 Achieving these targets is not free of obstacles and potential conflicts.
 Therefore monitoring of policy implementation is a necessity in the
 planning system. In addition challenging targets for increased housing
 provision have been introduced. In view of this the dichotomy of adequate
 housing-land supply without compromising environmental quality must be
 addressed. As a consequence monitoring will play an increasingly important
 role. This paper explores how these challenges can be met. It draws upon
 practical experience across all planning tiers to highlight the potential
 and limitations of indicator based monitoring.

Title: From exogenous to endogenous development in Scottish forestry: the feasibility of small-scale wood energy enterprise 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a change in the Scottish forestry policy from the
 exogenous to the endogenous development approach, and feasibility of heat
 entrepreneurship based on locally produced woodfuels in the Highlands of
 Scotland. The cost structure and heat pricing in the case of an
 800&#xa0;kW solid fuel boiler is presented, and the profitability of local
 heat entrepreneurship is analysed with scenarios of different investment
 costs and fuel prices. The results indicate that a district heating (DH)
 system, using locally produced woodchips, could produce heat at a lower
 price than single-house heating systems using light fuel oil. The
 profitability of replacing existing heating units by investing in a new
 district heating (DH) scheme is very dependent on the available investment
 support, price level of woodchips and substituted light fuel oil, and the
 amount of sold energy. In the case of an 800&#xa0;kW DH scheme, and
 woodchip prices of 14 and 22&#xa0;&#x20ac;/MWh, investments should remain
 under break-even points of 280 and 420&#xa0;&#x20ac;/kW of heating power
 (230,000-335,000&#x20ac;).

Title: Host community attitudes towards solid waste landfill infrastructure: comprehension before compensation 
Abstract:
  One of the most controversial planning issues internationally is the
 siting of waste disposal infrastructure in local communities. Compensation
 is viewed as a possible solution to siting difficulties in many countries.
 However, existing empirical evidence is conflicting as to whether or not
 compensation-based siting has reduced opposition to such developments.
 Thus, before compensation policy can be considered as the solution for
 recognising social costs and introducing equity into the waste planning
 system, it is important to understand why people reject waste disposal
 infrastructure developments and if this rejection continues over the
 lifetime of facility operations. This paper utilises information gathered
 through surveys to examine the effects of distance, local authority
 consultation efforts, experience and other factors, on attitudes towards
 non-hazardous solid waste landfill developments in two examples of a
 potential and actual host communities. Our findings suggest distance
 proxies expectations of environmental risk in communities with no
 experience of living with landfill infrastructure. Community consultations
 by authorities are consistently important, even after a landfill has been
 in operation for a number of years. This suggests to policy makers to
 consult thoroughly and adequately before pursuing compensation policies.

Title: Are EMS environmentally effective? The link between environmental management systems and environmental performance in European companies 
Abstract:
  Based on the analysis of a large dataset on the environmental performance
 of European companies in five industrial sectors, this paper examines the
 question of whether the presence of an environmental management system
 (EMS) has a positive impact on the eco-efficiency of companies. It begins
 with a review of evidence about the link between EMS and environmental
 performance in business organisations, finding that, despite much
 research, there is still little quantitative evidence. The second part of
 the paper uses three independent statistical methods (simple correlations,
 Jaggi-Freedman indices and a 'trend differences' approach) to assess
 whether companies and production sites with EMS perform better than those
 without and whether performance improves after an EMS has been introduced.
 The paper shows that there is currently no evidence that EMS have a
 consistent and significant positive impact on environmental performance.
 Policy action based on the simple assumption that companies with an EMS
 perform better than those without therefore seems inappropriate.

Title: SMEs and voluntary environmental initiatives: a study of stakeholders' perspectives in Hong Kong 
Abstract:
  The environmental performance of Hong Kong's businesses is currently
 perceived as rather poor. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in
 particular are mostly unaware of the environmental impact of their
 business. Government and professional bodies have recently started to
 develop various initiatives to improve the SME sector's awareness of
 environmental and social issues, and external factors such as supply chain
 requirements, consumer preferences and energy prices are also exerting a
 growing influence. Based on extensive interviews with representatives of
 seven key stakeholder groups, this paper explores the effectiveness of
 such drivers to engage SMEs with environmental change and corporate social
 responsibility (CSR). It finds that most existing efforts, such as
 environmental support programmes and award schemes, do not have a great
 impact on the environmental and social performance of Hong Kong's SMEs.

Title: Human-ecological dimensions of disaster resiliency in Thailand: social capital and aid delivery 
Abstract:
  This study focuses on the human-ecological dimension of disaster
 resilience after the 2004 tsunami. The paper examines how concepts of
 social capital and external aid delivery influence community performance
 in conservation of mangrove ecosystems. Experiences are reported through
 the words of local informants in six villages in Thailand. Findings
 indicate that social capital represents a potential for collective action,
 but design of aid programmes may prevent such action. Programmes that
 emphasised bottom-up aid delivery mobilised local social capital and
 directed it toward obtaining resources that fit local needs and
 capabilities. Alternatively, top-down aid programmes provided significant
 resources, but oppressed mobilisation of social capital. Implications are
 that disaster stricken communities should be treated as active
 participants, rather than the more common perspective that views them as
 vulnerable and in a state of helplessness.

Title: A critical review of the theory and application of social learning in participatory natural resource management processes 
Abstract:
  Social learning is increasingly cited as an essential component of
 sustainable natural resource management and the promotion of desirable
 behavioural change. This paper attempts to contribute to the current
 debate about social learning and public participation by reviewing the
 many perspectives on social learning and associated claims and benefits.
 Based on this analysis the paper identifies conceptual and practical
 weaknesses of the concept of social learning and their implications for
 the design of participatory processes in natural resource management.

Title: Ecological information in the political decision making of urban land-use planning 
Abstract:
  The objective of this paper is to examine what factors determine the
 importance of ecological information in political decision making of urban
 land use in Helsinki, southern Finland. Results from the interviews of
 politicians and city officials show that ecological information becomes
 more important if there are significant conservation values connected to a
 plan area, contacts and appeals from plan participants, strong media
 attention or if a decision maker focuses more on the issue due to personal
 interests and values. Balancing the weight of recreational and cultural
 values may be one of the most difficult tasks for decision makers to
 handle.

Title: Recreation conflict potential and management implications in the northern/central Black Forest Nature Park 
Abstract:
  This study explores conflict in recreational use of the Black Forest
 Nature Park (BFNP) by six different nature sports groups as a function of
 infrastructure, forest management and other users. A multi-step,
 methodological triangulation conflict model from US recreation management
 was applied and tested in the Park. Results from two groups, hikers and
 mountain bikers, are analysed in depth. The main conflict potentials were
 due to infrastructure and value conflicts. These were influenced by
 various visitor characteristics such as resource attachment, experiences,
 activity-style, expectations and motives. Results of quantitative data
 analysis were further interpreted by interviews with agency and group
 leaders. This methodological combination reveals a robust understanding of
 recreation conflict and management in the BFNP.

Title: Drivers and barriers to water transfer in a New Zealand irrigation scheme 
Abstract:
  Policy makers, economists and water researchers have advocated water
 transfer and trade as a key potential response to worldwide water scarcity
 and/or efficiency problems. This paper examines aspects of an operational
 irrigation scheme in New Zealand that enables transfer of water between
 shareholders, arguing that the set-up and processes involved with the
 scheme can provide a wider context for analysis and consideration of
 social and cultural issues involved with resource allocation. Analysis of
 the key drivers and barriers for water reveal that while there is
 potential for real benefits from transferring water for farmers and the
 community, an examination of some of the processes used, and barriers to
 transfer reveals important lessons for planning and regulatory
 perspectives, including the importance of looking at the issues from a
 procedural and distributive justice viewpoint.

Title: Evaluating environmental protection in post-Hurricane Katrina plans in Mississippi 
Abstract:
  Immediately following Hurricane Katrina, the Mississippi Governor's
 Commission for Recovery, Rebuilding and Renewal provided planning teams to
 work with coastal communities to prepare long-range rebuilding plans
 followed by further community-initiated plans. Eighteen months after
 Katrina, this paper examines the degree to which environmental protection
 has been incorporated into the long-range plans developed in Harrison
 County, Mississippi. This study finds that environmental protection has
 not been adequately integrated into the plans. It concludes by offering
 recommendations on how these communities can improve their plans relative
 to environmental protection measures as they move into their next phase of
 planning.

Title: The ISO 14001 environmental management standard in Japan: results from a national survey of facilities in four industries 
Abstract:
  Since establishment of the ISO 14001 environmental management system in
 1996, Japanese facilities have led the world in numbers of certifications.
 This research utilises survey data from more than 1700 Japanese facilities
 as well as follow-up interviews to identify the determinants of ISO
 certification, to examine the differences between early, recent and
 in-process certifiers, and to understand how ISO 14001 certification
 affects various environmental and managerial outcomes in Japan. Findings
 show that ISO certified facilities are larger and report higher levels of
 environmental management capacity. In addition, early certifiers are more
 likely to have established voluntary environmental agreements and are more
 active in international trade and business. Findings also provide evidence
 that while many facilities believe that ISO 14001 certification is
 excessively costly, they also report that certification has resulted in
 the establishment of new energy efficiency and waste reduction targets and
 higher target levels. Nevertheless, evidence indicates that certification
 does not generally result in longer-term outcomes such as
 post-certification adjustment of non-regulated targets.

Title: Use of embodied energy and ecological footprinting to assess the global environmental impact of consumption in an Irish city-region 
Abstract:
  The objective of this paper is to compare the carbon emissions produced
 as a result of product consumption by the residents of an Irish
 city-region, that is Limerick City and its environs. The resulting carbon
 footprints are used to compare imports of food items, manufactured
 products and construction materials with domestic production as well as
 changes between 1996 and 2002. The total ecological footprints (EF)
 associated with product consumption are also calculated by aggregating the
 theoretical land required to sequester carbon emissions and the
 terrestrial land area appropriated for agricultural production and

 allocate producer or consumer responsibility for environmental impacts

Title: Landowner motivations for watershed restoration: lessons from five watersheds 
Abstract:
  Collaborative watershed management initiatives have increased
 tremendously over the past decade. One of the critical questions for these
 initiatives is how to influence private land management practices to
 improve watershed health. This article researches landowner motivations
 and preferences for watershed restoration efforts in five watersheds in
 Western Oregon. Based on a survey of 446 landowners and 80 personal
 interviews, the research revealed that landowner perspectives vary by
 socio-economic, cultural, and land use characteristics. They are strongly
 motivated by a concern for future generations and interpersonal influence
 is particularly important. Finances, time, and unfamiliarity were all
 significant barriers to the adoption of conservation practices. The
 findings also revealed considerable variation among landowners as to their
 trusted sources of information and preferred outreach methods. Beyond the
 findings in Oregon, the research suggests that watershed initiatives need
 to understand landowner characteristics and motivating factors to better
 promote watershed restoration and target outreach efforts.

Title: Public values for badgers, bovine TB reduction and management strategies 
Abstract:
  This paper applies an attribute-based stated choice experiment approach
 to estimate the value that society places on changes to the size of the
 badger population in England and Wales. The study was undertaken in the
 context of a rising incidence of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in cattle and
 the government's review of current bTB control policy. This review
 includes consideration of culling badgers to reduce bTB in cattle, since
 badgers are thought to be an important wildlife reservoir for the disease.
 The design of the CE involved four attributes (size of badger population,
 cattle slaughtered due to bTB, badger management strategy and household
 tax) at four levels with eight choice sets of two alternatives presented
 to respondents. Telephone interviews were undertaken with over 400
 respondents, which elicited their attitudes and preferences concerning
 badgers, bTB in cattle and badger management strategies. The study
 estimated a willingness to pay of &#xa3;0.10 per household per year per
 100,000 badgers and &#xa3;1.52 per household per year per 10,000 cattle
 slaughtered due to bTB which aggregated to &#xa3;22 per badger and
 &#xa3;3298 per bTB slaughtered animal for all households in England and
 Wales. Management strategy toward badgers had a very high valuation,
 highlighting the emotive issue of badger culling for respondents and the
 importance of government policy towards badgers.

Title: Case study: examining the contribution of historical sources of lead in urban soils in Portland, Maine, USA 
Abstract:
  While the presence of lead in urban soils from residential lead paint and
 leaded gasoline is well documented, the relative contribution of lead from
 area historical industrial activities is not. This study examined the
 connection between historical industrial sources of lead in Portland,
 Maine, USA from 1860 to 1970 to current, spatial distributions of soil
 lead. Collecting 1859 surface and 122 sub-surface soil samples in
 accordance with USEPA's Lead Safe Yard Protocols, lead concentrations
 varied from 9 mg/kg to &#x3e;100,000 mg/kg with most of the samples
 greater than USEPA's critical value for lead (400 mg/kg). Using historical
 documents, probable sources of lead were mapped. In comparing two
 datasets, no clear relationship emerged. Findings were hampered by
 inability to sample under large areas of impervious surfaces and private
 properties. Because of lead's immobility in soil, one would expect
 decreasing concentration with depth, but lead concentrations varied with
 depth and location. The haphazard dumping of lead-contaminated industrial
 waste and the relocation of contaminated fill are likely factors. These
 findings suggest that in urban areas where multiple historical sources of
 lead existed, surface sampling to determine presence of lead may not be
 sufficient to protect public health.

Title: 'Learning by doing': adaptive planning as a strategy to address uncertainty in planning 
Abstract:
  Adaptive management, an established method in natural resource and
 ecosystem management, has not been widely applied to landscape planning
 due to the lack of an operational method that addresses the role of
 uncertainty and standardized monitoring protocols and methods. A review of
 adaptive management literature and practices reveals several key concepts
 and principles for adaptive planning: (1) management actions are best
 understood and practiced as experiments; (2) several plans/experiments can
 be implemented simultaneously; (3) monitoring of management actions are
 key; and (4) adaptive management can be understood as 'learning by doing'.
 The paper identifies various uncertainties in landscape planning as the
 major obstacles for the adoption of an adaptive approach. To address the
 uncertainty in landscape planning, an adaptive planning method is proposed
 where monitoring plays an integral role to reduce uncertainty. The
 proposed method is then applied to a conceptual test in water resource
 planning addressing abiotic-biotic-cultural resources. To operationalize
 adaptive planning, it is argued that professionals, stakeholders and
 researchers need to function in a genuinely transdisciplinary mode where
 all contribute to, and benefit from, decision making and the continuous
 generation of new knowledge.

Title: Regulatory conflict in the Chicago VOC control program 
Abstract:
  The study analyzes the performance of an innovative cap-and-trade program
 designed to make cost-effective reductions of an ozone precursor in
 Chicago and finds that decentralized market incentives were undermined by
 the continuance of centralized traditional emission point or
 command-and-control regulation. The study makes two contributions for
 urban areas considering this regulatory measure: it shows that using two
 regulatory measures to achieve one emissions reduction goal can undercut
 cost-effective emissions trading, and it provides a redesign of the market
 system that coordinates both regulatory measures for cost-effective
 control and avoidance of trading problems, such as hot spots and
 inter-temporal spikes.

Title: Planning implications from the interactions between renewable energy programs and carbon regulation 
Abstract:
  Complex relationships exist between programs to reduce carbon dioxide
 (CO2) from the electricity sector and programs to promote renewable
 electricity generation. Simulation modeling of three scenarios in the UK
 electricity sector are used to identify potential interactions between
 these programs. A strict CO2 cap can result in a renewable electricity
 requirement being easily met. Conversely, the renewables quota could be
 required under low natural gas prices to keep electricity suppliers from
 switching from coal to gas. Similarly, CO2 trading can reduce renewables
 deployment levels because purchased CO2 allowances replace renewables.
 Therefore, both programs are required to ensure CO2 and renewables goals.
 The planning implications for administrative procedures and renewables
 subsidies are also discussed.

Title: The potential role of stated preference methods in the Water Framework Directive to assess disproportionate costs 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the issue of disproportionate costs of Water
 Framework Directive (WFD) implementation using public surveys as a means
 to inform policy and decision making. Public taxpayers are asked their
 opinion regarding the implementation of the WFD and its costs. Taxpayers
 are expected to bear a large share of the cost of WFD implementation, be
 it through national taxation, local water pollution charges or higher
 market prices for water related goods and services. The paper's main
 objective is to illustrate the role of stated preference research to
 elicit public opinions and perceptions towards socially acceptable levels
 of water quality and public willingness to pay (WTP) for the expected
 environmental benefits of the WFD. Stated preference research can be used
 as a way to assess the concept of disproportionate costs to those who are
 expected to bear a large share of the costs of WFD implementation, and at
 the same time address the issue of public participation in the WFD. The
 survey results are used as a public consultation tool to inform policy and
 decision makers about public willingness and ability to pay for the
 implementation of the WFD. This measure can be used as one of the
 benchmarks to define disproportionate costs in a cost-benefit context.

Title: Promoting community involvement at brownfields sites in socio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods 
Abstract:
  Brownfields programmes provide environmental justice to distressed
 communities by applying private sector remediation and real estate
 expertise to abandoned and contaminated properties. This study examines
 how brownfields developers and community support organisations operating
 in socio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods work to increase
 awareness of projects in the community, build trust between stakeholders
 and create mechanisms for community members to participate in brownfields
 decision making. Analysis of case study data from brownfields sites in
 four US cities shows that developers and non-governmental organisations
 can play important roles in fashioning redevelopment outcomes which
 benefit both developers and communities. When standard required outreach
 efforts are combined with non-traditional community involvement
 mechanisms, the result is often long-term support for redevelopment
 projects.

Title: Proximal exposure of public schools and students to major roadways: a nationwide US survey 
Abstract:
  This study addresses the effect of urban planning and road development on
 the health risk of students attending schools near major roadways. The
 proximity of public schools and students was quantified to Interstate, US
 and state highways in nine large Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) of
 the USA. In total among the surveyed schools and students, over 30% fell
 within 400&#xa0;m of a major roadway and over 10% were within 100&#xa0;m.
 For some MSAs almost half of the student population attended schools near
 (&#x2264;400m) major roadways, resulting in a potentially increased risk
 for asthma and other chronic respiratory problems, especially in schools
 representing the urban fringe locale. It was concluded that proximity of
 major roadways should be an important factor in considering sites for new
 schools and developing policies for reducing the exposure in existing
 schools. The findings provide an important reference point for
 coordinating future urban development, transportation and environmental
 policies.

Title: Incorporating ecosystem-based management into urban environmental policy: a case study from western Washington 
Abstract:
  The worldwide growth of urban settlements affects the management of
 natural resources and has prompted scholars in the natural and social
 sciences to call for ecosystem-based approaches to the management of human
 settlements. While considerable literature exists on the definition,
 theoretical underpinnings and methods for applying ecosystem-based
 management (EBM), few studies have examined whether urban and regional
 planners consider elements of EBM when developing environmental policy.
 This study assesses the extent to which planners apply EBM principles when
 reviewing scientific information for environmental policies in western
 Washington State. Using a working definition of EBM based on existing
 literature, the study conducts a content analysis of interview data from
 42 environmental planners working for cities in western Washington, and
 asks what elements of EBM are considered as they review scientific
 information. The results suggest that elements related to monitoring,
 inter-agency co-operation, ecological boundaries, values and to a limited
 extent, adaptive management, are considered when planners review
 scientific literature for environmental policy development. However, urban
 and regional planners struggle with, or do not explicitly consider, the
 elements of scale, ecological integrity and organisational change when
 developing local environmental policy. The paper concludes with a
 description of why some elements of EBM are considered and why others are
 not, and offers suggestions for improving urban environmental policy
 development through application of EBM principles.

Title: Stakeholder involvement in NEPA scoping processes: evaluating practices and effects in transportation agencies 
Abstract:
  Focusing on environmental review practice in state departments of
 transportation in the US, the study examines the practices and effects of
 stakeholder involvement in scoping processes conducted under the National
 Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Based on a survey of environmental review
 staff in 46 of the 50 states, the study finds variation in approaches used
 by states and relatively high levels of perceived effectiveness. The
 findings include a number of internal and external factors that contribute
 to effectiveness and highlight the impacts of participation on the content
 and outcomes of scoping processes.

Title: Perceived landscape impacts of mobile telecommunications development in the Peak District National Park, England 
Abstract:
  This study explored the public perceptions of mobile telecommunications
 development - new landscape elements installed to deliver new technology -
 in a protected area. It examined: (1) the perceived landscape impacts of
 such development; (2) the importance attached to the socio-economic value
 of mobile telecommunications; and (3) the factors underlying the perceived
 landscape impacts of mobile telecommunications development. A postal
 questionnaire survey was conducted in the Peak District National Park,
 England with 420 respondents drawn from National Park residents and
 visitors, urban dwellers and members of environmental organisations. The
 study suggests that: (1) there was a prevailing antipathy towards the
 landscape impacts of mobile telecommunications development in the National
 Park; (2) apart from emergency uses, the other socio-economic benefits of
 mobile telecommunications technology were thought to be relatively
 unimportant in the National Park; and (3) rather than socio-demographic
 characteristics, it was respondents' understandings of protected areas'
 needs for the technology and potential health risks that had significant
 effects on the perceived landscape impacts. Overall, this study suggests
 that the significance of National Park landscapes is respected by the
 public, even when setalongside the convenience of modern technology, which
 has substantial implications for landscape planning and management in
 protected areas.

Title: Social learning from public engagement: dreaming the impossible? 
Abstract:
  Learning that transcends participation processes is critical if public
 engagement is to translate into a legacy of enhanced environmental
 citizenship. However, a lack of empirical evidence has limited discussion
 to date to largely 'aspirational' claims. This paper offers the first
 rigorous examination of whether public participation does generate
 beyond-process social learning. Initially we review the literature on
 public participation and environmental citizenship to identify the key
 dimensions of social learning. We then re-visit a well-worked case study
 of an innovative public engagement process on the Hampshire waste strategy
 from the 1990s. Approximately one third of the original participants have
 been interviewed to identify whether and how the experience had a lasting
 effect on them. Key methodological difficulties are discussed, not least
 the analytical difficulties of attributing learning to a process that
 happened ten years previously. However, we argue that there is evidence
 that both instrumental and communicative learning have taken place, and
 conclude by identifying key areas that require further research.

Title: Valuing the benefits of the urban forest: a spatial hedonic approach 
Abstract:
  This paper measures the benefits of the urban forest by examining its
 effect on housing prices. A Geographic Information System is used to
 develop a measure of the urban forest, the Normalised Difference
 Vegetation Index, from satellite imagery and to construct other variables
 from a variety of sources. Spatial hedonic housing price models for the
 Indianapolis/Marion County area are estimated. The models indicate that
 greener vegetation around a property has a positive, significant effect on
 housing price, holding everything else constant. This effect is dominated
 by measures at the neighborhood level. These findings indicate that
 property owners value the urban forest, at least in part, by the premium
 they pay to live in neighborhoods with greener, denser vegetation. These
 findings also indicate that public action to maintain and enhance the
 urban forest may be warranted. Planners and urban foresters can use these
 findings to inform public and policy debates over urban forestry programs
 and proposals.

Title: Protecting people and property: the influence of land-use planners on flood hazard mitigation in New Urbanist developments 
Abstract:
  Research suggests that characteristics of local government land-use
 planners help determine the priority that local communities place on flood
 hazard mitigation. However, research has not examined the significance of
 land-use planners' values and role orientations for flood hazard
 mitigation. Multiple regression analysis is used to examine the influence
 that land-use planners' values and role orientations have on flood hazard
 mitigation in a national sample of New Urbanist development projects.
 Findings indicate that land-use planners' values and role orientations
 have significant implications for flood hazard mitigation in these
 projects. The paper recommends that local governments adopt a land-use
 planning approach to flood hazard mitigation that relies on land-use
 planners to help direct development away from hazardous portions of
 development sites.

Title: Why is integrating policy assessment so hard? A comparative analysis of the institutional capacities and constraints 
Abstract:
  Widely advocated as a means to make policy making more integrated, policy
 assessment remains weakly integrated in practice. But explanations for
 this shortfall, such as lack of staff training and resources, ignore more
 fundamental institutional factors. This paper identifies institutional
 capacities supporting and constraining attempts to make policy assessment
 more integrated. A comparative empirical analysis of functionally
 equivalent assessment systems in four European jurisdictions finds that
 there are wide-ranging institutional constraints upon integration. These
 include international policy commitments, the perception that assessment
 should support rather than determine policy, organisational traditions,
 and the sectorisation of policy making. This paper concludes by exploring
 the potential for altering these institutions to make policy assessment
 more integrated.

Title: Locating 'power' in wind power planning processes: the (not so) influential role of local objectors 
Abstract:
  There have been conflicting accounts of the role and influence of local
 opposition within planning application outcomes for wind power
 developments. There is an expanding literature that considers public
 responses to proposed renewable energy developments and much of this
 suggests that public opposition is a key factor in the slow growth in
 renewable energy capacity. However, this paper will show that local
 opposition groups' power over such planning processes is very limited, and
 in fact extends only so far as delaying an outcome. Through a thematic
 content analysis of objection letters to one particular proposed wind
 power development, the key issues raised in connection with the
 development will be highlighted. Subsequently, these issues will be
 compared with those discussed in the official report of the planning
 appeals process, and it will be shown that the concerns of local objectors
 had little influence over the eventual verdict.

Title: Roles of environmental movement organisations in land-use planning: case studies of the Niagara Escarpment and Oak Ridges Moraine, Ontario, Canada 
Abstract:
  The paper explores the roles of environmental movement organisations
 (EMOs) in land-use planning, including domain creation (establishment of
 new or modified landscape planning boundaries) and regime change (adoption
 of new or modified legal and planning rules). The research involved two
 case studies of land-use planning processes: the Niagara Escarpment and
 Oak Ridges Moraine, Ontario, Canada. The two cases together reveal an
 evolution of land-use planning towards collaborative processes on mainly
 private lands in Southern Ontario during the period from 1960 to 2002. The
 results suggest that EMOs can create new planning domains through agenda
 setting activities, build landscape value and vision, educate governments
 and the public, and work to maintain and alter regimes. Collaborative
 planning has emerged as an important process in which some EMOs are now
 participating.

Title: Spatio-temporal analysis of fire events in India: implications for environmental conservation 
Abstract:
  Information on fires in different geographic regions of India is
 relatively scarce. This study quantifies spatial and temporal patterns in
 fire occurrences covering different states and districts in India. Two
 important scientific questions are answered in this study: (1) how are the
 fire events distributed across different geographical regions? (2) are
 there any specific districts where fire events clustered across space and
 time? To address these questions, Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR)
 derived satellite fire counts from 1997-2006 were used and the datasets
 were analysed using spatial scan statistic. Spatial scan statistic
 provides a test statistic for most likely 'hotspot' spatial clusters,
 based on the likelihood ratio test and Monte Carlo simulation. Results
 from geographical analysis based on state boundaries suggested Maharastra
 state had the highest number of fires followed by Madhya Pradesh,
 Chattisgarh, Orissa, etc., during the 10-year period. Among the several
 districts, the spatial scan statistic identified the most likely cluster
 of fire events in Dausa, Karauli, Sawai Madhopur, Bharatpur and Alwar in
 addition to several other secondary clusters, with high statistical
 significance. These results are based on a large sample of cases, and they
 provide convincing evidence of spatial clustering of fire events in the
 Indian region. Results relating to hotspot areas of fire risk can guide
 policy makers towards the best management strategies for avoiding damages
 to forests, human life and personal property in the 'hotspot' districts.

Title: A mixed integer linear programming model for optimisation of organics management in an integrated solid waste system 
Abstract:
  In this paper, the authors propose a mixed integer linear programming
 model for designing an Integrated Solid Waste Management System (ISWMS) to
 meet specific economic goals. The model refers to a set of municipalities,
 known as 'local basin', which have to share a common waste management
 system. At the municipal level the model allows for an identification of
 the optimal collection service option; at the local basin level, the model
 provides the optimal waste flow appropriate to the collection service
 option of each municipality. The model has been applied to a full-scale
 case study of an area located in southeast Italy. A scenario analysis was
 carried out to investigate alternative municipal solid waste management
 options, which fundamentally differ in the organic flow mass rate to be
 either collected and composted or landfilled. Findings show that an
 increase in the cost of landfilling determines the optimal collection
 scenario and the configuration plants tend to recover higher rates of
 organics in separate collection and thus higher refuse derived fuel
 productions. The results obtained validate the application of the model in
 both the strategic planning and operational phases, by supporting public
 administrators at both municipality and local basin level in decision
 making and evaluation of technical and economic performances of ISWMSs.

Title: Greenhouse gas emissions along the rural-urban gradient 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates how land use relates to greenhouse gas emissions,
 using data sources that are readily available to municipal planners. It
 presents a causal framework linking settlement patterns to greenhouse gas
 emissions via landscape impacts (deforestation, carbon sequestration by
 soils and plants, urban heat island), infrastructure impacts
 (transportation-related emissions, waste management-related emissions,
 electric transmission and distribution losses) and buildings (residential,
 commercial). This is not a full accounting because it does not include
 impacts from industrial activities, agriculture and consumer behavior not
 related to land use, such as food consumption and air travel. Exploratory
 case studies of municipalities lying along a gradient of increasing
 population density suggest that per-capita carbon dioxide emissions vary
 widely, following an inverted 'U' shape, with post-war suburbs riding the
 pinnacle. Reflecting their central regional roles, municipalities with
 good jobs-to-housing ratios have higher per-capita emissions because they
 host both residential and commercial buildings. Buildings typically
 contribute more emissions than personal transportation. Vehicle-miles
 traveled per capita shrink most dramatically at very high population
 densities and where transit options exist. Changing land-use patterns is a
 political challenge because localism and outdated zoning ordinances
 subvert regional solutions. Technical fixes, especially green buildings,
 must be part of the solution.

Title: Proximity economics and environment: assessment and prospects 
Abstract:
  The use of the theoretical tools provided by proximity economics to
 address environmental questions, and the emergence of analyses
 revitalising the role of the spatial dimension in environmental problems,
 date from the late 1990s. This paper first aims to provide a review of the
 research conducted in this field and second to suggest some future
 research directions concerning the respective roles of geographical
 proximity and organised proximity in the production and management of
 environmental problems. First, it deals with the topic of 'geographical
 proximity and land-use conflicts', a topic that is currently the most
 researched in this field. This is followed by a discussion of the role of
 organised proximity in the regulation of environmental problems. The paper
 then explores the relation between the uncertainty associated with
 environmental issues and relations of organised proximity. Next it
 outlines a few possible research directions, focusing more particularly on
 the roles of geographical proximity as a mode of regulation of
 environmental problems, and on the possible role of organised proximity in
 their production. The concluding section draws an overview of the
 departures and extensions that have resulted from taking into account
 environmental issues in the paradigm of proximity economics.

  This paper assesses the appeal of potential interventions on the tourism
 offer of Rimini, a popular Italian seaside holiday destination, by means
 of a choice modelling analysis. Tourism can be viewed as a composite good,
 its overall utility depending on the arrangement of the component
 characteristics. The discrete choice experiments here incorporate as
 attributes a number of possible changes to current tourist activities (the
 subject of public debate), including them in hypothetical alternative
 holiday packages. The conditional logit analysis indicates that tourists
 show lesser preference for interventions aimed at protecting the
 environmental integrity of the beach and greater preference for those,
 such as the creation of a pedestrianised seafront with late-night opening
 of amenities and facilities, that are likely to diminish the role of the
 traditional sea, sun and sand component of the overall holiday experience.

Title: Sustainable development in the Clean Development Mechanism: the role of Designated National Authority in China and India 
Abstract:
  The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) emerged under the Kyoto Protocol to
 facilitate collaboration between developed and developing countries in
 order to mitigate greenhouse gases. The CDM allows developed countries to
 receive credits towards meeting their obligatory targets by investing in
 emission reduction projects in developing countries. The countries are
 required to set up a Designated National Authority (DNA) to approve the
 CDM projects. This paper examines the role of the DNA in ensuring
 sustainable development, using the empirical case of China and India.
 Three aspects of the DNA's role are examined: the institutional structure,
 the policy context and the CDM project market. All three aspects highlight
 the important role of the DNA in meeting the countries' sustainable
 development priorities.

Title: The quality of greenways planning in northwest Indiana: a focus on sustainability principles 
Abstract:
  Although the development of greenways is an increasingly popular trend,
 little research has focused on evaluating plans to determine how well they
 address sustainability principles. For this study, the authors completed a
 qualitative analysis of 32 plans, and a quantitative analysis of 27 plans
 from jurisdictions in northwest Indiana that address greenways and open
 space. Evaluations were based upon an established system to evaluate
 sustainability that the researchers modified for greenways. Plans are
 ranked based upon their quality and a qualitative analysis and description
 of each ranking are provided. Results from an ordered logit model show
 that the most significant determinants of plan-rank in relation to
 greenways are the population size of the planning jurisdiction, ratio of
 the population that is white, and population residing in the same house
 for five or more years. A spatial analysis of plan-rank reveals that there
 is no clustering of highly ranked plans.

Title: Why are Californians interested in hybrid cars? 
Abstract:
  This paper explores quantitatively Californians' interest in hybrid
 electric vehicles (HEV) based on a statewide phone survey conducted in
 July 2004 by the Public Policy Institute of California. The paper develops
 ordered choice models and factors that summarise beliefs about energy and
 the environment using principal component analysis. As expected,
 Californians concerned about the environment, energy efficiency, global
 warming and recent increases in the price of gasoline state a higher
 interest in hybrids; an even more important reason for considering hybrid
 electric vehicles, however, is the possibility of using high occupancy
 vehicle (HOV) lanes while driving alone, especially for people with
 potentially long commutes to work. The findings also suggest that beliefs
 about energy and the environment should be included in vehicle type choice
 models.

Title: The valuation of historical sites: a case study of Valdivia, Chile 
Abstract:
  The economic valuation of cultural heritage is an area of increasing
 interest and an important research topic in the emerging field of cultural
 economics. Many services and values associated with cultural heritage are
 not traded in markets, and their estimation requires methods developed for
 the valuation of non-market goods, such as those used in environmental
 economics. This paper applies the contingent valuation method with double
 dichotomous choice to estimate the value of historical sites in the city
 of Valdivia, Chile. The valuation exercise was implemented by designing a
 hypothetical guided walking tour to a cluster of historical sites in the
 city centre, and surveying tourists visiting the city during the summer of
 2004. Parametric and non-parametric statistical methods were used to
 estimate the survival distribution and the mean and median estimates of
 the willingness-to-pay (WTP). The study emphasizes the importance of
 explicitly treating heterogeneous preferences and the sensitivity of the
 survival distribution to the estimation methods used.

Title: Dimensions and models of contemporary public space management in England 
Abstract:
  This article discusses the concept of public space management and its
 evolution in a context of wider changes to urban governance. Public space
 management is taken as a sphere of urban governance in which conflicting
 societal demands on, and aspirations for, public space are interpreted
 through a set of processes and practices. Four interlinked dimensions for
 public space management are proposed: the co-ordination of interventions;
 the regulation of uses and conflicts between uses; the definition and
 deployment of maintenance routines; and investment in public spaces and
 their services. Within this conceptual framework, the paper looks at
 recent changes in public space management in England to suggest the
 emergence of alternative models of management. These are based on the
 roles ascribed to the state, to private agents and to user organisations,
 and on different approaches to dealing with the four management
 dimensions. Although the discussion shows that these models are more than
 just abstract formulations, and have been used to deal with a variety of
 public space problems, an important purpose for the paper is to provide an
 analytical framework through which to examine emergent practices in the
 management of public space and their potential consequences.

Title: Scalar tensions in the governance of waste: the resilience of state spatial Keynesianism 
Abstract:
  There has been a heightened interest in the 'region' as a key site of
 economic activities. While regionalisation is often explained as part of
 the wider process of state scalar strategy in response to global economic
 restructuring, less attention has been paid to the role of the region in
 rescaling of environmental governance. This paper aims to fill the gap by
 drawing on the changing governance of municipal waste planning in the UK.
 Such a focus demonstrates that key elements of 'spatial Keynesianism' have
 been carried through, rather than superseded, in 'the new metropolitan
 reform'. Following a brief summary of the municipal waste problem and the
 influence of the EU regulatory measures in changing waste policy in the
 UK, the paper situates the regional institution building for waste
 planning in its historical and conceptual context. It then discusses the
 key rationales for regionalisation of waste in order to substantiate the
 central argument of the paper which is: the resilience of some of the key
 features of spatial Keynesianism in the new wave of metropolitan reforms.
 The final part of the paper unpicks the inherent tensions in state
 rescaling strategy and outlines the key factors that undermine the
 capacity of the state's reconfigured regional institutions to achieve
 their prescribed goals.

Title: Clean and green? A governance analysis of waste management in New Zealand 
Abstract:
  The moniker of 'clean and green' has been popularly applied to New
 Zealand since the 1980s. Following the 1991 Resource Management Act, New
 Zealand was also heralded as a progressive nation in terms of its
 environmental policy. While both the greenness and progressiveness have
 subsequently been questioned, the formation, implementation and impact of
 environmental management has rarely been analysed from an explicit
 governance perspective. Environmental governance analyses are useful
 because they permit attention to the multitude of actors operating at a
 range of scales. In response, this paper examines one significant sector
 of environmental management in New Zealand - waste. Initially key policies
 and programmes shaping the waste landscape are considered, then
 consideration is given to the roles that public, private and civil society
 sectors play in forming and reforming that landscape. Finally, the
 performance of governing actors and the practice of governance are brought
 together in a critical appraisal of waste governance outcomes.

Title: The construction of 'waste' in the UK steel industry 
Abstract:
  The steel industry has undergone profound changes of late with high
 profile takeovers (Tata-Corus and Mittal-Arcelor) that are part of a shift
 of the industry from the global North to the global South. Steel is
 probably the material of the globalised world with its icons and power
 horses (the aeroplane, the cargo ship, the automobile), it is extremely
 flexible in its applications, and fits into the current discourse on
 'sustainability' because it is 'recyclable'. Indeed, the industry is keen
 to stress its 'green' credentials and efficient management of material
 flows in a context of rising costs, particularly of raw materials.
 Paradoxically, steel tends to be seen, not least by the social sciences,
 as an 'old-fashioned' and 'dirty' industry. This paper explores this
 apparent paradox through the issue of 'waste' management in the industry
 because it allows an analysis of the multi-dimensional relationships
 between materials, technologies and practices. Drawing on the resources of
 social as well as material sciences, the paper analyses to what extent
 'waste' management is an issue of objective material properties, in
 contrast to social and organisational perceptions and practices around
 materials.

Title: Equity dimensions of hazardous waste generation in rapidly industrialising cities along the United States-Mexico border 
Abstract:
  During the last 30 years, researchers and policy analysts have voiced
 concerns about the potential impact of pollution and hazard generated by
 foreign-owned manufacturing companies operating in Mexican cities
 bordering the USA. Despite the salience of the problem, to date, efforts
 to characterise unequal exposure to hazard in these cities have produced
 limited and inconclusive evidence. This study examines the relationship
 between the spatial distribution of hazardous waste generation facilities
 and socio-economic characteristics of neighbourhoods in the Mexican border
 city of Nogales. It assembles a geographic information system (GIS) to
 relate demographic data with an inventory of export-oriented industrial
 facilities and explores whether there is a spatial correlation between the
 location of these facilities, different levels of hazard and the
 neighbourhoods' socio-economic characteristics. In contrast to prevailing
 environmental justice findings, it is suggested that industry siting is
 not primarily associated with the location of low socio-economic status
 neighbourhoods in the city of Nogales. Rather, it shows that the spatial
 distribution of hazards seems to be influenced mainly by the location and
 accessibility of urban and transportation infrastructure, suggesting that
 the environmental equity hypothesis may have to be reframed in the context
 of rapidly developing urban areas with basic infrastructure deficits.

Title: The motives for accepting or rejecting waste infrastructure facilities. Shifting the focus from the planners' perspective to fairness and community commitment 
Abstract:
  In environmental planning, decision making on land use for infrastructure
 increasingly causes conflicts, particularly with regard to contested waste
 facilities. Risk management and perceptions have become crucial. Empirical
 investigations of these conflicts brought clear advancement in the fields
 of environmental psychology, geography and risk research. However, in
 planning and policy design the dominant one-dimensional approach among
 planners remains, and the approach to address resistance to facility
 siting is not firmly founded in empirical evidence. Instead, it uses
 simplified assumptions about the motives of opponents, seeing residents as
 merely protecting their 'turf' and exclusively focusing on their own
 'backyard'. This paper presents the findings of an empirical study on risk
 perceptions, based on a large-scale survey in six decision-making
 processes for different types of waste facilities. A scale is developed to
 measure the planners' perspective of the motives for opposition. The
 analysis shows that the crucial factors in perceived risk perceptions are
 not personality traits (e.g. selfishness, economic rationality) but
 perceived environmental injustice, fairness of the process, and personal
 commitment to others. Continual thinking in terms of 'backyard' motives
 disregards the socially motivated norms for equity, fairness, and
 commitment to others and may easily undermine co-operative behaviour.

Title: &#x201c;There's just hope that no one's health is at risk&#x201d;: residents' reappraisal of a landfill siting 
Abstract:
  This paper presents the results of a longitudinal study of psychosocial
 effects in a population living near the Taro Aggregates Ltd. East Landfill
 site in Stoney Creek, Ontario. The scope of this research is based on the
 need for additional comparative, as well as longitudinal, studies
 measuring individual and community response to the process of site-related
 decision making, and how these responses change over time as individuals
 and communities learn to live with the landfill. Pre- and post-surveys
 were completed by area residents before and after the landfill was sited.
 Follow-up qualitative interviews contextualised and punctuated the
 quantitative findings. Results reveal the landfill prompted little change
 in concerns over time, but an increase in landfill-related health
 concerns. These findings imply an ongoing process of cognitive reappraisal
 due to a combination of contextual (e.g. perceived lack of meaningful
 involvement in the siting process, poor operational practices),
 compositional (e.g. socio-economic status, dwelling tenure), and
 collective (e.g. distrust, loss of social network) factors.

Title: Information and the decision to recycle: results from a survey of US households 
Abstract:
  This paper relies on a unique dataset collected during a national survey
 of US households to explore how different sources of information (print,
 television, radio, family/friends, work/school and others) influence the
 decision to start recycling. Although print media are influential, it is
 found that face-to-face communication (through family/friends or
 work/school) is the most effective medium to get people to start
 recycling. However, it is even better to provide households with recycling
 information from multiple sources. The respondents in this study identify
 concerns about storage space, time and the safety of recycling as the main
 obstacles to start recycling. In addition, age and ethnicity are
 statistically significant but not income or education. These findings
 should be useful for crafting information campaigns designed to boost
 recycling, although to be successful these campaigns need to incorporate
 findings from environmental psychology and knowledge of specific
 communities.

Title: Place-based local governance and sustainable communities: lessons from Canadian biosphere reserves 
Abstract:
  The quest for sustainable communities might be fostered by a new
 'place-based' governing approach that engages civil society and other
 actors in local decision-making processes. In Canada, lessons can be
 learned from the establishment and maintenance of biosphere reserves by
 networks of local communities of interests and other organisations.
 Biosphere reserves are created to promote conservation, biodiversity and
 sustainable livelihoods. Municipal and public participation in these
 reserves can be encouraged, promoting a local sense of place as well as
 sustainable community and regional development. An examination of two
 Canadian biosphere reserves, Riding Mountain and Long Point, illustrates
 how local governments and these reserves might assist each other in their
 mutual goals of long-term sustainability while offering a worthwhile model
 of local collaborative, place-based governance.

Title: Incremental evolution and devolution of Florida's Coastal High Hazard Area policy 
Abstract:
  Demarcation of Coastal High Hazard Areas (CHHAs) in Florida dates back to
 the passage of the landmark Growth Management Act (GMA) of 1985. There
 have been two subsequent legislative changes in 1994 and 2006. This paper
 draws on theories of policy implementation, policy framing and policy
 learning to shed light on this 'natural experiment' and to offer clues
 about factors that impact how and why policies evolve and devolve even
 after multiple revisions. Although the case study is focused on Florida,
 the lessons are transferable to land use and environmental policy makers
 seeking a balance between economic development, property rights and
 environmental risk.

Title: Estimating the effectiveness of a vehicle miles travelled tax in reducing particulate matter emissions 
Abstract:
  This study estimates the effectiveness of a vehicle miles travelled (VMT)
 tax in controlling mobile-source emissions of particulate matter (PM2.5)
 in a non-attainment area located in northern Utah. Using a recently
 updated household-level dataset, the study finds no evidence of an
 endogenous relationship between choice of vehicle type and VMT. VMT
 elasticities are also estimated with respect to cost per mile that are in
 some cases larger in magnitude than those reported in previous studies.
 Based on vehicle emissions tests performed by the Houston Advanced
 Research Center, the study estimates the reduction in particulate
 emissions that would occur with two different sets of VMT tax rates.
 Principal findings are that a VMT tax rate of $0.003 per passenger car
 mile and $0.01 per light-duty truck mile (resulting in a mean annual tax
 burden of $128 per household in the first year) would reduce annual
 particulate emissions by between 7% and 11%, depending upon the degree of
 heterogeneity in household driving behaviour. Assuming constant
 elasticity, this means that at tax rates of $0.006 and $0.02 per mile for
 passenger cars and light-duty trucks, respectively (resulting in double
 the mean annual tax burden), annual particulate emissions would be reduced
 by between 12% and 23%. Both the advantages and limitations of the VMT tax
 are discussed.

Title: Costs and benefits of improving wild salmon passage in a regulated river 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of a trade-off between
 salmon and hydropower production in the Ume/Vindel River, northern Sweden.
 A distinctive element of this analysis is that estimated changes in
 resource conditions are based on detailed river-specific data. A salmon
 population model was used to develop the scenario and a novel willingness
 to pay (WTP) question, which caters for uncertainty in a different manner,
 provided an interval estimate. Non-use values are the major contributors
 to the benefit (96-517 millions of Swedish kronor (MSEK)) of increasing
 the stock of wild salmon. Sensitivity analysis suggests that the
 opportunity costs in terms of lost electricity are typically higher than
 the estimated benefits.

Title: Planning for environmental justice in an urban national park 
Abstract:
  Urban national parks were designed in the 1970s to bring nature and
 recreational opportunities to socio-economically disadvantaged communities
 in the USA. Using the theoretical frame of environmental justice, this
 paper discusses findings of a recent survey of visitors to Los Angeles'
 Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area - the United States'
 largest urban national park. Findings show park visitors were
 predominantly white, affluent, and lived nearby. People of colour
 travelled further, were significantly less likely to be return visitors,
 and were less inclined to use the park for active recreation. Seemingly,
 this park fails to meet the needs of the disadvantaged urban communities
 for whom it was created, a problem that may also affect other parks in the
 United States and potentially parks in other countries. Park planners and
 managers can take practical steps to increase accessibility to this park
 for people of colour and low-income earners, and should monitor other
 parks for patterns of ethno-racially differentiated access and
 utilisation.

Title: Commuting lives: children's mobility and energy use 
Abstract:
  Globally, the issue of energy use and climate change is at the forefront
 of many national and international agendas, and also an issue central to
 children's lives and well-being. This paper examines how children are both
 affected by and contribute to the problems associated with unsustainable
 energy use as it relates to the growth of car dependent lives. The paper
 presents the findings of a study of travel as it relates to the everyday
 lives of children in the city of Dunedin in New Zealand. The study found
 that children currently lead complex car dependent lives. This extensive
 car reliance presents a serious and largely unrecognised challenge to the
 sustainable planning and management of the urban environment. The move
 towards more sustainable transportation can bring benefits for both the
 environment and for children's lives.

Title: Assessing vulnerability of selected sectors under environmental tax reform: the issue of pricing power 
Abstract:
  Environmental tax reform could bear heavily on manufacturing sectors that
 are energy intensive and highly traded, in particular if their options for
 adapting technology are limited. However, to the extent that such sectors
 can pass on the cost of the environmental taxes through higher prices
 charged to their customers, they will not suffer a lasting drop in
 profitability or output. To assess pricing power in key sectors, a model
 of long-run price setting behaviour is specified and tested. Significant
 and plausible results emerged from this exercise. Of the six sectors
 analysed, the Basic metals sector revealed least pricing power and, hence,
 greatest vulnerability, and the Non-metallic minerals sector revealed most
 pricing power. The results indicated that the world price, proxied by the
 US price, was less of a constraint than the EU price, proxied by the
 German price. Thus, international competitiveness fears are reduced not
 just where there is good potential for adapting technology but also if
 application of environmental tax reform is EU-wide.

Title: Assessing the social impacts of extensive resource use activities 
Abstract:
  Extensive forms of resource use are rarely subject to detailed
 environmental and social assessment. This paper outlines a potential
 methodology for assessment of the social impacts of extensive resource use
 activities based on the Pressure-State-Impact-Response (PSIR) model of
 integrated indicator development. It then tests this methodology through a
 case study of changed water flow regimes in Central Queensland's Fitzroy
 River catchment. While resource degradation associated with interruptions
 to flow was expected to force all resource users to face higher costs and
 greater uncertainty, negative social impacts were particularly
 concentrated among vulnerable groups and downstream industries. Extension
 of the PSIR framework and methodology proved useful in linking social and
 biophysical research and would thus appear to offer some potential as a
 model for incorporating social concerns within natural resource decision
 making.

Title: Applying environmental policy instruments to used oil 
Abstract:
  A comprehensive assessment was conducted of California's Used Oil
 Program, which was established in 1992 to reduce the illegal disposal, and
 promote the reuse, of used lubricating oil. This paper summarises selected
 key findings of the assessment and discusses them in the context of
 designing and implementing policy instruments for promoting
 environmentally responsible waste management. The approach known as
 'community-based social marketing' is identified as a promising option.

Title: Regional impervious surface estimation: an urban heat island application 
Abstract:
  This paper describes a GIS-based estimation method that can be used to
 forecast future amounts of impervious surface as a mitigation measure for
 urban heat island effect in a metropolitan region. The method is unique
 because it employs a regression model that links the existing amount of
 impervious surface to population and employment at the census tract level.
 This approach provides a means to forecast future amounts of impervious
 surface based on projected population and employment. The method also
 includes a detailed analysis of high-resolution aerial photography to
 divide impervious surfaces into different categories. Subdividing
 impervious surfaces is necessary to evaluate potential urban heat island
 mitigation policies for different types of impervious surface. The
 analysis here shows that the impervious surface in the metropolitan
 Atlanta region will increase to 2638&#xa0;km2 in 2030, an increase of 45%
 from 2000. The most common type of impervious surface is dark-coloured
 pavement. Within this study area, the analyses showed that two-thirds of
 impervious surfaces are dark. Replacing dark pavement with light pavement
 materials, therefore, represents an important opportunity to mitigate the
 urban heat island effect in the Atlanta region.

Title: Surrender or resistance to the implementation of Local Agenda 21 in Portugal: the challenges of local governance for sustainable development 
Abstract:
  The aim of this paper is to understand how Local Agenda 21 (LA21) is
 contributing to update local policy and decision making towards
 sustainable development in Portugal. Departing from a theoretical view of
 governance for sustainable development - its core values and challenges -
 and the role of LA21 in its endorsement, the paper presents the main
 results of a questionnaire survey submitted to Portuguese municipalities,
 with the purpose of understanding how far LA21 is being incorporated into
 planning and management. The paper then tries to expose some of the main
 potential, limitations and challenges in the local Portuguese case for the
 short-term sustainable future.

Title: Can you be bothered? The role of participant motivation in the valuation of species conservation measures 
Abstract:
  Group-based approaches to the elicitation of stated preferences are
 considered particularly suitable for valuing unfamiliar or complex
 environmental goods. While such exercises provide participants with
 detailed information and time to think and deliberate, they require a
 considerable degree of motivation from the respondents. Effects of
 motivation on willingness to pay (WTP) tend to be ignored within the
 valuation research community, although similar effects have been reported
 in psychological literature. In this study, a novel approach using video
 recordings and behaviour coding of participants in group-based Market
 Stall meetings was employed to measure motivation as well as its impact on
 WTP and the theoretical and convergent validity of stated WTP. Indicators
 of motivation correlated significantly with both WTP statements and their
 validity, with more motivated individuals stating higher and more valid
 bids. These findings suggest that the recognition of motivation is an
 important novel element of research into stated preferences, particularly
 with respect to usefulness and quality of WTP measures.

Title: Recreation benefits of natural area characteristics at the El Yunque National Forest 
Abstract:
  The paper applies the Contingent Valuation Method using a visitor survey
 to determine trip values to three rivers in northeastern Puerto Rico.
 Sample data were obtained from 984 interviews conducted in 13 sites during
 the summer months. The trip value is statistically decomposed into
 components representing natural features and recreation activities. The
 median net economic value of a river visit without waterfalls or foot
 trails is $96. Recreation at rivers with both waterfalls and foot trails
 has a median value of $138 per trip. The presence of waterfalls accounts
 for $23 and foot trails $19 per trip. This information can be pertinent
 for managers in selecting recreation site locations and protecting them
 from competing uses.

Title: Ohio's Balanced Growth Program: a case study of collaboration for planning and policy design 
Abstract:
  This paper describes the collaborative planning process for a new
 landscape planning programme in Ohio that seeks to influence land
 urbanisation patterns through joint local land use decision making on a
 watershed basis. The programme was developed through a collaborative
 process by a state agency-appointed task force that included agency staff
 and a wide range of stakeholders. The paper describes the process in terms
 of the collaborative mechanisms, the participants, the programmatic
 outputs, and the social and organisational outcomes that set the
 foundation for enhanced watershed quality through better land use
 decision-making practices. Key collaborations formed during the process
 were inter-agency collaborations, a non-profit organisation that partnered
 with the agencies, and that of state agencies with local governments to
 develop watershed-based land use plans. A most critical outcome was
 creation of a learning community, through an exploratory research process
 that used multiple methods of data gathering and consensus-building
 deliberation. The paper is based on a review of published documents and
 plans, meeting minutes, participant observation of committee and workgroup
 meetings and interactive research.

Title: Science, economics and the design of agricultural conservation programmes in the US 
Abstract:
  Conservation programmes in the US have emphasised retirement of land from
 crop production as a mechanism for achieving multiple environmental
 benefits. Several features of these programmes, such as their eligibility
 criteria, participation incentives and length of contract, influence the
 performance of these programmes and their ease of implementation. The
 design of these programmes has evolved over time in an effort to increase
 environmental benefits while lowering costs. This paper reviews the key
 features of land retirement programmes in the US and their implications
 for programme effectiveness. In particular, it examines the potential
 benefits from spatial targeting of programme participants, linking
 contract length to the ecological services being targeted and relying more
 on science-based models for improving programme outcomes. Targeted land
 management focuses conservation practices on those portions of the
 landscape where they will achieve the greatest gains in environmental
 quality using limited programme budgets. The scientific basis for
 targeting conservation efforts is improving through better understanding
 of ecological and hydrological processes; however, better guidelines need
 to be developed to incorporate this understanding in developing decision
 support tools that local programme administrators can use effectively.

Title: Farm choice between agri-environmental contracts in the European Union 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this paper is to analyse land allocation between competing
 agri-environmental contracts, taking into account institutional issues,
 the characteristics of the farm and farm household. Three types of
 agri-environmental contract are considered: a Biodiversity Protection
 Contract, a Landscape Management Contract and a Restriction on Intensive
 Practices Contract. The paper demonstrates that it is important to study
 the choices made between the different agri-environmental contracts. The
 reasons for this are that a unit of land can only be allocated to one
 contract (although the farm itself can choose to hold more than one
 contract) and the perceived relative marginal cost of a contract can
 change if the institutional setting, the farm household or the farm
 characteristics alter. The model uses a two-stage method. As a first
 stage, the probability of contract choice is determined. In the second
 stage these probabilities are linked to costs and the optimal contract
 choice is determined.

Title: Threshold effect and co-ordination of agri-environmental efforts 
Abstract:
  This paper deals with policy mechanism designs for agri-environmental
 schemes when the bio-physical processes are characterised by threshold
 effects. There is a threshold effect when specified farming practices must
 be applied on a minimal share of an area of interest to trigger
 perceptible changes of the state of the natural environment. Schemes
 result in a pure economic loss if the induced agri-environmental efforts
 are not sufficient. Different situations are considered, including the
 lack of information on farmers' characteristics or actions, uncertainty on
 the relationship between farming practices and environmental quality, and
 combined difficulties of scheme design.

Title: Investigating farmers' preferences for the design of agri-environment schemes: a choice experiment approach 
Abstract:
  In recent decades agri-environment schemes (AES) have become an
 increasingly important tool for policy makers aiming to reverse the
 post-war decline in environmental quality on agricultural land. The
 voluntary nature of such schemes means that the decision of farmers to
 participate is central to achieving policy objectives. Therefore, this
 paper uses a choice experiment approach to investigate the role that
 scheme design can have on encouraging farmers to participate. Choice data
 was gathered from a survey of farmers in 10 case study areas across the EU
 and analysed using both mixed logit and latent class models. In general,
 farmers were found to require greater financial incentives to join schemes
 with longer contracts or that offer less flexibility or higher levels of
 paperwork. It was also observed that a large segment of farmers ('low
 resistance adopters') would be willing to accept relatively small
 incentive payments for their participation in schemes offering relatively
 little flexibility and high levels of additional paperwork, when compared
 to a contrasting segment of 'high resistance adopters'.

Title: Measuring private transaction costs of European agri-environmental schemes 
Abstract:
  Recent changes in European agri-environmental policy allow farmers'
 transaction costs (TCs), also called private TCs, to be taken into account
 when calculating compensation payments for agri-environmental schemes
 (AESs). This gives rise to questions as to the significance of these costs
 and the methodologies used to measure them. In this paper, private TCs are
 measured and analysed using two methodologies: (1) through a survey of
 general perceptions of TCs and (2) through a one-year registration system
 for monitoring labour hours, operational and administrative costs and
 differences in revenue between a parcel of land in an AES and a comparable
 area of land not in a comparable scheme. The results obtained with both
 methodologies show that private TCs are significant and not to be
 underestimated. They represent about 15% of the total AES-related costs
 and about 25% of the compensation payment. The most important cost factor
 resulting from an AES-uptake is the income foregone which represents more
 than 50% of the total costs.

Title: Agri-environment contract adoption under fixed and variable compliance costs 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses the heterogeneity of compliance costs on farmers'
 choices to participate in agri-environment schemes. The theoretical
 distinction between fixed and variable costs is used to explain why
 factors that determine participation may differ from those which determine
 how much land participants enrol in a scheme. The level of fixed costs may
 explain why the smallest farms tend to be least likely to participate in
 such schemes. The empirical analysis presented in the paper compares
 models estimated with and without the hypothesis of negligible fixed
 costs. It also discusses the situation where the nature of costs can be
 identified and isolated. The results show that in the presence of fixed
 compliance costs, fixed transaction costs are a significant contracting
 barrier for smallest farms.

Title: Deciding how to decide on agri-environmental schemes: the political economy of subsidiarity, decentralisation and participation in the European Union 
Abstract:
  Since 1992 the provision of agri-environmental schemes (AESs) has been
 obligatory for member states of the European Union. However, decisions
 concerning the actual design of schemes and measures are left to member
 states who have to integrate this policy within their administrative
 structures and to comply with the general rules laid down in the EU rural
 development regulations. Over time, the respective council regulations
 have increasingly encouraged member states to design agri-environmental
 policy in a sub-national, decentralised and participatory way. However,
 the response to these opportunities has been quite diverse amongst the
 member states. This paper presents the results of a unique expert survey
 in nine different member states, focusing on decentralisation and
 participation. The results show that the way in which decisions are made
 affects the environmental effectiveness of AES. In particular, the
 involvement of actors at a local level and the participation of
 environmental NGOs have a positive effect on the environmental
 effectiveness of AES. Therefore, it is not surprising that most actors
 involved in decision making surrounding AESs are in favour of further
 decentralisation and participation in order to tackle agri-environmental
 problems. However, actors from the agricultural administration and
 agricultural associations, which are the most influential groups in terms
 of the design of AESs, oppose extending participation to the local level
 and to environmental associations.

Title: Ex post environmental evaluation of agri-environment schemes using experts' judgements and multicriteria analysis 
Abstract:
  Assessing the environmental impact of agri-environment schemes (AESs) is
 complicated by the lack of both specific measurable objectives and
 dedicated environmental monitoring of the impacts. A methodology to
 estimate the environmental performance of AESs was applied in nine EU case
 study areas, and reduced the complexity of scheme structure into elements
 that were assessed by experts. Multi-criteria analysis (MCA) techniques
 helped produce aggregated judgements about single objectives or measures.
 Expert panels assessed the link between environmental measures and
 objectives by scoring specific criteria that reflect important factors for
 delivering environmental effectiveness: valid research models for measures
 (cause-and-effect); quality of implementation by farmers and institutions;
 extent of participation and degree of spatial targeting. Multi-criteria
 analysis enabled comparison of the degree to which environmental
 effectiveness (estimated from the criteria scores) within a scheme was
 achieved across environmental objectives of different importance. There
 were considerable differences in overall environmental performance across
 different case study areas, and the experts' scores identified scope for
 improvement in one or more criteria in most measures. Higher priority
 environmental objectives (as assessed by stakeholders) did not necessarily
 demonstrate highest environmental performance. We discuss implications for
 learning how to improve the design and evaluation of AESs.

Title: Estimating the value of foresight: aggregate analysis of natural hazard mitigation benefits and costs 
Abstract:
  Hazard mitigation planners claim that foresighted present actions and
 investments produce significant future benefits. However, they have
 difficulty in supporting their claims, since previously their evidence
 typically was derived from individual case studies. Constituents and
 decision makers are often sceptical, believing that individual cases are
 either inapplicable to their situation or non-randomly selected to support
 a particular view. Planners need objective evidence based on a large body
 of experience to support the case for mitigation. Such is the unique
 contribution of a recent U.S. study that found that each dollar spent in
 three federal natural hazard mitigation grant programs (the Hazard
 Mitigation Grant Program, Project Impact, and the Flood Mitigation
 Assistance Program) saves society an average of $4 in future avoided
 losses. Complementing the aggregate benefit-cost analysis with
 community-based evaluations, the study yielded insights on how planners
 can improve long-term community resilience in the face of extreme events.
 Valuable lessons for mitigation planners and policy makers emerged: the
 need to consider a wide variety of losses, the importance of mixing
 qualitative with quantitative analysis, the value of averaging results
 over a large number of projects, and the need to more explicitly address
 social issues and data collection in order to reduce vulnerability and
 enhance resilience to cope with twenty-first century hazards.

Title: Transaction costs and agri-environmental policy measures: are preferences influencing policy implementation? 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates whether the level of transaction costs of a
 Swedish agri-environmental policy measure is attributable to technical
 factors or whether political factors, such as lobby groups and political
 majorities at the county level, influence the costs. A previous study
 indicated that political factors may influence the level of transaction
 costs, but the extreme bounds analysis performed in this paper reveals
 that those results are fragile. It shows that three of the technical
 variables are robust with respect to model specifications but that none of
 the political variables are. Thus, no evidence can be found that political
 factors influence the level of transaction costs.

Title: Cost-benefit analysis of an accelerated vehicle-retirement programme 
Abstract:
  High taxes on new cars in Israel provide an incentive for car owners to
 defer the purchase of new vehicles. The result is a vehicle fleet of
 older, more polluting vehicles, with air pollution costs estimated at up
 to $530 million annually. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a cost
 benefit analysis (CBA) of an accelerated vehicle-retirement (AVR)
 programme. The analysis considers the private car fleet as well as trucks
 and buses. The study develops an economic model to identify the optimal
 payment level that will maximise the net benefit of the programme, and
 then apply the model to three different vehicle categories. It finds that
 an AVR programme for private cars may indeed yield significant net
 benefits, while a similar programme for trucks and buses fails to meet the
 cost-benefit test. For private cars, the study finds that even according
 to a conservative estimate, the programme will result in the voluntary
 retirement of approximately 98,000 private cars, with a present value net
 benefit of more than $50 million. This is equal to a 17% reduction in
 total annual private car air pollution costs for the five-year time span
 of the proposed programme.

Title: Environmental justice: lessons on definition and delivery from Scotland 
Abstract:
  This paper considers the concept of environmental justice in Scotland. It
 reviews the research and developments in law and policy in this area,
 starting with the Dynamic Earth speech in Edinburgh in 2002. It analyses
 the findings by grouping causes and solutions to environmental justice and
 identifies a particularly wide definition of the concept in Scotland. It
 concludes that the inclusion of social justice is a defining feature of
 environmental justice in Scotland; however, measures to mitigate
 environmental injustice are being implemented in an incremental way, with
 the most significant achievements being through the implementation of
 international obligations.

Title: Water reforms in Brazil: opportunities and constraints 
Abstract:
  The last decade saw repeated attempts to adopt and implement an
 integrated management of water in Brazil. Internationally established
 principles, such as water economics and public participation, have
 influenced the development of a novel regulatory framework for water use
 and conservation in the country. However, despite changes in policies and
 in the legislation, the opportunity to address old and new management
 problems has been largely frustrated by the internal contradictions of the
 ongoing institutional reforms. A case study of the Paraiba do Sul River
 Basin demonstrates the distance between, on the one hand, calls for
 decentralisation and responsibility sharing and, on the other hand, the
 persistence of bureaucratised and exclusionary practices. The main
 distortion is the excessive effort expended on the introduction of water
 pricing and environmental charges, a controversial policy instrument that
 has dominated the agenda of the new river basin committee, at the expense
 of addressing river restoration, public mobilisation and environmental
 justice.

Title: Willing and able: explaining individuals' engagement in environmental policy making 
Abstract:
  Research on attitudes toward environmental policy making has often
 overlooked the important role that risks play in forming individual
 attitudes towards the environment. Similarly, this research often assumes
 that the factors that affect attitudes are similar across different
 environmental domains. The purpose of this research is to examine how the
 factors that affect an individual's willingness to get involved in
 environmental policy making differ on two environmental issues - nuclear
 power and drinking water. The study utilises multivariate statistical
 techniques to explore the relationship that uncertainty, risk, and trust
 play in an individual's willingness to take action in environmental policy
 making. The data consist of responses to a national random telephone
 survey of 403 adults in the United States. The individuals surveyed are
 more likely to take action on the less avoidable potential threat of
 nuclear power than they are on drinking water. The respondents believe
 that the potential harm from nuclear power is greater than that from
 drinking water. The individuals most likely to take action are those who
 indicate that they are interested in environmental issues.

Title: Sustainability versus liveability: an investigation of neighbourhood satisfaction 
Abstract:
  Recent years have witnessed an increasing emphasis placed on planning
 systems in most advanced capitalist societies to develop a more
 sustainable urban development pattern, resulting in policies to increase
 residential densities. Although belief in the virtues of the compact city
 approach is now widespread among the policy community, questions remain
 relating to the 'sustainability versus liveability' implications of
 compact city environments. In this regard, while the public may support
 sustainability principles, there is a perception that high-density
 development poses too great a cost on individuals' quality of life.
 Combining both quantitative and qualitative research data, this paper
 evaluates the relationship between high-density living and neighbourhood
 satisfaction within the central city. Findings suggest that, in many
 instances, it is not high density per se that is the source of
 dissatisfaction for respondents, but rather other related factors such as
 environmental quality, noise, lack of community involvement, traffic and
 lack of services and facilities.

Title: Flood risk management in Dutch local spatial planning practices 
Abstract:
  Spatial planning is increasingly regarded as an important instrument to
 reduce flood consequences. Nevertheless, there are very few studies that
 show why local planning authorities do or do not systematically use
 spatial planning in advance to mitigate flood risks. This paper explores
 flood reduction strategies in local planning practices in the Netherlands.
 It also explores why spatial planning was or was not used to reduce flood
 consequences. The arguments for the use or non-use of planning mainly
 referred to requirements from other governmental bodies and the perceived
 role and the related responsibility of local planning authorities,
 previous disaster experience, and previous experience with spatial
 planning for flood risk management.

Title: Health benefits valuation of regulatory intervention for air pollution control in thermal power plants in Delhi, India 
Abstract:
  This study estimates minimum marginal health benefits (morbidity
 reduction only) of air pollution control and total health benefits arising
 from regulatory intervention regarding the adoption of the World Bank
 emission guidelines (WBEG) for thermal power plants (TPPs) in Delhi. The
 Industrial Source Complex-Short-Term Version-3 (ISCST3) model has been
 used to estimate the contribution to air pollution from TPPs. The
 household health production function (avertive behaviour) has been used to
 value health benefits of air pollution control. The study revealed that
 the ambient air pollution due to TPPs is reduced by between 62.17% to
 83.45% by adopting the WBEG. Annual marginal benefit due to reduction in
 exposure to air pollution by 1&#xa0;&#x3bc;g m-3 is estimated to be
 US$0.353 per person. Total annual health benefits for adopting the WBEG
 for TPPs are estimated at US$235.19 million. This study provides a novel
 methodology to evaluate health benefits of regulatory intervention.

Title: Using social resilience and resource dependency to increase the effectiveness of marine conservation initiatives in Salum, Egypt 
Abstract:
  The social and economic ramifications of marine conservation strategies
 such as marine protected areas (MPAs) are important to consider prior to
 their implementation to ensure that they do not exceed the resilience of
 resource-users and that resource protection might be maximised through
 compliance and low resistance. This paper presents a framework in which
 the human dimensions can be more easily and usefully integrated into the
 design and delivery of conservation initiatives. The framework espouses
 quantifying (1) the level of dependency on the resource; (2) perceptions
 towards conservation initiatives; and (3) social resilience. The framework
 is applied in Salum, Egypt, which is the site of a prospective MPA.

Title: How much do people who live near major nuclear facilities worry about those facilities? Analysis of national and site-specific data 
Abstract:
  Large nuclear waste management, laboratory and electric power generating
 complexes are a daunting challenge for state, regional and local planners.
 A survey of 2101 residents who lived near 11 nuclear power plants and US
 Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear waste management sites and laboratories
 was conducted to determine how much nearby residents worried about
 accidents and chronic emissions at the nuclear sites, how much they
 trusted the sites' responsible parties, and actions that they wanted
 responsible parties to take to reduce public concern. Six hundred other
 people who lived elsewhere in the US were a comparison group. Nuclear
 site-related issues were a greater concern among the 2101 who lived near
 the sites than the comparison group. Yet many were more concerned about
 global warming, traffic congestion, and loss of open space than nuclear
 technologies. Monitoring the environment and people were the actions
 deemed most likely to reduce public concern. The results pose a challenge
 to owner-operators of nuclear facilities, government entities and
 especially to locally based environmental planners and managers to
 establish partnerships with each other and diverse communities that will
 allow them to manage some of these risks for decades and in some cases
 into perpetuity.

Title: Land use planning and wildfire risk mitigation: an analysis of wildfire-burned subdivisions using high-resolution remote sensing imagery and GIS data 
Abstract:
  This paper evaluates risk factors that influence the probability that a
 house will burn from wildfire. A logistic regression is used to analyse
 data processed from pre-fire and post-fire IKONOS images and other
 geo-referenced data. The dependent variable is the probability that a
 given house will burn. A total of 12 independent variables are evaluated:
 vegetation density; area of defensible space; adjacency of a parcel to
 public lands; proximity of a house to fire station; road width; road type;
 parcel size; subdivision morphology; assessed value; elevation; slope and
 aspect. Model results generally support dominant land use planning and
 design strategies for wildfire risk reduction including vegetation
 treatments, site selection with respect to topography, and improving
 access to fire stations.

Title: Convergence or divergence in desertification risk? Scale-based assessment and policy implications in a Mediterranean country 
Abstract:
  This paper explores changes (1990-2000) in two environmental indexes with
 the aim of providing empirical evidence on regional and local convergence
 in an increasing-impact phenomenon such as Land Degradation (LD) in Italy.
 Convergence analysis for ESAI (Environmental Sensitive Area Index) and LVI
 (Land Vulnerability Index) was developed at five different geographical
 scales. Results indicate that territorial disparities in land
 vulnerability tend to increase during the investigated period following a
 defined spatial pattern that depends on land quality, the environmental
 context and the economic performance of regional systems. Finally, the
 implications this process has on policy strategies aimed at mitigating
 desertification risk are discussed.

Title: Beyond the regime: can Integrated Sustainability Assessment address the barriers to effective sustainable passenger mobility policy? 
Abstract:
  Sustainability policy making is hampered by a tendency towards
 sector-based, short-term and often techno-fix perspectives. This paper
 describes a novel policy development and assessment framework - Integrated
 Sustainability Assessment (ISA) - that may help address problems of
 unsustainability in a more integrated and strategic manner. ISA involves
 two primary methods: transition analysis and stakeholder engagement. The
 ISA case study on sustainable passenger mobility suggests ISA is well
 equipped to produce a holistic analysis of mobility systems, illustrate
 radical alternatives to the status quo and foster social learning. Further
 research should explore its potential to induce long-term behavioural or
 institutional change.

Title: Is legislation a barrier to the sustainable management of game species? A case study of wild deer in Britain 
Abstract:
  Wild game management for hunting in Western society has become
 increasingly complex as stakeholders have multiplied and as
 'sustainability' influences the contemporary debate. This paper questions
 whether the current legal framework for game management, which has evolved
 from early European civilisations to focus on 'hunting rights', is
 relevant to regulate the contemporary environmental, social and economic
 dimensions of wild game and their management. Employing a narrative
 analysis to focus on deer, the study identifies key legislative tenets and
 highlights the pertinence of historical laws to contemporary conflicts.
 The analysis suggests that current legislation is increasingly divergent
 from contemporary trends and has created inertia with respect to
 sustainable deer management. The paper offers four options to redress
 this: state intervention; voluntary collaboration; financial incentives;
 and establishing a legal responsibility for management. It is concluded
 that significant innovation is required in one or more of these four areas
 to facilitate the contemporary sustainable management of wild deer in
 Britain.

Title: The network imaginary: coherence and creativity within a multiscalar collaborative effort to reform US fire management 
Abstract:
  In response to the ongoing crisis in fire management, the US Fire
 Learning Network (FLN) engages partners in collaborative, landscape-scale
 ecological fire restoration. The paper contends that the FLN employs
 technologies, planning guidelines and media to articulate an FLN imaginary
 that co-ordinates independent efforts to engage in ecological fire
 restoration work without need of either hierarchal authority or collective
 social capital. This imaginary may allow the FLN to draw on the creativity
 and adaptive innovation of collaboration to reform fire management
 institutions and fire-adapted ecosystems.

Title: Characterising the landscape of state environmental review policies and procedures in the United States: a national assessment 
Abstract:
  Following the intent of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969,
 many states have adopted policies and procedures directing state agencies
 and local government units to evaluate the potential environmental impacts
 of development projects prior to their undertaking. In contrast to a rich
 literature on federal requirements, current understanding of state
 environmental review is narrowly focused and outdated. This paper seeks to
 provide information on the landscape of state environmental review policy
 frameworks. The paper identifies 37 states with formal environmental
 review requirements through a document review of state statutes,
 administrative rules and agency-prepared materials, and confirms this
 finding through a survey of state administrators. A two-tier
 classification is used to distinguish states based on the approach taken
 to address environmental review needs and the scope and depth of relevant
 policies and procedures implemented. This paper also provides a discussion
 of policy and programme attributes that may contribute to effective
 practice, and of the potential for adopting relevant legislation in states
 where environmental review is currently lacking.

Title: Walking in the Irish countryside: landowner preferences and attitudes to improved public access provision 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the attitudes of landowners across Ireland to the
 wider provision of public access for recreational walking using a
 multinomial logit model. The study also investigates the level of
 compensation required to improve the supply of this public good. Results
 indicate that 51% of landowners are not willing to provide access
 (non-providers), 21% are willing to provide access free of charge (free
 providers) and 28% seek compensation (willing providers). The findings
 indicate that participation by landowners in a proposed public access
 scheme is influenced by landowners' experience with walkers, farm type,
 farm insurance costs, household demographics, regional variations,
 opportunity cost of land and participation in other agri-environment
 schemes. Mean willingness-to-accept for landowners willing to facilitate
 improved public access for walking was found to be &#x20ac;0.27 per metre
 of walkway.

Title: Environmental change and fishery management in the northern Persian Gulf 
Abstract:
  Approximately 52% of the 380,000 tons of fish landings in Iran come from
 the northern Persian Gulf, with a total of 108,000 fishermen and 8900
 fishing vessels (2003 data). The fishery in the region is very important
 for the local economy, but the major problems facing the Iranian fisheries
 are an uncertain availability of fish and over-fishing. The Persian Gulf
 is a sensitive marine ecosystem. The Gulf is a partially enclosed sea with
 an average depth of 35 metres and replacement of waters take some three to
 five years. Environmental factors have a major effect on fish stocks and
 fisheries in such a sensitive ecosystem. This study examines the influence
 of environmental changes in water temperature, rainfall, wind and sea
 level pressure on fish stocks in the northern Persian Gulf and estimates
 the maximum sustainable yields for fisheries management. Multivariate data
 and surplus production bio-economic models with environmental parameters
 are used to determine optimal harvest and forecasting. The study found
 that rainfall, water temperature and wind had significant positive effects
 whereas sea level pressure had a negative effect on the fisheries in the
 northern Persian Gulf. It is concluded that environmental parameters
 should be monitored concurrently with the fisheries to allow a greater
 understanding for fisheries management in the Persian Gulf.

Title: Regional governance and hazard information: the role of co-ordinated risk assessment and regional spatial accounting in wildfire hazard mitigation 
Abstract:
  With the threat of wildfire hanging over many communities in the Western
 and Southern United States, wildfire mitigation is evolving into a
 significant public responsibility for rural and urban edge county
 governments. Regional governance is an important piece of the effort to
 reduce wildfire risks although still weakly developed as a policy arena.
 This project explores two dimensions in which planning support systems can
 support regional governance: assessing patterns of wildfire risk
 accumulation; and, evaluating land use planning alternatives and their
 effects on cumulative risk levels. These tools are examined for regional
 governance using a prototype planning information system, the Alternative
 Growth Futures (AGF) tool, a scenario-building approach developed at the
 University of Colorado Denver. The project develops a hybrid urban growth
 model that integrates logistic regression techniques and methods for
 simulation of growth alternatives. This model is used to evaluate the
 attractiveness of undeveloped building sites with respect to natural
 amenities, distance to primary urban services and site characteristics
 such as slope. The model and scenario-testing framework are reasonably
 robust and suggest that regional spatial accounting methods have potential
 as a framework for inter-governmental and public discussion around
 wildfire planning.

Title: Measuring neighbourhood air pollution: the case of Seattle's international district 
Abstract:
  Current US regulatory air quality monitoring networks measure ambient
 levels of pollutants and cannot capture the effects of mobile sources at
 the micro-scale. Despite the fact that overall air quality has been
 getting better, more vulnerable populations (children, the elderly,
 minorities and the poor) continue to suffer from traffic-related air
 pollution. As development intensifies in urban areas, more people are
 exposed to road-related air pollution. However, the only consideration
 given to air quality, if any, is based on ambient measures. This paper
 uses an inexpensive, portable Particle Soot Absorption Photometer (PSAP)
 to measure Black Carbon (BC) emissions, a surrogate for diesel fuels
 emissions, in Seattle's International District. With the aid of a GPS
 receiver, street-level BC data were geocoded in real space-time. It was
 found that pollution levels differed substantially across the study area.
 The results show the need for street-level air pollution monitoring,
 revisions in current land use and transportation policies, and air quality
 planning practice.

Title: Moving from agenda to action: evaluating local climate change action plans 
Abstract:
  Climate change is conventionally recognised as a large-scale issue
 resolved through regional or national policy initiatives. However, little
 research has been done to directly evaluate local climate change action
 plans. This study examines 40 recently adopted local climate change action
 plans in the US and analyses how well they recognise the concepts of
 climate change and prepare for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
 The results indicate that local climate change action plans have a high
 level of 'awareness', moderate 'analysis capabilities' for climate change,
 and relatively limited 'action approaches' for climate change mitigation.
 The study also identifies specific factors influencing the quality of
 these local jurisdictional plans. Finally, it provides policy
 recommendations to improve planning for climate change at the local level.

Title: A contextual framework for understanding good practice in integrated catchment management 
Abstract:
  Principles of good practice for collaborative resource management were
 derived from the literature and their use studied in a range of integrated
 catchment management processes. Desk-based reviews and interviews with
 participants allowed the principles to be refined and described within a
 framework that illustrates the interrelationships between core principles,
 enabling principles, precursors to a project and the influence of external
 factors on such collaborative processes. The findings illustrate the
 importance of these relationships in understanding how success is defined
 and under what conditions successful outcomes can be achieved.
 Understanding how these procedural aspects influence outcomes contributes
 to the wider literature on collaborative resource management that often
 treats processes separately from their context.

Title: The values of biological diversity: a travelogue 
Abstract:
  Biological diversity is an abstract, scientific concept and both
 evaluating its condition and, to great extent, justifying its conservation
 requires expert knowledge. Accordingly, regulating and managing biological
 diversity presupposes standardisation and methods for managing
 uncertainty. To be acted on, the concept must be promoted, passing, in
 this process, through various institutions, such as intergovernmental
 organisations and national administrations. This paper examines how the
 principle of biological diversity conservation is defined, focusing on the
 values of biological diversity and how this notion has 'travelled the
 world'. The paper includes a study of how the principle of biological
 diversity was applied in a specific case of insect control in Sweden.

Title: Take your swimsuit along: the value of improving urban bathing sites in the metropolitan area of Berlin 
Abstract:
  Many inhabitants of Berlin enjoy bathing in lakes and rivers during the
 summer. However, so far no data exist about who goes bathing and what
 quality bathers expect from bathing sites. In an online survey conducted
 during the summer of 2007 respondents were presented with a choice
 experiment concerning various attributes of bathing sites such as water
 quality or cleanliness of the beach. Applying both random parameter logit
 models as well as a latent class model reveals that unobserved taste
 heterogeneity is present among bathers, i.e. not all bathers would benefit
 equally from improving bathing sites. A test concerning preference
 consistency reveals high internal validity.

Title: International retirement migration in the Alicante region, Spain: process, spatial pattern and environmental impacts 
Abstract:
  International retirement migration has become an increasing phenomenon in
 the Mediterranean region of Alicante, Spain. Through an interdisciplinary
 approach, relationships between the migration process, landscape change
 and environmental impacts are examined. Lifestyle-related perceptions and
 demands of UK retirees are studied as a major driving force of
 urbanisation. The extent and quality of the process is assessed by
 statistical and land use data analysis. Results reveal a distinctive
 spatial pattern of in-migration and the emergence of an archetypical
 landscape, consisting of a mosaic of remaining natural and urbanised
 landscape along the Mediterranean coast. The paper discusses the necessity
 of retirees' integration into sustainable planning and decision making.

Title: Performance and dilemmas of urban containment strategies in the transformation context of Beijing 
Abstract:
  The implementation of urban containment policies is increasingly
 attracting attention in environment management. Rapid urban growth and the
 coexistence of decentralisation and marketisation challenge containment
 strategies that are implemented to control urban sprawl. This challenge is
 likely to be greater in a transformation country than in developed
 countries. This paper evaluates the performance of containment strategies
 in Beijing. The analysis shows that, to a large extent, containment
 strategies perform well; however, the decreased compactness of the fringes
 of the inter-suburban areas, caused by dispersed and illegal development,
 suggest that municipal containment strategies are being challenged by new
 trends towards local autonomy. Two similar dilemmas to those faced by
 developed countries are confronting those involved in the implementation
 of containment strategies in the current transformation process in
 Beijing: first, the municipal environmental goal might not be achieved by
 all local jurisdictions when local economic motivations are involved; and
 second, macro-scale containment policies are unlikely to control an urban
 sprawl fuelled by the growing power of market forces.

Title: Better than their reputation: enhancing the validity of contingent valuation mail survey results through citizen expert groups 
Abstract:
  Although contingent valuation is the dominant technique for the valuation
 of public projects, especially in the environmental sector, the high costs
 of contingent valuation surveys prevent the use of this method for the
 assessment of relatively small projects. The reason for this cost problem
 is that typically only contingent valuation studies which are based on
 face-to-face interviews are accepted as leading to valid results.
 Particularly in countries with high wages, face-to-face surveys are
 extremely costly considering that for a valid contingent valuation study a
 minimum of 1000 completed face-to-face interviews is required. This paper
 tries a rehabilitation of mail surveys as low-budget substitutes for
 costly face-to-face surveys. Based on an empirical contingent valuation
 study in Northern Thailand, it is shown that the validity of mail surveys
 can be improved significantly if so-called Citizen Expert Groups are
 employed for a thorough survey design.

Title: Sustainable land-use planning: revitalising a flood prone office park 
Abstract:
  This paper describes an applied research project that used a sustainable
 land-use planning approach to examine flood hazard mitigation alternatives
 in a 536-acre developed office park complex. A watershed-wide assessment
 including floodplain remapping and modelling of low-impact and large
 stormwater improvements throughout the upper watershed revealed limited
 impact on reducing flooding downstream in the environs of the office park
 during large storms. Thus emphasis had to be given to recommending
 retroactive sustainable land-use development actions such as relocating
 buildings and roadways out of the 100-year floodplain, which involves
 creating a mixed-use overlay district on high elevations, and restoring
 the floodplain.

Title: Avoiding the presumptive policy errors of intergovernmental environmental planning programmes: a case analysis of urban stormwater management planning 
Abstract:
  This social research aims to identify and examine the implementation
 presumptions of intergovernmental environmental planning programmes and
 how to improve their effectiveness in future practice. It contrasts and
 explains the organisational dynamics and implementation responses of
 municipalities that succeeded and failed in realising the objective of
 such a programme. The research involved a qualitative multiple-case
 comparison between four high- and four low-performing municipalities
 implementing a stormwater programme within metropolitan Sydney, Australia.
 These two organisational types substantially differed in corporate
 expertise, environmental leadership, extended relational activity, and
 overall disposition to learning and ownership of local environmental
 issues. The paper identified five presumptions underpinning the programme
 design which privileged the high-performing organisations, but did little
 to garner commitment and develop capacity among the low-performing group.
 These implementation insights not only provide guideposts for
 intergovernmental programme design, but also reveal how policy design can
 undermine policy intent if empathy to local organisational dynamics is
 lacking.

Title: Non-linear incentives, plan design, and flood mitigation: the case of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's community rating system 
Abstract:
  A basic proposition of 'agency theory' is that output-based performance
 incentives encourage greater effort. However, studies find that incentive
 schemes can distort effort if rewards for performance are discrete or
 non-linear. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Community
 Rating System (CRS) is a flood mitigation programme with a non-linear
 incentive design. Under this programme, localities are incentivised to
 implement a mix of 18 flood mitigation activities. Each activity is
 performance scored, with accumulated scores corresponding to a percent
 discount on flood insurance premiums for residents that hold National
 Flood Insurance policies. Discounts range from 0 to 45% and increase
 discretely in increments of 5%. With multivariate statistical and
 Geographic Information Systems analytic techniques, tests are made to find
 whether observed changes in annual CRS scores for participating localities
 in Florida are explained by non-linear incentives, adjusting for
 hydrologic conditions, flood disaster histories, socio-economic and human
 capital controls that can plausibly account for local mitigation activity
 scores over time. Results indicate that local jurisdictions are
 discount-seeking, with mitigation efforts partially driven by the
 non-linear incentive design of the CRS programme. The paper ends with
 recommendations to improve the operation FEMA's flood mitigation
 programme.

Title: From mute to reflective: changing governmentality in St Petersburg and the priorities of Russian environmental planning 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses, by using a constructivist methodology, how
 sustainability is perceived by Russian urban and regional planners and how
 environmental planning is understood on a discursive level. The planning
 discourse, which was reconstructed primarily with the help of 14 thematic
 interviews undertaken in St Petersburg, is positioned on the axes of the
 triangle of planning contradictions. The analysis shows that the promoted
 planning paradigm - the interpretations about the priorities of
 environmental planning - stem from the expert-centred approach of the
 Soviet era, and poorly suits the changing governmentality of St
 Petersburg. Due to regime changes, a significant step from a mute to a
 reflective governmentality was taken in St Petersburg, but the
 professional planning discourse is in conflict with this context reality
 and prohibits a more sustainable planning standpoint from developing.

Title: Redeveloping derelict and underused historic city areas: evidence from a survey of real estate developers 
Abstract:
  Are economic incentives and regulatory relief useful tools for
 encouraging reuse of abandoned or under-utilised urban sites with historic
 buildings? Answering this question is of key importance for many European
 cities and for older US cities, and has important implications in terms of
 urban sustainability and &#x201c;smart growth&#x201d; initiatives. This
 study uses conjoint choice experiments to explore the relative importance
 of economic incentives, regulatory relief, land use and property regime
 offerings at under-utilised historic sites in Venice, Italy. Real estate
 developers and investors were surveyed, and asked to choose between pairs
 of hypothetical projects in three Venice locations, as well as between one
 of these projects and the alternative to do a development project
 elsewhere. Statistical models of the responses to these choice questions
 indicate that respondents were sensitive to the price of acquiring the
 land (and hence to any policies that influence prices), and particularly
 sensitive to the property regime that would be granted to developers and
 investors and to the allowable land use. It is concluded that the city
 should focus on offering land uses and property regimes that are more in
 tune with developer demand.

Title: The central role of centralisation in environmental policy initialisation 
Abstract:
  While economic research on environmental policy is mainly concerned with
 instruments, political science concentrates on actors. The issue of
 centralisation needs to be analysed using a multidisciplinary approach
 because it is connected with both actors and instruments. Linking the
 Advocacy Coalition Framework with an economic approach, the paper first
 develops an innovative model in order to understand the mechanisms of
 centralisation and decentralisation in the different phases of policy
 processes. Focusing on environmental policy, the idea is developed that
 environmental policy needs the push of centralisation in order to
 institutionalise the prevailing social norm, but then should be organised
 decentrally to account for regional differences. The examples of air
 pollution, climate change and urban sprawl are used to test the
 explanatory power of the theoretical approach.

Title: Relation between management's behavioural intentions toward the environment and environmental actions 
Abstract:
  Drawing on Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behaviour, this paper analyses
 whether there is a relation between management's behavioural intentions
 toward an environmental problem and the company's specific actions in this
 area, and also considers the impact of the company size on these actions.
 For the data, a questionnaire was sent to 184 managers employed in
 industrial companies located in Spain which belonged to the automobile
 industry. The empirical analysis produces positive and significant
 regression coefficients and provides support for the hypotheses proposed.
 Specifically, the results show that the environmental actions carried out
 in the company respond at least in part to management's behavioural
 intentions toward these issues and the size of the firm.

Title: Stewardship among lifestyle oriented rural landowners 
Abstract:
  Changes in landownership associated with amenity migration are affecting
 the demographic, cadastral and ecological conditions of rural landscapes.
 These changes and concerns about their impacts on natural resource
 management, including ecological conservation, relate to both the
 structural consequences of landownership change, land subdivision and to
 the motivations, management ability and attitudes of lifestyle oriented
 rural landowners. Based on an Australian case study near Sydney, NSW, this
 paper examines the motivations and practices of such landowners, assesses
 potential consequences for vegetation and characterises the landowners
 according to three stewardship types.

Title: The impact of visual information on perceptions of water resource problems and management alternatives 
Abstract:
  To assess changes in human understanding and decision making, the paper
 examines (1) the influence of visual information on perceptions about
 groundwater management in Phoenix, Arizona and (2) the correlates and
 dimensions underlying people's views about water scarcity and mitigation
 strategies. While perceptions entrenched in ideologies are difficult to
 change, different types of information (three-dimensional versus
 two-dimensional) have distinct impacts on the perceived magnitude of
 problems compared to judgements about their causes and solutions. Overall,
 visual information may be especially useful for developing a shared
 understanding of problems and a collective vision for management
 alternatives. Additional implications of this study for fostering
 environmental awareness, policy support, and collaborative decision making
 are also discussed.

Title: Surrounded by Chemical Valley and 'living in a bubble': the case of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation, Ontario 
Abstract:
  This study examines the perceptions and coping strategies of the
 Aamjiwnaang First Nation, which is surrounded by 'Chemical Valley', the
 largest complex of petrochemical plants in Canada. Analysis of in-depth
 interviews showed that residents perceive 'Mother Earth to be sick';
 however, a strong level of community cohesion prevails, with 'place' as a
 significant anchor to the culture and history of the community. Residents
 articulated a collective sense of responsibility for the well-being of
 members both within and surrounding the community, whereby some residents
 would never leave, regardless of the toxic environment and concern for
 high rates of cancer and respiratory diseases among both adults and
 children. Residents employed action-focused coping strategies such as
 'indoor evacuation' and the 'Cop-sniff test', and emotional coping
 strategies including blocking out the effects of 'Chemical Valley' by
 frequently ignoring warning sirens from industry. The results call on the
 need for a collaborative environmental planning intervention involving
 clear community participation. Findings suggest the need for an indoor
 recreational facility for both children and adults, and a graded warning
 system.

Title: Economic costs of extratropical storms under climate change: an application of FUND 
Abstract:
  Extratropical cyclones have attracted some attention in climate policy
 circles as a possible significant damage factor of climate change. This
 study conducts an assessment of economic impacts of increased storm
 activities under climate change with the integrated assessment model FUND
 3.5. In the base case, the direct economic damage of enhanced storms due
 to climate change amounts to US$2.8 billion globally (approximately 38% of
 the total economic loss of storms at present) at the year 2100, while its
 ratio to the world GDP is 0.0009%. The paper also shows various
 sensitivity runs exhibiting up to 3 times the level of damage relative to
 the base run.

Title: A longitudinal study of the links between Local Air Quality Management and Local Transport Planning policy processes in England 
Abstract:
  The second round of the Local Transport Plan (LTP2) process in England
 presents unique challenges and opportunities for integrating Local Air
 Quality Management (LAQM) within current transport planning policy. Using
 content analysis of LTP2 documents from nine English authorities, and
 results from a questionnaire survey of local government officers
 undertaken in late 2007, this paper charts the changes in the integration
 of air quality management within the transport planning process since
 1997. While substantial improvements in policy integration were observed
 within the selected case studies, the paper demonstrates that such
 improvements are often constrained by institutional complexities that
 create implementation gaps between national objectives and local
 decision-making outcomes.

Title: The role of public involvement in environmental impact assessment in Vietnam: towards a more culturally sensitive approach 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the extent to which Western approaches to public
 involvement in environmental impact assessment (EIA) have been transferred
 to Vietnam, constraints on their use, and their appropriateness for the
 Vietnamese context. The research is based on an analysis of the public
 involvement content found in 26 EIA reports from development banks and
 interviews with 26 key informants. The study found that public involvement
 in Vietnam is generally technocratic, expert-driven and non-transparent,
 similar to the early days of EIA in the West and emerging economies.
 Public involvement usually occurs through authorised state channels such
 as commune leaders, mass organisations and professional organisations. The
 lack of a participatory culture for EIA, the nascent nature of grassroots
 democracy in the country, and Vietnamese cultural norms regarding respect
 for authority provide a challenging context for involving the public in
 EIA. The paper concludes by offering a number of suggestions for
 culturally appropriate public involvement at a time when Vietnam has just
 introduced mandatory public consultation for EIAs.

Title: Sustainable development, 20 years on: methodological innovations, practices and open issues 
Abstract:
  The aim of this introductory paper is to put into perspective some key
 methodological and practical issues raised by the analysis and
 implementation of Sustainable Development (SD) approaches in recent years.
 The key point made here is that, while SD analysis has gained in depth and
 methodological improvement, implementation issues remain problematic as
 they underlie serious institutional and strategic constraints. Through
 different angles, the five papers gathered in this special issue provide
 several illustrations of this ambivalence and emphasise some key practical
 challenges facing the design of workable SD policies and measures.

Title: Society, energy and materials: the contribution of urban metabolism studies to sustainable urban development issues 
Abstract:
  Urban areas, in particular cities, are significant consumers of materials
 and energy, either directly on their land areas or indirectly through the
 materials, goods and services they import or export; there are upstream
 and downstream consequences of the removal of resources and the discharge
 of waste materials (to the atmosphere, water and soils), with multiple
 impacts on the biosphere. The processes involved need to be better
 characterised to reduce these environmental pressures. This is a
 sustainable development issue and it is a major goal of a field ecology
 which has been described as urban, industrial or sometimes territorial.
 This paper reviews the specific origins and findings of studies on urban
 metabolism. It describes the analysis tools used, including material and
 substance flows, energy balances, ecological, water and, more generally,
 environmental footprints. Finally, recent findings and areas for future
 research in the dematerialisation of urban societies are summarised.

Title: Territory and energy sustainability: the challenge of renewable energy sources 
Abstract:
  The issue of energy production is assuming an ever more pivotal role in
 the most recent international debate on sustainable development. In
 particular, the development of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is seen as a
 great opportunity to achieve sustainability objectives and targets. This
 consideration reinforces the great debate on the active role of the local
 dimension in achieving sustainability objectives. A RES-based energy model
 implies complex re-organisation of the territory with, usually, increased
 decentralisation of energy production and consumption and the use of
 widely-diffused energy resources. This paper argues that utilisation of
 RES implies the need for careful consideration of their relationship with
 the territory and, more generally, with the local scale. The real
 commitment of the local scale in promoting RES development depends on the
 multiple possible relations that exist between renewable energy and
 socio-economic complexity, on the one hand, and ecosystem complexity, on
 the other. This paper aims to achieve three main objectives: (1) establish
 the role of the local dimension in the most recent debate on sustainable
 development; (2) illustrate how multiple relationships between RES and the
 territory may be represented; (3) verify how, through RES, the local
 dimension can actively contribute to pursuing sustainable development
 objectives.

Title: Policy integration strategy and the development of the 'green economy': foundations and implementation patterns 
Abstract:
  In several countries, the remarkable development of the 'green economy'
 in recent years has gone hand in hand with the implementation of
 strategies of integration (more or less rapid and thorough) of public
 policies linked to the environment. This policy integration strategy is
 generally a necessary condition for the encouragement and viable
 development of new environmental technologies and competitive green
 sectors. However, as emerges from the extended review of the theoretical
 and empirical literature on which this paper is based, the success of this
 policy integration strategy is based more on the design, timing, coherence
 (spatial and temporal) and the pragmatism of policies undertaken by the
 public authorities, than on the scale of the resources committed - even if
 the latter count.

Title: Sustainability and multi-level governance of territories classified as protected areas in France: the Morvan regional park case 
Abstract:
  This paper draws on recent debates on the multi-level governance of
 sustainable development to approach territories classified as protected
 areas. Based on original fieldwork carried out in the Parc naturel
 regional du Morvan, the paper examines the main governance challenges
 arising from the coexistence of natural areas and various embedded
 politico-administrative territories that have flourished in France in the
 last few decades. Considering spatio-temporal scalar articulation as a
 precondition for sustainable governance, it is argued that the mismatch
 observed between natural areas and inter-territorial institutions,
 situated at various spatial scales, incarnates a complex territorial
 mosaic whose pieces lack the necessary articulation required to foster
 sustainability.

Title: Traditional knowledge and biocultural diversity: learning from tribal communities for sustainable development in northeast India 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a synthesis of grassroots activities designed to
 promote the learning and conservation of traditional knowledge and related
 biocultural resources among Adi, Monpa and Khasi tribes of northeast
 India. The results indicate that the participation of knowledge holders in
 various village level activities can enhance the promotion of traditional
 practices, learning of knowledge and conservation of related resources.
 Knowledge holders of varying age groups and social systems have many
 notable traditional practices that provide promising solutions to current
 challenges. The promotion of traditional knowledge-based products can also
 facilitate the conservation of resources and the subsistence survival of
 people. Strong multi-level networks between all stakeholders are needed to
 ensure the sustainability of traditional knowledge and conservation of
 biocultural resources of communities of northeast India.

Title: Contrasting the core beliefs regarding the effective implementation of wind power. An international study of stakeholder perspectives 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses patterns in beliefs about the implementation of wind
 power as part of a geographical comparison of onshore wind power
 developments in the Netherlands, North-Rhine Westphalia and England. Q
 methodology is applied, in order to systematically compare the patterns in
 stakeholder views on the institutional conditions and changes in the
 domains of energy policy, spatial planning and environmental policy. Three
 factors represent support for wind power implementation from fundamentally
 different perspectives. The fourth perspective is critical opposed to wind
 power developments as well as critical to the manner in which wind
 projects are proposed, planned and implemented. These four perspectives
 exist across the geographical cases; however, some perspectives are
 prominent in one case and marginal in another. This relates to different
 legacies and varying implementation achievements in the three cases. The
 analysis shows that an approach that focuses on implementing as much wind
 power as possible, relying on technocratic reasoning and hierarchical
 policies is in practice the least successful, whereas collaborative
 perspectives with more emphasis on local issues and less on the interests
 of the conventional energy sector were particularly dominant in the most
 successful case, North-Rhine Westphalia.

Title: Enhancing consultation practices on Air Quality Management in local authorities 
Abstract:
  Schedule 11 of the Environment Act 1995 underpins the requirement for
 consultation on air quality issues. The ongoing air quality review and
 assessment process represents one of the largest locally based science
 policy and communication initiatives ever undertaken in the UK. This paper
 outlines the practice of consultation and communication for Air Quality
 Management (AQM) and reviews the interaction between Environmental Health
 professionals, as the leading actor in the AQM process and other
 stakeholders involved in air quality consultation, including the public.
 Results are presented from a widespread questionnaire survey of English
 local authorities. Data indicate that the majority of air quality
 consultation has been carried out with statutory consultees (by sending
 the review and assessment reports) and the public (via websites and
 leaflets) in the form of information dissemination.

Title: Sustainable development in the Spanish region of Valencia and the social responsibility of SMEs. A multi-stakeholder vision on the role of public administrations 
Abstract:
  The complexity associated with the public and private management of
 sustainable development is causing the increasing involvement of various
 European Union governments in issues related to the social responsibility
 of organisations. However, the debate about the nature of this involvement
 is still open. The study here shows the results of a survey conducted in
 the Spanish region of Valencia among businesses and social agents, paying
 special attention to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Small and
 Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The outcomes of the interviews display the
 nascent state of CSR implementation both in the companies of the region
 and the government initiatives related to encouraging the development of
 the concept.

Title: Comparing two sets of forest cover change knowledge used in forest landscape management planning 
Abstract:
  Forecasts of future resource states are central to resource management
 planning. Many simulation models and planning tools are used to produce
 such forecasts and apply knowledge of resource change dynamics as key
 input. Consistency among knowledge sources is therefore important to avoid
 knowledge ambiguity and uncertainty in resource forecasts and management
 plan outcomes. Using Ontario's boreal forest landscape as a case study,
 this paper examined two knowledge sources of forest resource change,
 practitioner expertise and research studies, commonly applied in plans and
 policies for large forest landscapes. The two knowledge sources were
 quantitatively compared by constructing networks of forest cover change
 for both sources and determining their agreement in structure and
 transition times. Some networks agreed well, indicating little knowledge
 ambiguity and comparatively low uncertainty if they were used to forecast
 forest landscapes. Other networks showed low agreement, thus indicating
 higher knowledge ambiguity and a dilemma of choice for forest landscape
 planners who may have to select from these knowledge sets. It is suggested
 that knowledge disagreements may be widespread in knowledge-driven
 management planning of many natural resource types and their causes
 similar. These disagreements signal areas of knowledge uncertainty, where
 resource planners must address resulting uncertainty of management
 outcomes and research should focus on improving resource change knowledge.

Title: Evaluation of the vulnerability to contamination of drinking water systems for rural regions in Quebec, Canada 
Abstract:
  The aim of this paper is to describe a method for evaluating the
 vulnerability of drinking water systems to contamination, in particular in
 rural regions used intensively for agriculture. To do so, various
 indicators were developed to represent the source to tap multi-barrier
 approach for drinking water safety. These indicators correspond to four
 barriers: source susceptibility to contamination; water treatment
 efficiency; distribution system management; and, overall management of
 water quality. The indicators were classified, regrouped and weighted
 within a model based on a multi-criteria analysis. The method was
 developed and applied to 39 municipal water systems of rural Quebec,
 Canada. The model obtained can be used for planning purposes to prioritise
 water systems requiring improvements.

Title: Shifting paths to conservation: policy change discourses and the 2008 US farm bill 
Abstract:
  From 2004 until 2006, reform of US agricultural subsidy programmes seemed
 a likely result of pressure from the World Trade Organization. Many groups
 saw this pressure as an opportunity to 'green' farm policy by crafting
 environmental service payments that could replace crop subsidies. Yet the
 2008 US farm bill fell short of such drastic changes. This paper uses
 discourse analysis to trace the decline of prospects for reform of the
 farm bill, and a shift to incremental policy making between 2006 and 2008.
 It finds that, in addition to political and situational factors, striking
 discursive shifts altered policy debates and outcomes to create particular
 conservation impacts. It thus argues for broader use of rhetoric theory
 and discourse analysis to assess environmental policy. Implications for
 land conservation are presented in the context of interest group tactics.

Title: A case study on project-level CO2 mitigation costs in industrialised countries: the Climate Cent Foundation in Switzerland 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses CO2 emissions reduction costs based on project data
 from the Climate Cent Foundation (CCF), a climate policy instrument in
 Switzerland. Four conclusions are drawn. First, for the projects
 investigated, the CCF on average pays &#x20ac;63/ton. Due to the Kyoto
 Protocol, the CCF buys reductions only until 2012. This cut-off increases
 reported per ton reduction costs, as the additional lifetime project costs
 are set in relation to reductions only until 2012, rather than to
 reductions realised over the whole lifetime. Lifetime reduction costs are
 &#x20ac;45/t. Second, correlation between CCF's payments and lifetime
 reduction costs per ton is low. Projects with low per ton reduction costs
 should thus be identified based on lifetime per ton reduction costs.
 Third, the wide range of project costs per ton observed casts doubts on
 the widely used identification of the merit order of reduction measures
 based on average per ton costs for technology types. Finally, the CCF
 covers only a fraction of additional reduction costs. Decisions to take
 reduction efforts thus depend on additional, non-observable and/or
 non-economic motives. Any generalisation of results has to consider that
 this analysis is based on prospective costs of a sub-sample of projects in
 Switzerland.

Title: Social learning in a policy-mandated collaboration: community wildfire protection planning in the eastern United States 
Abstract:
  Policies such as the US Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) mandate
 collaboration in planning to create benefits such as social learning and
 shared understanding among partners. However, some question the ability of
 top-down policy to foster successful local collaboration. Through in-depth
 interviews and document analysis, this paper investigates social learning
 and transformative learning in three case studies of Community Wildfire
 Protection Planning (CWPP), a policy-mandated collaboration under HFRA.
 Not all CWPP groups engaged in social learning. Those that did learned
 most about organisational priorities and values through communicative
 learning. Few participants gained new skills or knowledge through
 instrumental learning. CWPP groups had to commit to learning, but the
 design of the collaborative-mandate influenced the type of learning that
 was most likely to occur. This research suggests a potential role for
 top-down policy in setting the structural context for learning at the
 local level, but also confirms the importance of collaborative context and
 process in fostering social learning.

Title: 'A system that works for the sea'? Exploring Stakeholder Engagement in Marine Spatial Planning 
Abstract:
  This paper aims to contribute to the current debate on Marine Spatial
 Planning (MSP) by exploring the issue of stakeholder engagement. MSP is an
 emergent policy field that is subject to an increasing body of research,
 yet the role, scope and nature of participatory engagement within the
 process remains a neglected topic. This paper briefly reviews the nature
 of the 'marine problem', to which MSP is seen to be the response and
 describes the emergence of MSP policy in the UK with specific emphasis on
 participatory aspects. Drawing on the experience of terrestrial planning
 it discusses the potential benefits of stakeholder engagement in MSP and
 highlights some of the key issues that need to be taken into account when
 shaping stakeholder input into the process. It then goes on to describe
 the findings from a series of interviews with key stakeholders in the
 Irish Sea Region, which suggest that we need to develop a more critical
 and deeper understanding of how various interests frame the 'marine
 problem', and how they see their role in shaping the form of the MSP
 process. This highlights the importance of encouraging stakeholder
 involvement in MSP, the need to develop a shared vision of a 'sea
 interest'. Priorities are then set for research to support this important
 policy agenda.

Title: Transboundary governance of the Curonian Spit World Heritage Site 
Abstract:
  This study describes the governance and management structures of the
 Curonian Spit World Heritage Site, a transboundary protected area shared
 by Lithuania and the Russian Federation. Focusing on the national park
 authorities it presents the site from a local administrative perspective.
 The paper shows that due to strong state level influence and a lack of
 full stakeholder inclusion, different philosophies and priorities on both
 sides of the border challenge common management efforts and co-operation.
 Presenting the existing problems the paper points out the need for
 increased efforts at the state level as well as for the full inclusion of
 local communities to remove obstacles and foster co-operation. Hence, by
 adapting to certain environmental and transboundary governance principles,
 conflicts can be avoided and better results achieved.

Title: The importance of skillful community leaders: understanding municipal pesticide policy change in Calgary and Halifax 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on policy change under scientific uncertainty. This is
 done by exploring two case studies of Canadian pesticide policy evolution
 applied to Sabatier's 'Advocacy Coalition Framework'. 'Stakeholder' and
 'narrative policy' analyses are emphasised to understand pesticide policy
 changes in Calgary (public education without a restrictive by-law) and
 Halifax (restrictive by-law). The parallel case studies consist of
 qualitative interviews with members of pesticide policy advisory
 committees in each city and a content analysis of local newspaper
 articles. Key resources mobilised by coalitions to achieve their policy
 goals include skillful leadership, and the use by those leaders of the
 media to disseminate coalition narratives. Further, the context of policy
 change contributed to the scenarios whereby pro-by-law grassroots
 activists were particularly successful in Halifax and anti-by-law city
 employees were most influential in Calgary.

Title: Renewable natural resources from the view of oil dependent countries: the case of Turkey 
Abstract:
  Increases in oil prices induce various economic and political impacts,
 such as greater attention being given to renewable substitute
 alternatives. From this perspective, this study provides some descriptive
 statistics and univariate estimations for one of the countries that cannot
 meet its demand for petroleum. Biofuel, one of the examples of renewable
 natural resources, may have a great potential as an oil substitute. The
 major problem behind this potential is to find some relationships between
 the oil substitutes and any other related variables. The results of both
 comovements and the univariate GARCH analysis of some factors related with
 biofuel acreage may shed light on the future policy planning of the
 potential of renewable natural resources in the case of an oil dependent
 country.

Title: Objectives of public economic policy and the adaptation to climate change 
Abstract:
  Much can be learned about adaptation by applying structures and
 methodologies already used in other research fields. This study employs a
 public economic policy approach to investigate how - or if at all -
 adaptation should be supported by the public sector. Three different
 fields of adaptation activity are identified which are especially relevant
 for government intervention and the study proposes ways in which
 government intervention could be conducted. The analysis takes into
 account that developing regions are particularly vulnerable and they have
 insufficient funds to adequately adapt to climate change.

Title: LCA of the South African sugar industry 
Abstract:
  A life cycle assessment of sugar produced in South Africa evaluates the
 environmental impacts and energy consumption of the different life cycle
 phases of sugar production. The system studied includes sugar cane
 farming, fertiliser and herbicide manufacture, cane burning, sugar cane
 transportation and sugar manufacture. Inventory and impact assessment
 results show that non-renewable energy consumption is 5350 MJ per tonne of
 raw sugar produced and 40% of this is from fertiliser and herbicide
 manufacture. Reduction in the use or impact of fertiliser for cane farming
 could bring considerable savings in terms of fossil energy consumption and
 a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Title: Modelling visitor groups' intentions to displace from an urban trail: a combined stated preference and video monitoring approach 
Abstract:
  Depending on gender and activity, overcrowding and safety concerns may
 detract from urban green space use. Differences in use displacement
 intentions from a recreational trail in a forest in Vienna were
 investigated for male and female walkers as well as male and female
 dog-walkers (N&#xa0;=&#xa0;425) using an image-based stated preference
 model. The trail scenarios were depicted as digitally calibrated images
 that systematically displayed combinations of levels of crowding with
 different mixes of user types and visitor behaviour. Visitors were asked
 whether the presented recreation scenario was so unacceptable that they
 would shift their use away from the presented trail. Hours and days of
 stated non-use of the recreation trail by various user groups are
 estimated by integrating the results of the behavioural model with annual
 visitation data. Use displacement intentions differed by gender and
 activity. High use levels were a greater concern for all respondents than
 very low use levels, particularly for female dog-walkers. However, only a
 small proportion of the recorded hours were heavily used. Safety concerns
 about very low use levels reduced the potential times of forest use for
 female walkers without a dog.

Title: Remotely engaged? Towards a framework for monitoring the success of stakeholder engagement in remote regions 
Abstract:
  The importance of stakeholder engagement for the success of natural
 resources management processes is widely acknowledged, yet evaluation
 frameworks employed by administrators of environmental programmes continue
 to provide limited recognition of or insistence upon engagement processes.
 This paper presents a framework for monitoring and evaluation of
 engagement that aims to better incorporate community engagement into
 mainstream environmental programmes, in particular in remote regions such
 as arid and desert regions of the world. It is argued that successful
 monitoring of engagement should not only comprise a generic set of
 indicators but rather, in addition to the principles of good monitoring
 practice, should take into account a variety of the stakeholder interests
 as well as key regional drivers, addressing them at right geographic,
 institutional and time scale.

Title: Traditional pastoralist decision-making processes: lessons for reforms to water resources management in Kenya 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this paper is to consider the vision for public
 participation in water resources management embedded in Kenya's 2002 Water
 Act, as it relates to pastoralists. The Act envisions that responsibility
 for management of water resources at the local level will be devolved to
 community-level bodies. Our approach was qualitative and included
 interviews with government officials and Gabra pastoralists, observation
 of and participation in traditional Gabra korra meetings and focus group
 discussions. We conclude that the 'institutional model' of participation
 being pursued through the creation of Water Resource User Associations is
 particularly problematic for mobile pastoralists such as the Gabra, and we
 suggest an alternative strategy that would focus on the fostering of
 deliberation processes.

Title: A GIS-based technique for linking landscape characteristics to non-point source nitrogen export potential: implications for contributing areas management 
Abstract:
  A Nitrate-N Leaching Index (NLI) is calculated and the results indicate
 that nitrogen loss in the study area occurs through both leaching and
 surface runoff. A non-linear regression model of trapping efficiency was
 combined with a first order decay model to examine the impact of soil
 characteristics, slope, vegetative cover, land use and distance to streams
 on the spatial pattern of non-point source nitrogen inputs to streams. The
 model evaluates the statistical significance of each landscape factor and
 provides an easy interpretation of the landscape delivery ratio of
 nitrogen based on a pixel-based characterisation of the watershed. The
 model was validated by comparing the distributions of the observed and
 estimated monthly nitrogen concentrations. The exploratory GIS-based
 method presented here can improve the understanding of the impact of
 landscape characteristics on nitrate-nitrogen contributing areas and
 therefore assist watershed management efforts.

Title: The influence of a voluntary fee in the consumption of plastic bags on supermarkets from Madeira Island (Portugal) 
Abstract:
  Since 2007, some supermarkets in Portugal have voluntarily abolished the
 free distribution of plastic bags, implementing a symbolic charge of
 &#x20ac;0.02 each at the same time that others still offer free plastic
 bags. This study assesses the influence of this voluntary measure on the
 reduction of plastic bags consumption, comparing clients from supermarkets
 that have adopted it with others who have free distribution. The
 reutilisation of bags reached 37% in supermarkets where customers pay a
 fee and was absent in supermarkets where plastic bags are free. Even the
 abstention of using bags, when clients buy only few products, is
 significantly higher in supermarkets where there are charges for plastic
 bags. The 2 cents charged has also induced a significant increase in
 optimal use of plastic bags since 52% of clients that pay for plastic bags
 use them so they are almost full, but only 17% do the same when they are
 free. Taken together, the different effects of charging for plastic bags
 represents a potential reduction of 64%. A mandatory tax on plastic bags
 is an important measure to reduce substantially the number of plastic bags
 consumed and to improve sustainability through the reduction of
 environmental, economic and social costs of pollution and waste
 management.

Title: Does intensity of change matter? Factors affecting adoption of agri-environmental schemes in Spain 
Abstract:
  Agri-environmental schemes (AES) are the main policy instrument currently
 available in the EU to promote environmentally-friendly farming practices.
 However, the rate of adoption of these measures is still relatively low in
 southern Europe, and understanding how these rates can be increased is
 still an open issue. The goal of this paper is to increase that
 understanding by testing whether the factors which determine AES sign-up
 decisions are influenced by the intensity of change in farming practices
 that are brought about by adopting the scheme. A micro-economic model
 reflecting farmer AES sign-up decisions is proposed and applied to two
 schemes in Spain respectively requiring major or minor intensity of change
 in practices by surveying farmers eligible for both schemes. The results
 show that farm structural factors play a role when major practice change
 is required by the scheme, yet when dealing with minor change, individual
 farmer characteristics play a more determining role. Social capital and
 farmer attitude are important factors in both the AES surveyed. Therefore,
 it may be concluded that improving agronomic design would be an important
 tool to improve farmer participation in AES where major change is
 involved, whereas improved targeting and extension would help uptake for
 AES involving a lesser degree of change.

Title: Impact assessment of a hydroelectric project on the flora in the Western Himalayan region based on vegetation analysis and socio-economic studies 
Abstract:
  This study provides an overview of the impacts of a proposed
 hydroelectric power project in the Western Himalayan region in India,
 using a primary database on floristic diversity and vegetation analysis.
 The remote sensing data revealed that in the submergence zone only mixed
 deciduous forest that occupies 807.5&#xa0;ha area and has a wood biomass
 volume of 4,027,503&#xa0;m3 is likely to be lost due to impoundment. A
 total of 165 plant species found in the submergence zone also occur in the
 influence and free draining catchment area of the project. In the
 influence zone of the project area only one tree species (Acer oblongum)
 is found under conservation threat category, which is also present in the
 free draining catchment of the project. The project affected population
 (6716 people) residing in the submergence and influence zone depend upon
 the surrounding forests for fuel wood, fodder, wild edibles etc., and most
 likely they will settle in the nearby areas, thus mounting more pressure
 on residual forests of the influence zone for various forest products.
 Further, from the vegetation analysis it is evident that several tree
 species (e.g. Lannea coromandelica, Terminalia alata, T. bellerica etc.),
 may face more pressure from exploitation as they provide a number of
 useful products and are represented in lower numbers in the forests of the
 project area. To compensate for the loss of various goods and services
 provided by the forests falling in the submergence zone and to offset the
 increased pressure of the project affected families on the forests of
 influence zone, a biodiversity management plan is suggested incorporating
 socio-economic considerations.

Title: Increasing the public benefits of agricultural conservation easements: an illustration with the Central Valley Farmland Trust in the San Joaquin Valley 
Abstract:
  Agricultural conservation easements (ACEs) involve the significant
 expenditure of public funds through either tax benefits and/or direct
 public expenditures. The selection of agricultural parcels for
 conservation should, therefore, maximise net public benefits to the extent
 possible within financial constraints and the need for agricultural
 viability to maintain working landscapes. Some programmes select
 agricultural parcels for conservation easements based only on agricultural
 viability and/or land cost, however, without explicit consideration of the
 many other public benefits often associated with ACEs. This paper
 illustrates application of a method for increasing the public benefits of
 agricultural conservation easements through a case study in the northern
 San Joaquin Valley of California. The method is a strategic planning
 process that incorporates both a GIS-based quantitative assessment and a
 more qualitative assessment. Such an approach is a supplement to - rather
 than a substitute for - the more science-based Landscape Evaluation and
 Site Evaluation (LESA) approach developed by the US Soil Conservation
 Service (SCS) and cost-minimisation approaches that emphasise economic
 considerations. However, we show that public land use planning and
 regulatory policies are essential for agricultural conservation.
 Acquisition strategies in isolation will not be successful without
 complementary public regulatory policies.

Title: Village pubs as a social propellant in rural areas: an econometric study 
Abstract:
  There is no place like England to witness the role of pubs as a social
 networking hotspot. Social networks lie at the foundations of most of the
 social and economic interactions of individuals. The aim of this paper is
 to assess the importance of pubs as natural locations for the development
 of social networks and how their presence affects the socio-economic
 activity of a given area or region. The econometric analysis conducted on
 rural parishes in Cumbria, a peripheral county in Northern England,
 reveals that village pubs have a positive influence on the socio-economic
 activity of local communities.

Title: Factors affecting energy saving behaviour: a prospective research 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this study is to outline the theme of saving energy
 resources and its relationship with the preservation of the environment,
 as well as the importance of green marketing in achieving sustainability.
 The model of data collection was a survey conducted by self-administered
 questionnaire. After collection, the data were statistically analysed and
 interpreted. Most individuals claim to be concerned about environmental
 problems, with 68% of these belonging to the 'Savers' group. However, even
 though they may be concerned with environmental problems, the vast
 majority of individuals do not have any system of renewable energy in
 their homes, despite claiming that renewable energies are a viable option
 for protecting the environment. Women display behaviour that is more
 favourable to the saving of energy resources than do men. Educational
 levels are not significant for distinguishing the more pro-environmental
 individuals from the others.

Title: Bivariate cointegration between poverty and environment: a case study of Pakistan (1980-2009) 
Abstract:
  The objective of this paper is to empirically investigate a two-way
 statistical relationship between the agriculture environment and rural
 poverty. To recognise the relationship between the two variables, a time
 series, co-integration and Granger causality tests have been employed.
 Secondary data pertaining to Pakistan from 1980-2009 on rural poverty and
 environmental factors (such as commercial energy consumption, water
 availability and total cropped area) have been used for the analysis. The
 empirical results only moderately support the conventional view that rural
 poverty has a significant long-term casual effect on environmental proxies
 in Pakistan. The present study finds evidence of uni-directional causality
 between poverty and the environment in the context of the agriculture
 sector in Pakistan.

Title: The importance of context for effective public engagement: learning from the governance of waste 
Abstract:
  This paper takes a new look at the importance of context - institutional
 and political - in effective public engagement processes. It does so
 through a rare comparative opportunity to examine the effectiveness of
 processes of public engagement in two UK waste authorities, where the same
 waste company was involved as both the primary contractor for the delivery
 of the waste management service (including new energy-from-waste
 facilities) and, furthermore, the same staff delivered the public
 engagement. Interrogating these cases affords the opportunity to place
 flesh on the bones of the sometimes 'abstract' skeleton of context. While
 engagement processes support effective local governance in an era of
 partnerships and deliberative democracy, the paper identifies that the
 methods adopted cannot be played out devoid of detailed understanding and
 response to local context, including the strength of partnership working
 between the public and private sector, the degree of political support for
 engagement, and the extent to which a traditional institutional
 paternalism still dominates.

Title: A multi-agent simulation model for spatial optimisation of manure allocation 
Abstract:
  The EU Nitrate Directive has spurred many countries to regulate manure
 production and manure application. Farmers have three allocation options:
 spreading manure on their own land, transporting manure to other farmers'
 land or processing manure. The manure problem can be seen as an allocation
 problem. To better understand this allocation problem, we have developed
 the spatial mathematical programming multi-agent simulation (MP-MAS)
 model. This model has been applied in Flanders, Belgium, a region with a
 high concentration of livestock. The model evaluates the cost efficiency
 of policy intervention in the manure market through obliged processing. We
 propose to further optimise the policy using a regionally differentiated
 manure pressure indicator, which is directly derived from the dual outcome
 of the mathematical programme. This indicator increases transparency in
 the manure and processing market, leading to better decision support about
 location and type of manure processing.

Title: Valuing lagoons using a meta-analytical approach: methodological and practical issues 
Abstract:
  Lagoons are naturally complex ecosystems whose dynamics are strongly
 influenced by anthropic factors. Therefore, their value depends not only
 on their characteristics but also on the nature of the interactions,
 whether positive or negative, between mankind and nature. Starting from a
 representative set of 31 original studies exclusively devoted to coastal
 lagoons valuation, we estimate a meta-analytic function of value transfer.
 Using a resampling technique, we then determine a transfer value and find
 a mean transfer error of 87% and a median error equal to 24%, between the
 predicted value and the original ones. This raises the problem of
 divergences between individual valuations for natural assets.

Title: The greening of Chicago: environmental leaders and organisational learning in the transition toward a sustainable metropolitan region 
Abstract:
  Urban sustainability literature calls for new governance relations to
 support green urban agendas. Privileging non-hierarchical relations, this
 literature fails to address the means by which organisations create these
 capacities. The author interviewed public, private and community
 environmental leaders in metropolitan Chicago regarding their disposition
 toward creating boundary spanning organisations (BSOs) in addressing the
 City's Environmental Action Agenda. Their responses reflect engaged
 efforts to enhance cross-boundary sharing of information, resources, and
 power. However, they also reflect the decisive role of central authority
 in initiating this process. These findings suggest the complexity of urban
 governance in transitions toward sustainability and the opportunities they
 provide to explore the implications of on-the-ground practice.

Title: An economic and environmental assessment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) power plants: a case study for the City of Kiel 
Abstract:
  In the not too distant future several power plants throughout Europe will

 coal-fired power plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS). In a study

 plant reaches a required minimum for rentability. This study looks at an
 additional economic and environmental evaluation of a coal plant with CCS.
 We find that in two out of three carbon and energy price scenarios
 integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants with CCS have the
 greatest rentability. Pulverised coal (PC) plants with CCS can only
 compete with other options under very favourable assumptions. Life-cycle
 emissions from CCS are less than 70% of a coal plant - compared with at
 least more than 80% when only considering direct emissions from plants.
 However, life-cycle emissions are lower than in any other assessed option.

Title: Landscape valuation and planning 
Abstract:
  Landscape provides amenities and supports recreational, residential and
 productive activities. It appears both as an economic resource and as a
 local public good. Landscape economics uses both public economics and
 spatial economics concepts, but draws some specificity due to the social
 and cultural dimensions of landscapes. Moreover, it emphasises the role of
 the enforcement of property rights' devices on landscape dynamics. The
 latter is crucial for policy makers who have to deal with various topics
 such as urban sprawl, agriculture policy, territorial governance and local
 development. This editorial provides a concise introduction to the
 economic analysis of landscapes and the main research issues in this
 field. It thus establishes some background for the seven papers that make
 up this special issue on landscape valuation and planning.

Title: Developing environmental policy indicators by criteria - indicators on the public goods of the Swedish agricultural landscape 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a methodology for developing state indicators,
 reflecting the provision of environmental public goods from agricultural
 landscapes. The methodology involves a structured use of meta-criteria and
 criteria for developing indicator variables and indicators, along with a
 coherent set of indicators. These indicators are aimed at providing a
 basis for determining agri-environmental payments to farmers. They are
 estimated at the object level, that is, per field or field element, so
 payments can be set that lead to an efficient resource allocation,
 structure of incentives and production. We find that, according to the
 criteria assessments for the Swedish agri-environmental situation, it is
 best to use a set of seven composite indicators on arable fields,
 permanent grasslands, linear elements, point elements, forest edges,
 bio-rich trees and relics. By estimating the indicators in two case study
 areas, we show that environmental services vary considerably between
 objects, indicating that value-differentiated payments may work as an
 efficient instrument in practical policy making.

Title: Valuing public goods of the agricultural landscape: a choice experiment using reference points to capture observable heterogeneity 
Abstract:
  The willingness to pay (WTP) for different types of elements and other
 environmental qualities of the agricultural landscape were investigated by
 a choice experiment study. To get value measures of a set of attributes as
 policy relevant as possible, the WTP for 28 levels of 12 attributes was
 estimated. Two survey versions concerned permanent grassland and two
 concerned field elements of cultivated land. A sample of 8000 randomly
 selected Swedish inhabitants was used. The estimated values vary
 significantly between linear field elements and grassland types, where
 stone walls and oak-wooded pastures, respectively have the highest
 marginal WTP. Highly valued environmental qualities are biodiversity,
 visibility and absence of brushwood. Reference points were included to
 capture preference heterogeneity. The study cannot reject that respondents
 may value environmental service levels based on their reference points.

Title: Comparing tourists' behaviour and values of land use changes: a focus on ranch land open space in Colorado 
Abstract:
  Scenic landscapes demonstrate public good attributes and will be
 undervalued in the market. This research compares estimates of tourists'
 non-consumptive use values of ranch land open space in Routt County,
 Colorado from contingent valuation and contingent behaviour methods. If
 ranch lands are converted to urban uses, the decrease in value of trips
 estimated using the contingent valuation method is 75% or $108 per trip
 day. The predicted decrease of three trip days per visitor represents a
 32% reduction in visitor days. A substantial loss in value results from
 the conversion of ranch lands to urban uses employing either estimation
 method.

Title: Values of environmental landscape amenities during the 2000-2006 real estate boom and subsequent 2008 recession 
Abstract:
  This research suggests that consumers' marginal willingness to pay for
 environmental landscape attributes, such as water view, developed open
 space and forest-land open space, decreased during the 2008 recession
 compared to the 2000-2006 real estate boom. Estimates were obtained from a
 spatial hedonic housing price model after controlling for household
 location patterns and structural differences between the periods. Because
 the decline in amenity values was probably due to a temporary
 deterioration in economic conditions, the amenity values will probably
 rebound with economic recovery. Thus, development decisions based on the
 lower estimated amenity values measured during a temporary deterioration
 in economic conditions may be determined suboptimal post-economic
 recovery.

Title: Valuation of agricultural land-use scenarios with choice experiments: a political market share approach 
Abstract:
  This paper evaluates the preferences of cantonal politicians for future
 agricultural land-use scenarios in a rural region of the Swiss lowlands.
 We combine results from a choice experiment with the outcome of a
 mathematical programming model. As a result, we define cost-efficient
 future land-use scenarios which would find acceptance in the cantonal
 parliament. Our study indicates that the level of agricultural production
 associated with the extent of environmental goods and services in these
 land-use scenarios is a crucial issue in the political acceptance and thus
 in the design of green payments for agriculture.

Title: Analysing the maintenance and establishment of orchard meadows at farm and landscape levels applying a spatially explicit integrated modelling approach 
Abstract:
  Landscape elements can enhance the ecological and social value of
 agricultural landscapes. Orchard meadows are traditional landscape
 elements in Central Europe, but have deteriorated for decades due to their
 adverse economic effects. We apply an integrated modelling framework to
 assess the farm profitability of orchard meadows as well as the
 effectiveness of measures in the Austrian agri-environmental programme to
 maintain existing and establish new sites. The model results indicate that
 current market prices for fruits and harvest productivity levels are not
 sufficient to support the maintenance of existing sites. The model results
 also indicate that the agri-environmental measures are effective in
 maintaining orchard meadows, but are insufficient to make all existing
 sites profitable or support further establishments. Consequently,
 alternative policy options will aim at increasing harvest efficiencies
 (e.g. harvest mechanisation co-operatives), at adding value to orchard
 fruits (e.g. fruit processing options), and at reducing labour costs by
 improving seasonal labour availability.

Title: Urban sprawl and policy responses: a general equilibrium analysis of residential choice 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the driving forces for residential location choice of
 households in an urban area. To analyse the integrated choice of residence
 and of commuting, we extend a computable general equilibrium model of the
 core-periphery type for interregional housing market interactions and for
 effects on environmental quality. In the empirical part of the paper, we
 solve the model for a stylised urban centre and its surroundings, where
 urban sprawl leads to detrimental environmental effects. To internalise
 transport emissions, we compare the effects of a congestion fee and a
 spatial planning instrument. While both instruments reduce urban sprawl,
 they do so through different channels. Moreover, both policies lead to
 desirable environmental effects for the overall region, yet with different
 environmental impacts per region.

Title: Conservation and recreational values from semi-natural grasslands for visitors to two Italian parks 
Abstract:
  According to integrated natural resources management, interrelated
 resources have to be managed by maintaining their environmental quality,
 and visitors are stakeholders who have to be involved in natural park
 management decisions. In this paper we simultaneously examine the
 conservation and recreational values from grasslands for visitors to two
 Italian Regional Parks. A contingent valuation survey was carried out in
 2007 for estimating non-use benefits to visitors from a grasslands
 conservation project in these parks. Two scenarios were considered: the
 present landscape composed of grasslands and forests, and a hypothetical
 scenario of forests without grasslands. Respondents were asked the quality
 rating of the parks as places for recreational activities, and their
 willingness to donate (WTD) per year to a project for maintaining the
 status quo. Results show that the majority of respondents give a high
 rating to these parks, are in favour of the project implementation, and
 willing to donate mainly for the benefit of future generations. Among the
 WTD determinants, by estimating a Tobit model and a two-stage model,
 giving a high quality rating to the park for recreational activities
 corresponds to a higher WTD for grassland conservation. This seems to
 suggest that the recreational motivation tends to coincide with the need
 to conserve habitats and biodiversity, and that the decision maker should
 pay specific attention to the maintenance of the quality of the
 recreational activities as well as the maintenance of a diversified
 landscape in these parks.

Title: Assessment of legal framework for corporate environmental behaviour and perceptions of residents in mining communities in Ghana 
Abstract:
  The paper examines the laws and policies that regulate corporate
 environmental practices in Ghana, with an emphasis on mining. In
 particular, the analysis of the legal and regulatory framework examines
 the extent to which it meets international best practices and standards of
 corporate conduct and the extent to which self-regulatory mechanisms are
 accommodated under the framework. This was accomplished through reviews of
 mining and water related Acts, laws and relevant Statutes on corporate
 environmental practices in Ghana. Ethnographic qualitative research was
 carried out and key tools utilised included participant observations,
 focus group discussions and interviews. Interview data captured community
 members' perceptions on impacts of mining in 12 host communities. Key
 findings indicate that most respondents have negative perceptions about
 the socio-economic and environmental impacts of mining and where corporate
 environmental governance codes exist, enforcement mechanisms are not very
 well laid out, a situation which reflects weak regulatory institutions in
 the mining sector. Further, the legal and regulatory regime for
 environmental governance has failed to come up to international best
 practices. While government has an important role to play in the area of
 providing the legal framework for enhancing best practice standards in
 corporate environmental governance, it appears that the ultimate
 responsibility for sound environmental behaviour still lies with
 corporations themselves.

Title: Impacts of boating trip limitations on the recreational value of the Spreewald wetland: a pooled revealed/contingent behaviour application of the travel cost method 
Abstract:
  Few studies have been conducted to date on the importance of water
 availability (in-stream flows, water levels) for demand for a recreation
 site in Europe. In this paper we combine data on actual trips taken to a
 site (revealed behaviour) with data on anticipated trips that are stated
 as a response to hypothetical scenarios constructed for survey respondents
 (contingent behaviour). We combine these two sources of data in order to
 assess whether, and to what extent, the maintenance of minimum in-stream
 flows for boating matter in demand for trips to a wetland recreation site.
 The data from the on-site survey are used to estimate an aggregate count
 data travel cost model. Our findings indicate that variations in
 navigability significantly affect demand and associated welfare measures.

Title: Urban wind power and the private sector: community benefits, social acceptance and public engagement 
Abstract:
  Given the ambitious government targets for renewable energy generation in
 the UK, there has been a push by government and industry towards various
 types and scales of Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs). This paper
 explores the implications of commercial urban wind projects for local
 communities, drawing on a case study of proposals by ASDA to construct
 wind turbines in two semi-urban locations in the UK. The paper argues that
 community responses to the proposals were complex and varied and could not
 adequately be encapsulated by 'nimby' (not in my back yard) assignations.
 It concludes that while ASDA followed a process of consulting local
 people, this process highlighted the problems of the 'business as usual'
 approach to public engagement employed by ASDA, and assumptions made about
 public acceptance of RETs.

Title: Managing household waste in Ireland: behavioural parameters and policy options 
Abstract:
  Formulating efficient waste management policy requires data on market
 conditions. Data on household waste management behaviour in Ireland is
 scarce, and policy making could benefit from improved data and market
 analysis. In this paper we estimate models of household waste management
 behaviour in Ireland using econometrics and simple comparison of average
 effects, but we find that some important parameters cannot be obtained
 robustly using existing aggregate data. Drawing upon international
 literature in order to complete our assumptions, we apply a simulation
 model to illustrate the likely effects of some current policy options. We
 show that increases in the landfill levy are likely to have little effect
 on household behaviour if pay-by-use tariffs are not fully implemented,
 and we find that while introducing additional bins for segregated
 compostable waste may divert significant quantities of such waste, they
 are more effective in cities than in rural areas. We also highlight key
 shortcomings of the available data.

Title: The value of the trout fishery at Rhodes, North Eastern Cape, South Africa: a travel cost analysis using count data models 
Abstract:
  Recent government legislation in South Africa (the National Environmental
 Management: Biodiversity Act, No.10 of 2004) calls for the removal of
 trout from ecosystems and habitats where they may cause harm. The
 elimination of trout would, however, undermine the tourism appeal of many
 upper catchments in South Africa to recreational fishers. This paper
 reports the first formal recreational valuation of a trout fishery in
 South Africa - the one in and around Rhodes village, North Eastern Cape.
 The valuation is carried out by applying the individual travel cost method
 using several count data models. The zero truncated negative binomial
 model which allows for the non-negative integer nature of the trip data,
 for truncation as well as for over-dispersion, found that the consumer
 surplus per day and per trip to the Rhodes trout fishery was ZAR2 668
 (US$334) and ZAR13,072 (US$1634), respectively in the year 2007, and the
 total consumer surplus generated was ZAR18,026,288 (US$2 253,286).

Title: Research-supported participatory planning for water stress mitigation 
Abstract:
  With multi-stakeholder issues such as climate change or population growth
 providing significant challenges for water managers, participatory
 approaches to planning and management are becoming increasingly popular.
 To aid water stress mitigation in Bulgaria's Iskar region, a participatory
 process with a broad range of stakeholders was designed and tested.
 Options adapted for the region such as risk management and industrial and
 domestic water conservation were studied. The results suggest that strong
 research support is needed to adapt participatory management theories into
 operational planning processes. Definition of appropriate working groups
 with clear roles and responsibilities are also needed to ensure effective
 implementation.

Title: The contemporary paradox of long-term planning for social-ecological change and its effects on the discourse-practice divide: evidence from Southern Africa 
Abstract:
  The Maloti-Drakensberg Transfrontier Project between South Africa and
 Lesotho aims to bring about positive social-ecological change in and
 around the Maloti-Drakensberg mountain ecosystem. To this effect, the
 project has developed a long-term planning strategy that has to
 co-ordinate all involved actors - and their actions - until 2028. The
 paper describes and analyses the run-up to the strategy. By combining
 critical 'outside' research with practical 'inside' experience, the paper
 argues that governing contemporary social-ecological change is severely
 challenged by two main fundamental paradoxes: the fuelling of short-term
 dynamics by neoliberal pressures on interventions; and related to this, an
 increasing gap between discourse and practice. In turn, we argue that
 these challenges manifested particularly in pressures of
 'all-inclusiveness', the relation between natural and social scientists
 and issues of 'selection' and 'sidetracking'. We conclude that combining
 'critical outside' and 'practical inside' experiences can open up spaces
 for engaging these challenges.

Title: From carfree to carfull: the environmental and health impacts of increasing private motorisation in Albania 
Abstract:
  This paper reviews the environmental and health impacts of private
 motorisation in Albania since the fall of communism and the failures of
 the public sector to effectively control these impacts. The paper focuses
 on the capital, Tirana, which has almost one-third of the national
 population, most of the national wealth, twice the rate of car ownership
 in the rest of the country, and the bulk of the adverse impacts related to
 motorisation.

Title: Context dependency and stakeholder involvement in EIA: the decisive role of practitioners 
Abstract:
  The outcomes of frameworks and practices for stakeholder involvement in
 environmental impact assessment (EIA) for road planning, under the
 umbrella of a common EU legal framework, are investigated here in specific
 national contexts. Data for the two empirical cases examined - Poland and
 Sweden - are related to the recent ongoing discussion on context
 dependency for Environmental Assessments (EA). The analysis, informed by
 practitioner interviews and documentary review, comprises a historical
 review of the evolution of EIA and stakeholder involvement, and examines
 more closely the legal frameworks, formal and informal arenas for
 stakeholder involvement, and norms of stakeholder involvement held by
 professionals involved in the planning process in the two countries. The
 results challenge existing assumptions about the relative depth of
 institutionalisation of stakeholder involvement and environmental concern
 in a Scandinavian and Central-Eastern European context, and highlight the
 decisive role of practitioners in the application of EA frameworks in
 planning practice.

Title: Environmental and socio-economic factors in carbon offsets: an approach to sustainable management and planning in climate change strategy 
Abstract:
  In 1997 the European Commission presented a communication to clarify the
 link between environmental strategy and job creation, and the Kyoto
 Protocol was also negotiated during that year. While it may be considered
 that implementation of the protocol has contributed to environmental and
 socio-economic phases in the response to climate change, the method of
 accounting for carbon offsets is ambiguous and uncertain from the
 management viewpoint. In addition, from the planning viewpoint there is
 doubt as to how to realise a low-carbon society without any socio-economic
 burden. Since it is important to know the real value of carbon offsets
 when considering the environment for future generations, it is necessary
 to prepare a management tool to accurately account for carbon offsets. The
 identification of the effects of climate change will be a key to properly
 planning global-scale projects, and financial options will depend upon how
 greenhouse gases are categorised (pollution or a global warming threat).
 Categorisation should therefore be considered carefully.

Title: Does question order influence sensitivity to scope? Empirical findings from a web-based contingent valuation study 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the relationship between question order and
 sensitivity to scope in a large-scale web-based stated preference survey
 using an Internet panel. Results are presented from a contingent valuation
 survey in which each individual was asked to value two independent gains
 in life expectancy. Using split-sample data for question order we are able
 to study sensitivity to scope by carrying out an internal as well as an
 external scope test, and to examine whether question order influences
 sensitivity to scope. Finally, we address whether our results raise some
 specific concerns regarding the use of web-based surveys. Overall we find
 that choice of elicitation approach - in this case bottom-up versus
 top-down - influences the stated willingness-to-pay values leading to
 order effects and differences in scope sensitivity. Our findings
 demonstrate that elicitation approach affects the decision-making
 strategy, suggesting that preferences at least to some extent are
 reference dependent and constructed during the elicitation task. In
 addition, our findings indicate some relation between scope insensitivity,
 time spent on filling out the questionnaire and experience as an Internet
 panel member.

Title: Re-scaling of resource governance as institutional change: the case of water governance in Portugal 
Abstract:
  The paper complements work on the re-scaling of resource governance by
 developing a theoretical understanding based on the distributional theory
 of institutional change, and by examining the case of water governance in
 Portugal. Different from the reactions of other European Member States to
 the Water Framework Directive, the central water authority and
 multi-sectoral deconcentrated administrations lost competencies in favour
 of new water administrations. The level of water governance shifted from
 administrative districts to hydrographic regions. Significant players in
 this process were the central state and the Minister of the Environment.
 Our explanation considers time preferences, mental models, credibility and
 transaction and transition costs of governance, which affected the timing
 and content of the reform, and the paper compares the situation to the
 rest of Europe.

Title: Constructing the public: the 'substantive sieve' and personal norms in US Forest Service Planning 
Abstract:
  In fulfilling its public involvement requirements under the National
 Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) the US Forest Service sometimes favours
 scientific, technical or legally-based public input over comments that
 explicitly express the values or preferences of the public. We trace the
 roots of this tendency to the Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ)
 NEPA regulations and to agency planning guidelines that direct agency
 employees to address only 'substantive' or 'significant' comments. We term
 this guidance and the tendency to favour certain types of public input the
 'substantive sieve', and show how it may influence agency constructions of
 the public. We discuss the implications of our findings in the context of
 agency NEPA public involvement processes.

Title: Extractive and Sustainable Development Reserves in Brazil: resilient alternatives to fisheries? 
Abstract:
  This study uses the socio-ecological resilience concept to compare two
 categories of fisheries co-management in Brazil: Extractive and
 Sustainable Development Reserves. Ecological resilience was estimated by
 the indicators: reserve areas, human density and the existence of buffer
 zones around the reserves. Indicators for social-resilience were grouped
 in two categories: flexibility (assessed by livelihood diversification and
 resources exploited) and capacity to organize (assessed by
 local/governrnenta1 demand for reserve creation, existence of fishing
 management rules or management plans, participation in the decision-making
 process and existence of self-monitoring). Amazonian reserves are larger,
 have buffer zones and people depend on a broader range of natural
 resources compared to those on the coast. However, the inhabitants of
 coastal reserves can rely on ecotourism and jobs outside the reserves,
 which may reduce local fishing pressure. Both regions have reserves
 created using top-down initiatives as well as those created from local
 demands. Yet, participation in decision making is not necessarily related
 to the origin of demand and the level of local involvement can be limited
 in either case. Unless co-management is followed by adaptive management,
 increased local participation of people in management and the
 diversification of economic sources. its benefit to resilience is limited.

Title: A critical review of a managerial approach to 'green' community planning in the rural USA and the Netherlands 
Abstract:
  Does the contemporary managerial approach in policy support 'green'
 community planning in rural areas? This question is addressed using the
 Policy Arrangements Approach (PAA). When PAA was applied to rural policy
 in the USA and the Netherlands, we observed an increasing effect of a
 managerial approach in both countries over the last 10-15 years, including
 the use of performance contracts and evaluation tools and the promotion of
 self-sufficiency and public entrepreneurship at the community level. In
 this paper we discuss how this managerial approach affected green
 community planning in rural areas in the USA and the Netherlands.
 Community planning is analysed using four dimensions: discourse; actor
 coalitions; resources and power; and rules of the game. Our analysis
 demonstrates that the managerial approach reinforces state power and puts
 efforts to address the higher-order 'green' needs of a community at risk.
 Different approaches for creating opportunities which encourage the
 emergence of public leadership, as well as new institutional designs, are
 required.

Title: Implementation of wildfire risk management by local governments in Alberta, Canada 
Abstract:
  This study examined the implementation of wildfire mitigation by local
 governments in Alberta, Canada. Written surveys and telephone interviews
 with participants in 18 municipalities were combined with additional
 in-person interviews within two of these municipalities. Many
 participating local governments were completing emergency preparedness
 plans, infrastructure measures, education, wildfire hazard assessments on
 public and private land, and vegetation management. Few were implementing
 land-use planning and structural mitigation measures on local government
 buildings. Factors that influenced implementation of wildfire mitigation
 measures included issue advocates, communication with internal and
 external stakeholders, financial and human resources, support from higher
 levels of government, and biophysical and demographic characteristics.
 Recommendations for encouraging the implementation of wildfire mitigation
 by local governments are provided.

Title: Utilising a farmer typology to understand farmer behaviour towards water quality management: Nitrate Vulnerable Zones in Scotland 
Abstract:
  Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZ) are employed as compulsory instruments to
 meet standards on EU water quality. Farmers operating in NVZs face a
 number of restrictions on agricultural activity and a greater requirement
 for record keeping in relation to timing and quantities of nitrogen inputs
 used. This paper presents results of a survey into the attitudes and
 values of farmers within the designated Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZs) in
 Scotland. A typology based on perceptions towards water quality management
 was developed using factor and cluster analysis techniques. Three types
 were identified as 'resistors', 'apathists' and 'multifunctionalists'. The
 'resistors' and the 'multifunctionalists' had similar approaches to land
 use management, but then diverged in terms of their perceptions towards
 the environment, water management and the NVZ regulations in particular.
 The apathists were indifferent towards the aims of the regulation and to
 water quality management in general. This was also evidenced by their lack
 of uptake of voluntary measures for improving water quality. The lack of
 engagement from the 'apathists', which represent around a third of the
 responses to the survey, is particularly problematic for policy makers.
 There is a need for greater targeting of information to this farmer type
 emphasising favourable perceptions which encourage water quality
 management behaviours.

Title: A clear case of 'doublespeak': the Swedish governmental SEA implementation discourse 
Abstract:
  Discourse serves as a fundamental prerequisite for human action - as is
 displayed by the implementation in Swedish local spatial planning of the
 EU 'Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive' which forms the
 focus of this paper. The national Swedish SEA policy discourse, following
 from the EU Directive, presents a clear case of 'doublespeak'. The major
 mobilising metaphor emerging from the discourse analysis is the concept of
 efficiency backed by the pronouncement of continuity. Major benefits for
 local spatial planning are outlined while at the same time assurance is
 given that no new efforts or added costs are foreseen for the
 municipalities. The role of the SEA is downsized in relation to
 sustainable development and to the Environmental Impact Assessment of
 projects. In order to fully interrogate this debate the current paper
 combines a policy implementation approach with a discourse perspective.

Title: Three Gorges Project: effects of resettlement on nutrient balance of the agroecosystems in the reservoir area 
Abstract:
  This paper reports on the effects of human resettlement on the nutrient
 balance of the agroecosystems in Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) of
 China. The analysis used is the OECD (Organisation for Economic
 Co-operation and Development) 'Soil Surface Nitrogen Balance Model' and
 agricultural statistical data for the county level in 1985-2005. Spatial
 and temporal changes of nutrient balance and the impacts of resettlement
 on such changes were examined. The results demonstrate that rural
 resettlement has significantly increased soil surface nitrogen and
 phosphorous surplus since 2000. The structural transformation of
 agricultural activities from grain production to horticulture or forestry
 should be encouraged, and more people may need to be moved out of the TGRA
 to reduce nutrient water pollution.

Title: Acceptance, acceptability and environmental justice: the role of community benefits in wind energy development 
Abstract:
  Conflict around wind farm development has stimulated interest in
 'community benefits' - the provision of financial or material benefits by
 the developers to the area affected by these facilities. By and large,
 both policy makers and researchers have couched the rationale for
 community benefits in instrumental terms, i.e. that an increased flow of
 community benefits will improve the social acceptability of these
 facilities and thereby expedite planning consent. This paper questions
 this conventional rationale. Proponents of this rationale neglect the
 institutionally structured terrain of the planning process; the provision
 of community benefits can shift in significance depending on whether or
 not the 'affected community' has any significant influence over wind farm
 projects. Similarly, our discourse analysis conducted in Wales shows that
 community benefits are seen predominantly as compensation for impacts,
 without any clear implication that they should change social attitudes.
 Our conclusion is that the dominant, instrumental rationale for community
 benefits obscures other, equally important justifications: the role of
 community benefits in promoting environmental justice; and how flows of
 community benefits might better serve the long-term sustainability of wind
 farm development areas.

Title: Evaluating impacts of subdivision density on shallow groundwater in southeastern Wisconsin, USA 
Abstract:
  Using simple numerical groundwater flow models, we tested the impacts of
 suburban developments on groundwater levels and discharge to streams. We
 used lot sizes of 1, 3 and 5 acres (4000, 12,000 and 20,000&#xa0;m2) with
 one domestic well per lot that pumped water from shallow aquifers. Our
 modelling showed that pumping had little impact on water levels and
 groundwater discharge to streams if the developed area is of a moderate
 size. However, domestic wells had the potential to impact local
 groundwater levels and baseflows in large developments. In township-wide
 development scenarios of 1-acre (4000&#xa0;m2) lots, simulated drawdowns
 beneath developed areas ranged from 1 to 18 ft (0.3 to 5.5 m), and
 baseflow reductions ranged from 20 to 40%. Impacts generally were
 inversely proportional to lot size, recharge rate and hydraulic
 conductivity of the aquifer materials. Developments using individual
 domestic wells have the potential to impact local groundwater levels and
 surface water features. The impacts can range from negligible to severe,
 depending on local hydrogeologic conditions and on whether wastewater is
 recharged onsite or is removed from the basin. An assessment of
 groundwater impacts should be a part of the planning process for all
 suburban developments.

Title: Exploring distributional determinants of large carnivore conservation in Sweden 
Abstract:
  This paper aims to fill the gap in the literature about distributional
 impacts (who wins and who loses) of implementing new management plans for
 non-market priced environmental goods and services. The focus is on
 whether and to what extent, age, gender, presence of large carnivores and
 income affect willingness-to-pay (WTP) for increasing large carnivore
 stocks in Sweden. Our results contradict findings from previous studies on
 large carnivores in the sense that patterns change when different
 distributional dimensions are analysed together. The results indicate that
 WTP is independent of the presence of large carnivores, except for the
 group 'young men'. In general, young men are found to be a disparate
 group.

Title: Interdisciplinary collaboration within project-level NEPA teams in the US Forest Service 
Abstract:
  Interdisciplinary teamwork has become a foundation of natural resources
 planning and management in the US. Yet, we know little about the degree of
 interdisciplinary collaboration of natural resource planning teams. We
 conducted 10 case studies of Forest Service NEPA (National Environmental
 Policy Act) teams working on projects related to the 2005 Travel
 Management Rule. Although teams' critical tasks were similar, we found
 wide variation in interdisciplinary teamwork approaches. We propose three
 typologies of teamwork processes and discuss relationships between teams'
 work approaches and process outcomes. Rather than being easily labelled as
 holistically 'collaborative' or 'non-collaborative', teams may more
 typically move in and out of different modes of collaboration (or
 non-collaboration) throughout the different stages of teamwork processes.
 Results suggest that greater external pressure may lead teams to adopt a
 more internally collaborative approach and that empowering leadership
 styles may enhance the success of more collaborative approaches in terms
 of perceived outcomes. Future research on the relationships between
 extra-team context, team collaboration, and leadership styles may provide
 insight into the drivers of outcomes in natural resource planning teams.

Title: Perspectives on tradable development rights for ecosystem service protection: lessons from an Australian peri-urban region 
Abstract:
  Competition for land between agriculture and urban uses is a global
 problem. Until recently, planners and policy makers have relied on
 regulatory 'command and control' planning approaches; however, there is
 growing interest in the use of market-based instruments to address natural
 resource management issues in complex and highly contested peri-urban
 environments. Tradable development rights are one type of market-based
 instrument. While tradable development rights have been used extensively
 in the United States, their application in Australia has been limited.
 Yet, in Australia, population growth and development in peri-urban areas
 is placing extensive pressure on natural resources and productive
 agricultural lands. These pressures are particularly acute in Australia's
 fastest growing metropolitan region, South East Queensland. By using a
 case study approach we explore stakeholder perspectives on the value of
 this tool to protect peri-urban landscape values. Whilst current planner
 and stakeholder perspectives suggest there is considerable support, there
 are substantial political, institutional, knowledge, resource and
 legislative barriers that need to be overcome before this tool can be a
 viable, realistic and acceptable option for land use planning in
 peri-urban regions such as South East Queensland.

Title: The collective provision of environmental goods: a discussion of contractual issues 
Abstract:
  Although many species have a larger range than the average sized farm,
 most agri-environment schemes (AES) involve contracts with individual land
 managers. However, in the Netherlands 'collective contracts' allow
 neighbouring land managers to co-ordinate environmental management at the
 landscape rather than the farm-scale. Findings from a study of Dutch
 Environmental Co-operatives (ECs) are used to discuss how collective
 contracts for environmental goods affect the following contractual issues
 associated with AES: transaction costs, asymmetry of information, the
 'hold-up', 'end-of-contract' and 'assurance' problems and incomplete
 contracts. As a prerequisite for effective collective contracts requires
 land managers holding communal aims and interests, the techniques used by
 ECs to form like-minded groups are also reviewed. Government support for
 collective contracts can be justified because they: (1) reduce transaction
 costs; (2) improve ecological effectiveness; and (3) increase the policy
 options available. Government support for ECs can be justified (1) as
 compensation to members for the additional costs they incur co-ordinating
 group actions; (2) to assist collectives buy-in expert advice; and (3)
 because they increase participation rates by (a) helping counter the
 'hold-up', 'assurance' and 'incomplete contract' problems, and (b) by
 framing decisions in ways that shift attitudes, values and aspirations
 among members.

Title: Ex-ante institutional compatibility assessment of policy options: methodological insights from a case study on the Nitrate Directive in Auvergne, France 
Abstract:
  The Procedure for Institutional Compatibility Assessment (PICA) has been
 developed as a formalised methodology to predict the compatibility between
 a policy option and the institutional context of its implementation. As a
 first empirical test of the tool, PICA was applied to the implementation
 of the EUNitrate Directive in Auvergne, France. Valuable insights were
 acquired on thecombination of experts and stakeholders' perspectives and
 the choice of qualitative methods for the collection of the information
 needed at each step ofthe assessment. Further, this procedure proved to be
 a valuable tool for the ex-ante identification of institutional factors
 affecting the implementation of policies.

Title: Rural residential preferences for house design and location: insights from a discrete choice experiment applied to Ireland 
Abstract:
  Living in the countryside/rural areas has, in recent decades, become a
 matter of personal choice for many people. Various researchers have
 investigated people's motivations for wanting to make this move. However,
 there has been rather little investigation of the factors that cause
 people to choose one type of rural property or rural location over
 another. This paper reports on research undertaken in Ireland in which
 discrete choice experiments are combined with other survey data to examine
 the relative influence of factors such as house design, house location and
 journey times. The paper provides insights into the relative strength of
 such considerations, including the influence of the 'rural idyll'. The
 results have potential implications for planning in rural areas and the
 type of properties that could be needed to encourage moves to more
 nucleated settlements.

Title: Selected socio-economic factors affecting the willingness to minimise solid waste in Dhaka city, Bangladesh 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the factors that influence the waste generation and
 willingness to minimise solid waste in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Information
 on waste generation, willingness to minimise, socio-economic
 characteristics, and behaviour of the households towards solid waste
 management were obtained from interviews with 402 households in Dhaka
 city. Of these, 103 households regularly practised recycling activities.
 Ordinary least square (OLS) regression and logistic regression analysis
 were used to determine the dominant factors that might influence the waste
 generation and households' willingness to minimise solid waste,
 respectively. The results found that the waste generation of the
 households in Dhaka city was significantly affected by environmental
 consciousness, income groups, particularly the middle-income earners, and
 willingness to separate. The significant factors for willingness to
 minimise solid waste were environmental consciousness, income groups
 particularly the middle-income earners, young adults mainly those aged
 between 25 to 35 years and storage facility. Establishment of a solid
 waste management programme could be an effective strategy for implementing
 sustainable waste management in Bangladesh. For this strategy to succeed,
 however, active partnership between the respondents and waste management
 service department is required. The respondents' behaviour toward solid
 waste management practices should be taken into consideration, as should
 the results of this study, which are important indicators of respondents'
 positive attitudes toward sustainable waste management in Dhaka city.

Title: Economic growth vs. land quality: a multidimensional approach in Italy 
Abstract:
  This paper evaluates the recent economic dynamics in Italy and their
 implications for a specified environmental topic - land quality and its
 vulnerability to degradation. As opposed to the traditional economic
 literature, centred on GDP level and changes, a multidimensional concept
 of 'economic growth' was developed in the present study by considering
 several variables (share of agriculture and industry on the total
 production, labour productivity by sector, per capita value added) within
 a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This analysis was carried out with
 the aim of assessing diachronically the spatial association between (and,
 possibly, to clarify the implications of) the economic growth and the
 distribution of the vulnerable lands to degradation across nearly 700
 Italian districts in the mid-1990s and mid-2000s. The geographical
 gradients and the socio-economic factors supposed to have a prominent role
 in this relationship were analysed by dividing the investigated area into
 three geographical belts with different environmental characteristics. PCA
 results indicate that the traditional north-south economic gap has not
 been significantly reduced throughout the last 10 years. Furthermore,
 coastal-inland and urban-rural gradients were revealed as crucial in the
 environment-economic transition. Finally, the implications of this nexus
 on land quality were discussed.

Title: Addressing climate change in state and local environmental impact analysis 
Abstract:
  This study examines the first generation of state and local policies in
 the US that require consideration of climate change in environmental
 impact analysis (EIA). Based on a review of six policies, the study finds
 significant variation in approach relative to the nature of analyses
 (quantitative versus qualitative), consideration of various greenhouse
 gases, methods used to analyse impacts, applicability of policies and
 approaches to integrating climate change analyses into EIA documents. At
 the same time, the analysis highlights key challenges associated with
 addressing climate change in the existing EIA framework, including
 addressing cumulative effects and scientific uncertainty and evaluating
 the significance of project-scale climate change impacts.

Title: The use of a goal for SO2 mitigation planning and management in China's 11th Five-Year Plan 
Abstract:
  Using the goal of a 10% reduction of SO2 emissions in China's 11th
 Five-Year Plan (2006-2010) as a case study, this paper analyses how
 environmental goals are used in a large country with multi-level
 governments and insufficient rule of law. After the central government set
 up the goal, the mitigation burden was shared among local governments, and
 mechanisms were designed to enhance their commitment to the goal. This
 paper found that in the 11th Five-Year Plan, both the central and local
 governments were much more committed to SO2 mitigation than previously,
 which could help to explain China's recent significant reduction of SO2
 emissions. The case indicates that goals can effectively plan and manage
 environmental protection and other national government agendas.

Title: Multi-stakeholder involvement and urban green space performance 
Abstract:
  This study aimed to identify the main factors influencing urban green
 space performance. Therefore, a conceptual framework on the relations of
 multi-stakeholder involvement (MSI) and the performance was conducted by a
 mixed-method approach. The study covered all urban green space projects
 (UGSPs) published in international journals as its population which were
 obtained from three main databases: ISI Web of Knowledge, Scopus and
 Picarta. Using a few combinations of keywords, 29 relevant journals were
 identified, which included 42 UGSPs as the main units of analysis in this
 study. A content analysis was used to determine the contribution of MSI to
 the performance of urban green space. The main internal (state, private,
 society, planning/design, implementation, maintenance, input for
 management, and financial support) and external (regulation, good
 leadership and financial support) MSI indicators were further identified.
 The findings showed that the main indicators that significantly influence
 urban green space performance are 'state, society, implementation and
 regulation'. The study concluded that the state plays a critical role in
 the UGSPs' performance although it is not the only actor. The influential
 role of the state and society should also be considered since most of
 green space projects are non-profit oriented. 'Society' involvement also
 contributes to the performance and 'regulation' is also needed as a legal
 basis for green space development and management. To validate the
 conceptual framework and mixed-method approach developed here, it is
 recommended that more studies should be conducted to compare the
 relationship of the MSI and the UGSPs' performance in different
 categories.

Title: The implementation of an Environmental Management System in a North-African local public administration: the case of the City Council of Marrakech (Morocco) 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses the case of ISO 14001 certification in the City of
 Marrakech (Morocco). The case study defines the methods and approaches
 used in the implementation of the Environmental Management System (EMS),
 highlighting what were the main differences and the rationale and expected
 benefits of the certification process for the city. The paper aims to
 compare this experience with similar experiences of Western local
 authorities described in the literature by analysing drivers, motivations,
 benefits and barriers in EMS adoption. To achieve this goal, the paper
 reports, among other results, the outcome of a survey of the environmental
 perception of the City population carried out in the ISO 14001
 implementation in order to identify how and if the attainment of ISO 14001
 certification could be valorised by the City of Marrakech with regard to
 the citizens' perception. From this enquiry it emerges that a relevant
 sensibility of the population related to numerous environmental issues can
 be stimulated by ISO 14001 certification. The case study shows that an
 approach foreseeing a strong involvement of the stakeholders can be
 particularly effective as it responds to the specificities of non-EU
 contexts.

Title: Integrating ecological, scenic and local identity values in the management plan of an Alpine Natural Park 
Abstract:
  Nature conservation policies and procedures have recently acquired a
 wider mission. Disciplinary advances, the approval of international
 guidelines and regulations, and the increasing number and variety of
 protected areas require to overcome the traditional rigid separation
 between designated areas and the rest of the territory. In particular, the
 challenge of biodiversity protection and the attention devoted to
 protected landscapes require innovative approaches. The paper provides a
 disciplinary framework and illustrates the methodology used in drawing up
 a management plan for the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Natural Park, an
 alpine protected area located in Trentino, Italy. The Park is
 characterised by ecological values and spectacular Dolomite scenery, but
 also by man-made landscapes and the presence of economic activities. The
 key planning instrument applied is the 'landscape unit', which integrates
 the different values to be protected in a way that reflects the identity
 of local communities and the shared perspective of nature conservation.

Title: Resident valuation and expectation of the urban greening project in Zhuhai, China 
Abstract:
  The type of payment vehicle may affect estimates of willingness-to-pay
 (WTP) for public goods in contingent valuation. This study applied three
 payment vehicles (donation, greening tax and entrance fee) to assess
 residents' WTP for a new urban greening project in Zhuhai, China. A
 clustered sampling framework randomly chose 598 household heads for
 questionnaire interviews. A logit regression model was adopted to estimate
 WTP. The main findings were: (1) Zhuhai residents mainly used
 neighbourhood gardens for leisure rather than street gardens and urban
 parks; (2) donation was the most preferred payment mechanism that yielded
 the most conservative WTP estimate, compared with two other payment
 vehicles.

Title: An exploration of golf and voluntary environmental programmes 
Abstract:
  Golf is a major and expanding sport, leisure and tourism activity with
 significant environmental impacts. The impacts of golf and other sports
 facilities are increasingly addressed through Voluntary Environmental
 Programmes (VEPs). Since the late-1980s, VEPs have gained popularity
 because they theoretically overcome the weaknesses of environmental
 legislation, improve environmental performance beyond minimum legal
 compliance and confer competitive advantage. Yet their effectiveness is
 contested and they are only partially accepted. There is very limited
 research on the growing participation of golf and other sports in VEPs.
 Our international review paper outlines the environmental impacts of golf,
 analyses the strategic &#x2018;green&#x2019; pressures affecting the
 sport, reviews the theory and practice of VEPs, and draws conclusions on
 this under-researched field.

Title: The influence of age on recreational trail preferences of urban green-space visitors: a discrete choice experiment with digitally calibrated images 
Abstract:
  This study explored the influence of age on recreational trail
 preferences using an image-based discrete choice experiment. The trail
 scenarios were depicted as digitally calibrated images that systematically
 displayed eight social, managerial and physical trail features. In 2006,
 on-site visitors (N&#xA0;=&#xA0;321) to public green spaces in Vienna were
 intercepted. Age groups were formed based on quartiles. Across all
 quartiles, visitor numbers and litter had the highest influence on trail
 preferences. Not all attributes were relevant for each quartile. The
 elderly quartile placed more importance on litter and activity type, while
 trail environment and trail type were of marginal importance compared with
 the younger quartiles. Consequently, visitor preferences are diverse
 because of age and planning and management has to consider these different
 needs for recreational trails.

Title: Defining goals in participatory water management: merging local visions and expert judgements 
Abstract:
  Management by objectives is intrinsic to the EU Water Framework Directive
 (WFD) and Swedish environmental policy. We describe three approaches to
 formulating objectives via model-assisted dialogue with local stakeholders
 concerning eutrophication in a coastal drainage area in south-eastern
 Sweden: a WFD eco-centred approach based on &#x2018;natural state&#x2019;;
 Swedish environmental policy reformulated into quantified reduction goals;
 and a participatory approach based on local stakeholder definitions of
 desirable environmental status. Despite problems with representation, we
 conclude that local stakeholder participation in formulating local goals
 could increase goal functionality and robustness when adapting and
 implementing national and EU WFD goals at the local level.

Title: The Green Area Ratio: an urban site sustainability metric 
Abstract:
  The Green Area Ratio (GAR) is an urban site sustainability metric which
 has been used in Berlin, Germany since 1997 to enhance the urban
 environment by requiring green infrastructure enhancements on private
 properties. Following an overview of the principles of the GAR instrument,
 this paper outlines metric development and implementation procedures in
 Berlin and then analyses how instrument features might affect its
 potential environmental, social and economic impacts. Despite identified
 policy deficits and the lack of adequate outcome monitoring in Berlin, the
 GAR instrument resonates with the environmental planning needs of many
 urban communities, including its compatibility with dense urbanism,
 utilisation of green infrastructure techniques, and an aim toward
 comprehensive environmental planning.

Title: Managing urban growth to reduce motorised travel in Beijing: one method of creating a low-carbon city 
Abstract:
  The environmental impact of rising motorised travel has become a key
 issue regarding low-carbon development in China. Drastic urban expansion
 under the current rapid urbanisation process tends to worsen these
 impacts. This paper examines the impacts of the patterns of urban
 development on motorised travel in the case of Beijing. By using household
 survey data, the analysis finds that the patterns of urban development on
 the urban fringe have a significant impact on workers' car use for their
 journeys to work when their socio-economic characteristics, household
 preferences for housing location and level of public transport
 accessibility are taken into account. Sprawling industrial and real estate
 development, characterised by a low degree of self-contained development
 and low-density land use, tends to increase the need to drive. The
 findings suggest that growth management to control sprawling development
 would play an important role in containing the motorised travel demand in
 China where transport policies are usually focused on huge and expensive
 transport projects. Urban growth management can have significant
 implications for achieving the objectives of creating a low-carbon city in
 China in the current process of rapid urbanisation.

Title: Mapping ocean governance: from ecological values to policy instrumentation 
Abstract:
  With the turn to integrated forms of ecosystem governance, ocean zoning
 is argued to be an efficient means to manage cumulative pressures and
 multiple spatial claims. Maps and mapping practices reflect and constitute
 the turn to marine ecosystem governance, wherein different actors take
 part to design policy instruments. This paper traces how mapping practices
 enacted ecosystem governance in the Barents Sea-Lofoten area in Norway. It
 demonstrates how ecological values and vulnerability were translated into
 a boundary infrastructure, which was consequently distilled into a
 user-oriented grid that provided a temporary framework for oil and gas
 activities. The paper demonstrates that mapping--perceived as an on-going
 process of translation--results in constant redefinations of the
 relationship between actors and information, and of regular
 reinterpretation of the reality that is created.

Title: Estimating the welfare impacts of agricultural landscape change in Ireland: a choice experiment approach 
Abstract:
  In this paper we exploit a choice experiment modelling framework to
 estimate the potential non-market welfare impacts of a number of
 hypothetical rural Irish landscape types that could become real by the
 year 2030, depending both on future agricultural policy reform and
 changing land use demands. The results of a random parameters logit model
 demonstrate significant preference heterogeneity amongst the Irish
 population for the attributes of agricultural landscapes. The largest
 welfare gain for the population is found to be from the
 &#x2018;agri-environmental landscape&#x2019; that protects traditional
 farm landscape features and enhances biodiversity.

Title: The governance of Natura 2000 sites: the importance of initial choices in the organisation of planning processes 
Abstract:
  The management of Natura 2000 sites faces several challenges. Responsible
 authorities need to achieve specific conservation objectives and they need
 to balance these objectives with social and economic interests. A study of
 two cases, one in England and one in the Netherlands, shows that the
 initial choices about the organisation of a deliberative planning process
 can create a solid basis for further co-operation. This paper contributes
 to the knowledge about the design and consequences of deliberative
 planning processes. It shows how a specific process design can strengthen
 the possibilities to develop social capital, trust and reciprocity, but
 also how it can result in a deliberative quicksand, characterised by
 ongoing discussions and even conflicts between the various stakeholders.

Title: Non-attendance to attributes in environmental choice analysis: a latent class specification 
Abstract:
  There is a growing literature on the design and use of stated choice
 experiments. Analysts have developed sophisticated ways of analysing such
 data, using a form of discrete choice model to identify the marginal
 (dis)utility associated with observed attributes linked to an alternative,
 as well as accounting for preference and scale heterogeneity. There is
 also a growing literature studying the attribute processing rules that
 respondents use as a way of simplifying the task of choosing. Using the
 latent class framework, we define classes based on rules that recognise
 the non-attendance to one or more attributes. These processing rules are
 postulated to be used in real markets as a form of cognitive
 rationalisation. The empirical study involves a choice amongst rural
 environmental landscape improvements in the Republic of Ireland. We
 estimate models and calculate a marginal willingness to pay (WTP) for four
 landscape improvements, and contrast it with the results from a model
 specification in which all attributes are assumed to be attended to with
 parameter preservation. We find that the marginal WTP is, on average,
 significantly higher when full attribute preservation specification is
 adopted, raising questions about the appropriateness of current practice
 that assume a fully compensatory attribute choice rule.

Title: Determinants of environmental management and implications for firms' economic performance 
Abstract:
  There is considerable debate in the literature about the economic
 implications of firms' environmental management. The current study
 identifies the determinants and implications of environmental management
 and performance, using an empirical analysis of 187 hotels in the third
 most visited region of Spain -- itself the second most important tourist
 destination in the world (2008). The study confirms the positive influence
 of environmental management and performance on an organisation's economic
 performance. Consequently, the study contributes to the natural
 resource-based view of the firm. For this purpose, starting from an
 exhaustive and critical review of the literature the study defines a valid
 and reliable model, adapted to the socio-economic context of the analysis,
 with which to evaluate firms' environmental protection actions and their
 outcomes.

Title: Public open spaces in Nairobi City, Kenya, under threat 
Abstract:
  The paper demonstrates that public open spaces in Nairobi City have been
 increasingly threatened by congestion and deterioration as result of the
 rapid rate of urbanisation (5--7.5%), poor planning, weak management and
 illegal alienation. According to the 1948 Master Plan for the city, city
 planning was premised on the neighbourhood concept with ample provision of
 public open spaces. However, after Kenya's independence in 1963, the
 implementation of the Master Plan was largely abandoned. Rapid and
 uncontrolled urbanisation meant that public open spaces that were intended
 to serve a population of 250,000 now serve over 3 million people. Public
 open spaces in the city suffer from degradation, overcrowding and
 insecurity, thus denying city residents access to the much-needed
 recreation and leisure facilities.

Title: A comparative study of green building in urban and transitioning rural North Carolina 
Abstract:
  Green building has gained popularity in urban areas for reducing energy
 use. This study analyzes factors influencing green building adoption and
 use through five comparative case studies of urban and transitioning
 (rapidly developing rural) North Carolina counties. Interviews and policy
 analyses reveal factors determining green building activity in
 transitioning counties, including the presence ofactive advocacy and
 industry organisations, supportive governments and knowledge spillover
 from nearby university sustainability programmes. Confusion over green
 building processes, hesitance to alter development practices, low
 inter-governmental co-ordination and feedback between low green building
 education and government outreach, can limit green building activity. Our
 findings point to recommendations for federal, state and local government
 actions to incentivise green building in transitioning areas.

Title: Crossing trails in the marshes: rigidity and flexibility in the governance of the Danube Delta 
Abstract:
  In this paper, we revisit the utility of the concepts of path dependence
 and interdependence for the analysis of participatory environmental
 governance. We investigate the evolution of environmental governance in
 the Romanian Danube Delta, and, starting from an observation of
 problematic citizen participation, demonstrate how specific patterns of
 path and interdependence shaped both the present situation and the reform
 options. For the Delta, it is argued that direct citizen participation,
 without working with other institutions, would not solve the problems
 observed, but would rather reinforce unwanted informal institutions.
 Theoretically, we utilise a combination of path dependence theory and
 social systems theory, allowing a grasp of both rigidity and flexibility
 in the evolution of governance systems. Empirically, expert and lay
 interviews, long-term observation and analysis of policy documents
 underpin our analysis.

Title: Understanding community engagement in plantation forest management: insights from practitioner and community narratives 
Abstract:
  Community engagement (CE) processes are an essential component of modern
 forest management practices. Required under law and in line with modern
 business paradigms, CE processes need to produce positive social as well
 as operational outcomes, a balance that is often complicated and
 idealistic. This paper identifies pathways to successful CE within
 operational plantation forestry management. Using narratives to explore
 the multiple experiences of those involved in engagement processes, the
 paper highlights the perspectives of both practitioners and other
 stakeholders. Analysing the multiple goals and interpretations of
 engagement encounters, approaches for improving CE practices used in
 plantation management and other settings are identified.

Title: Stakeholder and expert-guided scenarios for agriculture and landscape development in a groundwater protection area 
Abstract:
  Nitrate and pesticide leaching led to the designation of groundwater
 protection zones in Denmark. The protective measures in these zones often
 clash with local interests in agriculture. Scenarios were used to evaluate
 the development of a groundwater protection zone in a farming area.
 Stakeholders are accorded strong influence on the scenarios. Scenario
 inputs comprised land cover, land use and farmers' plans and preferences,
 as registered in interviews with farmers. Scenarios were evaluated
 regarding the effect on nitrate leaching, extent of pesticide-free area
 and farm income. The scenarios proved effective in modelling coupled
 development in land use/land cover and nitrate leaching and pesticide-free
 area. Voluntary commitment to schemes, calculated according to stakeholder
 preferences, reduced nitrate leaching by up to 15%. Scenarios with
 additional inputs from experts who formulated more comprehensive landscape
 projects reduced the present loss by up to 30%. In both cases, the
 pesticide free areas were doubled. In general, the bottom-up approaches
 had a lesser effect on reducing nitrogen losses than did the top-down
 approaches.

Title: Can environmental appraisal be truly interdisciplinary? 
Abstract:
  Environmental appraisal is a multidisciplinary decision-making support
 tool, which aims to promote sustainable development through policies of
 environmental management and planning. It does so by relying on skills and
 knowledge that come from the social sciences, natural sciences and applied
 sciences. Within this context, many recognise that to strengthen and
 improve practice, environmental appraisal needs to evolve into a more
 interdisciplinary tool, with greater cross-fertilisation between
 disciplines and closer collaborations between practice traditions and
 communities of professionals. This paper suggests that, to date,
 environmental appraisal is far from being truly interdisciplinary. It
 argues that &#x2018;gate-keepers&#x2019; are ensuring that the boundaries,
 traditions and cultural assumptions between disciplines and professions
 are maintained, setting the frame of reference that guides the practice of
 environmental appraisal, and influencing professional views in terms of
 the way in which things are/should be done. Therefore, this paper attempts
 to explore the cultural assumptions through which environmental appraisal
 is practised in competent planning organisations, using a cultural filters
 approach.

Title: The negative approach to urban growth planning of Beijing, China 
Abstract:
  Among other issues, the degrading environmental and ecological
 situations, the low performance scrambled city form and the loss of
 cultural identity in Beijing City have proved that the conventional
 &#x2018;population projection-urban infrastructure-land use&#x2019;
 approach and the architectural urbanism approach to urban growth planning
 failed to meet the challenges of swift urbanisation and sustainability
 issues in China in general, and Beijing in particular. The
 &#x2018;negative approach&#x2019; is proposed that defines an urban growth
 and urban form through the identification and planning of Ecological
 Infrastructure (EI). This approach has evolved from the pre-scientific
 model of <italic>Feng-shui</italic> as the sacred landscape setting for
 human settlement, the nineteenth century notion of greenways as urban
 recreational infrastructure, the early twentieth century idea of green
 belts as urban form makers, and the late twentieth century notion of
 ecological networks and EI as a biological preservation framework. EI is
 composed of critical landscape elements and structure that are
 strategically identified and planned to safeguard natural assets and
 ecosystems services, essential for sustaining human society. EI is
 strategically planned and developed using less land but more efficiently
 preserving the ecosystems services. Using Beijing City as an example, this
 paper demonstrates how to use EI as a tool to guide and frame sustainable
 urban development.

Title: Hydrological modelling of water allocation, ecosystem services and poverty alleviation in the Pongola floodplain, South Africa 
Abstract:
  The Pongola River Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation (PRESPA)
 project quantified the economic benefits accuring to different livelihood
 sectors from the water resources of the Pongola floodplain, South Africa.
 The floodplain carries a diverse economy and ecology which is supported by
 flood events that once occured naturally but are now regulated by an
 upstream dam. PRESPA modelled the eco-hydrology which underpins various
 ecosystem services to determine how this might be managed to alleviate
 poverty. A model was used to quantify the economic value of the available
 water, especially the value accruing to the poor. This model linked to
 three development scenarios to explore trade-offs and outcomes of (1) a
 status quo, &#x2018;unstructured&#x2019; economy; (2) a structured diverse
 economy; and (3) a structured &#x2018;single sector&#x2019; agricultural
 economy. This model gives decision makers a measure of where water is best
 used in terms of poverty alleviation and enables them to examine future
 economic and ecosystem trajectories. In summary, poor households on the
 floodplain currently have a diversity of income and food sources, making
 them less vulnerable to economic and climatic shocks, while there is a
 trend towards intensive agriculture which may deliver higher returns but
 with greater costs and increased vulnerability.

Title: Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) as a means to include environmental knowledge in decision making in the case of an aluminium reduction plant in Greenland 
Abstract:
  The purpose and means of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) can
 vary depending on the case investigated and interests of actors involved.
 Based on the objective for the SEA of a proposed aluminium reduction plant
 (ARP) in Greenland, this paper evaluates the SEA's effectiveness in
 securing environmental knowledge in a decision-making process. It is
 concluded that the SEA secured inclusion of environmental knowledge in
 three out of four key decision arenas, which determined the direction and
 outcome of the process. The results from the SEA did not oppose the
 recommendations based on the economic assessments. As there was no
 conflict between economic and environmental recommendations, and hence no
 visible proof of SEA's influence on the outcome of the decision, it is
 discussed whether environmental knowledge, in this decision making
 process, equals influence. The investigation was carried out as a part of
 a PhD project and is meant as a contribution to the debate about how to
 investigate SEA effectiveness and to broaden the understanding of the use
 of SEA in Greenland.

Title: Estimating health risk from dust dispersion during a potential collapse of a severely contaminated building 
Abstract:
  The paper presents a risk analysis that was conducted in order to
 estimate the adverse health effects anticipated from the potential
 collapse of a historically contaminated building. Towards this direction
 several dust dispersion scenarios were simulated, and the resulting
 concentrations of the contaminants of concern were compared to appropriate
 emergency exposure limits. The results indicate that irreversible or other
 serious health effects could occur, especially among the most vulnerable
 groups of the population. However, these worrying findings were helpful
 towards accelerating the approval process of the proposed remedial
 measures, which are expected to start shortly.

Title: Patchwork of land use, tapestry of risk 
Abstract:
  The links between built form and environmental health are, as yet,
 inadequately understood. Risk is a formless and ambiguous phenomenon
 tightly embedded in the myriad pattern of land uses that generate it. Our
 research, which is founded on a contextualist notion of policy design,
 demonstrates the potential of innovative land use policy instruments (i.e.
 form-based codes, conditional use permits) to address risk. We model
 environmental risks from point and mobile sources in Southeast Los Angeles
 (SELA), a known air toxics hotspot. We compare risk contours before and
 after implementation of land use interventions. The use of innovative
 form-based codes for modifying built environments results in appreciable
 risk reductions around transportation corridors in SELA. Conditional use
 permits employing technological standards for commercial and
 light-industrial land uses also produce some risk reductions. This
 research suggests an untapped potential for land use planning instruments
 to address the environmental health impacts of built form.

Title: Segmenting landholders for improving the targeting of natural resource management expenditures 
Abstract:
  Segmentation of landholders has rarely been undertaken in the natural
 resource management literature, yet it provides a rich set of information
 for planners to improve targeting of public investment and resources.
 Segmentation allows the identification of segments of landholders that are
 &#x2018;investment ready&#x2019;, their location and characteristics, and
 the land conservation incentive programmes that they would be most willing
 to participate in. Segments that are not investment ready are also
 identified, and the instances where they reside in critical ecological
 habitats. Further, segmentation analysis provides insight into constraints
 to participation among these segments. We report the results of a
 large-scale segmentation exercise involving qualitative research and a
 quantitative survey of 5904 landholders in Australia. Using several new
 constructs related to human capital, trust and social connectedness not
 previously used for segmentation, we find three mainstream and two
 lifestyle segments which differ substantially in their socio-demographics
 and their propensity to be involved in incentive programmes.

Title: The potential for integration of environmental data from regional stratifications into a European monitoring framework 
Abstract:
  The development of a co-ordinated system for monitoring European
 biodiversity that can provide policy makers with information to underpin
 the management of ecological resources requires an appropriate
 environmental stratification to facilitate sampling and data analysis.
 This paper quantifies the similarities between the European Environmental
 Stratification (EnS) and four regional stratifications to test whether the
 EnS is able to distinguish locally important environmental gradients. The
 results show that in general the EnS is comparable with regional
 stratifications, and resolves border effects where divergent environmental
 conditions are combined into dominant strata. However, some regional
 gradients are not discerned, illustrating the value of national
 stratifications to provide local detail within continental monitoring
 strata.

Title: Integrating climate protection and mitigation functions with other landscape functions in rural areas: a landscape planning approach 
Abstract:
  Environmental planning has not yet sufficiently considered climate
 protection and mitigation functions as well as the potential for combining
 mitigation measures with other landscape functions. The aim of this paper
 is to present a methodological approach which addresses this deficit. The
 assessment of climate protection functions of the agricultural landscape
 was based on exiting soil and land use data and was applied in a case
 study. The potential for synergies with other landscape functions and for
 site-specific multifunctional measures is also demonstrated in the case
 study.

Title: Volunteer participation in collaborative watershed partnerships: insights from the Theory of Planned Behaviour 
Abstract:
  A growing body of literature in collaborative natural resource management
 has identified factors associated with group processes, outputs and
 outcomes. Scholars have also begun to identify variables that affect
 whether, why and how volunteers choose to participate in collaborative
 efforts. To date, however, these variables have been analysed largely in
 isolation. This study examines variables from the Theory of Planned
 Behaviour and volunteerism literature. Analysis of data from members of 11
 watershed partnerships in Ohio, USA, indicates significant links from
 attitudes, subjective norms (how &#x2018;important others&#x2019; expect
 an individual to behave), and personal requests to active participation in
 group activities.

Title: Responsible procurement and complex product chains: the case of chemical risks in textiles 
Abstract:
  The objective of this study is to gain insights about the opportunities
 and challenges that private and public organisations face regarding the
 development of responsible procurement in a complex and uncertain issue.
 The paper focuses on chemicals in textiles, and uses a qualitative
 methodology with semi-structured interviews. Key elements of a pro-active,
 responsible procurement strategy are defined, including criteria such as
 using a preventive, systematic, responsive, integrative and reflective
 approach. The analysis includes the following topics: (1) priorities and
 knowledge; (2) communicative strategies; (3) policy instruments; (4)
 monitoring and trust in relation to suppliers. The results show a fairly
 modest level of organisational responsibility, although it is possible to
 observe an initial positive development.

Title: Mediating consultation: insights from private sector consultants involved in air quality consultations 
Abstract:
  Environmental consultants act as intermediaries between clients (public
 and private sector) and stakeholders (both statutory and non-statutory),
 presenting information and arguments on behalf of clients to stakeholders
 and gathering stakeholders' views. This research explores environmental
 consultants&#x2019; perceptions of the processes of consultation about air
 quality issues with a view to analysing their role in the process and the
 tensions they face. The study used a mixed-methods approach: a survey of
 150 environmental consultants, two focus groups and three in-depth
 semi-structured interviews. The results show that consultants are
 conservative in their choice of consultation methods, choosing approaches
 that minimise the risk to clients&#x2019; desired outcomes. Resource and
 time constraints further limit the scope of many consultations.
 Consultants typically make little effort to evaluate the consultation
 process, relying on outcome measures (such as a successful planning
 application) and process measures (numbers attending meetings) rather than
 considering the outcome in relation to participants. However,
 environmental consultants were aware of issues such as raising the
 expectations of participants and the need to be transparent about the
 extent to which participants can influence decisions. Given the widespread
 use ofenvironmental consultants to manage the consultation process, the
 research raises questions about the purpose of consultation (is it to
 improve outcomes, to comply with regulations or to build consensus?).

Title:  <italic>Ex ante</italic> and <italic>ex post</italic> valuations of a cultural good. Are preferences or expectations changing? 
Abstract:
  In recent years valuations of cultural goods and services have been
 undertaken using the contingent valuation method, because of its
 flexibility and the advantages it affords over other methods of valuing
 non-market goods. Yet, in contingent valuation literature few studies have
 addressed the reliability of the outcomes. This is the goal of the current
 paper, which presents the results of anapplication of the contingent
 valuation method to a new museum of contemporary art (Museo Patio
 Herreriano de Arte Contempor&#xE1;neo [Spanish Contemporary Art Museum] in
 Valladolid, Spain). The method was applied at two different times: prior
 to its opening and after some years. We thus aim to contrast the evolution
 of preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) estimates at different points
 in time using bootstrap techniques. Estimations were performed using
 non-parametric methods and the outcomes reflect stability for valuations
 made by visitors to the museum but not for the valuations given by
 residents of Valladolid.

Title: Traditional knowledge and landscape management: evaluation and measurement of traditional knowledge on edible wild plants and mushrooms in the satoyama ecosystems in the Noto Peninsula, Japan 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this study was to determine the traditional knowledge (TK)
 associated with edible wild plants and mushrooms, as well as to examine
 the status of relevant TK by a set of indicators developed in the satoyama
 ecosystems of the Noto Peninsula in Japan. The relevant data were
 collected through open-ended interviews; a structured questionnaire, was
 developed and a literature review was undertaken. The results of the
 questionnaire completed by 154 community members, and open-ended
 interviews revealed that 46 edible wild plants and 19 mushroom species are
 widely collected for a variety of purposes at the selected sites. An
 assessment of TK associated with the target plants showed that TK is a
 cumulative body of knowledge, developed through interaction with the
 satoyama ecosystems. Accordingly, 16 potential indicators were proposed in
 the framework of the five core themes (e.g. land and resources) to
 contribute to providing a valuable and practical dataset on how the
 current and future status of TK can be monitored. Finally, a series of
 conclusions are discussed in terms of maintenance of TK and its role in
 landscape and community management.

Title: Waste electric and electronic equipment in Jordan: willingness and generation rates 
Abstract:
  Waste generated from electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) is
 increasing due to the demand for information and communication
 technologies (ICT), rapid product obsolescence, coupled with rapid
 economic growth, urbanisation and technology advancement. Developed
 countries have reacted actively to manage this waste, while developing
 countries are still in the early stages of recognising this problem. This
 paper gauges Jordanian household WEEE awareness levels, their electric and
 electronic equipment (EEE) consumption patterns, and estimates the
 lifetime of EEE using questionnaire and interview methods. Based on these
 findings, the WEEE generation rate in Jordan is predicted.

Title: Using stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis methods in SEA: an application to the Park of Trasimeno (Italy) 
Abstract:
  Strategic Environmental Assessment is an important tool, one that has
 been compulsory in the European Union since 2004. The procedure enables
 the inclusion of the environment in the planning phase to avoid
 environmental problems in the future. The individuation and valuation of
 reasonable alternatives is one of the most important aspects introduced by
 the Directive. Multi-criteria Decision Analysis can be a tool for choosing
 the best reasonable alternative. In this study, we test the use of
 Stochastic Multi-criteria Acceptability Analysis, which is a new family of
 multi-criteria methods. In particular, we use the SMAA-2 method, which
 allows the use of cardinal data and does not require information on
 Decision Makers&#x2019; preferences. In this application, SMAA-2 enables a
 solution for a Management Plan of Trasimeno Park in a very sensitive
 political and social context.

Title: Adequacy of the follow-up process in India and barriers to its effective implementation 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the effectiveness of EIA procedures in India in terms
 of the follow-up process. It provides an insight into the legal framework,
 roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders and the focus of Terms
 of Reference (TOR) provided for the follow-up. A &#x2018;practice
 analysis&#x2019; was carried out to assess actual enforcement and
 implementation of environmental stipulations, based on information derived
 from the official records of regulatory authorities for the industrial
 estate of Haldia. The analysis was further substantiated through
 discussions with various stakeholders and personal observations. Several
 inadequacies were observed during the implementation of the process, in
 terms of ambiguous conditions, ineffective measures to ensure compliance,
 vested interests of industrial units, lack of co-ordination and inadequate
 resources available with implementing agencies. In order to ascertain
 effective follow-up practice, integrated efforts, i.e. focused and
 elaborated Terms of Reference (TOR), better monitoring support, extended
 legal powers, co-ordination among regulators for timely action,
 self-regulation among proponents and the involvement of local people, are
 essential.

Title: Central government ambitions and local commitment: climate mitigation initiatives in four municipalities in Norway and Sweden 
Abstract:
  This comparison of the effects of national approaches to encouraging
 local climate mitigation initiatives in four municipalities in Norway and
 Sweden suggests that the development of such initiatives depend not only
 on the comprehensiveness and ambitions of central government efforts, but
 more crucially on characteristics of the targeted municipalities. We argue
 that local coalitions of committed individuals forming implementation
 structures of varying cohesiveness are important for understanding
 variations in the effects of government programmes on the development of
 local mitigation initiatives.

Title: Gauging levels of public acceptance of the use of visualisation tools in promoting public participation; a case study of wind farm planning in South Wales, UK 
Abstract:
  There is an increasing interest in the use of IT-based tools to encourage
 public participation in environmental decision making. Typically, this has
 involved the development of (predominantly prototype) systems applied in
 workshop scenarios with those stakeholders with an immediate interest in
 the planning issue in hand. Increasingly, however, the Internet is being
 used to explore the use of online visualisation and mapping tools, with
 evaluation often taking the form of feedback questionnaires that are used
 to refine such techniques. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how
 innovative visualisation techniques can enhance existing methods of
 information provision and public participation in a renewable energy
 setting. Specifically, we are concerned with examining participant
 opinions on the use of such tools to promote participation in relation to
 a proposed wind farm in South Wales. Our findings suggest that survey
 participants are generally optimistic regarding the potential for such
 software and overall give strong support for the development and
 implementation of these technologies in a real-world planning context.
 However, we suggest that such techniques need to be carefully tailored to
 the types of public engagement being sought in order to link particular
 tasks to specific technology types.

Title: A conceptual model of the citizen stream stewardship decision process in an urbanising Midwestern United States watershed 
Abstract:
  We present a conceptual model depicting how citizens make decisions to
 promote stream health. The model, based on a combination of local expert
 opinion and substantive literature, serves as a foundation for assessing
 citizen knowledge gaps and decision influences, with the ultimate goal of
 designing more informed communication efforts. The model indicates that
 decisions are directly influenced by the recognition of a threat and need
 to act, as well as the legal requirement to act regardless of personal
 concern. The recognition of a threat is dependent on understanding the
 ecosystem and the threats and impacts to stream health, as well as a
 variety of individual differences and socio-cultural factors that motivate
 individuals to better understand the risk.

Title: Information technologies, community characteristics and environmental outcomes: evidence from South Korea 
Abstract:
  While a growing body of literature suggests the regulatory potential of
 information and communication technologies for pollution abatement,
 empirical evidence on the subject remains limited. This research examines
 whether, and how, the provision of pollution information through
 government websites helps to address environmental harm in the context of
 developing countries. Drawing insights from the relevant literature, we
 construct and test hypotheses about informational and socio-demographic
 factors that are likely to explain the effectiveness of Internet-aided
 emission violations control in urban communities as perceived by
 environmental regulators. Findings from regression analysis indicate that
 decreases in emission violations as perceived by environmental field
 officials are: (1) attributable to the quality of municipal websites and
 local environmental activism; and (2) negatively related to population
 size. The research highlights the potential in municipalities' initiatives
 to utilise Internet technologies to provide access to rich environmental
 information and communication channels that facilitate interactions
 between citizens, grassroots groups, and regulatory agencies in putting
 community pressure on polluters.

Title: Reframing water governance: a multi-perspective study of an over-engineered catchment in China 
Abstract:
  Climate change, over abstraction, pollution and questionable
 engineering-based paradigms are contributing to a state of crisis in water
 governance. This paper reports on preliminary research in Lake Baiyangdian
 catchment, China, which has the potential to realise more systemic and
 adaptive forms of water governance through development and use of a method
 that reframes water catchment management in the form of social learning. A
 cross-disciplinary research group worked together with multiple-department
 managers and stakeholder representatives within a purposefully designed
 &#x2018;learning system&#x2019; to create an insipient social learning
 platform. The results demonstrate the potential to reframe water catchment
 management in Lake Baiyangdian so as to better address the questions: who
 should manage the water catchment and what in the catchment should be the
 focus of managing?

Title: Residential satisfaction in inner urban higher-density Brisbane, Australia: role of dwelling design, neighbourhood and neighbours 
Abstract:
  Increasing the population density of urban areas is a key policy strategy
 to sustainably manage growth, but many residents often view higher-density
 living as an undesirable long-term housing option. Thus, this research
 explores the predictors of residential satisfaction in inner urban
 higher-density (IUHD) environments, surveying 636 IUHD residents in
 Brisbane, Australia about the importance of dwelling design (34 specific
 attributes, assessing satisfaction with facilities, upkeep, size, cost,
 design, surroundings, location, climate and environmental management) and
 neighbourhood (73 specific attributes, assessing satisfaction with noise,
 odours, pollution, safety, growth, neighbourhood characteristics,
 facilities). Ordinal regression modelling identified the specific features
 of the neighbourhood and dwelling that were critical in predicting
 residential satisfaction: satisfaction with dwelling position, design and
 facilities, noise, walkability, safety and condition of local area and
 social contacts (family, friends, familiar faces) in the neighbourhood.
 Identifying the factors that influence residential satisfaction in IUHD
 will assist with both planning and design of such developments, enhancing
 quality and appeal to help ensure a lower resident turnover rate and

Title: Valuation of residual impacts of roads on landscape ecological units in Navarre, Spain 
Abstract:
  Road construction generally reduces the ecological value of the
 environment. To recover it, the value of the residual ecological impacts
 should be counterbalanced by compensation measures within the
 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedure. Ecological valuation and
 impact valuation are central to EIA performance. As long as residual
 impacts are valued, the rationale behind specific compensation proposals
 may be strengthened. This paper proposes a simple, transparent and
 adaptable approach to ecological and impact valuation. It aims at
 improving the perception, compilation and valuation of certain residual
 ecological impacts, as a means to encourage compensation practice within
 EIA.

Title: Systems connectivity between social, cultural and economic factors and housing environments associated with TB transmission in slums 
Abstract:
  Several studies have shown that the risk of tuberculosis (TB) infection
 in slums is high due to their overcrowded nature and deplorable housing
 conditions. This paper investigated a wider connectivity between housing
 environments and social, cultural and economic factors and used a system
 engineering approach to build a generic model to estimate the TB
 transmission risk and to facilitate the application of urban planning and
 engineering to improve the health of slums. Key factors were identified
 through literature review, while the Wells and Riley equation, which
 formulates the kinetics of TB transmission, was used to define the
 engineering parameters. A systems map was developed using a systems
 engineering tool, STELLA, enhancing visualisation and quantification of
 the impact these factors have on the housing performance.

Title: Environmental Impact Assessment, ecosystems services and the case of energy crops in England 
Abstract:
  A consequence of the increased requirements for renewable energy is
 likely to be allocation of more land to bio-energy crop production. Recent
 regulatory changes in England, as in other parts of the UK, mean that
 changes in land-use are increasingly subject to screening through
 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). This paper reviews these regulatory
 changes and explores the potential benefits of incorporating a fuller
 examination of ecosystem services within EIA procedures. The authors argue
 that such an approach could help achieve sustainability by identifying the
 best options within an area, rather than concentrating on the negative
 effects of selected proposed projects. It could also help highlight the
 benefits provided by existing and proposed agricultural, forestry,
 peri-urban and urban systems. However, successful implementation of an
 ecosystem services approach would also require a greater understanding of
 the societal preferences for the full range of ecosystem services at a
 landscape scale, aswell as the trade-offs and synergies between uses of
 specific services.

Title: A system dynamics model for stakeholder analysis in environmental conflicts 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a systems model to address the need for a stakeholder
 analysis tool in the environmental planning and management literature. It
 captures the dynamic and complex nature of environmental conflicts. This
 is developed using the system dynamics methodology and is applied to a New
 Zealand case, the Transmission Gully motorway project. Experiments
 conducted using the model showed that although the proposed Transmission
 Gully motorway is capable of easing traffic congestion in the short term,
 it will not reduce traffic congestion in the long term. Policy and
 scenario experiments conducted using the model revealed that policies
 aimed at reducing traffic congestion could also reduce the conflict
 between stakeholders; however, they showed some counter-intuitive
 behaviour in the system which highlighted the complexity of the problem
 situation.

Title: Managed retreat of coastal communities: understanding responses to projected sea level rise 
Abstract:
  Managed retreat -- the relocation of homes and infrastructure under
 threat from coastal flooding -- is one of the few policy options available
 for coastal communities facing long-term risks from accelerated sea level
 rise. At present, little is known about how the Australian public
 perceives policy options to mitigate sea level rise risks. This paper
 explores a range of different decision-making criteria used to assess a
 managed retreat scheme. A metatheoretical social functionalist framework
 is used to make sense of personal concerns elicited from an online survey
 asking respondents to consider a managed retreat scheme. The framework
 proposes that people can act intuitively as scientists, economists,
 politicians, prosecutors and theologians, when considering a complex topic
 such as managed retreat policy. The research found that the survey
 respondents are more likely to consider the topic of managed retreat from
 multiple functional perspectives than from a single functional
 perspective. The type of social functionalist frameworks that people used
 to assess the Conditional Occupancy Rights scheme was found to be
 influenced by their perceptions of sea level rise risk. The findings have
 implications for public debates about the long-term risks of sea level
 rise and for engaging with the community about managed retreat policy
 options.

Title: Climate change as governmentality: technologies of government for adaptation in three European countries 
Abstract:
  Using the Foucauldian theoretical framework of governmentality, this
 paper examines the role of regulative &#x2018;technologies of
 government&#x2019; in climate change adaptation. The paper examines such
 technologies and underlying rationalities in a multi-level context, in
 three European countries that represent different stages of adaptation
 policy development: the UK, Finland and Sweden. Drawing upon policy
 documents and interviews at different levels, the paper illustrates
 differences in technologies of government for adaptation between the
 relatively &#x2018;regulative&#x2019; UK state system and Finland and
 Sweden's traditional legalistic and welfarist systems. The study
 illustrates that, while the treatment of adaptation as an issue on a
 national level coheres with national rationalities, local and regional
 levels show a diversity in the development of bottom-up adaptation
 technologies.

Title: The effects of scene contents and focus of light on perceived restorativeness, fear and preference in nightscapes 
Abstract:
  This paper consists of two studies. The first study investigates how
 different scene contents (urban, combined/mixed and natural) affect
 perceived restorativeness, preference and fear in nightscapes. The second
 study investigates how changes in the focus of the light affect these same
 variables. Simulated views were rated by participants, using the Perceived
 Restorativeness Scale (PRS) and measurements of fear and preference. The
 results of the first study indicate that night-time perceived
 restorativeness is consistent with that in daytime environments. Natural
 scenes were perceived as having higher restorative quality. They were also
 perceived as being less frightening than urban ones and were preferred to
 them. Combined scenes were assessed similarly to natural ones. The second
 study indicated that changing the focus of the light in nightscapes can
 have the same type of effects on perceived restorativeness, fear and
 preference as changing the actual content of the scene.

Title: Social context and the role of collaborative policy making for private land conservation 
Abstract:
  Recent decades have seen a proliferation of conservation programmes
 designed to encourage private landholders to protect and enhance
 biodiversity on their land. This paper reviews research emphasising the
 role of social context in shaping private land conservation (PLC)
 outcomes. We examine the potential for a collaborative policy-making
 process incorporating design and implementation of PLC programmes to
 reduce conflict between conservation agencies and landholders and increase
 community consensus around PLC issues. Collaborative partnerships nested
 at the sub-watershed governance level may represent the most appropriate
 geographic scale for engaging community interest, whilst linking PLC
 efforts to higher-level institutional frameworks.

Title: The potential role of biochar in combating climate change in Scotland: an analysis of feedstocks, life cycle assessment and spatial dimensions 
Abstract:
  Pyrolysis-super-1 biochar systems (PBS) could assist in meeting the
 Scottish Government's target of a 42% reduction in greenhouse gas
 emissions by 2020 relative to 1990. Drawing on literature review of land
 use and biomass availability in Scotland at present and in the future, and
 using established life cycle assessment models, we find that biochar could
 contribute between 0.4 and 2 MtCO<sub>2</sub> equivalent (e) abatement per
 year in Scotland now (2009), increasing to between 1.4 and 4.2
 MtCO<sub>2</sub>e/yr by 2030 and to between 1.5 and 4.8
 MtCO<sub>2</sub>e/yr by 2050. The practicalities of such biochar
 deployment are explored further through spatial analysis. Through
 multi-criteria decision analysis, various factors are weighed up and
 traded-off against one another to show optimum locations for pyrolysis
 biochar facilities. The factors considered include proximity to sources
 (feedstock for biochar production), sinks (for biochar application), and
 proximity to transport infrastructure etc. Preliminary results show that
 most of the potentially suitable sites are around the central belt
 extending into Fife.

Title: Engaging aboriginal populations in collaborative planning: an evaluation of a two-tiered collaborative planning model for land and resource management 
Abstract:
  This paper evaluates an innovative two-tiered model of collaborative
 planning designed to increase participation of First Nations in resource
 and environmental planning in British Columbia, Canada. Like a one-tiered
 model, the two-tiered model engages stakeholders in face-to-face
 negotiations to develop a consensus plan. However, to finalize an
 agreement, recommendations from the first tier are then sent to a second
 tier of negotiations that includes only two parties -- First Nations and
 the provincial government. This innovative two-tiered collaborative
 process was designed to meet the unique position of First Nations and
 address the problem of low First Nations participation in previous
 single-tiered collaborative planning processes. Results based on 26
 evaluative criteria indicate the two-tiered process was successful in
 increasing First Nations engagement while still meeting the interests of
 non-aboriginal stakeholders who did not participate at the second tier of
 negotiations. However, results also indicate a need to revise the
 two-tiered process to improve buy-in from non-aboriginal stakeholders
 while continuing to respect First Nations' constitutional rights. With
 these revisions, results suggest that a two-tiered collaborative planning
 model is a viable option worthy of consideration for cases in which one or
 more participants, such as aboriginal populations, have unique rights and
 interests that need to be accommodated in the process design.

Title: Creating socio-economic measures for community-based natural resource management: a case from watershed stewardship organisations 
Abstract:
  One consequence of the transition of rural communities from
 industrialised agriculture and natural resource extraction to sustainable
 development principles has been the rise of community-based natural
 resource management (CBNRM). CBNRM entails collaborative efforts,
 typically involving local, state and federal agencies, private firms and
 landowners, non-governmental organisations such as environmental and
 economic development groups, and watershed councils. There are no
 agreed-upon metrics or even broadly accepted approaches for assessing the
 effectiveness of these new institutions. A good deal of work has been done
 on evaluating collaborative processes and some on environmental outcomes,
 but almost none on the socio-economic effects of their activities. To help
 fill the gap we have been conducting a long-term action research project
 in Oregon, an analysis of the most effective approaches to the design and
 implementation of measures of the socio-economic health of communities in
 which watershed stewardship organisations are active. In this paper we
 present one case, a participatory process developing socio-economic
 measures for monitoring CBNRM. We describe the process and the resulting
 measures. It is expected that the measures will be systematically updated
 and tracked by the community over the next decade or more. The case study
 illustrates the necessity and challenges of developing measures for CBNRM
 that are locally meaningful.

Title: Examining the contradiction in &#x2018;sustainable urban growth&#x2019;: an example of groundwater sustainability 
Abstract:
  The environmental planning literature proposes a set of &#x2018;best
 management practices&#x2019; for urban development that assumes
 improvement in environmental quality as a result of specific urban
 patterns. These best management practices, however, often do not recognise
 finite biophysical limits and social impacts that urban patterns alone
 cannot overcome. To shed light on this debate, we explore the effects of
 different degrees of urban clustering on groundwater levels using a
 coupled land-use change and groundwater-flow model. Our simulations show
 that specific urban forms only slow down the impact on groundwater. As
 population increases, the pattern in which it is accommodated ceases to
 matter, and widespread depletion ensues. These results are predictable,
 yet current planning practice tends to take growth for granted and is
 reluctant to envision either no-growth scenarios or the prospect of
 depletion. We propose to use simulations such as those presented here to
 aid in policy discussions that allow decision makers to question the
 assumption of sustainable growth and suggest alternative forms of
 development.

Title: Waste dynamics in economic and policy transitions: decoupling, convergence and spatial effects 
Abstract:
  Taking an economic-geographical perspective, through a panel analysis of
 Italian municipal solid waste (MSW) data, we show that although decoupling
 for waste generation from income is absent, there are some signs of
 absolute decoupling for landfilled waste. Within this general picture,
 geographical and socio-economic differentiation across Italian provinces
 seems to matter. Spatial effects at the level of provinces -- the
 institutions that primarily manage waste regulations -- seem to be
 negligible, especially for landfilled waste. This is consistent with the
 fact that the definition and implementation of landfill policy effectively
 happened at sub-provincial (even municipal) levels; as a result, the
 recent waste policy decentralisation process has been characterised by
 fragmented actions. In light of this fragmentation, we note that although
 North-South waste performances show some signs of convergence, greater
 co-ordination aimed at complete convergence in waste performance, in a
 decentralised policy scenario, will be needed for the effective
 achievement of EU national based targets by a federal country.

  In this paper, we examine the extent to which three conservation
 organisations (one local, one national and one international), working in
 East Texas, variously integrate local cultural models of conservation and
 scientific theories into their programmes. We hypothesised that the local
 level organisation, whose members were primarily from East Texas, would
 construct conservation programmes that speak to local cultural models of
 land and conservation, and the non-local organisations, with mandates
 crafted outside of the region, would actively promote conservation
 science. We found the opposite to be true. We discuss the reason for this
 seeming contradiction in terms of the need for legitimacy at different
 scales, combined with the particular history of the local organisation.

Title: Using policy to promote participatory planning: an examination of Minnesota's Lake Improvement Districts from the citizen perspective 
Abstract:
  Increased development around Minnesota's lakes and their respective
 watersheds has degraded lake health in counties surrounding the St. Paul
 and Minneapolis metro areas. Confronted with the implications of degraded
 lakes, such as loss of property values and declining recreational
 experiences, lakefront landowners, and those using the lake for
 recreation, are increasingly looking for meaningful ways to engage in
 activities to improve lake water quality. Even with increased citizen
 interest in lake management issues, state and county agencies are
 struggling to find effective methods that transform citizen interest into
 citizen action. We examine the Minnesota Lake Improvement District (LID)
 Law as a mechanism for formally involving lakefront homeowners in the
 design and implementation of lake management actions from the citizen
 perspective. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews with LID participants
 were used to explore what citizens perceived tobe benefits and challenges
 of the programme. Findings provide insight to environmental planners
 regarding citizen perceptions of pursuing a participatory management
 approach in which citizens are able to request a new taxing district to
 fund their desired lake management activities.

Title: The governance of REDD+: an institutional analysis in the Asia Pacific region and beyond 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the changing nature of North/South relations in
 contemporary climate change governance. Focusing on the United Nations
 Collaborative Programme to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
 Degradation (REDD+), the paper presents a theoretical framework, through
 which stakeholder perceptions of REDD+ governance quality and
 institutional legitimacy can be evaluated. This is tested by means of a
 small-<italic>n</italic> survey of state and non-state participants from
 both the developed and developing countries, including the Asia-Pacific
 region. The survey results reveal generally higher ratings for REDD+
 amongst Southern participants than in the North. A number of caveats are
 placed on the interpretation of data, and some conclusions drawn regarding
 contemporary climate governance and the emergence of a possible
 &#x2018;South/North Divide&#x2019;, challenging traditional notions of
 global power politics.

Title: Illegal waste disposal in the time of the mafia: a tale of enforcement and social well being 
Abstract:
  The current waste crisis in Italy is the most recent evidence that
 criminal organisations can impact waste management heavily. Nonetheless,
 this aspect has been neglected by current literature. We take the first
 step in filling this gap by developing a model which allows for the
 presence of a criminal organisation which extorts (socially costly) rent
 from agents willing to perform illegal disposal. In a setting where the
 public authority acts as a Stackelberg leader with respect to the mafia,
 we assume, coherently through real life observation, that enforcement
 efforts can only hit the criminal organisation: agents are therefore
 subject to indirect enforcement via the mafia extortion. Our main
 conclusion suggests that the presence of the mafia can lead to an increase
 in the level of economic activity and to less enforcement; under certain
 conditions, the related benefits can offset the damages from increases in
 illegal disposal and the social costs of the mafia's rent. These results
 provide a possible theoretical rationale for authorities' tolerance of the
 mafia in the waste cycle, and contribute to the explanation of some
 surprising stylised facts in the Italian case.

Title: The potential use of biochar in reclaiming degraded rangelands 
Abstract:
  Many of the world's rangelands are degraded due to either natural or
 anthropogenic causes. One of the main indicators of the degradation
 process is the depletion of the organic carbon stocks in the soil. The
 organic carbon plays a crucial role in supporting the soil microbial
 community, maintaining the soil structure formation and stability, and
 retaining water and nutrients in the uppermost soil layers. Biochar, the
 by-product of the pyrolysis technology for bio-energy production, has been
 proven to have the capability to efficiently maintain soil quality and
 increase vegetative production. At the same time, the inert nature of the
 biochar enables the long-term sequestration of carbon in soil. To date,
 the application of biochar has been examined almost exclusively in arable
 lands, but not yet in rangelands. The objective of this paper is to raise
 awareness of this topic in order to encourage research and development in
 this field. Progress in knowledge and understanding on this matter could
 contribute to the reclamation of degraded rangelands. At the same time, it
 would potentially increase their capacity for long-term sequestration of
 carbon to a rate of between 0.69 and 10.7 Pg. Large-scale implementation
 of this practice in the future should be funded through central
 authorities, based on payments for improvement in ecosystem services.

Title: Integrated networks. A territorial planning proposal for biodiversity conservation in urban, densely populated regions. The case of the Autonomous Region of Madrid, Spain 
Abstract:
  Just like many other natural areas in urban, industrialised regions
 worldwide, the protected areas of the Autonomous Region of Madrid suffer
 from two main threats which can compromise long-term biodiversity
 conservation: land use changes towards artificial uses and massive tourism
 pressure. To address both threats and achieve effective sustainable
 development in the region, this paper proposes a GIS, ecology-driven,
 biodiversity-oriented model based on sound territorial planning whose
 underlying theory can be exported to other regions with similar
 characteristics. This model is based on three different protected networks
 with a decreasing degree of protection and an increasing degree of public
 use intensity, respectively. It underpins the conservation aims of
 protected areas, considers the importance of the territorial matrix and
 allows a wide range of recreational and economic uses across the
 territory.

Title: Payments for ecosystem services in Amazonia. The challenge of land use heterogeneity in agricultural frontiers near Cruzeiro do Sul (Acre,Brazil) 
Abstract:
  Amazonia became a target area for Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES)
 initiatives in deforestation. We analysed the implementation of a PES
 scheme in Acre (Brazil) by taking into account land use heterogeneity in
 an agricultural frontier. Justified by the modernisation of deforestation
 control policies, the programme promotes agricultural intensification
 through fire-free practices. In this way, the PES tends to focus on
 long-established settlements, where farmers are wealthier and the
 landscape is dominated by pasture. Agricultural intensification may be
 adapted to foster reforestation. In order to curb deforestation a specific
 policy is needed for targeting remote areas where initial stages of
 deforestation usually take place. Bypromoting only land sparing, PES
 programmes in Amazonia may lose sight oftheir socio-economic and
 environmental objectives due to limited spatial targeting.

Title: A monopoly with pollution emissions 
Abstract:
  This study focused on pollution emissions. It considered a monopoly
 industry, and the monopolist's pollution emissions were addressed. The
 equilibrium price, social welfare and the monopolist's profit were all
 characterised. The theoretical conclusion was confirmed that there should
 be a special type of emissions tax. Social welfare and the monopolist's
 profit both monotonically increased, with increases in the maximum
 acceptable amount of pollution emitted. The quantity of the products was
 higher than that at the social optimum. Strict policies can efficiently
 reduce waste emissions, the quantity of products and social welfare.

Title: Are LULUs still enduringly objectionable? 
Abstract:
  We asked a national sample of 651 US residents about the feelings,
 emotions, images and colours they associated with nearby waste management,
 energy, industrial facilities and other big developments commonly regarded
 as locally unwanted land uses (LULUs). The respondents showed the expected
 dislike of them, picking &#x2018;bad&#x2019;, &#x2018;fear&#x2019;,
 &#x2018;polluted&#x2019;, red and black to describe them more than
 &#x2018;safe&#x2019;, &#x2018;secure&#x2019;, &#x2018;jobs&#x2019; and
 other positive descriptors and images. Waste management facilities,
 especially nuclear ones, had the most negative labels, and coal and gas
 energy facilities had fewer than anticipated. This survey occurred prior
 to the events in the Fukushima plant in Japan. However, even before those
 events LULU concerns endured and nuclear facilities and chemical and metal
 plants were the most distressing to the public as a whole.

Title: Valuation of trips to second homes: do environmental attributes matter? 
Abstract:
  We use Finnish data to estimate the extent of the recreation benefits
 obtained from visits to second homes. Special emphasis is placed on how
 environmental attributes of second homes influence the recreation value of
 visits. The impacts are valued using the travel cost method. We estimate
 the recreation value to be about approximately &#x20AC;170-- 205 per trip.
 The aggregate non-market benefits of the use of the current summer home
 stock are considerable -- approximately &#x20AC;500 million per annum. The
 presence of algae that prevent aquatic recreation decreases the value per
 trip by 40%, and the lack of a beach reduces it by 45%; electrification
 increases the value by 3--5%. These impacts should be balanced against the
 social costs of second homes when designing environmental policies on
 leisure-time housing.

Title: The influence of cheap talk on willingness-to-pay ranges: some empirical evidence from a contingent valuation study 
Abstract:
  Different instruments have been developed to mitigate the hypothetical
 bias in contingent valuation surveys. One, labelled &#x2018;cheap
 talk&#x2019;, warns participants about the hypothetical bias phenomenon
 prior to the valuation question. This paper investigates the effects of
 cheap talk on willingness-to-pay ranges, in a case study on remote
 mountain lakes. An open-ended follow-up question is added to a payment
 ladder to elicit the maximum amount an individual would definitely pay and
 the minimum amount above which they would definitely refuse to pay. The
 main conclusion is that cheap talk has no influence on the width of
 people&#x2019;s willingness-to-pay range, but is effective at lowering the
 mean willingness-to-pay.

Title: From the motorways of the sea to the green corridors' carbon footprint: the case of a port in Spain 
Abstract:
  Green corridors are a European concept denoting long-distance freight
 transport corridors where advanced technology and co-modality are used to
 achieve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Green corridors
 consider all types of agents acting in the door-to-door co-modality
 chains, including ports. Carbon footprints (CF) provide companies,
 customers and other agents with information related to greenhouse gas
 (GHG) emissions from the supply chain of products, identifying key points,
 potential risks and opportunities for improvement. Its application in both
 the logistic networks and all modes of transport would allow for the
 creation of green corridors and sustainable motorways of the sea. This
 paper describes the method which is composed of financial accounts (MC3)
 used to estimate the CF of a port. It shows the effects of the method on
 the Port of Gij&#xF3;n (PAG), which steers the existing
 Gij&#xF3;n/Nantes/Saint-Nazaire motorway of the sea. The extension of the
 system to all nodes of the shipping line and other transport modes will
 lead in the long run to a carbon-neutral green corridor. Our findings show
 the importance of looking at indirect emissions in order to become a
 carbon neutral port.

Title: The empirical relationship between openness and environmental pollution in China 
Abstract:
  By using a vector autoregression (VAR) model, this paper examines the
 relationship between openness and environmental degradation in China. The
 empirical results suggest that, during 1981--2008, the long-run
 equilibrium relation between China's foreign trade, foreign direct
 investment (FDI) and industrial pollutants can be positive or negative,
 depending on the pollutants concerned. Therefore it is hard to say whether
 openness is good or bad for the environment in China. Moreover, a
 short-run causality test reveals that China's exports expansion leads to
 an increase in sulphur dioxide (SO<sub>2</sub>) emissions, while imports
 and FDI enlargement result in the growth of solid waste generation. On the
 other hand, China's control of SO<sub>2</sub> emissions discourages its
 exports, whereas control of wastewater discharge encourages its imports.

Title: Total landscape values: a multi-dimensional approach 
Abstract:
  Landscape involves several sources of valuation (for example, ecological,
 economic, social) which are advisable to integrate into an evaluation. The
 notion of Total Economic Value, distinguishing use values and non-use
 values, allows for reporting of the many features of a landscape. However,
 a purely monetary definition of these values does not allow for reporting
 of the multi-dimensionality of stakes inherent in landscape management. We
 propose to reinterpret the value of the landscape within a framework of
 multi-dimensional analysis, based on the distinction of three levels of
 stakes (profitability, strategic and identity) bound to the management of
 space. We will demonstrate under which conditions (decision rules and
 decision-making tools) it is possible to implement this multi-dimensional
 approach to value, and to integrate the landscape as a real criterion of
 decision making in development projects.

Title: Assessing habitat connectivity for land-use planning: a method integrating landscape graphs and Delphi survey 
Abstract:
  Increasing fragmentation is occurring in most valley floors in Alpine
 regions, where urbanization and infrastructure development are reducing
 connectivity among remnant natural areas. This undermines the conservation
 of alpine biodiversity. Using a landscape graph-based approach, we
 visualized and assessed the dispersal opportunities for three target
 species (<italic>Rana synk. esculenta</italic>, <italic>Erinaceus
 europaeus</italic>, <italic>Moscardinus avellanarius</italic>) on a
 municipal scale. We considered the barrier effect caused by landscape
 objects, such as linear infrastructures and artificial land covers.
 Species-specific barrier effects were estimated through a Delphi survey
 involving 25 experts. The information collected was then used to draw a
 landscape graph of local connections and to estimate the functioning of
 the networks of habitat patches in terms of their capability of sustaining
 local populations of target species. The methodology was applied in an
 alpine valley floor in Trentino, northern Italy, and resulted in the
 mapping of all possible and remnant linkages between habitat patches in
 its current state. The approach may provide a better qualitative
 understanding of the impacts of proposed land-use changes, and was found
 to be particularly helpful in contexts where availability of data is
 limited.

Title: Recent advances in sustainable multifunctional land and urban management in Europe: a review 
Abstract:
  This review discusses high impact research in sustainable urban and land
 management. The focus is on large European projects that have a holistic
 and multi-disciplinary assessment approach towards the total environment.
 This paper clearly indicates that many projects propose decision-making
 tools partly supported by numerical models. Successful projects were
 identified as applying the following criteria: a communicative and
 holistic approach involving economic, environmental and social sciences
 throughout the project; sufficient geographic coverage; engagement of
 stakeholders from a wide variety of sectors; and plans for dissemination
 of project outcomes and active knowledge sharing.

Title: How to better consider sectoral planning information in regional planning: example afforestation and forest conversion 
Abstract:
  This paper presents, by means of a case study, an approach for how to
 make use of sectoral planning information on forestry in regional
 planning. Exemplary issues addressed in this study were, first, how to
 evaluate the conversion of existing forests and, second, afforestation on
 agricultural sites, regarding the impact of these strategies on the
 provision of ecosystem services at a regional scale. We demonstrate that
 the conversion scenarios planned by the state forest administration have
 only a minor impact at the regional scale because the proportion of
 forests is too small. As a consequence, recommendations for regional
 planning were to: (a) considerably increase the planned afforestation
 areas under consideration of the locally suitable future forest ecosystem
 types; and (b) concentrate preference areas for afforestation along
 corridors, which augment, at most, the additional benefits provided by
 connecting the biotopes at the landscape level.

Title: Equity-based optimisation of regional water pollutant discharge amount allocation: a case study in the Tai Lake Basin 
Abstract:
  Regional allowance allocation not only matters for regional economic
 efficiency but also for fairness between regions or companies. It is
 important to work out a fair and reasonable allocation method to achieve
 China's goal of the gross control of pollutant discharge. This research
 developed an equity-based optimisation for a regional water pollutant
 discharge allowance allocation method, which is based on the Gini
 coefficient of considering socio-economic and environmental factors.
 Taking the Tai Lake Basin in Jiangsu Province as an example, this paper
 optimised the present state of distribution on the basis of an assessment
 of fairness of the current discharge allowance allocation status. The
 optimised allowance allocation results of the Tai Lake Basin were distinct
 from other allocation methods, and reduced the inequity of regional
 allowance allocation. However, the stress of equity cannot give full
 consideration to both environmental and economic efficiency targets.
 Connecting the allocation of discharge targets with an emission trading
 system was proposed to address the shortcomings of the Gini coefficient
 based method.

Title: A cost-benefit analysis of relocating a polluting factory 
Abstract:
  This study examines the economic viability of relocating polluting
 industrial factories from densely populated residential areas to
 designated industrial zones. This solution requires a significant economic
 investment consisting of relocating and remediating costs. This solution
 has a direct financial benefit, due to the alternative value of the land
 on which the factory currently stands, as it can be converted to more
 attractive uses. In many cases, this direct benefit does not cover the
 costs, therefore it is not economically feasible to transfer the plant.
 However, it is possible that relocating a factory in these cases is
 economically feasible from a national perspective, as the factory's
 current location may cause a decline in nearby property values, while
 relocating it may result in an increase in property values. Nevertheless,
 in these cases, government intervention may be required. This paper
 presents a case study for such a situation -- analysing the case of the
 Ta'as Magen factory, a severely polluted site located in the heart of
 Israel's main metropolitan area. This analysis reveals that the indirect
 benefits of relocating the factory and remediating the site are
 considerably greater than the direct benefits, and outweigh all required
 costs.

Title: Extreme sports in natural areas: looming disaster or a catalyst for a paradigm shift in land use planning? 
Abstract:
  Historically, visitors&#x2019; motives for visiting protected areas
 included &#x2018;rest, relaxation and reinvigoration&#x2019;. Ecological
 impacts were typically low. Recent trends have increased use of protected
 areas for extreme sports, with greater numbers undertaking more active
 recreation, such as extreme sports. The effect of this trend is
 considered, together with potential management options. We propose that
 the development of appropriately targeted and delivered educational
 programmes could minimise environmental degradation. However, to maximise
 ecological conservation in protected lands we consider that a major
 paradigm shift is required. This will require a more strategic, holistic
 approach to planning and managing outdoor recreation/sport destinations
 incorporating collaboration across stakeholders. Based on past experience,
 to continue with the current model will ultimately accelerate biodiversity
 loss, degradation of protected areas, and loss of recreational amenity.

Title: Role of indigenous M&#x101;ori people in collaborative water governance in Aotearoa/New Zealand 
Abstract:
  Informed by debates in recent literature on indigenous peoples&#x2019;
 role in water governance, our research examines recent initiatives to
 enhance the role of M&#x101;ori in water governance in Aotearoa/New
 Zealand based on the case of recently reinvented hybrid governance
 arrangements for Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere. The water governance landscape
 in New Zealand has been significantly reconfigured in the last 25 years,
 with wide-ranging changes precipitated by the neo-liberal agendas of
 recent governments. Running alongside this neo-liberal agenda was the
 revival of indigenous rights language during the 1970s, a reflection of
 growing political recognition of the aboriginal customary natural resource
 ownership and management rights. Set within this geo-political context, we
 argue that three factors, property rights, globalisation and the
 regulatory planning environment for management, both enable and constrain
 indigenous people to govern natural resources within a post-colonial
 society such as New Zealand.

Title: Barriers to and opportunities for effective cumulative impact assessment within state-level environmental review frameworks in the United States 
Abstract:
  In the US, relatively little research has been done in recent years to
 inform the development and implementation of cumulative impact assessment
 (CIA) policy. Past studies have primarily focused on the requirements and
 practices of the National Environmental Policy Act, but little is known
 about the challenges and opportunities relating to CIA practices at the
 state level. By analysing data from a national survey of state
 environmental review programme administrators, this study identified the
 inability of state programmes to facilitate CIA practices as a major
 barrier to effective implementation, particularly reflected by the
 perceived lack of explicit procedures and data for conducting CIA.
 Important strategies for improvement included adopting detailed guidelines
 specifying what to include in an assessment and developing institutional
 mechanisms to encourage state agency co-ordination. Some differences in
 perception were observed across programmes due to the different types of
 state-level environmental review frameworks within which cumulative
 impacts are assessed. In addition, administrators from programmes without
 CIA requirements seemed to overestimate the cost and time needed to
 implement CIA. Changing their perception may contribute to the adoption of
 CIA procedures in these states.

Title: The diffusion process of no-tillage with herbicides application in Southern Spain's olive groves 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses the processes of both the adoption and diffusion of
 no-tillage and of the type of application of herbicides among Southern
 Spain's olive farmers, using data from a farm survey. We estimate several
 probit models to identify some socio-economic and institutional factors
 related to the decision to use each practice of no-tillage on a regular
 basis and several diffusion models to describe the spatial and temporal
 spread of no-tillage among farmers. Our results show that no-tillage is
 practised by 90% of surveyed farmers either with the localised (21%) or
 non-localised (69%) application of herbicides. The diffusion process of
 no-tillage has been very intense since the mid-1990s, and has been based
 on the interaction among farmers in the area of study rather than on
 external factors. Some characteristics related to the adoption of each
 practice are farm size, irrigation and the continuity of the farming
 activity by some relative.

Title: Limits to decoupling strategies for sustainable housing development: the Hangzhou experience 
Abstract:
  Since the national urban housing reform in the 1990s, the Hangzhou
 Metropolitan Area in China has been experiencing a construction boom and
 an extraordinary growth of the residential building stock. Housing has
 made up an important part of the physical urban development and regional
 economic growth. The metropolitan area authorities aim to pursue
 sustainable housing development by adopting decoupling strategies
 emphasising efficient use of resources. However, in spite of these
 strategies, a study of Hangzhou's actual rates of decoupling between
 economic growth, housing sector growth and negative environmental impacts
 indicates only weak decoupling and a tendency of declining degrees of
 decoupling (if present at all) during the latest two decades. Limits of
 decoupling strategies for sustainable housing development are discussed in
 the light of these findings. The paper concludes with a recommendation to
 take growth containment into China's policies towards sustainable
 development, while at the same time guaranteeing a decent living standard
 among citizens.

Title: Exploring a city's potential low carbon futures using Delphi methods: some preliminary findings 
Abstract:
  This paper describes a Delphi methodology to generate a number of broadly
 consensual low carbon scenarios for 2050. This approach to
 &#x2018;creating&#x2019; the future, rather than predicting, is useful
 when dealing with profound and uncertain change over a long period of time
 and is therefore suited to carbon management. The methodology is
 described, and the first stage of the consultation process is discussed
 with reference to its application in the UK city region of Bristol.
 Findings from the first round have resulted in the identification of seven
 working scenarios and patterns in the responses of individuals from
 different backgrounds, suggesting that strong world-views and agendas are
 present within groups. Subsequent rounds of a questionnaire and a
 backcasting workshop will refine these working scenarios and identify
 pathways to achieve them.

Title: Applying an ecosystem services approach to supplemental environmental projects 
Abstract:
  This paper defines an ecosystem services approach to guide stakeholders
 through the major steps of the Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP)
 programme of the US Environmental Protection Agency and state
 environmental offices. The SEP programme is focused on implementing
 &#x2018;environmentally beneficial&#x2019; projects that compensate the
 environment and the community for adverse effects of violations of
 environmental regulations. A literature review reveals that the federal
 programme is greatly under-used by violators despite its enormous
 opportunities to enhance the human-environment relationship. The SEP
 programme shares major commonalities with ecosystem service concepts and
 these can be leveraged to define a structured framework, wherein ecosystem
 services can play a key role for formulating, evaluating, selecting,
 implementing and assessing SEPs. Concepts set forth in this paper
 represent a first step towards mainstreaming an ecosystem services
 approach in the SEP programme. Further research is needed to assess the
 applicability of the framework to different categories of SEPs.

Title: Towards improving strategic environmental assessment follow-up through stakeholder participation: a case of the Pasquia-Porcupine Forest Management Plan, Saskatchewan, Canada 
Abstract:
  Stakeholder participation is a vital component of successful Strategic
 Environmental Assessment (SEA). SEA, an evaluation of environmental and
 sustainability consequences of strategic initiatives prior to their
 implementation, seeks to ensure that various stakeholder perspectives are
 considered early in the strategic decision-making process. However, once
 the implementation decisions are taken, are the stakeholders consulted
 with, or involved in, strategy implementation and SEA follow-up? If so,
 how can participatory processes benefit delivery of strategies and
 follow-up? These questions remain largely unexplored due to the
 conventional focus on <italic>ex ante</italic> SEA and limited knowledge
 about SEA follow-up. This paper explores the role and potential of
 stakeholder participation processes in facilitating SEA follow-up in the
 case of a 20-year Pasquia-Porcupine Forest Management Plan (FMP), in
 Saskatchewan (Canada). It explores different forms of stakeholder
 participation in the FMP and SEA follow-up implementation and identifies
 the associated benefits for SEA follow-up.

Title: Environmental regulation and wages in China 
Abstract:
  In this study we examine the extent to which firms pass back the cost of
 pollution regulation to workers, in the form of lower wages, using a
 unique matched employer-employee dataset for Shanghai. The benefits and
 costs of pollution regulation in China are important topics to study as
 China comes under increasing pressure to move from a single-minded focus
 on energy-driven economic growth to a more balanced approach to economic
 growth. The benefits of such a shift, particularly in terms of health, are
 relatively well studied, but the costs are less so. The hip-pocket effect
 of pollution regulation on workers' wages is particularly important, given
 that it is likely to influence public support for a more balanced
 approach. Our main finding is that the reduction in average wages
 attributable to firms taking measures to control for pollution is between
 13.8% and 18.8%, all things being equal.

Title: Optimising the effect of policy instruments: a study of farmers' decision rationales and how they match the incentives in Danish pesticide policy 
Abstract:
  Economic modelling generally assumes that businesses are profit
 maximisers. However, behavioural economics holds that businesses pursue
 multiple objectives and may even sacrifice some profit. This has
 implications for the effectiveness of incentive-based environmental
 policies. Using Danish farmers as a case, this paper examines whether
 non-economic rationales may trump economic ones in farmer decisions, and,
 unlike previous research, we quantify how widespread non-economic values
 are compared to more economic values. Data derive from a survey (1164
 responses) of Danish conventional farmers' decision rationales regarding
 their use of pesticides. Using cluster analysis, we show that some farmers
 are more economically motivated while other farmers are more focused on
 optimising yield and pay less attention to expenditures and crop prices.
 Furthermore, we find that the two groups differ in their response to
 policy instruments; farmers who focus on yield indicate less
 responsiveness to economic policy instruments. The results imply that it
 is important to implement a broad array of policy instruments to match
 different farmer rationales.

Title: Ecological sustainability -- a customer requirement? Evidence from the automotive industry 
Abstract:
  There are several motives for the adoption of &#x2018;green&#x2019; or
 sustainable materials for car interiors, for example, the shortage of
 fossil resources and the resulting oil-price increase, new legal
 requirements (regulations and laws) which penalise environmental pollution
 and the changing behaviour patterns of consumers. The latter was the
 subject of an empirical study involving 106 potential car buyers, who were
 asked about their attitude to sustainable materials in a car interior.
 Furthermore, consumers' willingness to pay a premium price for a vehicle
 interior made of renewable resources was also analysed. The main
 conclusion is that more than 66% of the respondents would accept green car
 components for a moderate price increase. The relevance and pressure to
 substitute fossil materials with renewable ones can be expected to
 increase. This increase will not only be due to the potential decline of
 resources, but more notably as a result of consumer demand.

Title: Public opinion on energy crops in the landscape: considerations for the expansion of renewable energy from biomass 
Abstract:
  Public attitudes were assessed towards two dedicated biomass crops --
 <italic>Miscanthus</italic> and Short Rotation Coppice (SRC), particularly
 regarding their visual impacts in the landscape. Results are based on
 responses to photographic and computer-generated images as the crops are
 still relatively scarce in the landscape. A questionnaire survey indicated
 little public concern about potential landscape aesthetics but more
 concern about attendant built infrastructure. Focus group meetings and
 interviews indicated support for biomass end uses that bring direct
 benefits to local communities. Questions arise as to how well the imagery
 used was able to portray the true nature of these tall, dense, perennial
 plants but based on the responses obtained and given the caveat that there
 was limited personal experience of the crops, it appears unlikely that
 wide-scale planting of biomass crops will give rise to substantial public
 concern in relation to their visual impact in the landscape.

Title: Implications of floodplain aquaculture enclosure 
Abstract:
  In Bangladesh, extensive common pool fisheries exist in the wet season on
 private lands in the floodplains. This study investigated the trend in
 year-round enclosure of these seasonal commons for private aquaculture and
 the impacts of this practice. The floodplain area enclosed for aquaculture
 was found to be growing at 30--100% a year. Enclosures are organised by
 individual landowners, informal groups or companies that lease in land.
 Aquaculture in enclosures produces more fish than capture fisheries, but
 input costs are high. Traditional fishers report that catches of wild fish
 decline in the floodplains as a whole and there is a loss of livelihood.
 Those with large farms benefit while marginal farmers lose access to
 common aquatic resources and also to land for sharecropping. The landless
 have less fish to eat and sell, but some gain employment. The government
 has encouraged private floodplain aquaculture in recent years. However, it
 is recommended that this trend should be regulated to limit loss of key
 natural fisheries and widening inequality. This should be informed by more
 detailed quantification of the costs and benefits of floodplain
 aquaculture, including fishery and distributional impacts.

Title: Sustaining livelihoods under a changing climate: the case of urban agriculture in Lusaka, Zambia 
Abstract:
  With rapidly deteriorating national and local economies, many urban
 dwellers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are increasingly resorting to a wide
 range of informal sector activities to ameliorate food insecurity and
 generate household income. Among these activities is urban agriculture
 (UA), which is used both as a source of basic foodstuffs and income
 generation to enable access to a wide range of goods and services. These
 may include health care, education, clothing, food and housing. Despite
 its significance and contribution to the urban household food basket, UA
 in many SSA cities has not been integrated into urban development and
 planning policy. In addition to the absence of a supportive local
 government policy, over the last two decades UA has come under increasing
 pressure from extreme weather related events such as droughts and
 flooding. Drawing upon recent field-based research in Lusaka, the capital
 of Zambia, the paper examines the relationships between UA and extreme
 weather conditions, and the impact on the livelihood options of urban
 poor. The research has wider relevance in the context of evolving
 strategies for achieving sustainable urban livelihoods, poverty reduction
 and food security in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere.

Title: Externalities, NIMBY syndrome and marble quarrying activity 
Abstract:
  Marble quarries like any other mining project are faced with NIMBY
 (&#x2018;not-in-my-backyard&#x2019;) reactions, since some negative
 externalities are inevitable. The paper presents a contingent valuation
 survey aimed at investigating a local community's willingness to accept
 (WTA) compensation for allowing the establishment and operation of a
 marble quarry in its surroundings and exploring the determinants
 influencing NIMBY reactions against marble quarrying activity. The
 valuation scenario used involves an annual monetary payment to a community
 fund in order to be more realistic and to lessen the so-called
 &#x2018;bribe effect&#x2019;, which is common in compensation schemes.

Title: An input tax on nitrogen fertiliser pollution in the presence of transaction costs 
Abstract:
  This paper proposes, for different water scarcity conditions, a cost
 efficient input tax policy to supply clean drinking water that is subject
 to contamination by nitrogen fertiliser and to quantify the welfare change
 due to this public control. By introducing a transaction cost component,
 we found that for moderate and relatively high water scarcity conditions
 the results support public intervention. However, for low scarcity
 conditions, our results indicate that welfare change is low or even
 negative, discouraging public intervention. We discuss a policy that
 supports the legal principle of the Polluter Pays Principle (PPP), by
 compensating the victim for the residual pollution not abated by the cost
 efficient solution, without affecting the efficiency criterion.

Title: Community visioning in a transfrontier conservation area in Southern Africa paves the way towards landscapes combining agricultural production and biodiversity conservation 
Abstract:
  This study employed participatory approaches to establish ways of
 engaging local communities within a transfrontier conservation area,
 towards achieving the goals of integrated agricultural production and
 biodiversity conservation at a landscape level, known as ecoagriculture.
 We facilitated farmers' meetings to create charts of local environmental
 and livelihood concerns and of their vision of the future. Water scarcity,
 bad road conditions, unemployment and low harvests emerged among the most
 prevalent concerns. Through a visioning process, participants arrived at a
 desired future that was largely inclined towards improved livelihoods,
 with comparatively little attention on biodiversity enhancement. We
 conclude that stakeholder-driven ecoagriculture could be a sustainable
 strategy to simultaneously achieve the community's vision and the goals of
 transfrontier conservation areas, provided biodiversity management
 strategies are linked to infrastructure improvement and income generating
 activities. We recommend a community visioning process as an effective
 approach to encourage collective action and to support local ownership of
 development programmes.

Title: Explaining disparity in outcome from community-based natural resource management (CBNRM): a case study in Chilimo Forest, Ethiopia 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the constraints on achieving positive social and
 environmental outcomes from community-based natural resource management
 (CBNRM) in Ethiopia, a rarely researched country. A comparative case study
 on successful and failed CBNRM in a pioneering and influential CBNRM
 project revealed the important determinant for disparity in outcome to be
 whether the existing collective decision-making arrangements on use rights
 and benefit-sharing support the members to whom those benefits are
 salient. Institutionalising CBNRM in government forest policy and
 improving the capacity to implement it are recommended to improve current
 conditions.

Title: An auction scheme for land use change in Sichuan Province, China 
Abstract:
  This paper presents the application of an auction scheme for the
 allocation of funds for environmentally improving land use change (LUC)
 amongst farm households in Sichuan Province, China. Competing bids were
 ranked using their benefit to cost ratios. Results show that the auction
 approach can be both practically feasible and efficient in the Chinese
 context. The auction approach was 15% more cost-effective than the status
 quo fixed payment afforestation programme. The auction approach was also
 more closely targeted to achieve environmental improvements. Potential
 improvements to the auction process would be achieved through increased
 heterogeneity across bids and lower transaction costs from taking bids
 from aggregations of farmers.

Title: Resistance versus resilience approaches in road planning and design in delta areas: Mekong floodplains in Cambodia and Vietnam 
Abstract:
  Engineering works in river basins that explicitly take into account
 floodplain hydraulic processes and dynamics, demonstrate a move towards
 more sustainable development in riparian areas. In this paper, this
 concept is applied to road planning and design in floodplains. The paper
 suggests that although a resilience strategy might require higher initial
 investments than a resistance strategy, in the longer term it will result
 in lower costs in terms of road damage and ecological damage. Results are
 presented from four cases in the Mekong floodplains where different
 strategies towards road planning, varying in resilience, have been
 assessed for their hydraulic, ecological, social and economic impacts
 based on a combination of modelling results, expert judgement and
 secondary data sources. The study finds that, with the exception of
 extreme cases, the impact of roads has a limited impact on the floodplain
 hydraulics. However, even small changes in flood dynamics (arrival of the
 peak, duration) may have large ecological impacts, especially if
 cumulative impacts of more road developments are taken into account. The
 results illustrate that road planning and design in floodplains is a
 complicated task that requires an integrated approach.

Title: Transformative learning theory, public involvement, and natural resource and environmental management 
Abstract:
  This paper reviews studies of transformative learning through public
 involvement in natural resource and environmental management (NREM). It
 summarises evidence regarding instrumental, communicative, transformative
 and sustainability-oriented learning outcomes, and learning processes such
 as reflection, rational discourse and applying new frames of references in
 individual and social action. The paper discusses the implications for the
 design of NREM and public involvement, and presents a new framework
 connecting non-formal education, involvement in NREM, transformative
 learning and sustainability. The paper concludes with suggestions for
 promising future research, such as scaling up transformative learning in
 the context of NREM, including examining potential complementarities with
 leading models of social and organisational learning.

Title: Transformative learning for better resource management: the role of critical reflection 
Abstract:
  Since 1992, integrated management has been promoted as the solution to
 challenges facing governments and civil society around the world when
 managing natural resources. It was argued that integrated management could
 lead to sustainable development if new participatory approaches to social
 learning could be developed. Since that time, social learning theory has
 been an important component of resource management literature. This paper
 argues that until social learning theory leans more heavily on group
 processes of transformative learning, sustainable development will elude
 us. Further, a process of systematic, critical reflection is key to
 transformative learning, as we illustrate using a five-year research
 project into the role of communities in integrated management in the
 Canadian Maritimes. Our experience shows how critical reflection processes
 can strengthen participatory research to further inform the practice of
 integrated management. We conclude by observing that room must be made for
 critical reflection and for true social learning in all integrated
 management institutions, whether community-based or government-initiated.

Title: Greening regions: the effect of social entrepreneurship, co-decision and co-creation on the embrace of good sustainable development practices 
Abstract:
  Adoption of Local Agenda 21 (LA21) in Europe has been very uneven.
 However, the embrace (or eager adoption) of LA21-like tools by local
 governments is usually considered as a requisite to achieve the
 sustainable development (SD) global aims. This research analyses a
 successful networking practice in the Basque Country (BC) over an 8-year
 period in order to identify the main dimensions that explain the embrace
 of LA21 by Local Governments (LGs). The Basque experience is studied using
 a qualitative and a quantitative approach. Results show that the factors
 of entrepreneurial presence (at the regional and local levels),
 co-decision and co-creation have an effect on local government embrace of
 the LA21. We also study the motivational mechanisms underlying co-decision
 and co-creation.

 off Delaware, and compares responses in 2005 or 2006 with 2009. On Cape
 Cod, compared with 2005, a majority (57%) now supports Cape Wind. Support
 in Delaware has remained relatively constant since 2006, reaching 80% in
 2009. Questions examined reasons for support or opposition. A desire for
 energy independence is an increasingly significant reason for support in
 both areas and has motivated some individuals to switch from opposition to
 support. Conversely, those who switched from support to opposition said
 they were most concerned about fishing and recreational boating impacts.

Title: Public acceptance of offshore wind power: does perceived fairness of process matter? 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses the findings of recent mail surveys of residents
 living near two proposed offshore wind power projects -- Cape Wind off
 Massachusetts and Bluewater Wind off Delaware. In 2009, 57% supported Cape
 Wind, while 80% supported Bluewater Wind. To measure the relationship
 between perceptions of public process and substantive support or
 opposition, we assessed opinions of procedural fairness, local community
 voice and trust in developers. A plurality ofresidents in both cases is
 relatively satisfied with the process, while statistical modelling
 suggests that satisfaction with the process and outcome may be mutually
 reinforcing or jointly determined.

Title: Land suitability analysis for Tabriz County, Iran: a multi-criteria evaluation approach using GIS 
Abstract:
  In our research we investigated the optimal utilization of land resources
 for agricultural production in Tabriz County, Iran. A GIS-based Multi
 Criteria Decision Making land suitability analysis was performed. Hereby,
 several suitability factors including soils, climatic conditions, and
 water availability were evaluated, based on expert knowledge from
 stakeholders at various levels. An Analytical Hierarchical Process was
 used to rank the various suitability factors and the resulting weights
 were used to construct the suitability map layers. In doing so, the
 derived weights were used, and subsequently land suitability maps for
 irrigated and dry-farm agriculture were created. Finally, a synthesized
 land suitability map was generated by combining these maps and by
 comparing the product with current land use SPOT 5 satellite images. The
 resulting suitability maps indicate the areas, in which the intensity of
 land use for agriculture should increase, decrease or remain unchanged.
 Our investigations have revealed that 65676 hectares may be suitable for
 irrigation and 120872 hectares may be suitable for dry-farm agriculture.
 This indicates a substantial potential to satisfy the significantly
 increasing regional demand for agricultural products. The results of our
 research have been provided to the regional authorities and will be used
 in strategic land use planning.

Title: Sustainable surface water management and green infrastructure in UK urban catchment planning 
Abstract:
  Based on the analysis of impervious surface cover and water balance
 studies, it is argued that conventional, separately-sewered
 first-generation and alternative second-generation sustainable drainage
 systems (SUDS) cannot provide a fully sustainable surface water management
 approach for urban catchment planning. An extended approach based on the
 introduction of micro-and meso-vegetative SUDS systems into a wider green
 infrastructure (GI) framework is advocated to effectively address on-site
 and catchment urban surface water issues. The approach is based on the
 integrated planning implementation of street &#x2018;greening&#x2019;,
 with optimisation of existing biofiltration SUDS solutions, together with
 green roofs, downspout disconnection and sub-catchment riparian corridors
 to achieve a minimum 25--30% canopy cover level. A
 &#x2018;leaf-out&#x2019; inventory procedure using GIS and satellite
 imagery can be employed to assess potential vegetative SUDS locations and
 types, and their likely impact upon the urban water cycle and receiving
 water health. However, there is a need to ensure that GI elements are
 incorporated into planning approaches and protocols for urban drainage
 infrastructure provision.

Title: Measuring environmental impact at the neighbourhood level 
Abstract:
  We propose that community assessments of environmental impact are
 increasingly more relevant to planners and policy makers when reported at
 finer scales of analysis. Using the Town of Oakville, Ontario, as an
 example, we calculate neighbourhood level ecological footprint values for
 241 neighbourhoods. Ecological footprint results range from 5.4 global
 hectares per capita to 15.2 global hectares per capita, with an average
 ecological footprint for Oakville of 9.0 global hectares per capita. Our
 results highlight variability in energy and material flows within a
 community, providing planners and policy makers detailed information to
 prioritise programme delivery, allocate limited resources, and support
 policy development. The lower range of neighbourhood ecological footprint
 values suggests a potential footprint floor for Oakville of around 5
 hectares per capita. The notion of a footprint floor has implications for
 setting community footprint targets and understanding the magnitude of
 change needed for significant ecological footprint reductions.

Title: Role of India's forests in climate change mitigation through the CDM and REDD+&#xA0; 
Abstract:
  Forestry is at the centre-stage of global climate change negotiations as
 it is a low cost carbon mitigation option. Forests have the potential to
 be a source as well as sink for carbon emissions. The main aim of this
 paper is to provide a useful snapshot of the carbon value of India's
 forests, and give a glimpse of the potential of India's forests to offset
 both India's and the world's carbon emissions. This paper also highlights
 the initiatives taken by India towards the implementation of
 REDD+&#xA0;and the status of REDD+&#xA0;in a few other countries.

Title: Relocation of farming land for alleviating land subsidence: a case study of Taiwan 
Abstract:
  Land subsidence attributable to the overuse of groundwater has resulted
 in severe damage in both urban and rural areas and in developed and
 developing countries. By incorporating the externality of groundwater use
 in aquacultural farming, we analyse how the government can mitigate the
 land subsidence levels without reducing the farmers&#x2019; profits, by
 both reusing the retired aquacultural land and through adjustments in the
 locations of the species currently being farmed in Tong-shi Township,
 Taiwan. The simulation results indicate that if the species with high
 profit can be sustainably raised and moved to aquacultural lands that are
 less sensitive to groundwater extraction, the total profit could exceed
 that without the regulation.

Title: The prescribed burning debate in Australia: conflicts and compatibilities 
Abstract:
  Following the unprecedented series of bushfires in Victoria (Australia)
 over the past decade, public debate is fierce over the use of prescribed
 burning to reduce wildfire hazard. These deliberations are full of
 uncertainties over effectiveness and consequences, reflecting a lack of
 high level evidence-based debate, and appear polarised between people
 prioritising asset protection and others prioritising biodiversity. Using
 a textual analysis of submissions to a parliamentary inquiry, we
 investigate how people frame the risks of prescribed burning, the
 certainty of its outcomes and what values they evoke in order to justify
 their views. We find that differences do not necessarily arise from
 divergent priorities about nature, people or assets, but instead from
 contrasting views about whether humans or nature are voluntarily or
 involuntarily exposed to wildfire risk.

Title: Toward integrated wetland conservation: a diagnostic framework 
Abstract:
  Integrated environmental management and related approaches have been
 widely endorsed for emphasising interconnections between water, land and
 related resources and placing them within a broader social and
 institutional context. Yet there has been limited application of those
 approaches to wetland conservation. This paper introduces an integrated
 wetland conservation (IWC) framework for analysing and identifying
 opportunities for integration within state (subnational) wetland
 programmes. The authors apply the IWC framework to an evaluation of the
 state wetland programme in Wisconsin. The framework identified limited
 current integration in Wisconsin, although the state programme has
 opportunities to improve IWC by increasing watershed-scale planning and
 mechanisms for interaction and co-ordination between stakeholders.

Title: Sustainability and carbon management practices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 
Abstract:
  Sustainable and carbon management practices are becoming prominent
 considerations in international business, particularly in developing
 economies that are still forming their economic foundations. Saudi Arabia
 is one such an economy and is pivotal because of its key position in
 international petroleum production. This study analysed secondary and
 primary data pertaining to sustainability and carbon management practices
 in Saudi Arabia and its business enterprises. A questionnaire was
 distributed to approximately 150 Saudi Arabian middle-managers. Surveyed
 Saudi enterprise managers reported a desire to see the Saudi government
 take an active role and establish well-defined carbon management policies
 in the country. The Saudi Arabian government has been serious in tackling
 the environmental problems, but the current governmental position is based
 on a distributive justice philosophy and pursuit of national interest.
 Primary data revealed private sector enterprises were better prepared to
 deal with sustainability and carbon management problems compared to public
 sector enterprises. Surveyed Saudi mangers reported hope that their
 employers would start rewarding positive carbon management actions and
 focus on educating managers about carbon management practices. Findings
 from this study can assist Saudi Arabian policy makers and leadership of
 public and private sector enterprises to formulate future sustainability
 and carbon management policies.

Title: Exploring the economy -- environment relationship in the case of sulphur emissions 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the relationship between economic development and
 environmental pollution by using panel data for 97 countries for the
 period 1950--2003. Various econometric techniques are applied to a sample
 of European Union (EU) countries and to a full sample including both EU
 and non-EU countries. For the full sample, cross-country variation in the
 estimated slopes is observed with extremely heterogeneous parameters,
 making aggregation not useful. These findings do not hold for the EU
 countries, implying that policies to control pollution must consider both
 the specific economic situation and the structure of the industrial and
 the business sectors of each region.

Title: Metabolic Impact Assessment for urban planning 
Abstract:
  The functioning of urban systems involves high levels of resource
 consumption and a complex web of energy, water and material flows. The
 fundamental aim of this paper is to understand how future urban systems
 could be designed to be consistently less damaging to the environment. Its
 main contribution is the proposal of a methodology for evaluating the
 urban development process from ametabolic perspective, the Metabolic
 Impact Assessment (MIA). After a brief introduction to evaluation in
 environmental planning, the paper describes the main influences of MIA,
 presents a set of principles for a metabolic assessment, and describes in
 detail the methodology's evaluation procedure.

Title: Households as role models for sustainable consumption. The case of local climate dialogues in two Swedish Towns 
Abstract:
  The research problem addressed concerns the interplay between households
 as consumers, and local governments as policy makers and service
 providers. Mainly based on interviews with selected households, the paper
 explores the activities, results and potential long-term gains of a
 climate dialogue project undertaken in two Swedish towns. The findings are
 interpreted in terms of Spaargaren and Oosterveer's ideal types of the
 consumer as ecological citizen, political consumer and moral agent. The
 main finding is that although the immediate gains in terms of GHG
 reduction are small, such projects may function as triggers of future
 change towards more sustainable policies and everyday practices.

Title: Renewables and innovation: did policy induced structural change in the energy sector effect innovation in green technologies? 
Abstract:
  This study analyses the structural change in the energy system. By
 focusing on different green technology industries in Germany, it is of
 particular interest how policy-induced demand stimulates innovation.
 Taking the market size as well as the change in the market size as a proxy
 for increasing demand and patent counts as a proxy for innovation, there
 is support that the presence of institutions enabling diffusion of green
 technologies (GTs) is correlated with innovative activity. However, when
 the different GTs are treated separately remarkable differences can be
 observed. We also investigate the role of public expenditures for research
 and development. It is controlled for a structural break by comparing the
 two institutional settings incorporated into the legal system in Germany,
 namely the Electricity Feed Law and the Renewable Energy Sources Act. We
 find evidence for the role of public expenditures for research and
 development, and no evidence is found for the structural break.

Title: Using fuzzy logic and neural networks to classify socially responsible organisations 
Abstract:
  Academics and practitioners have not yet developed an adequate method to
 evaluate the social performance of organisations that includes a robust
 and comprehensive approach of sustainability and uses the most relevant
 data sources. However, sustainability rating agencies are evaluating the
 social performance of organisations according to their own methodologies,
 which are not always clearly explained to stakeholders; and the
 evaluations they provide are being used as a reference in markets. This
 study contributes to research on the evaluation of social performance in
 organisations, by means of an innovative methodology that combines the use
 of neural networks and fuzzy logic for the development of expert systems
 suitable for classifying organisations according to their performance on
 Corporate Social Responsibility. The methodology has been validated in a
 simplified scenario and results indicate that it is suitable for
 replicating the classifications provided by sustainability rating
 agencies.

Title: Agri-environment policy in an era of lower government expenditure: CAP reform and conservation payments 
Abstract:
  Governments are seeking to reduce levels of expenditure. In the reform of
 the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) it will be important to deliver the
 environmental objectives of agricultural policy more cost-effectively.
 This paper reviews the different agri-environmental mechanisms and their
 relative scale and performance. Likely reductions in the Single Farm
 Payment (SFP) imply a need to shift resources from payments for the
 reduction of intensity towards payments to prevent abandonment. More
 cost-effective policies may be achieved by shifting funds from the SFP
 into more targeted mechanisms, changing standards currently achieved by
 cross-compliance into regulations, and increasing targeting and
 competitive allocation mechanisms.

Title: A bottom-up participatory modelling process for a multi-level agreement on environmental uncertainty management in West Africa 
Abstract:
  A multi-level participatory process tested in Senegal allowed local and
 national stakeholders to model their own perceptions of the environmental
 challenges theyface. This <italic>&#x2018;</italic>self-design&#x2019;
 process led to a very subtle but qualitative model of uncertainty that
 could be used by decision makers and other stakeholders to share their
 different points of view on land use and land tenure policy challenges and
 then to design better adapted environmental management policies.

Title: World Heritage management: boundary-making at Angkor Archaeological Park, Cambodia 
Abstract:
  A World Heritage (WH) designation requires that international obligations
 to protect and conserve pre-eminent natural and cultural heritage
 properties be implemented at a local level. As part of this obligation to
 protect, each WH property needs to be demarcated in space (or bounded).
 While there is a large literature relating to the efficacy of protected
 area management from a wide variety of perspectives which include, but are
 not limited to, tourism, livelihood and dislocation issues, this paper
 argues that further studies that specifically assess the significance
 and/or relevance of WH property boundary-making from a local perspective
 are required to aid WH site management. Using the Angkor Archaeological
 Park WH property in Cambodia as a case study, this paper documents local
 perceptions about WH boundaries, and demonstrates that, in this example,
 there is a discrepancy between local expectations and the official
 designation of the spatial extent for the heritage property. Moreover, it
 is argued that the unique circumstances surrounding the listing of Angkor
 resulted in rigid boundaries that lack local resonance and that continue
 to create challenges for local people and the management authority.
 Although Angkor's circumstances are inimitable, there are wider lessons
 that can be drawn from this example about the efficacy of WH and protected
 area &#x2018;boundary-making'.

Title: Organisational intentions and responses: presenting the risk of Lyme disease to countryside users 
Abstract:
  With more people working or recreating in the countryside, there is a
 need for land-based organisations to manage potential risks. We explore
 the role of risk communication as a tool for preventing staff or the wider
 publics contracting Lyme disease. Through interviews with representatives
 of land-based organisations and content analysis of information they
 provide, we focus on the relationship between organisational attitudes
 towards Lyme disease and the information they provide. While there is an
 appetite for a consistent approach to communicating about Lyme disease, we
 found that there is currently no clear agreement over the level of
 information that should be communicated, how and to whom. Moreover, how
 organisations approach risk communication in practice is variable. A
 potential solution would be an accessible resource base which provides
 accurate and consistent information that can be tailored to different
 audiences.

Title: Economic analysis of poorly sited septic systems: a hedonic pricing approach 
Abstract:
  Proper design and quality of soil play an important role in the
 functioning of soil-based septic systems. Septic systems with traditional
 leach fields are not suitable for treatment of domestic wastewater in Ohio
 due to shallow soils. Along with other adverse health effects, untreated
 or partially treated wastewater could lead to a loss of property
 valuation. The assessed value of 549 randomly selected properties in
 Licking County, Ohio was analysed using hedonic pricing method to isolate
 the effect of poor site selection on the value of the properties. Results
 indicate that properties sited on soils that are deemed optimal for
 wastewater treatment are valued 6.2% to 6.8% higher than those sited on
 sub-optimal soils. The results from this study can help the property
 owners in making better private decisions regarding installation of septic
 systems, but can also guide policy decisions that affect public health and
 common waters.

Title: Handling chemical risk information in international textile supply chains 
Abstract:
  In the textile industry, a large number of potentially harmful chemicals
 are used during production. This raises the importance of communication
 about chemical risks between different actors in the supply chain and
 therefore this study aims at describing the flows of chemical risk
 information up- and downstream in an international textile supply chain.
 The outcomes show that the main communication between retailers and
 suppliers is through a list of restricted substances. Information most
 often only reaches the next tier up- or downstream in the supply chain.
 However, different approaches exist, of which one is described in further
 detail.

Title: Willingness to pay for kerbside recycling in Brisbane, Australia 
Abstract:
  Domestic waste policy in Australia has a strong focus on kerbside
 recycling. In this paper mixed logit choice modelling is used to estimate
 the willingness to pay of households in Brisbane, Australia, for kerbside
 waste collection services including recycling. Respondents were found to
 have a positive willingness to pay for the fortnightly kerbside recycling
 and would be willing to pay an additional amount to increase the frequency
 of this service to weekly. The utility of respondents was, however, found
 to decline if general waste collection increased from weekly to twice a
 week.

Title: How a city lost its waterfront: tracing the effects of policies on the sustainability of the Kuala Lumpur waterfront as a public place 
Abstract:
  Kuala Lumpur owes its beginnings to the two rivers that transect its
 historic core but it lost its waterfront as a public place due to rapid
 urbanisation. The rivers were used as flood mitigation measures with
 limited visual and physical access to the public. This paper traces the
 effects of policies on the waterfront development of the city by focusing
 on the factors that contributed to its disappearance. It employs a
 qualitative approach by analysing the riverfront physical conditions based
 on old maps and photographs as well as government documents and in-depth
 interviews with local authority officials, architects and developers.

Title: Urban expansion into a protected natural area in Mexico City: alternative management scenarios 
Abstract:
  Land use change is one of the main stress factors on ecosystems near
 urban areas. We analysed land use dynamics within Xochimilco, a World
 Heritage Site area in Mexico City. We used satellite images and GIS to
 quantify changes in land use/land cover (LULC) from 1989 to 2006 in this
 area, and a Markov projection model to simulate the impact of different
 management scenarios through to 2057. The results show an alarming rate of
 urbanisation in 17 years. LULC change runs in one direction from all other
 land use categories towards urban land use. However, changes from wetland
 or agricultural LULC to urban LULC frequently occur through transitional
 categories, including greenhouse agriculture and abandoned agricultural
 land. While urbanisation of natural land is often indirect, it is also
 effectively permanent. Active management aimed at protecting ecologically
 valuable habitats is urgently needed.

Title: A multi-scale framework for evaluating the benefits and costs of alternative management strategies against invasive plants 
Abstract:
  Using a bioeconomic model that explicitly accounts for inventory and
 treatment expenditures, we carry out benefit-cost analyses of management
 strategies for three invasive plants in British Columbia: hawkweed, Scotch
 broom and Eurasian watermilfoil. For hawkweed, a province-wide biocontrol
 programme could achieve greater benefits than a conventional control
 programme, while for Scotch broom a small-scale mechanical treatment
 programme applied in a transport corridor was not economically viable
 unless it prevented spread into the surrounding area. Mechanical treatment
 of Eurasian watermilfoil in regional lakes generates net benefits to
 society, but inventory should be a key component of a control programme.
 Based on these analyses, we recommend continued development of successful
 biological control programmes for hawkweed and other invasive plant
 species.

Title: Mitigating climate change at sub-national scales: the Yorkshire & Humber experience 
Abstract:
  In the 1990s, regionalisation in England held out the promise that
 regions could forge their own unique policies to address climate change.
 This paper considers the Yorkshire & Humber region's climate change action
 plan. The study uses critical discourse to analyse the plan and a series
 of interviews with those who helped develop the initiative. It shows that
 in the case of Yorkshire & Humber, the Regional Development Agency was a
 key player in shaping the policies. This resulted in a focus on un-proven
 large-scale technological projects to mitigate climate change and create
 significant economic development for the region. Little came of this. The
 need to maintain economic growth seriously undermined the drive to reduce
 carbon emissions. The findings suggest that the proposed new sub-national
 governance arrangements will face similar problems in which short-term
 economic drivers outweigh efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

Title: A place-based approach to conservation management using public participation GIS (PPGIS) 
Abstract:
	      The New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) is an early
 adopter of a place-based approach to implementing regional Conservation
 Management Strategies (CMS). As a new approach, there are few signposts
 for guidance. The present DOC process relies on a top-down, deductive
 approach using expert judgement by agency staff. In this study, we examine
 an alternative approach that uses inductive, public participation GIS
 (PPGIS) methods to delineate places of significant conservation value. We
 compare and evaluate the agency's deductive approach with places
 identified as significant using PPGIS. We discuss the results and present
 a proposed hierarchy of places framework for use in future place-based
 conservation management.

Title: Corporate sustainability and shareholder wealth 
Abstract:
	      The goal of this study is to provide insights in relation to
 implementing sustainability into corporate strategy, and provide an answer
 about whether it can lead to higher than average market valuation. Using
 extensive data of Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 companies covering the years
 2006--10, 85 companies were selected as meeting corporate sustainability
 criteria. An investment strategy that bought companies with corporate
 sustainability would have earned abnormal returns of 7.4% per year during
 the sample period. We find that companies with balanced financial, social
 and environmental activities had lower revenues growth, lower growth
 volatility and lower stock price volatility. These results are consistent
 with the idea that companies benefit from investing in corporate
 sustainability and that these practices are reflected in their stock
 prices. The results also indicate that investment in sustainable companies
 does not show anti-cyclical patterns within the usual stock market cycle,
 but it is connected with higher stock market crash resistance. The
 empirical evidence from this paper is particularly pronounced for public
 companies that consider implementing sustainability into their core
 business strategy. It also contributes to better understanding of this
 concept in the contemporary capital markets.

Title: Australian residents' attitudes toward pro-environmental behaviour and climate change impacts on the Great Barrier Reef 
Abstract:
	      Climate change and associated environmental impacts are
 increasingly important issues. Effective communication with residents of
 coastal communities is critical to mitigate and adapt to changing
 conditions; however, this can be a challenging feat without an
 understanding of attitudes toward pro-environmental behaviour. Drawing on
 three dimensions of the Theory of Planned Behaviour, this paper: (1)
 explores the Australian public's perceptions of climate change impacts on
 the Great Barrier Reef; (2) segments respondents into homogenous groups
 based on their environmental attitudes; and (3) profiles the emergent
 segments using managerially-relevant indicators. Study findings illustrate
 that respondents can be organised into five distinct segments according to
 their attitudes toward pro-environmental behaviour that could potentially
 stem climate change-related impacts. These segments perceive a variety of
 threats to the health of the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem, underestimate
 the performance of behaviours that help to mitigate impacts and face a
 variety of internal and external constraints on behavioural engagement.

Title: Selection criteria using the Delphi method for siting an integrated hazardous waste disposal facility in Malaysia 
Abstract:
	      Choosing the site for an integrated hazardous waste disposal
 facility requires an extensive evaluation process to identify the best
 available disposal location. This location must comply with the
 requirements of governmental regulations while minimising the economic,
 environmental, health and social costs. In addition, the local public must
 be convinced that the hazardous waste disposal facility is required and
 that all reasonable steps will be taken to make it compatible with the
 environment. In addition, the location of the facility should be able to
 reasonably resolve larger issues. This study identifies environmental,
 economic and social criteria to be considered for the site selection of an
 integrated hazardous waste disposal facility. The Delphi method was
 employed in this study to gather information on the site selection
 criteria for siting a fully integrated hazardous waste disposal facility
 in Malaysia. The use of an online Delphi survey is useful and effective
 when both time and costs are limitations in a study, due to geographically
 dispersed experts. A two-round Delphi survey was employed in this study.
 The overall findings indicate that environmental criteria should be given
 priority when locating the facility, followed by the social and economic
 criteria.

Title: On the multifunctionality of hunting -- an institutional analysis of eight cases from Europe and Africa 
Abstract:
	      In many contemporary societies, multiple functions are
 connected to hunting. Here, we use the concept of multifunctionality to
 investigate the role of hunting beyond its traditional function of
 supplying meat. Hunting may contribute, for example, to biodiversity
 conservation, recreation and the preservation of economies and cultures in
 rural areas. Our comparative analysis of hunting in eight study sites in
 Europe and Africa examines the tensions and trade-offs between these
 ecological, economic and social functions of hunting, and investigates the
 interplay between the institutions regulating these functions to better
 understand conflicts over hunting. Based on this analysis, we present
 institutional arrangements that have developed to address these challenges
 of multifunctionality, and explore the institutional change brought about
 by such arrangements. Finally, we discuss the implications of this study
 for policy and institutional design.

Title: Use of local greenhouse gas inventories to prioritise opportunities for climate action planning and voluntary mitigation by agricultural stakeholders in California 
Abstract:
	      To meet the mitigation targets set by California's Global
 Warming Solutions Act there is a need for locally adapted greenhouse gas
 (GHG) inventory methods and policy principles that help rural communities
 prioritize opportunities for agricultural GHG mitigation. Here, inventory
 methods prescribed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and
 local activity data on agricultural land uses and inputs were used to
 conduct an inventory of agricultural emissions for a rural county in
 California for 1990 and 2008. Total emissions from agriculture in Yolo
 County were found to decline by 10.4% during this period, due to a
 reduction in irrigated cropland acreage, a shift towards crops which
 require less N, and a reduction in N rate for some crops. Average
 emissions per hectare of urban land were >70 times more than our estimate
 for irrigated cropland. This suggests that policies which protect farmland
 and encourage &#x2018;smart growth&#x2019; may help curb future emissions.
 Opportunities also exist to reduce emissions through voluntary,
 incentive-based, and market-driven initiatives which promote the adoption
 of innovative agricultural practices. To be effective, local policy makers
 must work closely with agricultural stakeholders to anticipate and adapt
 to the practical tradeoffs and co-benefits of new climate policies.

Title: Vale Landcare: the rise and decline of community-based natural resource management in rural Australia 
Abstract:
	      For almost two decades, community Landcare groups and
 supporting institutional bodies were the focus of agri-environmental
 policy in Australia. Despite the successes of Landcare, the programme
 faces challenges securing funding in an era of agri-environmental policy
 that preferences economic mechanisms, such as market-based instruments,
 for devolving funding. This longitudinal study examines how Landcare group
 activity and membership in one catchment have changed over the last
 decade. Community Landcare groups in the study area were in
 &#x2018;sleeper mode&#x2019; or had ceased to exist, partially as a result
 of funding and structural arrangements and several other factors that
 undermined both community Landcare groups and the regional Landcare
 network.

Title: Evaluating the greenhouse gas reduction benefits of compact housing development 
Abstract:
	      Regional land use and transportation planning influences
 energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a number of ways, such as
 through its effect on vehicle miles travelled and the extension of
 municipal infrastructure to serve newly developed areas. Planning
 regulations also help to shape the density and form of residential
 development, which creates opportunities for energy savings, as more
 compact housing types (attached homes and apartments) use less energy, on
 average, than single-family detached units. This study uses micro-data
 from the US Department of Energy's Residential Energy Consumption survey
 to estimate future residential energy use for space heating and cooling in
 Virginia's 10 Census-designated metropolitan regions. It then calculates
 the effect of four residential development scenarios on that energy demand
 and resulting GHG emissions. Potential GHG emission reductions of
 approximately 23% are found between the most conservative and aggressive
 scenarios. The greatest potential energy savings are found in regions that
 currently have a relatively low share of compact housing types,
 particularly those that also have relatively cold winters compared to the
 state's other regions. These factors, along with the distribution of home
 heating fuels used (electric vs. natural gas), influence the extent of
 potential GHG emissions reductions.

Title: No opportunity to say no: a case study of procedural environmental injustice in Canada 
Abstract:
	      While a number of studies have shown that blacks, Hispanics
 and the poor are disproportionately exposed to pollution hazards,
 particularly in the United States, there are much fewer that focus on the
 processes contributing to environmental injustices. This paper contributes
 to the environmental justice literature by exploring local environmental
 conflict over a pollution hazard (municipal solid waste) to further
 decipher the process(es) that may perpetuate environmental injustices.
 Through a Canadian qualitative case study involving in-depth interviews
 with residents, we emphasize important deficits in, and experiences of,
 public participation throughout the environmental assessment process. We
 do this by recounting the experiences of black residents from a small
 rural community near two landfills in Eastern Canada. We find that there
 are subtle processes -- linked primarily to public participation -- that
 create and sustain environmental injustices by ultimately denying
 residents the opportunity to say &#x201C;no&#x201D; to unwanted
 developments. This case highlights both the process of injustice as well
 as the experience of injustice. The procedural culprits contribute to the
 production and reproduction of environmental injustice, demonstrating that
 environmental injustice is not simply a result of exposure to pollution;
 environmental injustice is a result of a number of long established
 practices, which in order to be remedied, techniques must be tailored to
 be inclusive of an affected population.

Title: Northern Visions? Applying Q methodology to understand stakeholder views on the environmental and resource dimensions of sustainability 
Abstract:
	      Q methodology was used to enable the identification of
 discourses among stakeholders to the environmental and resource dimensions
 of sustainability policies and to gain an understanding of the usefulness
 of Q methodology in informing sustainability policy development. The
 application of Q methodology has been useful in identifying shared
 discourses between different stakeholder groups, and providing insights
 into how stakeholders &#x2018;frame&#x2019; or understand policy issues;
 and recommendations are made for ongoing research priorities. These
 insights, in turn, informed the choice of scenarios for an in parallel
 process of policy evaluation using Ecological and Carbon Footprinting.

Title: Negotiating value and priorities: evaluating the demands of green infrastructure development 
Abstract:
	      The potential of green infrastructure (GI) development has
 been recognised in a number of countries. In the UK, planning policy has
 identified GI and brought it into the legislative framework. It is assumed
 that it has a value for landscape enhancement for multifunctional aims:
 for increasing the adaptive capacity of the environment for climate change
 and long-term sustainability whilst protecting its ecological and social
 values. This paper uses an evaluative tool developed from a plan of action
 proposed in the early stages of GI thinking by applying it to a
 contemporary case study in England. This assessment reveals a mismatch
 between policy aims and the potential on the ground for creating GI. The
 study reveals &#x2018;institutional schizophrenia&#x2019;, a fragmented
 approach to the delivery of GI that affects stakeholder collaboration and
 confidence. The findings suggest a possible decrease in the level of GI
 creation because of restrictions placed upon local authorities and
 important repercussions for GI development and potential ecosystem
 services.

Title: Including climate change considerations in Latin American urban transport practices and policy agendas 
Abstract:
	      In this research we sought to understand how actors in urban
 transportation adopt climate change considerations into their work,
 including the techniques they use to address it, such as planning, design,
 analysis and advocacy in project planning and implementation. Through
 interviews with transportation practitioners at the World Bank, working in
 Latin America, we found that efforts to include climate change mitigation
 in the urban transportation policy agenda encountered major challenges
 such as lack of support for interventions that slow motorisation. In
 response, these transportation practitioners used relationships,
 expertise, advocacy and analysis to modify their practices to climate
 change concerns.

Title: Re-thinking sustainability indicators: local perspectives of urban sustainability 
Abstract:
	      Measuring sustainability is not only a contentious issue, but
 one which has captured the attention of both academics and politicians
 since the late 1980s. A plethora of methods and approaches have been
 developed over the last decades or so, from rapid measurements as inputs
 to specific projects, to longer-term processes of research, monitoring and
 wider learning. Indicators have been, however, the most influential
 measuring tool of all and despite the fact that the tensions between
 expert-led and citizen-led models in their development have fuelled much
 debate in the literature. It has been suggested that integrating the two
 approaches would tap into various levels of &#x2018;knowledge&#x2019; of
 sustainability and thus, be a better way of assessing sustainability.
 However, little is known of whether these &#x2018;integrated&#x2019; sets
 of sustainability indicators work in practice, or indeed reflect the local
 perspectives, values and understandings of sustainability which they aim
 to represent. This paper aims to fill this gap. First, an
 &#x2018;integrative&#x2019; set of indicators is designed and second, this
 is discussed with over 60 &#x2018;sustainability experts&#x2019; and 130
 residents living in three urban areas in the UK. It is found that the set
 of indicators is generally a good reflection of urban sustainability in
 these areas, however, people tend to assign different degrees of
 &#x2018;importance&#x2019; to individual indicators, something which is
 little accounted for when measuring urban sustainability. The paper
 concludes that sustainability indicators are not isolated pieces of
 information, but manifestations of local underlying processes and
 interconnections that can be mapped and which have the potential to expand
 our understanding of local sustainability.

Title: Analysis of marine environmental problems in a rapidly urbanising coastal area using the DPSIR framework: a case study in Xiamen, China 
Abstract:
	      Coastal regions are among the most rapidly urbanising places
 in the world. Rapid urbanisation along the inland coast, if not planned
 properly, may cause severe environmental consequences. Such situations are
 particularly true for China due to its rapid economic and social
 development. We used the Drivers--Pressures--State--Impact--Responses
 (DPSIR) conceptual framework to assess the factors that contribute to the
 degradation of the marine environment adjacent to Xiamen, which is one of
 the most rapidly developing coastal cities in China. Based on the DPSIR
 conceptual framework, we selected representative indicators to resolve the
 complicated cause and effect relationships associated with environmental
 problems. Furthermore, local responses, such as marine functional zoning,
 and pollution and waste management, were taken as triggers to drive the
 DPSIR cycle again to further analyse the effects of local response
 initiatives or activities for decision makers and stakeholders. Finally,
 we conclude that considerable progress in improving the analysis system
 could be achieved by establishing a unified information sharing system, by
 improving indicator development for marine environmental problem
 assessment, and by geographically and functionally expanding management
 initiatives to the regional level, including watershed areas.

Title: Framework for improvement of farmland biodiversity in Japan 
Abstract:
	      The first agri-environmental programme in Japan, which
 started in 2011, is aimed at the conservation of biodiversity on farmland
 in Japan. For its smooth enforcement, a framework is required in which
 biodiversity conservation is visible and clear to farmers and the public.
 Such programmes will be effective when options can easily be adopted and
 the concept is appropriate and regionally specific for the farmers. While
 the result-oriented payment approach provides biodiversity&#x2019;s
 concrete contribution to the improvement of farm settings, entry-level
 incentives are also necessary to encourage farmers&#x2019; initial
 participation, as biodiversity has an environmental value as public goods.

Title: Disaster risk reduction using acceptable risk measures for spatial planning 
Abstract:
	      Population growth and scarcity of prime land, combined with
 more frequent natural disasters, lead to higher vulnerability of people
 and infrastructures. To minimise future losses, the exposure to risks
 should be reduced. Spatial planning has an important role in disaster risk
 reduction, through better management and allocation of land. This paper
 presents a new method to incorporate disaster risk reduction in spatial
 planning, using acceptable risk measures. The method has been tested in
 the coastal city of Semarang, Indonesia, which is suffering from an
 on-going threat of enhanced land subsidence. Findings from the case study
 reveal the benefit of incorporating disaster risk reduction in spatial
 planning.

Title: Stormwater management and urban planning: Lessons from 40 years of innovation 
Abstract:
	      Urban planning is widely advocated as an important way to
 encourage the more sustainable management of urban stormwater, using
 alternatives to piped systems. This paper explores the way in which
 Swedish water professionals have opportunities to influence stormwater
 planning and the barriers that limit their participation in this process.
 Empirical evidence has been obtained from in-depth semi-structured
 interviews with urban water professionals from nine Swedish
 municipalities. The paper shows that there is a perception of the legal
 requirements related to the provision of drainage services that inhibits
 the utilisation of non-piped solutions. There are also reservations about
 a dichotomy that inhibits actions -- is stormwater an issue for the
 planning department or for the water department? It is concluded that
 water professionals have unique opportunities to integrate stormwater
 management approaches within wider urban planning practice and, hence, are
 able to encourage the use of alternative systems that are more sustainable
 than using traditional pipes or sewers.

Title: Who governs climate adaptation? Getting green roofs for stormwater retention off the ground 
Abstract:
	      Green roofs are an innovative solution for urban stormwater
 management. This paper examines governance arrangements for green roofs as
 a 'no-regrets' climate adaptation measure in five cities. We analysed who
 governs green roofs, why and with what outcome. Our results show that
 hierarchical and market arrangements co-exist in the various stages of the
 policy process. Cities with a higher prevalence of hierarchical
 arrangements have substantially higher implementation rates for green
 roofs. Although private sector involvement is crucial for raising
 efficiencies, a significant level of public responsibility taken by local
 governments appears to be salient for unleashing the potential of green
 roofs.

Title: From compactness to what? Long-term population trends in six large Mediterranean cities 
Abstract:
	      A comparative analysis of the recent urban expansion in six
 large regions of southern Europe (Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Milan, Naples
 and Athens) is presented in this paper, with the aim of assessing the
 magnitude of the shift from 'dense growth' towards 'diffusion'. The
 investigated cities were chosen as paradigmatic examples of compact and
 mono-centric cities in transition towards a polycentric form. A Multiway
 Factor Analysis (MFA) supplemented with descriptive statistics and
 correlation analysis of more than 30 morphological and demographic
 indicators covering the period from 1950 to 2000 was undertaken to define
 the demographic trajectory of the six cities. Different trends in urban
 expansion were identified and the six cities classified accordingly.
 Results indicate that 'concentration' and 'diffusion' long-term dynamics
 diverged in the examined regions, suggesting that there is not a common
 'Mediterranean' style in recent urban expansion. In contrast, urban
 trajectories mainly depend on the specific demographic phase (growth vs.
 decline) and the 'densification vs. depopulation' pattern observed at
 local scale.

Title: The general public's support for forest policy in Sweden: a value belief approach 
Abstract:
	      In the present study, the legitimacy of the forest policy in
 Sweden was explored. Based on a value belief approach, the general
 public's support for forest policy was examined by means of a
 questionnaire (n&nbsp;=&nbsp;796). Results demonstrated that the
 respondents believed ecological principles, such as sustaining natural
 conditions for native plants and animals, were most important in forest
 policy, but preservation of social values and using the forest efficiently
 to maintain high market value were also emphasised. Although
 socio-demographic variables (i.e. gender and age) had some impact on
 support for the policy, different values and beliefs reflecting
 ecological, social and economic interests were more important. By
 considering different values and beliefs, as well as policy support
 explicitly, the study provides a multifaceted account of the public's
 viewpoint regarding forest issues.

Title: Trading capitals? Bourdieu, land and water in rural Uzbekistan 
Abstract:
	      In this paper, we use Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of capitals
 and fields in the context of a transitional rural economy. We investigate
 ways to adopt these concepts for the study of land governance, in an
 attempt to gain new insights in post-socialist transition. By means of an
 in-depth study of land and water reform in two Uzbek villages, we reveal
 the intimate connections between access to water and access to land in the
 Uzbek rural economy, as well as the wide variety of strategies used by
 farmers to secure access to these resources. It is argued that the
 increased importance of the political field, in combination with its
 increased volatility and the dismantling of Soviet local governance, led
 to opacity in the conversion rates of capitals, to a bet on land as safe
 haven, and an ambiguous status of money.

Title: Resource taxation and regional planning: revenue recycling for local sustainability in the aggregates sector 
Abstract:
	      We address the possible outcomes of combining environmental
 taxes and environmental planning in managing non-renewable resources such
 as aggregates. We empirically investigate resource taxation issues by
 focusing on aggregate extraction policy in two large northern Italian
 regions, Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. The evidence shows that
 environmental planning, in addition to economic instruments, is needed to
 shape and monitor environmental policies. We highlight that the
 complementarity of land use planning and economic instruments can be a key
 driver of sustainability performances. The unintended effects of economic
 instruments are also crucial.

Title: A study on sustainable use of school sites at (primary) eco-schools in Istanbul 
Abstract:
	      The sites of primary schools in particular are of great
 importance in terms of the opportunities they provide for students, such
 as getting fresh air, establishing relations with nature and external
 environments, and learning about nature through experience. In this
 context, the sustainable design criteria of school sites becomes an
 important factor. The Eco-Schools International Programme aims to
 introduce environmental management systems into primary schools within the
 scope of ISO 14001/EMAS. It has a crucial task of educating new
 generations and promoting sustainable development throughout the world.
 This study examines primary eco-schools located in Istanbul. A
 questionnaire-based survey was administered on the theme of school sites
 and the findings of the study were examined. Questionnaire findings were
 categorised under five main themes. According to the topics of the
 questionnaire study, eco-schools in Istanbul often exhibit a successful
 performance in terms of <italic>sustainable transport and parking
 areas</italic> (school bus, public transport), <italic>safety on school
 site</italic> (sufficient traffic signpost, 24-hour security), and
 <italic>sustainable properties of outdoor playgrounds,</italic> (natural
 and durable materials), but an inadequate performance in terms of
 <italic>use of school site as a learning and teaching tool</italic>
 (outdoor classrooms, composting), and <italic>energy efficient outdoor
 lighting</italic> (solar lighting, lighting sensor).

Title: The impact of a carbon tax on economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in Ireland 
Abstract:
	      This paper analyses the medium-term effects of a carbon tax
 on growth and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in Ireland, a small open economy.
 We find that a double dividend exists if the carbon tax revenue is
 recycled through reduced income taxes. If the revenue is recycled by
 giving a lump-sum transfer to households, a double dividend is unlikely.
 We also determine that a greater incidence of the carbon tax falls on
 capital than on labour. When combined with a decrease in income tax, there
 is a clear shift of the tax burden from labour to capital. Finally, most
 of the effect on the economy is due to changes in the competitiveness of
 the manufacturing and market services sectors.

Title: Variation and stability in Dutch noise policy: an analysis of dominant advocacy coalitions 
Abstract:
	      Noise exposure has harmful effects on human health. Despite
 policy on the prevention and reduction of noise, the environmental burden
 is increasing, specifically due to road traffic noise. Noise policy in the
 Netherlands is organised in a rather complex way, with different legal
 frameworks for the various sources of noise. Whereas noise limits have
 frequently been adjusted in the traffic noise policy subsystem, the
 industrial and aviation noise policy subsystems are characterised by
 stability in norm setting. This paper aims to explain the differences in
 dynamics within the noise policy subsystems, by applying the Advocacy
 Coalition Framework (ACF). We conclude that the dynamics in the traffic
 noise policy subsystem is mainly due to two adversary coalitions
 advocating legislative arrangements to accommodate respective spatial
 claims. The stability in industrial and aircraft noise policy subsystems
 is explained by 'balanced' coalitions and a dominant economy coalition,
 respectively. We identified the (only) path to policy change in Dutch
 noise policy to be cross-coalition learning in which 'policy brokerage'
 might be crucial. We conclude with some reflections on the use of ACF in
 empirical research and the role of professional forums and institutional
 arrangements in stability and/or change in policy subsystems.

Title: Ecologically conscious behaviour of urban Chinese consumers: the implications to public policy in China 
Abstract:
	      The huge population of China, together with its rapid
 economic growth, has created problems of exhaustion of resources and
 environmental pollution, which not only harm the Chinese but the rest of
 the world as well. Studying the underlying forces of environment-related
 behaviours at all levels in China is very important. An awareness of
 resource conservation and environmental protection has gradually emerged
 in China. Nevertheless, consumers' poor environmental consciousness is a
 major obstacle for China to build an environmentally-friendly society.
 Consolidating the experience of research in developed countries, a survey
 of 1392 Chinese consumers was conducted to explore the determinants of
 ecologically conscious behaviour (ECB) through an extended
 knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) model. Results of the analyses showed
 that some socio-psychological factors have impacts on consumers' ECB.
 Specifically, affection for resource conservation and environmental
 protection (eco-affection) and social responsibility consciousness have
 direct effects; eco-awareness has indirect effects; and eco-knowledge and
 materialistic values on consumption have both direct and indirect effects
 on consumers' ECB. These findings provide important public policy
 implications for government and NGOs to guide consumers to engage in ECB.

Title: Dialogues of the deaf in Dutch eel management policy. Explaining controversy and deadlock with argumentative discourse analysis 
Abstract:
	      Scientists claim the European eel stock is in a state of
 crisis. Although stakeholders in the Netherlands agree, also upon the need
 for action, for a long time no concrete measures were decided upon.
 Drastic protection measures were only taken 70 years after the first
 warning signs and 11 years after explicit advice by ICES. Our
 argumentative discourse analysis shows that 'dialogue of the deaf' among
 discourse coalitions explains the deadlocked policy process. Argumentative
 discourse analysis not only contributes to a better understanding of
 knowledge utilisation in controversial fish stock management, but also to
 conflict resolution in this field.

Title: Vulnerabilities and adaptation of ports to climate change 
Abstract:
	      Climate change is anticipated to have a significant impact on
 coastal infrastructure, including navigational aids and ports. This paper
 presents the results of a vulnerability assessment of ports in Australia
 to climate change. Results reveal variable vulnerability in ports in the
 short and long term in relation to their exposure to climate change.
 However, this is offset by inherent adaptive capacity both in current
 climate change initiatives driven by ports, and in the self-confidence of
 the industry to be able to adapt. We conclude with a reflection on the
 implications of these results for future ports analyses.

Title: Institutional impediments to groundwater trading: the case of the Gnangara groundwater system of Western Australia 
Abstract:
	      The development of a market in groundwater usage rights can
 be inhibited by constraints arising from the institutional context. Such
 impediments may reduce the potential gains from trade and may generate
 high transaction costs for prospective traders. We analyse the regulations
 and policies influencing groundwater transfers in a case study area -- the
 Gnangara groundwater system around Perth, Western Australia -- and
 identify significant impediments to a groundwater market. Property rights
 are found to be conditional, temporary and vulnerable to amendment.
 Regulatory approval is required for all transfers. Facilitating
 infrastructure is lacking, and price information is unavailable.
 Management area boundaries reflect land ownership and use rather than
 hydrogeological realities; the limitation of transfers to within these
 boundaries eliminates much of the potential for gains from trade.
 Over-allocation and weak monitoring also impede the development of a
 market. The current management system is likely to obscure unmet demand
 for water-rights transfers between users and usage-types.

Title: Implementing the environmental and social policies of a municipality through an integrated management system: theoretical framework and case study 
Abstract:
	      Local authorities have an important role in improving the
 quality of life of their citizens by managing environmental and social
 issues for a sustainable development of the territory. While an increasing
 number of municipalities are implementing Environmental Management Systems
 (ISO14001-EMAS) to manage their environmental issues, standardised tools
 for social ones are still lacking. This paper proposes a theoretical
 framework for developing an Integrated Environmental and Social Management
 System through the inclusion of SA 8000 (Social Accountability)
 requirements with an innovative focus on citizens' information and
 consultation and highlights the main outcomes of its application in a
 small Italian municipality.

Title: Uncertainty analysis in the application of multi-criteria decision-making methods in Australian strategic environmental decisions 
Abstract:
	      Multi-criteria decision-making techniques have become
 increasingly widespread in strategic environmental decision making. In
 Australia, these techniques are used to integrate both conservation and
 development aspects of natural resource use. MCDM can also evaluate the
 effects of uncertainties at each stage of the decision-making process and
 examine the sensitivity of results to the inputs. This paper reviews the
 potential uncertainties in environmental management decision-making
 procedures and explores how uncertainty analysis in the framework of MCDM
 can address some of these uncertainties. It then examines the application
 of MCDM in 16 Australian case studies to determine how uncertainty has
 been addressed in practice. Results demonstrate that appropriate use of
 MCDM can address uncertainties associated with decision-makers'
 preferences and from using different techniques (epistemic uncertainty).
 Results also highlighted the need for incorporating visualising
 techniques, such as GIS and simulation algorithms (e.g. Monte Carlo
 simulations), to examine the effects of uncertainty on the spatial pattern
 of the outcomes. This approach also presents promising ways to gain an
 understanding of the effects of some dimensions of stochastic uncertainty,
 and assists in increasing the transparency of the decision-making process.

Title: Household waste recycling: national survey evidence from Italy 
Abstract:
	      The paper analyses the determinants of household recycling in
 Italy, with particular emphasis on social behaviours. The econometric
 analysis is based on two waves -- 1998 and 2000 -- of the Multipurpose
 Household Survey conducted annually by the Italian Central Statistics
 Office. In Italy, household recycling was substantially voluntary in the
 years from 1998 to 2000-with no monetary incentives or pecuniary
 sanctions. Five different materials are investigated: paper, glass,
 plastic, aluminium and food waste. The results of the probit regressions
 suggest that membership in non-profit associations, church attendance, the
 habit of talking politics and reading newspapers are significantly
 correlated with household recycling behaviour; while gender, age,
 education and household income play the biggest role. The findings also
 show that the presence of recycling bins for waste improves household
 recycling behaviour for all materials, whereas the difficulty of reaching
 recycling bins adversely affects household recycling outcomes. Household
 judgements on waste disposal charges have no effect on the recycling
 effort. Residency in southern Italy is associated with the lowest
 probability of recycling all materials.

Title: Identifying critical enablers to high performance environmental management: an empirical study of Chinese firms 
Abstract:
	      The aim of this paper is to identify the critical enablers to
 high performance environmental management (EM). Using empirical data, we
 explore green operational practices associated with both self-regulatory
 and voluntary environmental standards and their impacts on firms'
 performances in China under different operating conditions (i.e. with
 Internal EM Programmes or Supply-Chain-Wide EM Programmes). Our data show
 that both self-regulatory (e.g. adopting environmentally conscious
 operations) and voluntary environmental standard (e.g. adopting ISO 14001
 guidelines) approaches positively related to the overall performance of
 the firm. Voluntary environmental standards seem to be more highly
 associated with the overall performance of the firm. A major reason for
 this is the awareness and understanding of environmental sustainability.
 Applications of voluntary environmental standards, such as ISO 14001, thus
 offer and open up continuous improvement opportunities to impose greener
 standards for organisations in China. By focusing on the critical
 enablers, firms in China could become more environmentally responsible
 while improving their economic and operational performance.

Title: Transformative targets in sustainability policy making: the case of the 30% EU mitigation goal 
Abstract:
	      This paper explores to what extent moving towards the 30% GHG
 emission reductions by 2020 with respect to 1990 in the EU can be
 considered a <italic>transformative target</italic>. To do so, we first
 define the concept of transformative targets from a complex systems
 perspective and show a novel approach and original results using an
 extended application of the GEM-E3 model. Traditional macroeconomic models
 cannot easily handle key synergetic system effects derived from green
 growth and sustainability policies, and thus require additional features.
 We analyse the role of semi-endogenous growth driven by learning-by-doing
 and low-carbon investment expectations following a long-term
 transformative trajectory.

Title: Intergovernorate disparities in residential water demand in Tunisia: a discrete/continuous choice approach 
Abstract:
	      This paper investigates the demand function for residential
 water in Tunisia, using the discrete/continuous choice model. The analysis
 uses data for all Tunisian governorates. The main empirical results
 suggest that water demand is both price and income inelastic, but with
 high elasticity values (in an absolute sense) estimated for the
 non-coastal governorates compared to the coastal governorates. Overall,
 one may argue that combined pricing and non-pricing policies should be
 implemented in order to save water resources. However, some disparities
 between Tunisian governorates should be taken into account when applying
 these policies in order to reach social equity in water consumption.

Title: Inadequate contribution of commercial harvest to the management of feral camels in Australia 
Abstract:
	      In central Australia feral camels constitute a growing
 environmental problem. The current control solution is population
 reduction to protect key environmental assets, mainly through culling by
 shooting to waste and some small-scale commercial harvest. From knowledge
 of the 2008 population and projected rates of increase, this paper
 simulates the effects on the population of a range of annually increasing
 harvest rates, and assesses the practicability of achieving commercial
 harvests at rates high enough to control numbers. We conclude that
 commercial harvest will not in the near future be a major tool for feral
 camel management, although it could generate economic benefits to some
 stakeholders, such as Aboriginal communities, and reduce local camel
 populations in targeted areas. In the short to medium term, large-scale
 culling is required to the point where the growing commercial harvest will
 provide a sufficient environmental control.

Title: Putting pylons into place: a UK case study of public perspectives on the impacts of high voltage overhead transmission lines 
Abstract:
	      The siting of high voltage overhead transmission lines
 (HVOTLs) is often subject to public opposition where affected communities
 seek to protect local places. This study explores the perspectives of
 local citizens affected by a proposed HVOTL to connect new nuclear power
 at Hinkley Point in Southwest England. A two-day public workshop was held
 with 38 participants in an affected line-site community, using
 deliberative focus group methods to explore perceptions of environmental
 and social impacts, risks, governance arrangements and technology choices.
 The findings show how potential health effects from electric and magnetic
 fields (EMF) and visual impacts are perceived to industrialise rural
 places, disrupt place attachments and provoke local opposition. The
 findings challenge the &#x2018;not-in-my-back-yard&#x2019; assumption that
 citizens are selfish place-protectionists that lack the technical
 sophistication necessary to take a strategic viewpoint on transmission
 system development. They also reveal how decision making under the former
 UK Infrastructure Planning Commission's (IPC) (and its successor body the
 Planning Inspectorate) presents a challenge to procedural justice, as
 front-loaded developer-led consultation practices curtail citizen input to
 key decisions on alternative technologies (for example, underground or
 undersea lines). This is likely to exacerbate public mistrust of
 transmission system operators and provoke further organised protest.

Title: Trust and trustworthiness: conceptual distinctions and their implications for natural resources management 
Abstract:
	      Few natural resource management (NRM) studies discriminate
 between trust and trustworthiness. However, this approach, which combines
 the attitude of one actor with the characteristics of another actor, is
 common in the organisational management literature. Our case study, set in
 a wildfire management context in Australia, sought to explore: (1) how
 community members and NRM staff defined trust and described
 trustworthiness; (2) how these trust definitions did, or did not, reflect
 conceptualisations in the literature; and, (3) whether explicitly
 differentiating between trust and trustworthiness is useful in an NRM
 context. Our findings suggest that participants defined trust in three
 main ways: as 'having a good relationship'; as 'being able to rely on
 others' in a one-way manner; and, as 'a relationship where parties rely on
 one another' in a reciprocal manner. Our findings also suggest that
 participants differentiated these trust definitions from trustworthiness,
 that is, from the characteristics and actions which made an individual or
 agency worthy of trust. These findings suggest that it is useful to
 differentiate trust from trustworthiness, because it allows NRM managers
 and researchers to better understand both the trusting intentions of
 community members and the characteristics of the agency which contribute
 to that trust.

Title: No weighting for healthy sustainable local planning: evaluation of a participatory appraisal tool for rationality and inclusivity 
Abstract:
	      This paper is concerned with the contribution that project,
 plan and policy appraisal can make to effective decision making when
 shaping a built environment that needs to respond to the demands of local
 voices and also concerns for global sustainability and for population
 well-being. It argues that effectiveness depends on appraisal processes
 being rational, based on sound science, and also inclusive, involving
 stakeholders and implementers. A particular problem in all respects is the
 widespread reliance of decision makers on methods that use weighting.
 Although these give the appearance of validity, authority and objectivity,
 the paper argues that such methods are not compatible with the key tenets
 of appraisal and decision making that can address the challenges of
 localism, sustainability, health and inclusion. The paper advocates and
 evaluates a new technique, SPECTRUM, trialled in practice, which has been
 developed to meet these challenges. Specific attention is paid to its role
 in the development of the award winning ICON housing scheme in the
 Houndwood development at Street in Somerset, England.

Title: Monitoring land surface temperature relationship to land use/land cover from satellite imagery in Maraqeh County, Iran 
Abstract:
	      North-western Iran experiences high surface temperatures -- a
 situation that is likely to become increasingly severe due to both climate
 change and the growing area of sealed surfaces as a result of
 socio-economic development. Land surface temperature (LST) is a key
 parameter with respect to land use and land cover (LULC). In this study,
 the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) method has been
 applied to Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) imagery for Maraqeh
 County in north-western Iran (East Azerbaijan Province), in order to model
 the spatial variation of LST and to determine its quantitative
 relationship with LULC. The LST was found to be low for orchards and water
 bodies, while pasture lands and areas currently under cultivation had
 moderate LSTs. The results suggest that LST can be significantly increased
 by urbanisation, desertification, and any other processes that result in
 an increase in non-vegetated surfaces. High LST values were found to be
 associated with rural and urban settlements, and also with several bare
 areas of exposed soil, while the maximum LST values were associated with
 areas of rock outcrop. Our results indicate that LST has an inverse
 relationship with moisture content and biomass.

Title: Decomposition of sectoral greenhouse gas emissions: a subsystem input-output model for the Republic of Ireland 
Abstract:
	      The analysis of gas emissions by an input-output subsystem
 approach provides detailed insights into pollution generation in an
 economy, by revealing the channels by which the environmental burdens are
 caused and transmitted throughout the production system. In this paper we
 propose a decomposition of the greenhouse gas emissions by using an
 input-output subsystems model. The empirical application is for the Irish
 economy, and the economic and environmental data are for the year 2005.
 Our results show that large asymmetries exist not only in the quantitative
 contribution of the different activities to greenhouse gas emissions, but
 also in the decomposed effects of this contribution.

Title: The impact of piped water on household welfare: evidence from Vietnam 
Abstract:
	      Clean water is essential for human survival. However, a large
 proportion of people do not have access to clean water in Vietnam.
 Approximately only 23% of the population had access to piped water in
 2006. This study measures the effect of piped water on household welfare
 using difference-in-differences estimators and panel data from Vietnam
 Household Living Standard Surveys. It found that the effect of piped water
 on household income and working efforts are positive, but are small and
 not statistically significant. Similarly, the effect of piped water on the
 sickness of household members is negative, but not statistically
 significant.

Title: The role of Natura 2000 and project design in implementing flood defence projects in the Scheldt estuary 
Abstract:
	      This paper presents an account of two developments: the
 effect of EU Natura 2000 biodiversity policy on local planning and
 implementation processes, and a shift towards a 'Building' or 'Working'
 with Nature approach when designing water infrastructure projects. The
 account is based on a longitudinal case study of the 35-year chronology of
 a flood defence project which has been implemented along the River Scheldt
 in Flanders. The case study data have been analysed using a chronological
 time series analysis. The paper concludes that 'Building' or 'Working'
 with Nature is resorted to both at the EU and local level, because it
 works to balance previously conflicting interests and is acceptable to
 most actors who take part in project implementation. By placing ecological
 goals at the start of the planning process, the authorities elsewhere in
 the EU could avoid conflicts of interest and speed up project
 implementation in Natura 2000 estuaries.

Title: Valuing trees on city-centre institutional land: an opportunity for urban forest management 
Abstract:
	      Urban forests deliver essential environmental services to the
 city in which they grow. Few entities are better positioned to provide
 consistent broad-scale maintenance and protection of urban trees than are
 large downtown landowners. We present a case study that investigates the
 structure and function of an urban forest growing on a large institutional
 property in Toronto, Canada, and determine a 1.35:1 economic
 benefit-to-cost ratio of investment in tree maintenance. The study
 provides a roadmap for institutional properties to use in assessing the
 ecological benefits of their current tree populations. We argue that
 municipal policies that incentivise tree care and maintenance are critical
 in order to safeguard and enhance the public benefits of trees growing on
 institutional land.

Title: Economic valuation of the non-use attributes of a south-western coastal wetland in Bangladesh 
Abstract:
	      Being located in the south-western hydrological region of
 Bangladesh, Chanda Beel, a coastal freshwater wetland, is threatened by
 over-exploitation of resources. Therefore, this study made an attempt to
 estimate the non-use values of the wetland to realise its hidden values.
 The study used the contingent valuation method (CVM) method to place a
 value on the non-use attributes of the wetland and the results show that
 the non-use value is approximately US$ 0.48 million annually. The effects
 of socio-economic factors on willingness to pay (WTP) were also examined.
 Finally, the paper concludes that the estimated non-use values need to be
 incorporated for a better management of the wetland resources.

Title: Reclamation of sewage sludge for use in Israeli agriculture: economic, environmental and organizational aspects 
Abstract:
	      This paper develops a regional-level planning model aimed at
 allocating treated sewage sludge among potential users. The model
 incorporates, in one endogenous system, the economic, biological and
 environmental relationships and its objective is to maximize the regional
 social welfare. A few allocation approaches from the concept of
 transferable utility games are applied to determine a reasonable and fair
 allocation of the additional net benefits resulting from regional
 co-operation which is acceptable to all relevant economic units (players).
 The analysis is applied to a region in Israel and the results support
 regional collaboration among the relevant players which increase economic
 benefits by 19% and enable avoidance of sea pollution.

Title: The marathon of the hare and the tortoise: implementing the EU Water Framework Directive 
Abstract:
	      Reading the available evidence on the implementation of the
 European Water Framework Directive (WFD), one gets the impression that
 some countries anticipate implementation problems by starting off
 pragmatically and with relatively low ambitions, while others make a quick
 and ambitious start and tend to slow down in later phases of the process.
 Inspired by Lundqvist's classical study of air pollution policy in the USA
 and Sweden, we assess the importance of some general characteristics of
 the respective political-institutional systems to explain differences in
 WFD implementation in four EU countries: Denmark, France, England/Wales
 and the Netherlands. We conclude, among other things, that visibility of
 the policy process, accountability of politicians and policy makers
 <italic>vis-�-vis</italic> their stakeholders and the EU, division of
 responsibilities for policy formulation vs. implementation and the
 involvement of the public explain the level of ambition in EU
 implementation to a considerable extent. Thus, the Lundqvist variables
 turn out to be useful for both classifying and explaining differences in
 EU implementation processes.

Title: Use of some components of new ecological paradigm scale on congestion pricing in a recreation area 
Abstract:
	      Congestion is an important externality that causes negative
 welfare effects on individuals using a natural resource. This paper
 resolves congestion issues in a high-density urban forest of Turkey via
 probit panels using a random utility framework. Some components of the New
 Environmental Paradigm (NEP) scale are incorporated into probit panels to
 understand recreationists' environmental attitudes to congestion pricing
 for shifting congestion levels. Those components are sensitivity to
 sustainable development, biodiversity and efficient resource use. The
 results offer important insights to policy makers who are confronted with
 two environmental management options, which are resource-restriction or
 resource-enlarging policies. Environmental attitudes dictate that resource
 enlarging policy may increase aggregate welfare up to US$472,500/year if
 the site is managed at low congestion levels.

Title: Construction method selection for green building projects to improve environmental sustainability by using an MCDM approach 
Abstract:
	      Environmental pollution is a challenge being faced by
 construction companies. They attempt to solve these problems in order to
 improve the environmental sustainability of their green building projects
 by using different construction methods. However, the selection of the
 construction method for building projects involves a complex
 decision-making process. To solve this problem of construction method
 selection, this investigation presents a Multiple Criteria Decision Making
 (MCDM) approach. The study yields a comprehensive and systematic structure
 that employs quantitative assessments for priority construction method
 selection for each green building project and also aids construction
 companies with regard to their practical application.

Title: Assessing the willingness to pay for reliable domestic water supply via catchment management: results from a contingent valuation survey in Nairobi City, Kenya 
Abstract:
	      Shortage of domestic water is a key problem in Nairobi. The
 Sasumua Reservoir supplies 20% of Nairobi's water. However, reservoir
 water quantity has been impacted by human activities. Landholders within
 the catchment have no incentives to take into account this impact in their
 decision. The objective of this study was to estimate the willingness to
 pay (WTP) of Nairobi residents for reliable domestic water via catchment
 conservation. Data were collected through face-to-face surveys. A censored
 regression model was employed to estimate the WTP. Results show that
 monthly mean WTP of an average household is about 275 Kenya shillings;
 income, education, and age are the key variables affecting WTP; and lack
 of an appropriate institutional regime is the major public concern that
 could hinder implementation of market-based schemes.

Title: A multi-country level analysis of the environmental attitudes and behaviours among young consumers 
Abstract:
	      Environmental issues have become more prominent
 internationally and are increasingly featured in discussion by
 governments, business and academics. This paper presents the results of a
 study which examines the concerns for environmental issues and purchase
 behaviours of a sample of 1173 young consumers in England, Germany,
 Portugal and Spain; countries which represent different realities in terms
 of economic development, social context and cultural issues. An analysis
 of the differences between the respondents from the four countries
 regarding concepts such as man-nature orientation, generativity,
 environmental concern, consumer perceived effectiveness, conservation
 behaviour and environmentally-friendly buying behaviour is presented. The
 results obtained confirm the existence of significant differences between
 countries for almost all variables.

Title: Searching for an open future: planning history as a means of peri-urban landscape analysis 
Abstract:
	      The paper studies the need to acknowledge planning history in
 order to grasp the character of contemporary landscapes. The aim of the
 study was to critically examine how the shadows of past planning frame the
 current discourse on peri-urban landscapes and, inspired by
 actor-network-theory, to explore the potential for new stories through a
 symmetrical analysis of historical planning documents. This is illustrated
 here using a case study of a municipality in Sweden. The paper argues that
 a combination of critical <italic>and</italic> creative reading could
 enrich the planning debate and open up new strategies for investigations
 and policies concerning hybrid landscapes.

Title: Community resilience: path dependency, lock-in effects and transitional ruptures 
Abstract:
	      Adopting a framework based on 'social resilience', this paper
 analyses path dependency in community resilience, with a specific emphasis
 on endogenous pathways of change. Path dependencies are shaped by
 'lock-in' effects which shoehorn communities into positive or negative
 pathways of change. Of particular importance are 'structural lock-in
 effects', 'economic lock-in effects' and 'socio-psychological lock-ins'
 which make certain community pathways impossible to implement, and can be
 severe hindrances for raising community resilience. Community transitions
 are usually not linear, but can be characterised by 'transitional
 ruptures' where the quality of resilience is abruptly changed (positively
 or negatively).

Title: Proactive conservancy in a contested milieu: from social mobilisation to community-led resource management in the Simeto Valley 
Abstract:
	      Since Ostrom pioneered work on community-based forms of
 management of common-pool resource systems, the amount of research on the
 topic has increased. Action-oriented researchers have contributed to the
 debate identifying how, in specific problematic situations, communities
 can be helped to fill the gap between a disappointing reality and best
 planning practices and theories. The paper shows how, in a highly
 contested milieu challenged by the presence of organised-crime (Eastern
 Sicily, Italy), a collaborative and action-oriented approach to research
 helped the Simeto Valley community to evolve from a successful social
 mobilisation against the project of building a controversial
 waste-to-energy facility to an innovative and stable form of
 community-based natural resource management.

Title: Dealing with land use decisions in uncertain contexts: a method to support Strategic Environmental Assessment of spatial plans 
Abstract:
	      Predicting the environmental effects of spatial plans is made
 harder by the uncertainties affecting the future evolution of the planning
 region. Decisions contained in sectoral policies play a significant role,
 hence they need to be properly considered in Strategic Environmental
 Assessment (SEA) of spatial planning. A method to support SEA, based on
 the comparison of land use zoning options, under different sectoral
 policies, is developed and tested in the peri-urban region of Milan. Land
 use scenarios are generated and then assessed against a set of
 environmental indicators. The results showed the environmental
 consequences associated with poor co-ordination between spatial and
 sectoral decisions.

Title: An application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a green marketing tool for agricultural products: the case of extra-virgin olive oil in Val di Cornia, Italy 
Abstract:
	      In recent years, the interest in environmental issues has
 increased, along with the idea that consumer choices can actually improve
 the performance of the production system. A large number of eco-labelling
 schemes have been introduced, both at private and public levels. In this
 study, we apply a life-cycle methodology to assess the environmental
 impacts associated with extra-virgin olive oil production. The results of
 LCA were used to set the environmental requirements of a local product
 qualification scheme defined according to the National Protocol (QUAM --
 Qualit� Ambientale), signed by two Italian Ministries and four Regional
 Governments, on the environmental qualification of cluster products. Using
 the three performance indicators taken from the LCA study and two input
 indicators, we defined a set of entry level requirements which each local
 producer must comply with in order to achieve the qualification.

Title: Australian irrigators' recognition of the need for more environmental water flows and intentions to donate water allocations 
Abstract:
	      Future water policy strategies to address low environmental
 flows in the River Murray in Australia may include the continued
 development of programmes for irrigators to donate water. We identify and
 control for the interdependence between irrigators' recognition of the
 need for increased flows and their stated intention to donate seasonal
 allocations over time. The increased uncertainty of seasonal water
 allocations played one of the largest roles in negatively influencing both
 recognition and intention. An increase in the opportunity cost of water
 donation over time was negatively associated with intention. The
 identification of significant willingness to donate allocations supports
 the movement towards a more adaptive water policy approach.

Title: Detailed vs. fuzzy information in non-market valuation studies: the role of familiarity 
Abstract:
	      We apply a split-sample contingent valuation survey to test
 whether the level of ecological information affects the willingness to pay
 (WTP) and valuation uncertainty for improved water quality. For
 respondents who are unfamiliar with water quality problems, the WTP is
 significantly different between the sample that received detailed
 ecological information and the sample that received fuzzy information.
 This study also provides new empirical evidence for the counterfactual; in
 a situation with high familiarity, more information does not affect mean
 WTP. The main recommendation to future valuation practice is to provide
 detailed ecological information in the case when many respondents are
 unfamiliar with the good. The level of information did not influence
 valuation uncertainty.

Title: Six attributes of social resilience 
Abstract:
	      The concept of resilience has attracted much attention in
 recent times. However, there remains a distinct knowledge gap with respect
 to the social aspects of resilience. This paper describes six attributes
 of social resilience identified through case study research. Research was
 undertaken by a multi-disciplinary team of researchers who worked in
 partnership with representatives from five key government and
 non-government agencies from the Wet Tropics region in North Queensland,
 Australia. Research findings move understanding of social resilience,
 which is an emerging area of interest within natural resource management,
 from a set of assumptions to an evidence base.

Title: Team leaders' perceptions of public influence in the US Forest Service: exploring the difference between <italic>doing</italic> and <italic>using</italic> public involvement 
Abstract:
	      Individuals and public groups generally participate in public
 involvement events in an effort to gain influence over decisions that
 affect them. However, not much is known about how the process actually
 results in the public gaining influence over agency decisions. This paper
 reports the results of an online survey completed by 489 Forest Service
 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) team leaders. Respondents
 reported how much influence they thought the public should have during the
 NEPA process, how much influence they thought the public generally had,
 and how much influence the public had on a specific NEPA process at
 different points in the process. Sixty per cent of the respondents
 believed the public should have greater influence than they do.
 Respondents reported that more public influence should and does happen at
 earlier stages in the process. Early public influence and substantive
 comments appear to be related to positive perceptions of the public
 involvement process and public relations outcomes.

Title: Constraints to public influence in US Forest Service NEPA processes 
Abstract:
	      The Forest Service is mandated to involve the public during
 agency planning efforts, but involving the public does not necessarily
 mean the public will gain any influence over the planning decision. An
 earlier survey revealed that Forest Service team leaders commonly desire
 greater levels of public influence than they achieve in their planning
 processes. Informed by interviews with 16 Forest Service employees
 experienced with leading planning processes, this research explores the
 constraints to desired public influence. We found that agency personnel
 serve as key 'gatekeepers' to public influence through their decisions and
 actions during the process. Efforts beyond required procedures appear to
 often be necessary to translate normative public comments that might
 otherwise be dismissed into substantive public influence on analyses and
 subsequent decision making. Key constraints include a lack of perceived
 self-efficacy and fear associated with conflict, a lack of leadership
 commitment to public influence, overwhelming workloads and normative
 beliefs about the public informed by past and current negative
 interactions. Conversely, key catalysts include perceptions of
 self-efficacy in effective communications, strong normative commitments to
 the value of public influence at multiple levels within the agency,
 manageable workloads and recognition of discretion in addressing public
 comments by process leaders.

Title: Which 'public'? Sampling effects in public participation GIS (PPGIS) and volunteered geographic information (VGI) systems for public lands management 
Abstract:
	      Web 2.0 technologies including Public Participation
 Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) and Volunteered Geographic
 Information (VGI) provide methods for engaging multiple publics in public
 lands management. We examined the effects of sampling in a PPGIS/VGI
 application for national forest planning in the US. A random sample (RS)
 of households and a volunteer public (VP) were invited to participate in
 an internet-based PPGIS to identify national forest values and use
 preferences. Spatial and non-spatial group responses were analysed. The VP
 group expressed stronger utilitarian values and consumptive use
 preferences while the RS group preferred forest amenities. These results
 would lead to different planning decisions. PPGIS/VGI methods should
 include scientific sampling to ground-truth voluntary participation.

Title: Social preferences for agricultural policy instruments: joint consideration of non-attendance to attributes and to alternatives in modelling discrete choice data 
Abstract:
	      This paper uses the choice experiment method to analyse
 social preferences towards a set of agricultural policy instruments that
 are likely to play a key role in the post-2013 design of the EU Common
 Agricultural Policy. It contributes to the choice experiment literature by
 incorporating different attribute processing strategies into stated choice
 models. By comparing models that consider attribute non-attendance for
 individual choice tasks and for the whole sequence of choices, we
 demonstrate the impact of different ways of accounting for attribute
 non-attendance on model performance and preferences. In addition, we test
 whether 'non-attendance to alternatives', which describes the elimination
 of alternatives due to the presence of attribute levels deemed
 unacceptable to a respondent, is a relevant information processing
 strategy in a choice experiment context. The results clearly show that
 individuals allocate attention over a reduced array of information and
 jointly apply decision strategies that involve attribute non-attendance
 and non-attendance to alternatives. The joint consideration of these
 information processing strategies results in a significant improvement of
 model fit to data, and a better description of respondents' preferences.

Title: Employing the citizens' jury technique to elicit reasoned public judgments about environmental risk: insights from an inquiry into the governance of microbial water pollution 
Abstract:
	      Devising policy instruments and interventions that can manage
 and mitigate the risks associated with microbial watercourse pollution is
 a significant concern of the contemporary environmental protection agenda.
 This paper reports on the work of a citizens' jury that sought to elicit
 reasoned public judgments about the nature and acceptability of these
 risks as they relate to the role of livestock farming, and what might
 constitute socially acceptable and sustainable pathways to their
 management. By exploring this issue through a logical and sequential
 process of risk characterisation, risk assessment and risk management, the
 paper reveals how citizens' juries can be used to contextualise and
 structure science-policy apprehensions of microbial watercourse pollution,
 and highlight where priorities for innovation and intervention might lie.
 Reactions and responses of participants to the jury process and its
 outputs, including issues of social and practical impact of the exercise,
 are also considered. The jury technique is argued to be useful in the way
 it cuts across disparate domains of responsibility and expertise for the
 governance of environmental risks, and therein challenges decision makers
 to think more broadly about the political, moral and economic framings of
 otherwise narrowly conceived science-policy problems.

Title: The impact of economic recession on outdoor recreation demand: an application of the travel cost method in Greece 
Abstract:
	      This paper uses a travel cost method in order to assess the
 impact of economic recession on the demand for outdoor recreational
 services, for the case of a protected riparian ecosystem. For this
 purpose, two travel cost surveys were conducted in Paranesti (located in
 Northern Greece) in 2009 and 2010 (i.e. before and during the economic
 recession in Greece). The final results show a significant divergence
 between the two surveys due to the changing economic conditions. Expected
 trips to the reference area and consumer surplus estimates are both
 decreased in 2010 by approximately 15--25%, indicating a significant
 change of travel behaviour in a relatively short-time period.

Title: Ecological compensation for natural resource utilisation in China 
Abstract:
	      In China, the ecological compensation mechanism (ECM) was
 initiated in the 1990s solely to address compensation for forest
 ecological benefits. For nearly 20 years, the ECM has been gradually
 applied to other areas. This study evaluates the current status,
 implementation procedures and existing problems of ECMs in China. Several
 large-scale ecological engineering projects are summarised, and eight ECM
 pilot cases are examined. There are some major issues concerning ECMs:
 policy, institution, administration, management, finance and capital
 allocation. Suggestions are proposed to improve current conditions and
 resolve existing problems. Finally, several key topics for future research
 are also discussed.

Title: Legality and legitimacy of public involvement in infrastructure planning: observations from hydropower projects in India 
Abstract:
	      In contentious policy arenas where planning has traditionally
 been driven by the triad of expert knowledge, bureaucrats and public
 representatives, often public involvement is understood as a panacea that
 is used to legitimise decisions, reduce conflict and enhance public
 acceptance. This paper, based on evidence of public involvement in
 environmental planning over hydropower projects in India, argues that
 quite contrary to the expectation, there could be a mismatch between the
 legality and legitimacy of the public involvement exercise which may
 possibly then transform into situations that exacerbate rather than reduce
 conflicts.

Title: A critique of the European Green City Index 
Abstract:
	      In 2009, Siemens (Germany) sponsored the research by the
 Economist Intelligence Unit (London), which resulted in the publication of
 the European Green City Index report, in which the environmental
 performance of 30 large cities in Europe was analysed. It provided city
 administrations with an idea of where they stood
 <italic>vis-�-vis</italic> their European counterparts. However, while
 adopting such performance evaluation methodologies, it is important to set
 targets and goals, and to be aware of pitfalls that may exist in the
 course of a blind pursuit of a higher Green Score. City administrations
 are usually segmented into different divisions and departments; often each
 division strives towards its own set of targets and goals, without being
 aware (or without being concerned, even if it is aware) of the overlaps,
 conflicts and synergies that may exist with the targets and goals of the
 others. The Green City Index needs to be considered together with an Urban
 Socio-Economic Index, which can be suitably structured with the
 inter-linkages with the indicators of the Green City Index explicitly
 described.

Title: Identifying capacity indicators for community-based natural resource management initiatives: focus group results from conservation practitioners across Illinois 
Abstract:
	      The increasing popularity of community-based natural resource
 management (CBNRM) warrants an exploration of the capacity of such
 initiatives to co-ordinate and implement successful conservation efforts.
 We used reconstructivist methods -- specifically, focus groups with
 nominal group techniques -- to determine 10 key capacity indicators for
 successful CBNRM. The list comprises motivation, leadership, respect,
 mutual interest/shared values, outreach/education, marketing,
 communication, planning, funding and equipment/supplies. Our results can
 be used by CBNRM groups for capacity-building and self-assessment
 activities, by bridging organisations to increase the capacity of such
 initiatives, or by researchers interested in measuring the capacity of
 community-based groups to achieve their conservation goals.

Title: Why do forest companies change their CSR strategies? Responses to market demands and public regulation through dual-certification 
Abstract:
	      Certification represents a comparatively new means of CSR,
 which is important in the forest industry. Forest companies and industries
 have previously certified their management and products in accordance with
 one of the competing systems (FSC: Forest Stewardship Council and PEFC:
 Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes), but
 recently, important large-scale companies in several countries have
 started to certify under both schemes. This study explores the causes and
 effects of this change in strategies, drawing on semi-structured
 interviews with Swedish forest companies and industries and European
 retailers. The results show that public bodies, not the least in the EU,
 as well as ENGOs, have transformed customer demands, resulting in
 dual-certification. This change in strategies has the potential to alter
 corporate environmental practices throughout the supply chains. These
 results call for further research on the under-studied issue of the
 interaction between public regulation and private forest governance.

Title: Wastewater management in Ethiopian higher learning institutions: functionality, sustainability and policy context 
Abstract:
	      This study investigates the existing wastewater management
 situation in Ethiopia, with particular emphasis on university campus
 wastewater. The investigation was carried out by reviewing literature,
 reports, policy documents and field visits integrated with laboratory
 assessment. It was established that from the seven universities only two
 have functional wastewater treatment plants, but none of them meet
 effluent standards. These <italic>mainly centrally prescribed
 systems</italic> lack sustainability because of problems related to
 technology choice, affordability and technical skills. This paper proposes
 feasible rehabilitation strategies for the existing wastewater systems. A
 combination of policy instruments and integrated wastewater management
 strategies are proposed. Although based on specific data from Ethiopia,
 the findings and recommendations of this study also apply to other,
 similar, low-income countries where the population is booming but overall
 wastewater management planning is lagging behind.

Title: Revisiting the knowledge exchange train: scaling up dialogue and partnering for participatory regional planning 
Abstract:
	      In an integrated world, knowledge exchange is becoming more
 important for empowerment to participate in planning processes. This is
 particularly the case in areas undergoing rapid change and with unequal
 stakeholder constituencies. The 'knowledge exchange train' (KET) model was
 designed to address knowledge inequalities and large-scale change by
 disseminating the results of new research rapidly and on a large scale.
 The KET involves two-way dissemination of knowledge as a means to support
 the formation of partnerships and participation in regional environmental
 planning. We compare three KET experiences in the southwestern Amazon:
 comparisons of KET I and II highlight adjustments in the model to amplify
 two-way exchange and to focus on key planning issues, and comparisons of
 KET II to III show how KET fosters partnerships for downstream
 environmental planning and management activities. KETs thus address
 knowledge inequalities and catalyse follow-on environmental management
 activities, both of which facilitate public participation in regional
 environmental planning.

Title: German experience in managing stormwater with green infrastructure 
Abstract:
	      This paper identifies and describes experience with 'green'
 stormwater management practices in Germany. It provides the context in
 which developments took place and extracts lessons learned to inform
 efforts of other countries in confronting urban stormwater challenges. Our
 findings show that an integrated environmental planning approach helps to
 balance environmental and urban development. Further, the transformation
 to a mixed grey and green infrastructure necessitates both a quantifiable
 long-term goal and a suite of policies to incentivise green infrastructure
 and support implementation. Finally, public authorities must assume
 leadership while enabling the participation of stakeholder groups in the
 transformation process.

Title: Environmental justice in France? A spatio-temporal analysis of incinerator location 
Abstract:
	      The concept of Environmental Justice (EJ) refers to social
 inequities in the distribution of environmental risks. This paper presents
 the first European <italic>spatio-temporal</italic> EJ analysis, focusing
 on the location of 107 waste incinerators in France since the 1960s to
 assess potential biases in siting decisions. It uses a spatial econometric
 analysis that accounts for vulnerable populations at the time unwanted
 land uses were sited. We find that, after controlling for a town's
 socio-economic characteristics and the opportunity costs represented by
 the demand of its neighbours, each additional 1% of a town's population
 that is foreign-born increased the odds that the town received an
 incinerator by 29%. Disproportionate siting near concentrations of
 immigrants thus generates environmental injustice in France.

Title: Assessing China's discriminative tax on Clean Development Mechanism projects. Does China's tax have so many functions? 
Abstract:
	      In the practice of the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development
 Mechanism (CDM), many CDM host countries heavily rely on high Global
 Warming Potential (GWP) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) projects. Among them, China
 might be unique in that it imposes a discriminative tax on projects
 dealing with high GWP GHGs. The Chinese government takes 65% of the carbon
 credits from HFC-23 (trifluoromethane) projects, 30% from N<sub>2</sub>O
 (nitrous oxide) projects, but only 2% from other types of projects.
 Previous studies have expected that this tax has multiple effects:
 rent-seeking effect, a deterrent effect on the HFC-23 and N<sub>2</sub>O
 projects, a channelling effect that switches the investment from HFC-23
 and N<sub>2</sub>O projects to other types of projects, and a market
 distortion effect. However, with the positive analysis and empirical
 evidence, the present study shows that this tax only has rent-seeking
 effect, thus China's discriminative tax has been over read.

Title: An approach for evaluation of proposed air pollution control strategy to reduce levels of nitrogen oxides in an urban environment 
Abstract:
	      In this study, an atmospheric dispersion model along with a
 systematic emission inventory was used to explore the possible control
 strategy to reduce ambient levels of nitrogen oxides (NO<sub>x</sub>) in
 Kanpur city, India. A GIS based emission inventory of NO<sub>x</sub> was
 developed for the base, 5th and 10th years. It was observed that the 5th
 and 10th years will experience increased emissions by factors of 1.7 and
 2.5 of the base year if no control policy is implemented. Seventeen
 control options (i.e. introduction of Euro 6 to vehicles, banning of
 15-year old private vehicles etc.) were considered for evaluation through
 the dispersion modelling. A control scenario comprising the following
 control options (1) implementation of Euro 6 for vehicles, (2) compressed
 natural gas (CNG) for commercial and public vehicles, etc. was found to be
 most effective in reducing the ambient NO<sub>x</sub> levels and attaining
 a 24-hour average air quality standard.

Title: Dynamics of peri-urban agricultural development and farmers' adaptive behaviour in the emerging megacity of Hyderabad, India 
Abstract:
	      This paper describes the adaptation of agricultural
 management practices due to structural changes in the urban periphery of
 Hyderabad, India. We investigate structural-change drivers along with the
 most common types of adaptation realised by peri-urban farmers and the
 corresponding environmental impacts. From 120 farmer interviews, in which
 qualitative and quantitative data were collected, we found that increasing
 costs for agricultural inputs such as labour and land have motivated
 farmers to intensify water, machine and chemical use, thereby creating
 problematic environmental impacts. In addition, farmers also resort to
 part-time farming and organise efforts to share family labour. Based on
 these findings, we discuss agricultural policies and strategies within the
 framework of environmental planning and management for the Greater
 Hyderabad Area (GHA), drawing policy-design conclusions that may enable
 better integration of farming into the on-going process of megacity
 development.

Title: Incorporating groundwater issues into regional planning in the Province of Quebec 
Abstract:
	      In recent decades, governments have developed better
 knowledge of groundwater and established measures to protect and preserve
 it. In the hope of protecting this resource and ensuring its
 sustainability, the Government of Quebec has launched a programme to
 characterise groundwater in the southern portion of the province. Prior to
 launching this programme, pilot projects were carried out in two
 watersheds to produce groundwater atlases. However, the producers of the
 atlases are under the impression that their documents remain unused by
 municipal and county planners. The main objective of this study is to
 propose strategies to facilitate the incorporation of groundwater data
 into land planning processes. This paper presents the results of a series
 of semi-directed interviews with land planning stakeholders in the
 Province of Quebec. The study proposes four actions to improve the use of
 groundwater information in land planning: an awareness-raising campaign
 for all citizens, basic training on groundwater for land planning
 stakeholders, a legal framework defining who should protect groundwater
 and how, and a GIS tool that would help planners interpret the data.

Title: Development of an environmental justice index to determine socio-economic disparities of noise pollution and green space in residential areas in Berlin 
Abstract:
	      The majority of human beings worldwide live in urban areas;
 hence, methods to assess the quality of the urban environment and its
 impact on human well-being are of the utmost importance. Particularly
 relevant are areas with low levels of environmental justice, defined as
 areas where low biophysical quality meets low socio-economic status, and
 where resources and strategies for coping are rare. This paper develops
 and applies an index to assess the patterns of environmental justice in
 residential areas with a strong focus on stakeholder integration. We
 concentrate on the relationship between socio-economic disparities of
 environmental burdens, such as traffic noise, and of environmental
 benefits, such as vegetation, in residential areas of Berlin, Germany. To
 develop an environmental justice index, we combined the environmental
 burdens and benefits with a socio-economic indicator. As a result, we
 identify city-wide patterns of environmental justice in Berlin. While
 there was a high positive correlation between vegetation and
 socio-economic status, the patterns for noise pollution were very
 heterogeneous. Our approach provides a transparent and modular index
 allowing an area-wide monitoring of environmental justice in urban areas.
 Such an analysis is urgently needed to develop adequate decision-making
 strategies for all inhabitants to make living in a healthier city
 possible.

Title: Are we planning effectively for climate change? An evaluation of official community plans in British Columbia 
Abstract:
	      Mounting evidence of global climate change encourages
 planning responses that seek to mitigate change and to adapt to changes
 considered to be inevitable. The province of British Columbia recently
 mandated that municipal official community plans (OCPs) contain targets
 and policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The authors use
 content analysis to evaluate mitigation and adaptation content in 39 OCPs,
 and find that 25 of the OCPs explicitly address climate change, and that
 the OCPs are stronger with respect to goals and policies than to fact base
 and implementation provisions. The paper concludes with recommendations
 for strengthening municipal climate change planning.

Title: Water scarcity in the desert metropolis: how environmental values, knowledge and concern affect Las Vegas residents' support for water conservation policy 
Abstract:
	      This paper examines important associations between
 environmental values, knowledge, concern and attitudes about water
 conservation policies in a desert metropolis. Specifically, we consider:
 (a) the combined influence of environmental value orientation, knowledge
 of drought conditions and concern about water use on support for water
 conservation policies; (b) the relative association of each individual
 variable on policy support; (c) factors explaining support to increase
 water prices and restrict water use; and (d) associations between
 socio-demographic factors and water policy support. Based on data from the
 2009 Las Vegas Metropolitan Area Social Survey, we find that environmental
 value orientation, knowledge and concern are all significant predictors of
 water conservation, but concern stands out as the primary predictor for
 water policy support. Knowledge of drought conditions is the strongest
 predictor of support for water price increases, while concern predicts
 support for water use restrictions. We discuss theoretical implications
 and offer suggestions for water management, conservation and outreach.

Title: Political decision making, governance shifts and Scottish animal reintroductions: are democratic principles at stake? 
Abstract:
	      Contemporary governance systems have been characterised as
 'multi-actor' and 'multi-level', but the consequences of such greater
 complexity for core principles of democracy remain uncertain. To
 investigate the effects of these late-modern governance shifts, we used
 political decision making on Scottish reintroductions of charismatic
 animals as a case study. Based on interviews with key actors engaged in
 the reintroduction of the white-tailed eagle, beaver and (potentially)
 lynx, we analysed the impact of governance shifts against four selected
 democratic principles. We found that new modes of governance can make
 decision-making processes look better than they actually are, and may even
 harm democratic principles.

Title: Measuring the economic values of natural resources along a freeway: a contingent valuation method 
Abstract:
	      Natural resources are often victims of development. On the
 one hand, a freeway is under construction, while on the other hand there
 are unique natural resources along the route of the freeway. Both of them
 are essential to us. Thus, we cannot ignore either of them. The purpose of
 this study is to find the monetary equivalent of the natural resources in
 response to a challenge between environment and development. Dealing with
 non-use values, we apply the contingent valuation method (CVM). Our
 results show that the mean of willingness to pay (WTP) is US$1.84 per
 household for supporting natural resources along the route of the freeway.
 Total WTP for supporting natural resources along the route of the freeway
 is US$77 million annually. The findings indicate that Iranian people have
 a high sensitivity for supporting natural resources along the route of the
 freeway. Hence, the government should give more attention to natural
 resources along the freeway and change its route.

Title: Integrating knowledge, interests and values through modelling in participatory processes: dimensions of legitimacy 
Abstract:
				 This paper examines two participatory
 environmental planning cases in which modelling played an important role.
 The cases occurred in Vermont. They provide contrasts in the use of
 technology to model future scenarios: magic markers and mylar for forest
 mapping as compared to computer modelling for watershed assessment. The
 paper describes how modelling and models were employed to integrate
 knowledge, interests and values in each case. It explores two dimensions
 of legitimacy, procedural and scientific expertise, in these modelling
 processes. It concludes with the implications of decision-making authority
 for legitimacy and the integration of knowledge and values.

Title: Air quality action planning: why do barriers to remediation in local air quality management remain? 
Abstract:
				 UK local air quality action planning has
 failed to remediate exceedances of air quality targets, particularly for
 nitrogen dioxide, which are widespread and persistent a decade after the
 first local action plans were drafted. This paper is relevant to a range
 of administrations charged with managing air quality. Using a literature
 review and local authority survey, it explores barriers to improving air
 quality, i.e. resource limitations, absence of local authority powers, and
 a lack of intra-governmental co-operation and inter-governmental
 co-ordination. It concludes that the causes of these inefficiencies are
 flawed subsidiarity and devolved responsibility decoupled from the powers
 necessary to implement required actions. Challenging opportunities to
 reconceptualise air quality action planning to protect public health are
 suggested.

Title: Learning from cross-border arrangements to support climate change adaptation in Australia 
Abstract:
				 This paper focuses on learning from
 existing cross-border governance arrangements with a view to strengthening
 and improving climate change adaptation within the Australian context.
 Using an institutional learning framework, the research offers a critical
 analysis of two Australian cross-border cases: (1) the Murray-Darling
 Basin, and (2) the Australian Alps. The research findings focus on the
 issues of <italic>geographic</italic> (place),
 <italic>administrative</italic> (space) and <italic>political</italic>
 (territory) fragmentation as key concepts that underpin integrated
 environmental planning and management in practice. There are significant
 implications for climate change adaptation in evolving cross-border
 regions at scale that this paper highlights.

Title: Rethinking agri-environmental schemes. A result-oriented approach to the management of species-rich grasslands in France

 prescriptions to achieve intended outcomes. This paper explores an
 alternative approach to the delivery of biodiversity objectives to French
 farmers. It presents an analysis of an innovative collaborative programme
 focusing on ecological results rather than management prescriptions. In
 particular, the argumentation to which this new focus has given rise
 within the community of nature managers is examined. It reveals the
 re-shaping of the notion of grassland habitats which has been carried out
 by innovators and has allowed a reconciliation of biodiversity
 conservation goals with farmers' work and values. In this sense, the
 'Flowering Meadows' programme combines the creation of a public good with
 the generation of a public for that good. The effectiveness and potential
 of the result-based approach are discussed, with emphasis given to the
 design of the outcome and possible future policy developments.

Title: Back and forward to the future: an explorative study of public responses to urban groundwater contamination 
Abstract:
				 The objective of this case study is to
 explore responses by residents confronted with groundwater contamination
 in their community. Using a mail-survey design, self-administered
 questionnaires were collected (<italic>N</italic> = 170) that included
 questions about risk perceptions, site-specific concerns and perceived
 neighbourhood problems. The results show that concerns about chemical
 risks (i.e. chlorinated solvents) are rather limited in comparison to the
 potential impacts of site-redevelopment and other neighbourhood problems.
 Accordingly, the results of logistic regression analyses indicate that
 place detachment is not significantly related to risk perception but
 rather to site-specific concerns such as a perceived decrease in property
 values on the one hand, and wider environmental stressors such as traffic
 congestion on the other. In turn, the latter chronic environmental
 conditions are closely intertwined with residents' views on the
 redevelopment of the contaminated site.

Title: Financing conservation: some empirical evidence from Florida local governments 
Abstract:
				 Government is the primary financer of
 conservation services, but conservation financing in government is rarely
 studied. This study makes two contributions to understanding conservation
 financing in government. First, it develops a framework to classify and
 analyse conservation funding. Applying this framework to the data from
 Florida county governments, this study finds that conservation funding has
 become more stable and secure. More resources are used for large and
 long-term capital projects that benefit not only the current generation
 but also future generations, which reflects the ultimate goal of
 conservation. Second, this research offers an explanation about why some
 governments spend more on conservation than others. The results suggest
 that conservation funding in government is the result of combined forces
 in environmental pressure of economic activities and budgetary politics.
 The paper concludes that government should develop a structured
 conservation funding strategy that includes close monitoring of
 environmental pressure and proper political and institutional responses to
 the pressure.

Title: Economic and environmental effects of CO<sub>2</sub> taxation: an input-output analysis for Spain 
Abstract:
				 The aim of this work is to investigate the
 direct and indirect effects of an environmental tax on Spanish products,
 based on their CO<sub>2</sub> emission intensities. For this purpose, we
 apply environmental input-output (EIO) and price models. The short-term
 price effects of the introduction of tax on consumption prices, and its
 influence on consumers' welfare, are determined. We also quantify the
 environmental impacts of such taxation in terms of the reduction in
 CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. The results, based on the Spanish economy for
 the year 2007, show that sectors with a relatively poor environmental
 profile are subjected to high environmental tax rates. As a consequence,
 applying a CO<sub>2</sub> tax on these sectors increases production prices
 and induces a slight increase in the Consumer Price Index, and a decrease
 in private welfare. In general, our analysis highlights that the
 environmental and economic goals cannot both be met at the same time with
 the environmental taxation, unless there is a way in which the public
 revenues could be used to compensate those who are negatively affected by
 the tax.

Title: Attitudes towards environmental responsibility within Australia and India: a comparative study 
Abstract:
				 Efforts to promote corporate environmental
 responsibility (CER) require an understanding of stakeholder attitudes
 towards enhanced accountability. However, little is known about current
 attitudes on this subject. This study presents a survey of the attitudes
 of corporate managers across Australia and India towards 16 key
 contemporary environmental responsibility issues. The study sought to
 explore whether respondents from these countries, characterised by
 differing levels of development, differ in their attitudes towards
 environmental responsibility (ER). The findings indicate that Indian
 respondents were stronger in their support, and identified a select few
 issues to be more important over other environmental factors. Although
 Australian respondents moderately supported most of the environmental
 issues, they were not prominent in supporting most environmental issues
 under question. Results indicated overall positive attitudes towards ER by
 both the groups of respondents. Significant differences did exist between
 the 318 respondents on 8 of the 16 questions. Confirmatory factor analysis
 (CFA) confirmed three distinct environmental factors for Australian
 respondents and four environmental factors for Indian respondents.

Title: Do planners matter? Examining factors driving incorporation of land use approaches into hazard mitigation plans 
Abstract:
				 Local hazard mitigation plans help
 communities organise a comprehensive set of policies and actions to reduce
 long-term risks from natural hazards. Land use policies hold the greatest
 long-term risk reduction potential, but are under-utilised. Using
 multivariate regression models, we assessed the influence of involvement
 of local planners on hazard mitigation planning committees on the
 inclusion of land use policies into three principles of plan quality,
 controlling for state and local factors. Results indicate a need for
 greater involvement of local planners and stronger emphasis by federal and
 state officials on integrating land use planning approaches into
 mitigation plans. Findings may be relevant to other areas of public policy
 with important land use dimensions for which non-planning agencies and
 professions have lead responsibility or historical dominance, such as
 transportation and climate change.

Title: The environmental cost of overhead power transmission lines: the case of Korea 
Abstract:
 The purpose of this paper is to measure the environmental costs of
 overhead power transmission lines (PTLs) in Korea by using a choice
 experiment (CE) approach. To this end, a mixed logit model is employed to
 explicitly incorporate preference heterogeneity and avoid the assumption
 of independence from irrelevant alternatives that is required in
 conditional logit models. For selecting a preferred alternative, we
 consider the trade-offs between price and the attributes of environmental
 impacts from overhead PTLs such as visual disamenity, land use and
 electric and magnetic fields (EMFs). The results reveal that unlike visual
 disamenity and land use, EMFs are not statistically significant. This can
 be interpreted as implying that many respondents are more interested in
 land use related to property rights than EMFs. This study provides useful
 information to policy makers for the development and implementation of
 more appropriate policies to deal with the environmental damage that is
 caused by overhead PTLs. Undergrounding PTLs without considering the
 construction cost can lead to an increase in electricity rates. Therefore,
 we may take into account a cost-effective option in future policies for
 social optimality.

Title: Valuing US climate amenities for Americans using an hedonic pricing framework 
Abstract:
 This paper estimates the marginal willingness to pay for climate amenity
 in the US using hedonic pricing and wage models. Research identifies that
 higher January temperatures are an amenity and households are willing to
 pay approximately US$5.90 ($2004) per month for a 1&deg;F increase in the
 January temperature. Unlike the January temperature, higher July
 temperatures and precipitation are both disamenities, and households seek
 compensation of approximately US$5.46 ($2004) per month for a 1&deg;F
 increase in July temperatures and approximately US$4.50 ($2004) per month
 for a 1-inch increase in precipitation.

Title: The spatial pattern of soil sealing along the urban-rural gradient in a Mediterranean region 
Abstract:
 This paper explores the spatial distribution of soil sealing in a compact
 and mono-centric urban region of southern Europe through multivariate
 statistics and spatial analysis. The study demonstrates how simple
 indicators developed at the local scale can provide insight in the
 analysis of urbanisation-driven soil sealing. Based on a high-resolution
 land-use map, a 'sealing profile' was determined for each municipality of
 the Athens' urban region, by analysing the distribution of land occupied
 by 22 classes of imperviousness using a Principal Components Analysis.
 Four indicators of soil sealing have been developed (percentage of
 pervious land, per capita sealed land, soil sealing intensity and
 diversity in soil sealing intensity) and the investigated municipalities
 classified accordingly. All indicators were found correlated to the
 distance from the city centre of Athens. Three groups of municipalities
 (strictly urban, suburban and rural municipalities) have been identified
 based on the four sealing indicators and the distance from the inner city.
 Results suggest that the spatial distribution of soil sealing in Athens
 reflects the transition from a mono-centric and compact urban form to a
 polycentric and dispersed agglomeration, with implications for urban
 containment policies.

Title: Lots of value? A spatial hedonic approach to water quality valuation 
Abstract:
 Very few studies have addressed the effects of water quality on
 recreational values in a hedonic property price setting. This study
 elicits the value of improved water quality capitalised in Finnish
 recreational property prices adjacent to the Baltic Sea, lakes and rivers.
 In addition, spatial econometric methods are employed to address the
 spatial autocorrelation found in data. An expert-determined, water body
 specific water quality index that describes the usability status of the
 water is used instead of more specific, but also more problematic, water
 quality indicators. The study finds that water usability has a positive
 effect on property prices, with weak suggestions on non-linearity.

Title: Modelling US light pollution 
Abstract:
 This paper uses a unique US dataset to study the economic causes of light
 pollution at the local (county) level. Light pollution has been shown to
 have negative consequences for both wildlife and humans. Light pollution
 is a form of pollution commonly ignored by environmental professionals.
 Traditionally, light-pollution models focus on population-based
 explanations. This paper confirms the importance of population in
 understanding light pollution. However, the results highlight the
 importance of economic variables, especially local economic development,
 in explaining the existence and extent of light pollution. Estimated
 models show, for example, that local employment patterns, personal income,
 roads and energy use are all important explanatory variables. By
 highlighting the connections between light pollution and specific types of
 local economic activity, this paper provides policy makers with additional
 information that they can use to improve public policies intended to
 safeguard the environment and local wildlife.

Title: Linking resilience and sustainability in Ohio township planning 
Abstract:
 This study connects resilience and sustainability through comprehensive
 planning. We argue that communities with a comprehensive plan which
 promotes sustainable development exhibit resilience. We analyze 46
 township plans in Central Ohio, in the Midwestern Region of the United
 States, to examine plan sustainability. The findings show that the
 township plans do not provide balanced support of sustainability
 principles and so are not adequately prepared to withstand and adapt to
 exogenous shocks.

Title: Mapping areas of future urban growth in the Mgeni catchment 
Abstract:
 Due to increases in population and migration to cities, the areas of urban
 land use are increasing. This study models the plausible future urban
 growth in the Mgeni catchment in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, using the
 SLEUTH Urban Growth Model (SLEUTH). The SLEUTH acronym stands for the
 input layers required for the model <italic>viz</italic>.
 <bold>S</bold>lope, <bold>L</bold>and use, <bold>E</bold>xcluded areas,
 <bold>U</bold>rban Extent, <bold>T</bold>ransport routes and
 <bold>H</bold>illshade. The purpose of this study is to predict the scale
 and location of future urban growth, for use in hydrological impact
 assessment studies. SLEUTH was calibrated and applied to the Mgeni
 catchment to project future urban areas. The results revealed, when
 assessing the 95-100% probability class, that the Henley, Pietermaritzburg
 and Durban areas would experience the highest urban growth in the Mgeni
 catchment by the year 2050. It was concluded that the SLEUTH Model is
 suitable to account for the scale and location of future urban growth in
 the Mgeni catchment.

Title: How are public transaction costs in regional agri-environmental scheme delivery influenced by EU regulations? 
Abstract:
 Implementing agri-environmental schemes (AES) induces private and public
 transaction costs (TCs). To date, research has investigated TCs stemming
 from the relationship between (regional) administrations and farmers.
 However, implementing AES within the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)
 offers partial reimbursement of payments but implies an additional
 transaction and TCs. This paper investigates the effects of EU regulations
 on occurrence and composition of regional public TCs qualitatively by
 using Hesse, Germany, as a case study. Using insights from political
 science theories, I present results from interviews with administrative
 units: EU-required structural and procedural prerequisites shape the
 regional implementation and draw the focus towards expense of EU-based
 TCs. Moreover, there are spillovers onto farmers' TCs. Thus, the CAP
 framework is an important influencing factor, and resulting TCs may reduce
 the budgetary benefit obtained from the reimbursement.

Title: Measuring and managing ecosystem goods and services in changing landscapes: a south-east Australian perspective 
Abstract:
 This paper reviews approaches to measuring and managing the multiple
 ecosystem goods and services (ESS) provided by production landscapes. A
 synthesis of these approaches was used to analyse changes in supply of ESS
 in heavily cleared and fragmented production landscapes in south-east
 Australia. This included analysis of spatial and temporal trade-offs and
 synergies among multiple ESS. Spatially explicit, up-to-date and reliable
 information can be used to assess ESS supplied from different types of
 land uses and land cover and from different parts of a landscape. This can
 support effective management and payment systems for ESS in production
 landscapes.

Title: Incorporating climate change adaptation into local plans

 Local governments can encourage proactive action on climate change by
 incorporating adaptation measures into long-term planning documents. The
 authors undertook action-oriented, case study research by participating
 (as adaptation experts) in the process to create a sustainability and land
 use policy plan for the City of Prince George, Canada. A range of
 adaptation measures was incorporated into both documents. Factors enabling
 the incorporation of adaptation included a high level of local awareness,
 an existing adaptation strategy to draw upon and the flexible process used
 to create the plans. Challenges such as a lack of priority, limited policy
 direction and perceptions of climate change as solely an environmental
 challenge persist as barriers to incorporating adaptation into local
 plans, particularly in smaller centres.

Title: Implementing new EU environmental law: the short life of the UK Site Waste Management Plan Regulations 
Abstract:
 Using an analytical framework based on current implementation theory, this
 research examines the transposition of the EU Waste Framework Directive
 into UK law and local government development control procedures. The study
 which forms the basis of this paper was commissioned by the UK Government
 to evaluate the effectiveness of the construction Waste Management Plans
 introduced as a legal requirement in 2008. It was found that its
 implementation had largely failed and that these new laws had been
 ineffective. Subsequently, in March 2012 the UK Government announced its
 intention to withdraw these Regulations. In the context of current
 deregulatory pressures, but with the continuing need to minimise
 construction waste, this research concludes that more attention should be
 paid by central government to their current 'top-down' implementation
 procedures in order to better roll-out new environmental legislation in
 the future.

Title: "Learning is our Achilles heel". Conditions for long-term environmental policy integration in Swedish regional development programming 
Abstract:
 The aim of this paper is to explore how the capacity to integrate
 environmental sustainability in Swedish regional development programming
 has evolved over time, particularly focusing on what facilitates and
 restricts change in different stages of implementation. The study builds
 on focus group and individual interviews in four Swedish regions carried
 out in 2005 and 2011. The results suggest temporary and partial, rather
 than enduring and substantial, environmental policy integration (EPI). In
 2005 the main challenges were to allocate support, focus and prioritise
 beyond the national policy rhetoric of regional sustainable development,
 to identify regional applications beyond singular 'pockets of good
 practice' and to spread ownership and engagement for EPI from specific
 ambassadors to organisational mainstreaming. In 2011 we found evidence of
 a more mainstreamed approach of regional sustainable development, but with
 new challenges of policy diffusion and sectorisation as well as a strong
 sense of projectification. There is a need to develop arenas and processes
 for inter-sectoral exchange, interaction and learning to achieve a more
 systematic change - which is, in essence, what policy integration is all
 about.

Title: Redeveloping industrial land: are contamination and remediation schemes affecting the price of industrial real estate properties? 
Abstract:
 Redeveloping industrial land may run across obstacles, even within the
 same land-use designation, because previous industrial activities
 jeopardised the quality of the site. Contamination of soil and water is an
 example. Using a hedonic price method, this paper explores the effect of
 contamination and alternative remediation schemes on the industrial real
 estate property market. We consider the case of Porto Marghera in the
 Lagoon of Venice, a large and complex contaminated site listed on the
 Italian National Priority List (NPL). Our results indicate that the
 industrial real estate market rewards properties with a complete and
 certified clean-up scheme, while proximity to properties remediated with
 the 'permanent safety containment measures' negatively affects the selling
 price of nearby industrial properties. Characteristics of the properties,
 such as size, location, accessibility and other relevant economic
 indicators, do matter in explaining price differentials.

Title: Land use consequences of the evolution of cemeteries in the Bucharest Metropolitan Area 
Abstract:
 The uncontrolled development of built-up areas determines the inclusion of
 peripheral and ex-urban land uses inside the settlements. In the present
 study, we investigated the geographic differences in the rate of land
 conversion to cemetery areas, considered as peripheral areas, from the
 Bucharest Metropolitan Area. Using geospatial data about the cemeteries
 and their adjacent land uses, we evaluated the spatial changes of
 cemeteries at LAU2 (Local Administrative Units level 2) level (i.e.
 municipalities, cities, communes). Between 1975 and 2008, we observed an
 increase in the number of cemeteries with a surface area of 100.8 ha,
 mainly in areas with poor environmental quality in proximity of Bucharest
 city. Cemeteries tend to become common land uses within the built-up
 areas, occupying increasing surface areas (up to 3.5%), with important
 consequences, especially in areas close to Bucharest city. Cemeteries are
 a good example of peripheral land use, characterised by a permanent impact
 on human settlements. The inclusion of peripheral land uses inside the
 settlements promotes urban sprawl, favours inefficient strategic planning
 and generates new land use interactions. An increase in the management
 efficiency of peripheral land uses can alleviate negative interactions and
 favour sound planning options for the sustainability of settlements.

Title: Assessing effects of site characteristics on remediation secondary life cycle impact with a generalised framework 
Abstract:
 The 'sustainable remediation' concept has been broadly embraced by
 industry and governments in recent years in both the US and Europe.
 However, there is a strong need for more research to enhance its
 'practicability'. In an attempt to fill this research gap, this study
 developed a generalised framework for selecting the most environmentally
 sustainable remedial technology under various site conditions. Four
 remediation technologies were evaluated: pump and treat (P&T), enhanced
 <italic>in situ</italic> bioremediation (EIB), permeable reactive barrier
 (PRB), and <italic>in situ</italic> chemical reduction (ISCR). Within the
 developed framework and examined site condition ranges, our results
 indicate that site characteristics have a profound effect on the life
 cycle impact of various remedial alternatives, thus providing insights and
 valuable information for determining what is considered the most desired
 remedy from an environmental sustainability perspective.

Title: Combining life cycle analysis, human health and financial risk assessment for the evaluation of contaminated site remediation 
Abstract:
 In the present study, the REC (Risk reduction, Environmental Merit and
 Costs), ReCiPe and PRINCE-super-TM methods for the estimation of the
 environmental, health and financial impacts of a soil remediation process
 have been evaluated. The evaluation was based on a case study in which a
 choice had to been made between soil excavation and steam extraction for
 the remediation of a former oil and fat processing plant. The example
 shows that it is complicated to come to one overall best remediation
 option, especially when different stakeholder preferences have to be taken
 into account. Results of the case study suggest that, besides
 environmental and human health and cost, the financial risk associated
 with the remediation project is also an important aspect to include in the
 evaluation.

Title: Governing the ice. Ice fishing villages on Lake Mille Lacs and the creation of environmental governance institutions 
Abstract:
 We identify four choice dimensions that determine the configuration and
 evolution of governance: formal-informal institutions, network-central
 steering, local-scientific knowledge and representation-participation.
 Choices on one dimension affect choices on the other dimensions, which
 naturally leads to historical dependency. We integrate these insights in a
 model of governance evolution that revolves around actor/institution
 configurations and power/knowledge configurations. In a case study of ice
 fishing villages on Minnesota's Lake Mille Lacs, we investigate one
 specific set of couplings between the choice dimensions. As we can study
 the local ice fishing tradition from its very beginning, the evolutionary
 paths of technology and institutions provide insights into how choices
 were made along the different dimensions and how they interacted. The case
 study illustrates how to apply the model, but also contributes to its
 further development as it draws attention to possible extensions: concepts
 of scale and identity.

Title: The role of environmental management systems in the Canadian Voluntary Climate and Challenge Registry 
Abstract:
 This study evaluates the Canadian Voluntary Climate and Challenge Registry
 (VCR), an important policy in Canada's approach to climate change during
 the 1990s. First, we relate the set of practices prescribed under the VCR
 to the well-established Plan-Do-Check-Act framework of environmental
 management systems (EMSs). We then examine VCR adoption and find that
 firms with past experience with management systems and firms in provinces
 with different legal, economic and institutional factors were more likely
 to adopt VCR. We do not find, however, EMS adopters under the VCR had
 significantly different GHG releases than non-adopters in the immediate
 years after the VCR programme ended.

Title: Long-term evolution of campus noise emissions: a case of new university development 
Abstract:
 A campus may impact the surrounding area in various ways, such as by the
 noise emissions. We analysed the campus noise emissions from the viewpoint
 of total activity volume and measured the noise levels within a new
 university campus, and at selected points in a neighbouring village, over
 a 10-year period. The results of the analysis confirm that the long-term
 evolution of noise emissions was correlated with the volume of activity on
 the campus. This study can provide guidance on how to conduct an
 environmental impact assessment for a campus, or assist in determining the
 most suitable location for a campus.

Title: Co-management and the creation of national parks in Indonesia: positive lessons learned from the Togean Islands National Park 
Abstract:
 This study considers the establishment of parks and protected areas in
 relation to local governance in Indonesia through the example of the
 Togean Islands National Park in Central Sulawesi. Effective management of
 the park requires collaborative processes that engage local resource
 users. Co-management provides an important model for sustainable
 governance, but creating a co-management system is complicated and time
 consuming. The authors examine the initial stages of planning and
 establishing the park and outline four successful social developments
 within these processes that can aid in the creation of a co-management
 system.

Title: Heterogeneity in the WTP for recreational access: distributional aspects 
Abstract:
 In this study we have addressed appropriate modelling of heterogeneity in
 willingness to pay (WTP) for environmental goods, and have demonstrated
 its importance using a case of forest access in Denmark. We compared WTP
 distributions for four models: (1) a multinomial logit model, (2) a mixed
 logit model assuming a univariate Normal distribution, (3) or assuming a
 multivariate Normal distribution allowing for correlation across
 attributes, and (4) a mixture of two truncated Normal distributions,
 allowing for correlation among attributes. In the first two models mean
 WTP for enhanced access was negative. However, models accounting for
 preference heterogeneity found a positive mean WTP, but a large sub-group
 with negative WTP. Accounting for preference heterogeneity can alter
 overall conclusions, which highlights the importance of this for policy
 recommendations.

Title: Understanding SME responses to environmental regulation 
Abstract:
 Interviews with UK manufacturing SMEs (small and medium enterprises)
 confirm, in aggregate, that traditional regulation drives environmental
 behaviour. Yet, beneath this aggregate picture, there are groups of firms
 that respond to regulation differently. Furthermore, within the aggregate
 and group levels there exist further differences across firms. SME
 responses can thus be understood as groups and subgroups of firms that at
 the same time are distinct. These identifiable differences result from
 firms' <italic>capacities</italic> and <italic>orientations</italic>,
 which are factors that determine receptiveness to regulation. The findings
 provide a more sophisticated account of SME behaviour than existed
 previously, and help us understand why and how regulatory measures may
 underperform.

Title: Pricing mechanisms for cap and trade policies: computer-assisted smart markets for air quality 
Abstract:
 The process of calculating market clearing prices for cap and trade
 environmental pollution policies dealing with both air and water pollution
 remains problematic. The permit trading processes are designed to mimic
 the cost minimisation outcome. In the paper we design the market process
 for allocating permits to achieve the same type of behaviour we observe
 for each decision maker in the overall cost minimisation model. We aim to
 develop a modelling system that would be easy and efficient to operate. We
 use the method which is known as a computer-assisted 'smart market' and
 has been used in a number of electric energy pricing situations. This
 approach has also been proposed and applied to some types of environmental
 quality and resource management policies. In the paper the theoretical
 structure of the 'smart market' model is provided. After the review of
 different models that have been used to represent permit trading
 situations, the smart market model structure based on the shadow prices is
 developed.

Title: Examining the impact of land use/land cover characteristics on flood losses 
Abstract:
 Characteristics of the built environment and overall local-level land use
 patterns are increasingly being attributed to greater surface runoff,
 flooding and resulting economic losses from flood events. Specific
 configurations of impervious surfaces and land cover may be as important
 to determining a community's flood risk as baseline environmental
 conditions. This study addresses this issue by statistically examining the
 impacts of adjacent land use and land cover (LULC) on flood damage
 recorded on parcels within a coastal watershed in southeast Texas. We
 analyse empirical models to identify the influence of different LULCs
 surrounding over 7900 properties claiming insured flood losses from
 1999-2009. Results indicate that specific types of surrounding LULCs
 impact observed flood losses and provide guidance on how neighbourhoods
 can be developed more resiliently over the long term.

Title: Co-managing carbon and air quality: pros and cons of local sustainability initiatives 
Abstract:
 This paper reports the pros and cons of co-management (i.e. concerted
 actions towards climate change and air quality management) through local
 sustainability initiatives using three case studies, each encompassing the
 planning and management issues at local government levels. Case study I is
 policy-based and reports the outcome of a consultation exercise while case
 studies II and III have greater scientific bearing. These case studies
 pave the way for development of a more integrated Climate Change Strategy
 Action Plan at local scales, specifically regarding policies on emissions
 sources from transportation and decentralised energy. They highlight the
 merits and the trade-offs of implementing local scale co-management
 practices, using a more integrated planning framework than what is
 currently under offer. We recognise that delivery of such ambitious,
 cross-cutting agenda may be impeded, primarily owing to limited expertise
 in assessing the synergies and the expected outcomes from cross-fertility
 between these two arenas. This calls for a step-change through more
 cohesive, cross-disciplinary policy frameworks, going beyond the local
 administrative spheres to maximise the co-management potentials while
 mitigating the wider environmental impacts.

Title: The risk of social-psychological disruption as an impact of energy development and environmental change 
Abstract:
 Environmental psychologists and sociologists examining community
 acceptance of energy development have recently argued that disruption to
 social-psychological values such as attachment and community- and
 place-based identity may drive oppositional behaviour to large land use
 changes. This review supports and expands this argument by showing that
 social and psychological disruption has been documented throughout
 sometimes disparate academic literatures as among the most troublesome
 aspects of large development projects. This collection of literature
 demonstrates the threat of disruption to place-based identities may spur
 oppositional behaviour in many cases. In addition, some of these studies
 have shown that social actors may attempt to influence residents'
 perception of these social-psychological risks by framing the effects of
 development as either congruent or incongruent with certain place and
 community-based identities. We further discuss the field of risk analysis
 and its relationship to opposition to land use planning, and argue that
 that the tools of risk analysis can be used to measure and predict these
 types of disruptions to social-psychological values.

Title: Water tradable permits: a review of theoretical and case studies 
Abstract:
 Over the last few years the growing problems of water scarcity and water
 pollution have induced ever increasing attention towards the application
 of market mechanisms based on tradable permits in the water sector,
 similar to those adopted for air pollution. In spite of the growing
 interest surrounding this instrument, a general critical valuation of the
 application of tradable permits for water management is still missing in
 the literature. This paper aims to fill this gap by critically analysing
 the experiences of various countries who have adopted tradable water
 permit programmes, underlining both the advantages and disadvantages that
 have emerged in each case, in order to provide useful indications for
 possible future applications in other regions. Despite the merits of
 tradable water permits and their success in some contexts, the case
 studies analysed highlight the existence of significant difficulties
 during implementation, which can prevent the full functioning of such an
 instrument.

Title: Strategic Environmental Assessment and spatial planning in Italy: sustainability, integration and democracy 
Abstract:
 This paper investigates the application of Strategic Environmental
 Assessment (SEA) to spatial planning in Italy. We discuss SEA
 effectiveness by focusing on three main dimensions: sustainable
 development, environmental policy integration and democratic governance.
 The methodology includes the analysis of 27 SEA reports and interviews
 with key actors. Findings suggest that SEA is beginning to insinuate
 ecological rationality and improving environmental policy integration
 across planning levels and disciplinary boundaries. SEA also leads to
 progress in transparency and communication, whereas the actual involvement
 of the public in decision making is still weak. Future developments may
 address the potential contribution of SEA to focusing planning on
 long-term, shared, visions of socio-ecological systems.

Title: Stakeholder analysis in a protected natural park: case study from Slovenia 
Abstract:
 Stakeholder analysis is the key step towards a successful participatory
 spatial planning. The case study of the protected area in designation
 features stakeholder analysis as a tool in defining the salience of the
 stakeholders' involvement in the designation and the operations of the
 Kamni&scaron;ko-Savinjske Alps Regional Park in Slovenia. The salience of
 a stakeholder was determined using a flexible method using numerical
 evaluations of three stakeholder attributes: power, legitimacy and
 interest. Local farmers and residents are the key stakeholders in the
 research area. The survey explored which stakeholders they believe are
 necessary in individual phases of the protected area and how they would
 participate. The salience of different stakeholder groups varies during
 various project stages. Consequently, the perception of how and to what
 extent those stakeholders should participate also varies.

Title: Evaluating environmental policy instruments mixes; a methodology illustrated by noise policy in the Netherlands 
Abstract:
 Environmental policy is characterised by complexity, in causes and
 effects, resulting in various combinations of policy instruments. However,
 evaluating these policy instrument mixes and assessing their effectiveness
 is difficult because of a lack of methodological approaches. This paper
 therefore proposes a methodology which comprises: (a) describing the
 underlying policy theory; (b) describing the policy instruments; (c)
 analysing goal attainment; and (d) evaluating effectiveness, focusing on
 coverage of points of intervention, steering power of policy instruments
 and coherence of the policy instruments mix. The methodology is
 illustrated with an evaluation of noise policy in the Netherlands - a
 typical complex policy domain in which a mix of policy instruments has
 been in place for decades, and thus provides a good empirical case.

Title: Assessing the relationship between objective and subjective indicators of residential exposure to road traffic noise in the context of environmental justice 
Abstract:
 Noise action planning according to the EU Environmental Noise Directive
 aims to improve people's health. Although health inequalities exist, the
 Directive does not address social inequalities in residential exposure to
 road traffic noise. In multivariate regression analyses based on two urban
 study populations, we assess the relationship between objective and
 subjective indicators of residential exposure to road traffic noise as an
 issue of environmental justice. Residential neighbourhood satisfaction,
 socio-demographic and -economic, health-related and noise-related
 attitudinal factors were included as covariates additionally explaining
 the subjective response to road traffic noise (noise annoyance). Our
 results underline the need to select, operationalise and examine
 noise-related indicators very carefully, as objective noise exposure
 predicts noise annoyance insufficiently. Otherwise, urban environmental
 planning might miss environmentally unjust situations and fail to initiate
 distributive and procedural environmental justice.

Title: Public participation in environmental impact assessment for public projects: a case of non-participation 
Abstract:
 Public participation in environmental impact assessment is recognised as
 key to sustainable development. However, its role in public projects in
 China remains limited. The issue of non-participation is explored by
 focusing on the attitude and capacity of the citizens who experienced the
 Wuhan-Guangzhou High Speed Railway project through interviews and field
 surveys in multiple geographical sites along the line. Passive attitudes
 and low capacity were observed. While some respondents considered
 participation in government-owned projects unthinkable, most of them were
 discouraged by the absence of a sense of security and significance.
 Institutional barriers identified include a lack of participation channels
 and project information and the absence of transparent and proper
 processes of handling social impacts. Policy suggestions beyond the
 regulatory realm to encourage effective public participation are provided.

Title: Assessing sense of place in natural settings: a mixed-method approach 
Abstract:
 Sense of place is an important concept for understanding how people
 construct relations with their surroundings. A thorough analysis of place
 meanings needs to consider (1) natural and anthropogenic features that are
 the sources of place formation; (2) scales over which these features
 occur; (3) the range of potential responses to these features; and (4)
 functional and emotional forms of place attachment. However, previous
 approaches to assessing sense of place have not encompassed all these
 elements. Using case studies of two Tasmanian protected areas, we
 demonstrate a mixed-method approach that enabled comprehensive assessment
 of stakeholders' senses of place.

Title: Driving construction contractors to adopt carbon reduction strategies - an Australian approach 
Abstract:
 This paper reports a study that examines the effect of some key drivers on
 the construction contractors' adoption of carbon reduction strategies. An
 industry survey was conducted in Victoria, Australia, for data collection.
 Interviews with industry experts were conducted to validate the survey
 findings. The results indicate that most carbon reduction strategies are
 not being adopted in construction projects. Such findings are in line with
 scholars' comments on the construction contractors as being apathetic to
 reduce carbon emissions. The findings further suggested levies on carbon
 emissions, rewarding schemes and training and education as the effective
 drivers of carbon reduction. This study contributes to a deeper
 understanding about driving contractors' behavioural change to achieve
 carbon reduction. This provides valuable insights into devising pragmatic
 measures to reduce carbon emissions in projects.

Title: Contextualising site factors for feasibility analysis 
Abstract:
 This paper explores the utility of site analysis as one factor in
 determining the feasibility of a proposed development in relation to
 organisational objectives. Feasibility analysis models frequently include
 site analysis as one factor in the broader study. However, site analysis
 for site planning and design is generally presented under the assumptions
 of a more advanced stage of planning than can be admitted by the
 constraints imposed by a feasibility analysis in the pre-start up phase of
 a proposed development. Site analysis in the context of feasibility
 analysis requires a model that emphasises its capacity for making a 'go/no
 go' decision on a proposed development programme based on uncertainty,
 limited resources and multiple stakeholder interests. From the multiple
 criteria decision-making literature a method is developed and applied to
 determine the fitness of a site for supporting a proposed tourism
 development. Moreover, the proposed site analysis matrix and coding scheme
 provides practitioners with parameters that can inform subsequent site
 planning actions. While application of the concept bears limitations in
 quantitative measurement and spatial representation, the results suggest
 the proposed method for site analysis is beneficial and useful in the
 context of feasibility analysis.

Title: Dynamics of lake-level fluctuations and economic activity 
Abstract:
 This paper examines the relationship between lake level and economic
 activity in the context of population growth, regional economic
 conditions, and the seasonal nature of economic activity. Quarterly
 economic activity in four economic entities (i.e. three municipalities and
 the county) is examined in a multivariate time series analysis that
 accounts for the change in population, context of regional unemployment
 and seasonal variation. The results of the multivariate time series
 analysis demonstrate that lake level has a negative curvilinear
 relationship with economic activity. This relationship is limited to the
 retail trade sector in the nearest municipality, which also has the least
 diversified economy. Tests show that prior lake levels can forecast retail
 trade in this limited case, which indicates lake level is causally prior
 to retail trade.

Title: Investigating the use of environmental benefits in the policy decision process: a qualitative study focusing on the EU water policy 
Abstract:
 This paper presents the use of environmental benefits in the policy-making
 process in nine European countries. Growing competition for financial
 resources suggests that a precise understanding of the benefits provided
 by policies is needed. In particular, the environmental co-benefits that
 environmental policies offer must be more thoroughly investigated. Yet
 because there is often a focus on systems rather than individual species
 or specific environmental factors it becomes more difficult to
 characterise benefits. This paper shows that the role of environmental
 benefits to advise policy action differs across selected European
 countries. Environmental benefits are used at different stages of the
 policy cycle and for different purposes. In many cases they are not used
 to inform high level decision making but to stimulate public debate or to
 develop more targeted legislative proposals.

Title: Public sector voluntary initiatives: the adoption of the environmental management system by public waste water treatment facilities in the United States 
Abstract:
 This study examines the determinants of Environment Management System
 (EMS) adoption by public wastewater treatment facilities in the US. Based
 on the literature, it considers the range of regulatory, market and
 political influences on EMS adoption. The paper also incorporates prior
 work on publicness theory to articulate possible sectoral differences
 related to voluntary policy adoption. Hypotheses are tested using ordered
 logistic regression on data from a national survey of public wastewater
 treatment facilities in the US. Findings indicate that public wastewater
 treatment facilities that perceive stricter environmental regulation and
 greater attention from environmental groups and the public are more likely
 to voluntarily adopt an EMS. In addition, facilities reporting a higher
 degree of publicness are more likely to adopt in response to politician
 demands and when they apply greater amounts of biosolids to land. The
 findings carry implications for policy makers who aim to encourage public
 sector voluntary initiatives.

 Domestic gardens have been found to contribute between 16-36% of the total
 urban area in different cities. They play a prominent role in ecosystem
 services including water retention and local climate regulation. We
 developed a tool that evaluates the rainwater retention efficiency of
 parcels (REP). This tool took inspiration from the Biotope Area Factor
 (BAF), which uses intuitive weighting parameters. Quantitative runoff
 values obtained from scientific literature form the base of REP, which was
 incorporated in a GIS to simplify the input. REP and BAF values were
 compared for a sample of detached, semi-detached and terraced houses.

Title: Social learning in collaborative watershed planning: the importance of process control and efficacy 
Abstract:
 Collaborative environmental management with stakeholder engagement is
 increasingly employed around the world. A key component of collaboration
 is social learning; through deliberation, stakeholders with different
 perspectives and information can learn from each other and develop a
 shared vision and plan for moving forward. This study compares social
 learning in collaborative watershed partnerships across two states within
 federal systems: Ohio (USA) and Niedersachsen (Germany). Analysis
 indicates that, although processes in both contexts generated social
 learning, Ohio partnerships exhibited significantly higher levels. A key
 difference linked to these results is the higher levels of local process
 control and individual efficacy in Ohio.

Title: Sectorial variation in the quality of environmental impact statements and factors influencing the quality 
Abstract:
				 This paper assesses the overall quality of
 the EISs of four major sectors and the variation in quality of the EISs
 among the four sectors in Bangladesh. While there are ample studies on the
 overall quality of EISs irrespective of sectors, there is a lack of
 research focus in Bangladesh or elsewhere on how the quality of EISs
 varies by sectors. This study reviews 40 EISs of four major sectors in
 Bangladesh by using the Lee-Colley method. The review findings indicate
 that, in general, the quality of EISs in Bangladesh is satisfactory.
 However, there is a variation in the quality of EISs by sectors where EISs
 for two sectors are found to be below the satisfactory level. The reasons
 behind the variation in the quality of EISs by sector are analysed.
 Furthermore, this paper analyses the factors influencing the overall
 quality of EISs in Bangladesh as 35% of EISs are still poorly prepared.
 The factors responsible for the poor performance of EISs include
 inadequate study time, the lack of baseline data, weak EIA teams, the lack
 of EIA experts, inadequate funds and weak Terms of Reference.

Title: Investigating the factors affecting companies' attitudes towards CSR and CER during the fiscal crisis in Greece 
Abstract:
				 This paper explores, through a relevant
 survey, the factors affecting companies' behaviour towards Corporate
 Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSR and CER) and how the fiscal
 crisis in Greece may change companies' perceptions towards them. All
 responses were appropriately analysed using multivariate statistical
 techniques, and showed that companies' attitude towards CSR/CER is mainly
 associated with the management systems applied. In addition, it is
 strongly related to financial results, which are influenced by the
 recession and the bank credit accessibility problems. Moreover, companies
 believe that issues such as a company's financial results,
 reputation/image, market-share/sales etc. are considered as significant
 incentives to implement CSR/CER actions.

Title: Shifting nature conservation approaches in Natura 2000 and the implications for the roles of stakeholders 
Abstract:
				 This paper analyses Natura 2000 as a
 shifting configuration of different approaches to nature conservation and
 discusses the consequences of these shifts for the roles of the
 stakeholders affected by this policy. Natura 2000 started with a
 technocratic approach that privileged conservation experts and
 marginalised socio-economic stakeholders. Over time, this approach has
 been complemented with participatory and economic approaches that offered
 scope for the inclusion of land users and business actors. However, the
 analysis also shows that the selective inclusion of economic values and
 stakeholders in the Natura 2000 framework risks marginalising other
 important socio-environmental actors.

Title: Knowledge integration in the management of coastal conflicts in urban areas: two cases from Sweden 
Abstract:
				 High anthropogenic pressure on coastal
 ecosystems, competition for natural resources and climate change are major
 challenges to the sustainable management of coastal areas. Two cases of
 resource use conflicts in coastal urban areas in the south and west of
 Sweden analysed here illustrate these challenges. The social practices of
 using and integrating knowledge and joint learning in conflict resolution
 show that dominant actors and their knowledge practices have a strong
 influence on conflict resolution and its outcomes. Improved conflict
 resolution requires more efforts to achieve knowledge integration and
 joint learning of stakeholders in open, dialogue-based strategies in all
 phases of the resolution process.

Title: Planning and competing interests: testing the mediating influence of planning capacity on smart growth policy adoption 
Abstract:
				 Land use policy can generate substantial
 conflict between pro-growth and slow-growth interests. Based on the
 collaborative planning model, one of the many roles of the professional
 planner is to mediate conflict and generate support among fragmented
 interests in policy aimed at mitigating the effects from sprawl. The
 analysis uses original data collected from cities and towns in the state
 of Massachusetts. This study empirically tests the effect a divergence
 between local interest groups in the support for planning efforts has on
 the adoption of smart growth policy. Methodologically, interaction terms
 are used to test the hypothesis that local planning capacity, in the form
 of professional planning staff and formal planning mechanisms, mediates
 this divergence. The results provide insight into how communities can
 overcome the challenges of interest group divergence in planning for
 'smarter' growth and more sustainable environmental land use practices.

Title: The role of an integrated coastal management framework in the long-term restoration of Yundang Lagoon, Xiamen, China 
Abstract:
				 Thirty years ago, Yundang Lagoon, located
 in the centre of Xiamen in southeast China, was heavily polluted. A series
 of clean-up projects have been implemented since the 1980s. After three
 phases of restoration projects, the lagoon's environment quality has
 improved significantly, although it is not fully restored. Clean-up
 activities are still ongoing. In 1994, Xiamen became the first city in
 China to adopt an Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) strategy to address
 its coastal environmental problems. The restoration of Yundang Lagoon
 remained a priority and has been a key issue in the development of the
 city's pollution abatement and environmental management strategy. This
 study reviews and examines the restoration efforts and management scheme
 of Yundang Lagoon from 1988 to the present, analyses the environmental
 changes, explores the challenges of its restoration and analyses the
 benefits of ICM to its long-term restoration by extracting six key
 principles. Specific suggestions are proposed for future restoration and
 management work. Findings from this review may have general implications
 for decision makers to formulate future sustainability and management
 strategies on coastal environment restoration programmes.

Title: Management of natural resources in a conflicting environment in Ghana: unmasking a messy policy problem 
Abstract:
				 Resource use conflict is an enduring
 problem for science and policy making. Using in-depth interviews and focus
 group discussions with resource users, policy makers and key informants,
 we explored four case examples of resource use conflict within lands and
 forestry, fisheries, oil and the mining sectors in Ghana. Results indicate
 that resource use conflict consists of a complex, non-linear system of
 balancing and reinforcing feedback loops that recur across resource
 sectors. The conflicts are difficult to clearly define, have many
 interdependencies and are multi-causal. Specifically, dysfunctional
 policy, commoditisation of land, infringement on rights of users, shift
 from communal to private land ownership, renegotiation of rights, and
 unclear roles and responsibilities of government agencies, exacerbate
 conflicts among resource users, managers and policy makers in Ghana. In
 addition, supranational policy such as the protocol of the Economic
 Community of West African States, which promotes free movement of people
 and goods within the 16-nation community, is a driver of conflict between
 native farmers and nomadic Fulani herders. Clear policy directions from
 government that outlines the specific roles of various departments
 involved in resource issues together with a holistic community
 participatory approach is therefore required to comprehensively understand
 and address such conflicts.

Title: Scale sensitivity and question order in the contingent valuation method 
Abstract:
				 This study examines the effect on
 respondents' willingness to pay to reduce mortality risk by the order of
 the questions in a stated preference study. Using answers from an
 experiment conducted on a Swedish sample where respondents' cognitive
 ability was measured and where they participated in a contingent valuation
 survey, it was found that scale sensitivity is strongest when respondents
 are asked about a smaller risk reduction first ('bottom-up' approach).
 This contradicts some previous evidence in the literature. It was also
 found that the respondents' cognitive ability is more important for
 showing scale sensitivity when respondents are asked about a larger risk
 reduction first ('top-down' approach), also reinforcing the result that a
 'bottom-up' approach is more consistent with answers in line with
 theoretical predictions for a larger proportion of respondents.

Title: Factors explaining the adoption and impact of LEED-based green building policies at the municipal level 
Abstract:
 The number of green buildings certified under voluntary, third-party
 rating systems has been growing, as has the number of jurisdictions that
 require or incentivise such certification. In this paper, we use logistic
 and linear regression to demonstrate that for all cities in the US with
 population greater than 50,000, there is a statistically significant
 relationship between the presence of a municipal green building policy and
 the number of registered green buildings (those still under construction),
 but not the number of certified buildings. We present very strong evidence
 that the presence of a policy is indeed leading to more green buildings,
 rather than demographic or other factors.

Title: Social science and socialising: adopting causal layered analysis to reveal multi-stakeholder perceptions of natural resource management in Australia 
Abstract:
 The social context of Natural Resource Management (NRM) in Australia is
 now considered to be a major contributing factor behind the success or
 failure of landscape improvement programmes. This paper investigates NRM
 social issues via an alternative interpretative method, Causal Layered
 Analysis (CLA). CLA was utilised in nine focus groups, comprising
 landholders and staff from NRM regional bodies in central west New South
 Wales. A multitude of stakeholder concerns emerged, particularly regarding
 the concept of sustainability and confusion over roles and
 responsibilities. We propose that continued use of CLA by those in the
 local catchment community can help overcome complexity in the social
 landscape and lead to more engaged and empowered communities.

Title: Evaluating the Australian Defence Force stakeholder participation at Shoalwater Bay Training Area, Queensland, Australia 
Abstract:
 Stakeholder participation has become a popular management approach and its
 significance has been widely recognised. There is a lack of studies
 regarding evaluation of stakeholder participation, especially in
 environmental management by defence sectors. This paper examines how the
 Australian Defence Force (ADF) involves stakeholders in environmental
 management and its effectiveness, using Shoalwater Bay Training Area,
 Queensland, as a case study. Based on the combination of field
 observations, extensive interviews, a public questionnaire survey and
 relevant analyses, this study concluded that, overall, stakeholder
 participation was considered by respondents to be marginally effective.
 Recommendations were finally provided to improve the ADF's stakeholder
 participation in the future.

Title: Evaluating mitigation and calibration techniques for hypothetical bias in choice experiments 
Abstract:
 Due to the persistence of hypothetical bias in contingent valuation, some
 researchers have turned to choice experiments to value the
 multi-dimensions of non-marketed goods that may not be as prone to the
 bias. The recent empirical studies of choice experiments have found it may
 also be prone to hypothetical bias. This paper investigates what role
 mitigation and calibration techniques such as cheap-talk scripts and
 follow-up certainty questions can play in mitigating or calibrating for
 hypothetical bias in choice experiments. While these techniques are not as
 straightforward in choice experiments, due to their multiple-choice
 nature, the findings indicate that hypothetical bias may not be present
 when using a local quasi-public good in the valuation exercise. In
 addition, cheap-talk and follow-up certainty are found to reduce marginal
 willingness to pay estimates to be less than actual willingness to pay
 estimates.

Title: Green Rural Enterprises: guidelines for empowering local groups towards sustainable ventures 
Abstract:
 In developing countries rural communities frequently face conditions of
 economic poverty, yet these areas are often rich in natural resources and
 biodiversity. We propose the concept of Green Rural Enterprise (GRE) and a
 methodology for its assessment by scoring 38 indicators based upon: (1)
 wise use of natural resources, (2) territorial rural development, (3)
 local rural groups and (4) sustainability-driven enterprise. Three cases
 of the auto-evaluation of community-based ecotourism groups are presented,
 where self-assessment is emphasised as an empowering tool. This method is
 useful for NGOs and funding agencies to compare and evaluate conservation
 ventures and to facilitate joint-work between them.

Title: The logics of surplus food redistribution 
Abstract:
 Surplus food redistribution has been promoted as a way of reducing food
 waste and food poverty. Informed by an exploratory qualitative case study
 of third sector actors in north east England, this paper explores the
 logics of surplus food redistribution. The framings and qualities (logics)
 ascribed to surplus foods as they flow through the food chain are
 examined, following an economy of qualities approach. Existing literature
 constructs surplus food and those involved in its utilisation as beyond
 market mechanisms and relations. This is challenged by the research that
 suggests the practices are never independent of their market attachment
 and reflect a continuum of food system flows and relationships, concerning
 the management of economic, environmental and social qualities and
 relations. The paper concludes that unless a distinction is drawn between
 genuine waste to be recovered and surplus to be redistributed for
 community benefit, surplus food as a resource is unlikely to be fully
 utilised.

Title: Viability of using global standards for neighbourhood sustainability assessment: insights from a comparative case study 
Abstract:
 Neighbourhoods are increasingly gaining attention as planning units of
 great potential for contribution to sustainable development. Many
 assessment tools such as LEED-ND, BREEAM Communities and CASBEE-UD have
 been developed to examine the sustainability of neighbourhood development
 projects. Some of these tools are claimed to be suitable for assessment in
 different contexts, and LEED-ND has already been utilised in various
 countries. This study investigates the viability of using global standards
 through a series of comparative case studies. One certified case from each
 of the aforementioned tools is chosen and evaluated against its
 non-corresponding assessment tools. Selected cases are, respectively, Hoyt
 Yards, MediaCityUK and Koshigaya Lake Town. Results of this study provide
 evidence that casts doubt on the viability of using global standards. The
 paper concludes that neighbourhood sustainability assessment should be
 regarded as a pluralistic practice. This implies that any realistic and
 reliable assessment should take account of the specificities of specific
 locations and varying needs of different stakeholders.

Title: Disaster governance and community resilience: reflections on Typhoon Morakot in Taiwan 
Abstract:
 Typhoon Morakot triggered flooding and mudslides in various areas and
 devastated Aboriginal	villages located near areas under construction by
 the Water Diversion Project in Kaohsiung County. This paper examines the
 controversy surrounding Typhoon Morakot in Taiwan from the perspective of
 disaster governance. This study provides competing perspectives regarding
 who was responsible for causing the disaster. Post-disaster reconstruction
 initiatives by the government tend to adopt a technical approach to risk,
 and do not incorporate the complex social and cultural dimensions of
 vulnerability and sustainability. This perspective reflects misrecognition
 problems, and the lack of empowerment and participation in governance by
 residents, as well as their exclusion in decision making. Aboriginal civic
 groups have various methods of interacting with local residents to
 alleviate the suffering of survivors, promoting tribal culture and
 building resilient communities. This continuing development of social
 interactions and new forms of engagement will effectuate transformation
 and contribute to broader reflections on the Morakot disaster and social
 capability and building resilience.

Title: Climate change, adaptation and Eco-Art in Singapore 
Abstract:
 Eco-Art has recently emerged as a potential means to place emphasis on
 environmental issues such as climate change, recycling and the metabolism
 of the city experienced both materially and conceptually within local,
 regional and global contexts. Such art presents the possibility of shaping
 civic practices in arenas beyond those of traditional planning domains.
 Adopting a pragmatic approach, which recognises the contextual pluralism
 that exists in debates regarding climate change, this paper is interested
 in how Eco-Art projects encourage the re-imagining of urban spaces within
 the context of sustainability, and flows of materials and the recycling of
 plastic in art specifically.

Title: Outlining policy responses to stimulate automotive car demand by environmental impact reduction 
Abstract:
 The aim of this paper is to propose an alternative approach for outlining
 policy responses to stimulate the automotive industry. The scientific
 community has developed and employed the Delphi method to collect and
 convey perspectives and impressions, and also define a number of
 financially viable proposals. The panel of experts takes the view that
 traditional industrial policy measures denote limited effects to stimulate
 car demand, in a context of a macro-economic downturn. By contrast, the
 panel also believe incentives for car demand are important for
 environmental purposes, for safety and for the diversification of energy
 sources. The policy measures proposed are fundamental from the viewpoint
 of overturning path dependencies in the automotive industry which impede
 the diffusion of alternative vehicles, with respect to business models and
 consumer attitudes.

Title: Tribal institutions and conservation of the bioculturally valuable '<italic>tasat</italic>' (<italic>Arenga obtusifolia</italic>) tree in the eastern Himalaya 
Abstract:
 This study reports on the biocultural dimensions of the
 <italic>tasat</italic> (<italic>Arenga obtusifolia</italic> Griff.) tree
 and its conservation by various informal institutions of the
 <italic>Adi</italic> tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The study included
 240 <italic>Adi</italic> community members (120 men and 120 women)
 residing in 12 villages of the East Siang and Upper Siang districts of
 Arunachal Pradesh. The study was conducted using personal interviews and
 participatory methods. Results indicated that the stem of
 <italic>tasat</italic> is used as a traditional food during droughts and
 in preparing an ethnic beverage. <italic>Tasat</italic> is being conserved
 by the <italic>Adi</italic> tribe in various habitats. Plant populations
 of <italic>tasat</italic> were observed relatively higher in Upper Siang
 than the East Siang district. The study found differences in the status of
 biocultural knowledge between genders and different age groups.
 <italic>Kebang</italic> and <italic>reglep</italic> are two indigenous
 institutions of men and women, respectively, and play leading roles in
 sustaining <italic>tasat</italic> plants in various habitats. Women of the
 Upper Siang district still maintain a knowledge network for diffusing
 biocultural knowledge related to <italic>tasat</italic>, among others,
 through a barter system. Changing land use patterns in agriculture affects
 <italic>tasat</italic> conservation. The value addition for
 <italic>tasat</italic> based products, and rewarding women who conserve
 <italic>tasat</italic>, can enhance the sustainability of
 <italic>tasat</italic> based on biocultural knowledge and institutions.

Title: Key actor perspectives on stakeholder engagement in Omani Environmental Impact Assessment: an application of Q-Methodology 
Abstract:
 Stakeholder engagement (SE), particularly with representatives of locally
 affected communities, is integral to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
 processes, so critical evaluation of SE is necessary across a range of
 different socio-political contexts. EIA SE practice in the Sultanate of
 Oman is examined using Q-Methodology, a qualitative-quantitative discourse
 analysis technique, in order to evaluate key-actor perspectives and policy
 directions. Four discourses emerge, pertaining to (1) the
 institutionalisation of SE; (2) business as usual; (3) rights-centred
 engagement; and (4) decentralisation of EIA institutions. Consensus
 emerges that shows support for transparency and formalisation of SE;
 greater citizen-centred decision-making power; transparency in government
 guidelines; and the elimination of developer-led consultation processes.
 Policy options for reforming EIA policy are discussed, including a code of
 participation practice and a toolkit of suitable engagement methods.

Title: Learning, participation, and adaptation: exploring agri-environmental programmes 
Abstract:
 This paper explores the perceptions of policy makers and rural
 agricultural producers in respect of policy framing and adaptation to
 climate change, social learning and stakeholder input (participation)
 surrounding two successful agri-environmental programmes in Saskatchewan,
 Canada. Given the record of success of these two programmes in reducing
 vulnerability to climate change, this study provides an opportunity to
 explore certain attributes of adaptive management, including: what
 attributes make policy and programmes responsive; how government can frame
 programmes facilitating adaptation to climate change; what types of
 mechanisms can or should be used to engage with producers; and perhaps
 most importantly, what producers expect of government, government policies
 and programmes in relation to adaptation to climate change.

Title: Windows of opportunity: addressing climate uncertainty through adaptation plan implementation 
Abstract:
 There is a pressing need for municipalities and regions to create urban
 form suited to current as well as future climates, but adaptation planning
 uptake has been slow. This is particularly unfortunate because patterns of
 urban form interact with climate change in ways that can reduce, or
 intensify, the impact of overall global change. Uncertainty regarding the
 timing and magnitude of climate change is a significant barrier to
 implementing adaptation planning. Focusing on implementation of adaptation
 and phasing of policy reduces this barrier. It removes time as a decision
 marker, instead arguing for an initial comprehensive plan to prevent
 maladaptive policy choices, implemented incrementally after testing the
 micro-climate outcomes of previous interventions. Policies begin with
 no-regrets decisions that reduce the long-term need for more intensive
 adaptive actions and generate immediate policy benefits, while gradually
 enabling transformative infrastructure and design responses to increased
 climate impacts. Global and local indicators assume a larger role in the
 process, to evaluate when tipping points are in sight. We use case studies
 from two exemplary municipal plans to demonstrate this method's
 usefulness. While framed for urban planning, the approach is applicable to
 natural resource managers and others who must plan with uncertainty.

Title: Flexibility in water management planning as an intra-organisational issue 
Abstract:
 This paper is a case study of a team of Dutch water managers who saw that
 to achieve flexibility in planning they needed to engage with
 organisational control requirements. Rather than approaching flexibility
 normatively, as much planning literature does, this paper presents a case
 of flexibility empirically - as something actors negotiate through their
 strategising within planning practice, within their organisational
 context. The analysis shows the importance of approaching flexibility in
 planning as an intra-organisational issue, presents insights on the
 strategies actors employ in negotiating flexibility and control
 intra-organisationally, and points to the political nature of dynamics
 between flexibility and control.

Title: Land use dynamics and soil quality in agro-forest systems: a country-scale assessment in Italy 
Abstract:
 The present study compares the spatial distribution of selected rural land
 use classes in Italy with two soil indicators (a Soil Quality Index [SQI]
 and the Maximum potential Water Capacity of the soil [MWC]) at three
 points in time (1960, 1990 and 2006). Results of the analysis showed that
 landscape changes reflect a 'migration' of both semi-natural (forests,
 pastures) and agricultural (arable land, vineyards) uses towards areas
 with lower-quality soils. In particular, the agricultural 'mosaic' and
 shrubland-pasture classes that occupied land in 2006 had significant lower
 values of both the SQI and MWC compared to 1960. These processes may have
 implications for the stability of agro-forest ecosystems in the medium
 term. Due to its versatility, the procedure illustrated represents a
 monitoring tool for sustainable land management at the regional and
 country scales.

Title: Greener growing: assessing the influence of gardening practices on the ecological viability of community gardens in South East Queensland, Australia 
Abstract:
 While claims about the environmental benefits of community gardens abound,
 few researchers have systematically assessed the ecological integrity of
 gardening practices. This study investigated gardening practices in 50
 community gardens in Brisbane and Gold Coast cities, Australia. The study
 aimed to better understand how gardening practices might affect the
 ecological viability of community gardens. Factors investigated included:
 garden bio-physical characteristics, operators' motivations, gardeners'
 socio-demographic backgrounds, garden facilities and types of plants
 grown. Two broad types of gardens were identified: permaculture (21
 gardens) and non-permaculture (29 gardens). Permaculture gardens used
 lower-impact gardening practices. Findings have policy implications for
 environmental planning and management.

Title: Attitudes towards current and alternative management of the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest, Bangladesh to achieve sustainability 
Abstract:
 This paper examines the challenges of achieving sustainable management of
 the world's largest mangrove forest, the Sundarbans (SMF) in Bangladesh.
 During the past two decades, conflicts between mangrove maintenance and
 the pressure to provide economic livelihoods to forest-dependent
 communities (FDCs) have emerged and persisted. The SMF is currently
 managed by the Bangladesh Forest Department (BFD) under a state property
 rights regime. This study explores an alternative property rights regime
 which includes participatory approaches and co-management with FDCs to
 achieve sustainability, both economically and environmentally. Focus group
 discussions and a survey were the methods used to assess the prospects.
 The study finds that the absence of a management partnership between the
 BFD and FDCs is mainly responsible for the policy failures to achieve
 sustainable management of the SMF. However, evidence is presented that a
 'co-management' property rights regime cannot be established until FDC
 capacity is enhanced through the formation of community level
 institutions.

Title: The role of NIMBY in opposing the siting of wind farms: evidence from Greece 
Abstract:
 This paper aims to assess the relative importance of a NIMBY
 ('Not-In-My-Back-Yard') stance on an individual's opposition to the siting
 of a wind farm <italic>vis-�-vis</italic> other predictors, such as
 perceived effects (costs, risks and benefits associated with the project),
 perceived fairness of the siting decision and societal trust. Data
 originate from two case studies, a small wind farm of just two wind
 turbines in southern Greece and a mega-project of 153 turbines on the
 Greek island of Lesvos (aggregate N = 334). We use structural equation
 modelling (SEM) for testing the theoretically-suggested relations between
 the various constructs. We find that NIMBY is not the most important
 predictor of opposition while it is strongly correlated with other
 predictors, such as the perceived unfairness of the siting decision as
 well as the risks and costs associated with the wind farm. These latter
 findings undermine the common-sense idea that wishing a wind farm out of
 one's vicinity ('Not-In-My-Back-Yard') is an example of mere
 'free-riding'. Since the fit of the SEM models was found to be moderate,
 we discuss the limitations of our study and the implications of our
 findings as well as suggesting pathways for future research.

Title: Organisational aspects of public engagement in European energy infrastructure planning: the case of early-stage CCS projects 
Abstract:
 Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of studies on public
 perceptions of carbon capture and storage (CCS), accompanied by efforts to
 translate such knowledge into toolkits for public engagement and
 communication. At the same time, both literature and toolkits have paid
 little attention to the organisational dynamics and views of project
 implementers with regard to public engagement. Here we investigate the
 views of project development consortia employees in five European CCS
 projects, focusing on their experience of organisational norms and
 structures relating to engagement. Finding that planning for this
 engagement has, in several cases, been hampered by a lack of shared
 internal vision on engagement and communication within the project
 consortia, at least initially, we draw upon the socio-technical approach
 to technology embedment and new institutional theory, to observe that
 internal organisational alignment is crucial in multi-organisational
 projects when seeking effective public engagement and communication. We
 observe that this aspect of internal organisation is not yet reflected in
 the toolkits and guidelines designed to aid engagement in CCS projects.
 Engagement guides need to direct the attention of project implementers not
 only in specific outward directions, but also towards reflexively
 considering their own internal structures, perspectives, motivations,
 expectations and aims in relation to engagement and communication
 practice.

Title: Camel culling and carbon emissions in rangelands in central Australia 
Abstract:
 Culling feral camels will impact on the carbon emissions from them.
 Culling of feral camels stops their long-term continuous methane emission,
 but emits carbon from their carcasses in the short term. Through on-site
 monitoring of the decomposition process of camels that have been shot
 dead, this paper models the pattern of carbon emissions during the
 decomposition of these camels in Central Australia, and analyses the
 contribution of the camel culling programme to carbon emission mitigation
 on the rangelands. A 'carbon royalty' payment mechanism is also suggested
 to encourage local participation in carbon markets through an involvement
 in natural resource management.

Title: Preferences and willingness to pay for close to home nature for outdoor recreation in Sweden 
Abstract:
 In Sweden there is a strong tradition of using nature areas for outdoor
 recreation. This paper reports on a study which explored preferences and
 willingness to pay for outdoor recreation close to home (&le;100 km away
 from home and &le;24 hours stay at a recreation site) using the contingent
 valuation method. The data originated from a mail survey that involved
 Swedish residents who were randomly selected from a national register. An
 ordinary least squares regression model was used to account for factors
 influencing willingness to pay. The results showed that approximately 50%
 of the respondents used nature areas close to their home for recreation
 and their average frequency of visits to these areas was 74 times
 annually. Areas dominated by forests were the most preferred, followed by
 water. The respondents were willing to pay approximately 7200 SEK
 (US$1080) annually. Their willingness to pay was influenced by factors
 such as type of nature area, distance to and time spent at the recreation
 site and income. The results provide one input to the land use planning
 process by considering the demand for nature-based outdoor recreation
 close to home.

Title: Science-practice interactions linked to climate adaptation in two contexts: municipal planning and forestry in Sweden 
Abstract:
 This paper examines the science-practice interface in the process of
 adapting to climate change in society. This paper analyses science-based
 stakeholder dialogues with climate scientists, municipal officers and
 private individual forest owners in Sweden, and examines how local experts
 both share scientific knowledge and experience and integrate it into their
 work strategies and practices. The results demonstrate how local experts
 jointly conceptualise climate adaptation, how scientific knowledge is
 domesticated among local experts in dialogue with scientific experts, the
 emergence of anchoring devices, and the boundary-spanning functions that
 are at work in the respective sectors.

Title: Disentangling technological innovations: a micro-econometric analysis of their determinants 
Abstract:
 On the basis of a unique firm-level dataset from the German manufacturing
 sector, this paper empirically examines the determinants of environmental
 and non-environmental product and process innovations. The
 micro-econometric analysis with multivariate probit models points to an
 extremely high relevance of R&D activities for all technological
 innovation types, as well as to the relevance of a few market pull
 factors. The estimation results additionally reveal the importance of
 organisational measures for environmental product and process innovations.
 In this regard, not only certified environmental management systems, but
 also specific process- and product-related environmental organisational
 measures and even general organisational measures, such as the
 certification of a quality management system according to ISO 9001, play a
 crucial role. The estimation results therefore suggest the encouragement
 of firm-internal R&D activities and organisational measures by
 (environmental) policy in order to stimulate environmental technological
 innovations, which are able to both limit the environmental burden and
 contribute to the technological modernisation of the economy.

Title: Objective exposure to road traffic noise, noise annoyance and self-rated poor health - framing the relationship between noise and health as a matter of multiple stressors and resources in urban neighbourhoods 
Abstract:
 Borrowing from concepts of socio-environmental epidemiology and
 psychology, we conceived self-rated health as a function of multiple
 physical and psychosocial stressors and resources at the residential
 neighbourhood and individual level. In this model of multiple stressors,
 objective exposure to road traffic noise was specified as a physical
 stressor whose effect on health may be mediated and modified by residents'
 subjective response to noise (serious noise annoyance). Self-reported
 hearing disability, recreational coping in green areas and residential
 neighbourhood satisfaction were examined as additional psychosocial
 stressors or resources, independently of socio-demographic and -economic
 factors. Results from our empirical analysis based on two studies and
 multivariable logistic regressions might support the idea that
 environmental planning should overcome sectoral boundaries and adopt an
 integrative approach including objective exposures, residents' subjective
 responses, and perceived resources.

Title: Tradeable development rights to protect peri-urban areas: lessons from the United States and observations on Australian practice 
Abstract:
 As population growth continues there is greater pressure to manage cities
 and regions sustainably. These pressures are particularly acute in
 Australia's fastest growing peri-urban regions. Despite efforts to contain
 and consolidate urban growth, pressure on the peri-urban interface remains
 a key challenge. The reliance on traditional regulatory approaches to
 manage land use change in high growth peri-urban areas is proving to be
 ineffective. The use of market-based instruments (MBIs) are among the many
 options available to planners and policy makers to manage growth and
 development. Tradeable development rights (TDRs) are one type of MBI that
 have been used widely throughout the US to preserve open space and
 agricultural lands; however, their application in Australia has been
 limited. This paper uses a simple case study approach to review two
 Australian peri-urban TDR cases based on the findings of a large-scale US
 TDR study. The findings suggest that any attempt to implement TDR
 programmes in Australia should have regard for the key factors found in
 successful US TDR programmes. Planners also need to develop an intricate
 understanding of the internal and external factors that influence
 peri-urban areas.

Title: Evaluating rural development in French Regional Nature Parks 
Abstract:
 Amenities and their management have become central to rural development.
 In France, Regional Nature Parks (RNPs) pursue sustainable development
 objectives by protecting and building on local resources. This paper
 presents an evaluation of the extent to which RNPs are associated with the
 development of their territories. To establish a control group, RNP
 municipalities located in two regions (Auvergne and Rh&ocirc;ne-Alpes) are
 matched to other municipalities on the basis of amenity and spatial
 structure variables. Results do not show a negative impact of parks on the
 local economy. Moreover, the main positive effect of RNPs is on tourism
 accommodation and residential employment.

Title: Translating strong principles into effective practice: environmental assessment in Ontario, Canada 
Abstract:
 This paper examines two fundamental and inter-related tensions relating to
 environmental assessment between the desire to be proactive, promoting
 sustainable development and the more traditional practice of preventing
 harm, as well as the need to balance a predictable, expeditious and
 efficient process with transparency and inclusive deliberation. Proposed
 reforms to the environmental assessment process in Ontario, Canada, are
 examined as a case in point, showing how the recommendations in Ontario
 are consistent with international trends. In particular, over-arching
 principles need to be embedded in more precise sector-specific policies to
 enable environmental assessment processes to meet these competing goals.

Title: How knowledge is used in collaborative environmental governance: water classification in New Brunswick, Canada 
Abstract:
 Collaboration is an increasingly important approach to dealing with
 complex environmental challenges. Participation of diverse actors in
 collaborative processes necessitates attention to the use of different
 forms of knowledge. We use a multi-case study of governance for water in
 New Brunswick, Canada, to explore knowledge-related concerns that are
 prominent in collaborative processes. As is common in other contexts,
 local or lay (experiential) forms of knowledge appeared to play
 complementary but ultimately subordinate roles to expert technical and
 scientific knowledge in the cases. Importantly, we found that the
 distinction between 'expert' and 'local' knowledge was not at all clear
 for the many participants. This study reinforces the importance of
 designing reflexive and flexible processes for encouraging the active
 engagement and use of knowledge in collaboration.

Title: Assessing the bio-psychosocial correlates of flood impacts in coastal areas of Lagos, Nigeria 
Abstract:
 This paper explores the complex heterogeneous experiences of flood impacts
 based on a bio-psychosocial model of socio-economic, demographic,
 behavioural and environmental factors. Using ordinary least squares
 regression on a cross-sectional survey of 1003 individuals, flood impacts
 in three contiguous coastal neighbourhoods in Lagos, Nigeria, were
 modelled. The results show that approximately 52% of the variability in
 flood impact was accounted for by education, age, family structure,
 ethnicity, personal health concern and income. While involvement in coping
 was not a significant predictor of flood impacts, relocation emerged as a
 strong predictor. The inclusion of behavioural factors did not change the
 magnitude and significance of the relationship between demographic factors
 and flood impacts. However, the effects of age, education and personal
 health concern disappeared when environmental factors were controlled. The
 overall importance of the predictors for determining flood impact in
 decreasing order is as follows: income > coping strategies > ethnicity =
 participation in community development > family structure > personal
 health concerns > housing quality > reasons for living in residential
 locality > neighbourhood vulnerability to flood > housing vulnerability to
 flood.

Title: Leadership in sustainability planning: propagating visions through empathic communication 
Abstract:
 Despite their lack of decision-making power, planners frequently prevail
 in advancing strong sustainability agendas. A review of leadership and
 planning literature suggests that they employ collaborative practice.
 Using an ethnographic methodology that draws from the stories and actions
 of six planners with sustainability mandates, supplemented with a survey
 of their staff and colleagues, this research examines how they do it.
 Findings suggest that despite variety in their organisational contexts,
 the planners relied on strong visions and on forging and maintaining
 relationships to set and implement sustainability mandates. The planners
 deployed participative and collaborative values selectively in support of
 their mandates.

Title: Valuing welfare impacts of climate change in coastal areas: a French case study 
Abstract:
 Beach protection has become a major issue in reducing coastal risks
 (erosion and flooding). It is thus advisable to study residents'
 preferences for mitigation strategies. Willingness-to-pay (WTP) by
 permanent and secondary residents for flood protection provided to
 properties by Languedoc-Roussillon beaches (French Mediterranean coast) is
 investigated by a contingent valuation study. Results show that WTP is
 more influenced by risk perception variables than by socio-economic ones.
 The WTP is then extrapolated on the basis of different adaptation
 strategies (laissez-faire, managed retreat, denial etc.) which provided
 information about expected damage associated with sea level rise at the
 2100 time horizon.

Title: The implicit price of urban public parks and greenways: a spatial-contextual approach 
Abstract:
 This paper examines the value residents place on public parks in a
 mid-sized urban area. The analysis makes a direct contribution to the
 literature by examining the extent to which spatial and neighbourhood
 context is related to the house price premium or discount associated with
 public recreational opportunities, natural resource areas and urban
 greenways. The analysis shows that the value of public parks and greenways
 varies across space, neighbourhood context and park type. Community area
 fixed-effects are included to bolster the findings. The findings indicate
 that park and greenway investment should be planned and managed
 contextually in urban areas. Park planners can use these findings to
 inform public policy debates over park investment and, perhaps, support
 efforts focused on comprehensive neighbourhood planning.

Title: Understanding farmer intentions to connect to a modernised delivery system in an Australian irrigation district: a reasoned action approach 
Abstract:
 Australian governments have sought to invest in irrigation infrastructure
 to improve the efficiency of water delivery to rural properties and
 improve water supply and on-farm efficiency. A programme of rationalising
 irrigation infrastructure has attracted criticism and doubts about its
 likely success. Attitude theory in the form of the Reasoned Action Model
 was applied to understand the intentions of landowners to connect to a
 'modernised' irrigation system. Attitudes towards connecting to the
 system, social norms and perceptions of control over the behaviour
 provided an explanation of intentions to connect. Actual financial
 capability and other variables were important in discriminating a group of
 landowners who had already connected to the modernised system from farmers
 who had not.

Title: Emerging market patterns in the recycled paper trade 
Abstract:
 The international recovered paper trade serves two important functions:
 increasing raw material availability in the paper and board industry and
 providing economic incentives to recycle. The purpose of this paper is to
 shed further light on emerging patterns in this trade by empirically
 analysing the changes in the bilateral trade flows of recycled paper
 between 1992 and 2008. According to our estimations, two important changes
 occurred in the 1990s and 2000s. First, the growing importance of
 developing economies in global recycled paper trade plays a significant
 role in import demand as a determinant of trade flows. Second, the changes
 in global trade patterns necessitate investigating the transportation cost
 measures used in applied research.

Title: Adaptive co-management and network learning in the Room for the River programme 
Abstract:
 Adaptive co-management and learning are paramount for integrated flood
 risk management. Relevant literature focuses on adaptation at the level of
 physical and societal systems. The level of projects and programmes is
 largely overlooked, but they comprise interventions that adapt our
 physical systems and they provide opportunities for learning to contribute
 to transitions of societal systems. This paper aims to increase
 understanding on how learning takes place and can be stimulated within a
 programme. The mixed-method case study of Room for the River, a &euro;2.3
 billion programme for flood risk management, shows that a programme can be
 organised using various governance arrangements to stimulate learning and
 be a means for adaptive co-management to deliver upon environmental
 objectives.

Title: Conservation on private land: a review of global strategies with a proposed classification system 
Abstract:
 With parks and protected areas insufficient to sustain global
 biodiversity, the role of private land in biodiversity conservation is
 becoming increasingly significant. This paper reviews global voluntary and
 involuntary strategies for private land conservation. Involuntary
 strategies can achieve effective conservation outcomes, but often lack
 social acceptability. In contrast, voluntary strategies enjoy greater
 social acceptance but may not achieve sufficient uptake to have meaningful
 conservation objectives. Based on the review, we propose a classification
 system for private land conservation as a complement to the International
 Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN's) classification of global
 protected areas. The classification system provides a framework for
 identifying and describing conservation strategies on private land on the
 dimension of tenure and security. It also identifies opportunities and
 vulnerabilities in achieving conservation on private land while
 emphasising the need for systematic data collection similar to IUCN's
 efforts for protected areas.

Title: The influence of street level bureaucracy on the implementation of Strategic Environmental Assessment 
Abstract:
 A number of factors are critical to the implementation of measures
 identified through Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) processes.
 This paper addresses the challenge of implementation from a street level
 perspective and studies the role of planners and their use of discretion
 in the SEA implementation process: in which way might planners hinder or
 facilitate the implementation of SEA? Which coping mechanisms and
 discretions are deliberately or unconsciously developed and used by the
 planners? The paper reviews the literature on street level bureaucracy
 (SLB) in order to identify both factors influencing the implementation
 behaviour of street level bureaucrats and their coping mechanism when
 confronted with these factors. Based upon the SLB theory, a case study
 explores the SLB behaviour involved in the implementation of the SEA of
 the Copenhagen spatial plan. The analysis shows a surprisingly high level
 of implementation of measures put forward in the SEA report, and
 underlines the role of planners at the front line of implementation,
 functioning as 'innovators' during the SEA process and the following
 implementation of measures. The paper documents the importance of
 examining planners' role in SEA and their potential as levers for SEA
 implementation.

Title: Water management decision makers' evaluations of uncertainty in a decision support system: the case of WaterSim in the Decision Theater 
Abstract:
 Model-based decision support systems are increasingly used to link
 knowledge to action for environmental decision making. How stakeholders
 perceive uncertainty in models and visualisations affects their
 perceptions of credibility, relevance and usability of these tools. This
 paper presents a case study of water decision makers' evaluations of
 WaterSim, a dynamic water simulation model presented in an immersive
 decision theatre environment. Results reveal that decision makers'
 understandings of uncertainty in their evaluations of decision support
 systems reflect both scientific and political discourse. We conclude with
 recommendations for design and evaluation of decision support systems that
 incorporate decision makers' views.

Title: Perceived landscape values and public participation in a road-planning process - a case study in Sweden 
Abstract:
 The European Landscape Convention indicates that assessment of different
 dimensions that exist in landscapes should be taken into account in
 planning. In this study, we first investigated ecological, cultural and
 social values as perceived by the local people in a highway-planning
 process in Sweden. Next, we explored which factors influenced the local
 people's participation in the road-planning process. We used
 questionnaires, planning documents and the Theory of Planned Behavior to
 investigate the relations between different factors and local people's
 participation in the planning process. The results showed that people
 presumed the ecological values in the landscape to be adversely affected
 by the new road, while the social values would remain the same. Landowners
 had heard of the participatory-process, but few participated. Those who
 lived within 300&nbsp;m of the road were more active in the planning
 process than people living further away. The findings suggest that people
 living within a few hundred metres of the road should be treated as key
 stakeholders in the planning process. The involvement of other
 stakeholders, and when in the public participation process stakeholders
 should be involved, is also discussed.

Title: Climate change collaboration among natural resource management agencies: lessons learned from two US regions 
Abstract:
 It has been argued that regional collaboration can facilitate adaptation
 to climate change impacts through integrated planning and management. In
 an attempt to understand the underlying institutional factors that either
 support or contest this assumption, this paper explores the institutional
 factors influencing adaptation to climate change at the regional scale,
 where multiple public land and natural resource management jurisdictions
 are involved. Insights from two mid-western US case studies reveal that
 several challenges to collaboration persist and prevent fully integrative
 multi-jurisdictional adaptation planning at a regional scale. We propose
 that some of these challenges, such as lack of adequate time, funding and
 communication channels, be reframed as opportunities to build
 interdependence, identify issue-linkages and collaboratively explore the
 nature and extent of organisational trade-offs with respect to regional
 climate change adaptation efforts. Such a reframing can better facilitate
 multi-jurisdictional adaptation planning and management of shared
 biophysical resources generally while simultaneously enhancing
 organisational capacity to mitigate negative effects and take advantage of
 potentially favourable future conditions in an era characterised by rapid
 climate change.

Title: Uncertainty in optimal pollution levels: modelling and evaluating the benefit area 
Abstract:
 This paper identifies the optimal pollution level under the assumptions of
 linear, quadratic and exponential damage and abatement cost functions and
 investigates analytically the certain restrictions that the existence of
 this optimal level requires. The evaluation of the benefit area is
 discussed and the mathematical formulation provides the appropriate
 methods for that to be calculated. The positive, at least from a
 theoretical point of view, is that both the quadratic and the exponential
 case obey the same form for evaluating the benefit area. These benefit
 area estimations can be used as indexes between different rival policies,
 and depending on the environmental problem, the policy that produces the
 maximum area will be the beneficial policy.

Title: Bridging the financial gap in climate adaptation: Dutch planning and land development through a new institutional lens 
Abstract:
 Based on a case study of the Stadshaven port redevelopment in Rotterdam,
 this paper explores whether existing spatial planning mechanisms and
 processes can be used to facilitate local-level investment in
 climate-resilient public infrastructure and/or whether new processes and
 mechanisms are required to encourage investment in climate adaptation. The
 study reveals several key findings. First, a lack of conventional funding
 sources or formalised regulatory framework allowed room for
 experimentation with existing mechanisms and flexible strategies. Second,
 project planners are currently ambivalent towards introducing new
 mechanisms as a means to overcome implementation challenges. The case
 provides evidence about the role of the governance process, not simply as
 a means of system coordination that exists in isolation from institutional
 norms and values, but rather as a space for innovation, which can
 contribute towards reducing the financial gap associated with climate
 adaptation.

Title: Decision support tools for collaborative marine spatial planning: identifying potential sites for tidal energy devices around the Mull of Kintyre, Scotland 
Abstract:
 The expansion of offshore renewable energy production, such as wind, wave
 and tidal energy, is likely to lead to conflict between different users of
 the sea. Two types of spatial decision support tools were developed to
 support stakeholder workshops. A value mapping tool combines regional
 attributes with local knowledge. A negotiation support tool uses these
 value maps to support stakeholders in finding acceptable locations for
 tidal energy devices. Interactive value mapping proved useful to address
 deficiencies in data and to create credibility for these maps. The
 negotiation tool helped stakeholders in balancing objectives of the
 various stakeholders.

Title: Framing an independent, integrated and evidence-based evaluation of the state of Australia's biophysical and human environments 
Abstract:
 A new approach was developed for Australia's 2011 national State of the
 Environment (SoE) report to integrate the assessment of biophysical and
 human elements of the environment. A Common Assessment and Reporting
 Framework (CARF) guided design and implementation, responding to
 jurisdictional complexity, outstanding natural diversity and ecosystem
 values, high levels of cultural and heritage diversity, and a paucity of
 national-scale data. The CARF provided a transparent response to the need
 for an independent, robust and evidence-based national SoE report. We
 conclude that this framework will be effective for subsequent national SoE
 assessments and other integrated national-scale assessments in data-poor
 regions.

Title: Towards networked governance: improving interagency communication and collaboration for disaster risk management and climate change adaptation in Australia 
Abstract:
 Major disasters, such as bushfires or floods, place significant stress on
 scarce public resources. Climate change is likely to exacerbate this
 stress. An integrated approach to disaster risk management (DRM) and
 climate change adaptation (CCA) could reduce the stress by encouraging the
 more efficient use of pooled resources and expertise. A comparative
 analysis of three extreme climate-related events that occurred in
 Australia between 2009 and 2011 indicated that a strategy to improve
 interagency communication and collaboration would be a key factor in this
 type of policy/planning integration. These findings are in accord with the
 concepts of Joined-up Government and Network Governance. Five key reforms
 are proposed: developing a shared policy vision; adopting multi-level
 planning; integrating legislation; networking organisations; and
 establishing cooperative funding. These reforms are examined with
 reference to the related research literature in order to identify
 potential problems associated with their implementation. The findings are
 relevant for public policy generally but are particularly useful for CCA
 and DRM.

Title: Managers as drivers of CSR in state-owned enterprises 
Abstract:
 Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasingly required not only of
 private sector companies, but also of state-owned enterprises (SOEs),
 whose main function is to provide services to society and not principally
 to obtain financial reward. The important role played by managers in
 implementing CSR has been demonstrated by prior research. The objective of
 this paper is to examine how managers of SOEs perceive the concept of CSR,
 the reasons for their involvement and how it is integrated into everyday
 business practices. In addition, we examine whether managers' attitudes
 towards CSR policies are influenced by their personal profiles and by the
 sector in which the SOEs work. We find that, although these managers are
 aware of the importance of the CSR principles underlying their activities
 and understand the meaning, scope and dimensions of CSR, there remains an
 evident need to enhance the application of CSR policies among the
 strategies of SOEs. The manager profile and the sector in which the SOEs
 work both have a strong influence on their behaviour regarding CSR issues.

Title: Measuring participation by socially vulnerable groups in hazard mitigation planning, Bertie County, North Carolina 
Abstract:
 In accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act, most US counties have a
 hazard mitigation plan (HMP) to reduce future disaster losses. HMPs are
 important as they can be used to proactively assess risk, direct future
 development, raise awareness and build consensus. Using a population-based
 sample, we interviewed residents of Bertie County, NC, about their
 awareness of and participation in the HMP process to determine if
 demographics, social vulnerability or hazard vulnerability were associated
 with increased awareness or participation. We also assessed whether these
 factors were associated with knowledge of policy changes and investments
 that were adopted in the HMP. Overall, the unemployed were the only group
 less likely to report awareness of or participation in HMP development.
 African-Americans, mobile home residents, the poor, short-term residents
 and those with less disaster experience were less likely to be aware of
 policies and investments prioritised in the HMP. Targeted efforts to
 increase awareness could potentially improve disaster outcomes among
 vulnerable populations.

Title: Public perceptions of planning objectives for regional level management of wild reindeer in Norway 
Abstract:
 We examined community perceptions of preferred objectives for wild
 reindeer management in Southern Norway as the former population-based
 model is being replaced with an area-based, multi-level regional
 management model spanning large mountain regions. Communally oriented
 objectives are favoured over economic benefits to landowners.
 Environmental attitudes discriminate on many of the issues and can be
 useful factors in sorting out levels of support for proposed management
 actions and compromises in land use decisions. The regional reindeer plans
 create a new political context for land use management across large
 mountain areas which will require better cooperation among municipalities.

Title: Factors predicting proclivity and intensity to volunteer for the environment in the US and South Korea 
Abstract:
 This research compares environmental volunteering among students in South
 Korea and the US (<italic>n</italic> = 3612). Given differing
 environmental histories of these countries, we explore whether and to what
 extent volunteer proclivity and intensity varies, and potential factors
 that explain existing variation. Findings suggest that American students
 are more likely to volunteer for, and devote time to, environmental
 causes, while South Korean students differ on socio-economic correlates of
 such behaviour. In a global society, understanding determinants of
 environmental volunteer participation is critical to the management of
 environmental NGOs that are involved in broad-based and participatory
 planning, educating stakeholders and legitimising environmental advocacy.

Title: Structuring decisions about energy in developing communities: an example from Canada's north 
Abstract:
 Decisions about energy in developing communities are challenging from a
 technical standpoint, and because of the unique characteristics that
 typify them, e.g. limited infrastructure and government budgets, complex
 social and political arrangements, and economic vulnerability. Against the
 backdrop of these challenges, the government of Canada's Northwest
 Territories (NWT) is attempting to reform the region's energy system. This
 paper provides insights from the decision sciences, stemming from our work
 on the NWT's energy planning process, about how to structure decisions
 about energy development and delivery so as to effectively meet a range of
 stakeholders' objectives in a transparent and inclusive manner.

Title: A methodological framework and tool for assessing the climate change related risks in the banking sector 
Abstract:
 Although climate change risks have been studied for a number of economic
 sectors, banking has received relatively little attention. The paper
 proposes a methodology and an associated decision-support tool for
 quantifying, in monetary terms, the risks for banks from the exposure of
 their loan recipients and/or applicants to climate change. The framework
 and tool are applied to a case study based on input from a Greek bank;
 results indicate that climate change risks for banks are considerable, and
 thus decision makers need to estimate their magnitude and possibly
 consider these within the credit management process, and in environmental
 planning.

Title: Land take and food security: assessment of land take on the agricultural production in Europe 
Abstract:
 Soil is a multifunctional, non-renewable natural resource for Europe as
 clearly expressed in the European Union (EU) Thematic Strategy for Soil
 Protection (COM (2006)231). Soil carries out multiple functions, including
 the support of food production. Urban development and its associated land
 take poses a major threat to soil and could have significant effects on
 agricultural production. This paper aims to evaluate the potential
 productivity losses in European agriculture due to land-take processes
 between 1990 and 2006. Agricultural land take was calculated using CORINE
 Land Cover maps of 1990, 2000 and 2006. For 21 of the 27 EU member states,
 agricultural land take was computed to be 752,973 ha for 1990-2000 and
 436,095 ha for 2000-2006, representing 70.8% and 53.5%, respectively, of
 the total EU land take for these periods. The impact of this land take on
 the production capabilities of the agricultural sector for the period
 1990-2006 for 19 of the 21 states was estimated to be equivalent to a loss
 of more than six million tonnes of wheat. The paper demonstrates that
 Europe's intense urbanisation has a direct impact on its capability to
 produce food.

Title: Multi-level water governance - the case of the Morsa River Basin in Norway 
Abstract:
 Management of fresh water resources meets a range of often conflicting
 interests. Waterways usually run across political and administrative
 borders and hence make management difficult and collective action
 politically challenging. In order to meet these challenges, multi-level
 bioregional approaches to water management have been called for. Such an
 approach is institutionalised in the EU's Water Framework Directive (WFD).
 This paper presents the experiences of the Morsa water sub-district in
 southern Norway, a pilot for implementing the WFD. The paper discusses
 Morsa in the light of four principles for multi-level water governance:
 management on a bioregional scale; polycentric governance; public
 participation; and an experimental approach to water governance. Contrary
 to widely held assumptions that collective action in polycentric networks
 will be difficult because actors will follow their own narrow interests,
 the findings demonstrate how this is not an absolute truth, and how social
 action cannot be fully explained by rational action theories. The analysis
 concludes that the relative success of Morsa relates to a complex of
 factors, including openness of practices and active involvement of key
 actors, strong but including leadership, and a knowledge based 'hybrid'
 type of multi-level network combining horizontal and vertical network
 governance.

Title: Can area managers connect policy and tenants? Implementation and diffusion of a new waste management system in Link�ping, Sweden 
Abstract:
 Recycling and reducing household waste are political goals
 internationally, nationally and locally. In Sweden, households in
 apartment buildings seem to sort their waste to a lesser extent than
 households in single-family houses. This paper analyses the challenges of
 the diffusion of a new waste management system in apartment buildings, and
 focuses on a municipal housing company and the actions of its area
 managers. It is argued that area managers can be regarded as street-level
 bureaucrats who act as 'collectors' of tenants' everyday practices in the
 studied implementation process. The study is based on interviews, document
 analysis and observations.

Title: Coherence between marine and land use planning: public attitudes to landscapes in the context of siting a wind park along the Latvian coast of the Baltic Sea 
Abstract:
 The aim of this paper is to contribute to coherence in marine, coastal and
 land use planning and management from the perspective of landscape values.
 At a time when new sea uses are emerging and marine spatial planning laws
 and regulations are being adopted, but have not yet been put into
 practice, research studies are required that provide spatial planners with
 informed insights concerning public stakeholder attitudes to controversial
 policies. The undertaken research explored the attitudes of two important
 social groups (local residents and tourists/recreational users) regarding
 locating wind parks in the marine and/or terrestrial environment along the
 Latvian coast of the Baltic Sea. The results of the study indicate that
 both groups support land-based wind park development versus offshore.
 Moreover, the visibility of wind turbines influences the willingness of
 tourists to visit recreation sites and impacts directly on their duration
 of stay. Research findings indicate that policy makers and spatial
 planners from both marine and land domains should adopt a broader and more
 integrated approach when setting priorities and allocating space for
 development activities where both domains are involved.

Title: Developing an eco-industrial park in Puducherry region, India - a SWOT analysis 
Abstract:
 Over the past few years, the eco-industrial park (EIP) concept has been
 emerging as a significant driving force for sustainable industrialisation.
 Accumulating evidence indicates that the transition of existing industries
 into eco-industrial networking through industrial ecology (IE) principles
 would provide an excellent opportunity for facilitating such innovative
 industrialisation. A SWOT analysis was carried out to identify the
 potential and constraints for the successful implementation of an
 eco-industrial park in the ecologically fragile coastal zone of
 Puducherry. The results indicated significant potential for EIP
 development with few challenges. The lessons learnt can be used to provide
 broad guidelines for facilitating EIP development in the Puducherry region
 and similar scenarios found elsewhere across the world, especially in
 developing countries.

Title: How democratic innovations realise democratic goods. Two case studies of area committees in the Netherlands 
Abstract:
 Participatory planning is becoming increasingly integral to governance.
 Numerous planning innovations are developed which aim to increase
 democratic legitimacy and improve decision making. This paper critically
 reflects on a typical Dutch innovation: the area committee. Based on two
 individual case studies, we investigate whether area committees realise
 democratic legitimacy in existing planning practices. Analytically, we
 focus on four democratic goods: inclusiveness, popular control, considered
 judgement and transparency. Based on the interdependencies between area
 committees and government structures we discuss the potential and dilemmas
 for the area committee to contribute to the democratic legitimacy of
 environmental policy and rural development.

Title: The concept of the Portuguese National Ecological Reserve: constraints and impossibilities in the Azores Archipelago 
Abstract:
 The biophysical features of small islands (SI) distinguish them from other
 territories; isolation, small size and several anthropogenic pressures
 reduce the resilience of ecosystems and increase their vulnerability to
 global changes. Many SI have a shortage of infrastructures, institutions
 and technical/financial resources that hinder planning and require
 different integrated solutions. In Portugal, the National Ecological
 Reserve (NER) is legally binding for spatial planning instruments. It aims
 to defend natural values and areas of ecological value, or sensibility, or
 susceptible to natural hazards. However, the criteria for the design of
 NER are strictly set for mainland territory, not taking into account
 specific features of small islands. A case study of the Azores Archipelago
 is used to demonstrate that spatial planning instruments should be adapted
 to island contexts. Such adaptation will increase the effectiveness of
 their implementation in relation to the protection of natural resources,
 stability of biophysical structures and prevention of natural hazards.
 Observing the main differences between mainland and the Azores Archipelago
 it is possible to define a methodological transposition of the NER aims
 and goals into an island context. This approach is an answer to the
 constraints in effective adaptation of spatial planning instruments for
 islands.

Title: Regulatory failures, split-incentives, conflicting interests and a vicious circle of blame: the New Environmental Governance to the rescue? 
Abstract:
 This paper addresses a current trend of New Environmental Governance
 (NEG). It examines whether NEG is able to overcome a series of complex
 regulatory barriers and market shortfalls that stand in the way of carbon
 emissions reductions in the building sector. Building on an evaluation of
 20 NEG arrangements from Australia and the Netherlands, it discusses the
 limits of the effective implementation and use of NEG in this sector. The
 paper concludes by suggesting three strategies to improve the performance
 of NEG arrangements in the building sector.

Title: Compromising sustainable mobility? The case of the Gothenburg congestion tax 
Abstract:
 Congestion charging is widely considered an effective policy measure to
 regulate and reduce car traffic demand and associated environmental and
 health problems in cities. However, introducing restrictive measures to
 constrain individual choice and behaviour for the common good has often
 proven difficult. Using a specific case, the Gothenburg congestion tax
 introduced in 2013, we study the policy process behind the introduction of
 the tax and assess to what extent green values were compromised along the
 way. The tax was made possible by co-financing infrastructure investments,
 including roads, which seemingly contradicts stated goals of reducing car
 traffic and emissions. We show how the tax was 'muddled through' in a
 top-down political compromise by a grand coalition where different
 interests could legitimate their support in relation to the achievement of
 partially conflicting objectives and projects. However, to declare the
 regulatory goals fully neutralised would be to underestimate the scheme's
 direct environmental effects and restrictive potential. Finding a
 compromise with powerful political and economic interests was necessary to
 get it off the ground. Once launched, however, it can over time regain its
 restrictive properties and lead to more profound long-term effects.

Title: A critical and empirical analysis of the national-local 'gap' in public responses to large-scale energy infrastructures 
Abstract:
 A national-local 'gap' is often used as the starting point for analyses of
 public responses to large scale energy infrastructures. We critique three
 assumptions found in that literature: the public's positive attitudes,
 without further examining other type of perceptions at a national level;
 that local perceptions are best examined through a siting rather than
 place-based approach; that a gap exists between national and local
 responses, despite a non-correspondence in how these are examined. Survey
 research conducted at national and local levels about electricity
 transmission lines in the UK confirm these criticisms. Results do not
 support a gap between national and local levels; instead, both differences
 and similarities were found. Results show the value of adopting a
 place-based approach and the role of surveys to inform policy making are
 discussed.

Title: Trends in management plans and guides: 25&nbsp;years of experience from Southern France 
Abstract:
 This study analysed 14 management plans and guidelines from a 25-year
 period to understand trends in conservation planning. A Rosetta Stone
 Analysis was used for the systematic comparison of plans and guidelines.
 Management plans incorporated management philosophies, management
 scenarios, opportunities for infrastructure, and plans for data collection
 by 2000. As of 2010, they incorporated ecosystem services, stakeholders'
 objectives and methods for storing and analysing data. The results
 demonstrate the complex nature of management plans, with an important
 workload for site managers. Recommendations for future planning include
 adjustments in planning timeframes and a better identification of
 conservation targets from initial stages.

Title: Simulation of urban expansion patterns by integrating auto-logistic regression, Markov chain and cellular automata models 
Abstract:
 This research analyses urban expansion patterns and their eco-risks in the
 Poyang Lake region in China. A hybrid model consisting of auto-logistic
 regression, Markov chain and cellular automata (CA) is designed to improve
 the performance of the standard logistic regression model. An eco-risk
 assessment (ERA) index by integrating landscape fragmentation index and
 area weighted eco-service value index is established to promote the
 effectiveness for dynamically evaluating the environment and eco-security
 in watersheds. Scenario predictions are introduced to better understand
 the relationship between urban dynamics and their eco-risks. Three urban
 development scenarios such as historical development trend (HDT),
 environment protection priority (EPP) and goal-oriented restriction (GOR)
 are designed and transplanted into the CA model through the parameter
 self-modification method. The quantitative analysis results showed that in
 the period of the past five years, the urban growth primarily concentrated
 in the metropolitans. The simulations show that under the HDT scenario the
 urban growth will mainly emerge in the metropolitans, while under the EPP
 and GOR scenarios the urban growth will expand along with the
 metropolitans or the road networks and highways, respectively. Moreover,
 the ERA demonstrated that the GOR scenario was more effective in meeting
 the goal of environment protection and urban sustainable development for
 the study area.

Title: Explaining implementation deficits through multi-level governance in the EU's new member states: EU limits for arsenic in drinking water in Hungary 
Abstract:
 This paper uses a multi-level governance lens to explore a case of
 non-compliance with EU legislation in Hungary and expands historical
 institutionalist explanations of EU laggards. Despite adopting the
 European Union's (EU's) limit of 10 ppb arsenic in drinking water, parts
 of Hungary do not comply. To explain this deficit, the paper examines the
 match between discourse incorporated into policy and held by policy actors
 in Hungary. Multiple points of mismatch are found that influence
 implementation because of governance structures, adding specificity to
 explanations of 'goodness of fit' between EU and national policy.

Title: Rider preferences and economic values for equestrian trails 
Abstract:
 Recreational horseback riding is an important, but less studied, component
 of human interaction with the natural environment and often occurs
 alongside other outdoor recreational activities. Using choice experiment
 data collected from a survey conducted in Kentucky, this study assesses
 rider preferences and economic values associated with various equestrian
 trail attributes for daylong horseback riding trips in rural trail
 systems. Results indicate that while individuals have different opinions,
 trail attributes such as length of trail, scenic views, and travel
 distance from home all have significant economic implications. In
 addition, riders prefer trails that are restricted for horse riding only.
 Willingness to pay estimates of all attributes increase substantially when
 the travel cost to reach the trail is also considered. Policy implications
 on maintaining current and creating new trails in a multi-user setting are
 given, such as the opportunities for separating horseback riders from
 other users while still providing other beneficial attributes like options
 for longer trails and scenic views to all groups.

Title: Estuary planning and management: the case of Vouga Estuary (Ria de Aveiro), Portugal 
Abstract:
 Estuarine areas often concentrate complex and conflicting sets of natural,
 economic and social resources and activities with multiple challenges to
 planning and management approaches as well as to governance practices.
 Using a set of integration factors depicted from the literature review,
 the paper analyzes the main features of the new set of the Portuguese
 estuary types of plans and assesses their potential added value, while
 focusing the analysis on the estuary of the Vouga River (Ria de Aveiro).
 The results are twofold. On the one side, their uniqueness, by treating
 the estuary as a planning unit, integrating the water resources and the
 land use planning systems and by establishing mandatory rules for the
 estuary uses, embodies relevant potential for reducing boundary tensions
 and to improve integrative approaches. On the other side, while at the
 level of plan content the contribution of the Portuguese Estuary Land Use
 and Management Plans (<italic>Planos de Ordenamento de Estu�rio</italic>)
 legislation brings strong new prospects for integration, at the level of
 planning process and implementation, further efforts should be undertaken.
 Their added value, especially in complex institutional and societal
 estuarine contexts, such as the Ria de Aveiro, strongly depends on more
 robust participation schemes through which knowledge, institutions, aims
 and measures are articulated in a collective vision and shared governance
 process.

Title: Public engagement and climate adaptation: insights from three local governments in Australia 
Abstract:
 Public participation in decision making is a central component of the
 planning process; however, implementing effective engagement initiatives
 to resolve complex planning and policy problems, such as climate change,
 is challenging for planners. These challenges are particularly acute in
 coastal communities throughout Australia, where many settlements are at
 risk of future climate perturbations. Using the International Association
 for Public Participation framework for public participation, we analyse
 three local government led public participation initiatives in New South
 Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, Australia. Our analysis suggests there are
 three critical factors that can influence the level of public
 participation in the context of climate change adaptation: the
 technocratic approach to decision making; absent high order government
 support; and the lack of evaluation mechanisms for public participation.

Title: AHP based life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) framework: a case study of six storey wood frame and concrete frame buildings in Vancouver 
Abstract:
 Construction and building industry is in dire need for developing
 sustainability assessment frameworks that can evaluate and integrate
 related environmental and socioeconomic impacts. This paper discusses an
 analytic hierarchy process (AHP) based sustainability evaluation framework
 for mid-rise residential buildings based on a broad range of environmental
 and socioeconomic criteria. A <italic>cradle to grave</italic> life cycle
 assessment technique was applied to identify, classify, and assess triple
 bottom line (TBL) sustainability performance indicators of buildings.
 Then, the AHP was applied to aggregate the impacts into a unified
 sustainability index. The framework is demonstrated through a case study
 to investigate two six storey structural systems (i.e. concrete and wood)
 in Vancouver, Canada. The results of this paper show that the
 environmental performance of a building in Canada, even in regions with
 milder weather such as Vancouver, is highly dependent on service life
 energy, rather than structural materials.

Title: Realization of participation and spatiality in participatory forest management - a policy-practice analysis from Zanzibar, Tanzania 
Abstract:
 The efforts in sustainable natural resource management have given rise to
 decentralization of forest governance in the developing world with hopes
 for better solutions and effective implementation. In this paper, we
 examine how spatially sensitive participation is realized from policy to
 practice in the process of establishing participatory forest management in
 Zanzibar, Tanzania. Our policy-practice analysis shows that the policies
 in Zanzibar strongly support decentralization and local level
 participation has in practice been realized. However, the policy does not
 emphasize participatory process design nor address the possibilities of
 using spatial information and technologies to ensure wider participation.
 Thus, the practices fall short in innovativeness of using site-sensitive
 information with available technologies. Reflecting the Zanzibari
 Community Forest Management Agreements (CoFMA) context with examples of
 participatory use of spatial information and technologies in other parts
 of the world, we discuss ways to improve the Zanzibari CoFMA process
 towards increased participation, communication, local sense of ownership
 and more sustainable land management decisions, and argue for the future
 implementation of CoFMA as a spatially sensitive participatory process.

Title: Toward an improved ecosystem based management approach: incorporating catchment characteristics into better management and planning of the Great Barrier Reef marine ecosystem 
Abstract:
 Discharge from the Great Barrier Reef Catchment (GBRC) is considered the
 second most serious threat to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Utilising
 principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA), this
 research aimed to assess the variability and co-variation of 28 water
 basins (WBs) within the GBRC, in order to improve the institutional
 arrangements and regulation of water quality and increase collaboration
 horizontally between management organisations, and vertically between
 government tiers. Water basin variability was measured by nine variables:
 size (ha), population, agricultural land use (ha), number of major water
 storages, major rivers and major towns, total nitrogen exported (T/yr),
 total phosphorus exported (T/yr) and herbicide use (ha). The Fitzroy WB,
 with PC scores of 7.0081, 2.2897 and  - 1.6504, was identified as the most
 dissimilar and therefore needing to be managed differently. Many WBs
 within the same regions were very dissimilar to each other, indicating
 that current management practices, based largely on geographic location,
 are unlikely to be the most efficient and effective. Instead, managing
 groups of WBs with similar geo-political properties (determined by the CA)
 could be more effective and efficient. Coordination and collaboration are
 key to successful ecosystem based management, therefore managing similar
 WBs together through inter-NRM (natural resource management) agreements,
 irrespective of their geographical location, facilitates management bodies
 building strong, cooperative working relationships.

Title: Transdisciplinary research: understanding the stakeholder perspective 
Abstract:
 It is accepted that the effective uptake of academic research into policy
 and practice requires the active involvement of stakeholders. However,
 understanding participation from the perspectives of stakeholders remains
 poorly understood. We show that non-academic participants bring multiple
 knowledges and expertises vital to research. We demonstrate that
 flexibility in terms of how research is framed, conducted and in the
 meaning of what constitutes "success" is crucial. We argue that research
 needs to move towards co-produced transdisciplinary research. In doing so,
 research can be more representative of stakeholder interests and
 knowledges, and also make important contributions to academic impact.

Title: Predictive model for areas with illegal landfills using logistic regression 
Abstract:
 The existence of illegal landfills is an environmental problem in most
 countries. However, research on this issue is scarce and limited by the
 availability and quality of data on the subject. Thus, most illegal
 landfill studies have only been conducted in a partial manner, focusing on
 geographical aspects or the causes of these landfills (lack of
 environmental awareness, inadequate waste management systems, and the role
 of local government). This research analyses a sample of 120 possible
 areas with illegal landfills in Andalusia using logistic regression in
 order to obtain a predictive model for the occurrence of these landfills,
 including both types of variables (geographical and behavioural) jointly.
 The results confirm that the variables that most influence the occurrence
 of illegal landfills are spatial ("Industrial Land", "Plains" and "Rural
 Land"); whilst the variables that most reduce the likelihood of illegal
 landfills are those related to certain characteristics of the municipal
 waste management system and environmental awareness, such as "Availability
 of Recycling Facilities", "Punitive Policies", "Supervision" and
 "Awareness-raising Campaigns". The model obtained shows that variables of
 very different nature and magnitude interact in the occurrence of illegal
 landfills, each of which contributes a series of features characteristic
 of its scale. It is advisable, therefore, to perform an analysis using a
 multi-scale approach in order to gain an overall understanding of the
 phenomenon.

Title: Valuing the local impacts of a large scale wind power establishment in northern Sweden: public and private preferences toward economic, environmental and sociocultural values 
Abstract:
 This paper estimates public and private preferences towards economic,
 environmental and sociocultural values associated with a planned
 large-scale onshore wind-power development in northern Sweden, and
 analyses the most important determinants of the individual's Willingness
 to Pay (WTP) for reducing the negative impact associated with the
 establishment. Sociocultural effects were deemed the most important in the
 private sample, whereas new job opportunities are valued most highly in
 the public sample. We further find that ascription to moral and social
 norms together with individuals&#x2019; perceptions related to general and
 institutional trust constitutes significant determinants of WTP.

Title: Effects of observability and complexity on farmers&#x2019; adoption of environmental practices 
Abstract:
 The ability of both regulators and farmers themselves to monitor the
 impact of environmental practices may be an issue with nonpoint source
 pollution. Effects that can be perceived via direct sensory evidence
 provide information at low cost. Results from a survey of livestock
 farmers suggest that a practice that has more obvious effects on water
 quality, manure application setbacks, is more likely to be adopted than a
 more complicated one with less visible effects, manure testing.
 Farmers&#x2019; perceptions of the profitability of the two practices were
 similar. The importance of observability and complexity has implications
 for educational programs.

Title: Management challenges of urban biosolids: narratives around facility siting in rural Ontario 
Abstract:
 The emerging challenge of managing increasing volumes of urban sewage has
 resulted in municipalities pursuing sustainable ways to manage urban
 biosolids and their by-products. Using content analysis of public debates,
 and situating the debate within science, policy and facility siting
 literature, this study examines claims and counterclaims relating to the
 siting of a biosolid processing facility in rural Ontario. The equivocal
 evidence on the health and environmental effects of biosolids resulted in
 a heated &#x201c;expert versus lay&#x201d; debate. The study critically
 evaluates the importance of trust and the shifting role of scientific
 evidence in politicised settings, while making relevant policy
 recommendations.

Title: Forest planning across Europe: the spatial scale, tools, andinter-sectoral integration in land-use planning 
Abstract:
 New approaches to forest planning are needed to support the transition of
 European forests to sustainable management. The aim of this study is to
 review forest planning systems already in place throughout Europe by
 exploring a set of case-study countries reflecting the main silvicultural
 schools of Western Europe, including Belgium, Finland, France, Italy,
 Portugal, and Slovenia.A literature review and case-study data were used
 to assess the scale factors (vertical logic) as well as the relationships
 between forest planning and other environmental/land-use planning sectors
 (horizontal logic). The influence of EU policy on the development of
 forest planning is also discussed. As assessed using the vertical logic,
 the multi-scale and multi-topic planning approaches adopted in the
 countries studied here are highly heterogeneous. The horizontal logic
 shows that despite the importance of an inter-sectoral and harmonic
 relational framework between forest planning and the planning efforts of
 other sectors such as landscape and urban planning, the various plans are
 barely consistent with each other across the European countries studied
 here. Although interest is growing in the multi-functionality of forests,
 their sustainable management calls for the development of better
 integrated planning approaches across Europe.

Title: A study of forest values and management attitudes in the general public in Germany and Sweden: does context matter? 
Abstract:
 Based on the reasoning that contextual variations are important for
 understanding differences in forest cognitions, this study examined forest
 values and management attitudes in the general public in Germany
 (<italic>n</italic> = 1135) and Sweden (<italic>n</italic> = 1311) by
 means of a questionnaire. Results indicated that the public in both
 countries emphasised similar forest values, and the overall pattern was
 comparable for different types of forest, although certain differences
 based on forest type and country were evident. For example, the German
 public was more ecologically oriented, whereas the Swedish public was more
 production oriented in its forest values and management attitudes.
 Furthermore, ecological and various anthropocentric forest values were
 perceived to be quite compatible, with the Swedish respondents perceiving
 this to a greater extent than the German. The overall cognitive structure
 of forest values and management attitudes was similar in both countries,
 although differences were revealed, particularly regarding attitudes.

Title: Policy design, spatial planning and climate change adaptation: a case study from Australia 
Abstract:
 There are gaps in the existing climate change adaptation literature
 concerning the design of spatial planning instruments and the relationship
 between policy instruments and the sociopolitical barriers to adaptation
 reform. To help address this gap, this article presents a typology of
 spatial planning instruments for adaptation and analyses the pattern of
 instrument choice in Australian planning processes in order to shed light
 on contextual factors that can impede adaptation. The analysis highlights
 how policy design can amplify the barriers to adaptation by arranging
 policy actors in ways inimical to reform and stripping decision makers of
 the instruments necessary to make and sustain desired policy changes.

Title: Mapping forest ecosystem functions for landscape planning in a mountain Natura2000 site, Central Italy<xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn0001"/> 
Abstract:
 In last decades, numerous efforts have been carried out by the scientific
 community to assess the multifunctional role of forests in supporting the
 forest decision-making processes. Recently developed in Italy, the Forest
 Landscape Management Planning seems to be the most suitable tool to
 maintain the sustainability balance between forests and local populations.
 This research identifies and maps different forest ecosystem functions in
 a mountain Natura2000 Network site by performing a spatial estimation of
 forest inventory parameters, and implementing a multi-criteria and
 multi-level approach. Final results on mapping of forest functions show
 acceptable values of classification accuracy.

Title: A new recoding method for treating protest responses in contingent valuation studies using travel cost data 
Abstract:
 In this paper, it is proposed one method to recode protest responses
 applicable to the simple dichotomous format valuation question made to
 visitors to natural environment in contingent valuation studies. Those
 respondents that give a protest response but have a travel cost greater
 than the bid proposed in the valuation question are recoded as an
 affirmative answer to the proposed payment. The economic justification
 lies in the minimum willingness to pay for enjoying the environment that
 travel cost reveals, while valuation question tries to obtain information
 about respondent maximum willingness to pay. Recoding allows to recover
 information and to improve estimates, accuracy. It also avoids
 computational complexity associated with sample selection models used to
 avoid biases derived from excluding protest responses.

Title: Scale and self-governance in agri-environment schemes: experiences with two alternative approaches in the Netherlands 
Abstract:
 Agri-environment schemes in the Netherlands have been criticized for their
 lack of effectiveness. Explanations were sought in the limited size of the
 individual farm and in the shallowness of the measures. We distinguish
 three scale problems: in the spatial dimension (from farm element to
 landscape), in the management dimension (from add-on measure to farming
 system) and in the governance dimension (from little to much space for
 self-governance by farmers). These scale concepts are used to translate
 insights from ecology and agro-economy to governance approaches. We
 analyse case studies of two new approaches: an area approach with group
 contracts and spatial coordination of agri-environmental measures, and a
 farming system with substantial adaptations of the farming concept. Both
 approaches have elements of increased self-governance and could offer
 inspiration for schemes elsewhere. We propose that appropriate space for
 self-governance is necessary when choosing another scale approach for
 making agri-environment schemes more effective.

Title: Same but different: sources of natural resource management advice for lifestyle oriented rural landholders 
Abstract:
 Amenity migration to attractive and accessible non-metropolitan areas
 changes social and environmental relations with consequences for natural
 resource management and landscape composition and trajectories. Lifestyler
 oriented rural landholders are often cast as a problem for land management
 and extension. Managers and some researchers see them as a cause of
 landscape and social fragmentation and report difficulties in engaging
 such landowners on natural resource management issues and
 responsibilities. In contrast, limited existing research indicates that
 lifestylers do join and form networks of personal and other contacts for
 advice and support in land management. We contribute to this research with
 a survey of rural landholders in southeastern New South Wales (NSW). We
 explicitly compare the sources of advice for land management for
 lifestylers with those of farmers. We focus on the types of sources
 available to rural landholders in Australian regions and their relative
 importance to these two landholder groups. We find that lifestylers and
 farmers are different in their sources of advice but that both prefer
 personal sources rather than sources such as agencies. We reflect on the
 significance of the differences for engagement with lifestyle oriented
 rural landowners and for understanding landscape change.

Title: Efficient management capacity evaluation of tourism in protected areas 
Abstract:
 Despite the increasing number of protected areas around the world and
 their importance in the conservation of species and ecosystems, protected
 areas management capacity remains difficult to evaluate. A standard is
 needed to help policy makers compare the goals with the results obtained.
 This empirical research builds a tool to analyze the management efficiency
 and predicts the new touristic outcomes in case of a policy change. Using
 as example the state parks agencies in the USA, this paper develops a
 technological frontier using data envelopment analysis based on the
 Protected Areas Management Approach. After that, a prediction of the
 outcomes is analyzed with a budget change for any state park agency. Data
 suggest that many of them need to improve their performance to be more
 efficient. Another result obtained shows how budget changes will affect
 each agency's performance in different degrees and, therefore, budget
 reductions should be modeled separately.

Title: Beer, beef, and boards: the role of intermediaries in payment for ecosystem services arrangements in northwestern Montana 
Abstract:
 Payments for ecosystem or ecological services (PES) are voluntary, often
 market-based approaches to protecting environmental values. In the rural
 United States, some landowners receive PES through government led
 conservation programs, but little is known about their involvement in
 market based arrangements. We analyzed three examples of market based PES
 arrangements in northwestern Montana: watershed restoration and craft
 brewing, niche meat production, and certified timber supplies. We find
 that intermediaries were working between buyers and sellers in each case
 to set conditions for transactions and undertake the mechanics of
 implementation. These findings align with existing conceptualizations of
 intermediaries as crucial links in PES arrangements, but also suggest that
 intermediaries for market based PES arrangements are not always
 facilitators or neutral nongovernmental actors; they may actually be from
 the private sector and drive the process by serving as buyers. This
 research contributes to stronger understanding of the possibilities for
 local market based conservation in the rural West.

Title: Assessing the sustainability of water governance systems: the sustainability wheel 
Abstract:
 We present and test a conceptual and methodological approach for
 interdisciplinary sustainability assessments of water governance systems
 based on what we call the sustainability wheel. The approach combines
 transparent identification of sustainability principles, their regional
 contextualization through sub-principles (indicators), and the scoring of
 these indicators through deliberative dialogue within an interdisciplinary
 team of researchers, taking into account their various qualitative and
 quantitative research results. The approach was applied to a
 sustainability assessment of a complex water governance system in the
 Swiss Alps. We conclude that the applied approach is advantageous for
 structuring complex and heterogeneous knowledge, gaining a holistic and
 comprehensive perspective on water sustainability, and communicating this
 perspective to stakeholders.

Title: Planning, governance and rural futures in Australia and the USA: revisiting the case for rural regional planning 
Abstract:
 Rural regions in post-industrial countries confront significant new
 challenges, particularly in relation to climate, biodiversity,
 unconventional resource development and energy. Yet at a time when the
 contours of these challenges are still being sketched, and preliminary,
 planned interventions undertaken, the practice of rural planning finds
 itself at a low ebb. We examine two 'critical cases', one each from
 Australia and the USA, to explore the issues and options for capacity of
 rural regional planning to surmount these new challenges. Our examination
 indicates the urgent need for a renewed discourse on rural regional
 planning.

Title: An experimental study to explore WTP for aviation carbon offsets: the impact of a carbon tax on the voluntary action 
Abstract:
 As Australia recently introduced a mandatory carbon price, this paper
 provides a rare perspective of how such institutional changes influence
 consumer preferences for voluntary climate action. When examined using
 three contingent valuation questions, the results show that the compliance
 mechanism induces a substantial reduction in the number of air travellers
 who are willing to pay extra for voluntary carbon offsets and in the
 payment amount, although the crowding-out effect is incomplete. A
 disproportionately larger welfare benefit is attached to the carbon
 offsets for a domestic flight than its international counterpart. Overall
 empirical findings advocate the continued role of voluntary programmes.

Title: The practice of valuing the environment in cost-benefit analyses in transport and spatial projects 
Abstract:
 Scientific debates on environmental impacts in cost-benefit analysis (CBA)
 focus on methodological questions. The literature, however, contains very
 little information on the influence of these debates on CBAs made in
 spatial planning practice. In this paper, this gap is filled by a
 qualitative analysis of 67 CBAs made in the Netherlands between 2000 and
 2011. From the literature on environmental valuation, we derive criteria
 to evaluate the quality of CBA practice, such as completeness and the
 inclusion of uncertainties. The analysis shows that in many cases relevant
 environmental effects are omitted or not monetised. Moreover,
 non-monetised effects are often not included in CBA conclusions. If
 impacts are monetised, the methods used are frequently not very
 sophisticated. The consequences of assumptions are often not communicated,
 for example, where high discount rates make long-term effects seem

 practice.

Title: Climate change and coastal aquaculture farmers' risk perceptions: experiences from Bangladesh and Denmark 
Abstract:
 This paper addresses the issue of risk perception in relation to climate
 change threats, comparison of risk perceptions in two different regions,
 and derives general results of what affect peoples' level of risk
 perceptions. Revelation of individual risk perception is essential for
 local acceptance and cooperation. We do this by a comparative study with
 Bangladesh shrimp farmers and Danish mussel farmers. Since these people
 live on the edge of subsistence, already small changes in the climate will
 affect them significantly. Farmers in both developed and developing
 economies are concerned about global climate change but there are
 significant differences in farmers' perceptions of the causes of global
 climate change in developed and developing countries.

Title: Recentralisation through regionalisation in the implementation of Rural Development Policy in Scotland 
Abstract:
 In environmental policy, good governance is pertinent when inclusive
 decision making is recurrently associated with effective outcomes. This
 paper explores the European Union's good governance principles and the
 extent to which these have been adopted in the Rural Development Policy in
 Scotland. For the programme period 2007-2013 Scotland's Rural Priorities
 scheme has moved towards decentralisation by introducing regional
 decision-making committees. This study assesses the impact of this scheme
 on multi-level stakeholder relationships and the implications on policy
 outcomes. To do so, the study adopts a mixed method approach, applying a
 stakeholder mapping technique, to quantify perceptions of influence and
 interest and triangulate with data from in-depth semi-structured
 interviews. Results indicate that the attempts to widen decision making
 has resulted in a number of stakeholders perceiving themselves as less
 empowered. This analytical approach can provide the baseline against which
 governance improvements can be measured in the formulation of future
 policies.

Title: Success and failure assessment methodology for wastewater and faecal sludge treatment projects in low-income countries 
Abstract:
 Many factors influence success and failure of large-scale faecal sludge
 and wastewater treatment projects in low-income countries. Benchmarking
 indicators and multicriteria analysis were adapted to define key
 institutional, technical and financial factors, to analyse their
 interrelations, and understand priorities to consider when planning and
 managing treatment plants. For the first time, these methods have been
 combined in a quantitative manner to assess planned and on-going treatment
 plant projects. This new methodology will aid sanitation utilities,
 private consultants, and funding institutions to prioritise activities and
 organise the operation of treatment plants.

Title: Planning for global environmental change in Bangkok's informal settlements 
Abstract:
 Government agencies in cities across Asia recognise that municipalities
 must take steps to adapt to projected climate changes if people and places
 are to be kept above water. This paper focuses on planning for climate
 change in Bangkok because it ranks among the top 10 port cities vulnerable
 to climate change related flooding. It is also understood that the most
 devastating impacts of climate change will be suffered by the city's most
 vulnerable residents: the poor. Not only do impoverished people occupy
 physically vulnerable space, such as riverbanks, but they are also the
 least equipped to recover from the disruption of their livelihoods.Several
 scholars have identified "institutional traps" that prevent the Thai
 government from successfully aiding poor and marginalised flood victims in
 the past. These include poor coordination, lack of monitoring and
 evaluation, rigidity, crisis management and elite capture. Lebel, Manuta,
 and Garden (2011, 56) pose the crucial question: "How have individuals -
 from local community leaders through to national level politicians and
 bureaucrats - successfully influenced policy and programmes to avoid
 institutional traps and improve adaptive capacities to climate change?"In
 this paper, we begin to address this question through examining emergent
 methods of "community based adaptation" and reviewing case studies of
 adaptation action from other vulnerable communities in the Global South.
 These lessons - such as overcoming institutional rigidity and avoiding
 elite capture - are important for Bangkok and other cities in the Global
 South that face many different challenges by global environmental change.

Title: The influence of institutional design on local environmental interest representation in the national polity 
Abstract:
 This article investigates structural and informal institutional design
 variables to account for civil society actors' views on the political
 representation of local environmental interests in the national polity. It
 does so by linking literature on institutional design and place-based
 environmental advocacy to a case of large scale infrastructure development
 in the national interest. The case study concerns the proposal for a
 national high speed rail network ("HS2") in the United Kingdom, which is
 heavily opposed locally based on its expected adverse impacts. Through
 fieldwork research on protest against HS2 in an area of high landscape
 value, it has been found that local actors perceived specific institutions
 to structurally under-represent interests associated with environmental
 conservation, compounded further by an informal style of doing politics.
 The paper recommends that the environmental management and planning
 literature turns to institutional explanations to make insightful the
 dynamics of defending the local interest in the national sphere.

Title: Spatial allocation of material flow analysis in residential developments: a case study of Kildare County, Ireland 
Abstract:
 Studies of urban metabolism provide important insights for environmental
 management of cities, but are not widely used in planning practice due to
 a mismatch of data scale and coverage. This paper introduces the Spatial
 Allocation of Material Flow Analysis (SAMFA) model as a potential decision
 support tool aimed as a contribution to overcome some of these
 difficulties and describes its pilot use at the county level in the
 Republic of Ireland. The results suggest that SAMFA is capable of
 identifying hotspots of higher material and energy use to support targeted
 planning initiatives, while its ability to visualise different policy
 scenarios supports more effective multi-stakeholder engagement. The paper
 evaluates this pilot use and sets out how this model can act as an
 analytical platform for the industrial ecology-spatial planning nexus.

Title: Tales of science and defiance: the case for co-learning and collaboration in bridging the science/emotion divide in water recycling debates 
Abstract:
 Although science is generally assumed to be well integrated into rational
 decision-making models, it can be used to destabilise consultative
 processes, particularly when emotions are involved. Water policies are
 often seen as debates over technical and engineering issues, but can be
 highly controversial. Recycled water proposals, in particular, can create
 highly emotive conflicts. Through a case study regarding the rejection of
 recycled water proposals in the south-east Queensland, Australia, we
 explore the influence of science and emotions in contemporary water
 planning. We highlight the dangers inherent in promoting technical water
 planning issues at the expense of appropriate consideration of citizen
 concerns. Combining the science-policy interface and stakeholder
 engagement literatures, we advocate for collaborative decision-making
 processes that accommodate emotions and value judgements. A more
 collaborative stakeholder engagement model, founded on the principles of
 co-learning, has the potential to broaden the decision-making base and to
 promote better and more inclusive decision-making.

Title: Unveiling soil degradation and desertification risk in the Mediterranean basin: a data mining analysis of the relationships between biophysical and socioeconomic factors in agro-forest landscapes 
Abstract:
 Soil degradation and desertification processes in the Mediterranean basin
 reflect the interplay between environmental and socioeconomic drivers. An
 approach to evaluate comparatively the multiple relationships between
 biophysical variables and socioeconomic factors is illustrated in the
 present study using the data collected from 586 field sites located in
 five Mediterranean areas (Spain, Greece, Turkey, Tunisia and Morocco). A
 total of 47 variables were chosen to illustrate land-use, farm
 characteristics, population pressure, tourism development, rainfall
 regime, water availability, soil properties and vegetation cover, among
 others. A data mining approach incorporating non-parametric inference,
 principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering was developed to
 identify candidate syndromes of soil degradation and desertification risk.
 While field sites in the same study area showed a substantial similarity,
 the multivariate relationship among variables diverged among study areas.
 Data mining techniques proved to be a practical tool to identify spatial
 determinants of soil degradation and desertification risk. Our findings
 identify the contrasting spatial patterns for biophysical and
 socioeconomic variables, in turn associated with different responses to
 land degradation.

Title: Determinants of privatized solid waste management service provision in Lagos 
Abstract:
 The growing popularity of privatized solid waste management service in
 least developed countries warrants an exploration of factors that are
 likely to impact on its sustainability. This study takes integrated solid
 waste management approach by analyzing relevant issues on both market
 sides. We use a three step theme development sequence to analyze the data
 obtained on service providers through library research, observations and
 interviews. This was followed by an opinion survey on the demand side to
 elicit households' support for service improvement. Findings show that
 source-separation issues, government enforcement, market segmentation,
 financial issues and waste disposal issues are key factors influencing
 improved service provision. Meanwhile, on the demand side, we found that
 households are willing to support proposed regulatory improvement in
 service provision. Thus, we suggest industrial stakeholders to consider
 the aforementioned supply side issues in designing future service
 improvements that will take advantage of existing demand side feasibility.

Title: Putting transdisciplinarity into practice: a mixed mode procedure for stakeholder participation in natural resource management 
Abstract:
 The definition of management actions in natural resource management
 requires the integration of all types of knowledge involved. An
 appropriate approach for such a challenge is the ideal of
 transdisciplinarity. A transdisciplinary process can be considered
 "consultative" when knowledge is simply gathered and collated, or
 "participatory" when knowledge integration is undertaken collectively. In
 this paper, we present a mixed mode procedure (i.e., using interviews,
 questionnaires, and group discussions) that empirically demonstrates the
 difference between consultative and participatory transdisciplinary
 processes. The mixed mode procedure is used for identifying the most
 relevant problems occurring in the coastal system of Praia da Vit�ria bay,
 Azores, Portugal. This mixed mode procedure is likely to be useful for
 other studies, because the results highlight the need to promote
 face-to-face interaction at the earliest opportunity, and because it
 allows an understanding to be gained of social learning processes, the
 influence of power, and participant behaviour during interaction with
 others.

Title: The impact of domestic energy efficiency retrofit schemes on householder attitudes and behaviours 
Abstract:
 Retrofitting existing housing stock to improve energy efficiency is often
 required to meet climate mitigation, public health and fuel poverty
 targets. Increasing uptake and effectiveness of retrofit schemes requires
 understanding of their impacts on householder attitudes and behaviours.
 This paper reports results of a survey of 500 Kirklees householders in the
 UK, where the Kirklees Warm Zone scheme took place. This was a local
 government led city scale domestic retrofit programme that installed
 energy efficiency measures at no charge in over 50,000 houses. The results
 highlight key design features of the scheme, socio-economic and
 attitudinal factors that affected take-up of energy efficiency measures
 and impacts on behaviour and energy use after adoption. The results
 emphasise the role that positive feedback plays in reinforcing
 pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours of participants and in
 addressing concerns of non-participants. Our findings have implications
 for the design and operation of future domestic energy efficiency retrofit
 schemes.

Title: Sustainable development control? Zoning and land use regulations for urban form, biodiversity conservation and green design in Australia 
Abstract:
 This paper examines how Australian land use plans incorporate provisions
 for sustainable urban form, design, biodiversity conservation, and climate
 change. Despite the long-standing sustainability objectives in state
 policy frameworks, a survey of 291 comprehensive plans finds
 implementation within local instruments is far from universal. Differences
 in patterns of policy adoption, as well as potential explanations for
 these differences, including geographical location, patterns of
 residential growth, the socio-economic composition of local communities,
 political forces, and policy evolution over time, are explored. Overall,
 areas experiencing more intensive growth tend to have newer plans, which
 in turn, contain more sustainability provisions, suggesting a responsive
 rather than repressive relationship between development pressures and
 regulatory development control.

Title: Incorporating governance influences into social-ecological system models: a case study involving biodiversity conservation 
Abstract:
 Addressing environmental problems requires sophisticated approaches to
 complexity and uncertainty. Conceptual models are increasingly used to
 improve understanding of complex system interactions. However, cursory
 treatment of governance limits their analytical potential. This study
 included governance considerations in a social-ecological system model of
 biodiversity conservation in the Tasmanian Midlands (Australia).
 Effectiveness of engagement processes and conservation programme longevity
 were identified as critical governance influences. The conceptual
 representation of this system enabled exploration of how governance
 influences interact with social drivers (e.g. landholder engagement in
 conservation practices) to modify the effect of biophysical drivers (e.g.
 land use) on biodiversity outcomes. Such a methodology provides essential
 information for identifying and guiding governance related points of
 intervention.

Title: Use of contract models to improve environmental outcomes in transport infrastructure construction 
Abstract:
 The type of contract model may have a significant influence on achieving
 project objectives, including environmental and climate change goals. This
 research investigates non-standard contract models impacting greenhouse
 gas emissions (GHG) in transport infrastructure construction in Australia.
 The research is based on the analysis of two case studies: an Early
 Contractor Involvement (ECI) contract and a Design and Construct (D&C)
 contract with GHG reduction requirements embedded in the contractor
 selection. Main findings support the use of ECIs for better integrating
 decisions made during the planning phase with the construction activities,
 and improve environmental outcomes while achieving financial and time
 savings.

Title: Concept for cost effective improvement of river morphology in the context of the European Water Framework Directive 
Abstract:
 The EU Water Framework Directive calls for cost effective measures to
 achieve a "good status" in all European ground, surface and coastal
 waters. Besides eutrophication, the degradation of hydromorphology is the
 main reason for failing this objective. In this paper, we conceptualise
 the interactive decision support process BAS<italic>IN</italic>FORM-M for
 finding proper locations for river restoration. The concept combines the
 recently proposed "stepping stone approach" from aquatic ecology with
 elements from cost effectiveness analysis, multi-criteria analysis and
 participatory approaches. BAS<italic>IN</italic>FORM-M exemplifies a shift
 away from the isolated restoration of single river reaches towards a
 consideration of functional relationships within river networks.

Title: Using social network analysis to examine planner involvement in environmentally oriented planning processes led by non-planning professions 
Abstract:
 Broad stakeholder involvement cannot be assumed in all environmental
 planning and management processes that have critical land use dimensions.
 This paper illustrates how concepts and techniques from social network
 analysis (SNA) can be used to examine and better understand the roles of
 one type of stakeholders, planners, in environmentally oriented planning
 and management processes led by other professions. Two cases of natural
 hazard mitigation planning led by emergency managers illustrate the
 usefulness of three SNA concepts of network structural characteristics in
 understanding how differences in planner involvement may influence
 incorporation of land use approaches in local natural hazard mitigation
 plans aimed at reducing long term risks from natural hazards.

Title: Municipal hazard mitigation planning: a comparison of plans in British Columbia and the United States 
Abstract:
 This paper examines the extent to which 20 municipalities in the Greater
 Vancouver region of British Columbia have included provisions in their
 community plans for reducing natural hazard risk and vulnerability.
 Findings show that the plans are generally lacking in hazard related
 factual information, goals, and policies, and in mechanisms to promote
 plan implementation. The plans also do not compare favorably to municipal
 hazard mitigation plans in the United States. The authors provide
 recommendations for provincial/state and municipal governments with
 respect to improving the quality of municipal plans and their capacity to
 enhance public safety.

Title: The evolution of socio-ecological systems: changing palm species management in the Colombian Amazon as an indicator of ecological and institutional change 
Abstract:
 We investigate natural resource governance in three indigenous communities
 in the Colombian Amazon. We base our analysis on an evolutionary
 governance model in which governance dimensions emerge as relevant through
 time. The less accessible of the communities represents earlier steps in
 governance evolution, while the more physically accessible is more
 integrated into the western scene. We observe how increased physical
 accessibility in a community brings in western governance models which
 hybridize with more traditional ones, influencing the couplings between
 the social and ecological systems. We zoom in on changing management of
 three commonly used palm species and illustrate how detailed studies of
 natural resource management contribute to understanding governance
 evolution. By comparing governance evolutions we were able to gain
 insights and improve our understanding on how natural resource management
 changes in communities transiting into western ways of living. In doing so
 we recognized points of rigidity and flexibility which might influence the
 social ecological systems capacity to adapt to changing conditions.

Title: The effect of landscape type and landscape elements on public visual preferences: ways to use knowledge in the context of landscape planning 
Abstract:
 This study deals with an assessment of the visual quality of landscapes,
 and specifically with the perception of selected elements in the
 landscape. The aim of the study was to find out how particular elements
 are perceived in various landscape types, whether this perception is
 affected by the landscape type in which the elements are placed, and to
 what extent the respondents' characteristics affect the assessment. The
 study was carried out with a sample of respondents of various ages,
 educational levels and types of employment. The respondents came from
 Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The preferences of the respondents were
 determined using an online questionnaire, in which they rated landscape
 photographs on a 21 point rating scale with a range from  - 10 to +10
 points. Using generalised linear mixed effect models, it was found that
 the perception of an element is most affected by the landscape type, since
 the same element was assessed differently according to the landscape in
 which it was situated. The results confirmed that selected elements which
 do not disturb the harmony of the landscape are generally positively
 perceived, and the selected elements of a technical character are
 generally negatively perceived. Among the characteristics of the
 respondents, only gender and the respondent's current place of residence
 have an effect on their visual preferences.

Title: Implementing comprehensive plans: indicators for a task-sheet based performance evaluation process 
Abstract:
 Evaluation in spatial planning aims to raise effectiveness of plans as
 well as efficiency in planning processes. Given that research regarding
 evaluation of performance and especially plan implementation is sparse,
 this study presents a minimal set of indicators for a task-sheet based
 performance evaluation approach for Swiss cantonal comprehensive plans.
 Thematic task-sheets are a promising characteristic of cantonal
 comprehensive plans. They translate the comprehensive planning strategy
 into concrete evaluable tasks. The presented indicators allow assessing
 procedural efficiency of coordination and implementation of planning tasks
 (performance). We argue that if task-sheets comply with certain plan
 quality characteristics, a task-sheet based performance evaluation
 approach can support the effectiveness of plans and promote the objectives
 of the planning strategy. We point out plan content and characteristics
 necessary for effective execution of our approach. As a result, our
 findings can serve as a framework for designing evaluation processes for
 comprehensive planning documents beyond Switzerland.

Title: Agricultural landscapes as multi-scale public good and the role of the Common Agricultural Policy 
Abstract:
 During the last 50&nbsp;years, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has
 impacted the evolution of European agricultural landscapes by driving
 changes in land use and farming practices. We propose a typology
 characterising the scales relevant for agricultural landscapes management
 and argue that action is required on three scales: (1) a landscape
 oriented management at the farm level; (2) the coordination of land
 managers' actions at the landscape level; and (3) the conservation of the
 diversity of agricultural landscapes in the EU. We provide evidence that
 until now the CAP has mainly focused on the first scale. We also
 illustrate how agricultural policy could encourage coordinated actions at
 the landscape- and EU-scales. In particular, we propose policy instruments
 to coordinate actions of individual land owners (e.g. collective bonus in
 agro-environmental contracts or support to environmental cooperatives
 (scale 2)). We also analyse how the recognition and transposition of the
 European Landscape Convention could promote trans-frontier landscape
 cooperation in order, not only to conserve high-quality rural landscapes,
 but also to ensure the conservation of the diversity of EU landscapes
 (scale 3). This paper provides a knowledge base to support an integrated
 CAP design in the direction of improved landscape management, as an
 important component of the EU project towards more sustainable
 agriculture.

Title: Assessing the role of economic actors in the production of private and public goods in three EU agricultural landscapes 
Abstract:
 The study analyses the contribution of relevant economic actors to the
 provision of private and public goods in agricultural landscapes. A method
 consisting of a multi-sectoral perspective and an integrated approach
 based on the analytic network process (ANP) and the use of selected local
 stakeholders is applied. The usefulness of the method is demonstrated in
 three European case studies in Austria, Italy and Spain. The results show
 that agriculture and tourism are the sectors that contribute the most and
 the least, respectively, to the provision of goods and services in
 agricultural landscapes. Moreover, the results underscore that policy
 instruments towards such provision need to be targeted differently in
 different areas and must take into account the different roles of the
 local actors involved.

Title: A Bayesian network highlighting the linkages between landscape structure and the local economy: the case of agritourism in lowland areas of Northern Italy 
Abstract:
 Linking landscapes to socio-economic benefits necessarily requires
 considering the usability of landscape structure. To do so, however,
 depends on the interaction between users and producers of
 landscape-related services. We illustrate this interaction with a Bayesian
 Belief Network (BBN) in a case study analysing the connection between
 residents' perceptions of landscape structure and agritourism restaurants
 in the eastern lowlands of Ferrara (Italy). We use estimates of prior and
 conditional probabilities from a mix of different data: land use, survey
 data, regional statistics, and expert judgements to show the likely
 effects of the landscape structure on the local economy by using
 intermediate forms of services (i.e. second-order services). The
 second-order service is highly influenced by the agritourism density and
 by the frequency with which customers dine at agritourism restaurants and
 less by landscape attractiveness, confirming the importance of the supply
 and demand of second-order services in the provision of landscape-related
 services.

Title: Agricultural policies and the emergence of voluntary landscape enhancement efforts: an exploratory analysis of rural tourism using an agent-based model 
Abstract:
 Conservation and enhancement of ecosystem services have become a priority
 of rural policies. Feedback loops from rural policies on ecosystem service
 supply have often been highlighted in the literature, but only vaguely
 investigated. In this paper, we model feedback loops from rural policies
 through an agent-based model, and we analyse whether feedback loops can
 indirectly create a system in which voluntarily landscape enhancement
 emerges from the interactions between farmers and rural tourists. The
 results suggest that, in certain conditions, feedback loops from policies
 can be a relevant element to take into account, but that greater attention
 to the ecosystem service demand is required.

Title: Decomposing patterns of emission intensity in the EU and China: how much does trade matter? 
Abstract:
 We use data from the World Input-Output Database to examine channels
 through which CO<sub>2</sub> emissions are embodied within, and imported
 into, the European production in 2005 and in 2009. We use an input-output
 price model to simulate the effect that a rise in the price of emissions
 trading system (ETS) allowances would have on the final price of goods. We
 find a reduction in emission intensity, which was greatest in those
 sectors regulated under ETS. Finally we examine the trade between China
 and the EU to study possible increases in carbon leakage. Results show
 that emissions embodied in imported intermediate goods have increased in
 all sectors.

Title: Decision support for adaptive action - assessing the potential of geographic visualization 
Abstract:
 This study explores the role of geographic visualization for supporting
 the implementation of climate change adaptation. Interviews and group
 discussions with planners and decision makers indicate that geographic
 visualization bears primary potential for communicative purposes. In order
 to respond to analytical needs a high level of interactivity including the
 exploration of background data and the ability to link the tools with own
 databases were some of the key requirements made by the participants. The
 study concludes that more than better climate predictions, awareness and
 involvement may be precisely what is needed to narrow the implementation
 gap in climate change adaptation.

Title: Sustaining local values through river basin governance: community-based initiatives in Australia's Murray-Darling basin 
Abstract:
 Australia's Murray-Darling basin (MDB) water plan is an ambitious attempt
 to balance ecological, social and economic benefits, where a key aspect of
 the reform process has been recovery of water for environmental use. This
 paper focuses on a set of initiatives established by a local
 non-governmental organisation and an Indigenous community designed to
 engage with local values and priorities and incorporate them into this
 complex river basin governance system. Contrary to expectations that local
 and basin-scale interests and outcomes will diverge, the case studies
 reveal the ability for local groups to collaboratively manage both land
 and water resources to achieve locally important outcomes, and contribute
 to basin-scale outcomes. The analysis also highlights a progressive style
 of community-based environmental management for water management that
 utilises multiple institutional arrangements and planning pathways to
 protect the values that are important to local communities, and to nest
 those values within the broader effort to sustainably manage the basin's
 water resources.

Title: Adaptation potential of ecosystem-based management to climate change in the eastern Canadian boreal forest 
Abstract:
 Ecosystem-based management (EBM) of forests is gaining acceptance for its
 focus on the maintenance of the long-term integrity of ecosystem
 processes, but climate change challenges this view because of its impacts
 on these very processes. We have therefore evaluated the robustness of EBM
 to projected climate change, considering the role of climate on forest
 growth and fire regime in a boreal forest of eastern Canada. A climate
 sensitive growth index model was calibrated for three commercial species
 and used to project the evolution of merchantable volume for two climate
 scenarios (B1 and A2) under conventional and EBM strategies. Current burn
 rate and burn rates under future climate scenarios were also considered.
 Under the most extreme projected climate scenario, the periodic timber
 supply could be reduced by up to 79% through direct (growth reduction) and
 indirect (fire) effects. However, ecological indicators show that EBM is a
 more robust forest management strategy than conventional one demonstrating
 its adaptation potential to climate change at least in the short term.

Title: A critical investigation of evaluation matrices to inform coastal adaptation and planning decisions at the local scale 
Abstract:
 Local governments are under pressure to tackle an increasing spectrum of
 complex contemporary problems, such as climate change, while ensuring
 multiple stakeholder interests are incorporated into decision processes.
 Multi-criteria decision tools can assist, but challenges remain in
 creating an enabling environment for incorporating and balancing different
 stakeholder perspectives. Here, we draw on interview data and a
 sensitivity analysis to investigate the use of an evaluation matrix to
 guide local coastal adaptation decision-making in South Africa. We adopt a
 participatory action research framework and find that decision-making is
 influenced by individual, departmental and institutional values that are
 not adequately captured in the matrix approach. Our study reveals the
 compromise between achieving broad stakeholder representation and
 utilising technical expertise, and that altering matrix assumptions can
 imply different decision outcomes. Suggestions are made to improve
 multi-criteria decision approaches to better facilitate integrated coastal
 management in responding to local coastal adaptation challenges.

Title: Cumulative adverse effects of offshore wind energy development on wildlife 
Abstract:
 Offshore wind energy development (OWED) is being pursued as a critical
 component in achieving a low-carbon energy economy. While the potential
 generating capacity is high, the cumulative effects of expansion of OWED
 on wildlife remain unclear. Since environmental regulations in many
 countries require analysis of the cumulative adverse effects (CAE) during
 permitting processes, this paper reviews the state of knowledge on CAE of
 OWED on wildlife. We synthesize ecological research on the effects of OWED
 on wildlife; delineate a framework for determining the scope of CAE
 assessments; describe approaches to avoiding, minimizing and compensating
 for CAE; and discuss critical uncertainties.

Title: Comparison of preservation values between Internet and interview survey modes: the case of Dokdo, South Korea 
Abstract:
 With the increase in employment of Internet surveys, there is a need to
 address how this survey mode affects inferences. Internet and interview
 modes are compared in estimating the preservation value of Dokdo, South
 Korea. Estimates of willingness to pay in the Internet survey are smaller
 than those in the interview survey. This may be attributable to the
 interview respondents being conscious of the presence of the interviewers,
 given the social importance of Dokdo to Koreans. Internet surveys may be
 effective in reducing overestimation of the willingness to pay in
 situations where potential social desirability is present.

Title: Influencing climate change regulations: examining responses from large-scale firms 
Abstract:
 Recent climate change projections and a push towards a universal agreement
 on carbon emission reductions suggest that firms will need to respond to
 future regulatory changes. This paper employs an influencing strategies
 lens to examine how large-scale firms might respond to future climate
 change regulations. The study uses a structured qualitative methodology to
 explore and explicate the strategic responses from 21 international firms
 to the proposed emissions trading scheme outlined in Australia's Garnaut
 Climate Change Review. The results of the analysis show that firms can use
 pre-emptive influencing strategies in attempts to shape and mould
 regulatory design parameters, secure high levels of transitional economic
 support, and shift the balance of public policies and expenditure.
 Complementary defensive strategies may also target policy makers and
 regulators with some of the potential negative consequences of the new
 regulations.

Title: Spatial environmental efficiency indicators in regional waste generation: a nonparametric approach 
Abstract:
 This paper computes and analyses, for the first time, environmental
 efficiencies in waste generation of 116 European regions in NUTS 2 level
 in five European countries over the period of 2008-2010. For this reason,
 different data envelopment analysis (DEA) model formulations are used for
 modeling the pollutant in the form of waste generation as a regular output
 and as a regular input. In the latter case, we also use the notion of
 eco-efficiency. The empirical findings reveal environmental inefficiencies
 among the regions, indicating the lack of a uniform regional environmental
 policy among the European countries. This finding is observed not only for
 regions between different countries but also among the regions within
 countries, implying the need for implementation of unified appropriate
 municipal environmental policies in waste management.

Title: More than money: how multiple factors influence householder participation in at-source stormwater management 
Abstract:
 Urban stormwater run-off is a threat to stream ecosystems. New approaches
 to stormwater management aim to protect urban streams from such impacts,
 by retaining, treating and using stormwater at its source. As up to
 &sim;50% of runoff from urban surfaces comes from private property,
 fostering stormwater retention requires effective householder engagement.
 We evaluated householder participation in the Little Stringybark Creek
 project, a stormwater retrofit programme aimed at waterway protection,
 using qualitative enquiry through formal and informal interviews to
 identify factors that influenced participation. Participation was governed
 by multiple factors, with financial incentives and personal co-benefits of
 tanks primary motivators, while process complexity and distrust were
 primary barriers. Results suggest an approach combining education to
 encourage review of subjective norms and attitudes, with incentives to
 mitigate behavioural controls can transform public behaviour towards
 sustainable stormwater management.

Title: Can California coastal managers plan for sea-level rise in a cost-effective way? 
Abstract:
 This paper examines five representative sites on the California coast to
 illustrate a cost-effective methodology using tools and data that local
 decision makers can apply to analyse the economics of sea level rise (SLR)
 adaptation. We estimate the costs/benefits of selected responses (e.g. no
 action, nourishment, seawalls) to future flooding and erosion risks
 exacerbated by SLR. We estimate the economic value of changes to
 public/private property, recreational and habitat value, and beach related
 spending/tax revenues. Our findings indicate that the costs of SLR are
 significant but uneven across communities, and there is no single best
 strategy for adaptation. For example, Los Angeles's Venice Beach could
 lose $450 million in tourism revenue by 2100 with a 1.4&nbsp;m SLR
 scenario while San Francisco's Ocean Beach would lose $80 million, but the
 impacts to structures could total nearly $560 million at Ocean Beach
 compared to $50 million at Venice Beach.

Title: A conceptual approach to model sand-gravel extraction from rivers based on a game theory perspective 
Abstract:
 Sand-gravel mining is a significant parameter of economic development and
 social welfare function in modern societies. As demand for aggregate
 increases in construction industry, conflicts for the availability of the
 resource and environmental impacts become more intense. The present paper
 describes the contested <italic>status quo</italic> in riverbed
 sand-gravel mining activities with an example from Greece, as a case
 study. The scope is to propose a methodology about good governance of the
 mining sector that promotes a sustainable sharing of aggregate resource by
 securing environment and safekeeping revenues in the mining trade market.

Title: Exploring constraints and incentives for the adoption of agroforestry practices on degraded cropland in Uzbekistan 
Abstract:
 Agroforestry is often an economically viable land-use option for the
 environmental rehabilitation of salinized cropping areas in irrigated
 drylands, but afforestation initiative at the farm level is subject to
 various socio-political constraints. We analyzed the factors that affect
 farmer decisions with respect to the agroforestry adoption using an
 <italic>ex ante</italic> approach through Ethnographic Decision Tree
 Modeling (EDTM). Constraints on agroforestry adoption were identified via
 a review of legal documents, focus-group discussions, and a farm survey in
 northwest Uzbekistan. The findings highlighted the importance of farmer
 perceptions of risk with respect to decision making surrounding the
 adoption of alternative land uses. The EDTM analysis allowed determining
 those policy incentives for afforestation that could directly influence
 the decision-making process of potential participants. In particular,
 there is a need for increased land-use flexibility, improved land tenure
 and tree plantation proprietorship security, increased awareness raising
 and training in agroforestry practices, and greater institutional support.

Title: Residents' willingness to pay for improved liquid waste treatment in urban Ethiopia: results of choice experiment in Addis Ababa 
Abstract:
 This paper discusses residents' willingness to pay (WTP) for improved
 liquid waste treatment in Addis Ababa based on data collected in 2011
 using random parameter logit model. Findings indicate that respondents are
 willing to contribute for improved liquid waste treatment with higher
 quantity and quality. Their mean WTP for the medium improvement scenario
 is found to be 15.53 ETB (0.93 USD) per month. The compensation surplus
 tends to increase from the status quo to the alternative scenarios with
 aggressive improvement. Finally, the paper concludes by indicating the
 socioeconomic difference across households, and sub-cities need to be
 considered in designing environmental protection plans for the city.

Title: Result-oriented approaches to the management of drinking water catchments in agricultural landscapes 
Abstract:
 Management of water quality in drinking water catchments is of ongoing,
 high importance as nitrate concentrations are often still very high. We
 analysed the Augsburg catchment in Germany, a unique example where a
 result-oriented approach has been implemented. We investigated the
 historical evolution of the water protection programme, the
 result-oriented payment contracts with farmers, and farmer satisfaction
 with the contracts, based on interviews with the water utility and farmers
 as well as an analysis of the literature. Today, the water protection
 programme has been successfully implemented, and a significant reduction
 of nitrate concentration was achieved due to the following factors: (1)
 investment of non-negligible amounts of money for high compensation and
 remuneration payments, (2) different contract options, (3) farmers'
 participation in the negotiation process for result-oriented payment
 contracts, (4) involvement of "outside" people and institutions in
 negotiation processes, (5) anticipation of starting a programme when
 nitrate levels were still far below legislative thresholds, and (6) a
 political and legislative framework allowing direct decisions by a water
 supplier.

Title: Does corporate social performance reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the macro level? 
Abstract:
 Corporate social performance (CSP) is assumed to have a positive impact on
 macroeconomic sustainability, but empirical evidence of this impact is
 absent in the literature. The objective of this paper is to investigate
 the macro impacts of CSP. We first establish a conceptual framework on the
 relationship between CSP at the individual business level and
 sustainability at the macro level. Next, we empirically test the
 relationship between (averaged) CSP scores and greenhouse gas emissions at
 the macro level for 22 countries during 2004-2011. We use Granger
 causality tests to check for Granger causality. The estimation results
 show that CSP reduces greenhouse gas emissions, but the long-term effect
 is rather modest.

Title: Optimized forest degradation model (OFDM): an environmental decision support system for environmental impact assessment using an artificial neural network 
Abstract:
 The purpose of this article is Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling
 using ecological and associated factors with forest degradation to predict
 the degradation of ecosystem, thereby enabling us to assess the
 environmental impacts of forest projects as an Environmental Decision
 Support System (EDSS). Results of the Multi-Layer Feed-Forward Network
 (MLFN), trained for Optimized Forest Degradation Model (OFDM), indicate
 that the performance of OFDM is more than other degradation models.
 Changes in forest management activities with higher value in sensitivity
 analysis help forest managers to decrease OFDM entity and environment
 impacts. The system is an intelligent EDSS, which allows the
 decision-maker to model criteria in forest degradation in order to reach
 and employ the optimal allocation plan. Considering results, multi
 criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approaches based on ANN, is an
 encouraging and robust method for solving MCDA problems.

Title: Correcting for non-response bias in contingent valuation surveys concerning environmental non-market goods: an empirical investigation using an online panel 
Abstract:
 Data collection for economic valuation by using Internet surveys and
 pre-recruited Internet panels can be associated with severe disadvantages.
 Problems concerning sample coverage and sample representativeness can be
 expected. Representation errors may occur since people can choose whether
 to be part of an Internet panel and subsequently whether they wish to
 participate in the survey, thereby introducing two elements of potential
 self-selection. These elements may be correlated with preferences, thus
 making the respondents a non-random and non-representative sample,
 ultimately biasing results. This paper analyses a sample used for an
 Internet contingent valuation method survey eliciting preferences for
 improvements in water quality of a river. We find that some variables that
 affect the survey participation decision also affect willingness-to-pay,
 consequently biasing our welfare estimates. We show how adjusting
 willingness-to-pay for this bias can be accomplished by using a grouped
 data model incorporating a correlation parameter to account for selection.

Title: Ecosystem services assessments in local municipal decision making in South Africa: justification for the use of a business-based approach 
Abstract:
 The ecosystem services (ES) concept is being increasingly incorporated
 into environmental policy formulation and management approaches. The
 Corporate Ecosystem Services Review (ESR) is a framework used to assess
 the dependence and impact that a business has on ES. The success of the
 corporate experience of ES assessment provides an opportunity for adaption
 for local authority decision making. In this paper, the ESR tool was
 adapted to the South African setting at a local government level, and
 tested at two sites in the Msunduzi Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal. In
 testing the tool and gathering feedback from key stakeholders, it was
 found that there are both opportunities and challenges to this approach.
 Overall, however, it provides an opportunity for the systematic inclusion
 of ES assessment into existing regulatory frameworks for land-use planning
 and Integrated Environmental Management, whether in a strategic
 application, at a broader spatial (municipal) scale or in a specific
 locale within the municipality.

Title: How to foster agroecological innovations? A comparison of participatory design methods 
Abstract:
 Facing contemporary environmental crisis implies fostering agroecological
 innovations that take into account local ecological regulations and rely
 on multiple stakeholders' innovation capacities. This paper draws on two
 fields of literature that remain unconnected so far: participatory
 approaches and design sciences. It proposes an analysis grid to support a
 reflexive analysis of cases of implementation of three participatory
 design methods: ComMod (Companion Modelling for concerted management of
 natural resources), Forage Rummy (simulation-based board game for
 designing farming systems) and KCP (collective design workshops to foster
 innovation). This analysis highlights key features of the methods in view
 of agroecological innovation challenges, focusing on knowledge management
 and organisation for exploration.

Title: A contribution for the evaluation of the territorial impact of transport infrastructures in the early stages of the EIA: application to the Huelva (Spain)-Faro (Portugal) rail link 
Abstract:
 The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedure should predict and
 identify the major impacts of a project development that may cause
 specific spatial and temporal effects. Early in the EIA, the scoping stage
 provides all the relevant information on the impacts of the project
 alternatives. In particular, potential effects on the territorial network
 such as habitat connectivity loss and accessibility improvements should be
 taken into account in the various proposed layout alternatives when
 evaluating transport infrastructure projects. However, several authors
 have identified deficiencies in practice. The aim of this article is to
 provide a methodology for the assessment of these territorial impacts
 using adequate indicators in the early stages of the EIA procedure.The
 proposed method is based on a comparison of a range of alternative layouts
 for a railway line linking two population centres, using indicators
 calculated with geographic information systems. The methodology was
 applied to a case study - the rail link between Huelva (Spain) and Faro
 (Portugal) - and the high speed rail (HSR) and conventional rail were
 evaluated in different layouts. The method was effective in spatially
 identifying significant impacts on accessibility improvements, which
 occurred closer to the cross border area. The conventional railway
 alternatives have similar accessibility values to the HSR. The results
 also reveal that connectivity loss is not limited to the area around the
 infrastructure, but extends throughout the territory. The results are at
 variance with the initiative proposed by Spanish and Portuguese transport
 decision-makers, and raise the possibility of selecting a conventional
 railway option. An adequate territorial evaluation methodology enables the
 new action to be correctly assessed, and supplies the information required
 to propose the most suitable alternative from a socio-economic and
 environmental standpoint, regardless of whether this proposal was
 initially included in the transport policy.

Title: Understanding communicational behavior among rangelands' stakeholders: application of social network analysis 
Abstract:
 Understanding communicational behavior of rangelands' stakeholders is
 fundamental for effective development of rangeland management plans. This
 study aimed to understand differences between stakeholders' relations
 among various actors involved in rangeland management using social network
 analysis (SNA). A survey was conducted on 334 stakeholders (89 extension
 agents, 110 researchers and 135 executive agents) in the Tehran province,
 Iran. Results showed that all the three groups of stakeholders are
 interested in making contact mainly within their own group. Furthermore,
 while the executive agents have shared the strongest technical and
 friendship relations with the two other groups, the extension agents
 established the strongest administrative interactions. The researchers,
 however, made a poor link especially with the extension agents. The study
 concluded that SNA could be an efficient tool to assess communicational
 behavior in rangeland management.

Title: Willingness to pay towards a public good: how does a refund option affect stated values? 
Abstract:
 Mandatory taxes and/or voluntary contributions are commonly adopted as the
 payment vehicle when eliciting willingness to pay (WTP) in environmental
 valuation studies. While mandatory taxes may arouse negative feelings,
 voluntary contributions may lead to strategic behaviour (over bidding) or
 free riding (under bidding). In this paper, we explore an alternative
 payment vehicle which avoids the draconian undertones associated with
 taxes and may be more incentive compatible than a voluntary contribution -
 a tax that incorporates a refund option. The template for such a payment
 vehicle is the value added tax charged to tourists in Ireland, but which
 can be reclaimed on exiting the country. In the context of raising public
 funds to support the conservation of rural countryside landscape, a
 comparison is made between the elicited WTP via a mandatory tax and that
 elicited via the alternative payment method incorporating a refund option.
 While we observe similar participation rates between the two payment
 methods, the refund option reveals a higher stated WTP.

Title: Implementing the European flood risk management plan 
Abstract:
 In response to the extreme flood events of recent decades, the European
 Union has released the Floods Directive (2007/60/EC), which requires the
 creation of flood risk management plans. These plans do not yet exist in
 practice, as water management agencies have until 2015 to put them into
 action. This contribution will discuss two questions regarding the
 European flood risk management plan: First, how is the new instrument
 integrated into the various member states, particularly with respect to
 the scenario approach? Second, how prepared are the institutions for the
 collaborative planning paradigm of the flood risk management plan,
 particularly with respect to the river basin districts approach? Citing
 examples from France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Great Britain, this
 paper offers both a pessimistic and an optimistic perspective on the
 implementation of the new flood risk management instrument.

Title: Environmental impact assessment of infrastructure projects: a governance perspective 
Abstract:
 Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has been promoted as an instrument
 for preventive environmental management in construction projects, but its
 performance in safeguarding the environment through influencing project
 decision-making is questioned. This paper probes the underlying reasons
 from a governance perspective as an important supplement to the regulatory
 and technical perspectives. A framework, with process integration,
 professional governance, and public engagement being its key components,
 is proposed to analyze the governance arrangements that enable or inhibit
 the effective functioning of EIA, based on which a comparative study of
 three infrastructure projects in China, the United States and Finland was
 conducted. The results reveal that, while the level of process integration
 and public engagement of EIA determines the degree to which EIA influences
 project decisions, it is the professional governance that controls the
 accountability of EIA. The paper has implications on institutionally where
 efforts should be directed to improve the performance of EIA.

Title: Urban sustainability -- a segmentation study of Greater Brisbane, Australia 
Abstract:
 Setting universal goals for sustainability is problematic and may hinder
 the adoption of sustainable pathways as different sectors of society often
 have differing opinions on not just what sustainability means for them,
 but also what is of priority to them. This paper tests a set of
 psychographic, behavioural, lifestyle and social identities to segment the
 public on sustainability. We evaluate general knowledge, apply
 social-choice tools to identify public priorities, and then apply
 segmentation to reveal broad strata of community profiles around these
 choices. We discuss our findings in the context of moving beyond knowledge
 on sustainability and general public choices, to more nuanced messaging
 and engagement that respects differences in sustainability orientations.
 We suggest that by focusing on what matters most for different segments of
 society, there is potential to design effective processes to engage with
 people and acquire better ownership of sustainability.

Title: A measurement of community disaster resilience in Korea 
Abstract:
 Building a community that is resilient to disasters has become one of the
 main goals of disaster management. Communities that are more disaster
 resilient often experience less impact from the disaster and reduced
 recovery periods afterwards. This study develops a methodology for
 constructing a set of indicators measuring Community Disaster Resilience
 Index (CDRI) in terms of human, social, economic, environmental, and
 institutional factors. In this study, the degree of community resilience
 to natural disasters was measured for 229 local municipalities in Korea,
 followed by an examination of the relationship between the aggregated CDRI
 and disaster losses, using an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression
 method and a geographically weighted regression (GWR) method. Identifying
 the extent of community resilience to natural disasters would provide
 emergency managers and decision-makers with strategic directions for
 improving local communities' resilience to natural disasters while
 reducing the negative impacts of disasters.

Title: Assessing impacts on urban greenspace, waterways, and vegetation in urban planning 
Abstract:
 Parks, waterways, and vegetation enhance the well-being of urbanites and
 thus warrant consideration in planning and policy-making. It is, however,
 difficult to assess how land-use change may impact these features and how
 this in turn may impact well-being. I use a case-study approach to present
 a framework that combines geospatial and economic valuation techniques to
 generate indicators of the effects of land-use policies that alter these
 amenities on community well-being. This framework quantifies the impacts
 of land-use change on urban environmental amenities in a way that could
 help communities plan land use so as to maintain well-being as they
 urbanise.

Title: The Great Recession or progressive energy policies? Explaining the decline in US greenhouse gas emissions forecasts 
Abstract:
 This paper evaluates the causes of the 23% decline in 2030 US greenhouse
 gas emissions forecasts between 2007 and 2011. Dynamic regression modeling
 predicts that the Great Recession contributed to about 67% of the
 2008--2009 emissions decline, but then fell to about an 18% share for the
 2030 emissions forecast. An analysis of electricity generation forecasts
 show that switching from coal to gas contributed only 6% to the total 2030
 decline. In contrast, regulatory impact assessments and policy analysis
 showed that state and federal policies were responsible for 46% of the
 2030 decline in emissions.

Title: Local governing of climate change in Denmark: recasting citizens as consumers 
Abstract:
 This paper is concerned with the ways in which Danish municipalities seek
 to mitigate climate change through a range of governance strategies.
 Through the analysis of ten municipal climate plans using the framework of
 Mitchell Dean, as well as extensive ethnographic fieldwork in two
 municipalities, this paper explores how local climate change mitigation is
 shaped by particular rationalities and technologies of government, and
 thus seeks to illustrate how the strategies set out in the plans construe
 climate change mitigation from a certain perspective, thereby rendering
 some solutions more likely than others and recasting citizens as passive
 consumers who are to be guided to consume in more climate-friendly ways in
 the process.

Title: Community resilience, land degradation and endogenous lock-in effects: evidence from the Alento region, Campania, Italy 
Abstract:
 This study analyses social, economic and political
 &#x201c;lock-ins&#x201d; for understanding community resilience and land
 degradation. The study focuses on lock-ins from within communities, using
 four case study communities in Italy affected by land degradation. The
 analysis highlights the complex interrelationships between various
 lock-ins, and suggests that the communities are on declining resilience
 pathways that may lead to increasing difficulties in addressing land
 degradation issues in future.

Title: Fit for purpose? Establishing the robustness of EIA screening systems for land-use planning using a case study from South Australia 
Abstract:
 Screening is a critical first stage of the environmental impact assessment
 (EIA) process, vetting development proposals to determine whether or not
 they require a full assessment. Inadequately executed significance tests
 undermine EIA's purpose of environmental protection. There is considerable
 variation across jurisdictions in terms of prescriptive and discretionary
 significance tests and the criteria and thresholds within them. Of all
 aspects of EIA, screening is cited as the most frequent source of actual
 infringements, yet there is a dearth of research in this area. This paper
 presents an empirical study from South Australia that investigates the
 adequacy of its discretionary screening process. The findings suggest that
 improvements are much needed toward improved consistency and transparency
 of decision-making and, ultimately better environmental protection. The
 paper prompts a thorough examination of significance testing elsewhere.

Title: Community wildfire protection planning in the American West: homogeneity within diversity? 
Abstract:
 As large wildfires have become common across the American West, federal
 policies such as the Healthy Forests Restoration Act have empowered local
 communities to plan for their own wildfire protection. Here, we present an
 analysis of 113 community wildfire protection plans from 10 western states
 where large fires have recently occurred. These plans contain wide
 diversity in terms of specific plan elements and dimensions, yet less
 diversity in the paradigms underlying their fire protection approaches.
 These patterns held true across both plans constructed solely by local
 actors as well as those constructed with the help of outside consultant
 expertise.

Title: Capacity for climate change planning: assessing metropolitan responses in the United States 
Abstract:
 Political inaction at the federal level in the United States has driven
 increased attention to the importance of planning for climate change at
 the metropolitan level. This study reports on a survey of 25 regional
 councils in the United States that measures the extent to which they have
 adopted climate change plans and to identify the factors that influence
 their ability to implement climate change initiatives. The findings
 revealed that a majority of regional councils are involved in planning for
 and seeking to reduce climate change, and that existing efforts in
 complementary policy domains make this involvement possible. The findings
 support a multi-level framework to assess the institutional capacity of
 regional councils to implement climate change policy and planning in a
 metropolitan area.

Title: The impact of ISO 14001 on corporate environmental performance: a study of Swedish manufacturing firms 
Abstract:
 The debate concerning the environmental effectiveness of environmental
 management systems (EMS) based on ISO 14001 is still open and scholars
 have called for further studies that can explain the contrasting evidence
 in previous research. As a response, this study aims to contribute
 knowledge about the effects of ISO 14001-based EMS by presenting
 fact-based environmental data. The study focuses on changes in performance
 over a period of 12 years and includes both firms with an EMS (66 firms)
 and firms without one (50 firms). Consideration is given to the
 improvement efforts in the firms before EMS adoption making it possible to
 neutralize any selection effects where better environmental performance
 precedes ISO 14001 adoption. Analysis has been carried out using
 statistical methods for six different environmental areas. No
 statistically significant differences between certified and non-certified
 firms concerning the change in the rate of improvement could be found in
 any of the six areas. However, it can be suspected that EMS adoption has
 positive effects on energy use and waste production whereas the
 non-adopting firms seem to perform better concerning air emissions. These
 mixed results mirrors previous research, which is rather worrying
 considering the worldwide popularity of EMS based on ISO 14001 in
 industry.

Title: The relevance of physical forces on land-use change and planning process 
Abstract:
 This study analysed the importance of physical forces on land-use change,
 on the planning framework in a Portuguese periurban area. A temporal
 matrix showing the trajectories of land transformation was obtained. A
 multivariate redundancy analysis explored the importance of physical
 parameters on temporal and spatial land-use change. A content analysis on
 urban or municipal master plans was made framing the importance of
 physical parameters on the planning process. The results highlighted a
 consistent trajectory of profound land-use changes with distinctive
 trajectories, with increasingly complex patterns with a limited dependence
 on physical variables. The trajectories were more related to the planning
 framework, where political actors and planning managers seemed to be most
 important. A theoretical model balancing three main components -- physical
 forces, actors, and land transformation (DFA-C model) is proposed,
 reflecting the informal relationships between physical parameters and
 actors during the planning process.

Title: Role of non-timber forest products in sustaining forest-based livelihoods and rural households' resilience capacity in and around protected area: a Bangladesh study&#x2020; 
Abstract:
 People in the developing world derive a significant part of their
 livelihoods from various forest products, particularly non-timber forest
 products (NTFPs). This article attempts to explore the contribution of
 NTFPs in sustaining forest-based rural livelihood in and around a
 protected area (PA) of Bangladesh, and their potential role in enhancing
 households' resilience capacity. Based on empirical investigation, our
 study revealed that local communities gather a substantial amount of NTFPs
 from national park despite the official restrictions. Twenty seven percent
 households (HHs) of the area received at least some cash benefit from the
 collection, processing and selling of NTFPs, and NTFPs contribute to HHs'
 primary, supplementary and emergency sources of income. NTFPs also
 constituted an estimated 19% of HHs' net annual income, and were the
 primary occupation for about 18% of the HHs. HHs' dependency on nearby
 forests for various NTFPs varied vis-&#xe0;-vis their socio-economic
 condition, as well as with their location from the park. Based on our case
 study, the article also offers some clues for improving the situation in
 PA.

Title: Direct and indirect land-use change as prospective climate change indicators for peri-urban development transitions 
Abstract:
 With urban areas responsible for a significant share of total
 anthropogenic emissions, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to land-use
 change (LUC) induced by peri-urban (PU) development have the potential to
 be considerable. Despite this, there is little research into the
 transition from PU cropland to housing in terms of contribution to global
 warming. This paper presents a cross-sectoral integrative method for
 prospective climate change evaluation of PU LUC. Specifically, direct LUC
 (dLUC) GHG emissions from converting PU cropland to greenfield housing
 were examined. Additionally, GHG emissions due to displaced crop
 production inducing indirect LUC (iLUC) elsewhere were assessed. GHG
 impacts of dLUC and iLUC were each determined to be approximately 8 per
 cent of total GHG emissions due to a greenfield housing development
 displacing PU cropland. This magnitude of dLUC and iLUC emissions suggests
 that both have importance in future land-use decision making with respect
 to PU environments.

Title: Determinants of homeowners' attitudes to the installation of high-voltage overhead transmission lines 
Abstract:
 This article deals comprehensively with factors which influence attitudes
 to the placement of high-voltage overhead transmission lines (HVOTLs). It
 employs an analytical schema which links the initial stimulus of the power
 lines' proposal in an area to <italic>Background</italic> and
 <italic>Socio-economic</italic> independent variables and a set of
 mediating variables. From a survey of 600 residents in three different
 domiciliary settings in Queensland, Australia, results indicate an absence
 of positive attitudes and, at best, neutral ones to HVOTL placement. By
 multinomial logistic regression, the study probes the grounds behind
 negativity and extreme negativity, uncovering direct links between these
 attitudes and certain of the variables included in the analytical schema.

Title: Context-dependent evaluation of climate change policies: competing policies, knowledge and emotions 
Abstract:
 Climate change policies can compete with policies on other social and
 environmental problems for limited economic resources. This paper
 investigates the potential influence of alternative policies on
 citizens&#x2019; preferences for climate change policies. A contingent
 valuation study was implemented to estimate the impact of observable and
 unobservable contextual effects of competing polices on climate change
 valuation. Individuals are also investigated about their endowment of
 knowledge and emotional reactions to such problems. The results show that
 citizens&#x2019; valuation of climate change policies crucially depends on
 the context-dependent competing policies. The valuation rises as the
 number of competing policies increases. This increment becomes
 economically significant when the competing policies are related to
 specific problems such as forest fires and development. In addition, the
 valuation also rises with the amount of knowledge endowed by the
 individual about the climate change problem, and with the experience of
 negative emotions such as fear and sadness.

Title: Infrastructure development through PPPs in India: criteria for sustainability assessment 
Abstract:
 Public private partnerships (PPPs) allow the Indian Government to leverage
 private capital for meeting the widening demand-supply gap in the
 provision of infrastructure services. The private sector, however, prefers
 to limit the participation to financially attractive projects only,
 thereby resulting in patterns of infrastructure creation impeding the
 progress towards sustainable development. In order to promote sustainable
 development, the PPP procurement process should focus on incentivising the
 private sector for sustainable infrastructure development rather than
 concentrating on ensuring financial sustainability only. This paper
 discusses the principles-based PPP-specific framework that has been
 developed to facilitate assessment of PPP projects' progress towards
 sustainable development. The framework development was based on a holistic
 approach to sustainability assessment and subsequently validated through
 questionnaire survey with key stakeholders in the Indian PPP programme.
 This framework will provide the decision makers with appropriate decision
 aid for integration of sustainable development principles in the PPP
 procurement process.

Title: Green jobs for the disadvantaged: an analysis of government policies in British Columbia 
Abstract:
 This study explores the potential for societies to create more green jobs
 for the disadvantaged. The research questions are related to how policy
 instruments can support green jobs and how green jobs can support the
 disadvantaged. These questions are asked in the context of the province of
 British Columbia in Canada, with implications for the global economy.
 Findings indicate that green jobs policies have direct and indirect
 effects on the growth of sustainable industries at a municipal level.
 Furthermore, in BC policy, green jobs are unmistakably connected to the
 government perception of green growth. Finally, the preferred pathway for
 policy implementation appears to involve local municipalities that apply
 for funding for projects that can potentially connect local actors and
 include the disadvantaged. Several policies accomplish the inclusion of
 the disadvantaged. The first section of this paper provides the BC
 provincial context on green jobs. The second section describes and
 analyzes a sample of thirteen BC policy instruments, as well as concurrent
 labor market policy activities for their inclusion of the disadvantaged.
 The third section posits a provisional policy framework for training and
 hiring more inclusively for green jobs. The fourth section offers six
 recommendations to bolster green jobs for all at a national and
 international level.

Title: The use of best management practices to respond to externalities from developing shale gas resources 
Abstract:
 The public is concerned that activities accompanying hydraulic fracturing
 in the development of shale gas resources are unnecessarily adversely
 affecting them and the environment and is petitioning elected
 representatives to take actions to reduce risks. The health risks
 associated with fracturing chemicals and air pollutants are relatively
 unknown and constitute the impetus for public concern. An evaluation of
 state legal and regulatory provisions regarding best management practices
 discloses that states are not adopting timely regulations to protect
 people and the environment from activities accompanying hydraulic
 fracturing. Simultaneously, regulatory policy concerning negative
 externalities suggests that governments underinvest in the protection of
 human health and environmental quality. Governments have choices in
 protecting people from dangers that accompany shale gas development. Due
 to the risks of injuries and unpaid damages from shale gas development,
 governmental policies need to evolve to accord people greater health
 protection.

Title: Partnerships and governance at the environment--health nexus in Ontario: lessons from five case examples 
Abstract:
 The move towards partnerships and collaborative governance models has been
 advocated in global health discussions for many years now. A case example
 methodology was applied to this study. It was composed of a document
 review and semi-structured interviews with key informants from five
 environment and public health partnerships in the province of Ontario,
 Canada. These case examples highlight the merits and the challenges of
 diverse partnerships, and the importance of governance and leadership
 models, scaling up (and out) impact, and cross-cultural communications to
 these arrangements. Further work is required to articulate situations in
 which public health partnerships can be strengthened.

 660) and non-participants (<italic>n</italic> = 77) in the 2013 Python
 Challenge-super-TM to understand whether this event achieved its primary
 goal of raising awareness of the ecological impact of Burmese pythons
 (<italic>Python molurus bivittatus</italic>) in south Florida. Respondents
 indicated a high level of &#x2018;concern&#x2019; about the seriousness of
 the python problem and the need for management actions. Concern was
 affected positively by environmental motivations, experience of seeing
 pythons in the wild, older age, and female sex, but negatively by level of
 Python Challenge involvement. Results suggest that
 &#x2018;proximate&#x2019; experience of <italic>not</italic> seeing a
 python may reduce concern, whereas &#x2018;ongoing&#x2019; experience may
 temper concern without diminishing involvement. This research highlights
 the role of experience in shaping beliefs and advises diligence in public
 participation programs.

Title: Dutch new nature: (re)landscaping the Millingerwaard 
Abstract:
 This paper analyses how discourses of &#x201c;new nature&#x201d; have been
 implemented in the Dutch context -- as a front runner of broader
 &#x201c;rewilding&#x201d; processes throughout Europe -- frequently tied
 to imperatives of water safety. Drawing on the specific case of the
 Millingerwaard, we first examine how such discourses have materially, as
 well as socially, transformed the landscape in question. The paper then
 explores how these transformations have erstwhile affected those living in
 the area -- in ways that are perceived, positively or negatively --
 according to varied groups of residents and users. In doing so, we
 critically reflect not only on &#x201c;new nature&#x201d; as it has been
 conceived within planning processes, and empirically practiced, in the
 Netherlands, but also how it is described and experienced by those whose
 lives are intimately tied to the landscape.

Title: Application of environmental risk assessment for strategic decision-making in coastal areas: case studies in China 
Abstract:
 Environmental risk assessment (ERA) is a powerful technical tool for
 analyzing potential and extreme adverse environmental impacts, and has
 found wide application in supporting decision-making processes over the
 last two decades. However, to date there has been no interrelated
 application of ERA to support the processes of strategic decision-making
 (SDM), especially in coastal areas.In this paper, we attempt to verify the
 feasibility of the proposed integrated ERA--SDM approach and its
 methodology by applying it to two case studies (in Xiamen Bay and Luoyuan
 Bay) of the principal coastal functional zoning (PCFZ, a kind of SDM and
 similar to the coastal and marine spatial planning in western). The
 results show that the integrated ERA--SDM approach could integrate ERA
 into the entire SDM process, directly support the PCFZ, and avoid or
 mitigate dire environmental risk that can be introduced by SDM processes.

Title: Developing green infrastructure &#x2018;thinking&#x2019;: devising and applying an interactive group-based methodology for practitioners 
Abstract:
 Recent years have witnessed a wave of interest in the concept of green
 infrastructure (GI) as a means of applying an ecosystem approach to
 spatial planning practice; however, more limited attention has been paid
 to decision-making processes or tools to enhance GI within spatial plans
 and guidance. We address this deficit by reporting on the development and
 application of an interactive group-based methodology to enhance GI
 &#x2018;thinking&#x2019; and interdisciplinary collaboration, drawing on
 the literature on the sociology of interactions. Our findings suggest that
 a game-based approach to GI problem-solving was successful in breaking
 down professional barriers by creating an informal learning arena,
 providing an enabling opportunity for participants to solve problems in an
 iterative, non-linear style to develop principles for action with
 transferability to ongoing plan formation. This style of problem-solving
 was characterised by shifting norms and routines of interaction, leading
 to problem re-framing and a search for alternative solutions.

Title: A spatially explicit backcasting approach for sustainable land-use planning 
Abstract:
 General backcasting as a decision support and planning method starts from
 desired future states and simulates developments backwards until reaching
 the present state. Development pathways that reveal steps to be taken to
 reach a certain future state, and milestones that serve as interim goals,
 are created during the process. Backcasting has hitherto only been applied
 in workshops or as a theoretical framework and no spatially explicit
 backcasting model has previously been established. This paper presents the
 development of a spatially explicit backcasting model. The proposed model
 first creates a future scenario utilizing an agent-based model and then
 simulates backwards. It is implemented using the programming language
 Python. The model has been applied to a case study for sustainable
 land-use planning in Salzburg, Austria. The results of the model run show
 a successful backcasting of land-use classes from a future state back to
 the present, in 10 year time steps.

Title: Transport infrastructures, environment impacts and tourists' welfare: a choice experiment to elicit tourist preferences in Siena--Italy 
Abstract:
 Transport infrastructures have been investigated as drivers of tourist
 demand. Specific attention has been devoted to air transport
 infrastructure and services. However, the literature on this issue is
 scanty. Moreover, few studies focus on ex-ante valuation of tourists'
 preferences for mobility systems. This study contributes to this
 literature by presenting a case study on the re-organization of the
 mobility system to access the city of Siena, Italy. A choice experiment is
 carried out to elicit tourists' preferences for distance, time, cost,
 travel mode, along with the environmental impact of infrastructure. The
 latter factor turns out to be particularly relevant in explaining
 tourists' choices and welfare. Furthermore, the results appear to be
 robust and not significantly dependent on design settings (specifically
 the number of alternatives). While these results only refer to a single
 case study, they seem to suggest that new transportation facilities do not
 necessarily cause an increase in tourism flows.

Title: Multi-criteria forest road network planning in fire-prone environment: a case study in Serbia 
Abstract:
 This paper presents a multi-criteria selection of the best forest road
 network with the aim of achieving effective preventive and timely
 repressive protection against forest fires. The research was carried out
 in national park (NP) &#x201c;Tara&#x201d; at a site which is under
 constant threat of fire. Four variants of the forest road network were
 designed and analyzed against seven criteria, and the best variant was
 selected using entropy weight coefficients (EWC) method. The importance of
 these seven criteria was studied by the management of the NP
 &#x201c;Tara.&#x201d; The greatest importance was given to the criteria
 relating to the cost of construction and maintenance of permanent and
 temporary roads (47% of the total value of all criteria). The EWC method
 did not select the variant based on the lowest costs of construction and
 maintenance as the best option, but the variant whose location was the
 most suitable for effective defense against forest fires.

Title: Getting caught up in the game: managing non-formal dynamics in the remediation of contaminated sediments in Oslo harbor 
Abstract:
 This study aims at describing, analyzing and evaluating the relation
 between management styles and process dynamics of a complex planning
 process confronted with unexpected dynamics. The development of an aquatic
 disposal site for dredged contaminated sediments in Oslo was managed by a
 project management style focused on timely and cost-effective
 implementation. Coupling the remediation project with another
 infrastructural project and the actual construction of the site led to
 unexpected dynamics in terms of resistance and controversy. Project
 management had difficulties in adjusting its style accordingly, resulting
 in even more delay and resistance. Managing complex planning projects
 requires a style suitable to the characteristics of the project and the
 capability of adjusting it to changing circumstances. The paper concludes
 with some explanations why it is difficult to change management styles in
 complex planning and implementation processes and complexity-embracing
 approaches to deal with this.

Title: Carbon emission reduction and cost--benefit of methane digester systems on hog farms in China 
Abstract:
 Three different sizes of hog farms were selected to analyze the carbon
 emissions reduction and the cost--benefit of three methane digester
 systems. The sizes of the digesters are 2,200, 2,200 and 800 m-super-3,
 respectively. The sales of slaughter hogs from them are 50,000, 35,000 and
 10,000 head, respectively. The carbon emissions reductions were 5,237,
 4,017, and 1,334 tons, respectively. The results show that while the
 methane digester systems have a significant effect on carbon emissions
 reduction, it is difficult to operate the systems sustainably. If the
 carbon emissions reduction can be traded at high enough prices in the
 carbon offset markets, then the systems will be profitable and
 sustainable. Newly established China's domestic carbon offset market could
 provide this possibility, but more government support is needed. In
 addition, this study shows that scale economies make the digester adoption
 relatively more profitable for larger farms than smaller ones.

Title: Measuring the linkage between strategies on sustainability and institutional forces: an empirical study of Spanish universities 
Abstract:
 Policy documents are commonly identified as key outcomes that guide
 initiatives directed by senior university leaders towards sustainability
 through plans and policies. Many studies have called for a more
 integration of sustainability into universities. Nevertheless, the
 interest in sustainability issues has been more recent in the specific
 case of Spain. This study analyses the strategic plans developed by
 Spanish universities in the last decade with two different aims: first, we
 examine the extent to which Spanish universities are incorporating
 strategies on sustainability. The second goal evaluates whether the
 presence of strategies on sustainability in Spanish universities could be
 associated with coercive and mimetic pressures. Findings indicate the low
 presence of strategies on sustainability in Spanish universities.
 Moreover, the results seem to suggest that the presence of strategies on
 sustainability in Spanish universities could be linked with coercive and
 mimetic pressures emanating from the State performance funding for
 universities. The results indicate that universities usually incorporate
 practices and strategies on sustainability as a response of the pressure
 exerted by institutional forces, such as the funding systems of higher
 education institutions.

Title: Exploring the determinants for adopting water conservation measures. What is the tendency of landowners when the resource is already at risk? 
Abstract:
 In Finland, the current water conservation policy sets equal incentives
 for water conservation, regardless of the environmental condition. Before
 any policy reform, it is vital to investigate the tendency of landowners
 to adopt water conservation measures. In this study, we were interested in
 examining adoption if the soil quality implies a high leaching risk and if
 the water quality is already poor. By combining survey data with GIS data,
 we analysed the effect of farm and farmer characteristics and attitudes
 towards adoption. Our probit models indicated that financial variables
 were the key determinants of adoption for active farmers, whereas for
 passive owners, adoption was also explained by attitudes. In contrast to
 our expectations, adoption in areas under risk was weakly supported by our
 estimates. Environmental awareness, providing it increases with risk, is
 not strong enough to motivate adoption. Targeted agri-environmental
 measures, even though costly, cannot be avoided, and spatially tailored
 measures can attract adopters in hotspot areas.

Title: Farmers' willingness to participate in best management practices in Kentucky 
Abstract:
 This paper investigates farmers' willingness to participate in Best
 Management Practices (BMPs) through a proposed Water quality trading (WQT)
 program in Kentucky. This analysis includes two parts: the first part is
 to investigate the factors influencing farmers' current usage of BMPs; the
 second part is to estimate farmers' willingness to implement BMPs given
 different levels of compensation given in a survey. The results show that
 farmers who participate in the conservation programs are more likely to
 use BMPs, but these farmers may not accept the offer to implement
 additional BMPs. Farmers' experiences about BMPs are more likely to
 persuade them to adopt additional BMPs than the level of compensation. The
 results find that using riparian buffers, fencing off animals and building
 up waste storage facilities are responsive to the levels of compensation
 offered.

Title: Cost allocation of river water quality management based on the Separable Cost Remaining Benefit (SCRB) method 
Abstract:
 This paper presents a cost allocation method that applies the cooperative
 game theory and the Separable Costs Remaining Benefit method to a project
 that involves two local governments in water quality management in South
 Korea. The total project cost was estimated by using a parametric
 estimation method for reduction loads in accordance with the Total
 Pollution Load Management system. As a result, the cost allocation ratios
 between the City of Gwangju and Jeonnam Province are suggested to be
 69.85% and 30.15% of the total project cost. The final cost allocation
 confirms the benefits to both governments and illustrates the cooperative
 game theory.

Title: Responding to a policy mandate to collaborate: structuring collaboration in the collaborative forest landscape restoration program 
Abstract:
 The Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) aims to
 expand the pace and scale of forest restoration on national forests in the
 United States. The program requires candidate projects to develop
 landscape-scale forest restoration proposals through a collaborative
 process and continue to collaborate throughout planning, implementation,
 and monitoring. Our comparative case analysis of the initial selected
 projects examines how existing collaborative groups draw on past
 experience of collaboration and the requirements of a new mandate to shape
 collaborative structures as they undertake CFLRP work. While mandating
 collaboration appears contrary to what is often defined as an informal and
 emergent process, mandates can encourage stakeholder engagement and renew
 commitment to overcome past conflict. Our findings also suggest that a
 collaborative mandate can lead to increased attention and scrutiny,
 prompting adjustments to collaborative process and structure. As such,
 mandating collaboration creates dynamic tensions between past experience
 and new requirements for collaborative practice.

Title: Evaluating Internet-based public participation GIS (PPGIS) and volunteered geographic information (VGI) in environmental planning and management 
Abstract:
 An Internet-based public participation geographic information system
 (PPGIS) is an affordable and accessible tool for citizens to provide
 location-based volunteered geographic information (VGI) in environmental
 planning and management. Based on a conceptual model, this study uses the
 SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis methodology
 to qualitatively evaluate user, information, and site use of six cases
 with Internet-based PPGIS. This study reviews each case's website to
 collect descriptive data for the case analysis. The results of this study
 show that user numbers do not have a significantly strong relationship
 with data submission numbers, since active users had the highest number of
 contributions. The most urgent task of using Internet-based PPGIS to
 attract citizen scientists is to invite and retain long-term and active
 contributors, and to change interested users into long-term active
 contributors.

Title: Applying the concept of State of Good Repair to the management of ecological infrastructure 
Abstract:
 At any time, the condition of ecological infrastructure is related to the
 availability of funds to support operational management programmes.
 Environmental management outcomes are therefore often coupled to general
 economic conditions. When general economic conditions are favourable,
 investment in environmental management is often greater. This implies that
 environmental management frameworks need to be able to cope with the
 waxing and waning of economic conditions while still delivering acceptable
 environmental management and service delivery outcomes. At the onset of
 budget cuts, environmental managers therefore need effective ways of
 assessing the near and far future trade-offs of curtailing particular
 programmes in a defensible and internally consistent manner.Operators of
 large civil infrastructure assets face the same problem. In response, the
 asset management community has developed the State of Good Repair
 approach. The objective of the preliminary consideration presented here
 was to determine whether this engineering management approach has any
 merit in environmental management.

Title: Understanding and encouraging greater nature engagement in Australia: results from a national survey 
Abstract:
 Interaction with nature has a range of significant health, ecological and
 economic benefits and a number of governments are implementing policies to
 increase humans&#x2019; engagement with nature. Using a large nationally
 representative survey sample in Australia, this study provides a detailed
 comment on the feasibility of such a policy, as well as contributing to an
 understanding of the characteristics of individuals who engaged in one or
 more of five dimensions of nature interaction, namely: nature engagement;
 conservation participation; nature advocacy; environmentally friendly
 purchasing and future engagement with nature conservation. The results
 indicate that age, income, education, marital status and household
 structure are all important influences on various types of nature
 engagement. It is suggested that increasing opportunities for young people
 to interact with nature is important, as well as supporting older people's
 involvement in conservation, plus focusing on the need to target and
 direct various policies.

Title: Adapting a holistic approach to flood management in the Hawkesbury--Nepean region: complexities and perceptions of the agencies involved 
Abstract:
 This paper looks into the complexity of managing flood risks in the
 Hawkesbury--Nepean catchment, Australia. Several aspects are explored: (1)
 the complexities created by the way different agencies are involved in
 assessing flood risks; (2) different perceptions on acceptable flood risk
 level; (3) community engagement in defining acceptable flood risk level;
 (4) views on a holistic flood risk management plan; and (5) challenges of
 a centralised information system. This study concludes that the complexity
 of managing a large catchment is exacerbated by the difference in the way
 professionals perceive the problem. This has led to (1) different
 standards for acceptable risks; (2) inconsistent attempt to set up a
 regional-scale flood management plan beyond the jurisdictional boundaries;
 (3) absence of a regional-scale agency with licence to share and update
 information; and (d) lack of forums for dialogue with insurance companies
 to ensure an integrated approach to flood management.

Title: Enhancing environmental integration in strategic environmental assessment (SEA): insight from sensitivity analysis 
Abstract:
 This paper explores the potential of sensitivity analysis to improve the
 Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process and enhance environmental
 integration. It applies the Sensitivity Model Prof. Vester&#xae; to the
 England SEA process, following two objectives: (1) establishing how
 different strategic environmental assessment (SEA) elements affect
 environmental integration; and (2) establishing the sensitivity of the SEA
 process in terms of response to change. The findings showed that no single
 element was critical to enhancing environmental integration. Several
 elements, acting as sources of uncertainty, leverage or stability in the
 process, were also identified, highlighting their potential as priority
 targets for process improvement. It is concluded that sensitivity analysis
 can supplement current expert-led approaches to SEA improvement by (1)
 identifying elements likely to influence environmental integration and (2)
 testing the likely performance of recommendations for process improvement.

Title: Sensitive issues in natural resource management and discursive strategies addressing them 
Abstract:
 In natural resource management facilitation literature, little attention
 is paid to sensitive issues in multi-stakeholder interaction and learning.
 This article aims to fill this gap. It discusses the variety of discursive
 strategies used by stakeholders to address sensitive issues with regard to
 fishery management in Benin, in three different settings: individual
 interviews, homogeneous groups' discussions, and a heterogeneous group
 meeting. Issues that proved sensitive were discussed openly in the
 interviews or homogeneous groups' discussions, but not at all, or only
 indirectly, in the heterogeneous group meeting. With indirect discursive
 strategies, two out of the seven sensitive issues were put on the
 discussions' agenda. We conclude that the other issues were too sensitive
 among others because of historically grown interdependency between
 interventionists and fishers. We suggest that dealing with sensitive
 issues is an important dimension of the facilitation of interactive
 learning processes and provide methodological guidelines to detect and
 address such issues.

Title: Management of mountain areas in Norway and the persistence of local--national conflicts 
Abstract:
 We have investigated why conflicts linked to the distribution of power
 between governments and actors at the national and local levels concerning
 environmental management of mountain areas in Norway persist despite
 political intentions to strengthen local powers. We seek to explain this
 by analysing changes in policies, institutional frameworks, and regional
 contexts, and the local perceptions of these changes. Paradoxically, the
 national government's power has apparently been strengthened by new
 sectoral regulations and more stringent enforcement of the existing ones,
 increases in the number and extent of protected areas, and failures to act
 on intentions to devolve power. An additional factor spurring conflicts is
 the increased importance of tourism to mountain communities. To become
 more relevant to policies and development in mountain areas, future
 studies on multilevel governance must address multilevel politics, entire
 mountain areas, and the context of their development, rather than focusing
 on minor projects and protected areas.

Title: An assessment of public engagement for access management planning in southwestern Alberta, Canada 
Abstract:
 This paper describes efforts to bridge the gap between the existing
 research and proposed recreation access management for public lands in
 southwestern Alberta, Canada. Recreation access management has been
 identified as a complex problem and public consultation is one element in
 addressing the complexity. An Internet-based survey (<italic>n</italic> =
 945) examined the acceptability and desirability of public consultation
 processes to assist with access management planning. Non-parametric tests
 indicate significant differences in desirability of public consultation
 types existed for all variables except gender. Respondents expressed the
 desire for a diversity of public consultation approaches with a strong
 preference for face-to-face field visits. Mechanisms for engagement in
 access management planning should be based on public consultation
 preferences to ensure broad, on going engagement and subsequent user
 acceptance and compliance.

Title: Applying the Kuhn--Tucker model to estimate the value of recreational ecosystem services in Sicily 
Abstract:
 This paper applies the Kuhn--Tucker model to estimate recreation demand of
 parks in Sicily. We estimate a fixed coefficient specification and a
 random coefficient specification to take into account heterogeneity across
 visitors. Estimates suggest a diversity of preferences across the
 population and that parks with higher level of quality attributes are more
 likely to be visited. We also simulate two sets of hypothetical policy
 scenarios to evaluate and compare the recreational value of each park and
 the welfare impacts of changes in a quality attribute.

Title: Soil erosion vulnerability under scenarios of climate land-use changes after the development of a large reservoir in a semi-arid area 
Abstract:
 Climate and land-use/cover changes (LUCC) influence soil erosion
 vulnerability in the semi-arid region of Alqueva, threatening the
 reservoir storage capacity and sustainability of the landscape.
 Considering the effect of these changes in the future, the purpose of this
 study was to investigate soil erosion scenarios using the Revised
 Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model. A multi-agent system combining
 Markov cellular automata with multi-criteria evaluation was used to
 investigate LUCC scenarios according to delineated regional strategies.
 Forecasting scenarios indicated that the intensive agricultural area as
 well as the sparse and xerophytic vegetation and rainfall-runoff erosivity
 would increase, consequently causing the soil erosion to rise from 1.78 Mg
 ha-super-&#x2212;1 to 3.65 Mg ha-super-&#x2212;1 by 2100. A backcasting
 scenario was investigated by considering the application of soil
 conservation practices that would decrease the soil erosion considerably
 to an average of 2.27 Mg ha-super-&#x2212;1. A decision support system can
 assist stakeholders in defining restrictive practices and developing
 conservation plans, contributing to control the reservoir's siltation.

Title: Community perspectives on managing health of peri-urban river system: evidence from the Hawkesbury-Nepean river catchment, Australia 
Abstract:
 In this study, we examine aspects of community values and perspectives on
 goods and services received from the river along with issues related to
 sustainable management of the river. The study reveals that the
 contemporary values placed on rivers by communities are mostly associated
 with recreational and leisure activities. The distance from the river and
 age of the participants appeared as the most influential social
 demographic factors affecting participants' perspectives on river health.
 The study indicates that people tend to develop a strong bond with the
 natural resources around them and the amount of time spent at a location
 is directly related to the strength of this relationship. To assess the
 general river condition and health, a number of visual indicators (e.g.,
 floating debris) were suggested. If properly standardised and calibrated,
 such indicators have the potential to develop cost-effective monitoring
 tools for detecting seasonal and spatial changes in river health.

Title: On causes of illegal waste dumping in Slovakia 
Abstract:
 This paper examines the determinants of illegal waste dumping at the
 county level in Slovakia (in 77 of 79 counties), using a truncated
 regression model. It analyzes a unique data-set composed of illegal
 dumping data provided by the TrashOut platform and sociodemographic data
 from the national statistical authority.This study shows that a higher
 level of expected overall waste production results in a higher rate of
 illegally dumped waste and a higher number of illegal dumping sites. More
 precisely, income has a positive impact on the rate of illegal waste
 dumping, poverty influences the rate of illegal dumping negatively and a
 higher level of education does not result in more responsible waste
 management. On the contrary, higher education has a positive influence on
 the rate of dumping. A negative relationship between costs of illegal
 waste disposal and dumping rate, as well as a positive relationship
 between costs of legal waste disposal and dumping rate has been revealed.

Title: Spatial planning and changing landscapes: a failure of policy in peri-urban Victoria, Australia 
Abstract:
 Building on the scientific literature, this article first summarises the
 socio-environmental impacts of land-use change expected to occur in high
 amenity Australian peri-urban areas, involving in particular, the effects
 of land development on agriculture, biodiversity, landscape character,
 bushfire risk and social factors. Second, the current spatial planning
 framework and its distribution in seven municipalities in Victoria,
 Australia, is critically analysed, and records of approved planning
 permits are related to this framework to assess the challenges posed by
 peri-urban growth. We argue that the current planning framework supports a
 static approach which does not address foreseen challenges and lacks
 strategic power. Both the strategic framework and the development approval
 process lead to unanticipated, cumulative impacts and contestation. A more
 coordinated, less urban-centric approach to planning and the introduction
 of rural land-use plans would substantially address some of the issues
 encountered.

Title: Investigating supportive conditions for participation in voluntary environmental programs 
Abstract:
 <italic>Voluntary environmental programs</italic> (VEPs) are commonly
 construed as contracts between industry and government that encourage
 businesses to voluntarily mitigate their environmental impacts beyond
 legal requirements. This research explores conditions under which
 polluting firms are likely to participate in VEPs. We analyze 34
 comparable VEPs whose shared goal is to reduce greenhouse gases emissions,
 with focus on the alleged influences of three factors drawn from existing
 scholarship: government supervision; economic instruments; and public
 disclosure of participants' environmental records. The statistical results
 show a greater effect from government supervision than complete
 voluntarism and the positive effect of financial subsidies on firms'
 participation in VEPs. Although recent debates over regulatory reform have
 been oriented towards vesting greater discretion in regulatees to better
 address environmental harms, the findings imply that even in a highly
 privatized form of regulation, government oversight and assistance are
 necessary for promoting this new mode of environmental regulation.

 Public perceptions about water quantity and water as a common pool
 resource are understudied in humid regions. As water demand increases, the
 need to more closely manage water, even in humid areas, will increase,
 requiring better understanding how people perceive their water supply, how
 they view paying for water conservation and how water user characteristics
 influence attitudes. A survey finds correlations between utilizing an
 individual water source (e.g. well or spring) and attitudes toward water
 management and conservation. Compared to respondents with a shared water
 source, those with an individual source believe they are segregated from
 regional water concerns. They are less willing to pay for water management
 or conservation measures and less supportive of any government
 intervention in water management. These results suggest that planners and
 water managers may face resistance to conservation policies or any policy
 based on the idea of water as a common pool resource.

Title: Objectively best or most acceptable? Expert and lay knowledge in Swedish wind power permit processes 
Abstract:
 This article analyses legal aspects of the Swedish wind power development,
 theoretically based on how different types of knowledge are represented in
 legal contexts, mainly in the courts. A sample of appealed wind power
 permits is analysed, a handful of relevant informants are interviewed --
 including two judges in the Land and Environment Court and the appeal
 court -- and the legal setting is analysed. Of key interest here is the
 interplay between expert and lay statements in the court cases, which here
 is related to the concepts of calculating and communicative rationalities
 that are developed in the planning literature. The results indicate that
 the juridification -- which takes place as a permit issue is appealed in
 the judiciary system -- supports the calculating rationality more than the
 communicative, and that the plaintiffs often attempt to adapt in how they
 shape their argumentation.

Title: Are national biodiversity strategies and action plans appropriate for building responsibilities for mainstreaming biodiversity across policy sectors? The case of Finland 
Abstract:
 The Convention on Biological Diversity's national biodiversity strategies
 and action plans (NBSAPs) are major mechanisms for mainstreaming
 biodiversity into national policies. This article examines whether and how
 the NBSAPs contribute to mainstreaming biodiversity across policy sectors
 in Finland in order to halt biodiversity loss. We have developed an
 innovative analytical framework where the concept of responsibility
 addresses how motivations for mainstreaming can be built, and the concept
 of social learning outcomes addresses the extent of institutional changes
 for biodiversity. The Finnish NBSAP processes have been able to build
 diverse forms of responsibility (liability, accountability, responsiveness
 and care) in different policy sectors by providing new knowledge, careful
 process design and developing institutional linkages. Despite
 pro-biodiversity outcomes in the targeted policy sectors, the
 responsibilities do not diffuse from the environmental administration to
 other policy sectors to a sufficient extent. Closing this
 &#x2018;responsibility gap&#x2019; is a key challenge for building
 effective environmental policies.

Title: Integrating flood hazard into site selection of detention basins using spatial multi-criteria decision-making 
Abstract:
 This study presents an innovative approach for the integration of flood
 hazard into the site selection of detention basins. The site selection
 process is conducted by taking into account multiple criteria and
 disciplines. Hydraulic modeling results derived from stormwater management
 model are employed by Technique for the Order of Prioritization by
 Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to determine flood hazard score. The
 score generated by TOPSIS is used in a spatial multi-criteria
 decision-making site selection framework. Applying the framework, a
 suitability map is generated in which primary locations for detention
 basin placement are determined. The method is demonstrated through the
 case study of Darakeh River Catchment, which is located in northern
 Tehran, Iran. The presented framework can be easily utilized for site
 selection of other stormwater management techniques, such as low impact
 development and best management practices, due to its versatility.

Title: Tradable planning permits versus auctioned tradable development rights: different trading agents, different policy outcomes 
Abstract:
 The tradable planning permit (TPP) policy seeks to limit the land take by
 development. It can be used in countries where development rights are
 vested by land-use planning to certain landowners only. TPPs are traded
 among public authorities. We introduce here a new policy, called the
 auctioned tradable development rights (ATDR) policy, which takes advantage
 of unvested rights of development and of trading among private actors. We
 compare the TPP, the ATDR policy and our baseline land-use planning model
 using a set of criteria. There are trade-offs within compared models. Both
 trading policies extend opportunities for land protection from development
 in exchange for higher transaction costs (highest in the ATDR policy).
 Trading policies seek also to recapture a part of development rent,
 decrease rent-seeking, and locate new development more effectively from
 the investors' perspective. However, trading among public authorities in
 the TPP model may hinder attaining these effects.

Title: Multiple pollutant discharge permit markets, a challenge for wastewater treatment plants 
Abstract:
 This study focuses on the challenge of using a multiple pollutant
 transferable discharge permit market for operating wastewater treatment
 plants. It uses an analytical case of Sefidrud River in Iran with two
 checkpoints. It shows that the operating limitations for simultaneous
 biochemical oxidation demand (BOD) and total nitrogen (TN) removal may
 convert the economically optimal waste load allocation (WLA) to a
 framework with lack of incentives. Therefore, water quality trading (WQT)
 may lose its economical advantages. In this case, a third parameter, such
 as dissolved oxygen is recommended as an index for assigning market
 interactions. In spite of economical and practical success, this approach
 made WLA become a more complicated and uncertain policy. It was totally
 concluded that using single parameter WQT is only recommended for areas
 with small agricultural activities or lakes. Otherwise, the integrated
 discharged permit and reclaimed water market is proposed instead for
 simultaneous BOD and TN management.

Title: Quantification of present and past biomass productivity as a support to effective biomass management 
Abstract:
 We used statistical data including specific calculations to show how the
 productivity of different biomass categories varies with land use,
 environmental conditions and land management at national and local level
 in Slovakia. Three different study sites were selected. Averaged annual
 productivity of the total biomass from one hectare ranged from 5.96 to
 12.03 t on arable land, from 4.02 to 15.20 t on grasslands and from 11.72
 to 13.56 t on forest land. Although the biomass productivity varied among
 the various biomass categories and the study sites, the average annual
 values of the total biomass per hectare from productive land was about the
 same at all three study sites (11.62, 11.68, 11.78 t/ha). Detailed
 quantification of different biomass categories offered a variety of
 possibilities to use them for further applications in economy and
 ecosystem services. At the national level, the unused biomass could have
 produced 29.8 PJ (petajoule) of heat energy.

Title: Using discrete choice experiments to value preferences for air quality improvement: the case of curbing haze in urban China 
Abstract:
 China's top legislature amended a law that &#x201c;sets environmental
 protection as the country's basic policy&#x201d;, which planned to force
 regulators to make improvements in air quality. Limited studies have
 attempted to estimate separate values for attributes of air quality
 improvements from the perspective of how residents value the reduction of
 haze and health benefits. We apply a discrete choice experiment to
 estimate the economic benefits involved in these changes. The analysis
 demonstrates that residents from urban areas are positively willing to pay
 for air quality improvement. We further employ a mixed logit model and a
 latent class model to investigate potential heterogeneity in preferences.
 The preference heterogeneity is significantly related to individuals'
 exposure to health risks relating to air quality, which is represented by
 whether the residence location of the respondent is covered by haze/smog
 on the interview day.

Title: &#x201c;They give you lots of information, but ignore what it's really about&#x201d;: residents' experiences with the planned introduction of a new high-voltage power line 
Abstract:
 Cases of strong local opposition to the planned introduction of new
 high-voltage power lines (HVPLs) have been documented in the past. During
 and after the planning process for a new HVPL, local residents will be
 informed about the siting process and its outcomes. Although it has been
 suggested in the literature that this communication plays an important
 role in residents' responses to a new HVPL, it has been rarely empirically
 studied. In this qualitative study, we conducted in-depth interviews with
 15 residents about their experiences with the planned introduction of a
 new HVPL near their homes. Thematic analysis revealed that residents'
 experiences were centred around negative expectations of living near the
 new HVPL and perceived injustice of the planning process and its outcomes.
 Residents' perception that communication was not tailored to their
 information needs played a significant role in these negative experiences.
 Suggestions for improving communication will be discussed.

Title: Assessing local planning capacity to promote environmentally sustainable residential development 
Abstract:
 Smart growth and sustainability planning have, in recent years, become
 central issues in planning discourse. Scholars have argued that planning
 capacity at the local government level is critical for smart growth
 planning, and that planners have a fundamental role to play in advancing
 local and regional sustainability. In this paper, we investigate the
 extent to which local planning capacity enables communities to promote
 more sustainable, smart growth residential development. Based on a 2013
 survey of 38 county and 53 municipal governments in the state of
 Wisconsin, USA, this study finds that the majority of the sample
 communities have permitted residential developments characterized as
 transit-oriented, New Urbanist, mixed use, infill developments, or
 conservation subdivisions as alternatives to low-density,
 automobile-dependent conventional developments. The study also finds that
 jurisdictions with higher planning capacities are more likely to overcome
 significant barriers to more sustainable residential development.

Title: Patterns of selectiveness in the Amazonian freshwater fisheries: implications for management 
Abstract:
 Tropical fisheries, which are considered multi-species, may show
 selectiveness. We analyzed the degree of selectivity of fish catches in 46
 sites along the Amazon basin through the percentage of biomass
 corresponding to the most caught fish species. Amazonian fisheries were
 considered moderately selective, as 54% of the sites directed more than a
 quarter of fishing effort to one fish species and in 87% of the sites more
 than half the fishing effort was directed to five fish species. Commercial
 fisheries were more selective than subsistence fisheries. Eleven fish
 species (nine of them migratory) have received more fishing pressure in
 the studied Amazonian regions and the catch composition differed among
 regions. We thus recommend that fisheries management in the Amazon basin
 should distribute fishing effort among more fish species; incorporate the
 particularities of commercial and subsistence fisheries; evaluate fishing
 effects on ecosystem services; and consider the biological characteristics
 of preferred fish.

Title: Cost-effectiveness of tillage methods to reduce phosphorus loss from agricultural land 
Abstract:
 In this paper, we estimate the cost-effectiveness of tillage methods as a
 measure to reduce phosphorus loss. The study was based on real-world
 information on costs. Data on phosphorus loss for different soil tillage
 methods were modelled. The cost-effectiveness of various soil tillage
 methods were related to autumn ploughing. The results showed large
 variation in cost-effectiveness related to erosion risk. Furthermore,
 spring harrowing was the most cost-effective method to reduce phosphorus
 loss, followed by autumn harrowing and spring ploughing in spring cereals.
 Implementation of changed tillage methods showed lower costs for spring
 cereals compared to winter wheat. The differences in costs between areas
 were most evident for spring tillage due to differences in yields and
 agronomic management. Cost-effectiveness is an important criterion in
 selecting mitigation methods, but due to large variations in the effect of
 changed tillage, these should be locally adapted to the high risk areas of
 erosion.

Title: Integrated action planning for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of highland aquatic resources: evaluating outcomes for the Beijiang River, China 
Abstract:
 The need for enhanced environmental planning and management for highland
 aquatic resources is described and a rationale for integrated action
 planning is presented. Past action planning initiatives for biodiversity
 conservation and wetland management are reviewed. A reflective account is
 given of integrated action planning from five sites in China, India and
 Vietnam. Eight planning phases are described encompassing: stakeholder
 assessment and partner selection; rapport building and agreement on
 collaboration; integrated biodiversity, ecosystem services, livelihoods
 and policy assessment; problem analysis and target setting; strategic
 planning; planning and organisation of activities; coordinated
 implementation and monitoring; evaluation and revised target setting. The
 scope and targeting of actions are evaluated using the Driving forces,
 Pressures, State, Impacts and Responses framework and compatibility with
 biodiversity conservation and socio-economic development objectives are
 assessed. Criteria to evaluate the quality of planning processes are
 proposed. Principles for integrated action planning elaborated here should
 enable stakeholders to formulate plans to reconcile biodiversity
 conservation with the wise use of wetlands.

Title: Opponents, waverers or supporters: the influence of place-attachment dimensions on local residents' acceptance of a planned biosphere reserve in Austria 
Abstract:
 A supportive attitude of residents towards protected areas is crucial for
 successful implementation and management, particularly in densely
 populated regions such as Central Europe. While previous studies have
 revealed that emotional and cultural drivers, as well as information level
 and group membership, can influence attitudes towards protected areas, the
 effect of place-attachment dimensions remains unclear. A postal survey
 among local residents <italic>(N</italic> = 460) explored factors
 influencing attitudes towards the Lungau (-Nockberge) Biosphere Reserve in
 Austria before its official recognition. Results indicated societal
 support throughout all socio-demographic strata. A logistic regression
 showed that, besides socio-demographics and information level, place
 attachment had a significant influence on the acceptance of the biosphere
 reserve. Supporters and opponents showed both high place identity and
 dependence, while waverers scored low on these dimensions. Results
 indicate that place attachment is relevant for the design of participatory
 processes as well as for developing management policies for biosphere
 reserves.

Title: Assessment of National Parks affected by naturbanization processes in Southern Europe 
Abstract:
 This paper assesses land-use changes related to naturbanization processes
 on three biosphere reserves in Southern Europe. A comparative analysis has
 been done on the National Parks in Peneda-Ger&#xea;s in North Portugal,
 C&#xe9;vennes in South France and Sierra Nevada in South Spain, using
 Corine Land Cover data from 1990 until 2006. Results indicate that the
 process of land-use intensification is taking place in the frame of
 naturbanization dynamics that could jeopardize the role of Protected
 Areas. Focusing on the trends faced by National Parks and their
 surrounding territories, the analysis demonstrates, both in quantitative
 and spatial terms, the intensification processes of land-use changes and
 how it is important to know them for coping with increasing threats. The
 article concludes that in the current context of increasing stresses, a
 broader focus on nature protection, encompassing the wider countryside, is
 needed if the initiatives for biodiversity protection are to be effective.

Title: Economic, social and environmental dimension of sustainable competitiveness of European countries 
Abstract:
 Over the last decade, promotion of competitiveness represents one of the
 central goals of economic policy of most of the countries. Moreover, in
 recent years, the promotion of competitiveness has been seen as a way of
 achieving desirable changes in economy and society. While there is no
 unity of views in the theory regarding the conceptual definition of the
 phenomenon of competitiveness, it is becoming less arguable that in
 strictly economic terms, competitiveness is a synonym for productivity.
 However, it should be noted that productivity growth that is accompanied
 by increasing social imbalance (for example, inequality in income
 distribution), on the one hand, and environmental pollution, on the other
 hand, cannot be a guarantee of improving the competitiveness of countries
 in the long run. Acknowledging precisely this fact and using the data from
 World Economic Forum on Global Competitiveness 2013, this paper elaborates
 on the phenomenon of sustainable competitiveness and tests the hypothesis
 about the positive impact of its social and environmental dimension on the
 economic dimension of sustainable competitiveness that is represented by
 the value of the Global Competitiveness Index. The survey of 34 countries
 confirmed the indisputable positive impact of the social dimension of
 sustainability, but also variable direction of the impact of the
 environmental dimension of sustainability (depending on the level of GDP
 per capita) on the economic dimension of sustainable competitiveness of
 European countries in 2013.

Title: Government response to climate change in China: a study of provincial and municipal plans 
Abstract:
 In this paper, we provide an overview of local and regional climate change
 plans in China by scrutinizing planning documents from 16 cities, four
 autonomous regions, and 22 provinces. We develop and apply an evaluation
 protocol to understand goals, process, and strategies in these plans. We
 also conduct interviews with government officials to provide a context for
 subnational climate change planning. The results indicate that current
 climate change planning in China is characterized by the
 &#x2018;top-down&#x2019; approach, in which the central governmental
 incentives play a vital role in shaping provincial and municipal plans. In
 addition, most plans have the following issues: vague definition of what
 characterizes a low-carbon city/region; deficiency in the quality of
 greenhouse gas inventory and reduction targets; insufficient strategies
 provided to respond to climate change; inadequate stakeholder engagement;
 and weak horizontal coordination. Finally, we offer recommendations to
 improve climate change planning in China.

Title: Valuing environmental damage remediation and liability using value estimates for ecosystem services 
Abstract:
 The European Environmental Liability Directive aims to ensure that damaged
 habitats are restored where possible, but allows for complementary
 remediation with replacement habitat where restoration is not possible
 within a reasonable time. It also allows for compensatory remediation of
 the resource based on an assessment of environmental values in cases where
 there are interim social losses. This paper concurs with the argument that
 physical remediation without consideration of social values can fail to be
 equivalent to the resource that has been lost. Using, as a case study, a
 river in Ireland, it demonstrates that estimating social value can be
 challenging in practice, noting also differences between the value of
 environmental gains and losses. The paper argues that estimates of final
 ecosystem service values, including wastewater treatment costs, can
 provide a measure of social value and makes a case for the systematic
 collection of these data to inform decision-making.

Title: Coastal climate adaptation in port-cities: adaptation deficits, barriers, and challenges ahead
Abstract: 
 Port cities are on the frontline of emerging coastal risks related to climate change, sea-level rise, and human impacts on coastal zones. This article addresses the need for adaptation in port cities. It reviews key meanings of coastal climate adaptation, and its inherent complexity and uncertainties. It then provides an overview of the current status of coastal climate adaptation, discusses ‘adaptation deficits’ in port cities, and describes barriers to adaptation. Subsequently, it highlights the need for adaptive (coastal) planning and management in the face of changing and uncertain future conditions. Finally, it points out research needs and challenges regarding adaptation in port cities, namely the need for localized risk assessments, the need to reduce adaptation deficits, the need to mainstream adaptation into spatial planning, the need for advanced studies on adaptation measures, the need for integrated efforts, the need for adaptive planning approaches for dealing with changing risks over time, under uncertainty in highly dynamic environments.

Title: Framing fragmentation in strategic policy documents in spatial planning and environmental domains: differences and similarities
Abstract: 
 Fragmentation is a complex issue and the way it is framed will impact on policy decisions. The Czech Republic has adopted several strategic policy documents in spatial planning and environmental domains that address fragmentation. However, these documents differ in how they frame fragmentation. Our goal was to evaluate the differences in 1) framing the problem of fragmentation and 2) suggested solutions. We performed a content analysis of the strategic policy documents by coding text using the key fragmentation aspects - biological organization, land cover, and connectivity. Next, we categorized data either to species-oriented, pattern-oriented, or ecosystem service frames and suggested criteria to evaluate the quality of the framing. This method was useful to show the divergence in the framing of fragmentation as a problem between two policy domains. The results show that the pattern-oriented frame and mitigation solutions are the most prominent aspects, and also fragmentation is not well framed.

Title: An ecosystem services-based approach for decision-making in urban planning
Abstract: 
 Changes relating to the development of land use often negatively impact on ecosystem services (ES), which in turn impairs the ability of ecosystems to sustain such services. The assessment of land suitability is a critical step in land use planning, but it may have some shortcomings and may fail to represent the diversity of ES-related features of geographical places. To address this issue, this paper proposes a method that integrates the ES approach with contemporary land suitability evaluation. The study consists of three steps: (1) Land suitability analysis: represents the geology, morphology, land capability, hydrology, erosion and habitat vulnerability, (2) Integrated ES mapping: represents the integrated value of provisioning, regulating and cultural ES potential together and (3) Land suitability evaluation based on integrated ES mapping (ES-Integrated Suitability Map): represents ES-based land suitability. The results demonstrate that there is a significant difference between the conventional and ES-integrated land suitability evaluations. According to the results of the conventional land suitability analysis, while 29.8% of land has excellent and 23.6% good suitability conditions for new development, the ES-integrated land suitability evaluation reveals that only 0.18% and 5.35% of land has excellent and good suitability for new development, respectively, in Duzce. This study shows that the introduction of the ES approach can have an important contribution to spatial decision-making. In addition, this method provides an approach to represent the place-based attributes of space better through the integration of ES into land suitability and can thus help to make environmental concerns a priority in spatial decision-making.

Title: Sustainable competitiveness: a spatial econometric analysis of European regions
Abstract: 
 The paper complements the few regional studies on the sustainability–competitiveness nexus by providing a novel composite index of sustainable competitiveness for 272 European regions in 28 European countries. Principal component factor analysis is combined with a variance-based structural equation model to create a statistically reliable index, which overcomes the methodological issues of previous studies. Especially, the use of the latter also allows estimation of the cause–effect relationships between the different pillars of sustainable competitiveness, where empirical evidence is scarce. The paper shows that favorable ecological, social, and economic environments can jointly contribute to facilitating long-term sustainable competitiveness outcomes. Thereby, the progress in one dimension is not necessarily at the expense of another dimension of sustainable competitiveness. The proposed index reveals important insights for policymakers into the sustainable competitiveness trajectory of European regions. Region-specific plans for action can be derived and new policy conclusions can be drawn from the index.

Title: GIS-based forest fire risk mapping using the analytical network process and fuzzy logic
Abstract: 
 This research investigates the efficiency of combining the Analytical Network Process (ANP) and fuzzy logic for developing a fire risk map. Major factors influencing the occurrence of forest fires were identified from the literature. The importance of each factor was determined by an ANP ranking procedure, which yielded the criteria weights, while fuzzy logic was employed for assessing the weights of the subcriteria. Then, GIS-based aggregation functions were employed to produce a fire risk map. In order to validate the results, forest fire locations were identified using field data, satellite images, and national reports. This validation revealed a very high accuracy of 0.819 for the fuzzy ANP model. The results will serve as guidelines for researchers and scientists by introducing new and robust MCDA methods. In general, the mentioned Hybrid method can be applied to early warning, fire suppression resources planning, and allocation work in the study area.

Title: Environmental justice implications of land grabbing for industrial agriculture and forestry in Argentina
Abstract: 
 Land grabbing results in social impacts, injustice, conflict and displacement of smallholders. We use an environmental justice framework to analyse land grabbing and actions taken by local communities (resistance, protest, and proactive organisation). Qualitative research investigating land grabbing for tree plantations and agriculture (primarily soy) was undertaken in Argentina. We found that pre-existing local vulnerabilities tended to result in people acquiescing rather than resisting land grabs. Local people considered existing injustices to be more pressing than land grabbing. Locals tacitly accepted injustice resulting in communities becoming displaced, fenced-in, or evicted. Consequently, already-vulnerable people continue to live in unhealthy conditions, insecure tenure situations, and bear a disproportionate social and environmental burden. More attention should be given to pre-existing vulnerabilities and to improving the wellbeing of people affected by land grabs. Analysing land grabbing from an environmental justice perspective contributes to understanding the deeper reasons about why, where and how land grabbing occurs.

Title: The utilization of ecosystem services mapping in land use planning: the experience of LIFE SAM4CP project
Abstract: 
 Ecosystem Service assessment requires better integration of the information that supports land use decisions. Nevertheless, the interpretation of maps and their utilisation to address sustainability during the land use planning process remains critical, especially at a local scale. In this study, a Geographic Information System-Based approach is presented to transform an Ecosystem Service biophysical multipart analysis into a composite parcel-scale indicator, mainly using Esri ArcGIS (version 10.5) functions, and particularly: (i) the Weighted Overlay, (ii) Hotspot Analysis and (iii) Aggregation of Polygons. This methodology has been used experimentally in three municipalities of the metropolitan city of Turin (Italy) during the LIFE SAM4CP project. The study aims to demonstrate how the operationalisation of Ecosystem Service assessment in planning aided Local Administrations in defining land use planning priorities, such as the identification of land take control strategies and the definition of Urban Growth Boundaries.

Title: Not just noise monitoring: rethinking citizen sensing for risk-related problem-solving
Abstract: 
 Can grassroots-driven citizen sensing initiatives triggered by distrust contribute to risk problem-solving? The article inspects such a potential in the field of risks to public health represented by noise pollution. After a conceptual reflection, the Amsterdam Schiphol and the London Heathrow airports’ noise monitoring cases are compared. We inquire: How did lay people use citizen sensing to find solutions to the increase in noise? Which perceptions/actions influence and facilitate the problem-solving potential of citizen sensing? We found that the main citizens’ actions leading to solutions are an adequate contesting of information monopoly through the production of valid data, as well as the challenging of institutional strategies to improve risk-related problem-solving. Accordingly, the citizen sensing initiative may generate mutual understanding and stimulate the institutional recognition of the problem and urgency for solving it. The article provides a novel exploration of evidence on performance of actors showing the problem-solving potential of citizen sensing through a preliminary performance matrix.

Title: Mitigating environmental harm in urban planning: an ecological perspective
Abstract: 
 Environmental sustainability is a major focal point of urban planning, yet scholarly discourse often fails to grapple with the environmental contradictions inherent in the reliance on economic growth found within the prevailing sustainable development paradigm. This paper develops an ecological-sociological framework for analyzing sustainable planning best practices, which shape local sustainable planning implementation. A key argument of ecological-sociological scholarship is that sustainable development is an expression of ecological modernization, which erroneously tries to solve environmental problems through economic growth-based strategies. The authors use content analysis to examine the American Planning Association’s 2015 Sustaining Places: Best Practices for Comprehensive Plans and find that its principles and environmental harm mitigation strategies incorporate an ecological modernizationist approach to sustainable planning. The authors argue that embrace of economic growth and underspecification of ecological standards hinder the field of sustainable planning from promoting best practices that mitigate environmental harm in the long term.

Title: Residential energy efficiency retrofits: potential unintended consequences
Abstract: 
 Improving the energy efficiency of the residential building stock has increasingly been promoted by policy makers as a means of reducing energy demand in the residential sector. We review the literature on some non-energy impacts of energy efficiency retrofitting measures aimed at increasing the air tightness and thermal insulation of residential properties. Specifically, we review the impact of retrofitting measures on indoor pollutants, mould growth, attenuation of radio signal and overheating. We show that without the provision of adequate ventilation, increased air tightness can result in higher levels of indoor pollutants and mould growth. Similarly, we show that in certain circumstances thermal insulation has the potential to result in increased signal attenuation and overheating. We detail the policy implications of these findings and outline policy actions that have been implemented in case study countries where these consequences have been identified as potential issues.

Title: Qualitative and quantitative analysis of perceived liveability in the context of socio-ecohydrology: evidence from the urban and peri-urban Cirebon-Indonesia
Abstract: 
 In this study, we examine key liveability aspects, viz., ecosystem services (ES), urban services (US), peri-urban services (PS) and human services (HS). Further, disparity in the liveability of urban and peri-urban areas that could hamper sustainability was investigated. The Cirebon Metropolitan Region in Indonesia frequently experiences water security issues. The perceived liveability of this region was assessed using survey data collected in 65 villages within 25 sub-districts. The study demonstrates that ES, US, PS and HS in the analytical framework of importance–performance analysis (IPA) can identify the main areas needing intervention to improve urban and peri-urban socio-ecohydrological systems and liveability. The method of combining qualitative and quantitative IPA schemes developed in this study is novel and is able to support a demand-based approach and comprehensive understanding of place-based needs for long-term liveability in a developing country situation.

Title: Quantitative analysis of national biodiversity strategy and action plans about incorporating integrated approaches in production landscapes
Abstract: 
 A global crisis for production landscapes has shed light on the importance of sustainable management of these landscapes in an integrated manner at local and national levels. However, there is a lack of quantitative research on the integration of relevant concepts into national-level policies and planning. Thus, we analyzed the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs) of 133 Convention on Biological Diversity parties using a text mining method to determine the current global situation regarding production landscape policies. The statistical results showed that (1) about half of parties mentioned integrated approaches in production landscapes (e.g., cultural landscapes, socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes), (2) there were some regional differences in the number of references, (3) the introduction of these concepts has been increasing worldwide, and (4) these concepts have been accorded higher priority in national policy and planning.

Title: Identifying and addressing drinking water system sprawl, its consequences, and the opportunity for planners’ intervention: evidence from Los Angeles County
Abstract: 
 Across the United States, poorly-performing, small drinking water systems operate under nominal public oversight in spatial patterns that neither cohere with other administrative jurisdictions nor conform to environmental, efficiency, or equity criteria. This study lays out the case for planning intervention to address the over-dispersion of drinking water systems, or water system sprawl. An analysis of data collected on every publicly-regulated drinking water system in Los Angeles County serves as a case study to illustrate the extent of sprawl and its consequences.To inform an understanding of feasible interventions to address sprawl, this study reviews development approval regulations and general plans, and conducts interviews with state and regional officials in California. Findings suggest that planning authorities that provide nominal safeguards against sprawl are not actively used to influence drinking water system boundaries, but both the tools of LAFCOs and novel governance authorities hold more promise for reform.

Title: Civil society participation in the Scottish marine planning process and the role of Environmental Non-Governmental Organisations
Abstract: 
 Sustainable development principles are based on the fundamental recognition of humans as an integral part of the ecosystem. Participation of civil society should therefore be central to marine planning processes and enabling ecosystem-based management, and development of mechanisms for effective participation is critical. To date, little attention has been given to the role of Environmental Non-Governmental Organisations (ENGOs) in public participation. In this paper, the results of two workshops, which involved various stakeholders and addressed public participation in marine planning, are reported and discussed in the context of the Scottish marine planning process. ENGOs’ role in communicating complex policies, representing members’ interests and contributing towards participatory governance in marine planning is highlighted. Innovative outreach methods are still required by decision-makers to translate technical information, integrate local knowledge, improve public representation and conserve resources. This could include collaboration with ENGOs to help promote public participation in decision-making processes.

Title: Evaluating environmental permitting process duration: the case of clean water act Section 404 permits
Abstract: 
 Permits are a critical tool for ensuring that infrastructure projects provide the benefits they promise without harming nearby people or the environment. However, the environmental permitting process is complex, often resulting in long review times and increased administrative costs. Identifying ways to hasten permitting processes without compromising environmental rigor is important for enabling efficient and effective infrastructure regulation. This paper evaluates the relationship between permitting duration and characteristics of the projects, applicant organizations, and regulatory regime, using a novel dataset of US Clean Water Act permits. Longer review time was associated with projects proposed by a business (rather than state or federal agencies); using an engineering consultant; requiring some combination of environmental impact analysis, historic preservation, and/or endangered species review; and located in Arizona. Project type, agency workload, and socioeconomic characteristics did not correlate with review time.

Title: Land-use planning and designated national interests in Sweden: arctic perspectives on landscape multifunctionality
Abstract: 
 Rural land-use planning should handle land-use interests, such as nature-based tourism, biodiversity preservation and industrial resource extraction, on an appropriate level of scale. Management for multifunctionality represents an option in factually multifunctional landscapes. The Swedish policy of national interests, as applied in the context of the three northernmost municipalities’ statutory comprehensive plan-making, provides an attempt in this direction. Based on mapping and practitioner interviews, the study reveals that the vague ‘practical’ implications of the omnipresent land-use designations under the policy complicate the task of local-level spatial planning. Integrated consideration of multiple uses (or use options), implicated by policy principles, was found to fall back into case-by-case assessments. Land-use designation can be worked into a tool for the governance of multifunctional landscapes when care is taken to manage the aspects outlined in the study, among others interagency orchestration and explicit regulation of co-existence.

Title: Coordinating climate change adaptation across levels of government: the gap between theory and practice of integrated adaptation strategy processes
Abstract: 
 Policymakers at different government levels develop integrated adaptation strategy processes (ASPs), which are supposed to prepare a particular region, country or municipality for the impacts of climate change. The adaptation literature suggests that coordination of these efforts promises comprehensive climate change adaptation, because it allows making use of synergies and avoiding maladaptation. Nonetheless, we lack evidence about the coordination of multiple levels and its potential to actually facilitate climate change adaptation. Based on an examination of 14 integrated ASPs, the author asks how they interact with each other, if they reconcile the priorities of other levels, and if they are an adequate tool for coordinating climate change adaptation. The study reveals a considerable gap between theory and practice. It demonstrates that the call for coordination is not reflected in current adaptation policy and questions whether (more) coordination is what we need to be better prepared for the impacts of climate change.

Title: Energy planning tools for low carbon transitions: an example of a multicriteria spatial planning tool for district heating
Abstract: 
 Energy planning tools can support transitions to low carbon energy by helping planners to identify technology options and scenarios. Exploring a case study of district heating development to support heat decarbonisation in the United Kingdom (UK), this article uses thematic analysis of qualitative semistructured interviews conducted between May 2013 and August 2015 with local and regional government officials, in order to consider how energy planning decision-making tools can be designed to support the early stages of low carbon transitions as a form of strategic niche management. The findings of this analysis are then tested through the development of a spatial heat planning tool covering England and Wales, designed to respond to the needs of niche actors seeking to facilitate early development of district heating projects. The tool is for use by local government actors as they seek to build social networks of stakeholders to support the technology change, to demonstrate its value and to support skills development. The research shows the importance of designing flexible tools which can go beyond techno-economic criteria and reflect the wider motivations and decision criteria of local actors, including social criteria.

Title: From social ‘acceptance’ to social ‘acceptability’ of wind energy projects: towards a territorial perspective
Abstract: 
 Social acceptance is central in many debates surrounding energy projects. Wind energy, in particular, has been described as a ‘learning laboratory’ in terms of social acceptance of energy projects. It has given way to a socio-technical paradox: the social dimension has become a factor of equal importance to technology in the wind farms implementation. Based on a literature review concerned with the social acceptance of wind energy, the paper seeks to demonstrate both the richness and the limits of the key concepts that inform the ongoing work of scholars. By doing so, we intend to emphasise the complex processes underneath in order to then elaborate a conceptual definition of social acceptability. Various modulations and limits that characterise current thinking are thus underlined. We then propose a grid analysis relying on a territorial perspective. It is structured around three levels that connect micro-social, meso-political and macro-economic processes.

Title: Scope effects of respondent uncertainty in contingent valuation: evidence from motorized emission reductions in the city of Nairobi, Kenya
Abstract: 
 This study analyzed the scope effects of respondent uncertainty in contingent valuation (CV) by evaluating whether willingness to pay (WTP) estimates were sensitive to changes in the magnitudes of motorized emission reductions in the city of Nairobi, Kenya. The WTP estimates were elicited through the conventional payment card (PC), stochastic payment card (SPC) and the polychotomous payment card (PPC) formats. While SPC and PPC formats were used to capture respondent uncertainty, the PC format captured respondent certainty regarding the amounts individuals were WTP for emission reductions. Based on parametric and nonparametric analysis, results show that certain (PC) respondents stated significantly larger WTP amounts for larger emission reductions than for smaller reductions. Conversely, uncertain (SPC and PPC) respondents stated smaller amounts for larger emission reductions than certain (PC) respondents. The implication is that though respondents were sensitive to the scope of motorized emission reductions, respondent uncertainty lowered their sensitivity to scope.

Title: Stakeholder initiatives in flood risk management: exploring the role and impact of bottom-up initiatives in three ‘Room for the River’ projects in the Netherlands
Abstract: 
 In recent years stakeholder participation has become a popular topic in flood management. Little is known about how and under which circumstances local stakeholders initiate and develop successful flood management strategies and how governmental actors respond to them. Drawing on theories of social movements, stakeholder participation, and citizenship, this paper analyses how local stakeholder initiatives in the Dutch ‘Room for the River’ programme evolve and, in turn, influence such governmental plans and actions. The description and comparative analysis of the three cases leads to three conclusions: first, in all cases, forms of local self-organization play a role, but its impacts are highly dependent on the mix of strategies chosen. Second, forms of coproduction between local stakeholders and government actors are the most viable strategy to realize the positive impact of local initiatives. Third, government agencies tend to react to local initiatives defensively. Much depends on timing and connecting to the right people.

Title: Stakeholders' expectations from the agri-environmental programme in Slovenia and Croatia
Abstract: 
 The agri-environmental programme (AEP) is the European Union policy instrument used for the delivery of environmental services expected by the society, but societal expectations for these environmental services are insufficiently assessed. In order to realistically meet the expectations of AEP, this research utilises analytical hierarchy process based web survey to assess the importance that various societal stakeholders in the European countries of Slovenia and Croatia give to specific environmental services and to also identify the agricultural practices that have the greatest potential to realise the expectations that society values the most. All stakeholders (overall group) from Slovenia and Croatia ranked water quality and availability as the first most important environmental service, and reduction of pesticides as the most important agricultural practice to deliver societal expectations. The results indicate that there is similar demand for environmental services in these two countries that differ in their agricultural settings.

Title: Measuring landscape integrity (LI): development of a hybrid methodology for planning applications
Abstract: 
 Landscape integrity data-sets represent a measure of a landscape's naturalness, or its inverse, the level of human modification. Generally referred to as human footprint modeling, a hybrid approach was developed here by incorporating distance, density, and spatially explicit fuzzy logic methods for quantifying the impacts of anthropocentric infrastructure on the landscape. Integrity scores varied markedly across this large and heterogeneous landscape. A comparative analysis among peer data products revealed that this model exhibited the highest level of correlation when compared to an independently derived expert survey of expected scores. Moreover, differences in correlation were found to be statistically significant in two cases indicating robust model performance. Data products such as these may be leveraged to quantify the nature and extent of human modifications on the landscape, identify highly natural areas for conservation purposes, and may serve as an overarching umbrella for guiding and coordinating large and local-scale planning efforts.

Title: Assessing agricultural vulnerability to climate change in the Nordic countries – an interactive geovisualization approach
Abstract: 
 Nordic agriculture must adapt to climate change to reduce vulnerability and exploit potential opportunities. Integrated assessments can identify and quantify vulnerability in order to recognize these adaptation needs. This study presents a geographic visualization approach to support the interactive assessment of agricultural vulnerability to climate change. We have identified requirements for increased transparency and reflexivity in vulnerability assessments, arguing that these can be met by geographic visualization. A conceptual framework to support the integration of geographic visualization for vulnerability assessments has been designed and applied for the development of AgroExplore, an interactive tool for assessing agricultural vulnerability to climate change in Sweden. To open up the black box of composite vulnerability indices, AgroExplore enables the user to select, weight, and classify relevant indicators into sub-indices of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. This enables the exploration of underlying indicators and factors determining vulnerability in Nordic agriculture.

Title: The channels of the effect of government expenditure on the environment: evidence using dynamic panel data
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the relationship between government spending and environmental quality using panel data for 94 countries for the period 1970–2008. We identify and estimate three distinct channels that comprise the total direct effect of government expenditure on air pollution, namely a marginal effect, an effect conditional on economic growth and an effect conditional on institutional quality. Since adjustment rate of emissions to their equilibrium level is slow due to technological and institutional reasons, we explicitly take into account dynamics by applying appropriate econometric methods. The results demonstrate that there is a significant alleviating direct effect of government expenditure on SO2 and NOx emissions, which increases with the level of economic growth and democracy. However, there is no evidence of a significant effect on pollutants with more global impact on the environment and human health, like N2O and CO2, implying that the adoption of international environmental treaties is required in this case.

Title: Revealing inadvertent elitism in stakeholder models of environmental governance: assessing procedural justice in sustainability organizations
Abstract: 
 Consensus-based multi-stakeholder forms of environmental governance involving government, private and civil society actors, have become popular for advancing sustainability, but have been criticized for failing to achieve procedural justice objectives including recognition, participation and strengthening capabilities. Yet, how such models have functioned within non-governmental organizations dedicated to advancing sustainability has been underexplored. This paper assesses the procedural elements of consensus-based multi-stakeholder models used within Canadian biosphere reserves and model forests, two organizations working to address environment and sustainability issues. We draw on strategic documents and semi-structured interviews from five organizations in Canada to analyze their governance structures and processes against a framework for procedural justice. We find the organizational structure reproduces elitism and professionalism associated with stakeholder models more generally and reproduces challenges associated with recognition, participation and building capabilities found in other stakeholder approaches. Meeting broader sustainability challenges requires organizations to address procedural justice issues in addition to their traditional environmental concerns.

Title: Public participation mechanisms and sustainable policy-making: a case study analysis of Mexico City's 
Abstract: 
 Mexico City has gained an international reputation for its ground-breaking approach to sustainability as a result of policies implemented during the Marcelo Ebrard administration (2006–2012). In this paper, we examine the development and implementation of the Plan Verde de la Ciudad de México (Green Plan), the 15-year policy aimed to transform Mexico City into the most progressive and sustainable city in Latin America. Key to the plan's success, it was claimed, would be the active participation of stakeholders from all levels of society. Drawing on documentary material and interviews, we argue that whilst the plan did have a significant impact on the environmental sustainability of the megacity, it failed to include effective citizen participation mechanisms. As predicted by several members of the Green Plan Monitoring and Assessment Board, this lack of representation, alongside other failures, appears to have facilitated the premature demise of the plan under the new administration.

Title: Voluntary recycling despite disincentives
Abstract: 
 This paper assesses the determinants of take-up of a voluntary waste separation scheme, in a scenario where residents sorted, stored and paid for collection of recycling waste even though mixed waste was collected at the kerbside more conveniently, free of charge and without any quantity limits. Uptake of the scheme was positive, persistent and diverse across localities, offering an opportunity to assess the factors determining voluntary participation in the presence of disincentives. We employ a unique panel data-set (n = 4,644) from Malta, including data on recyclable waste kilogrammes collected over the first 86 weeks of the scheme's operation. Drawing on insights from environmental economics and psychology, a model is empirically estimated. Results indicate that uptake is suppressed by the initial constraints households may face and stimulated by collection frequency. Political vote is an important determinant of participation and this interacts with scheme promotion to create diverse uptake rates.

Title: Managing water through change and uncertainty: comparing lessons from the adaptive co-management literature to recent policy developments in England
Abstract: 
 Water management is set to become increasingly variable and unpredictable, in particular because of climate change. This paper investigates the extent to which water policy in England provides an enabling environment for ‘adaptive co-management’, which its proponents claim can achieve the dual objective of ecosystem protection and livelihood sustainability under conditions of change and uncertainty. Five policy categories are derived from a literature review, and are used to conduct a directed content analysis of seven key water policy documents. The findings reveal that although, in part, English water policy serves as an enabling environment for adaptive co-management, there is a level of discrepancy between substantive aspects of the five policy categories and water policy in England. Addressing these discrepancies will be important if English water policy is to allow for the emergence of processes, like adaptive co-management, that are capable of coping with the challenges that lie ahead.

Title: Factors influencing scaling up of agroforestry-based spatial land-use integration for soil fertility management in Arsamma Watershed, Southwestern Ethiopian Highlands
Abstract: 
 This study was set to examine factors influencing agroforestry upscaling, inter-plot natural fertilizer transfer and inter-plot income flow in Arsamma watershed. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to gather necessary information. Contingency table, chi-square, Phi and Cramer's V were used to analyze the data. Access to seedlings was the most important determinant of agroforestry upscaling; and farmers' production orientation, farm size and wealth status ranked, respectively, second, third and fourth. Inter-plot natural fertilizer transfer was primarily influenced by participation in agricultural extension. Wealth status and livestock size ranked, respectively, second and third in influencing inter-plot natural fertilizer transfer. The study indicated a geographic concept of spatial land-use integration for soil fertility management and key factors influencing agroforestry-based land-use integration. Agroforestry-centered diversified small-scale agricultural commercialization, tree-crop-livestock integration, agricultural extension services promotion and multi-purpose tree species supply are the way out to upscale agroforestry and agroforestry-based spatial land-use integration.

Title: Inter-observer variation in habitat survey data: investigating the consequences for professional practice
Abstract: 
 Environmental assessments and land-use planning require reliable information on the botanical composition and distribution of habitats. There have been numerous academic studies of inter-observer variation in species-inventory and habitat mapping, but studies addressing the prevalence of inter-observer variation and consequences of poor quality data in professional practice are lacking. This paper addresses these questions via a questionnaire survey of environmental professionals, using the standard Phase 1 and National Vegetation Classification (NVC) survey methods in the United Kingdom. The survey revealed that misidentification of habitat types within survey reports was relatively common (approximating to 20% of all reports seen by respondents over the previous five years). Approximately 40% of respondents who had encountered erroneous reports stated that these had led to inaccurate initial site ecological assessments. Additional field surveys and discussions with surveyors were commonly used to resolve these issues, but for Phase 1 and NVC 26% and 34% of respondents, respectively, had encountered one or more cases where errors resulted in negative consequences for clients commissioning surveys (in terms of extra costs and project delays). Net loss of biodiversity arising from inaccurate reports was reported in at least one instance by 32% and 38% of respondents for Phase 1 and NVC surveys, respectively – results that may contribute to the attrition of natural capital within the UK. The study highlights the need to extend studies of inter-observer variation to consider impacts on environmental assessments and decision-making in professional practice. The potential benefits of introducing an accreditation scheme (favoured by the majority of respondents to the questionnaire) are discussed.

Title: Resilience to heat in public space: a case study of Adelaide, South Australia
Abstract: 
 During summer heatwaves, heat load exacerbates in urban heat islands (especially in hot climates) and threatens public life in cities. This paper examines the links between urban microclimates, outdoor thermal discomfort and public life through an exploratory case study. Heat resilience is highlighted as the ability of the space to support its normal activities when experiencing out-of-comfort temperatures. It also reports on the correlations between heat sensitive outdoor activities and urban greenery in three disparate case studies in Adelaide. Results indicate that necessary and optional activities start to decline after the apparent temperature reaches the threshold of 28 °C–32 °C, while activities in public spaces with more urban greenery show higher resilience to heat stress. Research findings propose heat resilience as a quality indicator in public space and support the application of urban greenery to make urban settings more resilient to heat stress.

Title: Factorial fuzzy programming for planning water resources management systems
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we propose a factorial fuzzy programming (FFP) approach for planning water resources management systems. The conventional fuzzy method cannot reflect the interactions among uncertain system parameters nor quantify their interactive effects. This may lead to important interrelationships among system parameters being neglected in systems analysis, and the derived decisions may not be robust enough to support the management under uncertainties. The objective of this study is to develop an FFP approach to deal with such interactive uncertainties. Factorial analysis (FA) was integrated with the fuzzy technique to quantify the effects of multiple fuzzy modeling parameters on the system performance and to reveal their implicit interrelationships. A flood-diversion planning case was studied to illustrate the applicability of the FFP approach. The individual and interactive effects of fuzzy parameters on the system objectives were evaluated. The influential effects were identified and the implicit interrelationships within influential interactions were revealed.

Title: Alberta's oil sands reclamation policy trajectory: the role of tense layering, policy stretching, and policy patching in long-term policy dynamics
Abstract: 
 As the Canadian oil sands development matures, an increasingly important policy activity is reclamation. Reclamation has received limited attention compared with the broader discussion of oil sands expansion, however, and its past direction and future trajectory are unclear. Recent moves to reform the policy in Alberta have been interpreted simultaneously as a major change and a marginal adaptation to the existing framework. This article employs a historical-institutional perspective to help reconcile this debate and further understanding of changes to Alberta's oil sands reclamation policies over the past half century. It traces the factors and outlines the processes which have driven its evolution since 1963 with special attention paid to the 2011 Oil Sands Progressive Reclamation Strategy, the most recent attempt to reform oil sands reclamation policy. The article reveals a complex long-term pattern of policy development in which processes of ‘tense layering’ of new initiatives on top of old elements resulted in a constantly shifting policy landscape as existing policy instruments and settings were ‘stretched’ to cover new circumstances but failed to resolve tensions between successive policy layers. After 1993, however, a more reflective process was put into place in which policy feedback informed alterations intended to reduce or remove tensions between successive layers. Such a policy ‘patching’ process is shown to have helped resolve tensions associated with earlier stretching of the existing regime and adds to the vocabulary of more general studies of policy dynamics.

Title: Assessing participatory and multi-level characteristics of biodiversity and landscape protection legislation: the case of Poland
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework for analysing formal rules regulating the involvement of various actors in protected areas decision-making over time and apply it to Poland. Based on the analysis of legal acts and policy documents, we suggest that since the democratic transition started in 1989, the governance of Polish protected areas has been increasingly multi-level and participatory. However, different designations indicate different levels of involvement by non-state actors, with Natura 2000 standing out from the traditional protected areas. Regarding governance issues, establishing and taking management decisions were characterised by the greatest changes in actors’ involvement. While participation of non-public actors is still limited mostly to information and consultation, the involvement of non-state public actors of various levels increased significantly. The paper highlights the importance of a systematic analysis of legal rules as a starting point for empirical investigation of the governance of protected areas.

Title: An integrated approach towards transforming an industrial park into an eco-industrial park: the case of Salaise-Sablons
Abstract: 
 This paper describes an integrated approach to transform an industrial park into an eco-industrial park by combining three interconnected goals, namely, the consolidation of industrial symbiosis, the promotion of sustainable accessibility and the development of multi-functionalities. The result is an interdependent approach where industrial and territorial ecosystems are jointly planned, seeking a more sustainable level of development that considers industrial activity, the transportation of people and goods and the spatial articulation with the neighbouring environment and urban areas. The critical points and challenges for improving the territorial integration of the French industrial park of Salaise-Sablons are discussed, providing lessons for the future. Regardless of the specificities of the case study, this approach has the potential to be adopted in similar industrial parks.

Title: An online platform supporting the analysis of water adaptation measures in the Alps
Abstract: 
 Climate change may result in reduced water supply from the Alps – an important water resource for Europe. This paper presents a multilingual platform that combines spatial and multi-criteria decision-support tools to facilitate stakeholder collaboration in the analysis of water management adaptation options. The platform has an interactive map interface that allows participants to select a location of their interest within the Alpine Arc. By utilising the decision-support tool, stakeholders can identify suitable adaptation solutions for different geographical units, according to their experience and preference. The platform was used to involve experts across Alpine borders, domains and decision-making levels, as well as a group of university students. The experts favoured the planning instruments for saving water, while the students inclined towards the measures that would improve water conservation. The initial results confirmed the suitability of the platform for future involvement of decision-makers in spatio-temporal analyses of adaptation pathways in the Alps.

Title: Climate change and political discourse: analysis of energy efficiency and conservation block grants in Dallas-Fort Worth
Abstract: 
 Little is known about municipal planning for energy reduction and climate change in conservative areas of the United States, where opposition to environmentalism is often vocal and persistent. This paper analyzes the experience of 31 municipalities in the Dallas-Fort Worth region of Texas implementing the federal energy efficiency and conservation block grant. A qualitative case study approach and extensive interviews with municipal staff yield a detailed description of the political discourse of energy issues and climate change planning. Many municipalities used the grant funds for necessary maintenance projects and had little impact on long-term energy independence or climate change leadership. A subset of municipalities expressed fear of citizen disapproval and some experienced significant opposition that changed or halted their efforts. Based on effective initiatives and common challenges, recommendations are made to foster energy and climate planning in conservative regions and improve implementation of national policies on the local level.

Title: Knowledge, attitude and behavior of farmers in farmland conservation in China: an application of the structural equation model
Abstract: 
 We analyzed the relationship between the conservation behavior of farmers and their environmental attitude and knowledge, whilst controlling for exogenous socio-economic factors. We employed the structural equation model with cross-sectional data from 442 farmers from the Guanzhong Plain of China. Results showed that local farmers generally possessed a positive environmental attitude and undertook considerable conservation action. Conservation behavior was directly affected by environmental attitude and indirectly by environmental knowledge (via attitude). Social networks, farm size, land rights, age and incentives were significant exogenous explanatory variables. Thus, understanding the importance of socio-behavioral characteristics, including the environmental attitude and knowledge of farmers, is important for the development of farmland conservation policies. Specifically, farmers in this area were found to significantly depend on each other for information on farmland conservation practices. Thus, role model farmer discussions, dissemination of environmentally friendly techniques via social networks and the rewarding of environmentally friendly behavior among farmers should be used to encourage ongoing restoration endeavors, and thereby help mitigate environmental degradation.

Title: Flexible, collaborative, and meaningful? The case of the US coastal nonpoint pollution control program
Abstract: 
 Flexibility and collaboration are a common prescription for complex, transboundary problems such as nonpoint source (NPS) water pollution. This paper examines the case of the United States Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program (CNPCP), under which all 28 coastal states must develop comprehensive NPS management programs. The CNPCP allows states to satisfy requirements using voluntary, non-regulatory measures, and grants considerable flexibility in terms of institutional coordination and public participation. Thus, it is unclear whether compliance – which is incentivized with Federal funds – should be associated with improved environmental outcomes. Using a remotely sensed land cover census of 800 coastal counties from 1996 to 2010, this paper tests whether compliant programs – and particular participation and coordination mechanisms – are associated with different rates of forest and wetlands conversion. Approved states are associated with decreased rates of forest and wetlands conversion, but minimal differences are found with respect to specific participation and coordination strategies.

Title: Boundary spanners as trust ambassadors in collaborative natural resource management
Abstract: 
 Collaboration is a growing trend in agency-led natural resource management in the USA, carrying the promise of defusing conflict and incorporating a broader range of stakeholder ideas. However, concerns exist that confrontational or litigious groups may use collaborative forums to their organization's own advantage. We conducted case studies on three collaboratives to understand how these efforts have influenced the behavior of environmental groups who were previously at odds with the managing agency, the US Forest Service. Results suggest that trust between boundary spanners from historically adversarial groups can support a realignment of the accountabilities they feel. As rational, affinitive, and procedural trust developed, boundary spanners began to advocate, within their home organizations, for the collaborative's goals. Key activities driving these realignments included the development of fair and transparent procedures governing the collaborative group, structured interaction designed to build consensus, and planned informal interactions that revealed shared values among collaborative participants.

Title: Convenience improves composting and recycling rates in high-density residential buildings
Abstract: 
 Increasing volumes of solid waste, implicated in environmental pollution and health problems, are central to the current environmental crisis. In two randomized field experiments, we demonstrate that convenience dramatically boosts recycling and composting rates in multi-family dwellings and university residences. When compost bins were placed on each floor in a multi-family residence, instead of on the ground floor, composting rates increased by 70%, diverting 27 kilograms of compost from the landfill per unit per year. When recycling stations were placed just meters from suites in student residences, instead of in the basement, recycling increased by 147% (container), and 137% (paper), and composting increased by 139%, diverting 23, 22, and 14 kilograms of containers, paper, and compost, respectively, from the landfill per person per year. Simply making recycling and composting convenient can significantly increase waste diversion, and as such this single intervention has important implications for waste management and environmental policy.

Title: Current and future effectiveness of the Natura 2000 network for protecting plant species in Sardinia: a nice and complex strategy in its raw state?
Abstract: 
 Sardinia hosts 186 endemic plant species and represents an important centre for Mediterranean biodiversity. In view of the threats facing its flora, 27 terrestrial vascular plants have been listed in international regulations and 124 sites designated for species and habitat conservation. This study analyses gaps in the Natura 2000 network and the current and future distribution of four representative plants. Each plant population was georeferenced and the effectiveness of the Natura 2000 network was compared according to conservation status and distribution. Future species distributions were modelled by considering current climatic conditions and future scenarios. In apparent discordance with other results, we found that the Natura 2000 network represents most plant species well. This research shows a forward-looking survey on the regional effectiveness of protection measures which led us to confirm the need to enhance the current state of the Natura 2000 network by implementing local legislation and regulations.

Title: Designing a policy package for the promotion of servicising: A case study of vineyard crop protection in Galicia (Spain)
Abstract: 
 The servicising approach in vineyard protection is considered a valid alternative to achieve decoupling between the economic and environmental performance of viticulture. In this paper, a policy package is designed to promote the uptake of a servicised model of vineyard protection in an area of smallholding viticulture. In doing so, a specific methodology based on a step by step protocol has been followed that aims to come up with a package that is effective, implementable and socially as well as politically acceptable. The paper concludes on the importance of combining several policy instruments in a policy package to realise the political objective. The proposed viable policy package includes incentives that support the companies’ shift towards offering crop protection solutions, further development of IPM solutions and instruments that encourage farmers to reduce the use of pesticides and collectively hire crop protection services.

Title: Eco-innovation and sustainability: dynamic trends, geography and policies
Abstract: 
 The special issue addresses the role of sustainability-oriented innovation and inventions as a relevant factor in the transition of our economies towards a greener, low carbon, and circular economy. It focuses on the EU, an area which has set stringent waste and climate change policies over the past decades. Though sustainable innovation and green knowledge issues have been developed over the past two decades since seminal papers appeared, some compelling research avenues still exist at the frontier. This issue attempts to close some knowledge gaps through different channels that broaden the perspective on eco-innovations towards a green knowledge type of setting, where technology, human capital, social capital are all relevant.

Title: Catching-up in waste management. Evidence from the EU
Abstract: 
 This work tests for the presence of convergence in the main municipal solid waste disposal choices across EU countries over the years 1995&#x2013;2010. We believe this is a relevant exercise, considering that in the last two decades the waste sector has experienced a profound transformation at the European level. In this context, &#x3B2; and &#x3C3; tests of convergence can tell us more about the distribution of these different rival choices of waste disposal, by assessing on the one hand the presence of convergence and, on the other hand, the role played by environmental policy and green technological change in driving convergence. Our regression results suggest that conditional beta convergence is substantial for both recycling and incineration. For the case of recycling, this convergence is faster for countries characterised by a technological endowment in recycling technologies and stringent waste policies. Finally, heterogeneity across countries (sigma convergence) appears to decrease over time.

Title: Waste performance, waste technology and policy effects
Abstract: 
 Exploiting a balanced panel data set for 103 Italian provinces over the year 1999&#x2013;2010, we study the effect of technological improvements, environmental policy and their interactions on waste management performance. The results point to the existence of both complementarity and substitution effects between green technological change and environmental policies. Moreover, we extend the baseline analysis to study whether knowledge spillovers play a role in affecting waste management options such as recycling, incineration and landfilling. To account for technological spillovers, we constructed an indicator that sums the patent stock of neighbouring provinces. The evidence suggests that knowledge stock has a positive impact on recycling and knowledge spillovers influence both recycling and incineration.

Title: Information communication technologies and environmental innovations in firms: joint adoptions and productivity effects
Abstract: 
 Information communication technology (ICT) and environmental innovation (EI) are relevant waves of the ongoing technological revolution. We study the complementarity in innovation adoption to test the research hypothesis that the higher the diffusion and intensity of usage of ICT and EI, the higher a firm's productivity performance might be. However, it is not certain that the use of different innovations stemming from different innovation paths generates higher productivity. To test our hypothesis, we use original survey data concerning manufacturing firms in Northeast Italy including detailed information on both ICT and EI. Empirical evidence shows that there are still wide margins to improve the integration between EI and ICT in order to exploit their potential benefits on productivity. The awareness of specific synergies seems to mainly characterise the heavy polluting firms that are subject to more stringent environmental constraints, while some trade-offs tend to emerge for the remaining firms.

Title: Innovative products and services with environmental benefits: design of search strategies for external knowledge and absorptive capacity
Abstract: 
 Although the antecedents of environmental innovation and open innovation strategies have been well-studied separately, the relationship between a firm's openness and environmental technological innovation still remains an interesting topic to research, especially in terms of the various modes of openness on the one hand and the product&#x2013;process distinction on the other. This study relies on data from the French Community Innovation Survey to differentiate the association of three dimensions of open inbound innovation search strategies&#xA0;&#x2013;&#xA0;acquiring, sharing, and information sourcing&#xA0;&#x2013;&#xA0;with environmental product (ecoproduct) and process (ecoprocess) innovations. Inbound innovation, attained through the acquisition of machinery, equipment, and software, is more likely to be associated with ecoprocess than ecoproduct innovations; external R&amp;D only drives ecoproducts. Inbound sharing through R&amp;D cooperation seems associated with the introduction of both ecoproducts and ecoprocesses. For inbound innovation sourcing, external market sources of information are positively associated with firms&#x2019; involvement in all types of environmental innovation.

Title: Are environmental innovators persistent?
Abstract: 
 A growing body of literature concerns innovation persistence, but does not deal with environmental innovation, which is an important topic in the context of global warming. In this paper, we contribute to this literature by testing whether environmental innovators are persistent. Our empirical approach rests on the use of the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) 2008 and CIS 2010 data for firms from Luxembourg. Due to the lack of harmonisation, we are obliged to carry out a consistent statistical retreatment related to the data. Our probit models show that environmental technological innovators are persistent. The phenomenon of environmental innovation persistence is also positively affected by regulation and voluntary measures.

Title: Distributed energy production in a polycentric scenario: policy reforms and community management
Abstract: 
 Any discussion of distributed energy systems inevitably centres on how they compare with the large energy systems, i.e. the traditional centralised model of energy production, and on the viability of local energy systems as alternatives in terms of efficiency and sustainability. At present, the debate on local energy systems and distributed energy production hinges mainly on questions of technology and engineering; at most, some reflections on economy are thrown in. What we believe is essential is to cast the net wider and include other dimensions. In particular, we also need to consider in greater depth the organisational and institutional issues involved&#xA0;&#x2013;&#xA0;until now, less considered and discussed. In this perspective, the main question addressed by the present article is if and how new forms of local organisations can provide the crucial catalyst for a new polycentric distributed energy scenario.

Title: Where to begin municipal climate adaptation planning? Evaluating two local choices
Abstract: 
 Adapting to the impacts of human-caused climate change is a critical challenge facing cities worldwide. But, local climate adaptation planning is in its infancy. Early on, cities must decide whether to take a narrow-scope approach focused solely on reducing risks from climate impacts or to take a broad-scope approach embedding adaptation planning within wider ranging community concerns. They also must decide whether or not to formally involve their planning agency in adaptation planning. We used content analysis methods to assess a national sample of United States municipal plans. We find that cities with plans with a narrow-scope approach, focused on reducing risks, perform better in terms of plan integration and including more land use policies that can steer development out of hazardous areas. Formal involvement of planning agencies in adaptation planning processes is associated with more plan integration, but not necessarily inclusion of more land use policies.

Title: The administration and management of environmental sustainability initiatives: a collaborative perspective
Abstract: 
 Local climate and energy issues provide fertile ground for collaboration in pursuit of shared goals, yet coordination problems can stymie their achievement. Collaborative networks enable integration of local sustainability initiatives across regions and are one mechanism available to mitigate coordination problems and expand the access of resources to local governments. Building on the Institutional Collective Action framework, we examine the scope of the collaborative networks formed by US cities around issues of climate and energy sustainability. Drawing data from the integrated city sustainability database, our analysis finds that the number of partners a city collaborates with on climate and energy issues is influenced by city administrative capacity and community stakeholder support; on average, cities with greater capacity and more interest group support engage a larger number of partners. These findings have theoretical and practical implications for understanding the use of collaborative networks to resolve coordination and cooperation problems.

Title: Analyzing the costs and benefits of distributed solar energy in Virginia (USA): a case study of collaborative energy planning
Abstract: 
 Solar energy policy has become controversial in Virginia and many other states. Proponents point to its environmental, public health, and economic development benefits, and argue that it can help support electric grid operations. However, detractors, including many electric utilities, contend that the growth of customer-owned, distributed solar energy systems will create costs that must be passed on to ratepayers. This article presents a case study in which the authors led a multi-faceted Solar Stakeholder Group to evaluate the costs and benefits of distributed solar energy in Virginia. We examine this project in the context of collaborative planning theory, finding that it created shared learning among participants and facilitated greater understanding of opposing viewpoints, but did not produce a consensus vision for future action. We also note some of the Stakeholder Group's broader contributions to the &#x2018;value-of-solar&#x2019; debate and discuss its implications for future distributed solar energy efforts in Virginia.

Title: Analysing institutional change in environmental governance: exploring the concept of ‘institutional work’
Abstract: 
 Institutional work focuses on the role of actors in creating, maintaining, or disrupting institutional structures. The concept has its origin in organisational studies. In this paper, we rethink and redefine institutional work to make it fit for use in the multi-actor and multi-level context of environmental governance. We survey key approaches to institutional change in the literature, and argue that institutional work should have a central place within this theorising. Drawing on the insights from this literature, we argue that studying institutional work should involve a look at both the actions taken by actors, as well as the resulting effects. We identify a critical need for attention to the fundamentally political character of institutional work, the cumulative effects of action taken by multiple actors, and communicative and discursive dimensions. Overall, the concept of institutional work opens up new possibilities for unpacking the longstanding challenge of understanding institutional change in environmental governance.

Title: Adapting to new realities: an analysis of institutional work in three cases of Dutch infrastructure planning
Abstract: 
 The social and institutional context of infrastructure planning has shifted tremendously over recent decades. From top–down implementation, infrastructure planners are now forced to incorporate the demands and wishes of citizens and other external stakeholders. This paper adopts the analytical perspective of institutional work to analyse how a number of Dutch infrastructure planning organisations try to remain in control over these changes in their institutional context. Building on social systems thinking, this paper distinguishes three environments in which this control can play out: the internal environment over which an organisation has complete control, an external environment over which an organisation has little control and a transactional environment where the organisation, through its interactions with other actors, can influence institutional development. The paper concludes that while most forms of institutional work applied by the infrastructure planning organisations under study aim to change the organisations’ interactions with stakeholders, the forms of institutional work are predominantly located within the internal environment of planning organisations.

Title: A new role for citizens’ initiatives: the difficulties in co-creating institutional change in urban planning
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we analyze the institutional work that underlies the attempt to institutionalize a more active role of citizens in urban planning. We draw on a case in which a group of citizens aims to redevelop a brownfield site into a vital urban area. This citizens’ initiative is co-creating a new form of urban planning with the municipality, private organizations and individual citizens. The study shows how citizens’ initiatives can be a driver for institutional change, but that uncertainties about new institutions tend to reinforce the maintenance of existing ones. This paradox explains why even if the ambition for a new form of planning is widely shared, actually realizing institutional change can still be difficult and time-consuming.

Title: Mapping institutional work as a method for local strategy; learning from boom/bust dynamics in the Canadian west
Abstract: 
 We investigate the potential of mapping institutional work in communities as a method for both analyzing and formulating local development strategy. Twelve Canadian case communities experiencing dramatic ups and downs (‘boom and bust towns’) serve as the empirical base. Analytically, we find that institutional work for strategy takes on very diverse forms, some of them not described in the literature, and further identify a special class of institutional work associated with leadership. Normatively, we demonstrate that mapping institutional work can be a structured process of self-reflection underpinning strategy. For the Canadian case study, we find that lack of local autonomy is often a stumbling block for strategy. More broadly, we conclude that mapping institutional work for strategy works best when governance evolutions are grasped as context, and when strategy itself is understood in its complex, multifaceted nature: a narrative, a way of linking institutions, and an institution in itself.

Title: Meaning work: reworking institutional meanings for environmental governance
Abstract: 
 Effective environmental governance requires institutional change. While some actors work to change institutions, others resist change by defending and maintaining institutions. Much of this institutional work is ‘meaning work’, which we define as the practice of crafting, adapting, connecting and performing meanings to purposively create, maintain or disrupt institutions. This paper constructs a concept of meaning work that highlights agency in carrying meanings across scales and between discursive layers, while noting the structuring role of prevailing discourses. It grounds the concept using two environmental governance cases at very different scales: a local democratic innovation employed by Noosa Council in Queensland, Australia; and the international campaign to divest from fossil fuels. The cases demonstrate the diversity of meaning work and the difficulty of achieving deep discursive change. They point to the need for environmental governance practitioners to rework existing meanings to construct compelling stories for change, taking advantage of narrative openings.

Title: A narrative perspective on institutional work in environmental governance – insights from a beach nourishment case study in Sweden
Abstract: 
 Institutional work offers a promising lens for understanding institutional change, focusing on the efforts of actors in creating, maintaining or disrupting institutions. In this paper, we explore the capacity of a narrative approach to provide insights on institutional work, using a case study from the coast of Sweden. We identify four narratives that compete in the policy discourse regarding erosion and beach nourishment in the coastal province of Scania. The narratives reveal that actors hold different beliefs concerning the magnitude of the erosion problem, the division of responsibilities and the suitability of sand nourishment as a coastal protection measure. The narrative competition is considered reflective of past institutional discussions and ongoing institutional work in coastal management in Scania, confirming that narratives are used as sense-making and meaning-giving devices in institutional discussions.

Title: Working on learning: how the institutional rules of environmental governance matter
Abstract: 
 Learning among actors engaged in environmental governance can be a critical pathway toward institutional change. Learning, however, is often unintentional or idiosyncratic in environmental governance. This paper considers how the rules structuring an environmental governance process can enable or constrain the institutional work of learning. We draw insights from theories of learning and from the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework's rule typology to identify how particular types of rules matter in learning. We examine how these insights can help uncover lessons from five empirical studies of learning in the environmental governance literature. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of our analysis for devising rules of environmental governance to intentionally foster learning.

Title: The Enlivenment of institutions: emotional work and the emergence of contemporary land commons in the Carpathian Mountains
Abstract: 
 Using the case of forest and pasture commons in the Carpathian Mountains, this paper examines the emotional work carried out in institutions, in creating and changing rules, accessing resources, in leadership and contestation processes. The recent restitution of land commons in Romania has created possibilities for participation in the field of relations that shape environments and governance. This paper brings empirical research, based on extensive fieldwork, to showcase disputes over grazing areas, allegations of deforestation and ecological neglect. The ethnographic approach helps reveal the intricate processes by which actors create, experience and rework institutions bottom-up. This paper argues for an enlivened approach to institutions as complex, emergent and relational entities. Using the lens of a relational-vitalist ontology, it emphasizes the depth and subtlety of activities carried out by people that bring forth institutions, and draws attention to the interconnectedness of productive, political and emotional labour.

Title: The struggle for local autonomy in biodiversity conservation governance
Abstract: 
 Institutional change is typically needed to address the suite of sustainability challenges currently facing rural areas. Institutional work is a potentially valuable lens to advance such change. By examining a case study of biodiversity conservation from the Canadian Prairies, this article illuminates the patterns and processes of institutional work apparent over time as local actors struggle to improve their autonomy in conservation governance - a feature thought to be particularly important to advance sustainability. The article finds that institutional work progressed through three phases of maintaining, disrupting and crafting at various levels of organization. Local actors became increasingly involved as the phases progressed; however, they continue to struggle for improved autonomy in decision making processes. The article demonstrates one pathway towards local autonomy in conservation governance, but also highlights the continued challenges faced by local actors in pursing such autonomy.

Title: Institutional work in environmental governance
Abstract: 
 In this Special Issue, we interrogate and evaluate the concept of institutional work in the domain of environmental governance, by bringing together diverse papers spanning a range of substantive and theoretical approaches. The papers apply the concept of institutional work across fields of regional development, water governance, climate change adaptation, and urban planning, and disciplines of planning, sociology, political science, geography, and anthropology. As a whole, the Special Issue contributes to a growing body of literature exploring the role of agency in processes of institutional change. This has implications for environmental governance scholarship, which emphasises the role of institutions across all scales from local to global and to understanding transformations in governance systems within which institutional change plays a central role.

Title: A review of structural approach to flood management in coastal megacities of developing nations: current research and future directions
Abstract: 
 Flooding is a major environmental problem around the world. The problem is expected to worsen with climate change, particularly in coastal megacities of developing nations (CMDN), where vulnerability to extreme weather events is high and flood management capacity is weak. This systematic literature review focuses on structural approaches to flood management in CMDN as most of these cities rely heavily on them. The review covers the last two decades, being the period 1998–2018. Results reveal key areas of research, which are discussed within two broad categories of focus (1) establishment of new flood control projects and (2) management of existing flood control infrastructure. Several directions are suggested to guide future research efforts.Keywords: coastal; megacities; developing nations; flood management; structural measures

Title: Impact of knowledge absorptive capacity on corporate sustainability with mediating role of CSR: analysis from the Asian context
Abstract: 
 Considering the growing awareness about sustainable development among various stakeholders, the present study aims to examine the impact of employees’ knowledge absorptive capacity (KAC) on firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices for accomplishing corporate sustainability performance (CSP) goals by following the absorptive capacity and green theory. Data were collected using a convenience sampling technique from 587 ISO-certified manufacturing Multinational Corporations (MNCs) from the Asia Pacific region, including those from China, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Middle East, and Taiwan. It was analysed using partial least squares structural equation modeling and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). As per the results, KAC is positively correlated with CSR activities and significantly impacts CSP. Second, CSR was found to have a considerable mediating impact. Third, importance-performance map analysis indicated that the performance of KAC is relatively higher than CSR for CSP. Furthermore, fsQCA results validate the robustness of constructs towards CSP.

Title: Sustainable solid waste management in developing countries: a study of institutional strengthening for solid waste management in Johannesburg, South Africa
Abstract: 
 This paper discusses the impacts of solid waste on human health and environmental wellbeing in Johannesburg, South Africa. Using both secondary and primary data collected through semi-structured interviews with members of a local community of Windsor, municipal officials and other stakeholders involved in solid waste management (SWM) in Johannesburg, it finds that mismanagement of solid waste negatively affects the urban environment and human health, leading to reduced productivity and economic growth. Further, it is argued that ineffective SWM must be seen as a consequence both of institutionalised failure to implement and enforce urban policies and regulations and a parallel failure to recognise the importance of private agents and community participation in urban development and management. Developing an effective and sustainable SWM system in Johannesburg requires city authorities to devolve resources and authority to local level along with clear guidelines and strategies to strengthen local management processes.

Title: Containing urban expansion in China: the case of Nanjing
Abstract: 
 Rapid urban expansion often has negative social, environmental, and ecological consequences. In China, urbanization rates have increased rapidly over the past decades, commensurate with economic growth. This article evaluates how Chinese urban planning was effective in containing urban expansion. To this end, we examined discrepancies between the Land Use Master Plan (LUMP) and the actual land use developments between the years 1996 and 2014, and analyzed them in relation to demographic and land-use change. Our findings reveal that the initial aim outlined in the LUMP proved, from the start, difficult to implement and that certain targets were either not met or surpassed. Remarkable is that the rates of land used for urbanization strongly exceed those of urban population growth. Explanations are sought in a combination of decentralization, marketization and globalization. We argue that urban growth management is challenged by the shift from the centrally planned system to a more market-oriented governance system, with the slowly increasing autonomy of local governments, which creates incentives for the latter to stimulate urbanization rather than to control it.

Title: Municipal solid waste management, household and local government participation: a cross country analysis
Abstract: 
 We envisage the waste management strategy of the local bodies as one of sharing different responsibilities with households along different stages of the process viz., collection, processing and disposal. This difference arises in terms of the variants of Pay-as-You-Throw scheme, recycling arrangements for non-biodegradable waste and treatment options for organic waste. In this article, we account for this policy heterogeneity by locating the waste management practices adopted by different municipal authorities in an integrated strategic framework. We use information on waste management services from country case studies to identify the variations in the sharing arrangements between households and the municipalities in urban areas of low, middle and high-income countries. Our results suggest that an efficient market in waste management might be associated with the degree of apportionment of cost of waste processing by involving households in the primary disposal and private entities in final disposal in the presence of economic instruments.

Title: Sustainability assessment of a bus system in a mid-sized municipality
Abstract: 
 Transportation has significant economic, social and environmental impacts and is an important dimension of urban sustainability. Public transportation is recognisably a smart, efficient and sustainable mode of transportation. This paper describes a multi-criteria analysis to assess the sustainable performance of a bus transportation system in a Portuguese mid-sized municipality. The assessment is based on a list of 18 environmental, social, economic and institutional indicators. A group of specialists and political stakeholders defined the relative importance of these indicators. Results showed significant disparities in the sustainable performance of the analysed bus system. Political stakeholders were more sensitive to institutional indicators while specialists were more concerned with operational issues. The research also indicates that the institutional dimension is important for assessing the sustainability of a bus transportation system. The method proves to be useful for identifying the main problems of a bus transportation system and for supporting policies to mitigate these problems.

Title: Are local administrations really in charge of flood risk management governance? The Spanish Mediterranean coastline and its institutional vulnerability issues
Abstract: 
 Over recent decades, the number of people and the capital invested in flood-prone areas has undergone a significant increase worldwide, particularly in coastal areas. There are several studies that show how the influence of socio-economic factors over local planning authorities seems to be the main reason for exposure increase. This paper explores the causes and consequences of inefficient flood risk governance along the Spanish Mediterranean coastal municipalities. For that purpose, national and regional flood management policies were contrasted with the outcomes of a spatial intersection between cadastral data at local level and floodable areas, for different return periods (10, 50, 100 and 500 years). The results demonstrate a significant growth in exposure due to inefficient spatial planning and flood reduction strategies.

Title: ARIMA models as an alternative to predict the diffusion of the ISO 14001 standard in Europe
Abstract: 
 The diffusion of ISO 14001 has been modelling with logistic models to predict certifications. However, some alternatives for this model have been tested. Thus, this work tested an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model as an alternative to predict ISO 14001 certification in Europe. For this, the time series were constructed from the diffusion of the countries and the models were tested for the foremost fit and accuracy. Therefore, ARIMA models have adapted to the different states of diffusion of the countries in Europe, highlighting the countries with the highest number of certifications, such as Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom. In addition, the model was able to adjust to the countries that presented decertification, such as Spain and Romania. The ARIMA model also showed an accuracy of 90% for some countries and can be used as an alternative to modelling diffusion data for ISO 14001 standards.

Title: Local communities’ perceptions and use of urban green infrastructure in two Ethiopian cities: Bahir Dar and Hawassa
Abstract: 
 The main objective of this study is to examine local communities’ perceptions and use of green infrastructure (GI) in two case study cities: Bahir Dar and Hawassa in Ethiopia. The study employed a binary logistic regression model to identify factors that affect perceptions of GI. The result shows that people have distinct patterns of usage and positive perceptions towards GI in their respective cities. The regression results show that gender, age, accessibility, safety, education level, type of green infrastructure, level of awareness, location and opportunities for social activities are statistically significant predictors of perception. It is evident that urban GI development that addresses local communities’ perceptions needs to be sensitive to these variables.

Title: Sources of uncertainties in environmental assessment: Lessons about uncertainty disclosure and communication from an oil sands extraction project in Northern Alberta
Abstract: 
 This study investigates practices of uncertainty disclosure and communication in Canadian environmental assessment (EA) in the context of the Joslyn North Oil Sands Mine project. Nineteen interviews with project stakeholders were conducted, revealing significant uncertainties about the project, attributed to multiple factors including lack of clarity in the terms of reference and requirements of the proponent; the project’s predicted impacts and proponent commitments to mitigation; cumulative effects and the potential for effects interaction with other projects; Aboriginal engagement, including engagement processes and broader socio-political context; and poor uncertainty disclosure and communication practices. Some uncertainties were disclosed but at times downplayed to render the project more palatable through the EA process. Informants stated that this is not an uncommon occurrence in oil sands EA. Recommendations to improve uncertainty disclosure and communication in EA and enhance the consideration of uncertainties in decision-making are provided.

Title: Economic valuation of grazing management practices: discrete choice modeling in pastoral systems of Kenya
Abstract: 
 This study estimates the economic contribution of grazing management practices in pastoral systems by specifically undertaking an economic analysis of pastoralists’ preferences for grazing management practices and the economic value pastoralists place on them. The study applied the discrete choice experiment technique using a D-optimal design, a multi-attribute preference elicitation method to evaluate the economic value of grazing management options practiced in pastoral areas of Kenya. The results show that pastoral communities derive positive utility in connected systems that enable reciprocal access to resources in both wet and dry seasons. Pastoralism adapts to spatial–temporal variability of pasture and water through herd mobility; hence the positive utility derived from practices that contribute to the availability of adequate water and pasture across the seasons. These findings provide empirical evidence on the social and economic net benefits of rangeland management practices that should be enhanced to promote sustainable management of rangeland resources.

Title: Analysis of a below-water aggregate mining case study in Ontario, Canada using values-centric online citizen participation
Abstract: 
 Citizen perspectives on a controversial aggregate mining application amendment are elicited using an online participatory platform P2P-Surveys. The interface uses interactive visual cues to focus the subject’s attention on their social values framework as a decision-aide. Interactive elements encourage learning by providing values feedback and then allowing the subject to adjust their preference input or to change the values-modeling parameters prior to submitting their responses. Individual preference rankings are then aggregated using a Modified Borda Count for subsets of the participants. The resulting group preference rankings provide insights useful to researchers interested in the interface between social values and environmental decision making, and for decision makers who wish to harness citizen input for integrated decision making. A real-life case study for citizen input into a below-water aggregate mining controversy in Southern Ontario, Canada, is utilized to explain this new methodology and to demonstrate the useful information generated to assist in resources management decision making.

Title: Diverse pathways—common phenomena: comparing transitions of urban rainwater harvesting systems in Stockholm, Berlin and Barcelona
Abstract: 
 Urban rainwater management is the terrain of varied initiatives that challenge existing drainage systems. The initiatives that this article refers to as Urban Rainwater Harvesting (URH), promise a more sustainable urban water approach; however, they remain isolated “niche” projects. The article aims to investigate challenges and opportunities for mainstreaming alternative URHs as sociotechnical systems (STS). It identifies six analytical categories: context, actors, instruments, processes/dynamics, outputs and impacts as a framework for the analyses of URH projects in Stockholm, Berlin and Barcelona. Despite the diversity of socio-spatial contexts, driving forces, purposes, instruments used, technical designs and scale of URH projects, relevant factors for a breakthrough of these systems are discussed. Even though URHs have not yet become a common component of rainwater management in any of the cities, context-specific combinations of these factors are found to be essential if these systems are to become complementary options for the sustainable management of rainwater in cities.

Title: Definition and measurement of the circular economy’s regional impact
Abstract: 
 It has been argued that the circular economy (CE) represents an opportunity to achieve a paradigm shift in territory from the current linear model to a low-carbon, zero-waste economy. In this context, the implementation of the CE is holistically analysed to measure its impact and contribute to the debate about regional environmental management from the different perspectives of society, public administrations, and the private sector. Through a qualitative case study of a Spanish region, the main barriers of CE, such as the lack of funding for undertaking investments and the supply of recycled products, are identified, and the organisation of a waste-exchange system between companies or awareness campaigns concerning the CE are considered relevant incentives to be included in regional planning and management. This study confirms the economic and social win for CE that will be more effective as more CE activities are implemented at regional level.

Title: Local-scale climate change stressors and policy response: the case of Homer, Alaska
Abstract: 
 Northern communities are experiencing greater climate variability, with extreme climate impacts occurring more frequently and with more intensity; with the need for adaptation to reduce the risk becoming more immediate. Specific stressors and decision dynamics surrounding the nature of local government policy and planning for climate adaptation are underrepresented in the scholarship. This paper seeks to contribute to the literature by exploring the case of Homer, Alaska. Through narratives of key informants connected to the community’s climate change agenda, this research explores primary climate stressors and the nature of adaptation policy integration. Findings suggests that while Homer is experiencing a variety of climate change impacts, adaptation remains a low priority for city officials. This study sheds light on some of the challenges of integrating climate adaptation policy with strategic community planning, and in turn provides decision-makers with insight into considerations for mainstreaming resilience thinking at a local government scale.

Title: Social innovation, sustainability and the governance of protected areas: revealing theory as it plays out in practice in Costa Rica
Abstract: 
 Protected areas (PAs) are social-ecological systems (SES) and are contested spaces. The challenges in governing PAs call for a governance system that works with human-nature relations and is capable of adapting to each PA. This necessitates innovative processes and adaptive governance. This paper contributes to the discussion on adaptive governance in SES by offering empirical evidence from Costa Rica on how the processes of social innovation occur in practice. We discuss the evolving governance of the Juan Castro Blanco National Water Park, particularly the contribution of a local association that drives conservation and management of the park. We show that social mobilisation caused social innovation, which was revealed by the achievement of three interconnected process outcomes: satisfaction of interests; effective socio-political arrangements; and empowerment. The socially-innovative governance of the park has contributed to sustainability and to social-ecological change at many levels.

Title: Stormwater management actions under regulatory pressure: a case study of southeast Wisconsin
Abstract: 
 In the United States, new legislation has given regulatory authorities greater oversight of municipal stormwater management programs. However, estimating the impact of greater oversight on municipal actions is difficult due to the uncertainty in current compliance efforts and their associated costs. This paper seeks to fill this gap through a case study of NPDES stormwater runoff permit reports from municipalities in Southeast Wisconsin. Specifically, this study evaluates the reported actions and expenditures against socioeconomic variables to identify the relationships between cost, socioeconomics, and the best management practices (BMPs) used for compliance. Results indicate that there are distinct differences between municipalities with and without financial and personnel resources, clear high- and low-cost BMPs, and large variation in the practices municipalities implement to meet regulatory requirements. Furthermore, results suggest that regulators should take a flexible and pragmatic approach that considers individual municipal constraints and limitations when exercising greater regulatory authority.

Title: Five things government can do to encourage local food contingency plans
Abstract: 
 Severe weather events pose significant risks to food supply chains that are reliant upon critical infrastructures such as road and rail. Can local food procurement arrangements, and contingency plans based on those arrangements, help to ameliorate food shortage in times of crisis? This article explores how governments can empower communities to this end. A broader research project provides the basis of insights and recommendations to aid policy practitioners who seek to develop food-related disaster resilience at the community level. The findings call for the following: the adoption of policies that facilitate the procurement of local food; informing council planning; facilitating shared control with those who want these changes to occur; removing the barriers to change; and utilising a suite of consultation and engagement policies to these ends. It is argued that the Australian regional context of South-East Queensland, with its inherent issues of rapid population growth, has immediate relevance to international contexts.

Title: Institutional factors affecting urban green space provision – from a local government revenue perspective
Abstract: 
 Statutory land-use planning allocates different uses of land resources. However, local governments may focus on economic development and financial revenue, leading to environmentally unfavourable outcomes, such as a shortage of public urban green space (UGS). Land resource allocation in planning is associated with institutional arrangements. This study aims to link the corresponding institutional factors under the themes of initial land ownership and governing instruments to the fiscal effect of UGS provision. A comparative study with different scenarios is conducted using land market data to demonstrate quantitatively the influence of such factors on government revenue. The results suggest that the situation with initial public land ownership status backed up by regulatory instruments is more advantageous for providing UGS than that with the initial private land ownership status relying on market-based instruments. The study identifies the characteristics of different institutional arrangements, outlining institutional changes and possible strategies for improving urban sustainability.

Title: Exploring the link between flood risk perception and public support for funding on flood mitigation policies
Abstract: 
 Obtaining the support of affected stakeholders is a crucial first step to successful implementation of any public policy, including flood mitigation policies. Public support for flood mitigation policies is largely influenced by flood risk perceptions and flood risk perceptions are, in turn, shaped by a multitude of factors. This paper explores the impact of the determinants of risk perception on willingness to pay for flood risk prevention in Dunkerque (France) using a contingent valuation survey. We find that whether or not respondents include their home within their perceived flood risk areas, trust in flood mitigation measures, environmental beliefs and socio-economic factors are strong predictors of public support for flood risk prevention, whereas actual distance of a respondent’s home to the flood source, knowledge of flood risk, prior experience and trust in local authorities have a limited influence. Policy implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Title: Why do counties adopt transfer of development rights programs?
Abstract: 
 Transfer of development rights (TDR) programs are widely-used market-based tools for growth management efforts that seek to protect farmland, natural areas, and other open spaces threatened by development pressure. Yet, little is known about why local governments adopt, or do not adopt TDR. This study uses descriptive analysis and logistic regression modeling to identify local factors associated with the adoption of TDR by Florida counties from the 1970s to the 2010s. We find that counties that adopt TDR tend to be larger in size, with higher agricultural product sales, and voter-supported land conservation ballot measures. TDR adoption is also associated with home rule authority and a greater percentage of Republican voters, suggesting that market-based mechanisms are linked to both local ability to adopt innovative planning strategies, and to political conservatism. Overall, TDR appears to be a tool that developed counties use to rationalize growth across large areas.

Title: Greenways, recreational access and landowner willingness to accept: a contingent valuation study of farmers in Ireland
Abstract: 
 There are ambitious plans to construct an extensive network of off-road walking and cycling routes, known as greenways, across Ireland. However, land acquisition has proven challenging in some rural areas. This paper uses a contingent valuation study, based on the Teagasc National Farm Survey (NFS) of Ireland, to explore farmers’ willingness to participate in greenway development. The results reveal that farmers are split on the issue of greenway land acquisition: approximately half would not allow a route to run through their farm, irrespective of compensation. Farmers’ main concerns in this regard are: insurance, impact on farming operations and nuisance/crime. Of the farmers willing to participate in greenway development, the mean (once-off) payment required is €56,000 per kilometre of greenway length. These findings suggest that Irish Government agencies and local authorities must work to alleviate farmers’ concerns and undertake extensive consultation to yield acceptable route options.

Title: Discourses on sustainable forest management and effects of Natura 2000: a case study of Catalonia, NE Spain
Abstract: 
 This study analyzed discourses influencing the meaning of Sustainable Forest Management in Catalonia (Spain) and the effects of the European Natura 2000 policy on these discourses. It focused on the Montseny area and on the Administration and Practitioner stakeholder groups. Based on literature review and interviews, we found six discourses influencing the meanings of Sustainable Forest Management. Two of these discourses underwent changes due to the effects of Natura 2000 implementation while the others did not, showing the substantial role played by local elements and actors in shaping the discursive framework of Sustainable Forest Management. Based on empirical findings, the study provided conclusions valid at European level: (1) implementing Natura 2000 does not mean revolutionizing local nature conservation systems, but rather adapting them to European requirements; (2) in order to increase local policy impact, the implementation of European environmental policies needs to be backed up by economic compensation of local actors.

Title: Barriers to sharing water quality data: experiences from the Shale Network
Abstract: 
 The Shale Network is a group of stakeholders collating, publishing, and conducting research on water quality data collected in the northeastern United States experiencing natural gas extraction from shale using hydraulic fracturing. In developing the Shale Network, we have experienced reluctance to share data from all participating sectors. This paper explores this reluctance, identifying barriers to greater collaboration among multiple stakeholders in natural resource management projects. Findings are derived from participant observation of the Shale Network team, surveys conducted during Shale Network workshops, interviews with water quality stakeholders, and participant observation of water quality monitoring training sessions. The barriers identified include perceptions about data problems and quality, technical capacity, regulatory and legal limitations, competition for resources, and resource allocation decisions. This paper identifies strategies the Shale Network has used to overcome data-sharing barriers to expand a culture of data sharing that supports enhanced nature resource management and citizen engagement.

Title: An examination of the efficacy of the precautionary principle as a robust environmental planning and management protocol
Abstract: 
 The precautionary principle is regularly cited in cases that involve development in eco-sensitive locations. We investigated whether the precautionary principle provides the basis for a coherent framework to prevent environmental harm, and does it work in practice? We suggest that, in principle, the precautionary principle makes good sense. In practice, however, it is imprecise in policy and law and fails to fulfil its promise because it is loosely defined and thus lacks substance and clarity. Consequently, it operates in a framework that is ambiguous, leaving it open to manipulation by discretionary powers. To counter such deficiencies, human-induced environmental harm should be formally observed as ‘criminogenic’ and environmental protection prioritised against which other competing priorities (e.g., ‘year on year’ economic growth) are measured. This would overcome the politico-legal obfuscation and contestations of climate change policy that currently impedes the precautionary principle's practical application.

Title: The adoption of green business practices among small US Midwestern manufacturing enterprises
Abstract: 
 Manufacturers around the world green their businesses for a variety of reasons, including competitiveness, social responsibility, and external stakeholder pressure. However, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are thought to lag behind larger ones in the adoption of green business practices. This paper explores the motivations for US Midwestern SMEs adopting a variety of green business practices, using a survey of 59 SMEs in the tool and die manufacturing industry. The majority of firms appear to be internally motivated to implement green practices – driven primarily by cost and competitiveness concerns, more than by social responsibility concerns. External coercive pressure from government or customers does not appear to be a significant motivation for these SMEs. However, informal pressure through government incentives and support programs, as well as mimetic pressure through peer learning via industry associations, appear to be more effective in helping these SMEs to further ‘go green.’

Title: The unusual suspects? Perception of underlying causes of anthropogenic climate change in coastal communities in Cambodia and Tanzania
Abstract: 
 Public perception of the underlying causes of anthropogenic climate change is a complex and subjective issue that is critical to effective risk communication. This issue is important to scientists and policymakers because of the role of individual perceptions in influencing their protective behaviour towards risk (e.g., the adoption of climate risk reduction and mitigation strategies). This cross-sectional study elucidated people's perceptions of the underlying causes of human-induced climate change in coastal communities in Cambodia and Tanzania. The multinomial logistic regression model was based on a geographically and demographically stratified national sample of 3,706 individuals conducted between March and September 2013. The distribution of the fundamental causes of anthropogenic climate change in the pooled sample was deforestation (29%), overpopulation – births and immigration (18%), greenhouse gas emissions (12%), illegal resource extraction (14%), and God's will and transgressing cultural norms (26%). Few people in both countries believed that, the usual suspect, greenhouse gas emission was the fundamental cause of anthropogenic climate change. The number of poor rural residents who indicated that deforestation was the major underlying cause of climate change was approximately three times more than members of the same sub-group who noted that greenhouse gas emissions were the underlying cause of climate change. People who had tertiary education were less likely to consider God's will and transgressing cultural norms as the underlying cause of anthropogenic climate change rather than attributing it to greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is imperative to mainstream climate change into educational curricula in both countries.

Title: Public participation in municipal solid waste source-separated collection in Guilin, China: status and influencing factors
Abstract: 
 Currently, China is facing critical problems regarding the management of municipal solid waste (MSW). The failure of existing pilot programs in implementing MSW source-separated collection highlights the need to analyze the factors significantly influencing public participation in this activity. To this end, a comprehensive analysis of MSW source-separated collection in Guilin, which is representative of wider areas located in inland China and with a GDP around the national average, was conducted. The research consisted of in-person interviews involving a questionnaire and theoretical analyses in terms of public perception, public awareness, public attitude, and willingness to pay. The analytical results identify the status of waste source-separated collection and influencing factors in implementation, and provides exercisable suggestions for decision makers in both China and more generally in industrializing countries to design promotion programs and education campaigns.

Title: Are we planning for sustainable disaster recovery? Evaluating recovery plans after the Wenchuan earthquake
Abstract: 
 This article examines local recovery plans that were created in response to the Wenchuan earthquake and then suggests ways that planners can better apply the concept of sustainability to the recovery process. We utilize a plan evaluation protocol to analyze 16 recovery plans in counties and towns that were severely affected by the earthquake. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with public officials and planners, with the qualitative data gleaned from these interviews being used to supplement the plan quality assessment. The results reveal that local recovery plans do not appear to have incorporated sufficiently the concepts of sustainability. We conclude the paper with the following recommendations: emphasizing sustainability as a policy priority during vision and goal development; developing solid databases and planning techniques; designing a diversified set of regulatory- and incentive-based policy tools suitable for local governments; enhancing social and institutional learning; and further integrating multi-level and interagency governmental units.

Title: A question of ‘fit’: local perspectives on top-down flood mitigation policies in Vermont
Abstract: 
 Despite consensus on the need to adapt to climate change, who should adapt, and how, remain open questions. While local-level actions are essential to adaptation, state and federal governments can play a substantial role in adaptation. In this paper, we investigate local perspectives on state-level flood mitigation policies in Vermont as a means of analysing what leads top-down adaptations to be effective in mobilizing local action. Drawing on interviews with town officials, we delineate local-level perspectives on Vermont's top-down policies and use those perspectives to develop a conceptual framework that presents the ‘fit’ between top-down policies and the local-level context as comprised of three components: Receptivity, Ease of Participation, and Design. We explain how these components and their interactions influence local-level action. This analysis points to how careful consideration of the components of ‘fit’ may lead to greater local-level uptake of top-down adaptation policies.

Title: Inducing pollution prevention adoption: effectiveness of the 33/50 voluntary environmental program
Abstract: 
 The Environmental Protection Agency has encouraged voluntary efforts at pollution prevention by facilities through participation in voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) such as the 33/50 program to reduce toxic releases. This paper examines the effectiveness of the 33/50 program in the adoption of pollution prevention practices and disentangles the effect of adoption from that of program participation on releases of 33/50 chemicals. Using facility-specific panel data and controlling for the endogeneity of program participation and pollution prevention adoption, we find that program participants were 38% more likely to adopt pollution prevention practices than non-participants. Program participants who adopted pollution prevention practices reduced their 33/50 releases by 52% compared to facilities that neither participated nor adopted pollution prevention. This indicates that VEPs that emphasize pollution prevention can play a complementary role in reducing toxic releases.

Title: Unexpected threat from conservation to endangered species: reflections from the front-line staff on sea turtle conservation
Abstract: 
 This study described the paradox created by the efforts of a conservation organization, which caused an emerging threat to the survival of an endangered species, as well as proposed recommendations to mitigate this paradox. In-depth interviews were conducted to investigate the problems encountered during the implementation of conservation practices by green sea turtle conservation workers (volunteers) in Lanyu, Taiwan. The staff believed that the implementation of the green sea turtle conservation measures violated the traditional cultural beliefs of the local residents (Tao/Yami ethnic group), which caused resentment by the residents towards the organization. Consequently, the residents did not cooperate with the organization and even discouraged conservation activities. In addition, green sea turtle ecotourism promoted by the conservation organization in recent years violated local customs of not having contact with green sea turtles or entering their habitats.

Title: Building contraventions and incidence of flood in the Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria
Abstract: 
 Frequent floods have led to loss of lives and destruction of property in both coastal and landlocked cities across the globe, particularly where floodplains have been developed without recourse to space standards. This paper investigated the contributions of contravention of building codes to flooding in flood-prone areas in the Lagos metropolis. Global Positioning Systems (GPSs) were used to determine the location and elevation above sea level of 1,025 buildings situated in 211 streets that were prone to flooding. The distance of buildings from drainage channels/the lagoon was determined in ArcGIS 10.2 environment. Findings revealed that building code contravention contributed significantly to flooding (r = 0.926). About 63.5% and 63.3% of sampled buildings contravened building-plot ratio and statutory setbacks from drainage channels/the lagoon, respectively. Proactive urban planning, strict enforcement of building codes and development control regulations are required to reduce flooding and its consequences in cities of developing nations where flooding has become an annual occurrence.

Title: Nodes of a peri-urban agricultural landscape at local level: an interpretation of their contribution to the eco-structure
Abstract: 
 The ecological value of some fine-scale landscape elements tends to be overlooked when they are found in highly human-influenced landscapes, such as peri-urban agricultural ones. These landscapes usually fall beyond the scope of the defined categories of landscape protection, and are thus mapped as areas of little or no ecological interest in the context of extensive analysis. In this paper, we present a method for assessing and visualizing the existing nodes in the field pattern of a peri-urban agricultural landscape. Nodes are identified from the field pattern and characterized according to the presence of relevant features and land uses from the viewpoint of their ecological functions. The method is applied in the Vega del Guadalfeo (south of Spain). Our results show an innovative map of the Vega which may be interpreted as its eco-structure; a model based on nodes to represent the ecological value of the peri-urban agricultural landscape.

Title: Ecological and economic impacts of green roofs and permeable pavements at the city level: the case of Corvallis, Oregon
Abstract: 
 A city's spatial footprint is covered by extensive impervious building roofs and paved surfaces, which contribute to greater storm-water runoff, more surface pollutants, and less carbon sequestration, hence, worse ecosystem services. This research conducts an empirical study on the ecological and economic impacts of a citywide adoption of green roofs and permeable pavements in Corvallis, OR. The effects on ecosystem services of using green roofs and pervious pavements for a low impact development are modelled using Integrated Value of Ecosystem Services Trade-offs and compared to those from the City's current conventional development without green roofs and pervious pavements. The differences are analysed for ecological impact by storm-water yield, storm-water purification, and carbon sequestration and economic impact by a cost-benefit comparison. The results indicate that low impact development, especially intensive green roofs on commercial/industrial buildings and permeable pavements for parking lots, plays a significant role, even with a higher initial implementation cost, for long-term urban sustainability.

Title: Revealing the economic channels of natural impacts: an extended input–output subsystems application to GHG gases and water use
Abstract: 
 While a small set of economic activities generates most of the direct environmental burdens, the complexity of connections within an economic system requires consideration of the effects caused by the interdependences between its different agents. To date, however, the input–output (I–O) subsystems literature has been limited to uncovering the intersectoral linkages of direct and indirect environmental impacts within an economy and the connections between sectors and private consumption have thus not attracted much attention. This paper proposes an I–O subsystems model that endogenously incorporates not only production sectors but also household consumption to capture the entire channel of environmental impacts. The empirical application focuses on carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq.) emissions and water use associated with production sectors and households defined in the I–O table for a Spanish region, Extremadura. The results highlight the key role of the effects induced by private consumption on the environmental burdens of services.

Title: Planning for compact urban forms: local growth-management approaches and their evolution over time
Abstract: 
 Urban growth is a key issue for spatial planning as it influences urban patterns and disrupts open landscapes. To effectively steer urban growth towards compact urban forms, many growth-management policies have been developed over recent decades. However, few studies have assessed how municipal policy mixes have evolved over time. In our representative Swiss-wide survey, we evaluated the prevalence and the time of introduction of 18 policies. Our results indicate that large municipalities use a broad range of reinforcing policies over decades. In contrast, small municipalities mostly rely on conventional land-use regulations. The lack of innovative, incentive-based policies casts doubt on small municipalities' ability to effectively manage urban growth. However, our analyses reveal recent efforts by small municipalities to diversify approaches to growth management and adopt innovative policies. These efforts should be supported by guiding small municipalities in their policy choices, and providing support to those lacking planning capacity.

Title: Multilevel assessment of a large-scale programme for poverty alleviation and wetland conservation: lessons from South Africa
Abstract: 
 The implementation of large-scale programmes for environment and development presents two main challenges: the tensions between both goals and the disconnect across policy levels. To contribute to overcoming these challenges, we assess a national multi-partnership programme for poverty alleviation and wetland restoration in South Africa: Working for Wetlands. We analyse this innovative polycentric programme at the macro and micro levels. At the national level, we assess the policy development and implementation model. At the local level, we analyse its impact on livelihoods and on opinions about development and the environment at a specific location. We use data from in-depth interviews across scales, household surveys (n = 47) and focus group discussions. The strengths of this programme can inform more effective design of further large-scale environment and development policies. However, critical issues originated at the national scale are likely to hinder the permanence of improvements at the micro level.

Title: Green research and development (R&amp;D) investment and its impact on the market value of firms: evidence from South African mining firms
Abstract: 
 The importance of global corporate green research and development (R&amp;D) investment is gaining momentum and South Africa is no exception. This paper examines growing economic perceptions that green financial and stock-market systems result in heightened corporate hyperopia and therefore increase long-term and future green investment associated with R&amp;D. It reports on the findings of a survey of 14 South African mining firms listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange SRI index. The study found, that, these firms’ market value showed a positive association with Green R&amp;D. It also revealed increased Green R&amp;D activity among large mining firms in the country and that they are highly likely to maintain their level of such investment in the coming years. The study's outcomes thus add to the body of empirical knowledge on firm hyperopia in relation to corporate greening initiatives.

Title: Assessing the influence of urban geometry on noise propagation by using the sky view factor
Abstract: 
 The impact of traffic noise can be prevented by suitable planning measures. This study analyses the relationship between urban geometry and traffic noise, recognizing that the arrangement of buildings and streets greatly influences urban noise. The study was carried out in Braga, a medium-sized Portuguese city, by selecting locations with different urban geometries. At each site, the equivalent continuous sound level was measured. Furthermore, the urban geometry was evaluated by using the sky view factor, a parameter which shows the degree of sky obstructed by buildings. Results show an inverse proportionality between noise and the sky view factor. The highest noise levels were found in areas with a low sky view factor. The results also indicate that the sky view factor is a parameter which can potentially be used in research on urban noise.

Title: The influence of building renovation and rental housing on urban trees
Abstract: 
 Urban forest ecosystems are complex and vulnerable social–ecological systems. The relationship between urban forests and housing is particularly variable and uncertain. We examine the influence of building renovation and rental housing on public trees at the parcel and street-section scale in a residential neighbourhood in Toronto, Canada. We use empirical data describing multiple tree inventories and government open data describing building permit applications to test for effects on urban forest structure, tree mortality, and tree planting. We found that the presence and number of building permits significantly predicted mortality at both scales, while planting was positively correlated with building permits at the street-section scale only. Multi-unit parcels had significantly lower rates of planting than single-unit parcels and multi-unit housing was positively correlated with mortality at the street-section scale. These findings suggest that where concentrated changes in housing stock are occurring, substantial losses of trees and associated ecosystem services are possible.

Title: Environmental health in the complex city: a co-evolutionary approach
Abstract: 
 While public health and urban planning were closely linked in the past, today both domains are institutionally separate. In most cases, health intersects with spatial planning processes only through obligatory evaluations, such as environmental impact assessments, or restrictive environmental legislation. This institutionalisation of health criteria in most western countries has difficulty in dealing with recent environmental health challenges, leading to continual distrust and conflict between citizens and the government. This impasse has recently been discussed by academics who acknowledge the complexity of both city and health issues. It seems, however, that the full extent of the issue has not been covered yet, leading to recommendations and frameworks that are useful but fixed and retrospective. This paper moves beyond those fixed frameworks to develop a better understanding of the complexity of the current disconnect and explores ideas for a future planning approach, grounded on new ideas of co-evolutionary and adaptive planning.

Title: Testing the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis for water footprint indicator: a cross-sectional study
Abstract: 
 The water footprint analysis has become a rapidly growing field of research although little attention has been paid to its relationship with economic growth. Using the available cross-section data, this study examines how the per capita water footprint varies as a function of per capita income within the environmental Kuznets curve framework at both aggregated and disaggregated level of water footprint. In addition, the issue of omitted variables is investigated by incorporating a number of control variables. Estimation results show no evidence in favour of an inverted-U environmental Kuznets curve, but they yield, in most cases, an evolution into an N-shaped relationship. This means that water footprint rises in the beginning with incomes, then falls as nations grow wealthier to rise again at very high income levels. This calls into question the traditional economic view of income growth sustainability as it applies to water.

Title: Income and distance-decay effects on willingness to pay estimated by the contingent valuation method
Abstract: 
 This study suggests a methodology for enhancing accuracy in evaluating amenity by the contingent valuation method when household's willingness to pay (WTP) is dependent to its income and the distance between a respondent's residence and the location of a target facility. Using a linear city model, this study demonstrates the influences of income and distance-decay effects on WTP. Simulations are performed to check the validity of the model, as well as to predict consequences when income and distance-decay effects are not properly treated. Finally, the suggested methodology is applied to two real cases. The estimation results from a structural model show that the calculated total benefit varies largely when income and distance-decay effects exist and are ignored. Also, an ad hoc model generates significantly different estimates from the utility difference model this study adopted. The difference in estimates suggests that the total benefit has to be estimated by a structural model.

Title: Integrating urban ecosystem sustainability assessment into policy-making: insights from the Gold Coast City
Abstract: 
 This paper introduces a policy-making support tool called ‘Micro-level Urban-ecosystem Sustainability IndeX (MUSIX)’. The index serves as a sustainability assessment model that monitors six aspects of urban ecosystems – hydrology, ecology, pollution, location, design, and efficiency – based on parcel-scale indicators. This index is applied in a case study investigation in the Gold Coast City, Queensland, Australia. The outcomes reveal that there are major environmental problems caused by increased impervious surfaces from growing urban development in the study area. The findings suggest that increased impervious surfaces are linked to increased surface runoff, car dependency, transport-related pollution, poor public transport accessibility, and unsustainable built environment. This paper presents how the MUSIX outputs can be used to guide policy-making through the evaluation of existing policies.

Title: Planning process influences on sustainability in Ohio township plans
Abstract: 
 This study examines planning process influences on plan sustainability scores for 46 township plans in Central Ohio, in the Midwestern Region of the United States. Townships face many similar development challenges as exurban communities along with cultures and economies which straddle urban and rural perspectives. The empirical analysis shows that participation breadth is positively related to sustainability scores, while the use of the sustainability concept in the planning process is negatively related to sustainability scores. Based on the findings, we suggest that communities preparing a comprehensive plan should encourage participation by a variety of groups in the planning process. Future research should examine the manner in which the sustainability concept is incorporated into the planning process to better assess its influence.

Title: Analysis of uncertainty consideration in environmental assessment: an empirical study of Canadian EA practice
Abstract: 
 Identifying and communicating uncertainty is core to effective environmental assessment (EA). This study evaluates the extent to which uncertainties are considered and addressed in Canadian EA practice. We reviewed the environmental protection plans, follow-up programs, and panel reports (where applicable) of 12 EAs between 1995 and 2012. The types of uncertainties and levels of disclosure varied greatly. When uncertainties were acknowledged, practitioners adopted five different approaches to address them. However, uncertainties were never discussed or addressed in depth. We found a lack of suitable terminology and consistency in how uncertainties are disclosed, reflecting the need for explicit guidance, and we present recommendations for improvement. Canadian Environmental Impact Statements are not as transparent with respect to uncertainties as they should be, and uncertainties in EA need to be better considered and communicated.

Title: The importance of place in early disaster recovery: a case study of the 2013 Colorado floods
Abstract: 
 Recovery is an important but understudied phase in the disaster management cycle. Researchers have identified numerous socio-demographic factors that help explain differences in recovery among households, but are less clear on the importance of place, which we define as a household's locality and local governance. In this paper, we examine the influence of place on disaster recovery through a study of the 2013 Colorado floods. Our findings are based on data collected from interviews, observation of recovery meetings, and a survey of 96 flood-affected households. We show that place shapes a household's disaster recovery by structuring: (1) physical exposure to hazards; (2) which local government has jurisdiction over recovery decisions; (3) local planning culture and its approach to citizen participation; and (4) the strength of social capital networks. Our findings expand the recovery literature and show that place-level variables should be taken into consideration when conceptualizing household recovery and resilience.

Title: The effect of experience on choosing where to go: an application to a choice experiment on forest recreation
Abstract: 
 The main objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of experience on the choice of visits to forests in a stated discrete choice experiment. Recent literature has indicated that experiences with the environmental services valuated may increase the respondents' certainty in their choice of hypothetical alternatives. We apply two indicators of experiences: the number of visits and the number of different forests visited during the last year. Applying the generalized multinomial logit model, we find that an increase in the number of visits to forests makes respondents' choices more predictable. However, the number of different forests visited reduces the predictability of choices. Furthermore, we investigate the relationship between respondents' experience of forest recreation and the self-reported choice certainty, controlling for respondents' social-demographics and other design characteristics. Finally, we show that self-reported choice certainty is positive correlated with the scale factor, as expected.

Title: Understanding farmers' influence on land-use change using a participatory Bayesian network approach in a pre-Alpine region in Switzerland
Abstract: 
 Land-use models can be used to assess the importance of different drivers of land-use change. Local actors make land-use decisions on the basis of both biophysical and policy aspects, but they can also be considered as autonomous drivers as their attitudes and beliefs influence land-use substantially. We use a Bayesian network-based Land-use Modeling Approach (BLUMAP) to analyze influences of local actor characteristics on land-use change in a spatially explicit manner. Our analysis shows that local actor characteristics have a greater influence on land-use change than changes in agricultural policy schemes. Furthermore, focusing on the probabilities of land-use occurrence under different scenarios facilitates the quantification of influences of local actor characteristics on land-use changes and aids in the detection of where land-use changes are more likely to occur. We demonstrate that local actor characteristics could override land-use policy trends; thus, greater consideration should be paid to actors in land-use development processes.

Title: Understanding the behavioral influences behind Singapore's water management strategies
Abstract: 
 This paper aims to uncover the key behavioral influences behind two of Singapore's most successful water management strategies: (1) their high public acceptance rate of reclaimed water (marketed as ‘NEWater’), and (2) the adoption of targeted domestic water conservation behaviors. We used the Theory of Planned Behavior framework to construct a household survey that was mailed to a national sample (n = 218) obtained from the Singapore Department of Statistics. Our descriptive and path analysis results indicate that 74% of Singaporeans generally approve of NEWater, and that a positive attitude toward this municipal water technology was the most significant variable in predicting respondents' level of approval. In terms of water conservation, the most widely adopted behaviors were fixing water leaks promptly (80.8%) and monitoring water bills (80.3%). We discuss how knowledge of these key behavioral influencers can make behavior change campaigns more effective both in Singapore and other countries.

Title: Can zoning resolve nature use conflicts? The case of the Numto Nature Park in the Russian Arctic
Abstract: 
 In the Russian Arctic, nature protection is important to preserve valuable ecosystems and indigenous lifestyles against the rapidly expanding oil and gas activities. In this regard, zoning legitimately balances influential stakeholders versus weak ones, and can leverage stakeholders to exercise their rights. This study explores how various stakeholders employ zoning in the Numto Nature Park in the oil-rich Russian Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug–Yugra to advance their interests and how they use scientific information to achieve this. Through stakeholder interviews, analysis of electronic media and literature review, we conclude that a participatory and science-based zoning exercise stimulates the necessary deliberation. However, legal ambiguity, deficient law implementation and informal practices limit the zoning's potential to balance stakeholders’ interests. All the stakeholders calculatingly used scientific information to legitimize their own ambitions, activities and claims. Hence, zoning and the underlying information claims should be interpreted as both a resource and a battleground in nature-use conflicts.

Title: The evolution of regional cross-border water regimes, the case of Deltarhine
Abstract: 
 In this study, we look at the evolution of a cooperative water regime in the delta of the Rhine catchment. In a Dutch–German case study, we focus on cross-border cooperation on the local and regional scale, describing and analyzing how a remarkably resilient and robust transboundary water regime has evolved over the course of 50 years. Context-, interest- and knowledge-based explanations contribute important insights into the evolution of the Deltarhine regime, and it is shown that the legal, institutional and socio-economic context shapes and constrains regional cross-border cooperation. Surprisingly in this regard, we find that European water directives have not yet played a decisive, catalyzing role for policy harmonization across borders. Finally, we show that key individuals play a crucial role in regime formation and development. We suggest that the presence of entrepreneurs and leaders adds explanatory power to current conceptual frameworks in international river basin management, thus meriting further research.

Title: Traditional knowledge and biodiversity conservation: a case study from Byans Valley in Kailash Sacred Landscape, India
Abstract: 
 Ethnobotanical knowledge plays a significant role in plant diversity conservation and the curing of various ailments in remote rural areas of the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). A total of 53 plant species from 27 families have been documented from the Byans valley and are used traditionally for the treatment of various diseases. Valley inhabitants have maintained a symbiotic relationship between natural resources and their cultural belief system by developing sacred forests/groves which conserve the region's plant diversity pool. Information on sacred natural sites and traditional beliefs was documented in order to understand the environmental and conservationist implications of these rules and practices. The study provides comprehensive information about eroding traditional knowledge and biodiversity conservation practices. This study could be a pilot to strengthen the conservation practices and sustainable utilization of frequently used bioresources by understanding the traditional knowledge system and conservation ethics of tribal communities in the Himalayan region.

Title: Measuring the welfare cost of air pollution in Shanghai: evidence from the housing market
Abstract: 
 The purpose of this study is to quantify the marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for clean air in China. We provide the first estimate of MWTP for clean air by implementing a hedonic method using housing price and air quality data from Shanghai. Our estimates imply that air pollution has a significant and negative impact on housing price. We also find that the willingness to pay for better air quality varies significantly across different income groups. This paper helps to deepen our understanding of the economic impacts of air pollution in emerging Asian metropolises where residents are suffering from the most severe respiratory health problems.

Title: Community resilience to natural disasters in the informal settlements in Mwanza City, Tanzania
Abstract: 
 The impacts of natural disasters on communities living in hazard prone areas are wide ranging and complex. In Mwanza, steep slopes, rocky hills and river valleys are inhabited by society's poorest people. These areas are prone to natural disasters. Residents have accumulated coping mechanisms for disaster risks and impact reduction. We combine spatial data, household surveys and data from focus groups to identify and rank areas based on their exposure to major disasters. We also examine household and communal mitigation efforts in relation to these disasters. Most areas of the city are exposed to at least one of the natural disasters studied. Pre- and post-disaster risk reduction measures are influenced by the site of homesteads and the socioeconomic situation of households. Current resilience measures are skewed towards the development of physical infrastructure. The challenge of reducing disaster risks in Mwanza involves recognizing the role of non-infrastructure based factors that promote urban resilience to natural disasters.

Title: Regulatory trust and failure – a case study of coal seam gas in New South Wales, Australia
Abstract: 
 Regulatory failure occurs in diverse and complex circumstances, especially in environmental regulation. The response of policy-makers and regulators to regulatory failure often follows a predictable pattern, with the imposition of increased prescriptive regulatory approaches. This phenomenon has been described as regulatory pendulum swing. If the regulatory failure causes immediate and obvious harm to people or the environment such an approach may be appropriate. However, where the community loses trust in regulatory regimes where harm is less evident, a response of this nature may do little to restore trust. This research examined a case study of coal seam gas regulation in New South Wales, Australia, using a regulatory trust typology. The typology's dimensions of expertise, stewardship and transparency provided a useful framework to understand regulatory failure and regulatory trust, and for evaluating the responses of policy-makers and regulators to public concerns over coal seam gas development.

Title: Retrofitting residential building envelopes for energy efficiency: motivations of individual homeowners in Israel
Abstract: 
 The willingness of private individuals in Israel to invest in energy-saving retrofit of the envelope of residential buildings was studied by means of a survey. Responses show that awareness of the need to conserve energy is high, but that willingness to participate in a retrofit project is modest and is limited to relatively small outlays. The decision on whether to retrofit at all, and then how much to invest in the project, is characterized as a two-stage process in which different factors may affect the outcome of each of the two stages. The major barrier to building retrofit is the perception (justified, in most cases) that the direct economic benefit to the homeowner from the resulting energy saving is small, and that given Israel's relatively mild climate, the payback period is very long. The stamp of approval provided by a government subsidy of 25% would have a large non-proportional effect on willingness to undertake building retrofit. Funding for the subsidy could be obtained from a Pigovian levy on electricity, applied for a limited period, and its environmental benefits outweigh the cost of the subsidy itself.

Title: Soil and water conservation method adoption in a highly erosive watershed: the case of Southwest Oklahoma's Fort Cobb watershed
Abstract: 
 A major source of pollution in agricultural landscapes is surface runoff and non-point source pollution generated from agricultural production practices. In-stream, stream bank and riparian conservation/management practices can be implemented to reduce sediment loading solely or in conjunction with upland practices. Survey results from producers in the Fort Cobb Reservoir watershed, a highly erosive watershed in southwest Oklahoma with a history of state and federal conservation programs, provide information required for improving understanding of operators’ likelihood of adoption. Two models of soil and water conservation were estimated, a logit model of likelihood of enrollment and a Poisson model of the total number of practices adopted. Results reinforced previous findings that attitudes, gender and education influence conservation program enrollment. Farming experience, gender and attitudes towards conservation increased the total number of practices adopted.

Title: From smart cities to wise cities: ecological wisdom as a basis for sustainable urban development
Abstract: 
 Researchers and policy makers have proposed “smart cities” as one approach to an evolutionary transformation in urban infrastructure and management, focusing on optimizing planning and coordination through information technology systems and real-time data. How does the smart city approach compare with a potentially competing approach-ecological wisdom (EW), which is defined as a property of good design requiring minimal ecological and social intervention? Do the two approaches offer potential for productive synthesis for planning practice? We analyze academic, corporate, public intellectual, and public policy sources to present a comparative review of smart cities with “wise cities,” based on an EW framework. Through our analysis, we derive basic definitions of these two planning approaches, outline the general goals and objectives of each, and develop an overall multi-tiered framework of analysis for both approaches. We conclude by proposing potential areas of synthesis, applications for planning practice, and areas of future research.

Title: Privatization and inter-municipal cooperation in local stormwater planning and management
Abstract: 
 Decentralized approaches to environmental policy benefit from local input and knowledge, yet also place greater responsibility on local governments. Under the US Clean Water Act, thousands of municipalities are required to implement stormwater programs. Most research has focused on stormwater management strategies in large cities, but there are few studies of how smaller municipalities respond to federal mandates given their relatively limited fiscal and staffing capacities. Our work examines the prevalence of outsourcing strategies to administer stormwater programs among municipalities in Utah. We find that municipalities use a mix of in-house staffing, private consultant use, and cooperation with other municipalities to develop and administer their stormwater programs. The use of private consultants was most common among suburban cities, while all municipalities engaged in inter-municipal cooperation through county-level coalitions that take responsibility for public education programming. Reliance on the county-level coalition had the effect of distancing managers from public education activities.

Title: Social representations of mining activity after an environmental improvement program in the manganese district of Molango, in Mexico, and their implications for risk management
Abstract: 
 An environmental improvement program was implemented to reduce population exposure to manganese in the manganese mining district of Molango, in Mexico. This paper analyzes whether social representations about mining activity changed after the program and examines their implications for risk management. We used a qualitative design to compare prior with current social representations. Region residents insist that contamination affects their environment and health. In contrast, public officials and mining company staff find no evidence of harm; they regard mining as a source of regional and community development. Our findings indicate that residents know little about the environmental program. These representations hinder the achievement of cooperation agreements and risk management. We recommend that manganese risk management implements a comprehensive environmental recovery program that includes the perspectives of all the social actors. Social representation theory served to understand the discourses of social actors on manganese mining, taking into account their social context.

Title: A participatory decision support system for contaminated brownfield redevelopment: a case study from France
Abstract: 
 Currently, participatory evaluation processes using multicriteria decision aids are barely used in the context of contaminated sites, even though they are a powerful tool for supporting land-use decision-making. The aim of this paper is to show how to apply such a participatory evaluation process (mixed methods) to the redevelopment of a contaminated brownfield site in France. Following the Model for the Operationalization of Democratic Evaluation (MODE), we designed a participatory process that enabled stakeholder empowerment to implement participatory multicriteria evaluations. We show that the (Elimination and Choice Expressing Reality) ELECTRE I method can be used to select consensus-based brownfield redevelopment projects and that such a participatory process can be implemented to ensure that feasible, coherent, and transparent choices are made for other brownfield redevelopment processes.

Title: “Nature brings us extreme events, some people cause us prolonged sufferings”: the role of good governance in building community resilience to natural disasters in Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 Disaster management and resilience-building initiatives have been hypothesized as more effective when integrated with local governance structures. However, factors shaping the institutionalization of disaster management remain poorly understood. We argue that success in such initiatives cannot be achieved without compliance with good governance criteria. We applied a qualitative research methodology following a Case Study approach, and data were collected using techniques from the Participatory Rural Appraisal toolbox from the field, and government and non-government organizational sources. We found that compliance with good governance criteria, financial and technical capacity (technology, tools and know-how skills) and autonomy and cross-scale institutional linkages are necessary conditions for successful local-level disaster management. Further policy and research attention require a closer examination of the dynamics of local-level institutions, which are on the front lines of disaster management and resilience building. In particular, special attention should be given to the integration of ‘governance’ and ‘resilience’ research streams.

Title: Dissonant discourses: revealing South Africa’s policy-to-praxis challenges in the governance of coastal risk and vulnerability
Abstract: 
 Despite South Africa’s transition to democracy and policy vocabularies of co-governance, inclusivity and fairness in decision making that underpin both the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and national coastal policy – the White Paper on Sustainable Coastal Development – these principles remain elusive in the day-to-day governance of coastal risk and vulnerability. A basic quantitative investigation into the representation of civil society on government-led ‘collaborative’ forums and the application of an Argumentative Discourse Analysis (ADA) reveals that a state-centric mode of governance dominates. This mode of governance is being stimulated and reinforced by isolationistic provisions contained within South Africa’s principal coastal legislation and policy instrument: the Integrated Coastal Management Act (No. 36 of 2014 as amended). This mode of governance is, in return, amplifying coastal risk and vulnerability in South Africa more broadly.

Title: Determinants of the perceived administrative transaction costs caused by the uptake of an agri-environmental program
Abstract: 
 Farmers’ subjectively perceived that administrative transaction costs are of high importance for the uptake of agri-environmental programs with direct effects on the effectiveness and efficiency of these programs and the well-being of farmers. This paper empirically estimates private administrative transaction costs resulting from an uptake of the newly introduced grassland-based milk and meat program in Switzerland, based on farmers’ perceived administrative workload. Using ordered logit models, we analyze how the administrative tasks and farm and farmer characteristics influence the perceived administrative workload. We find that the time spent on monitoring or inspection tasks has no effect. In contrast, an outsourcing of program-related administrative tasks significantly reduces the perceived administrative workload. We also find that a better understanding of agricultural policy regulations significantly reduces the farmers’ perceived administrative workload. We recommend that public administration improve the communication of agricultural policy regulations, rather than investing in the simplification of administrative forms.

Title: Information, technology, and digitalization in China’s environmental governance
Abstract: 
 Research on the relationship between information, technology, and environmental governance in the current Information Age has gained momentum in recent years. Nevertheless, much theoretical, empirical, and normative issues remain seriously under-explored. Existing studies also tend to be predominantly based on contexts, experiences, and lessons in advanced democratic societies. What the rapid developments in new information technologies, data, and information networks might mean for environmental politics and governance in non-democratic contexts remains even more elusive. This special issue brings together some of the latest research in the context of contemporary China to shed light on some of these fundamental issues. We argue that the role of information has evolved over time as dominant approaches to environmental regulation have shifted. Yet, findings in this special issue show that how it has manifested in China thus far has been anything but straightforward. While a few parallels can be drawn between advanced democratic countries and China, many of the predictions made about the effects of data and information technologies have not been borne out in China. We raise several questions as a fruitful avenue for further research.

Title: Emerging digital environmental governance in China: the case of black and smelly waters in China
Abstract: 
 China is enlisting information communication technologies (ICTs) and citizens to address gaps in environmental management. In this paper, we empirically evaluate ICT-facilitated, citizen-generated data collection through China’s “Black and Smelly Waters Program.” Utilizing the app’s citizen reports and water quality data in Guangzhou, we assess whether the reports led to significant improvement in four common water quality indicators. We found water bodies that received citizen reports had poorer levels of water quality than those that did not receive complaints. Through a fixed effects regression model, we find that COD levels decreased by 36.3% and 38.9% five and six months after reports were made. We did not observe a significant effect on other water indicators considered. We conclude that China’s preliminary experience suggests ICT-enabled citizen engagement, combined with strengthening governance through political avenues, may enable governments to overcome challenges related to implementing top-down policies and fostering civic participation.

Title: Is fighting with data enough? Prospects for transformative citizen science in the Chinese Anthropocene
Abstract: 
 The practice of citizen science (CS) is emerging in China as an apparatus for environmental monitoring (EM). It complements the State’s EM system by ameliorating its coverage, continuity, and accuracy. It has achieved remarkable results in fostering public participation, information transparency, and accountability of State authorities. While acknowledging these achievements, we contend that such an instrumental use of CS cannot deliver the innovative solutions needed to cope with China’s socio-ecological crisis. In fact, it may reinforce the anthropocentric and technocratic vision of progress that lies at the roots of China’s – and the World’s – dramatic environmental emergency. We therefore propose a framework for transforming the practice of China’s CS beyond its current patterns. The framework is structured along three pathways: ecological awareness, emotional responsiveness, and institutional engagement. Emerging trends consistent with these pathways are introduced in the paper, and their scientific and institutional relevance discussed.

Title: Socioeconomic status, air pollution and desire for local environmental protection in China: insights from national survey data
Abstract: 
 In 2014, Chinese leaders declared “war against pollution,” leaving local governments with considerable anti-pollution mandates – and, often, with the blame for insufficient implementation. There is a lack of large-scale systematic analyses of citizens’ preferences for environmental protection by relevant government levels and the social structuration of such attitudes. This article aims first to assess associations between desire for local government to improve environmental protection, and socioeconomic status and air pollution; second, to identify indirect associations mediated by citizens’ awareness of pollution. The research was based on nationally representative survey data from 2014. Results show the lowest occupational class as less likely than higher classes to mention environmental protection when asked which local government services should increase, but as likely to express environmental risk awareness. Policymakers should consider mechanisms such as social protection, inclusion and environmental justice to enhance local environmental policy desire among lower classes and facilitate effective environmental governance.

Title: Navigating a datascape: challenges in automating environmental data disclosure in China
Abstract: 
 This article examines the current trend toward solving issues of procurement and processing of publicly disclosed pollution source data in China, where this data is characterized by heterogeneity and lack of standardization. Through ethnography and software analysis, the article examines the hidden labor entailed in automation using the case study of a Chinese e-NGO. We identify the bulk of this labor in “datascape navigation”, or the practices needed to locate, acquire and process the desired information within the infrastructure enabling the circulation of the data. The aspects of this labor are examined in relation to two data flows: enterprise environmental supervision records and information about real-time emissions. We identify several forms of unpredicted human and non-human labor entailed by both unsuccessful and successful automation attempts. We conclude that the labor involved by software automation of environmental data procurement and processing can critically impact environmental disclosure timing and quality.

Title: Engagement or control? The impact of the Chinese environmental protection bureaus’ burgeoning online presence in local environmental governance
Abstract: 
 Since 2011, Chinese environmental authorities have undertaken a project of “occupying” online spaces and social media such as Weibo. This has been analysed alternatively as an attempt to improve environmental governance, or as a new tool of control over online environmental discourses. This article investigates the use of microblogs by 172 local environmental authorities in Shandong province, whose multi-level microblogging system is seen as a model for other provinces, analysing whether this system improves environmental governance, and whether this objective is impeded by practices aimed at controlling online environmental discourse. We find limited evidence of improved environmental governance, as attested by enhanced information disclosure and citizen engagement. Instead, Environmental Protection Bureau communication appears obstructed by floods of diversionary content. We suggest that while these behaviours are likely driven by misaligned incentives and fears of triggering social unrest, they also support the goal of discursive control by occupation.

Title: Climate experimentation and the limits of top-down control: local variation of climate pilots in China
Abstract: 
 The Low-Carbon Pilot (LCP) program in China is an important national initiative aiming to facilitate climate experimentation. Thus far, 87 local governments have become climate pilots and are tasked with developing innovative climate solutions with the hope that these innovations can be applied nationally. The LCP adopts a uniquely Chinese approach to policymaking that is characterized by both bottom-up experimentation and top-down control and has been described as a success in the official discourse. However, using two case studies from Guangdong and Jilin, we show that there could be significant variation in performance and willingness to conduct experimentation among the climate pilots. The presence of variation suggests that the top-down steering mechanisms of the LCP are not conducive to climate experimentation and have the unintended consequences of encouraging risk-averse behaviors. We further show that local factors – leadership support, communities of practice, and alignment of interests – are important factors enabling success.

Title: Are Environmental Water Advisory Groups an effective form of localism?
Abstract: 
 A reduction in the legitimacy of top-down governance approaches has resulted in many government agencies using decentralised governance approaches, including localism. However, the effective implementation of localism is challenging. Localism aims to encourage innovative context-based solutions; however unanticipated implementation problems often constrain localism outcomes. There is a significant gap in our understanding of localism in practice, with a better understanding essential to improve localism design and implementation. This paper contributes to addressing this gap through an empirical examination of localism in action. Using the CLEAR framework, we evaluate the decentralised governance of environmental water in the Australian state of New South Wales, a contentious, uncertain and multi-level governance environment. Qualitative interviews with 58 Environmental Water Advisory Group members identified barriers to an effective localism approach, including issues of access and capacity development, transparency of decision-making outcomes and power inequities. This understanding enables the development of strategies for improved localism practice.

Title: Procedural influences on scientific advisory work: the case of chemical hazard characterization
Abstract: 
 The quality of science for policy depends as much on the robustness of available scientific knowledge as it does on the procedural settings and working procedures in safety agencies. Using a report on Bisphenol A as a case study, and a set of original criteria, we provide an understanding of procedural influences on the results of scientific advisory committees and about literature reviews for chemical hazard characterization. Expert elicitation revealed that three aspects are critically important for the results of the advisory activity and for the selected case study: the method used to combine different studies, the interpretation of the review results in terms of level of evidence and conclusiveness, and the choice of uncertainty factors. Our results also show how procedural settings and working procedures can promote the invisible influence of values and policy on scientific advisory activities.

Title: Dealing with uncertainty in collaborative planning: developing adaptive strategies for the IJsselmeer
Abstract: 
 Adaptive strategies to deal with uncertainty in water management are often collaboratively developed. So far, however, little attention has been paid to the influence of collaboration on handling uncertainty through adaptive planning. In this paper, we study how collaboration has influenced the handling of uncertainty through adaptive planning for water management strategies for the IJsselmeer area in the Netherlands. We show how a fixation on certainty, different perspectives among actors and unclear responsibilities between arenas affect the handling of uncertainty, and found that it is adversely affected by collaboration. The use of adaptive planning challenged current water uses and system functions, creating resistance from actors. We conclude that developing a shared problem perception, creating a common understanding of uncertainties and ensuring a clear demarcation between the water system, its societal functions and water usage, are necessary to make adaptive planning successful in handling uncertainty.

Title: The consequences of avoiding conflict: lessons from conservation planning for Europe's last wild reindeer
Abstract: 
 This paper seeks to contribute to debates on the potential for conservation planning to engage actively with conflict. Current research in conservation planning generally approaches conflict by concentrating on the challenges of securing agreement and consensus. Recent planning literature advocates approaches that are more open to conflict. In the analysis of a Norwegian regional planning process for wild reindeer conservation, we examine how planning authorities handled conflict, and in particular how planning documents portrayed conflicts expressed during the planning process. Findings show that the aim of reaching regional consensus limited the scope of planning, and led to the exclusion of difficult issues and opposing views. Instead of engaging actively with conflict, the planning authority framed opposing positions as unplannable, and failed to recognise them as legitimate. This contributed to weakening of the legitimacy of the regional plan when put to the test.

Title: Spatial and temporal distribution of illegal dumping sites in the nature protected area: the Ojców National Park, Poland
Abstract: 
 The existence of illegal dumping continues to be a worldwide problem, even in nature protected areas, and its distribution is not random. An understanding of the distribution of illegal dumping sites is crucial for the enhancement of effective waste management systems. Therefore, this study aims at a better understanding of spatial and temporal changes to illegal dumping sites in a nature protected area (the Ojców National Park) from 1994 to 2016. The most important spatial factors that control the distribution of illegal dumping sites were the distance from roads and from the field-forest edge. In the last two decades, the number of small dumping sites has increased, whereas the number of large illegal dumping sites has decreased. Moreover, this study presents a model of the potential occurrence of illegal dumping sites, which indicates places that should be under the control of the national park and of local authorities.

Title: Beyond water data: benefits to volunteers and to local water from a citizen science program
Abstract: 
 Survey results of citizen science water data collection volunteers are presented, indicating personal benefits (e.g., being in nature, helping local water quality), and suggesting potential long-term benefits of improved watershed health (e.g., behavior change). These results can inform citizen science program development and contribute to watershed planners’ understanding of the broad benefits of such programs. We suggest that respondents’ positive feelings toward the watershed's major river and desire to learn about science and nature are place-specific elements that watershed and citizen science program managers could utilize in program development. Moreover, we explore the potential of social diffusion and behavior change and suggest the need for further research in these areas. We conclude that citizen science has potential not just as a means to collect large amounts of data (cheaply), but as a means to engage citizens to make environmentally friendly decisions.

Title: Risk discourses and governance of high-level radioactive waste storage in Taiwan
Abstract: 
 Policy scholars have indicated that the quality of the solution to a perceived social problem depends on the adequacy of its framing. This paper examines how policy stakeholders and local residents frame the issue of the radioactive waste storage facility in Taiwan, the limits of institutional mechanisms in decision-making processes, and the implications of the deliberative forums undertaken by the national Stop Nukes Now organisation. The controversy illustrates the problems of a knowledge gap and the top-down procedures as well as the challenges that Taiwan faces in becoming a nuclear-free country. This case demonstrates civic society organisations’ efforts to challenge the ‘social–technical divide’ and technical experts’ prior definition of the ‘problems’ and selection of a ‘solution’. Deliberative forums enable the participation of affected communities to shape public discourses, which helps to strengthen public communication, improves citizen consciousness of nuclear waste issues, and attempts to link wider communities and public interests.

Title: Contextualisation of policy and law in sustainable urban development
Abstract: 
 The old tension between planning and law is revived in current practices of sustainable development. Urban professionals often blame central regulation for frustrating an inventive integration of local initiatives and policies. Against this background, the authors focus on the potential of ‘legal contextualisation’: the challenge of how to improve on regulation in such a way that it guides local practices in a normative sense but simultaneously enables optimal use of local – context bounded – option space. In order to make legal contextualisation researchable, the next four operational avenues of analysis are constructed in this paper: the normative dimension (requiring quality of legal norms); the relational dimension (studying the alignment of norms in different positions, such as the legislation, the court, and social compliance); the temporal dimension (searching the alignment of different moments of legal validation); and the functional dimension (making transparent the different roles that government agencies may take).

Title: Well-designed environmental regulation and firm performance: Swedish evidence on the Porter hypothesis and the effect of regulatory time strategies
Abstract: 
 Using recent data on a cross-section of Swedish chemical and pulp and paper firms, this paper provides novel empirical insights into the Porter hypothesis. Well-designed environmental regulation can stimulate firms’ innovative capabilities, while at the same time generating innovation offsets that may both offset net compliance costs and yield a competitive edge over those firms that are not affected by such regulations. In doing so, we also test the alleged effectiveness of regulatory time strategies in stimulating innovation activities of regulated firms. We find evidence for the effectiveness of such well-designed regulations: announced rather than existing regulation induces innovation and some innovation offsets. Our results imply that empirical tests of the Porter hypothesis that do not account for its dynamic nature, and that do not measure well-designed regulations, might provide misleading conclusions as to its validity.

Title: How to support the effective management of Natura 2000 sites?
Abstract: 
 In Europe, biodiversity conservation relies on the Natura 2000 network. However, it is often difficult to ensure the favourable conservation status of species and habitats due to scarce financial resources. Therefore, we examined the current management strategies and conditions of three Italian Natura 2000 sites based on a questionnaire and stakeholder meetings. Additionally, we qualitatively assessed the potential of ecosystem services provision. Then an A'WOT analysis was carried out to identify and highlight internal and external factors affecting natural and semi-natural ecosystems and the socio-economic context, aiming to propose new instruments and approaches for effective management. The analysis revealed opportunities for developing tourism and the high potential of regulating services, whereas the bureaucratic burden and a lack of funding threaten the attainment of biodiversity conservation goals. Thus, we propose that payments for ecosystem services should be considered to support the effective management of Natura 2000 sites.

Title: Heterogeneous preferences for recreation-oriented management in commercial forests: the role of citizens’ socioeconomic characteristics and recreational profiles
Abstract: 
 The management of forests for multiple benefits, such as recreational services alongside timber production, can greatly benefit from the knowledge of public preferences for management-related forest attributes. This paper investigates citizens’ recreational use and preferences for recreation-oriented management in the case of state-owned commercial forests in Finland using data from a choice experiment study. We focus on attributes related to the typical management practices applied to enhance recreation: scenic buffer zones along waters, game bird habitats, and the quality of scenery along hiking trails. Recreational use and its frequency were found to be related to citizens’ background and specific outdoor activities. The scenic buffer zones were the most important attribute to the citizens. While the recreation-enhancing practices were generally valued, respondent segments with distinct preferences were found. Preference heterogeneity was related to citizens’ socioeconomic characteristics and recreational profiles.

Title: Local air pollution and global climate change taxes: a distributional analysis for the case of Spain
Abstract: 
 Global climate change measures are difficult to implement. In this context, local air pollution measures may play an important role in the political agenda since their effects are felt more immediately by citizens. Distributional implications are one of the main barriers for implementing environmental policies. This paper explores the distributional implications of air pollution taxes and compares them to climate change taxes. For the comparison, both tax schemes were set to yield the same revenue. Methodologically, the study uses a top–down approach linking a macro model to a micro model. We find that taxes on local air pollutants are more regressive than those levied on CO2. This is because the goods implicitly taxed have a greater weight in the consumer basket of low-income groups, even if the tax revenues are recycled. Furthermore, the revenue-neutral recycle scheme increases both taxes efficiency, but, at the same time, can increase regressivity.

Title: Grid extension in German backyards: a game-theory rationale
Abstract: 
 A substantial extension of the electricity grid seems to be necessary in Germany in the coming decades for technical, economic, and ecological reasons. The increased usage of electricity from environmentally conscious sources is not undisputed and the question of where and how to extend the grid is at the centre of a controversial public discussion. One crucial point in this discussion concerns the fair sharing of the costs and benefits of such an extension. It is necessary to create a fair compensation mechanism. Therefore, an innovative mechanism is proposed in this paper that consists of cooperative game theory as well as auction elements. We interpret the German grid extension as a cooperative cost reduction game that allows the identification of fair cost shares and compensation payments. To solve the problem of non-cooperative behaviour, we propose the involvement of a sealed-bid auction. We show that this novel procedure is incentive compatible.

Title: Industrial development zone and South African environmental legal initiatives post-1994: a quest for sustainable industrial development
Abstract: 
 Many developing countries are currently undergoing increased industrialization, which has accelerated environmental degradation. This study aims to examine South Africa's industrial development path as a socio-economic strategy pursued along the rill-lines of sustainable industrial development (SID) in view of the post-1994 environmental legislative initiatives. An exploratory review guided the study analysis. As industrial development zones (IDZs), environmental sustainability research is virtually non-existent, leading to the poor understanding of this programme's role in SID. This study reveals that the government political commitment, 1996 South Africa's Constitution and National Environmental Act (No. 107 of 1998) are key pillars reconciling the environment and industrial development in diffusing apartheid legacies. Non-compliances re-occur in industries outside the IDZs due to shortage of environmental monitoring inspectors and government priorities changes. Therefore, there is need to ‘green’ IDZ stakeholders for proper environmental legislation implementation. Finally, the study highlights new potential directions for research into SID zoning.

Title: Assessing the socio-economic impacts of green/blue space, urban residential and road infrastructure projects in the Confluence (Lyon): a hedonic pricing simulation approach
Abstract: 
 Urban green/blue spaces are put under pressure as urban areas grow, develop and evolve. It is increasingly recognized, however, that green/blue spaces provide important ecosystem services, stimulate higher real estate prices and prevent flooding problems. This paper aims to assess and compare the socio-economic impacts of potential green/blue space, urban residential and road infrastructure development scenarios in the Lyon Confluence project area (France), using the Sustainable Urbanizing Landscape Development (SULD) hedonic pricing simulation model. Results show four major tendencies regarding the value-added of green/blue spaces in urban landscapes: (1) cities become more compact; (2) population densities increase; (3) real estate values rise; and (4) demographic distribution patterns change. The magnitude of these impacts depends, however, on the quality and size of the intervention, the social classes attracted to the intervention area and on the location of the intervention relative to existing residential areas, urban centres, road infrastructure and environmental amenities.

Title: Economic impact of ocean acidification on shellfish production in Europe
Abstract: 
 Ocean acidification (OA) is increasingly recognized as a major global problem. Despite the scientific evidence, economic assessments of its effects are few. This analysis is an attempt to perform a national and sub-national assessment of the economic impact of OA on mollusc production in Europe. We focus on mollusc production because the scientific evidence on the biological impact on calcifying organisms is ample relative to other types of marine organisms. In addition, Europe and its regions are significant producers of marine molluscs. By performing a partial-equilibrium analysis, we show that the highest levels of overall impact are found in the countries with the largest current production, such as France, Italy and Spain. For Europe as a whole, the annual impact will be over 1 billion USD in 2100. Due to the different production foci of the individual countries and their regions, the distribution of the impact is extremely uneven across countries and their respective regions, with the most affected sub-national regions being those on the Atlantic coast of France, which is an important region for oyster production.

Title: Converging disciplinary understandings of social aspects of resilience
Abstract: 
 Resilience thinking has developed separately in the bodies of literature on social-ecological systems, and that published principally within developmental psychology and mental health on the resilience of individuals. This paper explores what these bodies of literature might learn from the other towards a more integrated and enriched understanding of both social-ecological systems and social resilience. The psychology-based literature recognises a strong set of factors that enhance the strengths of individuals and communities, but lacks a sophisticated integration of the physical environmental context. The social-ecological systems literature offers an excellent foundation in complex adaptive systems, but tends to superimpose ecological concepts of system function onto the human domain, and needs to include an array of core social science concepts that are important to a full understanding of social-ecological systems. An example on north eastern Australia suggests how a converged understanding of social resilience could assist managers to acknowledge, enhance and foster social resilience in linked social-ecological systems.

Title: Learning for sustainability through CIDA's “Community-based pest management in Central American agriculture” project: a deliberative, experiential and iterative process
Abstract: 
 Community-based approaches to environmental management provide opportunities for public engagement in local decision-making processes. This qualitative case study examines learning as resulted from participation in CIDA's “Community-based pest management in Central American agriculture” project. Outcomes include learning about alternative farming practices, human and natural environments, and safer pesticide use. Many participants learnt how to work more effectively with rural communities. For some, this changed their perspective about life and their role in society. Activities that fostered learning outcomes, including sustainability-related outcomes, were: planning and implementing project activities, experimenting on farm demonstration plots, participating in outreach workshops, and students doing rural practica. The learning process, involving international university collaborators and rural participants, is analyzed particularly as it relates to cultural context, collective action, and sustainability. Findings affirm that how the public participates in environmental management decisions influences the breadth and depth of learning outcomes; practical and policy implications are discussed.

Title: Does community resilience mitigate loss and damage from climaterelated disasters? Evidence based on survey data
Abstract: 
 Policy-makers view community resilience as fundamental to mitigating loss and damage from climate-related disasters. Although energy has been devoted to defining resilience, less effort has been devoted to analysing the effects of resilience on loss and damage, which is critical in places with limited capacity for adaptation. We use survey data to develop a composite index of community resilience in Fiji and then evaluate the extent to which community resilience mitigates loss and damage. We find that community resilience is negatively correlated with damages over which human intervention may be effective, but not with damages over which intervention is less effective, suggesting that community resilience may limit impacts. We further find that this result holds for a cyclone (about which communities had substantial advance warning) but not for river flooding (for which communities had little advanced warning), suggesting that early warning is necessary for community resilience to become responsive.

Title: Sustainability in the USA and New Zealand: explaining and addressing the implementation gap in local government
Abstract: 
 This paper describes the frustrating reality of sustainability implementation in the USA and New Zealand (NZ), an early adopter of sustainability mandates. Local government has a key role in implementation, but has been slow to uptake sustainable practices. We surveyed senior planners in small to medium-sized local government agencies in both countries to identify which features of local government support (or hinder) sustainability in practice.Environmentally sustainable practices are not well entrenched in either country. In the USA, the framing of sustainability and public support are significant predictors of implementation. However, sustainability is rarely a priority. In NZ, local government capacity is the main driver of implementation. We recommend that planners promote sustainability values, reconcile economic development goals with sustainability (e.g., green economy model), and translate public support for sustainability into institutional priorities. NZ localities also need increased capacity and US localities need continued Federal and State support.

Title: Potential economic costs of invasive structural pests: conehead termites, , in Florida
Abstract: 
 Increased trade and human mobility result in sizable benefits to society, but are often accompanied by negative consequences, such as increased introduction of invasive pests to different landscapes and seascapes. In this paper, we couple an existing model of the biological spread of Nasutitermes corniger, an invasive neotropical termite recently introduced to Florida, with information on the costs to treat and repair affected structures, and use this coupled model to simulate the potential short-term costs of establishment of this structural pest. We construct empirical distributions of control and repair costs, using surveys of the pest control industry and homeowners, and use them to simulate treatment and damage costs through a re-sampling procedure. Our results suggest that the net present value of potential costs from an unchecked N. corniger invasion in Florida range between $6.9 and $9.9 million over the next 10 years.

Title: Coming to the table: collaborative governance and groundwater decision-making in coastal California
Abstract: 
 Collaborative governance is on the rise in the United States. This management approach brings together state and non-state actors for environmental decision-making, and it is frequently used in California for decisions regarding local groundwater management. This study examines groundwater decision-making groups and practices in a central California coastal community to understand whether groups meet specific collaborative governance criteria and whether and why certain subsets of the population are excluded from groundwater decision-making practices. It also identifies actions for better group inclusion. We find that small farmers, the Hispanic/Latino community, and the general public are often excluded from groundwater decision-making groups and practices due to unawareness, mistrust, and insufficient resources. Education and awareness as well as incentives could help increase inclusion. This study provides insights into more equitable groundwater decision-making groups and practices, and also calls for more critical examination of the current stakeholder approach to decision-making.

Title: US vehicle fuel-efficiency choices: demographic, behavioral, and cultural factors
Abstract: 
 In the United States, a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions are from personal vehicle use, and there are large differences in emissions between the most and least efficient vehicles. We use data from 2009 US National Household Travel Survey to characterize consumers who drive the most and least efficient vehicles. We calculate personal fleet efficiency based on all vehicles owned, reflecting the behavioral aspect of vehicle-use choices by owners. Though higher incomes provide the means to purchase more efficient vehicles, we find those with higher incomes more likely to drive low-efficiency vehicles. Higher education levels correlate with greater vehicle efficiency. While some efficiency differences are based on consumer characteristics such as family size, we find large differences that we attribute mostly to cultural preferences as observed by race, region, etc. From a policy perspective, these differences are of particular interest since they may be amenable to change.

Title: Direct and indirect effects of weather experiences on life satisfaction – which role for climate change expectations?
Abstract: 
 This paper deals with the effect of (1) damage experience from extreme weather events and (2) expectations concerning future climate change on subjective well-being (SWB). We use data from a large representative survey carried out amongst German households. The effect of experienced weather events on the SWB of the heads of households is significant only in the case of heat waves; the same cannot be said for storms, heavy rain, and floods. Concerns about future climate change in households have a substantial negative impact on current SWB. In addition, we divide the impact of experience into direct and indirect effects of damage, deduced from the impact of experience on expectations regarding future climate change. Both direct and indirect effects of weather experiences are quantified. It becomes apparent that the indirect effect is significant, but small when compared to the direct effect.

Title: Public regulatory relief and the adoption of environmental management systems: a European survey
Abstract: 
 An increasing number of organizations across the world have adopted Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) based on certifiable standards, notably the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) and the ISO 14001 standards. Although the specialized literature has studied the motivations, obstacles and benefits of the adoption of these standards for EMSs extensively, the impact of the public incentives on the adoption of such environmental management tools has been overlooked. In order to fill this gap in the literature, this article aims to shed light on the level of companies' knowledge and application of the main regulatory relief initiatives provided by public administrations around the EU for organizations with a certified EMS. For that purpose, this article summarizes the main findings of a survey carried out with the participation of 244 European EMAS-registered organizations. The findings of the survey highlight the fact that most of the surveyed companies have adopted or benefitted from some form of regulatory relief, mainly by making use of the measures granting an extended duration of some permits (44%), reductions in financial guarantees in the waste-treatment sector (31%) and tax reductions (26%). Moreover, it emerges that, among countries, the role of regulatory relief to support companies in the path to the adoption of EMSs is not univocal.

Title: Ecological risk and accessibility analysis to assess the impact of roads under Habitats Directive
Abstract: 
 We propose a method for the appropriate assessment of adverse effects of roads in compliance with the European Union Habitats Directive. The method incorporates an analysis of ecological risk of edge effects by the proposed roads with the related increase in accessibility. The method was tested on 30 km of planned forest roads inside an 8,000-ha reserve included in two Natura 2000 sites. As a result, the cumulative effect of 19 road segments was judged as not significantly affecting the integrity of the sites, although they made accessible an extra 314 ha. On the basis of the accessibility calculation, 20 ha of land were set aside from forest exploitation as a mandatory mitigation measure. The method objectively determined the cumulative adverse effects, enabled comparison of plan revisions and alternatives and proved to measure direct and indirect significant effects with a realistic effort in terms of field survey and geographic information system processing.

Title: A multidisciplinary sustainability index to assess transport in urban areas: a case study of Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain
Abstract: 
 The management of urban transportation systems represents one of the most formidable challenges for local government that generates several problems related to the well-being and the comfort of the public that commute and travel in their daily life. Improvements to various policies and practical measures can move us closer to the ideal of sustainable urban areas with sustainable urban transportation systems. Nevertheless, these aspirations in no way ensure unanimity over the most effective actions to take and the extent of their benefits. In response, a mathematical model has been developed for decision-taking purposes using multi-criteria analysis adapted to urban transportation systems. This model not only takes account of environmental parameters, but also examines economic, social and urban models, the characteristics and condition of the transport fleet and freight distribution vehicles, in order to generate a sustainability index value for the transportation system of urban areas.

Title: Structural factors influencing conservation decision-making: a case of species prioritisation in Australia
Abstract: 
 Prioritisation methods have been adopted for &gt;20 years to inform resource allocation in species conservation. The academic literature on prioritisation focuses on technical matters, with little attention to the socio-political factors affecting the uptake of priorities. We investigated the policy instruments employed to promote uptake, and the structural factors affecting the uptake of priorities, using as our case study a species prioritisation method adopted by the Queensland Government (Australia). We interviewed 79 key informants and analysed policy documents and plans. The Queensland Government relied on ‘information delivery’ as a policy instrument to foster uptake. We identified communication channels to assist ‘information delivery’ between Government and intended users, but also found that several structural factors limited their use: fragmentation of policies, the relative strength of alternative priorities and centralisation of power in decision-making. We discuss the results in relation to other conservation planning initiatives and suggest how structural barriers can be addressed.

Title: Monetary assessment of the recreational benefits of improved water quality – description of a new model and a case study
Abstract: 
 The European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD) has created a demand for comparing the benefits and costs of the remedial measures. A major part of the benefits from improved water quality relate to the increased recreational value. However, there is a lack of easily operative and widely applicable quantitative methods to assess the benefits of improved water quality for recreational use. We present a new model to link physical indicators of water quality, water feasibility indicators for different recreational uses, individuals’ perceptions concerning the current feasibility of water for recreational purposes and monetary measures of water-related recreation benefits. The model has been applied to nine lakes, three rivers and one large coastal area in Finland. In this paper, we present the principles of the method and the results from one case study. In Finland, the method has been applied for the economic analysis required in the WFD.

Title: Public acceptance of large-scale wind energy generation for export from Ireland to the UK: evidence from Ireland
Abstract: 
 Although international trade in energy may offer a flexible and cost effective means by which European countries could meet their renewable energy targets, developers in the exporting nation can face local opposition for reasons which are not always clear. Using focus groups and a public survey, we contrast perspectives between local stakeholders and wind farm operators and investigate the community impacts associated with large-scale wind energy for domestic use and export from Ireland to the UK. Although the export of renewable energy from Ireland to the UK is currently on hold, our findings suggest that significant investment is required by the state and wind farm operators in better information provision, trust building, effective instruments to internalise wind farm externalities and co-management arrangements before Ireland can fully capture the benefits of wind exports to the UK.

Title: The role of respondents’ comfort for variance in stated choice surveys: evidence from a SCUBA diving case
Abstract: 
 Preference elicitation among outdoor recreational users is subject to measurement errors that depend, in part, on survey planning. This study uses data from a choice experiment survey on recreational SCUBA diving to investigate whether self-reported information on respondents’ comfort when they complete surveys correlates with the error variance in stated choice models of their responses. Comfort-related variables are included in the scale functions of the scaled multinomial logit models. The hypothesis was that higher comfort reduces error variance in answers, as revealed by a higher scale parameter and vice versa. Information on, e.g., sleep and time since eating (higher comfort) correlated with scale heterogeneity, and produced lower error variance when controlled for in the model. That respondents’ comfort may influence choice behavior suggests that knowledge of the respondents’ activity patterns could be used to plan the timing of interviews to decrease error variance in choices and, hence, generate better information.

Title: Spatially explicit sensitivity and uncertainty analysis for multicriteria-based vulnerability assessment
Abstract: 
 This research analyses the application of spatially explicit sensitivity and uncertainty analysis for GIS (Geographic Information System) multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) within a multi-dimensional vulnerability assessment regarding flooding in the Salzach river catchment in Austria. The research methodology is based on a spatially explicit sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of GIS-CDA for an assessment of the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of vulnerability. The main objective of this research is to demonstrate how a unified approach of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis can be applied to minimise the associated uncertainty within each dimension of the vulnerability assessment. The methodology proposed for achieving this objective is composed of four main steps. The first step is computing criteria weights using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). In the second step, Monte Carlo simulation is applied to calculate the uncertainties associated with AHP weights. In the third step, the global sensitivity analysis (GSA) is employed in the form of a model-independent method of output variance decomposition, in which the variability of the different vulnerability assessments is apportioned to every criterion weight, generating one first-order (S) and one total effect (ST) sensitivity index map per criterion weight. Finally, in the fourth step, an ordered weighted averaging method is applied to model the final vulnerability maps. The results of this research demonstrate the robustness of spatially explicit GSA for minimising the uncertainty associated with GIS-MCDA models. Based on these results, we conclude that applying the variance-based GSA enables assessment of the importance of each input factor for the results of the GIS-MCDA method, both spatially and statistically, thus allowing us to introduce and recommend GIS-based GSA as a useful methodology for minimising the uncertainty of GIS-MCDA.

Title: Elicitation of willingness to pay for upgradeable products with calibrated auction-conjoint method
Abstract: 
 Understanding consumer preferences is a key element of new product development and sustainable consumption. Among sustainable products, we consider new products with upgradability properties. Upgradeability helps to prolong the lifespan of a product, satisfying changing consumer preferences and needs. This additional created value must be measured by willingness to pay premiums. This paper uses a method which valorizes each attribute of the product and analyzes the determinants of these premiums. A key advantage of the calibrated auction-conjoint method is the possibility of estimating numerous attributes with a large number of attribute levels. The results support the idea that consumers are willing to pay premiums for upgradeable, sustainable products, although these premiums are rather weak for some durable products in the study.

Title: Assessing the costs for adaptation of marine constructions to sea-level rise
Abstract: 
 Marine constructions are highly vulnerable to climate change and sea-level rise (SLR), leading to increased risk rates of destruction and the potential closure of ports, harbors, and marinas along the coast. We present a cost-adjustment analysis for such constructions along the south-eastern Mediterranean coast, which takes into account the physical characteristics of the constructions, and environmental uncertainty factors. At 0.5 m SLR, the estimated adjustment cost is USD 280 million, and at 1 m SLR, the estimated cost is USD 505 million. These costs are equivalent to 0.091% and 0.165% of the Israeli gross domestic production, respectively. Although high, these adjustment costs are lower than the costs of future damage that will accrue if we fail to act. This implies that the adaptation-policy approach to controlling for the risk of SLR will provide benefits to the economic marine sectors and the public at large.

Title: Benefits and challenges of using an Assessment of Ecosystem Services approach in land-use planning
Abstract: 
 This research investigates the use of an Assessment of Ecosystem Services (AES) approach as a planning tool in Florida through the use of an online survey. Target respondents were professionals who had been involved in AES projects. The majority of the respondents perceive an AES approach as a comprehensive and holistic approach that results in better land-use planning decisions. However, AES does not appear to be widely used to guide planning decisions. Despite some challenges, respondents across multiple agencies and institutions in Florida are supportive of using AES in combination with traditional land-use planning tools. More rigorous testing and validation and clarification of guidelines for best practice could improve political and economic support and thereby facilitate the use of AES to guide land-use planning efforts.

Title: On the necessity of connectivity: linking key characteristics of environmental problems with governance modes
Abstract: 
 Environmental problems are often multi-faceted and complex by nature, consisting of diverse, intertwined dimensions. In this article, we argue that environmental problem characteristics have consequences for the selection of appropriate governance modes, and finally on policy effectiveness. We rely on an in-depth literature review to proceed in two steps. First, we outline three key environmental problem characteristics: uncertainties, cause–effect mismatches and norm plurality. We then outline six different governance modes capable of producing policies and solutions to tackle challenges arising from the three problem characteristics. Next, through empirical illustrations, we demonstrate the relevance of linking governance modes to these characteristics via the introduction and articulation of the concept of ‘connectivity’, i.e., linking actors, issues, sectors and scale levels towards realizing effective policy solutions for complex environmental problems.

Title: Intertemporal soil management: revisiting the shape of the crop production function
Abstract: 
 Soil resources play a role in food security and climate change mitigation. Through their practices, farmers impact the physical, biological and chemical quality of their soil. However, farmers face a trade-off between the short-term objectives of production and profitability and the long-term objective of soil resource conservation. In this article, we investigate the conditions under which farmers have a private interest in preserving their soil quality. We use a simplified theoretical soil quality investment model, where farmers maximize their revenues under a soil quality dynamic constraint. Here, soil quality is an endogenous production factor of the crop production function. We show that the existence of an equilibrium depends on the cooperation between soil quality and productive inputs. The results are confronted to a statistical illustration in France. In this case, nitrogen fertilizers are not cooperating with soil organic carbon. Incentives to reduce nitrogen fertilizers would not trigger a negative feedback effect.

Title: The future orientation of Austria’s flood policies: from flood control to anticipatory flood risk management
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the future orientation of flood risk management in Austria. Framed by a systematic review of risk reduction measures, we assess the extent to which Austrian policies are characteristic of an anticipatory, forward-looking flood management approach to cope with expected future stresses on the flood risk, such as climate change and land development. The analysis shows that risk reduction measures build on status quo assessments and do not explicitly consider future changes in the flood hazard or vulnerability. However, new design standards for extreme events, the proliferation of large-scale flood retention, tightened land development and building restrictions, and novel planning instruments indicate that Austrian policies are increasingly forward-looking to more effectively mitigate future increases in the flood risk. This temporal reorientation is a consequence of a wider policy shift from flood control to integrated flood risk management. Faced with the increasing spatial interplay of risk reduction measures (e.g. securing land for flood runoff and flood retention), our analysis shows that inter-sectoral cooperation between water management and spatial planning can support long-term flood management decisions and maintain the ability to adapt to changing future conditions.

Title: Examining the economic impacts of integrated pest management among vegetable farmers in Southern Ghana
Abstract: 
 This study analyzes the adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies and the impact of adoption on yields and farm net returns of vegetable farmers in Southern Ghana. We employ a two-step multinomial logit model to account for selection bias that occurs when unobservable factors influence adoption of IPM and impacts on outcomes. The empirical results show that the number of years of schooling and extension contacts of farmers adopting pesticides application only have positive effects on yields, whereas credit constraints and farm size exert negative effects. Farmers adopting pest monitoring only and employing more hired labor are associated with lower yields, whereas farmer-based organizations and lettuce cultivation are associated with higher yields. Increasing the number of years of schooling of farmers adopting pesticides application only tends to increase farm net returns. Farmers with unobserved characteristics linked to lowering yields or farm net returns tend to shift to an alternative IPM component.

Title: Perspectives on the future of recycled water in California: results from interviews with water management professionals
Abstract: 
 Expanded use of recycled water has potential to improve the sustainability of water systems in areas with high water insecurity. Despite this, rates of recycled water use in California remain low. To identify barriers to expansion of recycled water use in California, we conducted open-ended interviews with a targeted sample of 12 stakeholders representing a range of viewpoints among individuals familiar with urban water management operations in California, including experts from government regulatory and public health agencies, wastewater suppliers, independent consultants, and engineers. Barriers identified by respondents related to regulations, infrastructure, funding, technology, health risks, and public perceptions. Respondents provided concrete suggestions for how to lower these barriers and insights into the roles that public health professionals could play in this effort. This work suggests that public health professionals can play a critical role in facilitating the expanded use of recycled water and improving water security and sustainability worldwide.

Title: Spatial statistical analysis of infrastructure systems in Calgary, Alberta
Abstract: 
 In this paper, the consumption of various infrastructure systems in Calgary, Alberta by residential, commercial, and industrial sectors is considered. Statistical models are developed to quantify the influences of built form factors, in addition to traditional factors of sociodemography. Analyses are performed by census community for electricity, transportation by mode of travel, and demolition permits by their size and frequency. The employment of a common methodology in a single geography allows for comparison across infrastructure systems and determination of common patterns. Assessing total consumption does not necessarily lead to a consistent interpretation. By differentiating electricity consumption by sector and transportation by mode, consistent analysis can be conducted that identifies the correct relationships. We find a trend toward increasing consumption of electricity use moving out from the center of the city, but also an increasing reliance on the private automobile.

Title: Opportunities for improving the use of an ecosystem services approach in land-use planning: experiences of professionals in Florida
Abstract: 
 This research explores the use of an Ecosystem Services (ES) approach as a land-use planning tool, its perceived benefits and challenges, and opportunities for improvement. For this study, in-depth interviews were used with 21 professionals who had been involved in projects in which ecosystem services were valuated, quantified, and/ or described in Florida. Three categories of obstacles are identified that hinder the integration of an ES approach in land-use planning. These categories are 1) method complexity; 2) communication of results; and, 3) support for ES efforts. Based on the interviewees' experiences, options to address these challenges are proposed.

Title: Modelling support to citizen observatories for strategic Danube Delta planning: Sontea-Fortuna case study
Abstract: 
 Recent research developments indicate that citizens’ observatories, a novel approach for data collection, management and governance, can provide valuable contributions to strategic delta planning processes. Most citizen observatories are limited in spatial coverage during data collection, according to the citizens’ availability and static locations. However, there are times in which citizens participate as trained volunteers during data collection field campaigns. In this later scenario, an important aspect in organising and maintaining citizen observatories is having a clear plan for data gathering activities, including determination of routes to be followed by these citizens. This article addresses the issue of determining such routes (called pathways) related to the specific problem of gathering data in deltaic areas, which are composed of intricate canals and wetlands. Data collection activities consist of citizens acquiring images and videos with mobile phones at predetermined locations (Points of Interest) that are only accessible by boats. A pathway selection approach is presented, supported by a hydrodynamic model, developed to capture the specific processes of the delta. The aim of the approach is to define: where to send the citizens to fulfil stakeholders’ interest and planning goals, how to reach these points and which pathways should be selected (prioritised based on such interests), considering possible flood patterns. The developed methodology is part of an ongoing H2020 funded research. The proof of concept is carried out in the Sontea-Fortuna area, of the Danube Delta, which, similar to many wetlands, contains a large variety of unique, endemic species. With the developed approach, pathways to be followed by citizens during data collection campaigns were generated and scored considering local interests. Analysis of the boat’s accessibility into the delta during different hydrological scenarios showed that the wetland is more accessible than expected, hence the proposed pathway approach was useful in prioritizing some canals over others. The determined pathways will be applied in field campaigns. The approach can be applied to other delta regions with different environmental problems, such as water quality or ecosystem assessment, contributing to the organisation of effective active citizen data collection.

Title: Governance conditions for successful ecological restoration of estuaries: lessons from the Dutch Haringvliet case
Abstract: 
 Ecological restoration projects may provide solutions for degraded ecosystems in estuaries, but are challenging due to complex governance processes. Scientific studies on the latter are limited. The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding of the governance process aiming at ecological restoration in estuaries. Based on a literature review, five success conditions for ecological restoration projects in estuaries were formulated. These conditions concern: (1) the presence of options for experimentation; (2) the use of the right communication strategies; (3) a pro-active role of key individuals; (4) sufficient project support; (5) active stakeholder and knowledge integration. These conditions were elaborated upon in a case study on the reopening of the sluices in the Dutch Haringvliet and by conducting seven expert interviews. The case study was a clear “example of failure” due to absence of several conditions. We conclude with some recommendations to enhance future ecological restoration projects.

Title: Voluntary urban climate programmes: should city governments be involved and, if so, how?
Abstract: 
 It has been proposed that voluntary urban climate programmes overcome shortfalls in mandatory, top-down, state-led government interventions to address climate change risks. Such programmes seek commitments from households and firms to improve their environmental sustainability, but do not have the force of law. City governments are actively developing and implementing such programmes, seeking improved and accelerated urban climate action. There is little evidence, however, of whether their involvement positively affects voluntary programme performance. This article presents qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) of 26 voluntary programmes from Australia, the Netherlands and the US, seeking to understand whether, and if so how, city governments affect the performance of voluntary urban climate programmes. The results will help to inform city governments about the roles they may play in urban climate governance.

Title: Trajectories of rewilding: A taxonomy of wildland management
Abstract: 
 Rewilding, though a young term, already has numerous meanings. We use Q-methodology to investigate understandings and practices of rewilding amongst managers of wildland on 17 estates in the Scottish uplands. The estates, covering 207,200 ha, include all the main land ownership types in Scotland. All respondents value wildness and biodiversity highly, but the Q-study reveals significant divergence in the interpretations and practices of rewilding, especially concerning (i) the value of naturalness, (ii) the use of management interventions, (iii) the value of cultural heritage and traditional land uses, and (iv) the place of people within wildland. A tripartite taxonomy of wildland management approaches is developed, identifying three ‘centres of gravity’ along the continuum of viewpoints, emphasising, respectively, nature's autonomy, active restoration, and the maintenance of wildness within cultural landscapes. The taxonomy provides an analytic framework for evaluating the diverse and often conflicting aspirations for the management of wild places.

Title: Resistance of Villages to Elevated-Road Traffic Noise
Abstract: 
 The purpose of this study is to evaluate the methods of reducing elevated-road traffic-noise levels in rural residential areas by controlling the relative locations and morphological parameters and to investigate the effect of noise barriers on noise attenuation along elevated roads and building facades in villages. This study selected six morphological parameters and used noise-mapping techniques to estimate the noise attenuation in 60 village sites. The results indicate that ‘quiet areas’ increase by approximately 10% for each additional 100 m increase in the distance between the elevated road and the village. The best strategy for noise reduction is keeping the elevated road 1,000 m away from the village and raising the road height to 20 m. The building façade conditions only affect the traffic noise level attenuation when the buildings are within 100 m of the elevated road. It was found that the cost-effective length of the road noise barrier is 600 m on both sides of the village parallel to the road. The results highlight the importance of using morphology to improve the traffic noise resistance of villages. The landscape shape indices of buildings and roads are the most important parameters that affect the traffic noise attenuation of elevated roads.

Title: Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of agro-ecological modeling for saffron plant cultivation using GIS spatial decision-making methods
Abstract: 
 The main objective of this research is to model the uncertainty associated with GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for crop suitability assessment. To achieve this goal, an integrated approach using GIS-MCDA in association with Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and global sensitivity analysis (GSA) were applied for Saffron suitability mapping in East-Azerbaijan Province in Iran. The results of this study indicated that integration of MCDA with MCS and GSA could improve modeling precision by reducing data variance. Results indicated that applying the MCS method using the local training data leads to computing the spatial correlation between criteria weights and characteristics of the study area. Results of the GSA method also allow us to obtain the priority of criteria and identify the most important criteria and the variability of outputs under uncertainty conditions for model inputs. The findings showed that, commonly used primary zoning methods, without considering the interaction effects of variables, had significant errors and uncertainty in the output of MCDA-based suitability models, which should be minimized by the advanced complementarity of sensitivity and uncertainty analysis.

Title: Citizen science on speed? Realising the triple objective of scientific rigour, policy influence and deep citizen engagement in a large-scale citizen science project on ambient air quality in Antwerp
Abstract: 
 Citizen science projects are increasingly recognised as catalyst for triggering behaviour change and building social capital around environmental issues. However, overview studies observe recurrent challenges in many citizen science projects in terms of combining high levels of data quality with deep citizen engagement and policy influence. This paper reports on the findings of the CurieuzeNeuzen project (www.CurieuzeNeuzen.eu), a large-scale citizen science project on air quality in Antwerp, delivering results in the three areas described above. Through CurieuzeNeuzen, 2,000 citizens studied the air quality levels in and around Antwerp in 2016 and were intensively deliberating on possible causes and solutions. Surveys were conducted at the start and towards the end of the project, with participants stating that their participation resulted in changed views and behaviour towards air pollution, mobility solutions, and city planning. The findings were picked-up academically and contributed to policy debates on air quality at city and regional level.

Title: Multi-level network governance of disaster risks: the case of the Metropolitan Region of the Aburra Valley (Medellin, Colombia)
Abstract: 
 Cities have increasingly been confronted with disasters, ranging from earthquakes and storms to floods and landslides. Traditional technocratic top-down approaches have proved inadequate to face disaster risks in urban agglomerations. Thus, expectations have risen that through multi-level governance, metropolitan regions could become more resilient by joining forces across scales and sectors, enabling them to implement adaptation strategies collectively. Under the leadership of the city of Medellin and integrated within the national risk governance system of Colombia, such a governance arrangement has been established in the Metropolitan Area of the Aburra Valley. Applying social network analysis, this paper analyses the institutional relationships within the multi-level risk governance network Red Riesgos. It demonstrates that the effectiveness of multi-level disaster risk governance networks depends primarily on the protagonist role of local governments and on their abilities to involve local communities and citizens and to interact constantly with higher-level authorities in the implementation process.

Title: Societal implications of sustainable energy action plans: from energy modelling to stakeholder learning
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the potential impact of sustainable energy action plans (SEAPs) on local development through a two-step methodology involving participatory planning and quantitative analysis. The first phase relies on a participatory system mapping (PSM) approach and generates a causal structure at the basis of the urban model. In the second phase, we transform the qualitative map into a system dynamic model which evaluates the effect of the SEAP on social, economic and environmental indicators. This methodology was applied to the case of Cascina Municipality (Italy). Through scenario analysis, we show that some indirect feedback can harm the achievement of the 20% emission reduction target. This process allows the local authority and stakeholders to evaluate the impact of emission reduction policies on CO2 emissions and local development, thereby generating collective learning on the systemic implications of the plan. We show that this method can enhance the ambition of emission mitigation efforts by small towns.

Title: Institutional innovation in urban governance: The case of climate change adaptation
Abstract: 
 Urban governance systems need to be adaptive to deal with emerging uncertainties and pressures, including those related to climate change. Realising adaptive urban governance systems requires attention to institutions, and in particular, processes of institutional innovation. Interestingly, understanding of how institutional innovation and change occurs remains a key conceptual weakness in urban climate change governance. This paper explores how institutional innovation in urban climate change governance can be conceptualised and analysed. We develop a heuristic involving three levels: (1) “visible” changes in institutional arrangements, (2) changes in underlying “rules-in-use”, and (3) the relationship to broader “governance dilemmas”. We then explore the utility of this heuristic through an exploratory case study of urban water governance in Santiago, Chile. The approach presented opens up novel possibilities for studying institutional innovation and evaluating changes in governance systems. The paper contributes to debates on innovation and its effects in urban governance, particularly under climate change.

Title: Special section: advancing the role of cities in climate governance – promise, limits, politics
Abstract: 
 This special issue contributes to scholarly debates about the role of cities in global climate governance, reflecting on the promise, limits, and politics of cities as agents of change. It takes an empirically-informed approach drawing on multiple diverse geographical and political contexts. Overall, the special issue aims to stimulate reflection and debate about where understanding and practice needs improvement to advance the role of cities in global climate governance. Key questions that are addressed in the special issue include: To what extent do real world experiences confirm or disconfirm the high expectations of cities as agents and sites of change in addressing global climate change as expressed in urban climate governance literature? In what ways do internal political dynamics of cities enable or constrain urban climate governance? How is climate governance in cities enabled and constrained by interactions with broader governance levels? In what ways can climate governance in cities be advanced through critical attention to the previous issues?

Title: An embodied perspective on the co-production of cultural ecosystem services: toward embodied ecosystems
Abstract: 
 Despite arguments justifying the need to consider how cultural ecosystem services are coproduced by humans and nature, there are currently few approaches for explaining the relationships between humans and ecosystems through embodied scientific realism. This realism recognises that human–environment connections are not solely produced in the mind, but through relations between mind, body, culture and environment through time. Using affordance theory as our guide, we compare and contrast embodied approaches to common understandings of the co-production of cultural ecosystem services across three assumptions: (1) perspective on cognition; (2) the position of socio-cultural processes and (3) typologies used to understand and value human–environment relationships. To support a deeper understanding of co-production, we encourage a shift towards embodied ecosystems for assessing the dynamic relations between mind, body, culture and environment. We discuss some of the advantages and limitations of this approach and conclude with directions for future research.

Title: Regimes of justification: competing arguments and the construction of legitimacy in Dutch nature conservation practices
Abstract: 
 Legitimacy of environmental management and policies is an important topic in environmental research. Based on the notion of ‘regimes of justification’, we aim to analyse the dynamics in argumentations used to legitimize and de-legitimize Dutch nature conservation practices. Contrary to prior studies, we demonstrate how actors in two locations where environmental disputes arose showed little willingness to switch between arguments in order to reach a compromise. Instead, some actors constructed incompatibilities between arguments in order to delegitimize competing actors. Especially in the visioning phase, institutional actors emphasized technical efficiency, planning and global environmentalism, and arguments related to emotional accounts, inspiration and locality were de-legitimized. In the discussion, we argue that it is not the formal or informal inclusion of the actors in the process, but the construction of the legitimacy of their arguments that determines the inclusiveness and outcome of the process.

Title: Cultural echoes in Dutch immigrants’ and non-immigrants’ understandings and values of nature
Abstract: 
 Contemporary societies are rapidly changing demographically and culturally. This raises new challenges regarding support for and engagement in nature conservation. Our paper discusses differences and similarities between young adult non-immigrants and immigrants in how they understand and value nature, based on group interviews and a survey conducted among young adults of Turkish, Chinese and non-immigrant Dutch backgrounds. We show that how people perceive nature differs between ethnic groups, even though the immigrants included spent (most of) their youth in the Netherlands. Non-immigrants used most strict boundaries to qualify green areas as nature, while especially Chinese immigrants expressed a more inclusive idea of nature. Turkish immigrants articulated most often ecocentric and religious reasons to conserve nature, while Chinese immigrants stood out as mentioning most often anthropocentric reasons. Traditional cultural representations of nature partly seemed to echo in people's perceptions of nature. Support for nature conservation was high among the respondents; however, this hardly translated into engagement in nature conservation.

Title: Farming between love and money: US Midwestern farmers’ human–nature relationships and impacts on watershed conservation
Abstract: 
 US Midwestern farmers are direct actors in managing nitrogen fertilizers and key to remediating water quality problems in agricultural landscapes. As farmers’ relationships with nature offer insights into their decisions and conservation practices, surveys and interviews with farmers in two Illinois watersheds explored their human–nature relationship perspectives and linkages to conservation practices. While domineering “Master” perspectives theorized as a cause of human-induced environmental problems were found, farmers spoke of obligations to the land and closeness to nature, emphasizing ecologically oriented partnership and stewardship ideals as motivating their conservation efforts. However, production-oriented pressures of the agricultural industry and livelihood and humanitarian considerations complicated farmers’ human–nature relationships and limited their efforts to act upon personal perspectives. Multiple, confounded human–nature relationships are influenced by factors beyond local landscapes with implications for natural resource decision-making, conservation practices, and environmental outcomes.

Title: A model integrating social-cultural concepts of nature into frameworks of interaction between social and natural systems
Abstract: 
 Existing frameworks for analysing interactions between social and natural systems (e.g. Social-Ecological Systems framework, Ecosystem Services concept) do not sufficiently consider and operationalize the dynamic interactions between people's values, attitudes and understandings of the human-nature relationship at both individual and collective levels. We highlight the relevance of individual and collective understandings of the human-nature relationship as influencing factors for environmental behaviour, which may be reflected in natural resource management conflicts, and review the diversity of existing social-cultural concepts, frameworks and associated research methods. Particular emphasis is given to the context-sensitivity of social-cultural concepts in decision-making. These aspects are translated into a conceptual model aiming not to replace but to expand and enhance existing frameworks. Integrating this model into existing frameworks provides a tool for the exploration of how social-cultural concepts of nature interact with existing contexts to influence governance of social-ecological systems.

Title: The dynamics of volunteer motivations for engaging in the management of invasive plants: insights from a mixed-methods study on Scottish seabird islands
Abstract: 
 Volunteers play an important role in the management of natural habitats. Understanding what motivates volunteers to join conservation initiatives and how motivations change over time is essential to enhance the environmental and social benefits of their engagement. Using a repeated qualitative survey and semi-structured interviews, we explore volunteers’ initial and sustained motivations in the management of the invasive tree mallow (Lavatera arborea) on Scottish seabird islands. Caring for nature, the performance of volunteering activities, and social interactions were the main drivers of involvement. Over time, motivations were shaped by the interplay between individual expectations and experiences with the social and ecological context. They changed from identifiable functions to more complex attachments to the place and the group. We discuss the limitations of functional methodologies in making sense of these attachments and of the performative nature of environmental volunteering. We then explore the practical implications of the dynamics of volunteering motivations.

Title: The role of co-evolutionary development and value change debt in navigating transitioning cultural landscapes: the case of Southern Transylvania
Abstract: 
 Cultural landscapes and their social–ecological values are threatened by changing lifestyles, policies and land-use practices, making their appropriate management a key sustainability challenge. Drawing on five years of interdisciplinary research in Transylvania, we conceptualise the notion of a ‘landscape interface’ – the intersection between the ecological and social subsystems, which through time, shapes and is shaped by the local value system. The landscape interface is a source of system continuity and stability. In Transylvania, many locals still act according to the value system associated with a disappearing landscape interface, a phenomenon we term a ‘value change debt.’ We argue that the erosion of the old value system, together with the weakening of the landscape interface, threatens sustainability – whereas reconnecting social–ecological feedback and thus strengthening the landscape interface could foster sustainability. The new conceptual perspective proposed here could foster greater understanding of cultural landscapes, including the social dimension of human–environment interactions.

Title: Creating ‘new’ commons for the twenty-first century: innovative legal models for ‘green space’
Abstract: 
 We all need space; unless we have it, we cannot reach that sense of quiet in which whispers of better things come to us gently. (Hill 1883)This article considers legal models for creating new commons as a community resource (‘green space’) in English law. It presents a strategy for creating ‘new’ commons to ‘re-purpose’ land for public recreation and to (re)-connect people and nature. This will require the creation of common rights – a species of private property right – over private land, to facilitate its registration as common land with open public recreational access. The article considers the types of private property right appropriate and necessary to achieve this overriding purpose, and considers the narratives of locality and identity which this model for ‘new commons’ could engender. Victorian philanthropists such as Sir Robert Hunter and Octavia Hill led a defensive response to the ‘old’ enclosure movement. Establishing ‘new commons’ would, by contrast, start to address some of the concerns raised by the ‘new’ enclosure movement, by offering a vision for a model of urban common that can provide spaces for human interaction, interdependence and cooperation from which no one is excluded. This would also contribute to addressing key modern public policy objectives for reconnecting people and nature, and contribute to the development of cultural ecosystem services of the kind envisaged by the UK National Ecosystem Assessment and the Biodiversity 2020 strategy for England.

Title: Mastery over nature as a paradox: societally implemented but individually rejected
Abstract: 
 In contrast to the reality of global industrialisation, research on individual understandings of the human–nature relationship shows low acceptance of the concept of human Mastery over nature. In qualitative interviews (n = 25) we investigated how actors from river landscape management in Austria perceive this paradox. Results indicate that actors who in their professional life act in the sense of Mastery over nature often interpret their role as Stewardship. Other reasons were seen in discrepancies between (1) private and the professional life, (2) people's vision and reality, and (3) self-reflection and reflection through others. Also social desirability bias and insufficient wording of narratives can affect results significantly. We suggest further exploration of influencing drivers in such surveys and development of tools for group-based reflection of human–nature relationships within planning and governance processes.

Title: The missing pillar: Eudemonic values in the justification of nature conservation
Abstract: 
 The public justification for nature conservation currently rests on two pillars: hedonic (instrumental) values, and moral values. Yet, these representations appear to do little motivational work in practice; biodiversity continues to decline, and biodiversity policies face a wide implementation gap. In seven EU countries, we studied why people act for nature beyond professional obligations. We explore the motivations of 105 committed actors for nature in detail using life-history interviews, and trace these back to their childhood. Results show that the key concept for understanding committed action for nature is meaningfulness. People act for nature because nature is meaningful to them, connected to a life that makes sense and a difference in the world. These eudemonic values (expressing the meaningful life) constitute a crucial third pillar in the justification of nature conservation. Important policy implications are explored, e.g. with respect to public discourse and the encounter with nature in childhood.

Title: Fostering environmental citizenship: the motivations and outcomes of civic recreation
Abstract: 
 What is the role of civic recreation – recreation-based volunteering – in the human–nature relationship? Through a mixed-method research design, this article investigates what motivates outdoor recreationists, what predicts higher levels of volunteer engagement, and the outcomes volunteers report. Importantly, civic recreation volunteers are motivated by similar reasons to other volunteers. Findings reveal six dimensions of volunteer motivation: civic engagement, environmental values, identity/enduring involvement, social/career networking, personal learning, and obligation. Individuals were most motivated by civic engagement and environmental values. Results from a multiple regression analysis indicated individuals who were motivated by identity/enduring involvement were more likely to have a higher level of volunteer engagement, whereas individuals motivated out of obligation had the lowest volunteer engagement. Finally, individuals report developing a stronger connection to nature, enhanced self-efficacy, self-enhancement, social connections, improved management, and increased civic engagement. These results suggest civic recreation has the potential to create advocates for the environment.

Title: What factors enable or hinder engagement of civil society in ecosystem management? The case of ‘pike factories’ and wetland restoration in Sweden
Abstract: 
 Engaging civil society in conservation activities is an important complementary strategy to counteract ongoing biodiversity decline and loss of ecosystem services. Since 2011, the Swedish Anglers Association (SAA) has cooperated with landowners to restore wetlands nationwide. We investigated factors that enabled or hindered civil society-led wetland restoration in Sweden through interviews and surveys with the SAA's project leaders and landowners. Principal internal and external factors contributing to the project's implementation included: flexibility and adaptive management of its leadership; support from authorities and policies; the good reputation of the SAA team; and landowners’ willingness to cooperate. The latter was linked to their feelings of environmental responsibility, the low investment required by them, and expectations of some benefits. We discuss the need to enable adaptive management in environmental management projects, adjust existing policies to their needs, and re-think funding strategies to consider the long-term nature of such projects.

Title: Attitudes towards nature, wilderness and protected areas: a way to sustainable stewardship in the South-Western Carpathians
Abstract: 
 The acceptance and support by those who live in and around the largest remaining wilderness of Europe is very important for the success of a planned network of designated wilderness areas that should preserve the area's wilderness values. A standardised questionnaire was administered in person to 322 local residents. A cluster analysis revealed two human–nature relationship types: traditional nature users and progressive nature friends, which differ significantly in their feelings towards wilderness and attitude towards protected areas. The generally positive attitudes towards wilderness and the neutral attitudes towards the existing protected areas are a good starting point for communication about, and establishment of, the wilderness areas. As a quarter of the local population is not aware that they are living in a protected area, they should be informed during information events in the localities about the exact location of the planned wilderness zones and the potential consequences for them.

Title: Knitting green spaces with the threads of social innovation in Groningen and London
Abstract: 
 Green spaces are an integral part of a vibrant urban landscape. In this paper, we discuss the potential for social innovations to transform urban green space and cities. By introducing the concept of socio-ecological practices and applying it to the analysis of urban and guerrilla gardening in the cities of Groningen and London, we examine links between behavioural drivers, social innovation and green space governance. Based on document analysis, in-depth interviews and observation of gardens, we bring about an understanding of the motivations behind involvement in socio-ecological practices as an interface between people and their cities. We show how underlying motivations, including values and self-efficacy, offer insight on current place-keeping transformations and, by doing so, contribute to fostering sustainable, long-term governance dynamics. It emerges from this research that socio-ecological practices have the potential to generate socially innovative physical, social and policy transformations within the governance of urban green space.

Title: What makes you a ‘hero’ for nature? Socio-psychological profiling of leaders committed to nature and biodiversity protection across seven EU countries
Abstract: 
 Biodiversity loss is a widely debated world problem, with huge economic, social, and environmentally negative consequences. Despite the relevance of this issue, the psychological determinants of committed action towards nature and biodiversity have rarely been investigated. This study aims at identifying a comprehensive social-psychological profile of activists committed to biodiversity protection and at understanding what determinants best predict their activism. A questionnaire investigating relevant social-psychological constructs identified in the literature on environmental activism was administered to 183 outstanding leaders (vs. non-leaders) in biodiversity protection across seven EU countries. Leaders (vs. non-leaders) in biodiversity protection showed, among other constructs, higher scores on environmental values, attitudes, identity, perceived control, a feeling of union and spirituality with nature, and willingness to sacrifice for their cause. Results are discussed within the theoretical framework of a motivation model of committed action for nature and biodiversity protection. Applications of the results are also proposed.

Title: From street trees to natural areas: retrofitting cities for human connectedness to nature
Abstract: 
 This research is a response to a call for concern over a human–nature disconnect due to urban form that ignores, rather than embraces, nature and natural processes. Connectedness to nature contributes to well-being and is a precursor for environmentally responsible behavior. Integrating nature into urban landscapes might facilitate human–nature reconnection. This paper presents the results of an exploratory qualitative case study undertaken in Portland, Oregon in which I conducted 42 semi-structured interviews with community members. The results suggest that in order to address a human connection to nature at least two aspects of urban retrofit should be considered: (1) incorporate multiple scales and types of nature for multiple experiences; and (2) provide opportunities for hands on work in nature and personal control of space. As we retrofit both shrinking and growing cities in this era of uncertainty and change, this research offers insight into the creation of livable, nature-full cities.

Title: Is this trail too crowded? A choice experiment to evaluate tradeoffs and preferences of park visitors in Garibaldi Park, British Columbia
Abstract: 
 Large crowds in parks can be a problem for park managers and visitors. However, perceptions of crowding are difficult to measure due to coping mechanisms deployed by park visitors. Furthermore, perceptions of crowding should not be measured in isolation, but rather as part of a suite of conditions that comprise the visitors’ outdoor experience. We used a dichotomous choice experiment with visual images and eight attributes to estimate park users’ utilities associated with their visitor experience in Garibaldi Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. Our visual method allowed us to control for background view and compare user preferences on hiking trails with preferences at final destinations. We find that utilities are more sensitive to crowding at viewpoints than to other aspects of the outdoor experience. Thus, visitor satisfaction and crowding perceptions are more likely to be defined by where visitors have these encounters rather than the total number of encounters.

Title: Network structure and adaptive capacity in watershed governance
Abstract: 
 What supports the adaptive capacity of watershed governance? Using document review, interviews, and network diagrams, we analyze how structural attributes of a governance network emerged and co-evolved with changes in biophysical conditions in a case study of a small watershed in northeast Ohio. Results indicate that the network governance structure that emerged evolved to become a hybrid of two different structural forms that diversified stakeholder engagement, generated social capital, improved social learning, and stimulated change in management practices, all of which have enhanced adaptive capacity. A significant challenge to adaptive capacity arises, however, as network governance has come to rely significantly on a centralized organization to broker relationships for information and other resources.

Title: Using triple bottom line metrics and multi-criteria methodology in corporate settings
Abstract: 
 With the growing importance of environmental sustainability in the corporate sector, businesses are compelled to progress from assessing and benchmarking their environmental impact to making decisions on how to prioritize impact reduction alternatives. Most often, business decisions are driven by financial metrics, but with sustainability improvements becoming a business goal, it is also important to assess metrics from environmental and social spheres; nevertheless, practically and systematically performing such an assessment is challenging. We present an application of a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method that addresses the aforementioned challenges in a corporate setting. Our case study company – one of the largest inland marine freight carriers in the United States – promotes a business culture focused on financially viable, yet socially and environmentally responsible solutions. Thus, we combine life cycle analysis (LCA), financial calculation methods, and corporate surveys to quantify environmental, economic, and social performance measures, respectively. Multiattribute utility theory is integrated with analytic hierarchy processes (AHPs) and fuzzy analysis to create a carefully designed framework for corporations with diverse groups of stakeholders. With company leadership, implementation is feasible and successful at prioritizing alternatives among diverse stakeholders. The process provides a platform for negotiation and promotes discussions on decision drivers. The use of MCDA methodologies promoted the inclusion of a suite of metrics that aligned with the company's sense of social and environmental responsibility, generating an in-depth analysis of the alternatives that factored in other things besides economics. Return-on-investments (ROI) calculations, the typical approach used in the corporate setting, would have required significantly less time and effort from the company, but the results of our MCDA application indicated that inclusion of triple bottom line metrics delve deeper into stakeholder preferences. Thus, our case study company gained a holistic view of the candidate alternatives, in addition to creating a platform for structured discussions about company goals and priorities.

Title: Developing alternative land-use scenarios to facilitate natural resource management across jurisdictional boundaries
Abstract: 
 Scenario planning is an effective approach for examining possible futures by exploring the implications and consequences of different policy responses to landscape stressors. We present here a case study that explores plausible futures of urban growth in Southern Nevada, USA that illustrates how scenario analysis can be used to inform region-wide resource management by spatially modeling drivers of change, resource impacts, and potential policy responses. Using a suite of energy, water and biodiversity impact models, we assess the outcomes of the various futures on priority resources, resulting in a clear basis of comparison between alternative policies and their potential outcomes. This case study demonstrates the utility of scenario modeling for natural resource management by exploring crucial policy decisions that might be made in the near-term that could have lasting and sometimes conflicting influences on regional resources over the long term.

Title: Environmental management from left to right – on ideology, policy-specific beliefs and pro-environmental policy support
Abstract: 
 Due to growing environmental challenges, the demand for effective management through pro-environmental policy measures is increasing. The effectiveness is, however, largely determined by the degree to which the policy measures are supported by the actors affected by them. A consistent finding in the literature is that ideology (or subjective positioning on the left–right dimension) affects environmental policy support, with left-leaning individuals being more pro-environmental. A major caveat with previous research is that it seldom makes a distinction between different kinds of policies. Therefore, we are concerned with investigating how different ideological positions affect attitudes towards different forms of environmental protection. Using unique survey data, we show that ideology is related to conceptions about the fairness and effectiveness of different policy tools, which in turn steer preferences. In that sense, this paper makes the discussion on the effects of ideological position on pro-environmental policy support more nuanced.

Title: Collaborative environmental governance and transaction costs in partnerships: evidence from a social network approach to water management in France
Abstract: 
 Several studies attempt to explain how collaborative environmental governance processes operate, but the question of why collaboration relationships form has received much less attention. Motivated by this need, this paper provides insights to the broad question: why does collaborative river basin management in France depend so heavily on partnerships made up around a few actors? Accordingly, our analytical framework develops a transaction cost explanation for the extent to which participatory procedures help stakeholders to identify partners and initiate collaboration, and for the causal link between the attributes of these stakeholders and their partnerships. The p2 model is implemented to investigate partnership networks of the key actors that govern the management of the Gironde estuary, the study case. The results provide evidence that environmental institutions bring together heterogeneous actors who might not be ready for collaboration, thereby actors’ perceived power similarity; their geographical proximity and co-presence in formal fora limit transaction costs.

Title: Analyzing social perception as a key factor in the management of protected areas: the case of the Sierra Nevada Protected Area (S Spain)
Abstract: 
 Protected areas cannot be considered as elements isolated from the human groups that inhabit them. Consideration of the social factor is fundamental to guarantee the success of any management model. In this sense, analyzing the perception of people who live in protected areas can be a key tool for the formulation of proposals for improving the existing models. This article explores perceptions of local residents in the Sierra Nevada Protected Area in Southern Spain and identifies the socio-demographic factors that affect these perceptions. The main objective is to generate relevant data for the protected area management team. The recommendations we can offer entail a review of the communication plan and participatory strategy considering social differences in perceptions of the local population.

Title: Exploring public perception of environmental technology over time
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses how new information shapes public perception of a controversially discussed technology over time. The test case analysed in this paper is solar radiation management (SRM), a potentially risky, environmental engineering technology, which aims to fight climate change by the injection of sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere. Using panel survey data, we show that most respondents initially show strong negative emotions towards SRM and reject the technology. However, public perception is not stable over time as emotions cool off and acceptance increases. The increase in acceptance is greater, the longer the cooling-off period between two surveys. Furthermore, we show that the cooling-off effect is more pronounced for more impulsive respondents.

Title: Evaluation of beach quality as perceived by users
Abstract: 
 Recreational beaches are strategic ecosystems for tourism and should be used in a sustainable manner. We studied three beaches in the municipality of Guaymas (NW Mexico), in order to assess their beach quality and identify key management issues. The evaluation was based on the perceptions of users concerning: (1) the user profile; (2) the recreational habits of users; and (3) the biophysical characteristics, infrastructure, services, and cleanliness of each beach. The results showed that the beaches were of different quality. The key management issues identified were the need to design and apply specific management programs for each beach, specifically in regards to improving infrastructure and services, and obtaining certification as a sustainable beach. The evaluation of the beaches as perceived by users suggests that it would be useful to assess beach quality in order to support management goals and be applicable to other beaches, both nationally and internationally.

Title: Urban climate change and sustainability planning: an analysis of sustainability and climate change discourses in local government plans in Canada
Abstract: 
 This paper clarifies the competing discourses of sustainability and climate change and examines the manifestation of these discourses in local government planning. Despite the increasingly significant role of sustainability and climate change response in urban governance, it is unclear whether local governments are constructing different discourses that may result in conflicting approaches to policy-making. Using a governmentality approach, this paper dissects the contents of 15 Canadian local governments’ sustainability plans. The findings show that there are synergies and tensions between discourses of sustainability and climate change. Both share discursive space and shape local governance rationalities, though climate change response logics are not necessarily highlighted even where the action could result in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions. In some cases, existing GHG intensive practices are being rebranded as ‘sustainable’. This suggests a tension between discourses of sustainability and climate change that may complicate attempts to address climate change through local sustainability planning.

Title: Perspectives on quantifying and influencing household metabolism
Abstract: 
 Household metabolism is a concept that is concerned with the analysis of stocks and flows of energy, matter, and information at the household scale. This paper starts by providing a brief overview of the concept of household metabolism. Rather than attempting an in-depth review and analysis of this field, the article subsequently maps the contributions and perspectives of a broad variety of research traditions that have an interface with the concept of household metabolism. Next, this paper highlights a number of controversial issues connected to household metabolism, and studies at the interface of household metabolism. Finally, this paper argues that the concept of household metabolism can provide valuable help in diagnosing misalignments between enacted system dynamics and expressed societal goals, and can help to design research that facilitates their alignment.

Title: Floods in the Douala metropolis, Cameroon: attribution to changes in rainfall characteristics or planning failures?
Abstract: 
 With urban populations worldwide expected to witness substantial growth over the next decades, pressure on urban land and resources is projected to increase in response. For policy-makers to adequately meet the challenges brought about by changes in the dynamics of urban areas, it is important to clearly identify and communicate their causes. Floods in Douala (the most densely populated city in the central African sub-region), are being associated chiefly with changing rainfall patterns, resulting from climate change in major policy circles. We investigate this contention using statistical analysis of daily rainfall time-series data covering the period 1951–2008, and tools of geographic information systems. Using attributes such as rainfall anomalies, trends in the rainfall time series, daily rainfall maxima and rainfall intensity–duration–frequency, we find no explanation for the attribution of an increase in the occurrences and severity of floods to changing rainfall patterns. The culprit seems to be the massive increase in the population of Douala, in association with poor planning and investment in the city's infrastructure. These demographic changes and poor planning have occurred within a physical geography setting that is conducive for the inducement of floods. Failed urban planning in Cameroon since independence set the city up for a flood-prone land colonization. This today translates to a situation in which large portions of the city's surface area and the populations they harbor are vulnerable to the city's habitual annual floods. While climate change stands to render the city even more vulnerable to floods, there is no evidence that current floods can be attributed to the changes in patterns of rainfall being reported in policy and news domains.

Title: Ecosystem services in infrastructure planning – a case study of the projected deepening of the Lower Weser river in Germany
Abstract: 
 We consider how ecosystem services can be incorporated into water infrastructure planning by studying the projected deepening of the Lower Weser river channel in Germany. We recalculate the project's benefit–cost ratio by integrating the monetary value of changes in different ecosystem services, as follows: (1) the restoration costs of a mitigation measure for a loss in fresh water supply for agricultural production in the estuary region, (2) the costs of a loss in habitat services, transferring the willingness to pay from a contingent valuation study to the area assessed in the environmental impact assessment, and (3) the benefits of emissions savings induced by more efficient shipping, taking a marginal abatement cost approach. We find that including monetary values for ecosystem service changes leads to a substantial drop in the benefit–cost ratio. On this basis, we argue for a reform of the standard cost–benefit analysis to facilitate more complete welfare assessments.

Title: Adaptation planning for sea level rise: a study of US coastal cities
Abstract: 
 Sea level rise (SLR) is expected, even without greenhouse gas emissions. As SLR is inevitable, adapting to its impacts has received increasing attention, and local governments are the key actors in this emerging agenda. This study indicates that adaptation planning for SLR should be integrated into two local major planning mechanisms in the United States: the local comprehensive plans and hazard mitigation plans. By evaluating 36 plans from 15 US coastal cities that are considered at high risk and vulnerable to rising sea levels, the results demonstrate that SLR is widely identified, but the overall quality of the plans to address it requires significant improvement. A detailed table of selected plans' characteristics is also provided as a lens on how localities tackle this challenging issue. The paper concludes with planning suggestions for coastal communities to better adapt to SLR.

Title: Evaluating the aesthetic value of cultural ecosystem services by mapping geo-tagged photographs from social media data on Panoramio and Flickr
Abstract: 
 Traditional approaches for evaluating aesthetic value rely on surveys or interviews. Social media provides a new type of crowdsourcing data to examine the relationships between aesthetic value and citizens' activities. The main goal of this paper was to evaluate aesthetic value in Nebraska by using citizen-reported geo-tagged photographs posted on two social media sites – Panoramio and Flickr. The study used the application programming interface from Panoramio and Flickr to obtain the latitude and longitude of the geo-tagged photographs, and then used ArcGIS spatial statistical tools to examine spatial patterns with areas of aesthetic value in Nebraska. The outcomes identified the clusters of pictures with the locations of ecosystem service provisioning areas of aesthetic value in Nebraska, identified new areas with aesthetic value, and drew comparisons with local and regional population distribution. This study provided an innovative approach to using crowdsourcing data to verify the value of ecosystem services.

Title: Household-level preferences for mitigation of  invasion in the Afar region of Ethiopia: a contingent valuation
Abstract: 
 Prosopis juliflora, which is an alien tree species in Ethiopia, has invaded over 360,500 ha of land in the Afar region of the country and is threatening pastoral livelihoods. We conducted a contingent valuation study to assess rural households’ willingness to contribute in cash and labor to mitigate P. juliflora invasion in three districts of Afar. Results show that about 84% of the respondents prefer an intervention involving complete eradication of P. juliflora. The lower and upper bound median willingness to contribute to this intervention were 9.97 and 13.42 USD/household/year in cash and 30 and 43 days/household/year in labor. Off-farm income and P. juliflora invasion levels on pasturelands are among the factors affecting willingness to contribute to the mitigation of P. juliflora invasion. Incentives to local people and having a proper institutional setup that involves local culture and institutions are important for mobilizing people on a voluntary basis for mitigation of P. juliflora invasion.

Title: Eliciting preferences for wetland services: a way to manage conflicting land uses
Abstract: 
 A choice experiment was used to analyse the preferences of residents neighbouring the Erstein polder (Alsace, France) for the different services that it provides. The heterogeneous nature of these preferences was shown through the use of a latent class model. Whilst the population as a whole values the improvement in water quality and the contribution, even partial, to flood protection, preferences differ when it comes to biodiversity and public access to the site. This study shows the potential conflicts between the different uses of the Erstein polder. These conflicts represent different communication themes for the site managers.

Title: Socioeconomic backwardness and vulnerability to climate change: evidence from Uttar Pradesh state in India
Abstract: 
 This study tests the thesis that ‘vulnerability to climate change is not only a result of biophysical events alone but also influenced by the socioeconomic conditions in which climate change occurs’. The study chose Uttar Pradesh (UP), a state in India, for its importance in the nation's food and nutrition security programme and its high sensitivity to climate change. It uses an indicator approach to see which districts of UP are the most vulnerable to climate change, and attempts to identify the factors on a set of explanatory variables. The study finds that infrastructurally and economically developed districts are less vulnerable to climate change; in other words, vulnerability to climate change and variability is linked with social and economic development. This observation is corroborated by the findings of relational analysis wherein livestock, forestry, consumption of fertilizer, per capita income, and infant mortality rate are observed to be important correlates of vulnerability to climate change.

Title: “We cannot let this happen again”: reversing UK flood policy in response to the Somerset Levels floods, 2014
Abstract: 
 The Multiple Streams Framework offers a theoretical account of how policy proposals move from latent possibilities to becoming favored for implementation. We apply this framework in the context of the policy response to the 2013–2014 flooding of the Somerset Levels and Moors. Stakeholder interviews and analysis of news media coverage evidence the way in which a specific policy option that had fallen out of favor with the national Environment Agency – dredging – came to the fore and was eventually adopted during the period in which the conjunction of problem, policy, and political pressures came to a head. Local political activists mobilized a wider campaign with the help of social media and capitalized on national political sensitivities to successfully promote dredging. What is less clear is the longevity of the policy reversal, given funding constraints.

Title: Managing stormwater for urban sustainability: an evaluation of local comprehensive plans in the Chesapeake Bay watershed region
Abstract: 
 This study uses a developed plan coding protocol in evaluating the quality of 76 comprehensive plans to examine whether local comprehensive plans have adequately integrated the concepts of sustainable stormwater management. The Chesapeake Bay watershed was chosen for the investigation because degraded stormwater runoff from nearby urban and suburban jurisdictions have critically polluted the watershed. The findings indicate that the majority of local governments have not sufficiently incorporated the sustainable stormwater management principles into their comprehensive plans. Five plan components (factual basis, goals and objectives, inter-organizational cooperation, policies, tools and strategies, and implementation) appear weak in realizing the concepts. The current study concludes by providing policy implications and recommendations to increase awareness and understanding of sustainable stormwater management concepts and to produce better implementation plans that integrate stormwater, ecosystem, and environmental planning comprehensively.

Title: The road to environmental participatory governance in Taiwan: collaboration and challenges in incineration and municipal waste management
Abstract: 
 Waste management has been a problem for Taiwanese society over the past two decades due to rapid economic growth and urbanisation. The building of incinerators, however, has stimulated controversies and social discontent over the impacts of incineration on both environmental and human health. In Beitou, a district in the capital city of Taiwan, not-in-my-backyard activism was launched against the building of an incinerator, but the community later promoted the idea of a ‘zero-waste city’ and played a role in the decision by Taipei's government. Using in-depth qualitative interview methods to interview local community actors, and green society members to understand the dynamics between actors, this research discusses these changes and employs the participatory governance approach to networks among residents of the local community and other actors. This paper also concludes that there has been a power shift in state–citizen relationships at the local level, deepening and consolidating democratic politics in Taiwan.

Title: Integration of biodiversity in urban planning instruments in developing countries: the case of Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, Ghana
Abstract: 
 There is a growing concern about integrating biodiversity into urban planning, yet, discussions are concentrated on science-informed planning in general. Few have explored the integration of biodiversity in specific planning instruments, especially in African cities. This paper examines how and what components of biodiversity are integrated into master plans, medium-term plans, building codes, zoning codes and permits in Kumasi City, Ghana. There is limited integration of biodiversity in most planning instruments as they were mostly designed on the basis of health, safety and economy. Allied to lack of funding and public participation, biodiversity in Kumasi is under significant threat from rapid urban development. Creating an opportunity for popular participation and decentralizing the planning system could set the preconditions for local integration and revision of instruments. Simplifying the definition of biodiversity could increase local planners’ appreciation, understanding and their ability to make use of biodiversity data.

Title: Are all experiments created equal? A framework for analysis of the learning potential of policy experiments in environmental governance
Abstract: 
 Environmental changes are increasing the need to understand complex cross-scale feedbacks in social–ecological systems. However, consistent conceptualisation of learning associated with environmental governance is lacking, and research mainly centres on individual variables. This paper identifies a typology of such learning, and theorises about configurations of variables. Focusing on experimentation as an intervention geared towards learning, it proposes a definition of policy experiment. A theoretical framework is presented, summarising a typology of experiments based on learning-related variables embedded in design choices, and reflected in institutional rule aggregations. The framework facilitates systematic analysis of real-world cases and testing of hypotheses on the effects of different types of experiment on learning. A case study demonstrates application of the framework. Results suggest future research paths that include attention to additional relevant variables. The findings have relevance for scholars interested in experimentation and learning, and environmental policy-makers considering experimentation to assess policy innovations.

Title: Government management and overexploitation of groundwater resources: absence of local community initiatives in Ardabil plain-Iran
Abstract: 
 Although mismanagement of groundwater resources has resulted in their destruction over centuries, climate change is speeding up this process more than ever. On the one hand, urgent action by government bodies is needed to address the challenge. On the other hand, a vast body of literature proves that bottom-up collective action, although requiring a longer time period, is a better solution to manage such resources. This research aims to address this dilemma. The groundwater resource in Ardabil plain in Iran, which has long been managed solely through government intervention, has been chosen as a case study to explore the opportunities and limitations of managing a critically endangered area from a common pool resource perspective. Our study suggests that managing Ardabil groundwater resources should be conducted on two scales. The bottom-up institutional agreements should take place at village scale while the government should stay in charge of the overall organization at plain scale.

Title: Future implications of urban intensification on residential water demand
Abstract: 
 Over recent decades Auckland, New Zealand, metropolitan area has vastly expanded as a result of rapid population growth and low-density housing developments. In order to manage the uncontrolled low-density urban sprawl, Auckland Council proposed a compact city model through promoting higher density housing developments. In order to understand the implications of this transition on future residential water demand, this study first evaluated water consumption in three major housing types in Auckland including single houses, low-rise and high-rise apartments. Using the geographic information system, the water consumption information, estimated from a large sample of 60,000 dwellings across Auckland, was subsequently integrated with the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan outlining the future housing composition over different areas in Auckland. Through developing different growth scenarios, the study showed that the housing transition from single houses to more intensified multi-unit houses cannot considerably affect the average per capita water consumption in Auckland.

Title: Reducing carbon emissions in Portugal: the relative roles of fossil fuel prices, energy efficiency, and carbon taxation
Abstract: 
 We assess the role of fossil fuel prices, energy efficiency, and carbon taxation in achieving climate policy goals using a dynamic general-equilibrium model of the Portuguese economy. Given the forecasts for international fossil fuel prices, improving energy efficiency and implementing a new carbon tax have significantly different economic and budgetary effects. Greater energy efficiency reduces emissions and has a positive economic effect, but increases public and foreign debt. A carbon tax reduces emissions at a cost for the economy, but leads to positive effects on public and foreign debt. Thus, it is important to pursue both strategies. We estimate that under the reference-price scenario, a steady energy efficiency gain of 2%–2.5% per year and a carbon tax of at least 35 € per tCO2 are needed to achieve the stated goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 by an amount equivalent to 40% of the emissions in 1990. These views were fully integrated in a proposal presented by the Commission for Environmental Tax Reform to the Portuguese Government in September 2014, and then discussed in Parliament in November 2014, before enacting a new carbon tax on 1 January 2015.

Title: Young adult conservation jobs and worker health
Abstract: 
 Decades of research studies demonstrate links between healthy environment, healthy lifestyles, and healthy people. This study evaluated the correlations between young adult conservation workers' perceived stress, personal effectiveness, and nature experience using quantitative and qualitative social science methods. The study cohort numbered nearly 300 individuals serving on small crews for an entire year, and were dispersed across Washington State (USA) to participate in conservation projects in rural to urban landscapes. Pre- and post-test surveys, using validated measures of perceived stress, health dimensions, and personal resiliency, were further informed by mid-year, field-based interviews. Overall, the young adults expressed fatigue with the physical work but were quite healthy when compared to national benchmarks. They indicated a reduction in perceived stress, and indicated social function influences based on the conservation work. Conclusions address the importance and implications of expanding this work opportunity to a more diverse cohort and future research needs.

Title: Low-impact development for impervious surface connectivity mitigation: assessment of directly connected impervious areas (DCIAs)
Abstract: 
 Urbanization increases directly connected impervious area (DCIA), the impervious area that is hydraulically connected to downstream drainage by closed pipelines. Although the benefits of low-impact development (LID) have been examined in other studies, its effect on alleviating DCIA levels has seldom been assessed. This study measured the DCIA of urban watersheds in Houston, TX, USA. Five land-use types were categorized and the contribution of LID facilities to reducing DCIA in each type was estimated by using Sutherland's equations. The results showed (1) DCIA in commercial areas was greater than that in residential areas, especially for big-box retailers; (2) the percentage of DCIA reduction by LID varied by land-use type; and (3) optimal combinations of LID application could maximize the effectiveness of DCIA reduction. The results contribute to prioritizing land-use type for implementing LID practices and providing local governments with a useful measure to estimate runoff volume.

Title: Regulation of air pollution from wood-burning stoves
Abstract: 
 Residential biomass burning is estimated to cause 29,000 premature deaths in Europe and North America annually. A number of studies show that existing regulations, primarily affecting new stoves, in the European Union and North America are effective in reducing emissions. However, it is not clear from these studies if there is a net welfare gain from regulation, nor how regulations should be designed in order to maximise the net welfare gain. We use an integrated assessment model to compare the net welfare gains of different schemes for regulating existing wood-burning stoves in Denmark. Most schemes we asses generate a net welfare gain, but a geographically differentiated tax on stove use generates the largest net gain. The results for Denmark suggest that there could be substantial welfare gains from imposing geographically differentiated regulation of existing residential wood-burning stoves in parts of North America and the EU.

Title: Does zonation and accessibility of wetlands influence human presence and mediate wildlife disturbance?
Abstract: 
 Zoning is one approach to managing human occurrence and reducing deleterious interactions between humans and wildlife. We investigated the occurrence of humans, and the responses of eight waterbird species to humans, at a major wetland/treatment plant/birdwatching destination. Human occurrence in three zones (‘open birdwatching’, ‘limited birdwatching’ and ‘restricted access’) was monitored using GPS tracking of visitor vehicles, surveys, geotagged social media uploads and remotely triggered cameras (on primary and secondary roadways). A higher diversity (but not frequency) of vehicle types and more walkers, more social media uploads, and greater usage occurred in zones in which birdwatching was permitted. Vehicles were less common and diverse on secondary roads, suggesting accessibility influenced human occurrence. Bird responsiveness to humans was similar across zones, perhaps because people were ubiquitous or because birds were mobile. Wildlife disturbance studies which use space-experience substitution designs are cautioned to test their assumptions regarding patterns of human visitation.

Title: Integrating environmental sustainability into strategic spatial planning: the importance of management
Abstract: 
 Strategic spatial planning has been suggested as a means for environmental sustainability. However, there are significant challenges with operationalising and integrating policy-driven strategic spatial planning within the standardised and process-oriented management systems of local authorities. This aspect has motivated discussions on how implementation of strategic spatial planning with a focus on environmental sustainability is conditioned by management systems. The empirical case is local planning and management practices in a local authority in Sweden. Interviews with planners, together with planning and policy documents, make up the empirical material. The analysis proposes that the integration of environmental perspectives into strategic spatial planning processes depends on (i) the overall concerns for environmental issues in local policy, and (ii) how administrative management systems can facilitate transformative practice in planning. In conclusion, this article illustrates how environmental sustainability in strategic spatial planning is formed and conditioned through interplay between local policy and administrative management procedures.

Title: “We want to know where the line is”: comparing current planning for future sea-level rise with three core principles of robust decision support approaches
Abstract: 
 Handling uncertainties is a major challenge in climate change adaptation. A variety of robust decision support approaches that aim for better management of uncertainty have recently been emerging and are used in environmental planning. The present study examined to what extent existing processes of planning for future sea-level rise in Sweden utilised similar approaches. Three core principles of robust decision support approaches were identified and used as a tool for analyzing five cases of planning for future sea-level rise in companies and authorities at different levels in society. The results show that planning processes typically do not embrace uncertainties, do not use a bottom-up approach and do not specifically aim for robustness, which points to a discrepancy between current planning paradigms and the core principles of robust decision support approaches.

Title: When the wind blows: spatial spillover effects of urban air pollution in China
Abstract: 
 This paper estimates air pollution spillover effects in Chinese cities. Estimation of this spillover effect is complicated because neighboring cities share similar business/pollution cycles, and changes in wind direction can be frequent. To circumvent these empirical challenges, we propose a new approach exploiting spatial and temporal variations in PM2.5 concentrations for major cities in China’s Eastern Monsoon Region during the monsoon season. We find large pollution spillover effects. Estimates based on our preferred model specification suggest that a city’s average PM2.5 concentration increases by 0.33 (or 0.26) units during the winter (or summer) monsoon season, if PM2.5 concentrations in cities upwind of this city increase by one unit. Estimated spillover effects in plain and non-plain regions are 14%–16% larger and 45%–71% smaller, respectively, than the baseline estimates. The percentage contributions of PM2.5 pollution from upwind cities to local PM2.5 levels vary by region and can be as large as 50%.

Title: Understanding barriers to green infrastructure policy and stormwater management in the City of Toronto: a shift from grey to green or policy layering and conversion?
Abstract: 
 This paper presents findings from a study of policy implementation of green infrastructure and stormwater management in the City of Toronto – Canada’s largest city. The analysis uses key informant interviews with public, private and non-profit sector actors to examine the challenges municipalities face in implementing green infrastructure policies. The article begins with a review of the literature related to green infrastructure policy implementation followed by the theoretical and methodological approach used in the paper. Findings are then presented outlining the significant barriers to green infrastructure and insights from participants who articulated that rather than a shift from grey to green, what is evident in terms of policy change is policy layering and very gradual conversion of well-established policies that support grey infrastructure. The paper concludes with a discussion of why the shift from grey to green will continue to be challenging unless significant policy and institutional changes are advanced.

Title: When West–East planning policy advice fails to gain traction
Abstract: 
 This article focuses on west-east planning policy transfers in Europe – the movement of ideas, principles, priorities, and processes related to the development, implementation and evaluation of planning policy. It examines the case of Albania, where various activities to promote the transfer of policy have taken place over the last quarter century. Since the end of communism in 1990, foreign consultants have been involved in providing advice on a range of policy issues, including urban and regional planning. Drawing on a survey of consultants with direct experience of providing policy advice in Albania, the article explores the impact of west-east planning policy transfer and the key barriers it has faced.

Title: Understanding the mining-local governance nexus – a Ghanaian case study
Abstract: 
 The demands for mining companies to play a role in local governance overlook the implications of their participation. This article investigates how the presence and initiatives of mining companies affect the roles of district assemblies in Ghana using the case of the Newmont gold mining company and the Birim North district. Employing a qualitative-case-study approach, the article demonstrates that the company’s initiatives enhance the plan implementation and the revenue mobilization roles of the district assembly. However, the presence and initiatives by the company undermine the management role of the district assembly in relation to its ability to pursue holistic development. The company’s initiatives have mixed influences on the representative role of the district assembly. Optimizing local governance in mining communities requires district assemblies to proactively engage mining companies to avoid a derailment of their roles. More research is required to unearth appropriate local governance frameworks for optimizing mining outcomes.

Title: Climate proofing social housing in the Netherlands: toward mainstreaming?
Abstract: 
 Climate vulnerabilities of the built environment are increasingly recognised. Mainstreaming adaptation concerns in urban development and redevelopment projects is commonly propagated as an effective policy strategy. Adaptation mainstreaming research often studies public actors. This article investigates the adaptation practices by housing associations, in the institutional and discursive developments of the social housing domain in which they are embedded. The analytical concepts of mainstreaming and adaptation barriers are combined with the discursive-institutional policy arrangement approach to answer the question: what factors influence the mainstreaming of climate change adaptation measures in development and renovation projects in the social housing domain in the Netherlands? We conclude that anticipatory and deliberate adaptation action to date was very scarce and attention limited in the social housing domain. On the project implementation level, factors that hampered adaptation mainstreaming in housing development were limited awareness, low priority in relation to other issues, financial constraints, regulatory constraints, lacking cooperation, and no materialisation of adaptation concerns in procedures and performance agreements. On the level of the policy arrangement, adaptation is weakly institutionalized in the Dutch social housing domain. The institutionalisation of a competing ‘core activities’ discourse hampered the legality of climate adaptation measures and eroded financial resources, dispersing the power to mobilise them over the arrangement. Uncertainty over the meaning of the new regulations, in combination with the absence of a comprehensive regulatory framework for adaptation and the self-identified culture of risk aversion by housing associations, delimits adaptation action becoming a standard operating procedure of social housing associations.

Title: Investigating the impacts of the EU ETS emission rights on airline environmental efficiency via a Network Environmental SBM model
Abstract: 
 Based on empirical data from 18 international airlines from 2008 to 2014, this article analyzes the impact of EU emission rights on airline environmental efficiency and calculates the airlines’ emission allowances. Then, we propose a Network Environmental Slack-Based Measure model to discuss the change in efficiency when carbon prices are set at 10, 20 and 30 Euros. The main findings are as follows: (1) Eva Air is the airline with the highest average overall efficiency. (2) For most airlines, their efficiency shows little difference from the original situation, regardless of the carbon price. (3) For airlines with large changes in efficiency, the cost or income from emission rights not only affects the operating expenses but also the fleet size.

Title: Towards a more effective EIA in transport planning: a literature review to derive interventions and mechanisms to improve knowledge integration
Abstract: 
 A set of process-related barriers negatively determines the effectiveness of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in transport planning. Recent research highlights the unstructured stakeholder involvement and inefficient public participation in earlier phases of EIA as key bottlenecks. While the academic literature has produced promising theories for addressing these barriers, they have rarely been translated into solutions applicable and testable in practice. In order to bridge this theory–practice gap, we present a systematic literature review of interventions and mechanisms aimed at facilitating the integration of different sources and types of knowledge during the scoping phase of EIA. This review explores if and how interventions and mechanisms have been conducted in practice; if and why they worked or did not work and how relevant they are for EIA in transport planning. Based on this review, we distil a set of three specific interventions and trigger mechanisms applicable in the context of EIA in transport planning.

Title: The costs and benefits of packaging waste management systems in Europe: the perspective of local authorities
Abstract: 
 Local authorities are generally in charge of household packaging waste management operations, particularly in countries with Green Dot schemes or similar extended producer responsibility systems. This leads to the need of establishing a system of financial transfers between the packaging industry and the local authorities (regarding the costs involved in selective collection and sorting). In the present study, the costs and benefits of recycling, from the perspective of local authorities, are compared for Portugal, Belgium and Italy (in Lombardia region), adopting the same economic–financial methodology. The results show that the industry is not paying the net cost of packaging waste management. If the savings attained by diverting packaging waste from other treatment operations are not considered, it seems that the industry should increase the financial support to local authorities. However, if the avoided costs with other treatments are considered as a benefit for local authorities, the costs are generally outweighed by the benefits, and the financial support could, therefore, be reduced.

Title: Evaluation of unmitigated options for municipal waste disposal site in Tehran, Iran using an integrated assessment approach
Abstract: 
 It can be difficult for assessors and decision-makers to compare different options for a project, and thus come to a reasoned and objective decision concerning the impacts and its sustainability at the local level. Therefore, using integrated assessment becomes crucially important for evaluating proposed different options. In this paper, we apply the Rapid Integrated Sustainability Assessment Method (RISAM) to evaluate the proposed unmitigated options for a municipal waste disposal site in Tehran, Iran. The results obtained showed that all of the alternative unmitigated options to the current method of open dumping were indicated as being consistent with very weak sustainability. The RISAM method demonstrated offers potential considerable benefits with respect to improved efficiency, reduced need for resources, and improved consistency and transparency in evaluation and reporting.

Title: Land degradation a matter of attitude? A case study from southern Transylvania (Romania)
Abstract: 
 A better public perception and knowledge on land degradation increases the individual and collective responsibility in land use and land management. Based on interviews, this paper presents results of evaluation of public perception and attitude towards degrading phenomena in the central part of Romania, an area prone to geomorphologic processes, with different land uses and a high proportion of degraded land. The research reveals natural causes, improper land use, categories of land owned, socio-economic causes and involvement of institutions as key aspects of public perception. Our research could be useful in the identification and design of measures in regional planning to attract population in prevention, mitigation and rehabilitation actions on degraded land.

Title: Coupling hydrologic and economic modeling for wetland management multi-optimization in Tram Chim National Park, Vietnam
Abstract: 
 We developed a comprehensive coupling framework with a multi-objective optimization that bridges a water balance model (WBM) and a wetland service model (WSM) to supporting wetland management. The framework was tested for management in Tram Chim National Park (with four wetland zones) where hydro-economic optimization was needed. The framework used (1) a model coupling process bridging WBM and WSM to create a modular hydro-economic model (MHEM), (2) a multi-objective optimization, and (3) an anneal scheduling for scenario optimization. The framework demonstrated its competency in identifying cause–effect/interaction flows (bridges) between WBM and WSM to design MHEM to simulate optimized scenarios; for the case study, the multi-objective optimization was met for all wetland zones. Results suggested a flexible consideration of management scales for optimization, i.e. hydrologic optimization at a zone level and net benefit optimization at a Park level. Our framework is applicable to supporting complex wetland decisions considering multiple objectives.

Title: Residents' perception of local brownfields in rail corridor area in the City of Roanoke: the effect of people's preconception and health concerns factors
Abstract: 
 This article examines preferences of residents for nearby brownfield sites and the factors affecting preferences. 200 residents in neighborhoods along the railyard in the City of Roanoke, Virginia, participated in a survey of their preferences for different brownfield scenes. Results indicate that scenes with historical landmarks and maintained landscapes received the highest ratings, regardless of preconceptions and health concerns. These are viewed less critically and thus could mask possible harms. In contrast, scenes with scruffy vegetation and rundown buildings revealed mixed preferences. For these types, participant preferences for change versus preservation fluctuated. Lastly, scenes with industrial remnants were preferred the least. Participants tended to associate these types with toxic pollutants that may adversely affect health. This suggests that planners need to convince people that these sites can be reused if they are cleaned up. The results are used to develop more effective engagement strategies for increasing support for brownfield redevelopment projects.

Title: Natural resource industry involvement in collaboration for water governance: influence on processes and outcomes in Canada
Abstract: 
 Natural resource industries are increasingly significant actors in environmental decision-making. Possessing vast institutional and technical capacity, firms have an important role to play in ‘new’ governance strategies such as collaboration. These strategies are often based upon assumptions of equitable influence. This paper investigates the nature of resource industry participation in collaborative water governance in Canada, and the potential consequences of that participation as investigated using power theory. The study used comparative cases to reveal that resource industries are able to shape collaboration, and the issues collaborated upon, at multiple analytical levels both internal and external to the collaborative process in ways not available to other actors. Analysis also revealed that resource industry participation in collaboration did not reflect a commitment to engage in shared learning and the reexamination of values and interests as presupposed by collaborative theory. Collaboration is thus challenged in producing equitable, representative outcomes when resource industries participate.

Title: The unsustainability of exurban development in London and New York: calculating transport CO emissions
Abstract: 
 London and New York have often been hailed for their sustainable planning practices. However, when one focuses on the entire city region, there is ever-increasing car-dependent development. This paper focuses on the exurban region of the two cities investigating transport-created CO2 emissions. The research is based on the analysis of data of the National Travel Surveys of Great Britain and the USA through a quantification of personal travel and a top-down estimation of CO2 emissions. It is the exurban region that accounts for the vast majority of CO2 emissions: 77% for London and 87% for New York. In the wider region for both cities there is a policy vacuum and dearth of regional planning mechanisms to deliver policies to reduce CO2 emissions. The paper argues that transport needs to be planned at the city-regional scale.

Title: Between adaptability and the urge to control: making long-term water policies in the Netherlands
Abstract: 
 Triggered by recent flood catastrophes and increasing concerns about climate change, scientists as well as policy-makers increasingly call for making long-term water policies to enable a transformation towards flood resilience. A key question is how to make these long-term policies adaptive so that they are able to deal with uncertainties and changing circumstances. The paper proposes three conditions for making long-term water policies adaptive, which are then used to evaluate a new Dutch water policy approach called ‘Adaptive Delta Management’. Analysing this national policy approach and its translation to the Rotterdam region reveals that Dutch policy-makers are torn between adaptability and the urge to control. Reflecting on this dilemma, the paper suggests a stronger focus on monitoring and learning to strengthen the adaptability of long-term water policies. Moreover, increasing the adaptive capacity of society also requires a stronger engagement with local stakeholders including citizens and businesses.

Title: A framework for assessing the accountability of local governance arrangements for adaptation to climate change
Abstract: 
 Accountability has hardly been studied in the governance of climate change adaptation. This paper develops a framework for assessing the accountability of interactive governance arrangements for local adaptation. This framework is based on five important accountability mechanisms: Clear responsibilities and mandates, Transparency, Political oversight, Citizen control and Checks and sanctions. For illustration purposes, the proposed framework is applied to the case of a Dutch local adaptation governance arrangement. The application shows that the five proposed mechanisms and their operationalizations offer a valid assessment of the accountability of such arrangements. It also raises some challenges, such as the tensions between accountability and flexibility, legitimacy and effectiveness; the potentially important roles of trust and of the political skills of central actor(s) in the arrangement in raising accountability, and the potential need to distinguish between arrangements for policy planning and for service delivery.

Title: Combining theory and wisdom in pragmatic, scenario-based decision support for sustainable development
Abstract: 
 Researchers have increasingly acknowledged the relative strength of ‘hybrid’ approaches to scenario analysis for exploring the futures of coupled human-nature systems. In this paper, we explain, demonstrate, and provisionally evaluate the usefulness of a simple analytical framework, based on five categories of capital assets, as part of a protocol for overcoming the conversion problem in hybrid scenario analysis. Based on a preliminary application of the framework to a case study in South Africa, we suggest that the five capitals framework has the potential to improve expedience and counter the bias against ‘soft’ drivers in hybrid approaches to scenario analysis. However, in light of the methodological trade-off between rigour and expedience, we suggest that future research needs to compare the available protocols for hybrid scenario analysis by weighing up the relative gain in scenario quality versus the relative cost of scenario construction.

Title: Computer and mobile phone waste in urban India: an analysis from the perspectives of public perception, consumption and disposal behaviour
Abstract: 
 Sustainable management of Electronic waste (E-waste) is a major challenge for contemporary India, an emerging economy burdened with both the domestic generation and illegal import of E-waste. Considering the ever-increasing complexities of E-waste in Indian cities, this paper aims to evaluate the current trends, opportunities and challenges associated with consumption of electronic items (with respect to computers and mobile phones) and disposal of E-waste in urban India. Bangalore, a city popularly known as the ‘Silicon Valley of India’, is considered as a case study in order to evaluate public awareness, household consumption and E-waste disposal behaviours. The city profile of Bangalore indicates that it has a rapidly emerging market for electronics and thus, has the potential to act as a ‘model’ for evaluating the issues concerning E-waste in metropolitan India. Questionnaires were distributed originally among 300 households with an effective response rate of 63.3%. The results indicate that the majority of households (59.3%) still retain their obsolete electronics due to lack of knowledge about proper E-waste management. High awareness about E-waste and high willingness to recycle/repair their E-waste (above 80% in both cases) are yet to be translated into responsible disposal/recycling behaviour as 95.8% of households have no knowledge about the presence of any formal recycling centre. Income, education, age and gender dimensions associated with E-waste disposal behaviour and awareness were also evaluated. Although we found no gender differences for most of the parameters, there have been some interesting correlations in age and income-wise segregation of disposal behaviour. We noted that the city of Bangalore still possesses some typical Indian socio-cultural characteristics, such as considering E-waste as ‘valuables’, changing several hands before final disposal, defying ‘brand’ or ‘looks’ consciousness, etc., which could be directed towards responsible E-waste disposal behaviours. We suggest that establishing appropriate and convenient E-waste collection/recycling facilities, ensuring responsible household disposal behaviour, implementing effective laws and legislation, and organizing mass E-waste awareness campaigns would aid in addressing the current E-waste concerns in the city.

Title: Assessing the value of pastoral farming in the Alps using choice experiments: evidence for public policies and management
Abstract: 
 Alpine livestock farms consist of pastures, buildings, people and animals, and are a key element for the economy in the Alps. Pastures and huts are often owned by the local municipalities, who lease them to private tenants. However, this activity is often no longer profitable, and thus pastures and huts remain unused and abandoned. This research provides an economic estimate of pastoral farming using the choice experiment (CE) method, also assessing the willingness to pay (WTP) for pastoral farming functions. The study examines different scenarios of upland farm management in order to provide recommendations for public owners on how to better manage these assets. The case study is located in an alpine area in northern Italy. Our results show a higher WTP for the attributes related to the traditional Alpine agricultural economy, with an emphasis on grazing. Several policy implications regarding agricultural renewal and support for mountain livelihoods are highlighted in the conclusions.

Title: Using Public–Private Interplay to Climate-Proof Urban Planning? Critical Lessons from Developing a new Housing District in Karlstad, Sweden
Abstract: 
 While strengthening public–private interplay is expected to improve the climate profile of urban planning in terms of mitigation and adaptation, less is known about the practice of such new interactive modes of governing. The paper critically examines the role, benefits and limitations of extended public–private interplay in developing a new housing district in Sweden. The developer dialogue between municipal officials and property developers confirms mutual interests, shared understandings and the added value of interacting. However, the closer the dialogue comes to settling agreements, the more difficult it gets for municipal officials to steer the process and its outcomes in favor of climate proofing. Complications with adapting to the new interactive setting means that municipal officials balance between acting as facilitators and/or regulators and property developers between acting as partners, competitors and/or defenders. Refining steering-strategies for sustaining commitments and securing formal agreements are pertinent for using public–private interplay to climate-proof urban planning.

Title: Climate adaptation management and institutional erosion: insights from a major Canadian port
Abstract: 
 This paper performs an institutional analysis of the adaptation to climate change by ports, through a case study of the port of Vancouver, Canada. While previous literature has demonstrated the value of informal institutions for filling gaps left by formal institutions, the role of failed informal institutions has received less attention. Our analysis reveals how, in the case of an unprecedented challenge like climate adaptation, relying on informal institutions with less agency can actually erode the strength of existing institutions in a form of negative institutional plasticity. In this case, emerging polycentric governance was unsuccessful, unable to construct clearly demarcated responsibilities due to impedance by the path dependence of the current federalist system. The latter works well for traditional infrastructure investments with a closed pool of stakeholders, but not for ports where multiple scales of embeddedness, both horizontally and vertically, produce a collective action problem with no mechanism for resolution.

Title: Convergent validity between willingness to pay elicitation methods: an application to Grand Canyon whitewater boaters
Abstract: 
 We directly compare trip willingness to pay (WTP) values between dichotomous choice contingent valuation (DCCV) and discrete choice experiment (DCE) stated preference surveys of private party Grand Canyon whitewater boaters. The consistency of DCCV and DCE estimates is debated in the literature, and this study contributes to the body of work comparing the methods. Comparisons were made of mean WTP estimates for four hypothetical Colorado River flow-level scenarios. Boaters were found to most highly value mid-range flows, with very low and very high flows eliciting lower WTP estimates across both DCE and DCCV surveys. Mean WTP precision was estimated through simulation. No statistically significant differences were detected between the two methods at three of the four hypothetical flow levels.

Title: Positive perceptions of green and open space as predictors of neighbourhood quality of life: implications for urban planning across the city region
Abstract: 
 The provision of green and open space in the face of wider development pressure is a key urban challenge. Despite this, few studies have critically investigated the quality of life implications of such provision. This paper focuses on perceptions of built environment factors and their influence on neighbourhood quality of life. Data are drawn from a household survey questionnaire completed by 483 residents living in three neighbourhoods in Dublin, Ireland – an inner city neighbourhood, a suburb and a peri-urban settlement. Positive perceptions of green and open space were identified as important predictors of high levels of neighbourhood satisfaction, surpassed only by dwelling characteristics. This suggests that development strategies which fail to provide for properly planned green and open spaces may be detrimental to neighbourhood quality of life. Furthermore, the results suggest a need for design solutions which consider neighbourhood typology in achieving improved neighbourhood quality of life.

Title: Governance assessment of a protected area: the case of the Alde Feanen National Park
Abstract: 
 This paper addresses the challenge of appropriate governance of complexity and diversity in the Dutch national park of Alde Feanen. The issue is how to enhance ecosystem resilience. Our focus relates to a navigable waterway within the park that affects the natural values of the area. The governance assessment tool is used to assess the governance context of the waterway and ecosystem resilience in the area. The study shows that a lack of a long-term integrated vision makes the governance context less supportive. Such a vision could maximize the focus on the resilience of the park's nature and motivate actors to work towards a common future for a concerned area. However, institutional complexity, combined with institutional inertia, is revealed as a hindrance to the quality of governance and shapes a weak ability to adapt the current situation to move towards resilience.

Title: Social influences on expressed willingness to pay: results of a deliberative monetary valuation study in Colombia
Abstract: 
 Deliberative monetary valuation (DMV) methods can support environmental decision making by enabling the exchange of arguments and information to produce more democratic outcomes. The product of a valuation may be an array of expressions of willingness to pay (WTP) by individuals or a collectively agreed monetary value. Concerns have been raised, however, as to whether this product is an outcome of thoughtful and independent decision-making or influenced by social pressures to conform. Our study examines this issue and addresses concerns about the use of DMV, based on a public deliberation of forest conservation in Colombia. We analyzed the impacts of social conformity on WTP under two different decision scenarios: individual and collective. The results suggest that the impacts of social conformity are greater when a collective decision is required. These findings indicate that tensions between the differing goals of DMV could undermine its democratic promise.

Title: Evaluating consistency of stakeholder input into participatory GIS-based multiple criteria evaluation: a case study of ecotourism development in Kurdistan
Abstract: 
 Multiple criteria evaluation (MCE) is often used with GIS to identify suitable sites for multi-purpose development such as ecotourism. Typically, expert or stakeholder consultation is used to identify weights reflecting the relative importance of map layers representing different criteria. The objective of this study was to evaluate a new consultative approach to GIS-based MCE, using ecotourism development in Kurdistan, Iraq, as a case study. In an initial and follow-up consultation, stakeholders were asked not only to assess the relative importance of different map layers for ecotourism development, but also to identify specific sites suitable for ecotourism. Seventy-eight ecotourism destinations nominated by participants had significantly higher MCE scores than a set of 58 locations chosen without reference to stakeholders (t-test = 21.16; p &lt; 0.001). The approach thus provides a straightforward means of assessing the consistency of stakeholder input into MCE and could be adapted for use in other site suitability assessments.

Title: Characterization of dissemination of ISO 14001 in countries and economic sectors in the Americas
Abstract: 
 The ISO 14001 standard is a reference to direct the implementation of Environmental Management Systems. The number of organizations that have adopted the certification has been growing over the years. This study aimed to evaluate the evolution of ISO 14001 in the Americas and among its economic sectors. A descriptive analysis of ISO 14001 data for the years 1996–2014, obtained from ISO and literature review, were performed. The evolution of ISO 14001 was also compared with the ISO 9001. The results showed that the number of ISO 14001 certifications has regularly increased on the continent as a whole, but unevenly among its countries. The number of ISO 9001 certifications still remains higher than the ISO 14001, but the disparity between them is decreasing, at the country level. The paper contributes insights into the main literature to be addressed for business managers, certifying bodies and specialists.

Title: Industrial pollution, spatial stigma and economic decline: the case of Asopos river basin through the lens of local small business owners
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the notion of environmentally induced spatial stigma through an analysis of data from interviews across public attitudes to pollution within the Asopos river basin in central Greece. The area has a 40 year plus history of legal and illicit industrial waste disposal and public debate on the associated environmental degradation. The study focuses on the perceptions and beliefs of a sector of the community likely to be directly and negatively affected by stigma, that is small business owners in the tourism and hospitality sector. The qualitative analysis explores awareness and viewpoints on environmental degradation and water quality within the local context, implications for the local economy and the individual's own enterprise, views on industrial environmental management as well as corporate responsibility and future prospects for the environmental problems of Asopos. Findings reveal a noticeable variation in views on industrial pollution and ecosystem deterioration among the respondents, but overall a strong environmentally induced stigmatization of the area. They also uncover an information asymmetry and lack of credible commitment by government bodies and industry members in disclosing accurate information, a situation likely to increase speculation and uncertainty within the community. The paper concludes by addressing implications of the findings to policy-making and managerial considerations, along with future research perspectives which aim to increase considerations of sustainability aspects for local development.

Title: Insurance sector management of climate change adaptation in three Nordic countries: the influence of policy and market factors
Abstract: 
 The insurance industry is important for facilitating climate change adaptation. Insurance companies’ involvement is, however, influenced by national adaptation policy. The literature suggests that especially policy factors – government interventions, political priorities and public–private cooperation – and market factors – cost offset, cost mitigation, planning flexibility and business opportunities – shape private actor approaches. To increase the understanding of insurance company involvement in adaptation, this study examines how insurance companies’ approaches are influenced by policy and market factors in three countries: Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The study found that the policy factors tested significantly shaped the approaches of the companies assessed, while market factors currently appear less influential. This is likely due to the absence of climate risk and adaptation in political debates and among insurance policyholders. The study discusses the potential role of the insurance industry in adaptation governance and suggests how barriers facing insurance companies could be overcome.

Title: Combining land-use planning and tenure security: a tenure responsive land-use planning approach for developing countries
Abstract: 
 There is tenure insecurity around land ownerships and land rights in most developing countries. There are also many land-use planning projects being implemented in these countries. Often, land-use planning exists in these countries but is not formally linked with tenure security. This study argues that combining them by conducting land-use planning in a way that promotes tenure security presents a new approach. A central premise for the rationale of this intervention is that processes of land-use planning may inadvertently increase tenure security. By way of methodology, it evaluates land-use planning case studies from Africa, Asia and South America. It uses the three case study examples to build a case for making tenure security one of the major planned outcomes of a land-use planning process and provides a detailed framework for operationalising the concept. Its main contribution to the literature is that it introduces the concept of tenure responsive land-use planning.

Title: Material flow analysis for a sustainable resource management in island ecosystems
Abstract: 
 The Galapagos Archipelago (Ecuador) is one of the most well-known natural sites in the world for its unique biodiversity. This sensitive ecosystem is at risk due to a problematic equilibrium between its conservation policy and development demand. To contribute to implementing integrated sustainable resource management in the Galapagos Islands, a material flow analysis (MFA) of Santa Cruz – the island with the highest anthropic pressure in the archipelago – has been performed, outlining a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the direct flow of goods throughout the system. MFA outcomes have been used to evaluate and forecast the impact of some policies and strategies on the local system, focusing in particular on fossil fuel consumption and local agricultural production. This case study stresses the need to introduce a local MFA protocol to decision-makers’ toolbox, as it provides quantitative assessments on a broad spectrum of local development issues.

Title: National infrastructure, small towns and sustainable mobility – experiences from policy and strategy in two Swedish municipalities
Abstract: 
 This study explores the implications of improved access to national rail and road infrastructure for urban planning and land use in two small Swedish towns. The promotion of sustainable mobility is considered a strategic objective at the municipal level, yet the study questions the extent to which national investments, and increased access to regional labour markets, support local efforts to increase sustainable mobility. The results indicate that municipalities struggle to adopt coherent approaches to increasing sustainable mobility and continue to develop physical plans that induce use of motor vehicles, a trend reinforced by national investments in road infrastructure in peri-urban areas.

Title: The challenges of participatory and systemic environmental management: from aspiration to implementation
Abstract: 
 Participatory and systemic approaches in environmental management are advocated as they are thought to lead to more equitable, resilient and integrated solutions. However, there is mounting evidence that, in practice, these approaches are exceedingly challenging and do not always lead to improved environmental management, or greater community engagement. To better understand the challenges facing organisations wishing to use these approaches, we monitored the dynamics of a decision-making process on an estate. We observed an oscillating pattern of widening and narrowing participation and integration. Three key factors created tensions with the estate's desires to increase community participation and follow a more systemic approach: stewardship values, organisational capacity and unresolved core issues. A combination of these tensions and other factors led to the early cessation of a series of planned participatory workshops. We conclude that academia needs to take these challenges seriously by placing greater emphasis on multi-dimensional, transdisciplinary analysis of such transformation processes.

Title: Political agenda-setting for strategic delta planning in the Mekong Delta: converging or diverging agendas of policy actors and the Mekong Delta Plan?
Abstract: 
 This article uses the lens of the Multiple Streams Approach to explore whether the agendas set by political actors in Vietnam converged with the agenda set in the Mekong Delta Plan (MDP). The MDP presents policy choices for the development of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. The plan offers economically attractive, climate adaptive and environmentally sustainable paths forward in the face of climate change and economic uncertainties. We collected our data using qualitative techniques, including a literature review and interviews. We found convergence between the MDP’s agenda and political actors’ agendas, though divergences were also detected. Between the delivery of the MDP in 2013 and formal endorsement of its ideas in 2017, the problem stream, policy stream and politics stream were brought together by the actions of “policy entrepreneurs” (scientists and experts). Our findings suggest that agenda-setting and convergence were a crucial step towards endorsement of the strategic delta planning process for the Mekong Delta. Further research could explore issues of power mobilization in enabling or constraining decision-making.

Title: Affective ecologies, adaptive management and restoration efforts in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
Abstract: 
 In this article, we describe ecological recovery efforts – restoration – as a crucial component of strategic delta planning. We present restoration as a design process at once biogeophysical and territorial that entails socioecological uncertainties. Adaptive management is an approach to dealing with uncertainties through active monitoring and recalibration of actions taken. We have developed a ‘socioecological monitoring’ program that uses existing biophysical monitoring protocols to collect data on human use. Beyond provisioning demographic and use data, this program also helps to change the relationship between the monitors and managers involved in adaptive management and diverse non-scientific publics, who have thus far been removed from the process. Our approach highlights the importance of user experiences and affective labor to bring people into the design of restoration areas, both as actors to be managed for, as well as agents whose values and desires can help guide landscape evolution.

Title: Ecosystem services approach for sustainable governance in a brackish water lagoon used for aquaculture
Abstract: 
 Human impacts on deltas often involve reclamation of coastal wetlands, causing a dramatic loss of ecological functions. We propose an Ecosystem Services (ES) approach to promote coordinated governance of aquaculture and environmental conservation in a brackish lagoon of the Po River delta (Italy). Spatiotemporal changes of aquatic vegetated habitats and clam production were evaluated, and experimentally related to ESs: climate regulation, habitat provision for birdlife, and potential for birdwatching. Almost all emergent vegetation was lost during past decades, while aquaculture production increased rapidly. Vegetated habitats sequestered significant amounts of carbon and supported more diverse bird communities than non-vegetated wetlands, including protected species of interest for birdwatching. We demonstrated that sectoral management was ineffective in maintaining ESs, promoting the exploitation of few provisioning services while decreasing many others. We propose an innovative, integrated management that focuses on restoring aquatic vegetation to offset anthropic impacts for the future sustainable governance of deltas.

Title: How “wide green dikes” were reintroduced in The Netherlands: a case study of the uptake of an innovative measure in long-term strategic delta planning
Abstract: 
 This article describes and analyzes the reintroduction of the “wide green dike” in the Netherlands. It is a noteworthy example of implementation of an innovation in long-term strategic delta planning. The Dutch Delta Program was central herein. Pursuing its ambition to make the Netherlands climate-proof, the Delta Program invited a diverse set of actors to participate in developing a long-term adaptation plan, and also to propose innovative short-term measures to help realize that plan. The wide green dike was actively promoted by a local water board, with involvement of scientists and nature conservation organizations. A stepwise participatory process resulted in national-level recognition of the potential of the wide green dike, particularly due to its “green” and “adaptability” characteristics. Alignment of flood protection and climate adaptation goals with nature conservation objectives, as well as collaboration with new actors, were all crucial in the reintroduction of this innovation.

Title: Navigating the bureaucracy: an analysis of implementation feasibility for the Mekong Delta Plan, Vietnam
Abstract: 
 Strategic delta planning focuses on strategic, long-term choices to stimulate sustainable development in deltas. Strategic delta plans outline a long-term vision to be embedded into the plans and activities of government agencies and semi-public actors at multiple levels. This implies a form of coordinated, yet decentralized, implementation. Although, its importance is widely acknowledged, there are few analytical approaches to assess the feasibility and possible bottlenecks of such implementation processes. This article applies a motivation and ability (MOTA) framework to assess the implementation feasibility of the Mekong Delta Plan in Ben Tre province, Vietnam. The results reveal diverging motivations and a perceived lack of ability among government actors at local and regional level. When not well-managed, this could hamper the translation of the strategic goals and visions into local and regional actions. This suggests the usefulness of the MOTA framework as a tool to help manage implementation processes for strategic delta planning.

Title: Reconstructing the impasse in the transfer of delta plans: evaluating the translation of Dutch water management strategies to Jakarta, Indonesia
Abstract: 
 This study takes the stagnation in the transfer of knowledge about strategic delta planning as a starting point and identifies the interplay of constraining factors. We conclude that the way the process of policy transfer is executed is crucial. The Dutch government aims to transfer the Dutch approach to delta planning (labelled ‘the Dutch Delta Approach’) to other – often developing – countries. However, policy transfer is a complex process that depends on a variety of factors. Deadlocks can occur when the transferred knowledge and the corresponding policy ideas are neither adopted nor rejected. Taking the impasse in the transfer process in the National Capital Integrated Coastal Development project in Jakarta as a case study, we demonstrate that fundamental policy change is needed to adopt strategic delta planning in Jakarta and present three interrelated explanations, related to the policy transfer process, that illustrate why this change is not yet observed.

Title: Making waves in the Mekong Delta: recognizing the work and the actors behind the transfer of Dutch delta planning expertise
Abstract: 
 The government of the Netherlands actively promotes Dutch delta planning to other deltaic countries. This paper describes and analyzes the Dutch–Vietnamese interactions and relationships around the development of the Mekong Delta Plan as a case of policy transfer. The paper uses an approach that regards policy transfers as processes of translation. It draws attention to the work that goes into making Dutch delta expertise and knowledge useful elsewhere. The paper shows that the financial and political support for Dutch Delta Planning expertise in Vietnam needed to be actively and continuously wielded to keep the process going. We conclude that there is merit in understanding policy transfer as a process of translation between many actors, all of whom change, learn, and influence not just each other but also what is transferred. Such an understanding allows better acknowledgement of the deeply dialogic and relational character of policy transfer processes.

Title: Farmer adoptability for livelihood transformations in the Mekong Delta: a case in Ben Tre province
Abstract: 
 Sustainable livelihood development is an ongoing challenge worldwide, and has regained importance due to threats of water shortages and climate change. To cope with changing climatic, demographic and market conditions in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta (VMD) an agricultural transformation process has been suggested in the recent Mekong Delta Plan. This agricultural transformation process requires the implementation of alternative livelihood models. The majority of current agricultural livelihood models in the VMD have been introduced by the government in a top-down manner. In this study, we applied a bottom-up approach to understand the motivations and abilities of local farmers to adopt alternative livelihood models. It is based on the MOTA methodological framework, which is further tested with the use of multivariate analyses. The study was conducted in Ben Tre coastal province. Results showed that farmers’ motivations and abilities to apply alternative models vary substantially among different groups, driven by their perceptions on triggers and opportunities. Acknowledging this diversity is essential to the development of agricultural transformation plans. Furthermore, based on the analysis, a projection of the precise support that communities need to supplement their knowledge, skills and financial capacities, as well as interventions to reduce the risks of new livelihood models, is given.

Title: Assessing the adaptive capacity of farmers under the impact of saltwater intrusion in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
Abstract: 
 Saltwater intrusion is one of the main problems in the coastal provinces in the Mekong Delta (including the Tra Vinh province), and it is becoming more severe with climate change and rising sea levels. In the face of this problem, a strategic plan has been developed for the Vietnamese Mekong Delta that suggests adapting to increasing salinity levels. However, the farmers’ capacity to implement the changes is unclear. The objective of this study was to assess farmers’ adaptive capacities towards saline intrusion in the Tra Vinh province in order to provide appropriate adaptation options, using the MOTA (Motivation-Ability) approach. This study surveyed 187 farmers regarding their perception, motivation, and ability in different saline environments in the study area, including three regions: seawater areas (region 1), brackish water areas (region 2), and freshwater areas (region 3). The results showed that farmers have quite high perceptions of salinity intrusion, especially farmers who live in areas affected by it. Regarding the level of saltwater intrusion, the farmers’ motivation in all three regions had a negative score, which indicates their motivation for adapting to increased salinity was quite low. Additionally, the farmers’ adaptive capacities in all three regions were moderate, with lowest capacities in educational level and rate of participation in non-agricultural organizations. The study results may be useful for managers and policy-makers in proposing appropriate and feasible options for implementing an adaptation plan to ensure sustainable livelihoods for local farmers.

Title: A framework to assess the performance of participatory planning tools for strategic delta planning
Abstract: 
 Participatory planning tools are increasingly applied in strategic delta planning processes. Additional to its design criteria, such tools commonly promote a variety of aspects including (1) facilitation of communication, (2) knowledge sharing, (3) social learning, (4) decreasing differences in power, (5) integration between sectors, and (6) supporting agreements. Yet tools are rarely assessed systematically on these participatory process dimensions. This paper presents a participatory planning tool assessment framework. The paper shows how the framework is tested on its usefulness in a training workshop on participatory planning tools for strategic delta planning. It is concluded that the framework offers potential to assess participatory planning tools beyond a tool’s technological design criteria and that it can contribute to advancing our knowledge on the performance of tools in participatory planning activities.

Title: A synthesis on strategic delta planning in action: wishful thinking, vested practices and unexpected changes
Abstract: 
 In this review, we take stock of 10 research articles that cover strategic delta planning processes in Asia, Europe, and the US. We test working hypotheses about consent, innovations, actor coalitions, and planning tools in different phases. We posit that strategic delta planning is a deliberate effort to influence delta developments, wherein wishful thinking on how a delta could develop is repeatedly confronted with vested practices and interests. These confrontations produce expected (e.g., institutional embedment, changing people’s minds) and unexpected changes (e.g., actors suddenly consenting or stepping out). Strategic delta planning is therefore not only an ambitious planning process, it is also highly uncertain, as consent on strategic directions has to be renegotiated across phases and arenas. Recommendations for practice are therefore highlighted that cover vocabulary, persuasiveness and tools. Further research is proposed to study the vagaries of strategic delta plans in urbanising deltas.

Title: Transformational change: governance interventions for climate change adaptation from a continuous change perspective
Abstract: 
 Although transformational change is a rather new topic in climate change adaptation literature, it has been studied in organisational theory for over 30 years. This paper argues that governance scholars can learn much from organisation theory, more specifically regarding the conceptualisation of change and intervention strategies. We reconceptualise the divide between transformational change and incremental change by questioning the feasibility of changes that are concurrently in-depth, large scale, and quick; and the assumption that incremental change is necessarily slow and can only result in superficial changes. To go beyond this dichotomy, we introduce the conceptualisation of continuous transformational change. Resulting intervention strategies include (1) providing basic conditions for enabling small in-depth wins; (2) amplifying small wins through sensemaking, coupling, and integrating; and (3) unblocking stagnations by confronting social and cognitive fixations with counterintuitive interventions. These interventions necessitate a modest leadership. Governing transformational change thus requires transformation of the governance systems themselves.

Title: An integrative framework for sustainable supply chain management practices in the oil and gas industry
Abstract: 
 This paper proposes a framework for understanding the contextual factors of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices in the O&amp;G industry. It is based on a literature review of studies related to SSCM of O&amp;G topics. The review reveals that there is a lack of SSCM research specific to the industry. Present studies focus on individual stages of its supply chain and do not consider all dimensions of sustainable development, namely economic, environmental and social factors. In addition, existing frameworks lack important contextual aspects of the industry's business and organizational environment. To address these gaps, our research develops an overarching framework operationalizing the internal and external contextual factors of the O&amp;G industry environment that can influence the outcome of its SSCM practices. The proposed framework is useful as a tool in the formulation and implementation of SSCM strategy that enables alignment of a company's internal capabilities with its external environment.

Title: Climate change adaptation in the urban planning and design research: missing links and research agenda
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the extent and the nature of how the urban planning literature has addressed climate change adaptation. It presents a longitudinal study of 157 peer-reviewed articles published from 2000 to 2013 in the leading urban planning and design journals whose selection considered earlier empirical studies that ranked them these journals. The findings reveal that the years 2006–07 represent a turning point, after which climate change studies appear more prominently and consistently in the urban planning and design literature; however, the majority of these studies address climate change mitigation rather than adaptation. Most adaptation studies deal with governance, social learning, and vulnerability assessments, while paying little attention to physical planning and urban design interventions. This paper identifies four gaps that pertain to the lack of interdisciplinary linkages, the absence of knowledge transfer, the presence of scale conflict, and the dearth of participatory research methods. It then advocates for the advancement of participatory and collaborative action research to meet the multifaceted challenges of climate change.

Title: Examining the agricultural producer identity: utilising the collective occupational identity construct to create a typology and profile of rural landholders in Victoria, Australia
Abstract: 
 Multifunctional rural landscapes are often characterised by contrasting values, land uses and land management practices of rural property owners. It seems these trends are, in part, an expression of rural landholder's identification as farmers. Existing typologies of rural landholders seldom take into account occupational identity. Research discussed in this paper addresses that gap. The objective was to apply the collective occupational identity construct to address the challenges of profiling rural landholders and test its effectiveness at distinguishing between different types of landholders. A 12-item scale was used to explore the extent rural landholders in south-eastern Australia held an agricultural producer identity. Cluster analysis resulted in the creation of four clusters of rural landholders with distinctive characteristics, suggesting the approach can provide researchers with a theoretically sound construct and practitioners with a useful tool as they attempt to better understand and engage rural landholders in sustainable agriculture.

Title: Case studies in co-benefits approaches to climate change mitigation and adaptation
Abstract: 
 Attempts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions or manage the effects of climate change traditionally focus on management or policy options that promote single outcomes (e.g., either benefiting ecosystems or human health and well-being). In contrast, co-benefits approaches to climate change mitigation and adaptation address climate change impacts on human and ecological health in tandem and on a variety of spatial and temporal scales. The article engages the concept of co-benefits through four case studies. The case studies emphasize co-benefits approaches that are accessible and tractable in countries with human populations that are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. They illustrate the potential of co-benefits approaches and provide a platform for further discussion of several interdependent principles relevant to the implementation of co-benefits strategies. These principles include providing incentives across multiple scales and time frames, promoting long-term integrated impact assessment, and fostering multidimensional communication networks.

Title: Conservation of indigenous plants to support community livelihoods: the MGU – Useful Plants Project
Abstract: 
 Through the MGU – Useful Plants Project (2007–2015) led by the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, high-quality seed collections and research information have been gathered on useful indigenous plants selected by communities in Botswana, Kenya, Mali, South Africa, and Mexico. Local communities were trained in seed conservation, plant propagation, and planting activities, while revenue generation was promoted directly through the sustainable use of plants and plant products and indirectly through wider environmental and cultural services. The success of this project was determined by its participative approach, involving local communities in plant conservation activities and using plant research to support it. However, the promotion of sustainable use and income generation highlighted issues that confirmed the importance of using a ‘holistic approach’ to address the objective of poverty reduction and contribute to improved livelihoods in the communities.

Title: Heterogeneity of farmers' preferences towards agri-environmental schemes across different agricultural subsystems
Abstract: 
 Specialised literature on the uptake of agri-environmental schemes (AES) has paid little attention to how this can be influenced by the different types of agricultural systems. This paper analyses the heterogeneity of farmers' preferences towards these schemes, distinguishing between different subsystems within the same agricultural system. We use the choice experiment method to analyse the case study of three olive grove subsystems in southern Spain, with the subsystems ranging from extensive to intensive. The results reveal inter- and intra-subsystem heterogeneity of farmers' preferences towards AES, both in general and specifically related to scheme attributes. A variety of factors appear to lie behind inter-subsystem heterogeneity, especially those associated with subsystem specificities (principally, the type of joint production). Likewise, numerous factors play a role in intra-subsystem heterogeneity, most of them related to farm/farmer socio-economic and physical characteristics. These findings will help in the design of more efficient AES.

Title: Balancing local interests and national conservation obligations in nature protection. The case of local management boards in Norway
Abstract: 
 In 2010, Norway introduced local management of national parks and other large protected areas. Boards comprised of local politicians are delegated extended powers in the management of the protected areas. This paper examines how this system of local management deals with the conflicting dimensions of local interests versus national obligations, and conservation versus use. The study is based on data from surveys to protected area board members and other actors involved, and on case studies in two protected areas. The main finding is that the boards, accountable to central government but comprised of politicians accountable to the local voters, aim to balance local interests and national obligations, and conservation and use. Popular involvement and anchorage is, however, weak due to lack of mobilization and transparency. Furthermore, formal restrictions hindering the boards from dealing with local economic development could make the boards less attractive for the local political leadership.

Title: Barriers to the diffusion of renewable energy: studies of biogas for transport in two European cities
Abstract: 
 The diffusion of renewable energy – particularly in transport – in cities may facilitate the transition away from fossil fuels, improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Past studies on this topic have focused on system modelling of diffusion pathways, technology characteristics and also estimations of future availability of renewable energy, whilst neglecting the agency of producers and users. This article assesses barriers to the diffusion of biogas for transportation in cities from a system and actor perspective. Using document studies and interviews in the cities of Basel, Switzerland, and Odense, Denmark, we identify the presence of conflicting political priorities and shifting strategic objectives, resulting in mixed signals concerning the role and viability of biogas for transportation. This underlines the importance of public sector support and coherent design and implementation of strategy and policy enabling the diffusion of renewable energy.

Title: What influences the pattern of pollutant releases? An investigation of firms’ siting and households’ sorting decisions in Ontario, Canada
Abstract: 
 The relationship between the pattern of pollutant releases and neighborhood characteristics has been in the center of environmental justice debates for the last decades. One part of the discourse revolves around the question if the siting decision of polluting firms or the sorting decision of households is the explanatory factor for the pattern of pollutant releases. The aim of this study is to contribute to the discussion by investigating the potential correlation between polluting facilities and socioeconomic characteristics of neighborhoods in Ontario, Canada, using data from the Canadian census and National Pollutant Release Inventory. The analysis shows that when the results are considered from the perspectives of the siting decision of firms and sorting decision of households’ hypotheses, the results weigh in favor of the sorting decision of households.

Title: When and where do we see the proximity effect of a new park? –A case study of the Dream Forest in Seoul, Korea
Abstract: 
 This study aimed to unpack the dynamic proximity effects of a park on residential values in the urban regeneration context: first by the development phase of the park, and second, by specific characteristics of the residential units. The study site is the Dream Forest in Seoul, South Korea, and the study period is from 2006 to 2015. The two-fold multilevel regression analysis suggests that the Dream Forest began exerting proximity effects from the time of site acquisition by the city, which peaked at a 3.7% price increment per 100-meter distance to the park from a prototypical housing unit, soon after the public announcement of the park procurement plan. During construction, inauguration and stabilization, the effect has remained at around 3.0%. The analysis also suggests that the proximity effect applies unevenly to housing units: apartment type or older housing units are more sensitive to the externality effects than their counterparts – multifamily type or newer housing units.

Title: Access for all? Beach access and equity in the Detroit metropolitan area
Abstract: 
 Beaches are a unique type of recreation setting, offering a variety of water- and land-based opportunities that can meet residents’ diverse and complex recreation needs. Providing and improving equitable access to recreation amenities such as beaches have been recognized as essential responsibilities of public leisure agencies. This study assessed the degree of equity inherent in the distribution of public beaches in the Detroit metropolitan area; to account for spatial effects, phenomena rarely considered in prior equity analyses, geographically weighted regression was employed. Considerable local variations in the relationships between level of access to public beaches and population density, proportion of elderly population and educational attainment were identified. Such findings can help parks and recreation agencies better understand local patterns of equity, an important first step in facilitating the formulation of more efficient and effective planning and policy approaches.

Title: Biofuels – tools for achieving environmental goals or green place branding? Present drivers and future visions in two Swedish municipalities
Abstract: 
 This paper presents a study of two Swedish municipalities’ engagement in biogas development. To analyse the drivers of such biogas development, the conceptual framing incorporates two perspectives on local biogas policy: first, policy drivers as connected to environmental goals and, second, policy as a matter of green place branding. The results indicate that biogas engagement serves as a self-governing activity with the fulfilment of environmental goals as a driver; furthermore, it is a way of expressing the mission of municipalities as “engines” of environmental policy. In one studied municipality, biogas engagement has an important symbolic value for green identity, meaning that green place branding is a driver. Still, interviewed actors from both municipalities lack clear long-term visions of biogas. Further studies of biofuel production should critically investigate visions of the future among central and local governments and evaluate the implications of municipalities as biofuel producers.

 Mismanagement of urban runoff can result in inundation which causes serious problems in providing urban services. Best management practices (BMPs) are used for urban runoff management. In this study, a method is proposed to determine the robust optimal set of BMPs for runoff management in data-poor catchments in urban areas. This method includes five main steps: (1) Sensitivity analysis to determine effective parameters in rainfall-runoff simulation model, (2) Calibration of the rainfall-runoff model based on selected effective parameters, (3) Developing a multi-objective optimization model to obtain the optimal sets of BMPs, (4) Selecting the final solutions using the Nash approach for ranking, (5) Evaluation of the robustness of the selected solution using the Management Option Rank Equivalence method. The proposed method is examined in an urban basin located in the north of Tehran, Iran. The results show that the proposed approach provides reliable results for urban runoff management in data-poor areas.

Title: Artisan fishers’ perception of climate change and disasters in coastal Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 Climate change is affecting fishing communities across Bangladesh. While work has been undertaken to investigate the nature of these impacts, understanding how fishers perceive climate change at a local level, especially within developing countries, is crucial. This paper presents the results of a three-year study of the contextual determinants and dimensions of artisanal fishing community perceptions about climate change in coastal Bangladesh. Results of this study indicate that geographic characteristics, socio-economic status, worldviews, tradition, observations and disaster experiences are important determinants for shaping fishers’ perceptions about climate change. Fishers also demonstrate a long-standing tradition of risk adaptation strategies, but do not link them to climate change. We argue that these perceptions provide ideas for how to form appropriate climate responses at local levels not only in Bangladesh but other developing countries.

Title: Understanding resident satisfaction with involvement in highway planning: in-depth interviews during a highway planning process in the Netherlands
Abstract: 
 This study investigates resident satisfaction with provided involvement activities during highway planning processes, with particular attention given to the planned Southern Ring Road highway project in Groningen, the Netherlands. In-depth interviews with 38 residents living in the project area reveal important themes contributing to satisfaction. Satisfaction with passive information activities is motivated by the extent to which information addresses concerns, but (dis)trust in government and other information sources also plays a role. For residents preferring to obtain additional information, perceived access to such information and the extent to which it reduces concerns are also important to satisfaction. Finally, for residents who would rather participate actively, satisfaction is motivated by their perceived access to participation activities and the sense of being heard. Study results show how residents’ evaluations of the themes underpinning involvement satisfaction are based on their perceptions of actual project team activities and contextual factors.

Title: Toward participatory decision-making in river corridor management: two case studies from the European Alps
Abstract: 
 River managers are aware that river restoration entails addressing and effectively solving wicked social-ecological problems. Contemporary river corridor management is characterized by a variety of actors with different perspectives and interests, and by complex institutional settings and legal landscapes. Additionally, at the intersection between litho-, hydro-, and biological fields, new research suggests that river restoration should reactivate matter and energy fluxes, re-establish spatial connections with the floodplains, and enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitats without exacerbating flood risk. First, we outline a general structure of participatory river corridor management that addresses the following key requirements: (1) unambiguous, participatory spatial delineation of the river corridor; (2) comprehensive assessment of the river corridor's hydro-geomorphological, ecological, socio-economic and cultural processes; (3) transparency and consistency of the decision-making process; as well as (4) a coherent envisioning process. Subsequently, we present an overview of two river corridor management processes, conducted in South Tyrol, Italy. Specifically, we analysed the Etsch/Adige River corridor between Laas/Lasa and Glurns/Glorenza in the Upper Vinschgau/Venosta valley characterized by intense agricultural land use and the densely populated Eisack/Isarco River corridor in Brixen/Bressanone. Based on structured interviews with project managers, we highlight strengths and shortcomings of the proposed participatory management and envisage procedural improvements.

Title: Learning for social-ecological change: a qualitative review of outcomes across empirical literature in natural resource management
Abstract: 
 Learning is considered as a promising mechanism to cope with rapid environmental change. The implications of learning for natural resource management (NRM) have not been explored in-depth and the evidence on the topic is scattered across multiple sources. We provide a qualitative review of types of learning outcomes and consider their manifestations in NRM across selected empirical literature. We conducted a systematic search of the peer-reviewed literature (N = 1,223) and a qualitative meta-synthesis of included articles, with an explicit focus on learning outcomes and NRM changes (N = 53). Besides social learning, we found several learning concepts used, including policy and transformative learning, and multiple links between learning and NRM reported. We observe that the development of skills, together with a system approach involving multi-level capacities, is decisive for implications of learning for NRM. Future reviews could systematically compare how primary research applies different learning concepts and discusses links between learning and NRM changes.

Title: Keeping pace with technology: drones, disturbance and policy deficiency
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses regulatory responses to rapid intensification of the use of drones/remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) in the context of wildlife protection. Benefits and disadvantages of the technology to wildlife are examined, before three key limitations in policy and law are identified: failure to address wildlife disturbance in RPA regulation; reliance upon insufficiently comprehensive existing wildlife protection legislation to manage disturbance effects; and limited species-specific research on disturbance. A New Zealand case study further reveals an inconsistent regulatory approach struggling to keep pace with innovation, inadequate regulatory capture of environmental effects due to exemption as “aircraft”, and no recognition that specific geographical locations, such as coastal areas, distinguished by recreational pressures and high numbers of threatened species require special consideration. Recommendations include acknowledging the impact on wildlife in policy, gap analysis of legal arrangements for protection from disturbance (including airspace), and adoption of minimum approach distances to threatened species.

Title: Governance capacity in collaborative watershed partnerships: evidence from the Philadelphia region
Abstract: The aim of this study is to assess and document the influence of collaborative watershed partnership processes on realising outcomes: improvement in social conditions and implementation of restoration projects in the Philadelphia region. Methods include primary document review, a survey of partnership participants and quantitative analysis. This analysis identifies correlations between the quality of the collaborative process and changes in social conditions. In addition, although participants in the partnerships have implemented a range of watershed restoration projects, the influence of the process on implementation is ambiguous. The collaborative processes yield agreements, improve learning and build social capital; yet these alone may be insufficient to overcome barriers to implementation.

Title: Gender mainstreaming and participative planning for sustainable land management
Abstract: This contribution outlines the potential of the category of gender in critical analyses of land use policy and the perspectives it offers for the development of conceptual strategies for sustainable land management. It illustrates gender mainstreaming in urban development approaches, thus showing the potential for enhancing the quality of planning and the reduction of land consumption. The paper goes on to discuss the potential for extended and differentiated communication and participation within participative planning support systems. A major point of discussion is the constraints of computing formalisations and the means of developing software systems for planning support systems (PSS) for participative planning approaches.

Title: The policy and practice of ‘sustainable lifestyles’
Abstract: This paper explores the rapidly developing research agenda surrounding individual commitments towards the environment, manifested by a series of environmental practices. Such practices encompass a wide range of activities, including energy and water conservation, ‘green' consumption and travel and tourism behaviours. Conventionally, researchers have chosen to study such activities individually, exposing the motivations behind specific behaviours. More recent research has suggested that ‘spillover’ effects (or generalisability) can occur between different types of activity, leading to a notion that a series of sustainable ‘lifestyles’ can be identified. However, these lifestyles have often been framed around home-based activities and have paid less attention to practices beyond thehome environment, particularly travel and tourism behaviours. This paper presents research that explored attitudes towards different forms of environmental practices, both within and beyond the home. Based on a series of focus group discussions with specific lifestyle groups, the paper highlights the contested nature of environmental practice in the UK and argues that whilst most individuals are willing to take steps in the home to be environmentally friendly, this rarely translates to tourism practices and raises questions concerning the viability of ‘sustainable lifestyles’ as a useful concept for exploring environmental practice.

Title: Watering cities: spatial analysis of urban water use in the Southeastern United States
Abstract: This study explores the spatial pattern of urban water use in the southeastern US using Moran's I and Local Moran statistics, and identifies the factors influencing urban water use quantity using a regression model. The findings suggest that counties with a large quantity of water use are spatially clustered. The regression analysis reveals that the quantity of water use decreases as the water price increases in cities in the light water use group and when a city government manages water in cities in the heavy use group. Effective water management policies in the southeastern region of the US need to be established in consideration of these effects.

Title: Road, forestry and regional planners' work for biodiversity conservation and public participation: a case study in Poland's hotspot regions
Abstract: We studied how regional, road and forestry planning sectors work to implement policies about biodiversity conservation and public participation. Evaluations were based on a normative model for planning derived from the existing international policies and relevant literature. Key planning actors were then interviewed with regard to their understanding of biodiversity and participation policies as well as ability to act and willingness to implement them. The results indicate several gaps in planning processes, for example, insufficient knowledge about biodiversity conservation and participation, limited resources and tools for planning of functional habitat networks and collaboration, poor connections between local and regional planning, and weakly developed public participation. The main problem for effective policy implementation seems to be related to planners' ability to act, which indicates that relatively low priority was given to provide resources for biodiversity conservation and public participation by the relevant units. We discuss our findings in relation to the implementation of environmental policies in the new EU countries of Eastern and Central Europe.

Title: The role of scale in integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation in cities
Abstract: 
 By using a scale framework, we examine how cross-scale interactions influence the implementation of climate adaptation and mitigation actions in different urban sectors. Based on stakeholder interviews and content analysis of strategies and projects relevant to climate adaptation and mitigation in the cities of Copenhagen and Helsinki, we present empirical examples of synergies, conflicts and trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation that are driven by the cross-scale interactions. These examples show that jurisdictional and institutional scales shape the implementation of adaptation and mitigation strategies, projects and tasks at the management scale, creating benefits of integrated solutions, but also challenges. Investigating the linkages between adaptation and mitigation through a scale framework provides new knowledge for urban climate change planning and decision-making. The results increase the understanding of why adaptation and mitigation are sometimes handled as two separate policy areas and also why attempts to integrate the two policies may fail.

Title: A non-parametric distance-based method using all available indicators for integrated environmental assessment – a case study of the Mid-Atlantic Region, USA
Abstract: 
 The paper presents a multivariate measure useful for integrated environmental assessments. It is a weighted distance measure applied to metric data but based on nonparametric statistical procedures. The proposed measure allows all environmental indicators to be used directly without any reduction in dimension (e.g. as in principal component analysis) nor losing variance while being able to tolerate possible non-normality of the indicators, as well as non-linear relationships among them. Results of the hypothetical example and the Mid-Atlantic case study show that the proposed measure is suitable and valuable for integrating multiple indicators into a single index, an important task in integrated environmental assessment.

Title: Policy context as a factor of bias in the valuation of environmental goods – a dual-process theories perspective
Abstract: 
 When ecosystem services value estimates are applied in the economic assessment of environmental policies, high accuracy of these estimates is required. One of the directions in the scientific discussion on biases in stated preference (SP) valuation surveys builds on dual-process theories of judgment. The paper contributes to this literature by presenting an experiment where two types of judgment were induced via separate versus joint valuation of environmental goods. The results demonstrated that policy relevance of environmental issues, e.g. the need for conservation measures increases emotional response, causing a larger bias in the separate design as it involves ‘valuation by feeling.’ This finding suggests that the context of a specific policy, which is often the reason for conducting SP surveys, influences the answers, thereby making the results less reliable for use in cost–benefit analysis.

Title: Do people have a negative impression of government on polluted days? Evidence from Chinese Cities
Abstract: 
 Chinese governments play a key role in providing environmental public goods. Urban air quality is a significant indicator with which people evaluate the effects of governments’ environmental regulations and investments. This study aims to investigate how people's impression of government varies with air pollution in Chinese cities. Using the Baidu online search index on the specific keyword ‘corruption’ to represent public attitude toward the government, our estimations show that an increase in air pollution level yields a significant increase in online searches on this word. Such an effect is more significant on heavily polluted or severely polluted days. In further estimations, we find that people will not pay more attention to the polluters themselves on polluted days. These results are consistent with previous studies that air pollution causes people to be more depressed, selfish and sensitive to fairness. We conclude that efforts on air quality improvement will create a positive impression of government.

Title: Complex dynamics in the uptake of new farming practices: a case study for organic waste application
Abstract: 
 Adverse environmental effects of intensive agriculture, together with scarcity in phosphates and water, urge farmers to find more sustainable practices. An example of such a sustainable practice is on-farm processing of organic waste. This paper explores three mechanisms that can lead to a widespread uptake of this technique: (1) economies of scale, (2) information sharing, and (3) adjustment of social norms. Although each of these mechanisms has been studied before, this paper provides new insights by considering the interactions that might exist between the different mechanisms when they are applied to real-life situations. Based on a pilot study, we developed a multi-criteria mathematical programming model at individual farm level. We used this model to simulate the uptake of on-farm processing of organic waste, as a result of the three mechanisms and their interactions. Our results show that each mechanism results in an increased uptake, but is not likely to cause a widespread uptake. Interaction between the mechanisms, will lead to a much higher uptake. This result suggests that simultaneous consideration of multiple mechanisms is essential to understand the behaviour of social–ecological systems.

Title: For what it's worth: evaluating revealed preferences for green certification
Abstract: 
 In a case study that examines the outcomes of a flexible information-based policy, we observe how organizations obtain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification. We use a regression discontinuity analysis to identify practices used to upgrade certification tiers. This analysis reveals preferences for green certification strategies and, we argue, intimates the perceived motivations for green certification. We distinguish practices that potentially confer private gains through returns to efficiency and productivity investments, from practices that only provide public benefits. Data show that organizations strategically certify to avoid high-cost resource use, appeal to key stakeholders, and communicate building and organization quality. Builders upgrading to the highest tiers are more likely to deploy practices with private gains. Results suggest a willingness to extend short time horizons associated with energy-efficiency investments in exchange for marketing benefits. Our discussion notes the capacity for certifications to mitigate market barriers associated with the energy-efficiency gap.

Title: Implementing wildlife-management strategies into road infrastructure in southern Ontario: a critical success factors approach
Abstract: 
 Wildlife-road conflict has profound negative impacts on both wildlife populations and society. Despite a long-held understanding of this problem, in most regions the wildlife-management strategies (WMS) available to mitigate this conflict are still relatively underutilized. This study examines the implementation of these strategies into road infrastructure, using Southern Ontario as a case study, in order to develop an understanding of what leads to successful WMS implementation. The project management concept of critical success factors was applied and interviews with project decision-makers and key stakeholders were conducted. Nine factors were identified and a comparison between a ‘smooth’ and ‘rough’ project is used to illustrate the cumulative effects that these factors, and their interrelationships, have on project implementation success. Practitioners can use these findings to evaluate WMS projects based on likelihood of success and allocate resources accordingly, ultimately leading to increased chances of implementation and overall benefit to conservation and society.

Title: Farmers’ risk preference and the adoption of risk management strategies in Northern Ghana
Abstract: 
 The study used the hypothetical lottery-choice questions to measure risk aversion and a detailed survey collected data on input use, farm production and non-farm activities to specifically assess whether risk aversion, risk perceptions, and socioeconomic factors affect the risk management strategies of farm households in Northern Ghana. Risk aversion significantly increases crop diversification strategies of households but marginally reduces herbicide use by households. Market risk significantly increases the use of improved seed varieties and the application of inorganic fertiliser but reduces diversification into livestock production. Production risk largely increases diversification into livestock production. Farmers’ risk management strategies are affected by socioeconomic variables such as access to extension services, area cultivated, age and gender. Policy effort focused on building pliable on-farm crop related risk management strategies should aim at considering the risk aversion and the perception of market risk whilst those focused on livestock should focus on production risk.

Title: Plan integration for resilience scorecard: evaluating networks of plans in six US coastal cities
Abstract: 
 Planning for hazard mitigation is frequently detached from other planning activities that influence development patterns in hazardous areas. Consistent integration of mitigation reduces hazard vulnerability for people and the built environment. We apply a plan integration for resilience scorecard in six US coastal cities to evaluate the integration of local networks of plans and the degree to which they target areas most vulnerable to flooding hazards. We find that plan integration scores vary widely across the six cities, and that some plans actually increase vulnerability in hazard zones. Policies also frequently support mitigation in areas with low vulnerability, rather than in areas with high vulnerability. The plan integration for resilience scorecard can generate information to improve hazard planning by allowing planners to identify conflicts between plans, assess whether plans target areas that are most vulnerable, and better inform decision makers about opportunities to mainstream mitigation into multiple sectors of planning.

Title: Assessing barriers to effective spatial planning in Mauritius. A combination of SWOT and gap surveys
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the barriers to effective spatial planning in Mauritius. With its competitive advantage, due to its strategic position into Africa, the island is experiencing rapid development. However, current land development, especially considering land scarcity, reflects a lack of integrated strategic decision-making in the spatial planning system in Mauritius. Using a PESTLE framework and two quantitative surveys, namely a SWOT analysis addressed to the planners in Mauritius, followed by a gap analysis addressed to a wider group of professionals, the barriers have been identified. The result shows that overall significant barriers exist. The contributions of the research have been: first, in the methods adopted to identify such barriers towards effective spatial planning; second, in the identification of the barriers in order of importance; and third, in the formulation of strategies to address these barriers.

Title: Estimating willingness to pay for a threatened species within a threatened ecosystem
Abstract: 
 This study conducts a choice experiment to determine the willingness to pay for Palouse Prairie conservation. The giant Palouse earthworm (Driloleirus americanus), a rare species endemic to the Palouse region, is included as an attribute of conservation and serves as a method for determining the willingness to pay for protecting the species. This method evaluates the value of the earthworm as an attribute of an overall willingness to pay for threatened ecosystem preservation rather than a direct willingness to pay for protecting the species. This method is expected to yield a more accurate measure of willingness to pay for rare species. The annual willingness to pay per household for the giant Palouse earthworm is $20.45 based on the conditional logit model and $19.30 based on the mixed logit model. Ranking and relative importance are included as methods for representing a non-monetary value and importance of the giant Palouse earthworm.

Title: Toward Cyborg PPGIS: exploring socio-technical requirements for the use of web-based PPGIS in two municipal planning cases, Stockholm region, Sweden
Abstract: 
 Web-based Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) are increasingly used for surveying place values and informing municipal planning in contexts of urban densification. However, research is lagging behind the rapid deployment of PPGIS applications. Some of the main opportunities and challenges for the uptake and implementation of web-based PPGIS are derived from a literature review and two case studies dealing with municipal planning for urban densification in the Stockholm region, Sweden. A simple clustering analysis identified three interconnected themes that together determine the performance of PPGIS: (i) tool design and affordances; (ii) organisational capacity; and (iii) governance. The results of the case studies augment existing literature regarding the connections between the different socio-technical dimensions for the design, implementation and evaluation of PPGIS applications in municipal planning. A cyborg approach to PPGIS is then proposed to improve the theoretical basis for addressing these dimensions together.

Title: Need for a wind of change? Use of offshore wind messages by stakeholders and the media in Germany and their effects on public acceptance
Abstract: 
 This study investigates German news media coverage and PR material of offshore wind stakeholders from industry, politics, science and civil society thoroughly to provide insights about offshore wind benefits and risks communicated frequently and rarely to the public. By comparative analyses, differences between stakeholder and media messages are revealed: while stakeholders strongly focused on the supportive argument relevance of offshore wind for the energy turnaround, the media often discussed the negative impacts higher costs and delays in grid connection. Furthermore, the influence of offshore wind arguments on acceptance is measured within a survey representative of the German population. With these results, it can be assessed how far influential arguments were presented and which messages have been used frequently despite their low impact. Disruptions to viewscapes, limitation of commercial fishing areas, and hazards to shipping proved to be effective arguments to influence offshore wind acceptance – however, they were seldom used.

Title: The impact of the carbon tax policy on green building strategy
Abstract: 
 As Green Corporate Social Responsibility spreads across the globe, the construction industry is under pressure to reduce the carbon emissions across their building projects. Between maximum profit and environment management, mathematical programming can be used as a decision support tool concerning the optimal green building projects portfolio. This environment strategic decision problem is addressed in this study where an activity-based costing decision model incorporating carbon tax costs and construction resources constraints is developed from the perspectives of capacity expansion and green technology outsourcing. The results illustrate the positive contribution of the mathematical programming approach to achieve viable green building projects portfolio solutions. Sensitivity analyses are carried out to analyse the impact of carbon footprint emission variation on maximum profit, and the corresponding results are discussed.

Title: Modelling built-up land take in Europe to 2020: an assessment of the Resource Efficiency Roadmap measure on land
Abstract: 
 Land taken by artificial surfaces has an impact on the quality of life and ecosystems. To reduce possible negative impacts of land take, the European Commission proposed setting a milestone objective for 2020 in terms of future rates of land take.This paper describes a methodology to model the impacts of the 2020 land-take milestone proposed in the RERM in the European Union 27 MS. An integrated modelling framework was configured to assess the spatial impact of two land-take scenarios: a ‘Reference’ scenario, which is driven by demographic and economic trends, and a ‘Target 0’ scenario that follows the 2020 land-take milestone proposed in the RERM. We conclude that the implementation of the 2020 land-take milestone, by reducing future land take in Europe, will foster more efficient use of land (less land taken for the same activity levels) and minimise negative impacts on non-artificial land uses.

Title: The social psychology of biodiversity conservation in agriculture
Abstract: 
 We investigate farmers’ intentions to apply biodiversity conservation practices from a psychological perspective, using an adapted version of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), including group norms and putting emphasis on moral norms and self-identity. The study is based on a quantitative survey (n = 99) in Belgium, analysed using confirmatory factor analyses and path analysis. Results suggest that the impact of attitudes, social norms and perceived behavioural control on intentions is almost fully mediated through moral norms and self-identity. To have a sustained impact, change actions should strive to embed biodiversity conservation into the social norms and into the good farmer identity of the farming community. While acknowledging the explanatory nature of this study, the findings could suggest another view on how to induce behavioural change.

Title: An analytical framework for strategic delta planning: negotiating consent for long-term sustainable delta development
Abstract: 
 Sectoral planning on water, agriculture and urban development has not been able to prevent increased flood risks and environmental degradation in many deltas. Governments conceive strategic delta planning as a promising planning approach and develop strategic delta plans. Such plans are linked to actions and means for implementation in the short-term, in line with long-term strategic choices. This paper introduces an analytical framework that focuses on the role of actors, innovative solutions and participatory planning tools in negotiating consent for the strategic choices in a delta plan and its implementation. Cases of Bangladesh, the Netherlands and Vietnam are discussed as a plausibility probe to explore the framework's potential. The probe reveals that the framework is promising to explain the process and outcomes of strategic delta planning in urbanizing deltas. The paper ends with an initial research agenda to stimulate research and discussion on this new delta planning approach.

Title: The carrot or the stick: individual adaption against varying institutional arrangements
Abstract: 
 This study employs a unique household-level data-set to investigate the effectiveness of various waste separation policies under consideration of local socioeconomic contexts. Our results confirm previous findings that most demographic factors are generally not statistically significant. The findings suggest that waste separation knowledge, social capital, free provision of sortable containers and community collecting recyclables are positively associated with household involvement in waste separation. More importantly, while an increase in the garbage fee motivates non-sorting households to separate their waste into two categories of recyclables and non-recyclables, it also crowds out households’ preexisting motivations for sorting waste into three or more categories. The introduction of a garbage fee indeed substitutes rather than complements free provision of sortable containers and community collection of recyclables. Apart from actively fostering the creation of social capital, local authorities should, therefore, comprehensively design a compatible policy mix to adjust and optimize current management schemes for enhancing waste management practices.

Title: ‘Enclosing country park land and the conservation of military heritage:’ an Ostromian interpretation of the fools’ paradise
Abstract: 
 British colonial military heritage structures in Hong Kong are in a state of ruin and government neglect. Urgent attention is required in the form of active management to avoid the loss of valuable heritage resources and the negative impact on the landscape and environment. This paper explores two possible alternatives – user participation and social entrepreneur participation – to achieve innovative solutions to rent dissipation of these structures situated in isolated areas within protected-area boundaries, with a focus on a specific case. Emphasis is placed on fostering public participation, involving the allocation of some property rights. Elinor Ostrom's diagnostic approach to common-pool resource problems is applied to both solutions to determine the conditions necessary to achieve the objectives. The discussions are informed by social entrepreneurship principles and a version of the Coase Theorem, the latter coinciding with Ostrom's view regarding the role of property rights in achieving sustainable outcomes.

Title: Does collaboration affect the duration of environmental permitting processes?
Abstract: 
 While collaborative governance has many benefits for environmental planning and management, those benefits are not politically feasible if they impact on process efficiency. This study assesses collaboration's effect on the duration of water permitting processes, specifically the United States’ Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's hydropower relicensing process. Collaboration was measured using a survey of participants in 24 recent hydropower relicensing processes. A Cox proportional hazards model with mixed effects assessed the relationship between collaboration, regulatory framework, hydropower facility characteristics, and relicensing process duration. Collaboration was not associated with time to license. Instead, process duration depended on the regulatory framework (especially the switch to the Integrated Licensing Process and presence of endangered species) and facility characteristics (generating capacity and facility type). The results suggest that agencies should consider engaging collaboratively during planning and permitting, given that collaboration's benefits to decision quality do not incur a cost on overall process time.

Title: The clustering conditions for managing creative tourism destinations: the Alqueva region case, Portugal
Abstract: 
 The paper discusses conditions and format of a cluster model to support the management of a potential creative tourism destination in a setting where regional cross-sectoral collaboration is lacking. Creative tourism development requires a flexible framework and a healthy collaboration environment, more so when associated with resources shared by several stakeholders. This article focuses on the tourism potential of archaeological knowledge discovered during the environmental impact assessment of the Alqueva dam (Alentejo, Portugal). Interviews were conducted with 38 regional actors in the tourism and heritage sectors, as well as the dam developers and the companies responsible for archaeological interventions. Findings indicate that the lack of specific local policy addressing archaeological heritage hampers its potential use for tourism development, which is further aggravated by the absence of stakeholder communication and cooperation. A conceptual cluster model for the management of creative tourism destinations based on heritage resources and other local resources is proposed.

Title: Bottom-up approach for downscaling CO2 emissions in Taiwan: robustness analysis and policy implications
Abstract: 
 The roles and responsibilities of cities in CO2 mitigation have drawn increasing attention in recent years. To facilitate optimal design of effective mitigation policies, it is important for city authorities to understand the magnitudes and sources of their CO2 emissions, and their relative shares of emissions at a higher spatial level. Although several studies estimate CO2 emissions at the city level, the robustness of these estimates and their linkage to emissions at a higher level remains unclear. This kind of localized information on emissions is important for coordination of climate policies at different spatial scales. The study aims to fill a gap in understanding by building a systematic bottom-up approach for estimating urban CO2 emissions and offering a consistency check with IPCC top–down estimates. Using Taiwan as a case study, we display the geographic distribution of CO2 emissions. The significance and implications of the downscaling CO2 emissions are indicated accordingly.

Title: Towards an agile participatory urban soundscape planning framework
Abstract: 
 This paper presents an agile participatory urban soundscape planning process model, which is proposed as a prerequisite on which to build and reference the efficacy of urban soundscape planning. The model was developed through data synthesis and analysis and mapping engagement with diverse stakeholders across four applied soundscape projects in Brighton and Hove, UK. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the model is the first of its kind in applied soundscape practice. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and document analysis of published resources. The framework used for the analysis of the findings comprised four core urban planning stages: goals and objectives, engagement (e.g. prediction/modelling/design/planning), implications, evaluation. The study found that when integrating soundscape planning with core urban planning stages it was necessary to first identify the appropriate stakeholders in relation to the project context. It was found that these stakeholders could be wide-ranging and unexpected, thereby reinforcing the appropriateness of incorporating an agile approach in the resulting model. The study also found that users’ perceptions are central to soundscape practice and need to be considered at each stage of a planning process to produce an effective and sustainable outcome. A variety of specific events, appropriate to the requirements of the stakeholders, are important for engaging planning authorities, users and other stakeholders at different stages. This study also demonstrated that an evidence-based evaluation method is recommended in an agile participatory urban soundscape planning process to assess stakeholders’ engagement at each stage and to inform and guide subsequent steps in the planning process relevant to the local context(s).

Title: Economic performance and carbon intensity of human well-being: empirical evidence from the MENA region
Abstract: 
 Our paper explores the effect of economic performance variables on the carbon intensity of human well-being (CIWB) for 13 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region over the period (1995–2013). We use a time-series cross-sectional Prais–Winsten regression model with panel-corrected standard errors (PCSEs). We find that economic performance has a statistically significant positive influence on CIWB over the period in question; thus, economic performance harms the environment, but the final effect deviates to a constant level after a while. This finding is not encouraging from the economic sustainability point of view. On the contrary, we find that total health expenditure has a statistically significant negative impact on CIWB by increasing life expectancy, which means less stress on the environment.

Title: Integrating nature-based tourism and forestry in private lands under heterogeneous visitor preferences for forest attributes
Abstract: 
 Developing nature-based tourism in private lands calls for new mechanisms to consolidate the interests of the tourism industry, visitors, and landowners. This choice experiment study elaborates on the heterogeneity of visitors’ preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for enhanced forest amenities and ecosystem services. The survey, targeting domestic and foreign tourists visiting the Ruka-Kuusamo area in Finland, considered four attributes: landscape quality, outdoor routes, forest biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. For observed heterogeneity, the visitors were grouped by their attitudes towards forest management. Unobserved heterogeneity in visitors’ choice behaviour and WTP was examined with the latent class model. While most visitors had environmentally friendly attitudes and were willing to pay, especially for enhanced landscape quality and biodiversity, considerable heterogeneity was revealed in terms of three segments with distinctive attitudes, choice behaviour and WTP. The variation in WTP has important implications for the design of a scheme of payments for environmental management.

Title: Coupling a settlement growth model with an agro-economic land allocation model for securing ecosystem services provision
Abstract: 
 Mountain landscapes are undergoing rapid land-use changes. Settlement expansion, the intensification of agricultural land-use practices, and farmland abandonment result in a decline of natural and semi-natural habitats and the related ecosystem services (ES). In this context, spatial planning has emerged as a key instrument for the management of ES provision. To better understand trade-offs and interactions between settlement growth and ES provision in a spatially explicit manner, we present a new modeling framework coupling an agent-based, agro-economic optimization model and a cellular-automata-based settlement growth model. The framework is applied in an inner alpine valley in the Valais, Switzerland, which experienced rapid settlement growth in recent years. Results demonstrate how the model framework allows support of local planning processes. Particularly cooperation among municipalities and an explicit consideration of ES can inform spatially explicit ES trade-off decisions under increasing demand for land. We conclude that better informed spatial planning processes support ES provision.

Title: Defining success over time for large landscape conservation organizations
Abstract: 
 Transboundary issues, like climate change, threaten the health of natural ecosystems. To address these problems, management is taking place at larger geographic scales and across political boundaries. Although landscapes are considered the suitable scale for conservation, limited research exists on how members of large landscape conservation organizations (LLCOs) define success. The Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) and the Southern Appalachian Man and the Biosphere Cooperative (SAMAB) are two LLCOs that support collaboration for the conservation of the Northern Rockies and the Southern Appalachian regions. We analyze the diverse interpretations of success among SAMAB and CMP participants during different stages of the organizations’ life cycle. Of particular importance is how members emphasize intangible successes such as relationships and the cascading effects LLCOs can have on other projects and organizations. This research provides insight into the distinct niche LLCOs fill in transboundary ecosystem management.

Title: Patterns of biodiversity and habitat sensitivity in agricultural landscapes
Abstract: 
 Design of landscape is the process of the arrangement of spatial features with the objective of sustaining ecosystem services, and maintaining ecological functionality to meet societal needs. Along a gradient of cultivation intensity, the functional quality of agricultural landscape was explored and the relationships between landscape metrics and functional quality were analyzed, in order to make effective recommendations for landscape design aimed at sustainable land use schemes. The functional quality of landscape was calculated using the InVest model for 20 farm landscapes (North-Eastern Italy) where biodiversity (plant taxa) and sensitivity to disturbance (hemeroby) were used as model inputs. Results highlighted the importance of specific habitat types such as meadows and woodlands rather than other habitats for improving the biodiversity of agricultural landscapes. A high proportion of these habitats enhanced the functional quality of the landscape when the habitats were organized in large and not isolated patches in heterogeneous landscapes.

Title: A landscape vulnerability analysis method proposal and its integration in the EIA
Abstract: 
 Landscape is the area primarily affected by proposed human projects. The prediction and evaluation of the potential anthropogenic impacts under Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is therefore one of the major environmental tools for prevention of any deteriorative or destructive actions. To conduct EIA properly requires inclusion of a determination of landscape vulnerability which expresses the possible landscape reaction to impacts of any exogenous factors. When it is designated correctly, the suitable human activities are determined more accurately. Even though many techniques for this have been suggested worldwide, lots of deficiencies have surfaced in their application. This paper presents a method for landscape vulnerability analysis which consists of qualitative evaluation of landscape receptors, their scoring, the vulnerability degree calculation, and overall reliability evaluation. The method proposed can improve the impact objectivity of prediction and evaluation and the suggestion of precise mitigation measures with the purpose of achieving sustainable landscape management.

Title: Environmental innovation activities and patenting: Germany reconsidered
Abstract: 
 This paper provides new econometric evidence on the determinants of eco-innovations by using multiple innovation indicators and by combining survey-based information and patent records at the firm level from two different time periods. We hypothesize that firms with a propensity to patent focus on future technological and market opportunities and do not directly or immediately react to incentives created by environmental policies. Based on negative binomial models, we confirm that eco-patents are stimulated by the expectation of creating technological advancement and new market opportunities. By contrast, energy cost savings can better or more easily be achieved when firms refrain from patenting and concentrate on non-patented innovations or adoption. Favorable framework conditions created by environmental policies and patent protection are also important for eco-patenting, but more in the longer term. Testing the validity of using self-reported eco-innovations, instead of patents, as the dependent variable in simple binomial probit models reveals that product eco-innovations as reported in the surveys are a relatively good proxy for eco-patents. Yet, for product eco-innovations, serving and enlarging current markets is another important reason to innovate.

Title: Forest resources consumption pattern in Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, Western Himalaya, India
Abstract: 
 In the present study, forest biomass (fuelwood, leaf fodder, leaf-litter and non-timber forest products) consumption patterns have been evaluated in the villages of Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, Uttarakhand, Western Himalaya, India. The average fuelwood consumption in the selected villages was estimated at 3.14 kg/capita/day and its energy equivalent was found 52.74 MJ/capita/day. The average leaf fodder and leaf-litter consumption was estimated at 2.70 and 2.40 kg/unit/day, respectively, and the same pattern was estimated for energy equivalent. People's perception on impacts of conservation measures and resources utilization rights were also analysed. Our results emphasized the need for regular assessment of forest resources, particularly in protected areas, where access to natural resources have been denied due to legal restrictions. The study could be a pilot to strengthen the conservation measures across the protected area network by understanding the dynamics of anthropocentric activities and their subsequent impacts on forest resources.

Title: Evaluating soundscape intentions in landscape architecture: a study of competition entries for a new cemetery in Järva, Stockholm
Abstract: 
 While soundscape is increasingly acknowledged within landscape planning and design discourse, there is little research that clarifies how soundscapes are actually dealt with in landscape architecture practice – partly owing to methodological insufficiencies. This paper, therefore, describes a model for evaluating soundscape treatment in landscape design proposals, focusing on three key aspects. With the dual aim of testing the model, and learning more about how soundscape is approached in practice, the paper spotlights a major design competition for a new cemetery in Sweden. The model proved fruitful and easy to apply. It showed that only limited attention was paid to soundscape in the competition as a whole, and was a useful means of pinpointing proposals where soundscape was fully considered as a design feature; one competition entry that did so is described in the paper. Discussions cover design practice, trends in the competition and model application.

Title: A multi-criteria framework to assess the sustainability of renewable energy development in the Alps
Abstract: 
 A multi-criteria analysis (MCA) was implemented to assess the best solutions for enhancing the production of renewable energy in the Alps. A set of criteria were selected based on the impacts of four renewable energy sources (forest biomass, hydropower, ground solar photovoltaic and wind power) on the three spheres of sustainability (environmental, social and economic). Three different scenarios are presented, each with a different set of weights for the criteria: the first scenario considers equally all three aspects of sustainability; the second scenario foresees an environmentally-oriented perspective, while the third scenario is more focused on the socio-economic aspects related to the development of renewable energy. Results show that forest biomass and hydropower seem to be the most viable solutions for enhancing the share of renewable energy in the Alps. Ground solar photovoltaic and wind power, on the other hand, seem to be less attractive alternatives due to their high impacts on land use.

Title: How planners and stakeholders learn with visualization tools: using learning sciences methods to examine planning processes
Abstract: 
 Planning researchers traditionally conceptualize learning as cognitive changes in individuals. In this tradition, scholars assess learning with pre- and post-measures of understandings or beliefs. While valuable for documenting individual change, such methods leave unexamined the social processes in which planners think, act, and learn in groups, which often involve the use of technical tools. The present interdisciplinary research program used Learning Sciences research methods, including conversation analysis, interaction analysis, and visualization of discourse codes, to understand how tools like agent-based models and geographic information systems mediate learning in planning groups. The objective was to understand how the use of these tools in participatory planning can help stakeholders learn about complex environmental problems, to make more informed judgments about the future. The paper provides three cases that illustrate the capacity of such research methods to provide insights into planning groups’ learning processes, and the mediating roles of planning tools.

Title: Social aspects of ‘climate change communication’ in the 21st century: a bibliometric view
Abstract: 
 Climate change communication integrates climate education theory and practices. It indicates the public understanding of scientific knowledge on climate change, communicative context, public engagement, and adaption. It is important to communicate climate change messages successfully to various groups in society, including residents, environmental educators, policymakers, researchers, to increase public understanding of climate change. This study examines 454 journals, 1,408 articles and 51,786 references to explore the intellectual development and research fronts in the knowledge area of climate change communication.

Title: Managing stormwater runoff in Appalachia: what does the public think?
Abstract: 
 As concerns about urban stormwater runoff become more acute and decentralized management gains popularity, there is a need to better understand public attitudes about stormwater management. We surveyed residents in Appalachia to assess knowledge about stormwater runoff, concerns about impacts, efforts to abate runoff on private property, and attitudes towards who should manage and pay for management. The survey also employed a split sample technique to assess how detailed, science-based information documenting negative impacts influences public concern and attitudes toward stormwater management. The results show the majority of respondents know what stormwater runoff is, but they know less about what its impacts are. About a third of respondents have implemented stormwater abatement measures on their property. There is no consensus on who should manage or pay for stormwater management. Providing more detailed science-based information had no influence on respondents’ general concern about stormwater runoff or their attitudes about its management.

Title: A spatial analysis of air pollution and environmental inequality in Beijing, 2000–2010
Abstract: 
 Whilst air pollution is a major problem in China, little is known about how it is distributed socially and how such distributions are changing over time. We use a fine-grained population census and air quality data for 2000 and 2010 to explore socio-spatial and temporal inequalities in air pollution for Beijing, using distributional analyses and spatial regression models. We find that environmental inequalities exist with respect to measures of social disadvantage, such as hukou migrant status, very young children (0–4 years), and the elderly (≥65 years). Our temporal analysis reveals that environmental inequality increases for migrants and the elderly, who bear a disproportionate and increasing share of declining air quality from 2000 to 2010. Regression results emphasise the spatial and temporal variations in environmental inequality, as the associations between air pollution and social demographics differ between different urban zones of Beijing; and their geographic patterns change significantly over time.

Title: Public acceptance towards waste-to-energy power plants: a new quantified assessment based on “willingness to pay”
Abstract: 
 This article estimates the impact of residential risk perception on the willingness to pay (WTP) to avoid having waste-to-energy (WTE) power plants in the neighborhood. The filed survey shows that 63.4% of the respondents protested for various reasons. It is noteworthy that house owners indicate a greater willingness for resettlement than house renters. However, residents who take WTE incineration facilities into consideration before settlement are more inclined to oppose the payment for facility relocation. Determinants of protest and supportive responses are evaluated by the sample selection method (SSM). Empirical results show that the average WTP for avoiding WTE facilities being sited in the neighborhood is 2,160 CNY, which is reliable because we include protest responses in the estimation process. Housing price, gender, and living area are decisive factors for the WTP value; in particular, the marginal effect of exaggerated risk perception on WTP amounts to 1,074 CNY.

Title: Embedding green infrastructure evaluation in neighbourhood masterplans – does BREEAM communities change anything?
Abstract: 
 Green Infrastructure (GI) evaluation is reported to improve the sustainability of neighbourhood masterplans, but there has been little research examining the links between GI evaluation and masterplan decision-making. A study of six English masterplanned sites was carried out, with paired case studies reflecting three types of neighbourhood development (estate regeneration, urban infill, and rural-urban extension) to examine whether the sustainable neighbourhood standard, BREEAM Communities (BC), affected GI evaluation and masterplan decisions. In each of three pairs, one site had adopted BC and one had not. Strategy-as-Practice provided a conceptual framework to analyse 13 evaluative episodes, based on 48 interviews and public documents. The analysis revealed that GI-related recommendations were typically deprioritised at later masterplan stages, despite earlier decisions or the application of BC. Potential ways to enhance the embeddedness of GI evaluative practice include improving practitioners’ understanding of GI and increasing accountability at later masterplan stages, such as through sustainability reporting.

Title: Policy gap analysis of decentralized wastewater management on a developed pacific island
Abstract: 
 On-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) are designed to treat wastewater on site, in a decentralized manner. If sited or managed poorly, OWTS can become significant sources of contamination to streams and marine waters. We conducted an assessment of Hawaiʻi’s legal, regulatory, and management provisions of OWTS in relation to the US EPA’s recommended guidelines that are meant to reduce failures and protect human and environmental health. We assessed Hawaiʻi’s capacities to meet US EPA’s recommendations and best management practices. We found that although the state implements some programs and regulations that meet the guidelines, many are missing. The analysis shows a deficiency in a number of areas, including alignment between land use and watershed-based planning, performance goals, inventory of systems, public outreach, homeowner education, and mechanisms that ensure regular upkeep and maintenance. Policy recommendations are provided to increase capacities to better plan for and manage OWTS in Hawaiʻi.

Title: The design of public participation: who participates, when and how? Insights in climate adaptation planning from the Netherlands
Abstract: 
 The planning and implementation of climate adaptation measures requires the participation of citizens. The design of public participation is often determined by local government. Yet, it remains largely unclear to what extent there is deliberate design of participation efforts and which objectives are served with the designs put into practice. This article reviews three cases of adaptation planning in the Netherlands, using a theory-derived framework that links the design of public participation with nine different objectives that participation could have. These case studies illustrate that participants did not depart from an explicitly formulated and agreed-upon objective, leading to a design of the participatory process that was highly contingent. The findings suggest that a more systematic and deliberate approach, in which both the objectives and the design of public participation are communicated explicitly, and are discussed by participants, increases the chance that the objectives are met.

Title: The landscape profile method as a new tool for sustainable urban planning
Abstract: 
 Work on landscape diversification resulting from the European Landscape Convention obliges European countries to identify and assess the state of their landscapes. The aim of this article is to test a new method of landscape profiling, enabling measurement of the extent of anthropogenic transformation of a landscape and indication of zones of landscape disturbance. The method is based on an interdisciplinary analysis of various aspects of the landscape, consisting of an assessment of the degree of overlap between natural and non-natural boundaries. Three types of relationships were identified: landscape convergence (LC), landscape divergence (LD), and zone of landscape disturbance (ZLD). This analysis makes it easier for urban planners to change their existing land development plans. The method can be used universally to detect inappropriate land development, which is important in diagnosing the condition of landscapes and can be used in the spatial planning of cities and suburban zones.

Title: The influence of group maturity on community-based environmental management in Kenya
Abstract: 
 Decentralized environmental management is a widespread conservation strategy in Africa, yet a better understanding of how community-based programs evolve is critical to success. We conducted 10 focus groups to assess how stakeholder groups in community-based conservancies mature with time, comparing two older, more established conservancies with three younger ones. We tested a Group Maturity Model to determine how conservancy age relates to group characteristics, including worldview, internal processes, external links, and lifespan. Conservancies changed over time, with older programs having higher maturity scores than younger programs. Stakeholder maturity scores within groups did not differ, yet qualitative differences among conservancies revealed important developmental elements for community-based programs. Our results suggest ways to use the Group Maturity Model to facilitate environmental management evaluation. Community-based environmental management projects can use group maturity evaluation to identify potential interventions for enhancing program efficacy.

Title: Prioritizing the protection of climate refugia: designing a climate-ready protected area network
Abstract: 
 Protected areas are the primary strategy for maintaining natural landscapes and separating biodiversity features from preventable anthropogenic threats. The Convention on Biological Diversity calls for the coverage of at least 17% of land by protected areas, and the strategic prioritization of important biodiversity areas. Using the spatially explicit reserve design software, Marxan, this study combines climate refugia modelled under future climates in the year 2070 and bioregions to identify priority sites for protected area expansion under climate change in the state of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Priority sites for new protected areas that meet bioregion and climate refugia targets were identified in central-western, northeast and patches of southeast NSW. Seven existing parks, including Kosciuszko National Park, overlapped with regions identified repeatedly as climate refugia under 12 future climate scenarios. The recommendations from this study support policy-makers in prioritizing the protection of biodiversity under a changing and uncertain climate.

Title: Distributing power? Community energy projects' experiences of planning, policy and incumbents in the devolved nations of Scotland and Wales
Abstract: 
 Community-owned energy projects are viewed as compelling contributors towards renewable energy targets. They contribute to curtailing the use of carbon intensive energy sources, consequently aiding mitigation of climate change, and can contribute towards a sustainable, localised economy. The success and expansion of the sector varies. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the development of the sector between sub-state nations. This qualitative, comparative study looks at the sector in the sub-state, devolved nations of Wales and Scotland within the UK. Through a series of in-depth interviews with community energy practitioners in four case study sites in Scotland and Wales, this study shows how policy and governance practices can influence the sector and those working at grassroots level. The study shows a disparity in confidence and outlook for the sector, based on the perceived (in)effective governance in each devolved nation.

Title: Sustainability Appraisal in neighbourhood planning in England
Abstract: 
 The preparation of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) inclusive sustainability appraisals (SAs) for neighbourhood plans (NPs) in England may be required when significant environmental effects are expected to arise from an NP. In this paper, we report on the result of a Ph.D. project, conducted between 2012 and 2015, in which all 15 NP SEA inclusive SAs that had been completed at the time were evaluated. In this context, the quality of SA practice was found to differ substantially. SAs were prepared either ‘in-house’ (i.e. by neighbourhood planning steering groups) or by consultants. The quality of SAs was found to be associated with their overall perceived degree of influence on the underlying NPs. Whilst the focus of this paper is on practice in England, findings are expected to be of interest to a wider international audience, in particular to those experimenting with voluntary neighbourhood/local level plan SA/SEA.

Title: Social consequences associated with the use of various optimization methods in the protection of air quality
Abstract: 
 The fundamental tactics employed by the EU against air contamination, which are intended to maintain concentrations at a level that does not exceed the permissible values, usually entail considerable expense. To reduce this to a minimum, the procedure of economic optimization of air quality can be applied. When performed for a heavily polluted industrial city, it shows that it is possible to maintain concentrations below the threshold of air quality standards with relatively moderate expenditure. These evaluations also reveal that variations in population density distribution call into question the conventional wisdom that uniform air quality standards provide the best protection against air contamination for a whole region. On the contrary, an optimization that forces a drop in concentration to be evenly spread over the population, without reference to air quality standards, may lead to more efficient protection of human health and make no difference to overall expenditure.

Title: Managing uncertainties through scenario analysis in strategic environmental assessment
Abstract: 
 Planning for the future is uncertain, and scenario analysis is a method of coping with the uncertainties of future plans. This paper addresses how to deal with future uncertainties by using scenario analysis as a possible approach for conducting a strategic environmental assessment (SEA). Although scenario-based approaches have been linked to strategic planning and SEA, this paper for the first time proposes how a combined approach may be implemented using specific tools and methodologies and, further on, it also implements the first three stages of the six stages proposed for the ‘scenario-based strategic planning’ approach. This work is an attempt to standardize SEA and scenario analysis as a combined approach. The three stages are tested within the Tourism Development Plan of the Iranian province of Gilan, which has been selected as a case study.

Title: Advancing voluntary chemical governance? The case of the Swedish textile industry dialogue
Abstract: 
 Voluntary environmental governance is a widely used policy approach that has been criticized for its lack of effectiveness. This raises fundamental questions about how to design processes that can advance voluntary programmes in a way that makes them more successful. In this paper, we analyse a government-initiated dialogue process to phase out hazardous chemicals through voluntary action by the Swedish textile industry. The analysis shows that information transfer primarily motivated business participation, while consumer pressure, regulatory threats and traditions of government–business cooperation played minor roles. The institutional design of the dialogue ensured close interaction within a homogeneous group, but collective actions were limited by disagreement about the problems to be addressed, prior unilateral environmental commitments by leading companies, and ambivalent engagement. This case provides valuable insights into the effect of institutional design on the actual interplay between business and government and its effects on voluntary governance.

Title: An analysis of university sustainability reports from the GRI database: an examination of influential variables
Abstract: 
 In the business context, many papers have examined whether certain variables can affect sustainability disclosure practices. However, research on universities has mainly been addressed to explore the extent of sustainability information reported with little focus on determining the factors that may affect it. This paper analyzes the influence exerted by some variables concerning the extent of information reported in the university sustainability reports included in this study. To accomplish this task, data were collected using a content analysis of the university sustainability reports extracted from the GRI sustainability disclosure database. The findings reveal that sustainability disclosure practices by universities are explained by different factors, among which are institutionalization, geographical region, external assurance and leadership. Such results are supported jointly by the underpinnings of the institutional and legitimacy theories in response to coercive and mimetic pressures and by the need to improve reputation in society.

Title: Who participates in conservation initiatives? Case studies in six rural communities of Mexico
Abstract: 
 Previous studies attempting to explain the factors that determine local participation in conservation initiatives have concluded that socio-political exclusion is the main barrier to being involved in such initiatives. Such studies have not differentiated between different types of conservation initiatives. In this paper, we contribute to the literature analyzing the socio-cultural correlates of participation, by differentiating between participation in three types of conservation schemes: protected areas, payment for environmental services, and community conservation. We use data obtained from six rural communities in Mexico, where different combinations of conservation schemes are found. Through linear regression analysis, we explore the relationship between participation and (1) the community of residence; (2) demographics; and (3) socioeconomic characteristics of individuals. Our results suggest that local participation in conservation strategies depends, to a large extent, on the socio-political context in which they are embedded and that the exclusion of women and young adults is clearly consistent.

Title: Mapping vulnerability to extreme heat events: lessons from metropolitan Chicago
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we develop an approach for identifying the location of populations most vulnerable to extreme heat events and how those locations change over time. We scan the literature on measuring vulnerability, especially sensitivity and adaptive capacity of populations. We employ Census data for metropolitan Chicago for the years 1990, 2000, and 2010, and maximum likelihood factor analysis to derive an index and map the distribution of Census tracts where residents exhibit greater sensitivity and/or lower adaptive capacity to extreme heat. Our findings show a pattern of deconcentration and decentralization of these populations within the city and region over time, with gentrification and the suburbanization of poverty trends observed in many US metropolitan regions as possible contributing factors. Finally, we discuss the implications of these findings for planning efforts in the study area and offer suggestions for further research.

Title: Assessing municipal-level governance responses to climate change in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Abstract: 
 The 2011 Durban Adaptation Charter for Local Governments calls on local governments, worldwide, to institutionalise climate response, with the aim of minimising the impacts of climate change on local livelihoods and vulnerable communities. This paper, through the use of case studies, in-depth interviews and document review, assesses how three non-metropolitan municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal, a district municipality, and two local municipalities under its jurisdiction, are responding to this call. The results suggest that while the municipalities have adopted measures to institutionalise climate responses, the responses are relatively new and implementation is slow, complex and fraught with limitations and competing demands. Furthermore, there appears to be a lack of co-ordination of responses between the two levels of government, which has the potential to lead to duplication. Given the multi-scalar nature of climate change, emphasis on co-ordination and the inclusion of all municipal departments in the development and implementation of responses is necessary.

Title: Local sustainability processes worldwide: a systematic review of the literature and research agenda
Abstract: 
 This article presents a systematic literature review of 109 articles (1992–2015) dealing with Local Agenda 21 processes worldwide. It analyzes two essential elements of Local Agenda 21: (1) the holistic approach of the sustainable development concept and (2) the main driving forces behind such processes. It shows that, although at the beginning, sustainability was seen as a natural extension of environmental policy work, it has been perceived over recent years as a guiding principle applied to issues of environment, economic development, and social welfare, and Local Agenda 21 is perceived as a coherent approach to sustainability planning. In addition, Local Government Strategy is the main typology followed, although it suffers from important limitations. Future studies could focus on local sustainability process outcomes. Further quantitative studies would be welcome, given the qualitative case study dominance in the field. We conclude with a research agenda to tackle theoretical, methodological, and empirical lacunae.

Title: The territorial dimension of environmental sustainability in Italy along the urban–rural continuum
Abstract: 
 Single territories contribute in different ways to the transition towards a more environmentally sustainable development (SD), according to their structural features. This study returns a multi-dimensional picture of the territorial divides of environmental sustainability across Italy, analysing how it correlates with rurality, with a focus on the urban–rural continuum. Italy represents an interesting case study because of its peculiar territorial urban–rural structure. We first assess the environmental sustainability targets across Italian NUTS 3 regions and their capital cities using two composite sustainability indexes, by referring to both standard values (i.e. conforming to legislation) and optimum values (i.e. desired values). Then, we investigate the relationship between environmental sustainability and rurality. Results suggest that a positive link between the two exists, being stronger at city level. Among major policy implications, the environmental dimensions of territorial cohesion should be integrated more strongly in key European policies to reach a more balanced SD.

Title: Spatial planning and electric vehicles. A qualitative case study of horizontal and vertical organisational interplay in southern Sweden
Abstract: 
 The use of electric-powered vehicles (EV) is experiencing a boom in some countries. Much research has been conducted on the technology per se; however, there is a research gap regarding institutional spatial planning practice concerning EVs. Here, an empirical analysis was made of planners’ interpretations of opportunities and obstacles to integration of EVs in southern Sweden. The results revealed a lack of interplay between local and regional administrations and showed that the agenda is run by individual bureaucrats rather than being based on official strategies. Moreover, there appears to be a lack of horizontal interplay within some organisations, while new arenas are being formed by actors within and outside government. The reason for formation of such external EV networks may be a single actor not being able to push the issue forward alone, due to a fragmented organisation, or a lack of clear external task formulation at central government level.

Title: An empirical study of spatial-temporal growth patterns of a voluntary residential green infrastructure program
Abstract: 
 Voluntary residential green infrastructure (GI) stormwater management retrofit programs can help cities comply with environmental regulations while also improving quality of life. Previous research has identified influential factors in residents’ willingness to adopt GI, but few have simultaneously studied the spatial and temporal dynamics of GI. I use a six-year record of participation in a voluntary residential GI program in Washington DC to explore how neighborhood characteristics and social influence affect GI adoption over time. Statistical regression and Monte Carlo permutation resampling techniques are used to explain the spatial-temporal patterns of growth of the program. I demonstrate empirical evidence that participation location is increasingly determined by the locations of previous participants. These findings suggest that past participants will increasingly influence spatial clustering of GI in the city.

Title: From leaders to majority: a frontrunner paradox in built-environment climate governance experimentation
Abstract: 
 This paper seeks to better understand the possible paradox of frontrunners in experimental climate governance. This paradox refers to the situation where frontrunners are required to push boundaries in terms of developing governance innovations and to experiment with these, but where, at the same time, a too strong focus on frontrunners may result in a situation where lessons from these experiments and the innovations developed do not resonate with the majority. In such a situation, an innovation may not be capable of being scaled up or of being transferred to another context. This paper draws lessons from a series of nine experimental and innovative governance instruments for low-carbon building development and transformation in Australia. It points out that for these instruments the frontrunners paradox provides a partial explanation as to why they have not yet been able to scale up from a small group of industry leaders to the large majority.

Title: How multilateral financial institutions promote sustainable water infrastructure planning through economic appraisal: case studies from coastal cities of China
Abstract: 
 Sustainable urban water infrastructure planning is vital for all cities in developing countries, where rapid urbanization has exacerbated the increasingly burdened environment. Water sustainability is a prerequisite for economic growth, social equity, and living quality in urban areas. This paper documents the current challenges and summarizes the solutions adopted in water infrastructure planning and management. Then, case studies of how multilateral financial institutions have promoted sustainable water infrastructure planning through economic appraisal and the novel approaches adopted for sustainable water infrastructure planning and asset management, are presented for the three cities of Jiaozhou, Cixi, and Fangchenggang. Conclusions are made based on the comparison and analysis of the experiences drawn from the case studies of how economic analysis could help promote sustainable water infrastructure planning and management. It is illustrated that economic analysis that considers ecosystem services supply should be employed more in water infrastructure planning, operation, and management in China.

Title: Managing invasive plants in a rural-amenity landscape: the role of social capital and Landcare
Abstract: 
 Rural-amenity migration is changing the social and ecological compositions of landscapes globally. The in-migration of new landholders is contributing to significant biophysical changes to rural landscapes, as well as the weakening of collective awareness, knowledge and skills needed to manage natural resources. This is leading to the proliferation of environmental harm. This paper focuses on invasive plants as one such harm, detailing how collective action is developed and challenged in a rural landscape undergoing increasing property turnover and diversifying management priorities. Focusing on the role of a Landcare group, located in southern New South Wales, Australia, I explore how social capital – with a particular focus on trust and social norms – is mobilised to recruit newly arrived residents and maintain commitment among landholders to manage invasive plants. This research provides insights into how policy can better steer management interventions, particularly how to develop and maintain collective action in diversifying rural landscapes.

Title: An empirical analysis of green switching intentions in the airline industry
Abstract: 
 The purpose of this research is to gain an empirical understanding of airline passengers’ green switching intentions. A conceptual research model is used as a framework to examine the relationships among the experiential quality dimensions, green perceived value, green corporate image, green experiential satisfaction, green corporate reputation, green experiential loyalty and green switching intentions for the airline industry. The data used in this paper were based on a sample of 615 passengers who experienced the eco-friendly services of China Airlines, indicating that the proposed model fitted the data. The study's result will assist airline management to develop and implement market-orientated service strategies to increase the experiential quality dimensions, green perceived value, green corporate image, green experiential satisfaction, green corporate reputation and green experiential loyalty in order to decrease passengers’ green switching intentions.

Title: Interactive environmental planning: creating utopias and storylines within a mobilities planning project
Abstract: 
 This article presents a research project on mobility management in Danish municipalities aimed at creating more sustainable mobilities. The project, called Formula M (2011–2014), worked within sciences, public and private sectors, and civil society. Often contemporary projects in both planning and designing sustainable mobilities fall short when it comes to changing praxis to limit CO2 emissions, where they just concentrate on technocratic elements. They often neglect the ‘why’ and ‘for what’ which is needed in order to drive such change. In the Formula M project, focus has been on supporting the planners involved in the project on their ‘why’ and ‘for what’. Based on a theoretical understanding of relational and collaborative planning the article contributes to an understanding of which approaches and methods can be used to facilitate the relationships and dialogues between many actors. Methodologically, this has been sought through a specific focus on the role of utopias as a tool for storytelling.

Title: Pilgrimage route recovery in an industrial landscape
Abstract: 
 Pilgrimage is an activity having a long tradition within the European historical context, and it has contributed to the overall spiritual aspect of European landscapes. Since the nineteenth century, however, the mining industry has strongly transformed many of those landscapes. The intangible cultural and spiritual values have been neglected in the process of mine rehabilitation. The aim of the present paper is to introduce a methodological approach to recovering the pilgrimage tradition in a post-mining landscape. The approach was developed in a case study regarding recovery of the Czech Republic's Osek–Mariánské Radšice pilgrimage route. Applying the principles of preservation, paraphrasing, evocation, and a new structure, the methodological framework for pilgrimage route recovery was designed and a variety of methodological issues regarding conflict between industrialism and the holy spirit of the original landscape were addressed.

Title: Cause, catalyst or conjunction? The influence of the Habitats Directive on policy instrument choice in Member States
Abstract: 
 In the process of implementing EU policy, Member States sometimes introduce new policy instruments in cases where this is not obligatory. To better understand this phenomenon, this paper reviews three cases in which new instruments emerged and develops a methodology to trace back the influence of EU Directives on instrument choice. The method is illustrated by a narrative of the emergence of new management planning instruments during the implementation of the EU Habitats Directive in three EU Member States: Finland, Hungary and the Netherlands. Three key features of a policy instrument are defined, namely, its authoritative force, action content and governance design. These are used to measure the contribution of the Habitats Directive compared to other potential explanatory causes for the emergence of the new policy instrument. In all three reviewed countries a nested causal relationship between the Habitats Directive and the introduction of the new policy instrument is identified. Based on the relative contribution of the Habitats Directive to the emergence of the new instrument a distinction is made whether the Directive acted as a cause, catalyst or if conjunction occurred.

Title: In-between regional disparities and spatial heterogeneity: a multivariate analysis of territorial divides in Italy
Abstract: 
 Processes such as economic polarization, social disparities and the asymmetric distribution of natural capital are becoming progressively more interlinked in developed countries and may reflect the uneven decline of the ‘centre-periphery’ model. The assessment of regional disparities and spatial heterogeneity in socioeconomic phenomena is a key issue in regional studies and takes advantage of the use of multi-domain frameworks and decision support systems. We performed an exploratory analysis of 133 indicators assessing seven thematic domains (demography/settlements, labour market, economic structure, quality of life, agriculture/rural development, landscape/water, environment/soil resources) with the aim of investigating regional disparities in Italy in the light of territorial changes driven by urbanization, industrial decentralization, agricultural intensification and land abandonment. The results of our study indicate that latitude, elevation and urban gradients have determined a complex spatial pattern in both socioeconomic and environmental variables in Italy. The proposed approach provides an overall assessment of the intensity of territorial disparities on a regional scale for each thematic domain, and of intra-region spatial heterogeneity for each indicator, representing a decision-making tool for policies targeting a sustainable and spatially balanced development.

Title: Understanding consumer behaviour and adaptation planning responses to climate-driven environmental change in Canada's parks and protected areas: a climate futurescapes approach
Abstract: 
 Parks and protected areas are a global ecological, social and health resource visited by over 8 billion people annually. Their use can yield substantial benefits, but only if a balance between ecological integrity and sustainable visitation is struck. This research explores the potential influence of climate-driven environmental change on visitation to North America's most popular glacier, the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park, Canada. Photorealistic environmental visualizations were used to gauge visitors’ perceptions of environmental change and potential impacts on consumer behaviour. Results suggest that impacts could substantially diminish the site's pull as a tourism destination. Rather than improving visitation prospects, expert-proposed adaptations underestimated the importance of perceived naturalness and contributed to further potential decline. Findings are relevant to protected areas planning and management. They suggest that a natural path to climate change adaptation is the best way to support both ecological integrity and the long-term tourism pull of protected areas.

Title: Missing the trees for the forest? Bottom-up policy implementation and adaptive management in the US natural resource bureaucracy
Abstract: 
 For decades, natural resource agencies in the United States have attempted to restore ecosystems using adaptive management, a process that emphasizes experimental learning to reduce uncertainty. Most studies show that it rarely occurs in practice and explain implementation failures as organizational issues. This study draws on policy implementation theory to suggest that behaviors and attitudes of individuals may better explain implementation gaps. This comparative case study finds differences between experts implementing adaptive management in the Fish and Wildlife Service and the United States Geological Survey. These include differences in attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors aimed at promoting individual autonomy, performance standards, and defending individual interests on the job. Policy implications are twofold: first, that individual behaviors impact adaptive management implementation and intrinsic motivation to perform such functions. Second, regardless of agency, experts view their work as a social good. This suggests that a devolved planning process may remedy implementation obstacles.

Title: Water-smart growth planning: linking water and land in the arid urbanizing American West
Abstract: 
 Linking water and land is essential in planning for the future of the western United States. We propose the concept of ‘water-smart growth’ and explore its implications through incorporating water considerations into the SLEUTH land-use model. The urban growth trajectory in Cache County, Utah, is modeled from 2007 to 2030 under four different scenarios: current trend; smart growth; water-smart growth with moderate implementation; and water-smart growth with full implementation. Comparisons of simulation results illustrate the extent and ways in which water-smart growth would alter current established land-use growth patterns. The approach represents an initial step to better integrate land and water in urban growth modeling and planning. This study's purposes are to provide improved understanding and representation of linkages between water and land in urbanizing environments, offer insights from a set of modeled options, and demonstrate the significance of integrating land and water in planning practices.

Title: Perceptions of visibility degradation in Hong Kong
Abstract: 
 The human dimensions of visibility degradation remain under-researched academically. Based on Zube and Sell's Process Model of the Perception of, and Response to, Environmental Change, a questionnaire survey was conducted in Hong Kong between 5 June 2012 and 26 January 2013 (n = 1,203). The respondents’ perceptions towards visibility degradation were collected. The results show that respondents were moderately knowledgeable to visibility degradation, perceiving the problem as anthropogenic and unfavorable and identifying the fight against the degradation as an important environmental issue. It is further deduced that the respondents’ physical and sociocultural attributes, and the way they gain information about visibility degradation, can affect their perceptions of visibility degradation. The results reveal that improving information channels can positively promote human sensitivity to and understanding of visibility degradation in order to mitigate it. Yet, any attempts to educate the lay public should not assume the existence of a homogenous community of like-minded people.

Title: Between national soft regulations and strong economic incentives: local climate and energy strategies in Sweden
Abstract: 
 This paper contributes to the current discussion on whether ‘soft’ regulation actually influences policy outcomes by examining the effects of national policy instruments on municipal climate and energy planning. Sweden has experienced shifts in the incentive context over the last decades complementing soft planning regulations with stringent conditions for getting national economic support to local energy and climate action. We hypothesize that when soft regulations are surrounded by detailed conditions for getting state support, there will be higher degrees of local institutionalization of climate and energy strategies. The importance of economic support as part of national policy is confirmed by evidence from local energy and climate strategies and from interviews with local decision-makers. We also find that specific municipal features such as earlier municipal engagement in national support programs and relevant inter-municipal networks function as drivers for the institutionalization of local action.

Title: Factors influencing the adoption of geological information in Swedish municipalities
Abstract: 
 A geological map includes a description (e.g., geological composition and structures) as well as an interpretation of materials (e.g., porosity or extraction capacity). Geological maps are pertinent to city planning, infrastructure projects and environmental impact assessments. While the maps are identified in the literature as beneficial to society, few have discussed the adoption of geological maps. By investigating factors influencing information adoption, one can identify barriers for potential users. We consider the literature on diffusion of innovation and discuss the effects of information being a so-called ‘experience good,’ which implies high opportunity costs and sunk costs. The framework is empirically tested on survey data collected from officials in Swedish municipalities. The results suggest that perceived usefulness and educational effort have the largest influence on the adoption decision. Furthermore, the results indicate that organizational effects exist on the working unit level, but there are no spatial interactions across municipal boundaries.

Title: Untapping the potential of technological advancements in Strategic Environmental Assessment
Abstract: 
 Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) requires the simultaneous assessment of multiple considerations to identify and mitigate any significant adverse effects on the environment resulting from plan/programme/policy implementation. In order to do this and support decision-making for sustainable development, it relies on sound and scientifically verifiable data from a variety of sources and on analytical tools to identify patterns and predict changes in the data. The advent of big data and technological advancements are highly relevant to SEA, given their potential to enhance the evidence-base, better assess, anticipate and communicate environmental effects and advance overall SEA practice. This review article explores the opportunities for an increased use of smart technologies and approaches in SEA, and proposes an operational framework for smartening SEA. It concludes by identifying a number of new research areas for exploring untapped opportunities in SEA.

Title: GIS-based suitability analysis using fuzzy PROMETHEE
Abstract: 
 In efficiently supporting planning decisions, decision makers often handle complex and multifaceted decisions. The combined use of geographic information systems (GIS)-based tools and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods has emerged as a sophisticated process that provides significant advantages in overcoming decision-making difficulties. Multicriteria raster-based suitability analyses are dominated by the performance of weighted linear combination approaches. This is principally due to technical limitations that arise since pairwise comparisons among candidate alternatives are needed to perform outranking relations. To overcome these limitations, a combination of GIS and a Fuzzy extension of the PROMETHEE method is proposed to reduce the complexity of the calculations. The efficiency of the proposed decision-making model is discussed through a case study, by comparing the derived alternative location rankings with those obtained by other well-established approaches. The framework provides a flexible way to overcome PROMETHEE computational limitations while the performed results validation analysis reveals that the framework produces coherent results.

Title: Understanding the barriers for Internet-based e-waste collection system in China
Abstract: 
 Internet-based electronic waste (e-waste) collection is an effective way to achieve both profitability for collectors and convenience for consumers. However, its introduction faces significant challenges in China. Few studies have systematically identified and analyzed the barriers to an Internet-based e-waste collection system in China. This study proposes a research framework that considers stakeholder theory to identify the barriers faced by Internet-based e-waste collection systems. A grey-based Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory method is applied for the analysis of the major barriers. The findings show that a lack of tax preference is a key barrier, which should be carefully considered both in the short- and long term. Additionally, low consumer participation intention is the strongest barrier. This study not only contributes to the literature on Internet-based e-waste collection systems but also provides valuable insights for decision-makers toward improving the performance of Internet-based e-waste collection practices.

Title: Nudging pro-environmental behavior: evidence from a web experiment on priming and WTP
Abstract: 
 Investigations on state-dependent and endogenous preferences have gained momentum. There is now abundant empirical literature on whether, and how, external stimuli influence or predict people’s behavior and appraisals. In recent decades, attempts have been made to enlarge this strand of research to determine whether “nudging” may help in managing environmental problems and boosting social preferences. Following this line of investigation, we describe a web experiment to analyze the impact of priming on environmental and ethical attitudes and willingness to pay (WTP) for environmental protection. We found that while priming does make pro-environmental attitudes more salient, its frame affects the probability of WTP a premium for environment-friendly goods and the size of the premium. Unlike other authors, we used a visual priming technique based on a short video cartoon about a smartphone lifecycle.

Title: Extending the theory of planned behavior to predict public participation behavior in air pollution control: Beijing, China
Abstract: 
 Public participation is playing an increasingly important role in the process of environmental protection, especially in some developing countries such as China. However, the studies that have focused on public participation in air pollution control, especially those that have used quantitative research, are comparatively insufficient in China. This paper investigated residents’ participation intention and behavior in air pollution control in Beijing, China, and related the theory of planned behavior and the concepts of risk perception to analyze the formation mechanism of participation behavior. The results indicated a remarkable discrepancy between participation intention and behavior. Subjective norm was the major factor in predicting participation intention, followed by risk perception and attitude. Income was observed to have a negative effect on participation intention and a positive effect on participation behavior.

Title: Ecological challenges for the buffer zone management of a West African National Park
Abstract: 
 In sub-Saharan Africa, the management of buffer zones around protected areas does not often take into serious account the needs of resource exploitation by the local populations or the conservation needs of these areas. We described the ecological characteristics and management issues affecting the buffer zone around the Fazao-Malfakassa National Park; a 192,000-ha protected area in central-western Togo of utmost conservation importance within the Dahomey Gap region. Within the buffer zone (10 km radius, 334,800 ha), we focussed on four high conservation value areas totalling 65,594 ha (20% of the total buffer zone area). Using 2015 sentinel-2 images we analyzed land cover patterns and described existing ecological zones. We complemented these with field surveys and interviews with 300 people living in 22 villages within the buffer zone to describe the conditions affecting the resident human population. Although over 60% of the total buffer zone area is degraded, we identified four areas of high conservation value (total area = 65,594 ha). Interviewees recognized that slash-and-burn was the most common form of land use, followed by agroforestry practices. Agriculture, charcoal, and firewood production were the main drivers affecting habitats, and land conflicts were recurrent due to the rise in human population. The decline in agriculture, reported by interviewees in some sectors, was attributable to ravages of crops by elephants. Three independent diversity indices showed that, in preserved zones, a greater diversity of animals (with similar utilization frequencies) were hunted than in degraded sites (where grasscutters were the dominant hunted species). There were also significant differences between degraded and preserved zones in terms of plants used for charcoal production and for non-timber forest products. We advocate the development of community-controlled hunting areas to enhance the conservation value of the four well-preserved zones. Instead, promoting sustainable agricultural production systems in the degraded areas can help to further stabilize the agricultural front and reduce land pressure on the park.

Title: Challenges of mainstreaming green infrastructure in built environment professions
Abstract: 
 Green infrastructure (GI) has been identified as a promising approach to help cities adapt to climate change through the provision of multiple ecosystem services. However, GI contributions to urban resilience will not be realized until it is more fully mainstreamed in the built environment and design professions. Here, we interrogate five key challenges for the effective implementation of GI: (1) design standards; (2) regulatory pathways; (3) socio-economic considerations; (4) financeability; and (5) innovation. Methods include a literature review, case studies, and interviews with resilience managers. We propose a people-centred and context-dependent approach to advance effective implementation of GI in urban planning. We highlight two underlying currents that run across all of the challenges – (1) the role of political will as a pre-condition for tackling all challenges holistically; and (2) the role of stakeholder engagement in achieving public support, harnessing funding, and maintaining and monitoring GI in the long term.Highlights:• The effective implementation of GI is context-specific and should adhere to the basic principles of appropriate technology.• Continuous community engagement is needed to ensure the inclusivity and multi-functionality of GI.• Challenges to successful GI are intersectional and therefore cannot be addressed singly in isolation.

Title: Evaluating alternative policies to reduce pesticide groundwater pollution in Dutch arable farming
Abstract: 
 This article develops a dynamic optimal control modelof farmers' production decisions and applies it to panel data from Dutch arable farms to assess the effectiveness of different policy interventions in reducing pesticide groundwater pollution. Three different policy measures are examined in turn: namely, a flat tax on pesticides; a groundwater contamination tax; and a quantity restriction on pesticide use. The examined policies are compared against both quantitative and qualitative criteria drawn from the pesticide policy literature. Results show that the groundwater contamination tax is the most preferred policy for reducing pesticide groundwater pollution. A way to apply such a tax is proposed and discussed.

Title: The regional heterogeneity of wind power deployment: an empirical investigation of land-use policies in Germany and Sweden
Abstract: 
 The purpose of this paper is to analyze and compare the impacts of land-use policies on wind power deployment at the regional levels in Germany and Sweden. We use data for the period 2008–2012, and an econometric approach in which the probability of having any wind power capacity additions and the actual level of increased capacity, given that it is positive, are permitted to be determined by different processes. The results confirm the importance of land-use policies, e.g., priority and exclusion areas, and interesting differences across the two countries are found. The impact of priority areas has been more profound in Germany, while the assignment of protected areas instead has constituted a more binding policy tool in Sweden. Cross-country differences in the relevance of various explanatory variables are linked to factors such as geographical patterns, design of wind power support schemes, and the allocation of decision-making power in planning processes.

Title: Institutional quality effects on separate waste collection: some evidence from Italian provinces
Abstract: 
 Separate waste collection in Italy comes under the responsibility of local authorities, provinces, while national laws set quantitative targets to be achieved over time. Overall, just a few provinces have reached the thresholds set by the latest law (Legislative Decree 152/2006) and some territorial differentiation has been detected. The aim of this paper is twofold: to verify the effectiveness of Legislative Decree 152/2006 in promoting higher levels of separate collection and to test whether institutional quality (considering the following indicators: voice and accountability, regulatory quality, rule of law and corruption) affects provinces’ efficiency in the separate collection process. For this purpose, we implement the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). Results suggest that the effectiveness of Legislative Decree 152/2006 has been affected by provinces’ institutional quality. In particular, the presence of institutional constraints did not allow the most virtuous provinces to achieve the targets set by law.

Title: Community reactions to tourism development: how does governmental fairness work?
Abstract: 
 Based on the elements of social exchange and organizational justice theories, a conceptual model and associated hypotheses were formulated to examine the relationship among community residents and their perceptions of governmental fairness (i.e., distributive, procedural, interpersonal, and informational dimensions), social capital (i.e., cognitive and structural dimensions), and support for government and environmental development. Data were collected from 496 residents in four Korean cities: Busan, Gyeongju, Pohang, and Ulsan. Empirical testing resulted in support for multiple hypotheses. More specifically, cognitive social capital was significantly influenced by distributive, interpersonal, and informational fairness. Structural social capital was significantly affected by distributive and informational fairness. Subsequently, two dimensions of social capital positively influenced two types of support. Overall, the results suggest that the interplay of governmental fairness and social capital is important in influencing residents’ support for government and environmental development.

Title: Adapting cities to climate change – exploring the flood risk management role of green infrastructure landscapes
Abstract: 
 There is now an emerging sense of the scope and nature of response that can be implemented at building and neighbourhood scales to help adapt cities and urban areas to the changing climate. In comparison, the role of larger natural and semi-natural landscapes that surround and permeate cities is less well understood. Addressing this knowledge gap, this paper outlines two case studies that describe and map the flood risk management functions offered by green infrastructure landscapes situated within the Urban Mersey Basin in North West England. The case studies establish that areas potentially exposed to flooding can be located at some distance, and within different jurisdictions, from upstream areas where the flood hazard may be generated and could be moderated via functions provided by green infrastructure landscapes. This raises planning and governance challenges connected to supporting and enhancing flood risk management functions provided by green infrastructure landscapes.

Title: Sustainable consumption profile differences among Brazilian regions
Abstract: 
 Brazil is a vast country and there are several scientific studies reporting sustainable behavior in its different regions. Since methodologies used in these studies differ from one another, it is hard to compare them. This paper aims to identify whether differences in sustainable behavior occur in different Brazilian regions and what differences can be identified. Through a web survey, we analyzed data from 1,489 participants, from four different regions. We identified two factors (behavior and search for information), and analyzed the differences through multivariate analysis of variance. The Northeast region had a higher score for “search for information”, while Southern regions performed better on “behavior.” The Midwest region had the worst performance for both factors. The reasons for such differences may be greatly influenced by the social/cultural context of each region. The results also show that consumers still do not use their power of choice to pressure companies to become more sustainable.

Title: Examining strategic sustainability plans and smart-growth land-use measures in California cities
Abstract: 
 Given many potential obstacles, what types of strategic plans and measures for climate protection and/or energy sustainability are more likely than others to be adopted by cities? What are the key internal and external obstacles to adopting and implementing these plans and measures? Based on data obtained from a survey conducted from 2010 to 2011 and other sources, this paper develops a framework derived from political contracting theory and strategic orientation literature to examine how public management obstacles, socio-economic factors, and political factors influence a city's likelihood of having strategic energy sustainability plans and measures in place. Moreover, this paper finds that many California cities remain reluctant to require residents and businesses to comply with more challenging sustainability measures, such as smart-growth land-use practices, and that those cities with a strategic energy sustainability plan already in place tend to be more willing to adopt smart-growth land-use measures.

Title: Picking up speed: public participation and local sustainability plan implementation
Abstract: 
 Although planning scholars often argue that public participation improves implementation outcomes, this relationship is rarely empirically tested. This study investigates how public engagement, during planning and after plan adoption, impacts on the speed of local government sustainability plan implementation. It includes a correlation analysis of quantized in-depth interviews with sustainability planners in 36 American cities. The study finds that individual characteristics of public engagement, both during planning and after plan adoption, had statistically significant relationships to implementation speed, but in some cases this relationship was negative. The correlations imply that sustainability planners can make strategic choices to improve implementation speed through public participation in plan creation and after plan adoption. Alternatively, planners also make choices during participatory planning that slow implementation, a problematic outcome when the ultimate goal of a planning process is on-the-ground change.

Title: The use of regulatory taxation as a policy instrument for sustainability transitions: old wine in new bottles or unexplored potential?
Abstract: 
 The burgeoning literature on sustainable transitions links persistent environmental problems to the functioning of socio-technical systems. Conventional policy instruments, such as environmental taxation, are often rejected by transition scholars but in-depth studies on their potential are scarce. This paper explores the potential of the instrument of environmental taxation for influencing sustainability transitions. The multi-level perspective and the multi-phase perspective from transition thinking and the social practices approach are combined with the environmental economics theories of Pigou and Coase. Our analysis shows that the highest impact of regulatory taxation will be realised at the end of the take-off phase and in the acceleration phase of a transition. Although important barriers exist and many conditions apply, regulatory environmental taxation, especially as part of a smart policy mix, has more potential for contributing to sustainability transitions than hitherto assumed.

Title: Seeking a balance: a procedure-based evaluation of localized approaches for brownfield management in the USA
Abstract: 
 Brownfield programs in the USA now use bottom–up approaches where the principle agent is no longer federal but local government. Although the approaches by federal government to manage national priority sites are well established, clear approaches for local brownfields and to engage nearby communities are difficult to find. This study sought to determine whether the current approaches adopted by local municipalities are effective and identify the challenges experienced to develop guidelines tailored to meet the needs of local projects. The results revealed that the effectiveness of local brownfield programs is often challenged by the existing normative assessment procedure utilized by the federal government. Experts’ interviews provided evidence that legislation set up to eliminate contamination is actually hurting efforts to reuse lightly polluted local sites. The challenges were associated with outreach activities, particularly those involving reluctant property owners and developers. Community residents had only a minimal opportunity to participate in decision-making.

Title: Emerging drivers and business models for equipment reuse and remanufacturing in the US: lessons from the biotech industry
Abstract: 
 While regulations have advanced product take-back in some markets, challenges to increasing product reuse and remanufacturing remain. Most research to date has focused on original equipment manufacturers taking back and remanufacturing their products, which is often problematic. The present study demonstrates that there are emerging opportunities for small companies with innovative business models to enter the market and advance product end-of-life (EoL) management. The paper examines the biotechnology industry – a growing sector with high spending on lab equipment and relatively short lifespans of research and development instruments. Building on previous research and analysis of industry practices and emerging drivers for product reuse and remanufacturing, the authors propose a framework for sustainable EoL management that includes five managerial drivers: financial benefits, space, ease/convenience, information, and sustainability goals. The paper concludes with discussion of the lessons learned and practical implications for managers in charge of purchasing or disposing of surplus equipment.

Title: International experiences with opposition to wind energy siting decisions: lessons for environmental and social appraisal
Abstract: 
 The planning of renewable energy infrastructure has proven highly controversial across many countries. We critically examine the lessons that can be learned from research investigating the causes of controversy over wind turbines. The review focuses on a specific, but often highly controversial, component of planning practice: environmental and social appraisal. The review advances understandings of the reasons for contestation over the social impacts of wind turbines; the basis and legitimacy of plurality and contestation; and, the biases that tend to underpin understandings of the role and functioning of participation in appraisal. A typology of actors' attitudes to wind energy is employed to elucidate the implications of our review for appraisal practices. We conclude that a broader understanding of the societal purposes of public participation needs to be integrated into appraisal theory and practice, including an acceptance of the legitimacy of antagonism and dissent and its value in fostering social learning.

Title: A management perspective to using Public Participation GIS in planning for visitor use in national parks
Abstract: 
 Academics have frequently used and endorsed the Public Participation Geographic Information System (PPGIS) approach for national park management. However, it is only minimally used by public agencies such as national park organisations. This study explores the potential that managers of Finnish national parks see in the PPGIS approach in the context of planning for the visitor use of parks. Ten semi-structured interviews with managers of Parks and Wildlife Finland were conducted. The managers perceived that PPGIS could help in optimising site management, and preferred PPGIS studies that are practical and clearly connected to planning site management actions. They envisioned a mobile phone application that would allow mapping visitor experiences on the spot. Overall, the managers were open to adopting place-based planning practices. The study increases the understanding of public agencies’ views towards PPGIS. It also produces practical information for conducting PPGIS case studies as well as for integrating PPGIS tools into planning processes.

Title: Landscape and heritage: ideas from Europe for culturally based solutions in rural environments
Abstract: 
 The impact of globalised trends changing the rural environment is often thought to require environmental and ecology-focused policies and actions. But many of the problems have human (societal) causes, and solutions need also to be primarily culturally based. This essay, drawing on the ‘CHeriScape’ network in western Europe, explores the advantage of seeking a more comprehensive, integrative response to rural change using the twinned concepts of landscape and heritage. It discusses recent developments in conceptualising landscape and heritage, and how these could support effective culturally based approaches that are participatively democratic and also take account of human behaviour. After brief summaries of evolving paradigms for landscape and heritage, and of global challenges, the paper suggests that a landscape–heritage nexus, familiar to the lay public but capable of nuanced and fluid application, offers an effective way ahead. It concludes by identifying some obstacles that hinder the effective implementation of such an approach.

Title: Characterization of evolution and dissemination of ISO 14001 in countries and economic sectors in Europe
Abstract: 
 This work aimed to analyse the diffusion of ISO 14001 certifications in Europe and among economic sectors and the use of the relative growth rate (RGR) as an alternative to evaluate the diffusion of certificates. It has been observed that the RGR of the diffusion of certification in Europe starts very high (0.41) and has narrowed to close to 0 in recent years. Thus, the shape of the diffusion curve for Europe shows that the region presents mature behaviour, where it has already reached a maximum level of ISO 14001 certificates. Among the countries, Italy obtained an RGR of 0.91 in 2001; for France and Romania, diffusion takes an S-shape. ISO 14001 certifications by economic sector showed that in Italy, only basic metal fabricated metal product sectors presented RGR < 0.15. Therefore, most of the economic sectors are expanding their certifications. Furthermore, RGR is useful in classification of the diffusive state.

Title: Location optimization of municipal solid waste considering health, safety, environmental, and economic factors
Abstract: 
 Selecting appropriate sites for municipal solid waste (MSW) is a challenging problem for urban communities and has economic and environmental implications. This paper proposes a mathematical optimization model to solve the location problem of MSW sites incorporating both push and pull characteristics. Four objective functions comprising health, safety, environmental (HSE), and economic indicators are considered. These objectives are combined into a single objective function using the weighted sum method and the best method is selected based on noise analysis. The parameter uncertainty is incorporated into the model using expert judgments followed by sensitivity analysis to show the effect of the most important parameters. Using the data from a network of 360 population centers in Tehran, the solution for the model is demonstrated. To our knowledge, this is the first study on location optimization of MSW considering combined HSE and economic indicators. The proposed approach is flexible and parsimonious.

Title: Urban dispersion and economic crisis: empirical evidence from a Mediterranean region
Abstract: 
 Economic expansions and recessions have had a relevant influence on urbanization patterns, altering building cycles and depressing local housing markets. In regions with declining employment and wealth, the 2007 economic crisis has resulted in urban containment and inherent transformations in metropolitan structures and socioeconomic functions. This study aims at verifying whether urban growth spatial direction and intensity have changed during the 2007 economic crisis in Athens, the capital of Greece, based on a diachronic analysis (1990–2016) of indicators assessing population dynamics, building characteristics and land-use change. Urban growth rate in the study area was the highest over a period of economic expansion spanning from 1990 to 2006, decreasing largely in the subsequent decade, characterized by economic recession. Conversely, dispersed development as a proportion of total urban growth was the lowest during economic expansion, rising after 2007. With economic expansion, discontinuous urban growth concentrated in peri-urban districts. During recession, the same districts experienced a trend towards settlement re-densification, with new sprawled settlements expanding in marginal areas. Taken together, the empirical results of this study suggest that economic recession has promoted a moderate change in spatial direction and intensity of Athens’ expansion, with distinct patterns of urban densification and dispersion depending on the specific local context. Our findings bring insights on the debate over post-crisis development of Mediterranean cities, suggesting that – without policy interventions – dispersed settlements will remain the dominant urbanization pattern in heterogeneous and fragmented metropolitan regions.

Title: Going to waste? The potential impacts on nature conservation and cultural heritage from resource recovery on former mineral extraction sites in England and Wales
Abstract: 
 Scarcity of mineral supplies globally means that there is an international effort to examine the potential to extract resources from mine waste. Such sites are often perceived as degraded and of little value. However, many sites are protected for their ecological, geological or historical significance. This article examines the scale of the association between these designations and former mineral extraction sites in England and Wales. Around 69,000 mines (44%) are co-located with some form of designation; ranging from 27% of sand and gravel quarries in Wales to 84% of metal mines in England. Some designations are coincidental to mining and may benefit from resource recovery combined with remediation activities, others exist due to previous mining activities and may be adversely affected. This creates a tension in the long-term management of former mineral extraction, which should be considered when assessing the potential for, and desirability of, resource recovery.

Title: What drives household recovery after disasters? A case study of New York City after 2012 Hurricane Sandy
Abstract: 
 Community recovery from disasters depends on how its subunits, such as households, fare. But the current knowledge on this topic is fragmented and undervalues a household’s agency for action, which can result in narrowly designed, and sometimes counterproductive, recovery plans and aid policies. In this article, we examine various internal and contextual characteristics of households to answer the question, what factors influence household recovery the most and how? Using logistical regression analysis on random sample survey data collected from households affected by the 2012 Hurricane Sandy in New York City, NY, we discuss the influence of various socioeconomic factors, knowledge and availability of external aid, and neighborhood condition on a household’s perception of their own recovery. We conclude with three lessons on community participation, recovery financing, and community restoration for recovery managers to ensure disaster recovery plans are comprehensive and build local capacity to recover.

Title: Heritage narratives for landscapes on the rural–urban fringe in the Midwestern United States
Abstract: 
 Landscapes on the rural–urban fringe are experiencing rapid change. Along with agriculture, additional fronts of landscape change are related to suburbanization, conservation, and tourism. Building a framework related to heritage narratives, this study analyzes stories told by stakeholders to make sense of landscape change and influence their perspectives about growth. Drawing on focus groups of community and development leaders at two sites in the Midwestern United States – Jasper County, Iowa and Will County, Illinois – this study explores sense of place and shared values in the context of landscape change. From 76 heritage narratives, five thematic areas were identified: (1) agriculture, (2) tourism, (3) industry, (4) grassland conservation, and (5) housing. Participants expressed needs to find compatibility across multiple narratives and develop coherent visions for future growth. A “planning for place” meta-narrative was explored to integrate diverse perspectives and stimulate dialog about shared values with potential to unite landscapes and communities.

Title: Learning in multi-level governance of adaptation to climate change – a literature review
Abstract: 
 The governance of adaptation to climate change is an emerging multi-level challenge, and learning is a central governance factor in such a new empirical field. We analyze, through a literature review, how learning is addressed in both the general multi-level governance literature and the governance of adaptation to climate change literature. We explore the main congruencies and divergences between these two literature strands and identify promising directions to conceptualize learning in multi-level governance of adaptation. The review summarizes the main approaches to learning in these two strands and outlines conceptualizations of learning, the methods suggested and applied to assess learning, the way learning processes and strategies are understood, and the critical factors identified and described. The review contrasts policy learning approaches frequently used in multi-level governance literature with social learning approaches that are more common in adaptation literature to explore common ground and differences in order to build a conceptual framework and provide directions for further research.

Title: Urban ecosystem conditions and ecosystem services – a comparison between large urban zones and city cores in the EU
Abstract: 
 Almost three out of four EU citizens live in urban areas. Knowledge on the city’s environmental structure and capabilities is needed as urbanization is expected to continue. In this study, eight indicators on urban ecosystems condition (ECIs) were quantified for 305 EU cities (>100.000 inhabitants). A composite indicator (CI), based on the ECIs, indicated differences between northern and southern EU countries, with Umeå having the highest CI value (1.56) and Napoli the lowest (−1.21). Positive effects of urban green infrastructure (GI) were found for NO2 removal, recreation opportunities and lowered urban heat island effect. The proportion of green and built infrastructure differs between city cores and larger urban zones, and the area outside the core hosts a considerable part of the overall GI. This zone is thus of importance for the provisioning of urban ecosystem services, to be considered when planning for urban growth and climate adaptation strategies.

Title: Understanding the dissemination and adoption of innovations through social network analysis: geospatial solutions for disaster management in Nepal and Kenya
Abstract: 
 Vulnerable areas of the world, including many developing countries, are increasingly exposed to natural disasters. New technologies, such as geospatial technologies, could help them manage the risks of extreme events and cope with disaster aftershock. However, new technologies are often disseminated slowly among the relevant stakeholders. Assuming that knowledge exchange through stakeholder networks can effectively enhance the uptake of innovation, this research applied a social network approach focussing on the structural patterns of communication and collaboration networks regarding landslide-related disasters in Nepal and floods in Kenya. Using methods of formal social network analysis, we reveal centrally positioned stakeholders and discuss their actual and potential roles in outscaling innovations between the different sectors and upscaling them to different levels within the disaster management communities under study. In doing so, this case study demonstrates the potential of social network analysis for improving the dissemination of innovations for disaster risk management.

Title: Public participation and appeal rights in decision-making on wind energy infrastructure: a comparative analysis of the Danish and English legal framework
Abstract: 
 This article is concerned with public participation and its linkages with appeal rights in planning decisions for major onshore wind farms in England and Denmark. We are particularly interested in how the legal framework shapes the scope of participation and appeals and, more specifically, whether a third party right to appeal (TPRA) has a participatory potential beyond the initial decision-making process. Despite structural differences, our analysis shows that in both countries the legal frameworks limit the participatory potential of administrative appeals, either through a restricted third party access to appeal mechanisms or through a restricted scope of review in appeals. Even where access is unrestricted, TPRA can hardly constitute an extension of participation, unless the scope for review is equally extended. Thus, reliance on TPRA as a participatory tool would require changes to the legal framework in both jurisdictions.

Title: Choice experiment assessment of anglers’ salmonid conservation preferences
Abstract: 
 Wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout are in danger in several fisheries of the northern hemisphere due to anthropic activities. The pressures on fish stocks include excessive commercial and recreational harvests, as well as habitat depletion. In this paper, we present a choice experiment assessment of recreational anglers’ preferences for conservation options, aiming to reduce harvest and improve ecosystem quality of salmon fisheries using Ireland as a case study. Data were collected by online survey and analysed with a latent class logit model. Results indicate two groups of anglers with diverging opinions and preferences on salmon conservation priorities, which will likely be reflected in different levels of acceptance of conservation initiatives.

Title: Highly valued agricultural landscapes and their ecosystem services in the urban-rural fringe – an integrated approach
Abstract: 
 Undermined by the increasing urban sprawl as well as intensification of agricultural production, the urban–rural fringe agricultural landscapes face challenges of ensuring viable food production, reducing environmental degradation and biodiversity loss, as well as sustaining rural development. Policies and strategies such as the Common Agricultural Policy, the European Landscape Convention and Biodiversity Strategy address these problems in their objectives, but they are based on different concepts regarding landscape functions and ecosystem services. To provide planners with a comprehensive landscape valuation framework, we refer to the policy objectives by assessing three rural landscape functions: environmental balance, food production and providing vital space to live, and tourist businesses with the use of landscape indicators and ecosystem services. We introduce the criteria of vulnerability to landscape changes, legal environmental protection, cultural heritage, scenic variety, and clarity to assess landscape values and water purification and retention, food production and recreational potential to assess ecosystem services. The results encourage the combination of the two approaches, since in a well-structured framework they complement each other in terms of covering different aspects of landscape value. An integrated approach to landscape assessment enables the picturing of more diverse values, and can better inform landscape and spatial planners. The novelty of this research is the use of landscape units as the basis for the application of ecosystem service and landscape valuation integrated assessment at the level that matches the scale of land use policy on the municipality level.

Title: Climate change adaptation in the planning of England’s coastal urban areas: priorities, barriers and future prospects
Abstract: 
 Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing society and the spatial planning system plays a crucial role in ensuring that important adaptations to the built environment are evaluated. Drawing upon a mixed-methods research approach, this paper explores the progress that has been made by the planning system in England in addressing the challenge of climate change adaptation in coastal urban areas. The results indicate that the adaptation produced through the planning system remains incremental rather than transformative. It is focused on experienced hazards, especially flooding, and there is a lack of attention being paid to wider impacts of climate change, such as rising average temperatures. Furthermore, it was found that the contemporary contribution of planning to climate change adaptation is seriously limited by the government’s emphasis on housing and economic growth and by the development industry’s emphasis on economic viability.

Title: A multiscale analysis of land use dynamics in the buffer zone of Rio Doce State Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Abstract: 
 This article uses a multiscale approach for assessing landscape changes in one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots in Brazil, the Rio Doce State Park (PERD). In this article, we assess land use changes over a 30 year period. Our results show that, while inside the park landscape changes were minimal, in the park buffer zone human induced changes are steadily rising due to an increase in eucalyptus plantations and urban sprawl that grew by 4% and 1.9%, respectively. Agricultural land has been reduced by 6.35%, but there are trends that a form of welcome forest transition has been occurring. We report an increase in native forests from 40,588 ha in 1985 to 45,690 ha in 2015. The analysis of human impacts in the study area delivers very different results when varying the pixel size from 25 ha to 900 m2. The former shows a very high level of human influence while the latter reveals small but vital patches of native forest offering hopeful opportunities for sustainable natural resource management in this critical biome. Our work stresses the importance of better targeted policy making and sympathetic land use management of buffer zones of protected areas. Currently, such zones suffer from many development pressures and often experience contradictory policy frameworks which encourage a clash between biodiversity conservation and intensive agro husbandry production.Highlights:• We characterize land use transitions in a hotspot of biodiversity in Brazil.• Analysis at finer resolution show that there is still hope for forest recovery.• For instilling sustainable forest transitions there is the need for fresh governance.

Title: Towards the implementation of green stormwater infrastructure: perspectives from municipal managers in the Pacific Northwest
Abstract: 
 To mitigate the harmful effects of stormwater runoff, many cities in the United States are constructing green stormwater infrastructure (GSI), yet the varied perceptions of GSI by local municipal managers can make or break the implementation of GSI in any given city. We conducted a series of focus groups with municipal managers from two adjacent regions in the Pacific Northwest (US) – Portland, Oregon and Clark County, Washington – where many of the earliest and most extensive applications of urban GSI have occurred. We aimed to understand the extent to which municipal managers fundamentally differ in their considerations of GSI, even within one metropolitan region. Results indicate that Portland respondents were optimistic about GSI implementation emphasizing stakeholder buy-in and regulatory systems. Alternatively, in Clark County, an unfunded state mandate, public concern, and uncertainties about facility performance culminated in a cautionary approach to GSI. The variation in findings has many implications for implementing GSI.

Title: Regulating earthquake risk: preferences for trade-offs between economic benefits and regulation of produced wastewater injection from hydraulic fracturing
Abstract: 
 The marked increase in earthquakes in Oklahoma since 2009 is widely associated with underground wastewater injection by oil and gas companies. Using the mixed logit model, we determine willingness to accept potential job and tax revenue losses in return for fewer earthquakes and reduced risk of damaging earthquakes in Oklahoma. Results suggest people favor a lower risk of a damaging earthquake, reduction in earthquakes, fewer jobs lost, and reduced tax revenue losses from oil and gas companies. Republicans (Democrats) are less (more) willing to forgo jobs and tax revenue as a result of regulated wastewater injection, which highlights evidence of heterogeneous preferences for regulation.

Title: The role of water quality for local environmental policy implementation
Abstract: 
 The objective of this study is to examine the role of surface water quality for the decisions by Swedish municipalities to adopt environmental targets and action plans, as well as allocating these decisions to a responsible authority. To this end, we assess how environmental, socioeconomic, and political factors, as well as the availability of environmental expertise, affect these municipal decisions. Questionnaire data from the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions, in combination with environmental monitoring data and official statistics, are used for the econometric analysis. Results show that: (i) municipalities with bad water quality, greater coastal length, and higher income are more inclined to adopt local policies; (ii) collaboration with interest groups increases the likelihood of adopting local policies; and (iii) municipalities with high Center Party representation tend to set responsibility for environmental policy with the municipal council board.

Title: Regulations fail to constrain dog space use in threatened species beach habitats
Abstract: 
 The management of domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) in natural areas is controversial and more effective policy and management is required. We examine the occurrence and space use by dogs on southern Australian sandy beaches in different dog-leashing zones. We observed the people and dogs, and compliance with regulations. GPS loggers determined the space use by dogs (n = 161). Existing dog-leashing zones had no influence on the space use by dogs, and this related to poor compliance with dog-leashing rules (69.7% of 188 dogs observed at “on-leash” beaches were “off-leash”). Dogs moved up to 33 km, at maximum speeds of up to 19 km h−1, during beach visits. Larger dogs occupied slightly more space. Overall, off-leash dogs were frequent regardless of prevailing dog-leashing regulations and these did not constrain the space use by dogs. Current regulations appear ineffective, and alternatives such as “no-dog” zones to replace “leash-only” zones warrant investigation.

Title: The difficulty of steering settlement development to reduce the loss of ecosystem services: an exploration of different development scenarios in Switzerland using spatially explicit land-use models
Abstract: 
 To reduce the negative environmental impact of settlement development, a range of policy instruments are available. Empirical studies have highlighted advantages and disadvantages of different instruments, including tradable development rights (TDRs) and zoning. We add to this knowledge by developing a land-use modelling framework that can be used to assess the potential impact of different policy scenarios on the spatial pattern of settlement development and the potential loss of ecosystem services. We compare the impact of four scenarios that are inspired by different policy instruments. Our results show that limiting the urban growth in certain municipalities or regions has a high impact on ecosystem services. Thus, the definition of sending and receiving areas as employed in TDR programs could be very useful. However, possible trade-offs will have to be taken into consideration, in particular between the protection of fertile agricultural soils and the protection of valuable nature areas.

Title: Pathways of learning about biodiversity and sustainability in private urban gardens
Abstract: 
 Nature-based solutions directed at improving biodiversity, on both public and private land, can provide multiple benefits, but many of these benefits are not being fully realised. One reason is the normative and cognitive disconnect between people and nature, highlighting the need for new learning programs to foster better nature connections. More is known about learning in the context of community gardens than in relation to private gardens. Using semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, this study explores learning among residents engaged in home gardening for biodiversity in Winnipeg, Canada. We uncovered diverse and interconnected learning processes/activities founded on formative childhood experiences. The processes/activities were non-formal and informal, and included individual, social and blended experiences. Learning outcomes were also mutually influencing and multi-levelled, comprising normative, cognitive/behavioural and relational changes. The results support an analytical framework suggesting how learning-focused initiatives can enhance biodiversity on private property and aid in delivery of nature-based solutions.

Title: The governance of climate change adaptation: stormwater management policy and practice
Abstract: 
 Urban flooding is a significant climate change risk for cities. Stormwater management (SWM) has emerged as a key policy response to reduce urban vulnerability to flood risk, and it offers an ideal case study for analyzing the governance of climate change adaptation. This article focuses on SWM policy in the Province of Ontario, Canada, with the broader objective of assessing the nature and dynamics of adaptation governance arrangements. The evolution of SWM policy is examined longitudinally to understand how the interaction of policy ideas, actors and institutions have mobilized adaptation principles. The results reveal that, despite consensus on key ideas among policy actors, the institutionalization of adaptation principles into SWM policy lags behind. This finding raises questions about the capacity of regional governments to strengthen local adaptation and underpins the need for further research on the interaction between evolving adaptation priorities and established policy regimes.

Title: An overview of Canada’s National Pollutant Release Inventory program as a pollution control policy tool
Abstract: 
 Formed under ‘right-to-know’ legislation and public disclosure principles, Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTRs) are a key policy tool for pollution control. PRTRs affect both social and environmental policy outcomes by making facility pollutant release quantities available to stakeholders. While PRTRs operate under similar principles, they are designed to reflect national priorities. This study investigates and critically discusses the stated policy goals of Canada’s National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) to other PRTRs. Notably, there are issues involving data completeness and accuracy, creating gaps in inventory emissions, thereby not reflecting actual emissions. While relative pollutant release levels have decreased, overall toxicity has increased. Coupled with the omission of toxicity factors and pollutant thresholds from the NPRI, this creates a false sense of progress for stakeholders. Making pollutant release data more comprehensive would improve stakeholder engagement and better inform the decision-making process which can be applied to policies across geopolitical scales.

Title: Landscape strategy making as a pathway to policy integration and involvement of stakeholders: examples from a Danish action research programme
Abstract: 
 This paper addresses the complexity of change processes and related management challenges of rural landscapes. With a reference to the European Landscape Convention, a need for integrated and collaborative approaches to landscape governance is discussed. A landscape strategy-making approach with the potential to meet such demands is introduced. Two examples where the approach has been applied are analysed in respect of processes and immediate outcomes, including goals, spatial plans and strategic projects. With reference to the cases, the applied model is discussed within a wider landscape governance perspective. It is concluded that the model represents a way forward towards a more inclusive, integrating and pro-active landscape governance. Landscape strategy making is suitable for bringing different types of landscape-related challenges and perspectives together with different forms of collaboration and social capacity building to guide rural landscape developments. However, the approach cannot replace traditional land use regulations.

Title: Using word clouds to present farmers’ perceptions of advisory services on pollution mitigation measures
Abstract: 
 Advice delivery is one mechanism that can be used to encourage the uptake of water pollution mitigation measures amongst the farming community, but determining who is best placed to effectively provide advice and increase adoption creates a challenge for policy-makers. Through in-depth interviews, this research investigates the perspectives of both farmers and farm advisers on the delivery of water pollution mitigation advice in three agriculturally contrasting areas of England. A novel approach using word clouds as a visual comparative tool for qualitative data is presented to demonstrate a transferable method for disseminating research findings to a wider audience outside of academia. Results from the interviews indicate differences across the regions, and that contrasts exist between farmers and advisers' perceptions. This suggests it is important to assess both perspectives when designing effective advice delivery mechanisms and for policy-makers to consider who is most appropriate to effectively deliver farm advice.

Title: Flood resilience: a systematic review
Abstract: 
 Hydro-hazards are increasing in frequency due to climate change which has inspired a cultural change in Flood Risk Management (FRM). Uncertainty associated with climate change has resulted in a shift towards flood resilience as it helps deal with unexpected climatic perturbations that impact extreme flows. The concept of resilience has increased in popularity, leading to a multitude of definitions, measurements and applications. This paper systematically reviews the FRM literature to provide clarity on the differing perspectives of resilience and how they influence successful implementation of the concept. Our analysis assesses where FRM is positioned within three pre-defined interdisciplinary understandings of resilience. The polysemic nature of resilience has produced a multitude of different perspectives that prevent successful operationalisation. Resilience is interdisciplinary; therefore it requires integration between top-down and bottom-up FRM approaches, as well as a more holistic approach to the interdependence between temporal and spatial scales.

Title: Successes and shortcomings of climate change communication: insights from a longitudinal analysis of Swedish Forest owners
Abstract: 
 Communication is a popular method to raise awareness and promote action against the impacts of climate change. However, there is little scientific evidence that climate change communication can influence individual engagement with adaptation. This study combines qualitative and quantitative data to assess long-term cognitive and behavioral changes among Swedish forest owners who took part in climate change communication. Overall, the results suggest that climate change communication has only limited direct effect on individual engagement with adaptation. While the data show that climate change communication can have strengthened forest owners’ perceived knowledgeability and belief in climate change, they had also become less concerned about climate change risks and did not change how they managed their forest. The study concludes that researchers and practitioners should learn how to better tailor climate change communication to the personal experiences and decision-making needs of their target audience and involve trusted peers and information channels.

Title: Do species-poor forests fool conservation policies? Assessing the role of forests, biodiversity and income in global conservation efforts
Abstract: 
 This paper exploits World Development Indicators and IUCN Red-List data to empirically assess the socio-economic and environmental drivers of conservation efforts. In addition to spatial spillovers, our results first indicate that forest cover, income level along with good political institutions positively drive protected area (PA), while human population growth conflicts with nature conservation efforts. Second, indicators of biodiversity (species richness and extinction risk) are found to be non-significant predictors of PA share, suggesting that species-rich countries are not predominantly the ones sheltering the largest PA share. Although species-poor forests matter as well, in addition to ecosystem-centered approaches, our results encourage conservation practitioners to further account for species richness and extinction risks in global conservation policies.

Title: Applying the principles of adaptive governance to bushfire management: a case study from the South West of Australia
Abstract: 
 Bushfires are a global climate change challenge and a critical disaster issue for Australia. Adaptive governance has emerged as a model to address socio-ecological issues such as disasters. This paper discusses four principles of adaptive governance: polycentric institutions, collaboration, social learning, and reflexivity and examines how these are reflected in the policy and practice of bushfire management in the South West of Australia. Findings demonstrate that current disaster policy discourse, which influences bushfire management, increasingly advocates for principles associated with adaptive governance. However, a case study on the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River found that the extent to which these principles translate into bushfire management practice is largely influenced by interpretive worldview policy frames. The paper suggests that governance for bushfire management could become more adaptive in its approach by incorporating more collaborative management activities, deliberative policy processes and reflexive practice.

Title: ISO 14001 certification in developing countries: motivations from trade and environment
Abstract: 
 This article aims to investigate the influences of trade and environmental issues on ISO 14001 certification in developing countries, focusing on how ISO 14001 certification is affected at macrolevel. Based on the panel data from 65 developing countries over the period 1999–2016, this study confirms the existence of long-run cointegrating relationships between ISO 14001 adoption, trade openness, and environmental pressures by using panel estimation techniques. The results from fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) reveal the positive impacts of trade openness and environmental pressures on ISO 14001 adoption. The results from causality analysis show no causal relationship between ISO 14001, trade openness, and environmental pressures in whole panel; instead the relationship varies for different regions of developing countries.

Title: Climate risk in a globalized world: empirical findings from supply chains in the Swedish manufacturing sector
Abstract: 
 A consequence of the interconnectedness of global supply chains is that disturbances in one location can propagate between continents. This means that for companies to manage climate risks, it is important not just to assess risks in operation locations, but also throughout supply chains. In this paper, we analyse how 14 Swedish large export-oriented businesses view and address risks from physical climate impacts on their international supply chains. We find that climate change is not considered a priority risk and there is little evidence of risk management strategies implemented at the operational level. Businesses fail to see a clear causality between climate change as a global phenomenon and operational risks in the supply chain. Furthermore, the complicated structures of many supply chains make comprehensive risk assessment and management very resource-demanding. We conclude that there is a need for novel strategies to improve businesses’ capabilities to assess emerging risks from climate change.

Title: Detection of spatial-temporal variations in forest canopy surface temperature in response to urbanization: a case study from Longyan, China
Abstract: 
 Urban forests are fundamental components of localized surface energy budgets. Understanding the factors controlling urban forest surface temperatures (UFSTs) should be helpful in mitigating the negative effects of urbanization on urban energy budgets. This study aimed to identify the factors controlling the spatial-temporal pattern of UFSTs by utilizing a variety of data layers and spatial statistical analysis methods. Our results showed that UFST values become more spatially heterogeneous as urbanization progresses. Elevation and degree of slope were the main factors explaining the increase in spatial heterogeneity. Human activities were also significantly related to variations in UFST. Interactions between human activities and almost all environmental factors were related to higher UFST values. Therefore, human activity directly impacts on the spatial heterogeneity of UFST and indirectly affects variations in landscape patterns. Human activities compatible with ecologically sustainable development should be considered for mitigating the deterioration of urban thermal environments.

Title: Disadoption of conservation practices: cases of injecting manure and soil testing
Abstract: 
 Promoting the continuous use of conservation practices by farmers is an important environmental policy issue to minimize the impact of agriculture on environmental quality. The effectiveness of environmental policies relies on farmers’ continuous use of conservation practices. Using duration analysis, this study analyzes the disadoption of injecting manure into soil and soil testing. The results show that over time farmers can become more likely to disadopt conservation practices due to changing economic conditions and learning-by-doing. Therefore, programs and policies that focus on one-time adoption can be limited in promoting the continuous use of conservation practices.

Title: Government regulation, business leaders’ motivations and environmental performance of SMEs
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates whether government regulation crowds out intrinsic motivation to improve environmental performance of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Motivation crowding is the phenomenon by which external pressures reduce intrinsic motivation. Literature on motivation crowding effects of environmental regulations exhibits two gaps. First, previous studies have focused on households while neglecting business organizations, even though businesses account for a major part of industrial pollution worldwide. Second, previous literature neither measured intrinsic motivation nor tested how government regulation affects this motivation. Empirical evidence of motivation crowding by environmental regulations is therefore still lacking. This paper fills both research gaps. Using a dataset of 2,373 SMEs from 12 European countries, we show that government regulation enhances environmental performance directly but harms it indirectly by crowding out intrinsic and extrinsic motivations of business leaders. It only stimulates environmental performance for companies exhibiting low motivation.

Title: Disconnected dots?: A systematic review of governance challenges for natural resource management
Abstract: 
 Concerns for the ongoing and increasing degradation of the natural environment worldwide have increased the impetus for action, and development of governance arrangements to support natural resource management. Despite this, several issues around governance still remain as challenges to the success of natural resource management. This study reports the findings of a systematic literature review of 240 papers to better understand how governance challenges manifest spatially, and how they change over time. Also the paper identifies key priority areas for strategic governance reform. This paper reveals that the capacity of natural resource management governance systems internationally is most limited by factors that limit connectivity and collaboration between stakeholders in decision-making processes, and the alignment of vision and objectives across institutions. The paper also reveals clear spatial disparities and temporal changes in the number of studies and governance challenges identified in natural resource management in developing and developed countries.

Title: Exploring stakeholders’ perceptions of the quality and governance of water resources in the Wenchi municipality
Abstract: 
 Despite increasing evidence that understanding and integrating local people’s perceptions of water quality and governance helps improve water governance processes, only a limited volume of research addresses this topic in developing countries. Therefore, using in-depth interviews and content analysis, the goal of this paper is to explore stakeholders’ perceptions of the quality and governance of water resources in Wenchi, Ghana. Results show that stakeholders perceive river water quality to be deteriorating. Stakeholders’ judgement of river quality is influenced by water use value, pollution sources, organoleptic properties and sanitary conditions of the riverbank. Stakeholders highlighted key areas that require authorities’ efforts: formulation and enforcement of by-laws, awareness raising, provision of financial, logistic and technical support, conducting research and community mobilisation. These findings need to be carefully reviewed and systematically integrated into expert views to advance our understanding of the problem, how best to address it and who to target during interventions.

Title: Governing a complex socio-ecological system: the case of the ‘Golden Corridor Program’ in Taiwan
Abstract: 
 This study proposes a framework of multilevel governing networks to analyse issues of multiple-use common-pool resource management in a complex socio-ecological system. By exploring the case study of the Golden Corridor Program in Yunlin, Taiwan, we found that self-governance at the community level is a partial way to govern multiple-use common-pool resources. Farmland here is facing the impact of land subsidence, and the high-speed rail construction has overweighted the surface. Although the Golden Corridor Program attempts to mitigate this effect of land subsidence on rail traffic safety through rewards for water-saving farming activities for farmers, the implementation lacks the intensive vertical integration and horizontal connections required to promote the collaborative platform among stakeholders. Local farmers still care about agricultural revenue. Thus, the loose self-governing capacity cannot generate institutional collective actions to improve the agri-environment here. The premature multilevel governing network has caused the governance failure to regulate this multiple-use common-pool resource.

Title: Transforming incinerators into community amenities? The Seoul experience
Abstract: 
 This article explores the possibility that pairing desirable community amenities with polluting, industrial, or otherwise unwanted sites, such as waste incinerators, may have the potential to mitigate, or even compensate for, some of their negative local impacts. The environmental justice literature shows that polluting sites tend to disproportionately affect low income and disenfranchised communities. Could this be reversed or mitigated by linking positive amenities to polluting sites? The South Korean experiment of building community amenities (recreation centers, pools, gyms, etc.) at waste incinerators may provide answers to this intriguing question. Using the Difference-in-Differences design we found that while incinerators without amenities have substantial negative impacts on local land and real estate markets, we did not observe any such impact in areas with incinerators that have amenity features. Thus, the amenity features of the incinerators (along with enhanced regulatory emissions standards) are mitigating the negative economic impacts of incinerators.

Title: Best practices for implementing federal environmental policies: a principal-agent perspective
Abstract: 
 In the US, federal environmental policies tend to be implemented by subnational agencies through intergovernmental management systems, which results in state governments serving as agents of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Therefore, principal-agent dynamics create a key challenge for implementing federal environmental policies, as goal incongruence and information asymmetries lead to conflict. As such, we argue some best practices are those that mitigate principal-agent problems by reducing information asymmetries, or aligning actions with the expectations of both principals and agents. Drawing data from the EPA’s evaluations of state programs, the authors identify and examine 68 best practices. Findings suggest that viewing implementation of federal environmental policies as an exercise in managing principal-agent dynamics can help reduce conflicts between organizations working together to address complex environmental problems.

Title: Direct potable water reuse in five arid inland communities: an analysis of factors influencing public acceptance
Abstract: 
 Direct potable reuse (DPR) can improve reliability of water supplies by generating drinking water from wastewater, but communities have consistently opposed DPR more than other forms of reuse. Using interview data regarding DPR projects in five inland communities, this study fills gaps in the literature with an analysis of factors influencing acceptance of DPR. While scholars have recommended public processes used to implement non-potable and indirect potable reuse projects, there is little-to-no documentation about whether and how they have been used to implement DPR projects. Further, previous research has focused on large coastal cities. Counter to previous recommendations, we found minimal public deliberation of reuse options and public education/outreach occurring post-project conception. Findings suggest that direct experience with water scarcity, community smallness, and governance strongly influence DPR acceptance. With few DPR facilities worldwide, this new knowledge is useful to water planners who are interested in the feasibility of DPR in inland areas.

Title: Insights from engaging stakeholders on developing pest management strategies on an inhabited island
Abstract: 
 Excluding communities from pest management planning has resulted in several deliberate attempts to oppose the implementation of strategies, especially on inhabited islands. However, community members have the potential to generate the momentum needed to achieve conservation goals, when included in the planning process. We combined qualitative and quantitative data to engage 17 conservation actors and 380 island residents in focus group sessions and survey. Thematic data analysis explored local discourse around pest management on the island. The major themes identified were values, aspiration, setbacks and challenges and resolution. We developed hypotheses and tested them statistically using factor analysis and ANOVA. Results suggested that conservation actors supported collaboration with external agencies but preferred a locally driven project. Landownership might determine engagement in pest management. Participants’ belief, resolution and objection to pest management were different across age groups. Engaging stakeholders provided further direction to explore the potential for a Predator Free Waiheke.

Title: Monetary valuation of urban nature’s health effects: a systematic review
Abstract: 
 Allocation of public budgets requires deliberate analyses of the costs and benefits of alternative budget usages, which must be made using the same metric. The use of monetary term is the standard metric in government budgeting and is ideal for cost-benefit analysis. This paper systematically searched and reviewed literature on monetary valuation of urban nature’s health effects. Although extensive research has demonstrated urban nature’s positive health effects for humans, the review only found ten items in the literature, including four peer-reviewed journal articles, one book chapter, and five reports. Large monetary values were found. These estimates are useful as an argument for urban planners promoting investment in urban green infrastructure. The small number of studies calls for more research. Specifically, more research is required to investigate the monetary values of urban nature’s other health effects, including the impact on depression and obesity. Case studies covering larger geographical areas are needed to account for heterogeneities across countries.

Title: Conservation in the context of wildflower harvesting: the development and implementation of a Vulnerability Index on the Agulhas Plain of South Africa
Abstract: 
 This paper focuses upon the role that science-based interventions allied to effective regulatory regimes can play in reducing the threat posed by inappropriate harvesting of wild flora. A Vulnerability Index (VI) has been developed for 150 natural fynbos species that exist on South Africa’s Agulhas Plain, where intensive wildflower harvesting occurs. The methodology underpinning the generation of the VI is outlined and justified in this paper. The VI comprises a range of characteristics relating to species distribution and biology that are likely to influence vulnerability to harvesting. The VI is proving to be an important tool for regulating the harvesting of wild fynbos and maintaining the resilience of natural ecosystems threatened by climate change. Furthermore, economic development and livelihood stability are promoted by protecting the resource base of marketable species. The paper discusses issues that have arisen relating to the application and rollout of the VI in practice.

Title: Personality traits and village cadre adoption of rural environmental protection measures: a case study from China
Abstract: 
 Strengthening rural environmental protection measures is a requirement for improving agricultural production conditions, protecting rural living environments and ensuring public health in rural areas. Village cadres (leaders of the village) play a key role as decision makers. To provide insight into the effect of village cadre personality traits (Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism) on the adoption of rural environmental protection measures, we use data from a questionnaire survey of village cadres in Liaoning Province in China in 2017. According to our results, 88.9% of villages adopt environmental protection measures. Specifically, we find that village cadres with a higher level of agreeableness and neuroticism are more likely to adopt environmental protection measures. Our findings suggest that considering personality traits in the selection criteria for village cadres will be beneficial for the execution of village projects.

Title: Assessing the role of subjective judgment and science in environmental impact assessment: implications and options for reform
Abstract: 
 Most environmental assessment (EA) processes are based on a rational technocratic paradigm, in which experts are expected to review value-neutral scientific evidence and objectively assess project impacts. Critics argue that this model is flawed even with increased public participation because it does not recognize the significant role of subjectivity in EA and assumes that expert analysis and judgement can be objective and value free. This paper re-evaluates the assumptions of the rational technocratic model by examining new evidence from a case study in which scientific experts in two separate, but concurrent, EA reviews of the same project came to opposite conclusions even though they relied on the same terms of reference and similar information and evaluation criteria. The case study analysis provides new evidence showing that subjective judgments of expert assessors are an important determinant of the EA findings and that there is inconsistency in the exercise of subjective judgement by experts that can result in fundamentally different conclusions, even if the experts are assessing the same project and similar evidence. The nature of the subjective judgements is assessed in detail and implications of the findings for EA are discussed.

Title: Biocultural learning – beyond ecological knowledge transfer
Abstract: 
 Education sciences research has showed that learning is a complex interaction between individuals and their surrounding world. The simplification of learning complexity has been commonly assumed in local and traditional ecological knowledge (LEK/TEK) research. Based on a modern learning theory, this article describes learning complexity behind the LEK/TEK held by fishers and farmers in Sweden. It leads to the introduction of the concept of biocultural learning that contributes to this field by giving details to this complexity. From a biographic approach, this research combines case studies, in-depth biographical narrative interviews, participant observations and the analysis of personal blogs and family pictures as data collection methods. This combination reveals the interconnection between professional knowledge about nature, identity construction and emotional bonds to nature. This article highlights the value of giving professional status to LEK/TEK and discusses the need to promote and strengthen biocultural learning in different society sectors.

Title: Early warning simulation of urban ecological security in the Yangtze River Economic Belt: a case study of Chongqing, Wuhan, and Shanghai
Abstract: 
 Ecological security early warning (ESEW) research can solve the dilemma of ‘treatment after pollution’ and reduce the cost of ecological governance. However, most studies have focused on evaluating ecological security (ES) in the current rather than predicting its development trend. This paper explores the methodology of ESEW and constructs a set of urban ESEW systems. Firstly, an index system of urban ESEW is established based on the PSR model. Secondly, the system dynamics method is introduced, and the integrated index method is combined to construct an ESEW model. Three typical Chinese cities (Chongqing, Wuhan and Shanghai) in the Yangtze River Economic Belt are taken as samples for empirical research. The results show that the ES situation in Shanghai is the best, and the error rate is within 10%, indicating that the proposed system has a high prediction accuracy. It can be used across the world not only to evaluate the current ES situation, but also to predict its future trend.

Title: Impacts of changing urban form on ecological efficiency in China: a comparison between urban agglomerations and administrative areas
Abstract: 
 This paper explored the impacts of the changing urban form on the ecological efficiency of administrative areas and urban agglomerations in China under different regional scales using the slack-based measure of efficiency model. It also measured the morphological characteristics of cities across several regions using the Largest Patch Index (LPI), Patch Density (PD), and Fractal Dimension (FD). Using the threshold regression model, the impact mechanism of urban form on ecological efficiency was examined. Results show that the ecological efficiency of the regions show an “N” type change over time. LPI and PD show a significant impact in promoting ecological efficiency while FD inhibits ecological efficiency but is not significant until the regional scale reaches 1,352 km2. We conclude that the development of urban agglomeration is more conducive to improving regional ecological efficiency, which will give policymakers some inspiration in developing a regional development strategy.

Title: Multi-criteria analysis process for creation and evaluation of PES alternatives in the Ruka-Kuusamo tourism area
Abstract: 
 Adoption of a new land-use governance system requires acceptance from involved actors. We present a payments for ecosystem services (PES) design process with multi-criteria analysis (MCA) based evaluation of alternatives within a nature-based tourism area in northern Finland. The tourism activities are located on private lands, which are mainly managed for timber production, negatively affecting landscape and recreational values. Earlier attempts have not catalysed the required action among local actors. To increase the practical operability of the suggested PES an MCA process was organised with stakeholders. Alternative PES systems, meeting the demands of local conditions also in the future, were evaluated against good governance criteria in future scenarios. Then, SWOT analysis was carried out for the preferred alternative to reveal supporting and hindering factors for the uptake of the suggested system. The alternative that is obligatory for visitors to the area was preferred among stakeholders representing foresters and tourism entrepreneurs due to its cost-efficiency and funding base. Its implementation would still require a practically adoptable definition of the PES scheme and new co-management arrangements among the actors operating in the area.

Title: Designing the subtropical city: an evaluation of climate-sensitive policy effects in Brisbane, Australia
Abstract: 
 Faced with global warming, Australia aims to wean itself from mechanical approaches to cooling homes. Cities are searching for passive solutions to residential development. These involve the use of porches, basements, natural ventilation, tree shading and the like. In 2016, the Brisbane City Council introduced the New World City Design Guide: Buildings that Breathe (BtB), a non-binding policy document to guide new development in a subtropical climate. The aim of this study was to establish the effectiveness of BtB on overall development outcomes in Brisbane. We found that development applications received after the implementation of the BtB policy incorporated more subtropical design elements than those applications received before the policy. However, overall designers and developers had responded poorly to subtropical design guidance due to various path dependencies. We conclude that discretionary and flexible planning may not be in the public interest in the present era of climate emergency.

Title: River rehabilitation: preference factors and public participation implications
Abstract: 
 Human activities have caused the degradation of rivers and streams, and consequently, the disruption of the provision of valuable services. Therefore, the rehabilitation of these ecosystems can provide many benefits that will contribute to the well-being of society. However, these projects often meet with controversial public responses because of conflicting interests and expectations. Through a literature review, this paper identifies and describes the main public preference factors for river rehabilitation. Understanding the multiple factors that inform the public’s preference for rehabilitation actions might assist decision-makers in anticipating conflicts and outline rehabilitation management strategies that can improve the acceptability of river rehabilitation, thus helping to ensure the sustainability of these projects. These factors are categorised as: socio-cultural, perceptual, and physical. Using these findings, we develop a conceptual framework for understanding how these preference factors and the knowledge about them can be used to increase the acceptance of river rehabilitation.

Title: A decision support framework for sustainable highway alignment embracing variant preferences of stakeholders: case of China Pakistan economic corridor
Abstract: 
 The selection of highway alignment without explicit consideration of the interests and preferences of stakeholders is a major recipe for conflicts and opposition in highway projects. Given the complex and dynamic nature of the highway alignment decision atmosphere, a dynamic framework is imperative. This research evaluated three multi-criteria decision methods (MCDMs), identified the optimal combination and proposed a highway alignment decision support framework which embraces the preferences of stakeholders. The proposed framework was validated using a controversial ongoing mega highway project from the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Thus, the study makes a useful contribution to the praxis and practice of the highway alignment decision-making process.

Title: A new hybrid modified MADM model for the potential evaluation of a comprehensive land consolidation project (LCP) toward achieving sustainable development
Abstract: 
 The potential evaluations of land consolidation projects (LCPs) are core in ex-ante evaluations to ensure that resource allocations are effective for achieving sustainable development. There are some problems with the unrealistic assumptions of the real world in these evaluations, such as the assumed independence of the criteria/dimensions in real-world problems. In this research, to fill this performance gap, a new hybrid modified MADM model was developed to construct an evaluation framework for comprehensive LCPs, covering three dimensions and ten criteria. Two LCPs real cases were used as empirical cases. The results of the DEMATEL method indicate that to achieve sustainable rural development through LCPs, “Production dimension (D1)” and “Ecological dimensions (D3)” having the characteristics that affect others should be the focus, although the DANP suggests that the “Life dimension (D2)” has the highest influence weight. The modified VIKOR suggests that Case A has more potential than Case B.

Title: Bringing the swamp in from the periphery: Australian wetlands as sites of climate resilience and political agency
Abstract: 
 Wetlands serve two increasingly critical functions in a climate-changed world, namely sequestering atmospheric carbon and moderating extremes in regional water cycles. These functions are particularly crucial in Australia, where climate change is likely to increase extreme weather events and impact water cycles. Yet despite multiscalar legal protections, Australia’s total wetland cover is decreasing over time. We examine two contested wetland case studies and find that while legal mechanisms of protection exist in deliberative processes, good environmental outcomes are often undermined by the political mobility of competing commercial and industrial interests. Wetlands must be brought in from the periphery of social and political consciousness and placed at the heart of climate adaptation discourse and policy. Increasing the political mobility and agency of wetland protection has the capacity to simultaneously improve the environmental outcomes of deliberative processes and provide a legitimate pathway to greater regional climate resilience.

Title: Contribution of non-timber forest products to the livelihood of farmers in coffee growing areas: evidence from Yayu Coffee Forest Biosphere Reserve
Abstract: 
 This article examines the role of forest products in the livelihoods of forest-dependent households in the Yayu Coffee Forest Biosphere Reserve in the South Western part of Ethiopia. Unlike many forest landscapes, households in Yayu district cultivate their primary crop, coffee, in a complex landscape. Sampled households (n = 241) were chosen based on the stratified random sampling method. We employ both descriptive statistics and econometric regression to assess the extent of forest product use and analyse the determinants of forest income, respectively. We find that relatively poor households are more dependent on forest resources as a share of total income than better-off households. We further find that households in the Yayu district use non-timber forest products (NTFPs) mainly for consumption. The current zoning arrangements around the biosphere reserve support the provision of NTFPs, particularly for poorer households and should be considered for replication in other complex landscapes.

Title: Understanding the problems of biogas production deployment in different regions: territorial governance matters too
Abstract: 
 Despite the climate emergency, there is still no consensus on renewable energies, which have to confront forms of social opposition that may well affect the success of any project (especially wind energy and biogas). We propose an original analytical framework to go beyond the nimbyist approach, combining the proximity theory and the exit-voice model. This enables us to examine the thinking adopted by biogas production stakeholders and the ensuing associations in order to identify and understand the obstacles to the development of joint biogas production projects. Taking further other theories that highlight the importance of place attachment and place identity, we show that the challenges linked to a project’s territorial governance can explain conflicts that may lead the project initiators to abandon a biogas plant’s construction. We show that considering the local residents’ interests and including them in the participative procedures are not the only factors that count, but also, more generally, coordination between all of the stakeholders. Our paper also highlights the need for an intermediary actor to play the role of facilitator in organising different types of proximity.

Title: The involvement of non-state actors in the creation and management of protected areas: insights from the Portuguese case
Abstract: 
 Increasingly, Protected Areas (PAs) are sustained by a multilevel governance where demands for public participation have occurred against the backdrop of state reconfiguration. Little scholarly attention has been paid to how these shifts have taken place; this paper aims to diachronically assess the involvement of non-state actors in the governance of PAs in Portugal. Our findings indicate that while the range of actors involved in the decision-making process has progressively widened, their engagement remains mainly consultative. Moreover, PAs managed by local authorities and private actors have been recognised, yet local authorities’ involvement in PAs managed by state actors has been recently reduced. These apparently contradictory trends seem to illustrate a common rationale: state actors are fighting to retain control while adapting to the broadening role of multiple actors in nature conservation policies. We conclude that new governance approaches do not necessarily pave the way for more public participation in conservation.

Title: Participation of civil society in decisions to mitigate environmental degradation in post-conflict societies: evidence from Somalia
Abstract: 
 The question of the degree to which participation by civil society contributes to environmental decisions in post-conflict societies has received little attention. This study sheds light on the extent to which degrees of participation contribute to environmental decision-making in the Puntland State of Somalia using questionnaire surveys. We found that active participation has the highest contribution to environmental decisions. Our findings also indicated that the most pressing forms of environmental degradation in Puntland, as perceived by the respondents, are land degradation, drought related to the scarcity of rainfall, and deforestation. This study recommends “environmental cooperation” built into the peace-building process as a clear-cut concept to tackle both environmental degradation and conflicts. At the core of this concept is active participation and collaboration between civil society and the government as a means of mitigating environmental degradation in post-conflict Somalia. This will result in favorable environmental conditions and sustainable peace.

Title: Farmers as climate citizens
Abstract: 
 This article explores the potential for farmers to become climate citizens. Drawing on in-depth interviews, we analyse how Norwegian farmers relate to climate change in their everyday farming practises. After discussing the concepts of environmental and ecological citizenship, we propose the climate citizen approach to meet the challenges that climate change poses to agriculture. Until now, Norwegian farmers’ response to climate change has been limited. Major changes in farming practises seem unlikely without incentives from the state. A climate citizen approach can help balance a response to institutional regulations and policies with the individual moral obligation to take personal and non-reciprocal responsibility for the planet. In order to influence how farmers might incorporate climate change awareness into their everyday practises, policy makers should take existing norms and values in the agricultural community into account and adopt clear and manageable instruments to reward farmers for taking adaptive measures.

Title: Promoting consumer environmental friendly purchase behaviour: a synthesized model from three short-term longitudinal studies in Australia
Abstract: 
 This study aims to develop a predictive model of consumer behaviour in the context of environmental purchases. Each of three environmental behaviours consisting of 250 respondents was collected in Australia using a short-term longitudinal survey. This research is novel in several ways. First, the article investigates the influence of self-determination on the relationship between the two normative components of attitude and behavioural intentions, which represent the integration of the Theory of Planned Behaviour and the Self-Determination Theory, to provide a nuanced understanding of the effects of intrinsically based motivation and extrinsically based motivation on behavioural intentions. Second, our work highlights the important role that planning plays in the translation of behavioural intentions into behaviour. The results show that the behaviour of consumers who report high levels of self-determination is strongly predicted by personal norms. Meanwhile, planning is a significant mediator of the effect of consumers’ intentions on performing a given behaviour.

Title: Finding common ground in urban governance networks: what are its facilitating factors?
Abstract: 
 This article deals with the subject of finding common ground in urban governance networks. A theoretical model is developed in which three potential facilitating factors of common ground, i.e. trust, consensus orientation, and boundary spanning activity, are investigated. We have used Structural Equation Modeling in testing the relationships. We have made use of the results of survey research into urban governance networks in the Netherlands. We have selected urban projects and respondents from the four biggest cities in the Netherlands: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, the Hague, and Utrecht to conduct the survey research. We have found that all three factors have a significant relationship with developing common ground in urban governance networks, and can therefore be considered important facilitating factors of common ground.

Title: Applying a novel environmental health framework theory (I-ACT) to noise pollution policies in the United States, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands
Abstract: 
 I-ACT is a theoretical framework designed to guide environmental health improvement efforts. I-ACT identifies four interacting drivers of change that influence an environmental health aim: (1) Information systems; (2) public Awareness; (3) leadership and Coordination; and, (4) Tools. Actors can use I-ACT to clarify roles and identify strategies to impact their aim. Here, we apply the I-ACT framework to a ubiquitous environmental hazard, noise pollution, comparing three Western countries: the United States, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Our approach statutorily defines each country's designated aims, qualitatively evaluates its information systems, awareness, coordination, and tools, and assesses the role of these drivers in achieving the aims. While the Netherlands and the United Kingdom demonstrated robust activity for some drivers, the United States showed limited activity and achievement. There appeared to be an association between achievement of aims and demonstrated elements of each driver, providing support for the utility of I-ACT.

Title: Spatial scale influences how people value and perceive green open space
Abstract: 
 It is important for landscape planners and managers to understand how urban residents value and interact with green open spaces. However, the effect of spatial scale on values and perceptions of green open spaces has, to date, received little attention. This study explored the influence of spatial scale using Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) methods in the Lower Hunter region of Australia. By asking respondents to assign markers denoting various values and preferences to green spaces displayed on maps of their suburb and municipality, the influence of scale was assessed experimentally. A greater abundance and diversity of value markers were consistently assigned at the suburb scale, yet this pattern was more pronounced for some values (e.g. physical activity) than others (e.g. nature, cultural significance). The strength of this relationship was related to socio-demographic variables such as education and income. These results have implications for understanding human–environment relationships and the use of PPGIS techniques to inform environmental planning.

Title: Balancing tourism development and nature protection across national park borders – a case study of a coastal protected area in Norway
Abstract: 
 The study examines the relationship between nature management and land use planning in order to balance nature protection and tourism development within and outside national park borders. Applying theory about local networks and social learning, we highlight how responsible actors coordinate in order to strike a balance between protection and tourism. Based on this study of a Norwegian coastal national park, we state that competent key individuals are crucial preconditions for fulfilling the management and planning objectives in a wider regional context. In our case study, such personnel within the national park management and municipal land use planning system serve as bridge builders between nature protection and tourism. However, we argue that the existing management system is very vulnerable, and an important implication of our study is that the present local network should be more firmly institutionalized in order to become sufficiently robust and resistant to changes.

Title: Thinking through ALMOLIN: the community bio-centre approach in water and sewerage service provision in Nairobi's informal settlements
Abstract: 
 About 55% of Nairobi's population lives in informal settlements, which lie beyond the reach of municipal water and sewerage networks. As a coping mechanism, deprived communities in Nairobi's large informal settlements are increasingly devising new strategies, technologies, institutional frameworks and servicing models to satisfy their water needs, in the face of neglect by the state, private sector and conventional market suppliers. Through the lens of Alternative Model of Local Innovation, this paper interrogates the viability of community-led infrastructure provision exemplified by the bio-centre model as an alternative servicing model that also claims to promote bottom-linked governance and inclusive urban development policies. It examines whether such a model may contribute to the bridging of socio-spatial differences within and across informal settlements.

Title: Consumer preferences for green digital camera attributes to inform electrical and electronic equipment design and development
Abstract: 
 Electronic waste (e-waste) is a growing problem, causing concerns for many countries. Consumer electronics often feature substantial e-waste, yet little is known about the materials used or physical designs applied that might ensure the appropriate management of e-waste. This paper examines user-driven innovation in ‘green’ electronics, based on a 2015 survey of Taiwanese residents. The conjoint analysis, conducted with digital cameras, reveals consumers’ perceptions of innovative designs for seven component materials: battery, shell, monitor, filters, modeling, flash, and sensor. The results suggest that users can be encouraged to participate in the design of energy-related products that satisfy their needs. Rethinking the design of certain attributes in electronics can help reduce the need for toxic materials, improve energy consumption, reduce landfill space, and mitigate ecological pollution.

Title: Willingness to pay to reduce health risks related to air quality: evidence from a choice experiment survey in Beijing
Abstract: 
 This study reports the results from a discrete choice experiment conducted in Beijing China. It aims to elicit monetary values for the value of a statistical life (VSL) and the value of a statistical illness (VSI) that can be considered for policy purposes in China, and to examine how different payment regimes influence willingness to pay (WTP) and whether WTP is age-dependent. We find that our estimates are robust between different econometric model specifications and that they are reliable when compared to previous Chinese findings. We find no evidence of any VSL–age relationship but we find that the payment scheme had an effect on the levels of the estimates of the VSL and VSI, and that taking into account the payment regimes when estimating the models improved their performance. However, levels were relatively close and not statistically significantly different for VSL which may suggest that respondents considered both schemes as similar.

Title: Do mandates matter for plan quality? Jurisdictional aggregation for a watershed level comparison
Abstract: 
 Despite the prominent ecological and economic roles played by local water bodies, jurisdictions routinely fail to take action to protect water resources. To combat this failure to act, mandates can intervene in the land-development process by requiring the creation of a plan. This study compares two watersheds – one watershed planning under Maryland's mandate and one watershed planning without a mandate in North Carolina. Using established plan quality content analysis methods, (1) the quality of plans and (2) the impact of a mandate on the quality of plans are explored with respect to water resource protection. Low overall plan quality scores reveal that policies and practices aimed at protecting water resources are not consistently incorporated into plans at the jurisdictional or watershed level. The findings also suggest, but cannot conclude, that a planning mandate without specific guidance on water resource protection may be an insufficient condition for higher quality plans.

Title: Capacities for developing adaptive management strategies: the case of the Calakmul municipality
Abstract: 
 The ability to collaborate and to share information about ecosystem dynamics and successful management practices is increasingly important in terms of addressing the constant changes and uncertainties that prevent the formulation of activities that promote natural resource sustainability. This is particularly true in very recent institutions of natural resource management that have very few sources of traditional knowledge, e.g., the Calakmul municipality. The southern Mexican municipality of Calakmul was established relatively recently and is a biodiversity hotspot, although 46% of its human population live in extreme poverty. To address the challenges implied by this social-ecological system, successful collaboration between stakeholders requires development of capacities to make joint decisions. Social networks have been identified as channels of transmission of knowledge, which is vital to achieve solutions to management problems. The aim of this paper is to identify the different types of organizations with a stake in the natural resource management of Calakmul municipality and to evaluate the network structure of the inter-organizational collaboration in order to understand how adaptive co-management is either being facilitated or obstructed. The structural characteristics of the Calakmul collaboration networks, such as heterogeneity of knowledge sources, can bring some advantages, but they mainly confer disadvantages because of the low interaction density between organizations and the low capability for achieving collaborative action. The example of Calakmul demonstrates how social network structure can influence the number of opportunities for collective learning and indicates how these could be modified in order to improve adaptive co-management.

Title: Airline environmental efficiency measures considering materials balance principles: an application of a network range-adjusted measure with weak-G disposability
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we focus on assessing airline environmental efficiency with network structure and build a three-stage efficiency production process. Then, we propose a new model, network range-adjusted measure with weak-G disposability, to measure the environmental efficiency of 29 global airlines based on the data from 2008 to 2015. Finally, a second-stage regression analysis is done to explore the important influencing factors. The main findings are as follows: (1) Eva Air is the airline with the highest efficiency among these 29 airlines; (2) Delta is at the bottom of the efficiency ranking among the 29 airlines and this result is in correlation with its old aircraft fleet; (3) the average efficiency change index in 2014 is the highest in the period 2009–2015; (4) only average fleet age has a slightly significant impact on the overall efficiency and Services efficiency.

Title: Chinese consumer responses to carbon labeling: evidence from experimental auctions
Abstract: 
 With the growing anxiety over global warming, some groups have advocated the mandatory carbon labeling of products, whereas other groups have opposed such labeling. How consumers respond to carbon labels is a key question with important implications for both policy-makers and managers. Using a random nth-price auction experiment together with a questionnaire, we systematically examined the extent to which Chinese consumers care about environmental impacts and how their willingness to pay (WTP) is influenced by carbon labels. We have determined that WTP significantly increases for products with added carbon labels and decreases when the carbon emissions of a product increase. This response to carbon information disclosure is influenced by factors such as the gender and awareness of environmental pollution by the consumer. This study offers valuable insights to policy-makers and managers for carbon labeling promotion and product positioning.

Title: Land-use planning as a tool for balancing the scientific and the social in biodiversity and ecosystem services mainstreaming? The case of Durban, South Africa
Abstract: 
 This paper evaluates the role of land-use planning, especially open space systems, in mainstreaming biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES) at the urban level. Whilst there is increasing interest in BES mainstreaming to balance environmental protection with socio-economic development, there is also concern that BES thinking deflects attention from underlying social justice questions. Through the case study of Durban, South Africa – often held as an exemplar in BES mainstreaming – we argue open space systems can offer a pathway to BES mainstreaming that is both scientifically effective and socially just. Yet what makes this possible in Durban, we argue, is (1) a robust scientific evidence base deployed reflexively and sensitively; (2) a move towards explicit emphasis on providing benefits of BES to the most vulnerable people; and (3) supportive policy frameworks plus the presence of biodiversity managers able to navigate the political as well as scientific landscape.

Title: Practicing mindfulness as a means for enhancing workplace pro-environmental behaviors among managers
Abstract: 
 As ecological concerns become pressing, attempts to address these remain limited to enforcing laws, while alternative ways of encouraging workplace pro-environmental behaviors (WPEBs), such as cultivating mindfulness, remain unexplored. Informed by theories of PEBs from OB-IO literature, we offer propositions detailing the role that practicing mindfulness plays in (directly and indirectly) enhancing managerial propensity to engage in WPEBs. Our paper contributes to extant literature: (1) on theories of PEBs, by showing that some of the same theories that apply to the private domain also hold for commercial organizations; (2) relating mindfulness to PEBs, by expanding the exploration from personal and consumer domains to managerial contexts; and (3) on interventions to enhance WPEBs, by exposing the underlying mechanism of ‘how’ practicing mindfulness enhances managerial engagement in WPEBs. We call for companies to offer more mindfulness-based training programs to employees, since such initiatives complement laws and other interventions in supporting WPEBs.

Title: Analysing the causes of environmental management and audit scheme (EMAS) decrease in Europe
Abstract: 
 Environmental Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is the most important public standard for an Environmental Management System. In the last few years, the number of certified organisations has been decreasing. Scholars have largely debated the drivers, barriers and benefits, but the recent decrease in EMAS registrations has not been sufficiently studied, leaving unsolved questions for scholars, practitioners and policy-makers. This paper aims to address this literature gap by (i) analysing the trends of other voluntary certification schemes in order to understand whether the decrease is a peculiarity of EMAS; (ii) investigating the reasons why formerly registered organisations have abandoned EMAS and why ISO14001 certified organisations do not adopt EMAS. The paper reports results of 17 interviews highlighting the lack of financial and human resources, the lack of market and stakeholder recognition, and the unclear added value of EMAS as reasons for the decrease of EMAS.

Title: Stakeholder engagement and multi-criteria decision aiding in the electricity transmission grid reinforcement: evidence from a role-playing game
Abstract: 
 In many countries, any substantial increase in the share of renewable energy will require a reinforcement of the electricity transmission grid. We examine the value added by Multi-Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA), which may support decisions on corridor alternatives for grid reinforcement by including stakeholder preferences. We present the results of a role-playing game to verify whether stakeholders can agree on a priority ranking of criteria for MCDA and whether this agreement can foster acceptance for the outcome of the process. Our results show that agreement among participants on criteria ranking during a common elicitation of the importance of criteria is significantly related to acceptance of the outcome as provided by the MCDA. Additionally, this method creates a common ground for generating acceptable solutions for subsequent steps in planning transmission lines. Our findings suggest that MCDA may generate higher stakeholder acceptance through the common and active inclusion of different actors in grid planning decisions.

Title: Reducing CO2 emissions in the EU member states: Do environmental taxes work?
Abstract: 
 The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of environmentally related taxes on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the EU member states. The paper uses a dynamic panel threshold regression model to determine the nonlinear relationship between environmental taxes and CO2 emissions in 15 EU member countries between 1995 and 2013. The results confirm asymmetrical relationships, in which the thresholds of the environmental taxes for total environmental taxes, energy taxes (including CO2 taxes), transport taxes, and taxes on pollution and resources are 3.02%, 2.20%, 0.88%, and 0.23%, respectively. The findings reveal that, after exceeding the threshold level, the effect of environmentally related taxes (excluding transport taxes) on CO2 emissions changes from insignificantly positive to significantly negative. However, the analysis shows a significant effect of transport taxes on CO2 emissions neither below nor above the threshold.

Title: Policy preferences and the diversity of instrument choice for mitigating climate change impacts in the transport sector
Abstract: 
 Different policy approaches and responses to common environmental challenges, such as climate change, exist between countries, and sometimes even within countries. This situation arises because public policy-makers are not only driven by concerns of theoretical purity but are also influenced by a range of social, political, economic, cultural and administrative matters when selecting techniques or instruments to achieve specific policy goals. This article examines whether the diversity of stated policy instruments to tackle climate change mitigation in the transport sector can be explained according to national policy preferences in a European context. It also investigates whether the mix of national climate change policy instruments for transport exhibits temporal stability, even after national changes in political power. To do so, the article reviews a series of national policy documents that address climate change in the transport sector in four European countries with contrasting administrative traditions – France, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Title: Spatial decision support for nature-based shoreline stabilization options in subtropical estuarine environments
Abstract: 
 In response to shoreline erosion and potentially more severe storm damage due to climate change and sea level rise, armouring of shorelines using traditional hard structures is likely to increase. An emerging alternative to seawalls and other hard structures is to create ‘living shorelines’ where natural habitats are incorporated into a resilient shoreline stabilization design. Research has shown that functional, multiuse living shorelines provide options for reducing erosion rates and sustaining shoreline stability while supporting intertidal and nearshore habitat. Drawing upon the scientific literature, shoreline management best practices, and the results from an expert opinion survey, we propose a spatial decision framework for multiclass suitability analysis of generic shoreline stabilization options with a focus on the unique challenges and opportunities of South Florida. The results have been incorporated into a web application that can facilitate decision-making in support of nature-based stabilization infrastructure.

Title: Contextualizing institutional factors in an indicator-based analysis of hazard vulnerability for coastal communities
Abstract: 
 Indicator-based approaches to hazard vulnerability analysis are designed to produce policy-relevant information, but are limited in their ability to incorporate indicators that reflect the complex nature and contextual influence of institutional factors on vulnerability. This study focuses on local government policy and practice as an institutional factor and draws on a survey of municipal practitioners to inform indicators that reflect it. Rather than assess relative vulnerability, the study takes an original approach to construct an index that identifies similarities and differences in forms of capital that influence vulnerability across communities. The index is demonstrated through a case study of 50 coastal communities in British Columbia, Canada. The study uses local practitioner knowledge to inform indicators of institutional capital that influence vulnerability to coastal flood hazards, investigates associations between key indicators, and illustrates that incorporating meaningful indicators of institutional capital can enable contextual analysis of how local policy factors affect vulnerability.

Title: Assessment and management of air emissions and environmental impacts from the construction industry
Abstract: 
 The construction industry involves heavy machine usage which contributes a large amount of air pollutant emissions, including greenhouse gases (GHG), particulate matter, and diesel exhaust. These emissions cause serious environmental issues and climate change. This paper provides a systematic review of the existing research efforts and challenges on measuring air pollutant emissions and assessing the environmental impact from the construction industry. The advantages and disadvantages of various methodologies used in measuring emissions and assessing the environmental impacts of construction are compared. The existing air dispersion models used in the construction field are also reviewed. The results from the review help to identify cost-effective environmental planning and management processes. Consequently, future trends towards improving existing emission assessments and management processes are put forward, and a new framework is proposed for the effective assessment and management of air emissions and environmental impacts from the construction industry.

Title: Infrastructures of expertise: policy convergence and the implementation of the EU Nitrates Directive in Poland
Abstract: 
 Access to the EU leads to a process of policy convergence in which member states’ institutions and policy cultures become increasingly adapted to align with an EU governance system. Especially in EU environmental policy, knowledge and expertise are key aspects of the institutions and policy cultures that are adapted in this process, which ideally results in the alignment of EU policy and administrative arrangements of member states. This paper offers a historical analysis of the Nitrates Directive's implementation in Poland and shows how increasing convergence of Polish institutions and cultures of expertise with EU policy occurred in response to the directive's requirements. The results highlight that (1) knowledge and expertise are central to policy convergence processes and that (2) institutions and cultures of expertise are entwined in ‘infrastructures of expertise’. The paper concludes with a call for more consideration of the science–policy interface in policy convergence processes related to Europeanisation.

Title: Bringing people closer to water: integrating water management and urban infrastructure
Abstract: 
 New stormwater management approaches that integrate water management with urban planning and design increasingly encompass social objectives. However, the principles and concepts upon which they are based do not provide sufficient guidance and analysis on how water is perceived as a sociological factor. The objective of the paper is to develop a Sociological Framework for evaluating and guiding the incorporation of sociological dimensions into water sensitive design programmes and projects, and demonstrate the applicability of the framework through the evaluation of the Bedok Reservoir project under Singapore's ABC Waters Programme. The framework covers the domains of awareness and behaviour, social cohesion, and interactions. The framework can assist researchers and policy-makers in better understanding and integrating sociological dimensions in water sensitive design.

Title: A spatial hedonic analysis of the housing market around a large, failing desert lake: the case of the Salton Sea in California
Abstract: 
 Many lakes around the world exhibit acute environmental stress due to water transfers, persistent droughts, and polluted runoff. In addition, falling water levels worsen air quality by exposing desiccated shores. To our knowledge, however, no published hedonic study has analyzed the costs of deteriorating water quality jointly with the air quality impacts of falling water levels for a large inland water body. We conduct such an analysis for the Salton Sea, the largest lake in California. Our spatial autoregressive models estimated on single-family properties located within 10 miles (16.1 km) of the Sea show that a 1 km reduction in distance to the Sea results in a $595 decrease in the price of a single-family residence. In addition, a 1% increase in annual particulate matter concentration reduces the value of the average family residence by $1,140. These results highlight the vulnerability of poor rural communities to deteriorating environmental conditions.

Title: Barriers to achieving additionality in carbon offsets: a regulatory risk perspective
Abstract: 
 The Specified Gas Emitters Regulation (SGER) in Alberta, Canada was the first North American regulation to mandate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Regulated entities may use carbon offsets to meet their emissions reduction obligations. Although conceptually sound, the offset market has fallen short of its potential to reduce emissions. By analyzing the policies and operations of the Alberta Emissions Offset System (AEOS), enabled by the SGER, we illustrate how participants are impacted by uncertainty in the Alberta carbon offset development process, using ECB Lethbridge Biogas as a case study. Our analysis shows that existing uncertainty from regulation creates risk for projects, which builds barriers that prevent regulated entities, project developers, and the province of Alberta from reaching the full potential of the regulation. We provide recommendations that will help to achieve additionality within the offset system by encouraging increased participation from high-quality projects, ultimately resulting in greater emission reductions.

Title: A critical assessment of employing democratic and deliberative ideals in the environmental planning process in Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 In the 6th (2011–15) and 7th (2016–20) Five Year Plans (FYP), Bangladesh's policy makers have set ambitious national environmental targets and goals to move the country towards more a sustainable economy and society. The goals were dictated by the economic, social and political interests of the political elites. This has resulted in limited stakeholder participation in environmental policy formulation. The 6th FYP aimed at achieving Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 7: ‘Ensure Environmental Sustainability’. It failed due to shortcomings in local implementation and due to a lack of community participation. The 7th FYP is based on the newly adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 13, 14, 15. The obvious paradox within Bangladesh's environmental planning is the big gap between central government's policy making and community participation and local government involvement. This paper examines environmental policy formulation, implementation and monitoring in the last two FYPs in Bangladesh. Contemporary deliberative democratic theory provides important theoretical and applied insights that are often unexamined in the environmental planning literature. A theoretical framework is developed to analyse to what degree environmental planning arrangements incorporated deliberative elements and how they contribute to decision-making. A case study of the environmental planning process tests its effectiveness in explaining observed outcomes. Elsewhere, deliberative democratic approaches have been central to the success of the environmental planning process. The central government's failure to apply this approach produced a policy gap. Plan targets cannot be met unless local participation is ensured through the deliberative framework.

Title: Planning for green qualities in the densification of suburban Stockholm – opportunities and challenges
Abstract: 
 Implementing urban densification projects in planning practice while simultaneously providing sufficient green spaces has proven to be challenging. Consequently, there is an increasing need for practical approaches to urban green space management in the on-going densification of cities. Therefore, this study was designed to give a better understanding of current green space management practice in two municipalities in Stockholm, Sweden, undergoing densification. The challenges identified through interviews with municipal planners were related to site-specific conditions for densification projects, conflicting interests between involved and affected actors, green quality management issues, and limited use of impact assessment tools. In the municipalities, innovative approaches were adopted in efforts to minimize the above challenges, such as collaboration between the developers and planners, or participatory workshops with the local citizens. This paper explores these challenges and approaches, and makes further recommendations for improving green space management practice.

Title: Getting the ball rolling: an exploration of the drivers and barriers towards the implementation of bottom-up circular economy initiatives in Amsterdam and Rotterdam
Abstract: 
 The notion of Circular Economy is often presented as a more sustainable alternative to a ‘linear’ economic system. However, there is a distinct gap in the academic literature surrounding the concept, particularly in terms of implementation. This article provides an initial exploration into critical factors influencing the process of implementation by studying 12 bottom-up CE initiatives in the two Dutch cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with key stakeholder(s) for each initiative in order to identify the perceived importance of the critical factors. In total, 18 critical factors were identified, grouped into 5 overarching categories: financial, institutional, policy and regulatory, technology and knowledge, and social. The analysis shows that the critical factors identified do not act in isolation, and form a complex web of interconnecting critical factors. Furthermore, it illustrates how certain critical factors are of significant influence at particular stages throughout the process of implementation.

Title: Municipal climate change adaptation and mitigation: from planning to action in Nova Scotia
Abstract: 
 Jurisdictions around the globe are working to address climate change and many municipalities are seeking to protect their communities from its impacts. Although nearly half the world’s population resides in rural areas, most municipal climate change planning literature focuses on urban municipalities. To that end, this paper analyzes the public policy process of Nova Scotia, Canada’s rural Municipal Climate Change Action Planning mandate. Through an analysis of the plans and follow-up interviews with municipal planners, we examine the conditions that sustain local climate planning and what municipalities gleaned from this climate planning process.

Title: Biases and environmental risks in urban Africa: household solid waste decision-making
Abstract: 
 We argue in this paper that the urban environmental planning and management literature has paid insufficient attention to the nexus of risk and human psychology in urban dynamics, particularly for the rapidly urbanizing areas of the Global South. We then draw on two household surveys in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to present two empirical examples that incorporate these dimensions, using solid waste management as a contemporary urban environmental challenge. These examples illustrate the sensitivity of behavioral preferences to the framing of risks, and the influence of risk preferences on solid waste behavior. Incorporating such concepts into environmental planning and management research offers the potential to increase understanding of urban dynamics and to improve the environmental quality of life in urban Africa and elsewhere in both developing and developed country settings.

Title: The repercussions of foreign direct investment, renewable energy and health expenditure on environmental decay? An econometric analysis of B&RI countries
Abstract: 
 To achieve the objectives of the study, we have analyzed the repercussions of income, foreign direct investment, health expenditure and renewable energy consumption on environmental pollution (CO2) in a panel of Belt and Road Initiative (B&RI) countries over the time span 1995–2016. The study employed a second-generation unit root test, panel co-integration, two-step generalized method of moments (GMM), fully modified least squares (FMOLS), symmetric and asymmetric causalities for robust inference. The cointegration results established the long-run relationship between the variables. Empirical results indicated the effectiveness of renewable energy in combatting CO2 emissions, the negative sign of FDI with CO2 emissions negates the existence of the pollution haven hypothesis for the B&RI panel. Where income and health expenditure accelerates CO2 emissions, which degrades the environment, these results in the case of individual countries differ in various stages. Varieties of symmetric and asymmetric causalities are also discussed in the study. The study concludes with long term policies, which are necessary for the sustained growth of B&RI countries.

Title: The pitchfork or the fishhook: a multi-stakeholder perspective towards intensive farming in floodplains
Abstract: 
 When conservation conflicts occur, the recognition of a plurality of perspectives among the stakeholders makes it possible to better understand the divergences and convergences between the parties. In this research, Q methodology was used to explore different stakeholder views on management issues surrounding intensive farming in the floodplain of Lac Saint-Pierre (Quebec, Canada), a UNESCO biosphere reserve and a RAMSAR conservation site. In recent decades, Lac Saint-Pierre has undergone many changes in its floodplain, notably through the conversion of perennial crops to more intensive annual crops considered incompatible with aquatic life by the conservation community and current agri-environmental laws. This research highlighted three perspectives related to the standing of intensive farming in Lac Saint-Pierre’s floodplain: pro-conservation, pro-agriculture and conflict between agriculture and conservation in the floodplains. This research illustrates the socio-ecological complexity behind intensive farming in floodplains and the need for representativeness of the main perspectives during negotiations between the parties.

Title: Greenspace volunteering post-disaster: exploration of themes in motivation, barriers, and benefits from post-hurricane park and garden volunteers
Abstract: 
 Volunteers are an important resource for green infrastructure, both providing important maintenance, as well as providing education and connection that promotes conservation and ecological work. In addition, volunteering in greenspaces can benefit the individual and the community. However, there may a particular case for volunteering in greenspaces post-disaster in regard to both environmental and community resilience. This study explores post-hurricane volunteering in parks, gardens, and trails to investigate whether this type of volunteering is beneficial and positively described, increasing characteristics that may lead to resilience, in contrast to studies that have found negative associations with post-disaster volunteering. Results based on thematic analysis suggest that volunteers view greenspace volunteering differently from other, people-driven volunteering post-disaster. Short-term, or event, volunteers report positive feelings and outcomes; whereas, only a few long-term, female volunteers reported stress or negative emotions involved with their volunteer experience.

Title: Comprehensive plans as tools for enhancing coastal community resilience
Abstract: 
 Planning for change is critical to ensuring resilient coastal communities. In Maine, USA, the comprehensive planning process provides a platform for communities to articulate policies that address social, economic, and environmental issues. While comprehensive plans were initially required of municipalities to address urban sprawl over thirty years ago, a broad range of challenges face coastal communities today. Here, we report on an assessment of 30 comprehensive plans from coastal communities across the state. We analyzed the degree to which plans incorporate principles of social-ecological resilience. Our results reveal significant variability across comprehensive plans, with some communities addressing key indicators of resilience and others engaging with them in a limited way. By more explicitly incorporating principles of social-ecological resilience, the next-generation of comprehensive plans can be repurposed to serve as tools for communities to implement strategies that build adaptive capacity as they face unprecedented challenges and plan for a changing world.

Title: Evaluating evolving experiments: the case of local government action to implement ecological sustainable design
Abstract: 
 While accounts of urban climate change governance and planning are growing, there is a need for further conceptual and empirical work to better understand processes of change and uptake across a range of local responses. This paper uses the Council Alliance for a Sustainable Built Environment (CASBE) as an urban experiment seeking to influence development and planning decisions to improve sustainability outcomes in the built environment in the State of Victoria, Australia. The evaluation is structured using Luederitz et al.’s tentative evaluative scheme for sustainability transition experiments. This paper also seeks to test, reflect, and further develop the scheme by highlighting the challenge of evaluating unbounded and not necessarily purposefully designed experiments. Finally, this paper calls for developing an approach to better reveal the political, social, and institutional complexities influencing the potential of experiments.

Title: The use of multiple actual referenda in a new payment card methodology
Abstract: 
 We present the case for the adoption of a new payment card (PC) methodology, which we call multiple referenda payment card, in contingent valuation (CV) surveys. Our new multiple referenda payment card method uses actual referenda, which appeared on a recent ballot that preceded the survey’s distribution. The cost of these actual referenda to taxpayers is used as the range of cost bids in a usual payment card format for a new advisory environmental public good, the restoration of wetlands. The result is a more realistic framework for respondents to consider our advisory referendum. We compare our new multiple referenda payment card method to a dichotomous choice referenda and show that the new payment card method reduces hypothetical bias such as “yea-saying,” aids in selection of reasonable and realistic cost bids, as well as eliminates the “fat tails” problem.

Title: Is coastal adaptation a public good? The financing implications of good characteristics in coastal adaptation
Abstract: 
 Sea level rise poses a crisis for coastal communities. Many local governments have identified strategies to prepare for the impacts of sea level rise but often lack funding mechanisms. To date, the assumption that coastal adaptation is a public good has limited the tools used to finance responses to sea level rise. We argue that good characteristics - subtractability, excludability, heterogeneity, joint production, and capital intensity - combine in unique ways across adaptation strategies, and few strategies provide exclusively public goods. These good characteristics create political opportunities for application of financing mechanisms such as property taxes, district-level finance, and bonds that have been less commonly used for adaptation. Exploring the good characteristics of a particular adaptation strategy can help communities identify an appropriate and feasible mechanism for financing it.

Title: When the tide gets high: a review of adaptive responses to sea level rise and coastal flooding
Abstract: 
 Climate change poses significant challenges to coastal cities. Local governments around the world are using various strategies to address sea level rise and coastal flooding. Most of these responses are reactive, developed in an ad hoc manner following a specific event, but there is an increasing recognition of the need for more comprehensive and proactive approaches. Research into the topic reflects practice, with numerous studies of particular locations or strategies providing information in a piecemeal manner lacking in comprehensive evaluations. This paper addresses this gap through a systematic literature review that identifies coastal flooding and sea level rise adaptation practices and evaluates their comparative advantages and disadvantages. The findings identify a major knowledge gap in comparative costs and benefits of alternative adaptation strategies and indicate that coastal climate adaptation needs to be tailored to local characteristics and use a combination of different structural and non-structural measures to be effective.

Title: Deriving site-specific and time-varying supply curves for forest carbon storage
Abstract: 
 We examine whether site-specific and time-varying supply functions for environmental benefits can be used to improve the design of conservation programs. We derive time-varying supply curves for site-specific forest carbon storage at the one-km2 pixel level for three periods for the southern Appalachian region of the United States. We couple a land use model with a carbon simulation model to estimate the opportunity cost of sequestering forest carbon and derive supply curves for forest carbon storage for the three periods. Our study derives a large number of annual supply curves for site-specific forest carbon storage across multiple periods. Our approach signifies the value of identifying cost-effective approaches at a fine enough scale to account for the information asymmetry between private landowner costs and their benefits from potential land uses. The temporal aspect of our findings raise important questions about temporal flexibilities of payment designs with regard to their spatial targeting.

Title: The role of a deductible/credit system for post-disaster public assistance in meeting alternative policy goals
Abstract: 
 We analyze a major potential reform of the current FEMA Public Assistance Program that would establish a deductible against the coverage of losses and would offer credits for expenditure on risk reduction by states as an incentive to offset the deductible. While the current FEMA Program is targeted primarily towards repairing damaged property, there is a potential to formulate a Deductible/Credit System (DCS), so as to achieve a reduction in other worthy goals as well, such as reducing fatalities and accelerating recovery. We analyze the effect of the DCS on the achievement of these alternative goals and on state and federal expenditure under various assumptions about which types of disaster losses are eligible for credits. Although the effect of the DCS depends on how states respond to the credit incentive, it is unlikely to reduce total state expenditure on the combination of risk reduction and disaster losses in the short term.

Title: Principles in practice: Toward a conceptual framework for resilient urban design
Abstract: 
 Urban resilience is one of the most debated concepts that confronts environmental, socioeconomic, and political uncertainty and risk. Decision-makers cannot deploy substantial principles of resilience in urban design practice unless they have a vivid operational definition. To form a clear definition for Resilient Urban Design (RUD) in practice, this research connects the approach of urban resilience and urban design principles. This framework includes extracted attributes from urban resilience criteria through morphological, perceptual, functional, social, economic, governance, and ecological urban design dimensions. Then, 10 academic experts in urban design and planning conducted stages of screening, validation, and analysis using the Delphi technique and Shannon method. Results reveal that criteria of Good Governance, Innovation, Diversity, Adaptive Design, Redundancy, Robustness, Social Learning, Connectivity, Legibility, Identity, and Social Capital are all incorporated in the formation of the concept of RUD. These elements imply a more profound basis to make decisions, affecting resilient built environments.

Title: Households’ willingness to pay for soil conservation on communal lands: application of the contingent valuation method in north eastern Ethiopia
Abstract: 
 Currently, soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental problems in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was initiated with the objective of examining the determinants of households’ willingness to pay (WTP) for soil conservation practice on communal lands and to estimate the aggregate welfare gain of the proposed conservation program in the study area. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select the target respondents. A double bounded contingent valuation survey with an open-ended follow-up question was conducted on 245 randomly selected rural households. A Bivariate probit model was used. The results show that factors such as the size of total livestock holding, perception, credit, extension contact and farm size near to communal land have a positive and statistically significant effect on households’ WTP, while dependency ratio, migration, and initial starting bid have a negative and significant effect. The aggregate benefit was estimated to be 2,262,386.83 labor days (135,743,209.8 Birr) per annum.

Title: A blueprint for a methodology to balance land-use in semi-natural areas
Abstract: 
 I investigated the effectiveness of a multi-criteria decision analysis process in integrating the study of community composition, aimed to allow sustainable use of semi-natural habitats. Weighted linear combination identified the suitability for recreational use and conservation potential of different sectors of the study area, obtained respectively from questionnaires and the examination of plant biodiversity. After assessing human impacts, I created a compromise scenario using a multi-objective land allocation method. I found a positive relationship between the most frequented areas and the presence of anthropogenic vegetation, but a negative relationship with biodiversity. My method effectively detected human presence hotspots and highlighted the most vulnerable areas. Therefore, multi-criteria decision analysis, used alongside plant ecology expertise, can successfully promote balanced land-use planning, especially in highly frequented regions with significant natural features.

Title: Implementation of SWOT analysis to evaluate conservation necessity and utilization of natural wealth: terrestrial orchids as a case study
Abstract: 
 Market interest in terrestrial orchids has risen significantly in the last decade. Their therapeutic potential and growing consumption has brought some species close to extinction. This study aimed to evaluate positive and negative, internal and external aspects of biodiversity and utilization of terrestrial orchids of the Fruška gora mountain (Serbia) using SWOT analysis, and thus determine their conservation necessity and market potential. The study included data obtained through field survey analyses, in vitro germination experiments, and species conservation priority and marketability ranking. Observed positive and negative influences serve as the major driving force for the introduction of terrestrial orchids into breeding programs. The species to be conserved were determined via conservation priority ranking. SWOT analysis is proposed as a transparent, practical, and compelling tool to evaluate conservation necessity, market, and utilization potential of terrestrial orchids and provides the basis for actions to be carried out by conservationists, authorities, and policymakers.

Title: Advances in sustainable integrated solid waste management systems: lessons learned over the decade 2007–2018
Abstract: 
 This paper undertakes a critical review of the solution approaches, methods and techniques applied to model municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems over the last decade (2007-2018). Sustainability and integration concepts are explored to evaluate the effectiveness of advanced models in achieving sustainable MSW management practices. Papers published are categorized into three main classes with respect to the methods applied to evaluate the operational efficiency and performance of IMSW systems. These include System Assessment (SA), Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Operation Research (OR) techniques. Each class is then analyzed by reviewing the key studies as the representatives of the class and potential improvements are suggested to achieve a sustainable Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) system.

Title: Predicting farms’ noncompliance with regulations on nitrate pollution
Abstract: 
 This paper demonstrates the use of “big data” to target behavioural interventions that aim to reduce environmental pollution. The data relate to ongoing noncompliance with the EU Nitrates Directive among farmers in Ireland. We compiled more than 1.2 million records from disparate administrative data, then employed multi-level statistical analysis to model regulatory breaches. The novel statistical associations generated shed light on possible reasons for noncompliance and allow us to predict violations more accurately than a regulatory rule of thumb previously used to target a behavioural ‘nudge’. By quantifying variation in likely rates of false positives and false negatives, the models can be used to improve the efficiency of the behavioural intervention. The work illustrates how big data can combine with behavioural interventions to support better environmental enforcement.

Title: Potential of floating photovoltaic plant in a tropical reservoir in Brazil
Abstract: 
 The increasing global demand for electricity has led to a significant increase in the search for low-impact alternative sources, with solar photovoltaic being identified as one of the most feasible options. However, photovoltaic power plants require large ground areas, which represent a major constraint. If the panels are installed on water bodies, this restriction may be avoided. In this work, a simulation was performed to assess the potential of floating photovoltaic power generation in the tropical Gavião reservoir, located in the Northeast of Brazil. A payback analysis indicated that the investment in construction of the system is fully recovered in eight years, and that water losses due to evaporation can be reduced by approximately 2.6 × 106 m³/year, sufficient to supply roughly 50,000 people.

Title: Modeling the trade-offs between urban development and ecological process based on landscape multi-functionality and regional ecological networks
Abstract: 
 The process of urbanization and urban land use conversion inevitably disturbs the structure and function of ecosystems and their capacity to provide ecosystem services. Integrating ecosystem services into effective policies and planning at the regional scale to achieve sustainable urban development is still a challenge. The goal of this research is to optimize spatial patterns of urban development by assessing and comparing multiple trade-off scenarios between ecological processes and urban expansion, incorporating planning and design into spatially explicit methods, and integrating ecosystem services into decision-making procedures. We develop a conceptual framework for regional urban-ecological sustainability with six steps: pattern recognition, landscape process, problem diagnosis, integrated ecological network, urbanization simulation, and decision-support. We apply this framework to a case in which planning and design have followed the rational-comprehensive approach. Results demonstrate that landscape multi-functionality and regional ecological networks are significantly improved using our integrated approach to planning and design, because it provides vital information for regional planning to cope with the urgent need for ecological protection and urban development. By comparing urban growth under three scenarios, we found that the trade-off scenario based on ecological conservation and restoration (medium security level) resolved conflict more effectively, which restricted urban expansion on land of high ecological importance by constructing regional ecological networks. In addition, using field survey and species distribution model approaches, we design plant community types with complementary tree, shrub, and herb species as part of the decision-making procedure, which can restore zonal vegetation and the hydrological cycle in rugged mountain regions. The research concludes that regional urban-ecological sustainability based on scientific assessment, planning, and design provides a rational basis for sustainable urban development and landscape management.

Title: Identifying barriers to implementing a sustainability assessment tool for road project planning: an institutional perspective from practitioners in Indonesia
Abstract: 
 There has been a growing interest in developing tools to assist decision-making in moving towards sustainable development, such as Sustainability Assessment (SA). It is argued here that more advanced and sophisticated tools are less useful than strengthening institutions when it comes to better engagement of stakeholders and more integrated decision-making. This paper aims at understanding barriers that impede the implementation of an SA tool for road project planning by examining how and when practitioners experience these barriers. From the empirical perspective of Indonesian road planning practitioners, the study reveals the five most influential barriers, including i) insufficient funding support, ii) limited skilled personnel that can use the tool, iii) unavailability of data and information, iv) unavailability of a specific arena for decision-making, and v) unavailability of detailed procedures/manuals. This research discusses strategies for successful implementation, particularly in a context that is less favourable to integrated decision-making, such as Indonesia.

Title: Too expensive to be worth it? A methodology to identify disproportionate costs of environmental measures as applied to the Middle Tagus River, Spain
Abstract: 
 The European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive (WFD) established in 2000 that EU Member States should achieve good status for all their water bodies by 2027 at the latest. The competent authorities are obliged to commit the necessary resources to achieve this goal. In water bodies where the costs are deemed disproportionate, the Directive foresees the definition of exemptions. Two decades after approval of the WFD, however, there is no common method across the EU to evaluate the disproportionality of costs and define the associated exemptions. We propose a methodology based on WFD indicators of water body status and economic variables that are common to all the EU countries. The method uses data that is already available in Eurostat and European Environment Agency databases, thus minimizing data collection costs. The method is applied to the Middle Tagus (Spain), where currently there are several water bodies with declared exemptions for disproportionate costs.

Title: Valuing the effect of land use change on landscape services on the urban–rural fringe
Abstract: 
 The urban–rural fringe is a dynamic environment where urban expansion limits the provision of landscape services. Economic valuation of these services is proposed to quantify the impact of urbanisation and inform planners of the potential losses that attribute to these land-use changes. However, most evaluation methods remain controversial regarding shortcomings in providing reliable results. This study applies market price, contingent valuation and value transfer methods and compares their performance in assessing the economic impact of land-use changes on the urban–rural fringe of the Amstelland (the Netherlands). Results with these applied methods differ greatly due to their respective advantages in revealing use values or non-use values of landscape services and dependence on land-use change. Thus, results are sensitive to value types, the scarcity of landscape services, scale of the study area, and involved stakeholders. This paper reflects on the strengths and weaknesses of these methods in different planning contexts.

Title: From non-place to place in post-suburbia: city-edge office parks as loci for nature-based micro-interventions
Abstract: 
 City-edge office parks are a significant, and under-researched, urban phenomenon. Indeed the transformation of these environments to better address social and environmental sustainability criteria has been described as ‘the big project for this century’. While top-down ‘retrofitting’ is the dominant approach to such transformation, in this paper we highlight the limitations of such an approach and argue for the potential of more bottom-up and creative methods. We report on experiments with office park employees to address the ‘placelessness’ of such environments, aimed at improving ecological sustainability and individuals’ health and wellbeing. We make three significant conclusions: a wealth of hidden ecological and social assets exist to be exploited in such environments; creative methods to envision more sustainable futures have a great deal of potential to break existing path dependencies; and, respecting participation constraints among employee-participants is vital for future research and action.

Title: The urban bioeconomy: extracting value from the ecological and biophysical
Abstract: 
 Cities have tended to be seen as net consumers of ecological goods and exporters of ecological bads. However, over recent years urban metabolism, circular economy and bioeconomy concepts have sought to rebalance this seemingly parasitical relationship by seeing the urban as an ecological resource to be exploited for profit. In this review paper, we investigate the ways in which the assets and metabolic flows of the city are being recharacterised as a source of value to be maintained, extracted, enhanced and exploited. Our approach is twofold. First, we examine areas of latent potential for urban bioeconomic exploitation and issues raised in terms of fair and just cities. Second, we examine issues, tensions and challenges in reimagining the city as a site of bioeconomic value. The paper makes a distinctive contribution to the literature by defining and critically analysing the new urban bioeconomy as a form of environmental value creation.

Title: Towards an analytical governance framework within the policy dimension in China: the evolution of national climate policies since 1978
Abstract: 
 Given the limitations of existing China’s climate governance studies, this research calls for more critical engagement with the broader contexts, clearer governance dimensions, and driving factors behind the evolution of climate policy within China. Drawing upon existing work, a policy-dimensioned framework is developed to study the evolution of Chinese governance and policy on climate change. A case study of the evolution of China’s national climate policy since 1978 is undertaken against this framework. The findings elaborate how China has applied various national policy tools since the 1990s to address climate change. Particular modes and forms build on, rather than completely replace, previous ones. A wide range of contextual and agential factors are related to this evolution. Experimentation has been a sustained theme for decades, while state political figures can be profoundly influential in policy development.

Title: Rural zones, parks, greenbelts, landscapes…? Assessing the shifting role and treatment of open spaces in metropolitan planning using the Barcelona experience (1953–2019)
Abstract: 
 Metropolitan planning is a fairly new practice that refers, amongst other topics, to open spaces. The objective of this research is to determine the changing role and treatment given to open spaces in successive metropolitan plans through an evolutionary analysis of Barcelona. The paper begins by providing the conceptual foundations of open space planning in metropolitan contexts and by briefly contextualising the study-area. The methodology is based on a guided analysis of 26 supra-municipal plans. In addition, other research methods are also used to obtain the results, consisting of the systematic overview of the analysed plans. The discussion examines the trajectory of the Barcelona case study with regard to international developments, showing that there is an overall consistency between them. The text concludes by recommending improvements for guaranteeing proper metropolitan open space planning, such as the need to go beyond zoning procedures and to take into account civil society and local political circumstances.

Title: Community participation in watershed management: analysis of the status and factors affecting community engagement in the upper Gibe basin, South West Ethiopia
Abstract: 
 A lack of appreciation of community participation is one of the factors constraining the sustainability of the watershed management program in Ethiopia. A household survey of 304 household heads, focus group discussions and key informant interviews were used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results of the overall community participation index value showed a moderate level of participation. There was variation in the level of participation by the community at different stages of watershed management. The results of logistic regression indicated that overall community participation was significantly affected by the frequency of extension contact, access to credit services, access to off/non-farm income sources and group membership. Thus, program planners should give due consideration to variations in the level of involvement by the community in different activities of watershed programs at different stages and the subsequent factors for future sustainable watershed development planning.

Title: Stakeholder perceptions of public good provision from agriculture and implications for governance mechanism design
Abstract: 
 Agriculture provides many public goods; however the costs and benefits of these are rarely well distributed. Maintaining public good provision often relies on external governance mechanisms, in turn reliant on the existing socio-ecological system. With two groups of stakeholders (practitioners and academics) we created cognitive maps of socio-ecological systems linking agriculture, public goods, and governance mechanisms in north-east Scotland. Fuzzy cognitive mapping was used to explore stakeholders’ perceptions and experiences, and to assess alternative governance options for the local socio-ecological context. We find agreement for perceptions of the system between stakeholders, but differences in each group’s focus. Models predicted little change in the provision of public goods from agriculture in relation to different governance mechanisms. We find that stakeholder participation can aid understanding of the impacts of proposed governance changes at the local level, improving comprehension of stakeholder perception of impacts and understanding of stakeholders’ reactions to particular governance mechanisms.

Title: How regulation on environmental information disclosure affects brownfield prices in China: a difference-in-differences (DID) analysis
Abstract: 
 Studies have shown that brownfields are often sold at a discounted price to compensate for anticipated clean-up costs and potential liability risk. However, such a hypothesis has not been tested in the Chinese context, largely due to a lack of information about land contamination and the absence of regulations regarding brownfields. Over the past decade, Chinese cities’ gradual introduction of redevelopment policies for former industrial sites has increased public awareness regarding land contamination. In Shanghai, the land market has responded to regulations on mandatory environmental information disclosure at land auctions. Using Shanghai land transaction data from 2007 to 2019, we examine the temporal response of land markets to environmental policy changes by employing several difference-in-differences regression models. The results show that brownfield parcels had been sold for prices 18% lower than greenfields, and that such discounts tend to become more significant after at least three years of policy implementation.

Title: Workshop processes to generate stakeholder consensus about post-mining land uses: an Australian case study
Abstract: 
 A major challenge in post-mining land use planning is identifying areas of consensus among engaged stakeholders about major concerns and suitable post-mining land use and land management. This paper takes as an example, the Bowen Basin, a major coal-mining region in Australia where several mines are approaching closure stages but consensus on post-mining land use in this region is yet to be established. This paper examines the use of workshop processes to generate consensus among different stakeholder interests about priority issues and acceptable post-mining land use(s) in this region. Four decision-making workshops about post-mining land use were used in this study. Results show that facilitated group workshop processes involving diverse stakeholders could lead to a broad consensus about key options for future land uses at an individual site level; and also lead to the identification of the factors relevant to land-use decisions to be considered for each case study. These findings guide mining companies and government regulators about why and how to involve local and regional stakeholders in post-mining land-use decisions, and the extent to which group processes can lead to convergence of diverse interests.

Title: Hybrid-maize seed certification and smallholder adoption in Zambia
Abstract: 
 During the 1990s, many Southern African governments liberalized their seed markets. This move initiated an influx of hybrid-maize seeds onto markets through greater involvement of private seed developers. Since then the number of varieties of hybrid seeds has grown considerably. Using an institutional analysis framework, we illustrate the complex system of actors and feedback that governs the seed certification process in Zambia. We also examine how smallholder hybrid-seed use has changed over the last decade. We find the Zambian seed certification system allows for frequent certification of new varieties each year without much scrutiny of seed use and performance by smallholders. Smallholders face a complex challenge in selecting seeds due to inconsistencies between the potential yields cited during the seed certification process and the yields reported by smallholders. This inconsistency jeopardizes the goal of food security sought after by both smallholders and policymakers.

Title: Green space ideas and practices in European cities
Abstract: 
 For almost two centuries, green spaces in European cities have been rethought and built based on the shifting ideas and practices about the role of nature in cities. Although there is a great diversity in the quantity and quality of green spaces in European cities today, the ideas and practices behind their creation and destruction are quite common across the continent. Starting in the mid-nineteenth century, European city leaders started bringing nature back into the city to counter the negative effects of industrialization. Later, modernist architects and planners began using scientific methods and populist ideas of nature in an attempt to create accessible healthy quality living for a rapidly expanding urban industrial workforce. Most recently, European cities are embracing sustainability, a sometimes contradictory effort to balance neoliberal commodification of nature with its scientifically legitimated quality of life benefits.

Title: Changing rice cropping patterns among farmers as a preventive policy to protect water resources
Abstract: 
 Due to population growth, agricultural expansion, and climate change, access to water as a basic and fundamental source has been compromised. Many solutions have been proposed and implemented to manage this crisis worldwide, focusing on reducing the demand for water resources, and consequently, protecting and conserving current water resources. Reducing cultivation crops with high water requirements, such as rice, is one of these initiatives. The purpose of this study was to investigate farmers’ willingness to adopt this preventive policy, and to determine the factors that influence their willingness. To this end, we used the health belief model (HBM) as one of the main theories focused on preventive behavior. Our interest group comprised farmers in the Shushtar district of Khuzestan, southwest Iran. The study sample consisted of 250 farmers, who were selected through multistage stratified random sampling. The results of structure equation modeling showed that the HBM predicted 28% of variance in farmers’ willingness to change their rice cultivation patterns. Structure equation modeling showed that perceived benefit predicted 63% of variance and cue to action predicted 20% of variance; however, other variables did not have significant effects on farmers’ willingness. These findings may be helpful for establishing public policy and extension recommendations that promote changes in rice cultivation systems among farmers.

Title: Prioritizing community environmental concerns with a hybrid approach to multi-criteria decision-making – a case study of Newport News, Virginia, USA
Abstract: 
 Local communities can play a very important role in evaluating their environmental conditions and in developing innovative, practical, and effective solutions to improve community environmental health. Thus, community involvement in decision-making is one of the keys to improving environmental and public health. However, such a process is unquestionably complicated and demands well-organized collaboration between local communities and authoritative partners, as well as suitable decision-aiding methods/tools that facilitate a multiple-step decision process, starting from the identification and prioritization of hazards, risks and concerns, to the development and ranking of potential solutions. We introduce a new multi-criteria decision-making method named BESTMAP (Bounding, Eliciting, and Sliding Technique for Multi-Criterion Analysis of Priorities). BESTMAP inherits the strengths of several popular MCDM models and retains their respective merits by tackling myriad concerns with a practical, yet rigorous, approach to derive preference. BESTMAP has been developed in a familiar (offline) web-browser interface to facilitate stakeholder use. Integrating practicality and methodological rigor, BESTMAP serves as an effective model for MCDM applications, especially those with a large number of criteria and alternatives in general, and for prioritizing concerns for community environmental health in particular, where the list of concerns is often numerous, unclear, and diverse between different stakeholders.

Title: Which factors influence farmers’ intentions to adopt giant panda conservation practices?
Abstract: 
 Socio-psychological factors can influence efforts to conserve biodiversity. Despite numerous studies focused on giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) conservation, the intentions of farmers with respect to these conservation practices have received little attention. This paper uses an expanded version of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as a framework to identify the socio-psychological factors that influence farmers’ intentions to adopt conservation practices. The TPB hypothesizes that intention is determined by three psychological constructs: attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Perceived resources and some socioeconomic issues are also considered in the expanded TPB framework. A structured survey of 506 farmers was conducted, with farmers categorized into groups who received and did not receive subsidy payments. A principle components analysis was applied to check the structure of the latent TPB constructs. We used a logistic model to identify the impact of perceived resources, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and other socioeconomic characteristics on farmers’ intentions to adopt conservation practices. Results show that the intentions of subsidized conservation participants were significantly influenced by perceived resources, behavioral control, attitude, and subjective norms. Non-subsidized conservation participants were significantly influenced by perceived resources, behavioral control, and subjective norms. Numerous socioeconomic factors were also significantly associated with intentions. To improve the adoption of sustainable conservation practices by farmers, attention should be paid to both psychological and socioeconomic issues that could improve the sustainability of A. melanoleuca conservation and the livelihoods of farmers in southwest China.

Title: Can a monopsony increase welfare in uncertain markets?
Abstract: 
 Demand uncertainty may be a significant barrier for firms entering a market. This study suggests that establishing a monopsony that absorbs demand uncertainty by its commitment to a long-term stable price may efficiently reduce uncertainty. An economic model examines the social welfare consequences of establishing such a monopsony in the waste recycling market in Israel. The results show that establishment of a monopsony in the waste recycling market could be efficient from a social welfare perspective, although this depends on the market’s uncertainty level. According to our analysis, profitability exists only when the level of uncertainty in the market is very high – in this case, 140% higher than in 2000–2004. Thus, it is efficient for a monopsony to operate only in situations of extreme market uncertainty.

Title: The role of local government in governance and diffusion of Mobility-as-a-Service: exploring the views of MaaS stakeholders in Stockholm
Abstract: 
 Cities around the world constitute an emerging market for Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). For local governments, MaaS may offer opportunities to reduce ownership and use of private cars for passenger transport, thereby easing pressures on urban space, the local environment and global climate. By drawing on literature related to socio-technical transitions and the diffusion of environmental innovations, this article analyses survey results of MaaS stakeholders in the City of Stockholm, where several initiatives to facilitate development of MaaS are underway. The results illustrate what stakeholders do and consider important, which kinds of barriers, opportunities and challenges are perceived, and what type of expectations stakeholders share about the role of the City administration in the development of MaaS in Stockholm. In sum, results indicate an important, yet delicate role for local governments in facilitating MaaS, whilst suggesting the need for regional or national regulatory solutions in the longer-term, to ensure legitimacy and transparency.

Title: Households from developing countries do not sort their solid waste: truth or myth?
Abstract: 
 By practicing solid waste source separation, some materials can be reused or recycled, thus achieving environmental, economic, and social benefits. Solid waste source separation reduces the emission of gases that cause global warming and climate change. Despite its benefits, previous studies have shown that it is a rare practice in households in developing countries. In this study, the behavior of households in Ecuador is analyzed regarding the separation of organic and inorganic waste. The importance of studying both the urban and rural population is highlighted, and it is found that glass is the least classified material in the country. Moreover, it is shown that the level of education and access to the Internet are determinants of household behavior when separating waste. However, this effect is greater in the rural population than in the urban one. Finally, public policies are recommended according to the results obtained.

Title: Farmers’ risk aversion, loss aversion and climate change adaptation strategies in Wushen Banner, China
Abstract: 
 This study examines the effects of farmers’ risk aversion and loss aversion on their climate change adaptation strategies. Farmers’ risk aversion and loss aversion were elicited using incentive-compatible risk experiments. Face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect information on their climate change adaptation strategies in Wushen Banner in China. The logistic regression analysis results indicated that farmers’ loss aversion is consistently and positively associated with choices across adaptation behaviors, indicating that more loss-averse farmers are more likely to improve irrigation, access to credit and increase rotation. The effects of farmers’ risk aversion on adaptation practices are mixed. Farmers’ risk aversion is negatively and significantly related to adaptation strategies on changing or increasing irrigation, but positively associated with crop diversification, accessing credit, increasing rotation and planting new crop varieties. Other socioeconomic factors, such as farmers’ educational attainment and household income, also have significant and positive effects on farmers’ adaptation practices.

Title: Unpacking the moderating role of age and gender in the belief–behaviour link: a study within the context of water resources pollution
Abstract: 
 In Ghana, water resources represent a symbol of cultural authority, spiritual strength and a major source of wealth and power. To preserve these resources, taboos and customary practices were instituted as precepts in precolonial Ghanaian societies to regulate access. However, recent studies claim that the proliferation of Western religions has significantly diminished the potency of these centuries-long belief systems, with a potential impact on the role of beliefs on behaviours. Applying conditional process modelling to survey data from four rural communities in Ghana, we explore whether some beliefs influence pro-environmental behaviours in relation to water resources pollution; and examine the potential factors that moderate this link. Results show that some belief factors predict pro-environmental behaviour. However, this link depends on gender and age. The present study thus advances our understanding of the complex ways in which beliefs interact with sociodemographic variables to influence the adoption of pro-environmental behaviours.

Title: Managing light pollution through dark sky areas: learning from the world’s first dark sky preserve
Abstract: 
 The designation of dark sky areas (DSAs) is an increasingly popular regulatory tool for mitigating light pollution in rural communities with tourism-based economies. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence available on how the DSA model functions in practice, including the opportunities, challenges and controversies that can arise. Focusing on the world’s first permanent DSA, the Torrance Barrens Dark Sky Preserve in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada, we examine the stakeholder dynamics involved in DSA establishment and management. Using key informant interviews and survey research, our case study analysis illustrates the nuances of regulating light, showing how various socio-political barriers to light pollution abatement were (or were not) overcome through sustained ‘dark sky activism’. The findings inform management strategies for reducing light pollution, while also providing practical information for environmental planners and managers of DSA communities. Future research needs are also identified.

Title: Modified landscapes: visitor’s perceptions of conservation in a natural reserve invaded by exotic conifers
Abstract: 
 Biological invasions are considered a major problem for nature conservation globally. Natural resource managers make immense efforts to control invasions. However, many management strategies depend on public support. In this study, we assessed how recreational users perceive the conservation level of a protected area where the native forest has been altered by the introduction of the fire-adapted Pinus radiata, wildfires and the resulting invasion. We also analyzed how users’ definition of exotic species related to their perceptions and support for management actions. We found that 75% of respondents perceived the area to be well conserved, although 76% provided the correct definition for exotic species. Local, overnight and exotic-species knowledgeable users perceived the area’s conservation level to be lower than their counterparts. Also, local and knowledgeable people reported more support for management strategies. We interpret that the public’s positive perception of a heavily invaded landscape can be linked to bio-cultural homogenization.

Title: Toward just energy transitions in authoritarian regimes: indirect participation and adaptive governance
Abstract: 
 Low-carbon energy transition is a response to the dual challenges of climate change and sustainable development. Recent years have seen the emergence of the discourse of just energy transitions, which position social justice at the centre of energy transitions. Authoritarian regimes, because of the established tradition of command-and-control policy making, are considered a critical arena for advancing a just transition globally. A case review of low-carbon energy transitions worldwide reveals an important and significant knowledge gap on justice issues in more authoritarian regimes. Two in-depth case studies in China show that, although social injustice seems to be inevitable for energy transitions in authoritarian regimes, adaptive transition governance mainly through indirect participation mechanisms offers a pathway toward just energy transitions. The study calls for more nuanced and longer-term perspectives of social injustices that emerge in the process of energy transitions in authoritarian regimes.

Title: No forest, no dispute: the rights-based approach to creating an enabling environment for participatory forest management based on a case from Madhupur Sal Forest, Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 This study explored whether and how the duty-bearer applied a rights-based approach (RBA) in the context of long-running disputes in Madhupur Sal Forest, Bangladesh to transform conflicts into solutions for collective management of forest resources. Using a case study design, we applied a timeline method and semi-structured in-depth interviews to collect data. The grounded theory approach was used to reconstruct the experiences of tribal forest dwellers, and identify the common themes of RBA. The study revealed that neglecting the rights of the forest dwellers led to ineffective policies and programs and, subsequently, to long-running conflicts. In order to sustain collaboration, it is necessary to integrate rights-based discussions with desired recognition, promises, instruction, and welfare provision, considering freedom, security, need for information, and delegating responsibilities. The study provides insights into how forest duty-bearers should consider the broader perspective of RBA in order to sustain their initiatives and achieve the conservation goal.

Title: GRI 300 as a measurement tool for the United Nations sustainable development goals: assessing the impact of car makers on sustainability
Abstract: 
 Research shows a gap in understanding management systems to demonstrate business contribution to sustainability. While businesses have struggled to incorporate sustainability into their strategies, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a useful framework towards new business models for sustainability. This article fuses information from the motor vehicle and parts industry’s environmental reporting and how these contribute to the SDGs. Results highlight the GRI 300 s as a useful measurement tool to operationalise the SDGs. We conclude that the industry is not isomorphic, highlighting three subgroups of companies with a large percentage not reporting on any of the standards with differences among companies and countries of origin. Energy and emissions are the standards most reported contributing to SDGs on energy, industry, cities, and climate, while the least reported are water and effluents, and biodiversity, highlighting challenges for the industry on their impacts on water, cities, and the marine and terrestrial species.

Title: Value-added involved in CO2 emissions embodied in global demand-supply chains
Abstract: 
 Embodied carbon emissions research is an important branch of climate change study. Some scholars have noted the value-added chains associated with the carbon emissions embodied in international trade. But they have not covered the global scale and the entire demand-supply chains. This paper tries to investigate this issue and answer how much value-added is gained by countries, especially developing regions that are the main carbon emissions suppliers in the world, and how this value-added changed during 2000–2014, based on the multi-regional input-output table. The conclusions are, on a global average, the value-added gained per unit of carbon emissions embodied in the global demand-supply chain had increased, but it had not brought net value-added to developing regions but instead caused them a net loss of wealth, mainly because developing regions should pay more value-added for their increasingly external demand.

Title: Enabling regional collaborative governance for sustainable recreation on public lands: the Verde Front
Abstract: 
 Collaborative governance approaches have been shown to build trust, reduce conflicts and be more responsive than traditional land management strategies because they incorporate diverse perspectives in the decision-making process. Traditional top-down land management often proves inadequate to address landscape-scale problems that cross jurisdictional borders and to produce sustainable outcomes for affected stakeholders. Collaborative governance is an alternative approach, which engages stakeholders – both civil society and public agencies – in a consensus-driven shared decision-making process. A neutral facilitator who clearly communicates the rules of engagement, participatory inclusiveness as well as opportunities to regularly interact face-to-face and generate small wins are among the key factors that have enabled success in previously studied small-scale collaborative governance arrangements. In this study, a collaborative governance effort within the Southwest United States provides insights into how collaborative outcomes can be achieved on public lands at a regional scale and the differences that makes as compared to past studies at smaller scales. This study used a participatory research approach to produce use-oriented research outcomes in tandem with transdisciplinary practitioners on the ground. Our examination provides a deeper understanding of the factors that enable successful collaborative outcomes to be achieved at a regional scale using a community-driven, transparent process.

Title: Collaboration mitigates barriers of utility ownership on policy adoption: evidence from the United States
Abstract: 
 Informed by literature on collaboration, policy adoption, and utility governance, this paper develops and empirically tests hypotheses addressing the implications of collaboration, utility ownership and city-level commitment to sustainability on city-level clean energy policy decisions. This paper offers an answer to the question, “to what extent does collaboration between utilities and local governments influence policy adoption.” We utilize cross-sectional data from the United States focused Integrated City Sustainability Database (ICSD) to perform an ordinary least squares regression analysis that investigates the degree that specific city attributes and state policy influence the creation of city-scale policy. This analysis shows that cities with a Publicly Owned Utility (POU) adopt close to two energy policies more than similar cities served by an IOU. Higher levels of collaboration among cities and with an Investor Owned Utility (IOU) can offset a portion of the adoption gap for community-oriented energy policy, but has little to no impact on governmental or renewable policies.

Title: Residents’ perceptions of green infrastructure in the contemporary residential context: a study of Kingswood, Kingston-upon-Hull, England
Abstract: 
 Recent developments in the conceptualisation of green infrastructure have used ecosystems services as a framework to understand its multi-functionality. A number of studies explore green infrastructure functions and services, both outside and within the field of planning and design, primarily from the perspective of professionals. The research reported here uses an ‘on-site’ and ‘sharp-narrative’ qualitative approach in a typical urban extension in Kingston upon Hull, England, to gain further insight into how residents perceive green infrastructure and which aspects of it they value. The findings indicate that they understand green infrastructure experientially rather than functionally, predominantly appreciating its cultural services. The article addresses a gap in our understanding of residents’ perceptions of green infrastructure and its benefits within contemporary, master planned, speculative housing development. This knowledge is important at a time of rapid urban development to inform the successful planning and design of green infrastructure in new residential neighbourhoods.

Title: Collaborative planning through dialogue models: situated practices, the pursuit of transferability and the role of leadership
Abstract: 
 Sweden is considered an environmental sustainability pioneer, targeting a 50% reduction in energy use in buildings by 2050. This ambitious goal requires the active engagement of municipal actors and the building sector. Dialogue processes have been identified as a way to mobilize such engagement, but in earlier research, there has been a lack of studies where dialogue practices are analyzed in real-time and on location and where the role of leadership has been scrutinized. Taking two cases in Malmö as a starting point, the aim of this paper is to analyze the interconnections between dialogue models and the local context and to examine how the role of process leadership affects exchanges between included actors. The results show that it is difficult to create guidelines useful in the local context and that learning was embedded in the doing and was transferred through the process leaders.

Title: Quantifying the role of technical progress towards China’s 2030 carbon intensity target
Abstract: 
 This paper constructs a dynamic computable general equilibrium (DCGE) model to investigate the macroeconomic effects of endogenous technical progress in achieving China’s 2030 carbon intensity reduction target of 60–65% compared with 2005. We show that a combination of a carbon tax and technological progress can achieve the carbon intensity target in 2030, but it will exert a negative impact on economic growth. This negative effect, however, can be relieved by endogenously directed technological progress in the long term. In doing so, industrial structure and energy structure are dynamically adjusted by inhibiting the output and employment of the coal and oil sectors but promoting that of the clean energy and the service industry. We also find that with technological progress, the unit carbon abatement cost in the long term is estimated to be 200–250 yuan/ton, much lower than that in the short term (over 367 yuan/ton). Several policy implications are discussed accordingly.

Title: Effects of climate shocks on Ethiopian rural households: an integrated livelihood vulnerability approach
Abstract: 
 The rural households engaged in the primary sector are vulnerable to climate shocks. The adaptation strategies are supposed to be locale specific, determined by biophysical and socio-economic factors and adoption is contingent on the results from vulnerability assessments. This study is an assessment of local level vulnerability of three heterogeneous groups of selected rural households in South Gondar zone in Ethiopia’s Amhara region. The study analyses the effects of climate change induced shocks on livelihoods using the LVI-IPCC framework along with an econometric technique to determine factors responsible for variations across households. The study corroborates earlier results that rural households are adversely impacted by climate shocks. The poor non-off-farm diversified rural households are highly vulnerable in comparison to those households adopting an off-farm diversification strategy. Irrigation, improvements in access to water, health and other rural infrastructure are also factors reducing vulnerability.

Title: Sustainability materiality matrices in doubt: may prioritizations of aspects overestimate environmental performance?
Abstract: 
 This study builds on the research gap that arises from the consistency analysis of the GRI-materiality approach with other prioritization approaches. The main objective is to explore to what extent corporate environmental performance is consistent using two different prioritization approaches. This study employs a novel quantitative approach to assess environmental performance through the prioritization of environmental aspects by using companies’ materiality analysis and independent expert knowledge. The empirical analysis focuses on the environmental performance analysis of wearing apparel companies. The main findings reveal that companies with better environmental performance could be using materiality analysis to further embellish the positive performance or for greenwashing purposes. This study could serve as a starting point to improve understanding of how companies could identify, from an objective and comparable basis, those environmental aspects that are essential to their business strategy and that are necessary to help stakeholders to make fully informed decisions.

Title: Agricultural crop residue burning and its environmental impacts and potential causes – case of northwest India
Abstract: 
 This study aims to examine the adverse environmental impact and potential causes of the dubious agricultural practice of agricultural crop residue (ACR) burning which prevails in the northwest region of India. It also evaluates the alternatives for sustainable management of ACR and investigates the associated policy as well as functional challenges against the widespread adoption of these alternatives. To achieve the research purpose, a field study was conducted at the Panipat district of Haryana. As a part of this three-month-long field study, the outlook of state and local administration responsible for regulating ACR burning practices was obtained through semi-structured interviews. Additionally, farmers’ viewpoints were gathered through focus group interviews. The estimates of atmospheric emissions from ACR burning in Panipat were calculated using the United Nation (UN)’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines. Strategies for mitigating the environmental impact of ACR burning are recommended.

 Flood is a typical natural disaster, which results in huge economic damage and human loss; therefore, accurately predicting flood-prone areas is important for preventing and mitigating the impacts of floods. The main objective of this study is to present new ensemble models, which are based on Index of Entropy (IOE), Fuzzy Membership Value (FMV), Frequency Ratio (FR), and Information Value (IV) for assessing flood susceptibility. For this purpose, data from a total of 78 flood events were taken into account as basic data for the training model and validation of results. Location and spatial characteristics of these historical flood events were used to identify the relevant criteria for flood susceptibility modeling (FSM) and in acquiring the contribution of each criterion in susceptibility of the region toward flood. The FMV-IOE, FR-IOE, and IV-IOE models were used to distinguish between presence and absence of flood and its mapping. These models were also employed to perform feature selection in order to reveal the variables, which may contribute for flood occurrence extensively. Finally, for the validation of results, the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUROC) was computed for each flood susceptibility map. The validation of results indicated that AUROC for three mentioned models varies from 0.963 to 0.969 (AUROC FMV-IOE = 96.9%, AUROC FR-IOE = 96.8%, and AUROC IV-IOE = 96.3%). Results acknowledged that the main drivers of flood occurrence were soil, land use, and SPI factors. The results of this research are of great importance for the task of mitigation and in reduction of the impacts of future losses, including land-use planning for the region under study. Current research makes a significant contribution to developing GISciences by means of proposing a new approach for GIS-based decision makings systems. From the methodological perspective, the results of this research are of great importance in analyzing the capability of hybrid intelligence techniques and their integration with fuzzy and GIS decision-making systems.HighlightsWe have developed three novel hybrid methods for flood modeling.Soil, land use, and distance to river were the effective factors.FMV-IOE model shows a better result in flood prediction.Using the results of this study, prevention measures can be taken in advance of a flood.

Title: Impact of upstream plant level pollution on downstream water quality: evidence from the clean water act
Abstract: 
 This is the first study to find empirical evidence that pollutant inputs from major point sources worsen downstream water quality, net of upstream pollution levels, and controlling for location-specific factors. We utilize panel data on monthly biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) concentration for a sample of 87 municipal and industrial plants located in the states of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, for the period 1990-2003. Monthly dissolved oxygen (DO) from 67 locations is the measure of water quality. We find that an increase in aggregate BOD (for multiple plants) results in downstream net of upstream DO to decline by 0.001 mg/l. Despite the small magnitude (due to natural attenuation), the results are robust to distance traveled by pollutant and seasonal considerations of high temperature or low stream flow. We infer that point sources have a significant negative impact on ambient water quality net of non-point sources of pollution at upstream locations.

Title: Toward tackling urban water scarcity: linking risk, vulnerability adaptive capacity and adaptation at household level
Abstract: 
 This study examined vulnerability and adaptation to water scarcity in three towns located within three rainfall zones of Katsina state, Nigeria, using a questionnaire survey of 360 households, which was complimented with FGD and field-based observations, and use of vulnerability assessment indices. The results showed that the households are generally experiencing high vulnerability to water scarcity. The vulnerability is increasing from the south to the northern rainfall zones of the state. The households employ multiple strategies in adapting to water scarcity. The strategies employed, however, vary clearly among the households and between the three rainfall zones. Demand-side adaptation strategies are the ones being employed most, with fewer households employing supply-side management strategies. The key factors limiting adaptation to water scarcity in the areas were technological, social, economic and political/institutional in nature. Suggestions were made toward evolving an integrated approach for improved water scarcity adaptation in the area.

Title: Governing urban sustainability transitions: urban planning regime and modes of governance
Abstract: 
 There is an increasing need for urban sustainability transitions, though empirical cases that focus on the governance of these processes over time are not plentiful. This study addresses that gap by examining the governance of an urban transition in an eco-neighbourhood in Helsinki, using the framework of a multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions and modes of governance. This study shows how the modes of governance have changed from the start of the planning in 1994–2018 and how the different dimensions of the urban planning regime have enabled or constrained a sustainability transition, based on a document analysis and semi-structured expert interviews. As for the modes of governance, hierarchical and network were most widely used. The plot assignment stipulations that contained sustainability requirements, as well as the collaborative area working group method, have been scaled up city-wide since. This study concludes that more process-focussed policy instruments are needed.

Title: Sectoral CO2 emissions in China: asymmetric and time-varying analysis
Abstract: 
 Today, China is the second-largest, fastest-growing economy in the world. This study analyzes asymmetric and time-varying impact of world energy prices (including world energy prices index, world coal prices, world crude oil prices and world natural gas prices) on China’s CO2 emissions. We used a non-linear ARDL (NARDL) model and wavelet analysis using monthly data from 1992 to 2017. The results based on the NARDL estimate show that world energy prices have an asymmetric impact on CO2 emissions. However, the results of wavelet pairwise correlation and wavelet-transform coherence suggest that the relationship between world energy prices and CO2 emissions differs over time and across sectors (i.e. short-term, medium-term, long-term and very long-term). Evidence suggests that ignoring fundamental non-linearities can lead to misleading outcomes. Such empirical results are expected to have a high importance for the efficient design and implementation of world energy prices and Chinese environmental policies.

Title: Designing and implementing procurement requirements for carbon reduction in infrastructure construction – international overview and experiences
Abstract: 
 Carbon emissions emanating from infrastructure construction are substantial, and public infrastructure clients have begun to include carbon reduction goals in their procurement requirements. This is a new and complex field where practices vary and are still developing. Based on project documentation and interviews we map and analyze the design and implementation of carbon reduction requirements in projects by leading infrastructure clients in Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden, the US and the UK. Procurement requirements were influenced by concerns for tender competition, transaction costs and innovation, and further adapted to project delivery models, market maturity and client capabilities. Increasing awareness of practical and contextual constraints often led to modified strategies. This paper identifies factors that should be considered when designing carbon policies and requirements. This knowledge is important for clients and governments in order to develop more effective strategies for learning between contexts. Policies and future research should address client capabilities to drive long-term innovation.

Title: Early adopters, firm survival, and environmental policy: dry cleaners in the South Coast Basin of California
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the relationship between the early adoption of new technologies, the probability of firm survival, and environmental regulations through a case study of dry cleaners in the South Coast Basin of California (SC Basin). Most dry cleaners use machines that use the toxic chemical perchloroethylene (PERC) to clean garments. PERC vapors are emitted into the ambient air during the dry cleaning process and can cause cancer in people who live and work nearby. In 2002, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) required all dry cleaners in the region to purchase a costly alternative machine that used a non-toxic cleaning solvent by the year 2020. Using bivariate and multivariate analysis, we found that the timing of the early adoption of non-PERC machines among dry cleaners was optimal, ceteris paribus, and adopting early did not have a negative effect on the probability of surviving.

Title: Government-industry dynamics in the development of offshore waste management in Norway: from prescriptive to risk-based regulation
Abstract: 
 Petroleum activities are associated with high risks. In the 1980s, concerns arose about the environmental impacts of ‘normal’ petroleum activity. Regular operations go hand-in-hand with emissions to air and discharges to sea. Both have been subject to extensive regulation since the 1990s. This paper analyzes the design and implementation of the Norwegian system that regulates operational discharges to the marine environment. It analyzes the changing relationships among science, politics and the industry and describes how the turn from a prescriptive to a predominantly performance-based approach was fundamental in making progress toward less polluting practices. The article describes how risk regulation was institutionalized and highlights the benefits of involving the industry in the pursuit of environmental protection. It also cautions against a lax attitude toward control and oversight, as complexification of risk objects and the increase of institutional risks can lead to mismatches in risk management.

Title: Gender mainstreaming urban waste reduction in European cities
Abstract: 
 This paper contributes to gender mainstreaming and waste management literatures, which largely neglect the empirical dimensions of gender mainstreaming in environmental practices, and have a complete lacuna in waste management. Informed by an ecofeminist approach which argues that gender equality is necessary to achieve environmental sustainability, the paper, and its underpinning research, utilizes feminist and participatory methodologies for implementing gender mainstreaming in waste reduction innovations. This enables the links between greater gender awareness and more environmentally sustainable waste management practice to be explored, and the opportunities for, and obstacles to, adopting gender mainstreaming in waste management to be assessed. The largely qualitative data, drawn from surveys, focus groups and evaluations in eleven European cities, suggest that while developing gender awareness in waste reduction is complex, with many factors contributing to its adoption, a link between waste reduction initiatives achieving CO2 equivalent savings and greater gender awareness can be observed.

Title: Spatial analysis of designated outdoor smoking areas: accessibility and land use
Abstract: 
 Smoking is the leading cause of premature death in Canada. Smoking also pollutes air and generates litter such as cigarette butts. The use of designated smoking areas (DSAs) is increasingly popular on university campuses and has the potential to influence smoking prevalence. It is however found that the related regulations and policies are largely unknown. This study systematically examines the spatial distribution of DSAs at 12 Canadian campuses using ArcGIS Pro, and predicts the required number of DSAs using regression analysis based on a number of climatic, and socio-economic factors identified by cluster analysis. The density of DSAs ranged from 0.119 to 0.739 DSA/104 m2, with an average of 0.354 DSA/104 m2. Results from the regression models suggested that climatic factors are important to the number of DSAs. The proposed spatial analytical approach is also applicable to the design and planning of other major health institutions or residential complexes.

Title: Intelligent decision-support system to plan, manage and optimize water quality monitoring programs: design of a conceptual framework
Abstract: 
 This paper presents the conceptual framework of a holistic, intelligent decision-support system (IDSS) to plan, manage and optimize water quality monitoring programs (WQMPs) for surface waters. WQMPs are a crucial component of water management because information on water quality is essential when taking action such as legislative compliance, environmental projects, urban and infrastructure development. Planning, managing and optimizing WQMPs is a complex process and requires multiple variables, rules and subject matter expert knowledge. The specific goals of this paper were to (1) assess to what extent the subject domain (WQMPs) is deemed appropriate for an IDSS; (2) describe the design process of the conceptual framework; (3) present the main elements of the system architecture; (4) present two case studies that served as potential end users; (5) illustrate the applicability of the IDSS and (6) describe subsequent steps to further test the IDSS. The IDSS was developed on the premise that the proposed system could (1) improve quality, (2) capture undocumented expertise that is perishable or in short supply (tacit knowledge), (3) provide accessible expertise to novice users, (4) have a training effect on users, and (5) show that the system, even partially complete, could still be useful. Our initial assumptions regarding these points were validated through interviews with subject matter experts. The conceptual framework was designed based on a literature review, interviews with 44 subject matter experts from Europe, Canada and the United States, interaction with end users from two case studies in the Province of Quebec, Canada, and five information technology experts from Canada and Germany. The IDSS presented in this paper will facilitate the planning, management and optimization of WQMPs. It will be exportable to various watersheds and consider the WQMP planner’s need to update the network rapidly if changes occur in human, financial and technical resources.HIGHLIGHTSHolistic and adaptable decision-support system to plan, manage and optimize surface water quality monitoring programsManagement and decision support system for knowledge acquisition processes on water qualitySystem integrates tacit and explicit knowledge on water quality monitoring challengesManagement and decision support system based on tacit knowledge from 44 experts and two case studiesAdapted design methodology for an Intelligent decision-support system

Title: A methodology to assess the future connectivity of protected areas by combining climatic representativeness and land-cover change simulations: the case of the Guadarrama National Park (Madrid, Spain)
Abstract: 
 Protected areas are fundamental in conservation, but their intactness is increasingly threatened by the effects of climate and land-cover changes. Here, a methodological procedure is proposed able to determine the representative climatic conditions of a protected area in central Spain (Guadarrama National Park) pinpointing the natural areas that will host future analogous conditions, but also assessing the effects of land-cover changes on the connectivity of these areas. Future conditions provided by two 2050 IPCC climatic change scenarios and land-cover change simulations were jointly used for this purpose. According to the results obtained, climate change will produce notable effects, displacing its representative climatic conditions as well as modifying the land cover in the neighboring localities. Three areas appear as fundamental for the future maintenance of this reserve: two within the Iberian Central System (Gredos Mountains and Ayllón Mountains) and one in the Iberian System (Urbión Mountains). The proposed approach can be implemented in any protected area to examine its capacity to represent in the future the environmental conditions for which it was created.

Title: Residents’ willingness to pay for the elimination of Ulva prolifera bloom: a case study in Qingdao, China
Abstract: 
 Ulva (U.) prolifera bloom is a severe marine environmental problem in China. This work provides an economic assessment of the damage caused by the U. prolifera bloom from a cost-benefit perspective. The contingent valuation method is applied to elicit residents’ preference for the management of U. prolifera bloom. The results show that the respondents are willing to pay 54.98 CNY per year, on average. Additionally, this paper relates the concept of risk perception, media use, and the theory of planned behavior constructs to understand their impacts on residents’ preferences. The results indicate that attitude is the major factor in predicting willingness to pay, followed by media use. Furthermore, the new relationships between risk perception, media use, and the theory of planned behavior constructs are examined. The results reveal that attitude is affected remarkably by risk perception, and that media use has remarkable influence on risk perception and subjective norms.

Title: Urban expansion into native forests in Patagonia, Argentina: assessing stakeholders’ perceptions regarding spatial planning
Abstract: 
 Argentina’s Native Forests Protection Act No. 26,331 (NFPA) enforces the use of spatial planning to regulate land use in native forests. However, guidelines regarding the spatial planning of native forests in urban and wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas are lacking. Taking the city of Ushuaia as a case study, we used a mixed-methods approach (online survey, individual interviews, and focus groups) to assess stakeholders’ perceptions regarding native forest land use planning in urban and WUI areas. Results revealed that regulations addressing native forest land use in urban and WUI areas are lacking but considered important. Communication between stakeholders, public participatory processes, and current forest zoning criteria were identified as challenging aspects of native forest policy. Among the strategies to address these challenges, stakeholders emphasized developing: new opportunities for stakeholder communication, mechanisms for community engagement, specific guidelines for native forest land use planning in urban and WUI areas, and dissemination and education.

Title: Purchase intention toward organic food among young consumers using theory of planned behavior: role of environmental concerns and environmental awareness
Abstract: 
 This study aims to propose an extended model of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) which helps us to investigate young Chinese consumers from college and university, and who are aged 18 to 30 years, on purchase intention for organic food. Using a sample of 515, analyses were done using structural equation modeling. The findings indicated that attitude (A), subjective norms (SNs), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) have positive effects on the purchase intention of young consumers for organic food. Moreover, attitude has a positive effect on environmental concerns (EC). Furthermore, EC has a positive effect on young consumers’ purchase intentions for organic food. Findings indicated that EC positively mediates the association between attitude and young consumers’ purchase intentions for organic food. More importantly, the relationship between all latent variables (A, SNs, PBC) and purchase intention by young consumers is positively moderated by environmental awareness.

Title: Reconciling road verge management with grassland conservation is met with positive attitudes among stakeholders, but faces implementation barriers related to resources and valuation
Abstract: 
 Road verges could provide habitats for threatened grassland species, but current verge management is suboptimal for achieving this. Altering verge management to favor grassland species is possible but depends on stakeholder attitudes and valuation. We describe the attitudes of 373 Finnish road verge stakeholders toward grassland-friendly verge management and investigate the drivers underlying these attitudes. We also assess the perceived feasibility of different grassland-friendly management alterations and identify barriers facing their implementation. Gathered with online questionnaires, the data for the study comprises open-ended and Likert scale questions and was analyzed with multivariate methods and linear mixed models. According to the results, valued verge attributes, such as perceived species-richness and safety, and personal familiarity with biodiversity and semi-natural grasslands structure stakeholder attitudes toward grassland-friendly management. Specific management alterations, such as readjusted mowing schedules, are viewed with varying positivity, but insufficient resources and compromised traffic safety are perceived to hinder their implementation.

Title: A property rights framework for analyzing management options for wildlife: a case study of chronic wasting disease in Canada
Abstract: 
 Although property rights have been used to understand numerous wildlife issues, such as extinctions, they have rarely been used to provide insights into specific management options. We present analytical frameworks that may be used to characterize property rights to wildlife for the purpose of understanding the implications of management actions for various stakeholders. The frameworks consider multiple types of values, including consumptive, non-consumptive, and passive-use values. Our case study involves the emergence of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and its potential influence on the rights of stakeholders (i.e. the general public and hunters) in Alberta, Canada. Populating the framework for each stakeholder with characteristics of current property rights allow us to identify: 1) how the emergence of CWD could influence stakeholders’ current rights, 2) how management actions could change property rights and associated incentives; and 3) management options that have not been considered.

Title: Behind the scenes of planning for public participation: planning for air-quality monitoring with low-cost sensors
Abstract: 
 We report from an environmental monitoring project planning for public participation to evaluate low-cost air pollution sensors. With an ethnographic approach, we studied how challenges were expressed and negotiated in discussions among project members when planning to involve the public in monitoring with low-cost sensors. Data was collected through participant observation of project meetings. Our analysis shows that perceived challenges involve data quality (i.e. reliability and validity), support, creating a sense of ownership and trust, as well as how to handle a possible rearrangement of power between authorities and the public. In order for the project to have control over different parts of the process when planning for public participation, they cannot stay true to all of the goals. This study contributes to the understanding of factors that foster the use of community-based data, and on the barriers for engaging the public in policy issues.

Title: Plans for urban green infrastructure in Scandinavia
Abstract: 
 Scandinavian countries are often mentioned as forerunners in sustainable urban development; here, green infrastructure (GI) planning has played an important role. However, little is known about the status of GI planning at a municipal level—this paper aims to provide such knowledge. In an analysis of GI plans or municipal master plans from 24 municipalities in Scandinavia, we explored the scope of the plans, the focus of the goals/strategies, the terminology, and the measures for access to green spaces. The results show that all the municipalities had strategies for GI, but only 60% had a GI plan or a similar “greenspace” document. Social values were the main focus of the plans, particularly recreation and access. GI was a concept more commonly used in practice compared with ecosystem services. The findings confirm a common Scandinavian approach to urban GI planning, which provides a relevant general frame for future globally strategic GI planning.

Title: Toward sustainable electricity consumption in Brazil: the role of economic growth, globalization and ecological footprint using a nonlinear ARDL approach
Abstract: 
 This study investigates nonlinear effects of economic growth, globalization and ecological footprint on sustainable electricity consumption in Brazil using monthly time-series data from 1971M:01 to 2014M:12 and a nonlinear ARDL model. The results show that the effects of economic growth, globalization and ecological footprint on electricity consumption are asymmetric. A positive shock to economic growth increases electricity consumption more than a negative shock of the same magnitude causes electricity consumption to decline. In the case of globalization, the effect of a negative shock is stronger. Furthermore, the long-term effects of positive and negative shocks to the ecological footprint are negative but statistically significant only in the case of a positive shock while in the short term, the increasing effect of a positive shock to the ecological footprint is stronger than the reducing effect of a negative shock of the same magnitude. These findings are validated when globalization is disaggregated to economic, political and social dimensions.

Title: The influence of land titling on the disparity between willingness to accept and willingness to pay values
Abstract: 
 Land titling, which aims to promote the transfer of farmland in China by providing property rights to landowners, may not be working as intended due to the presence of an endowment effect. The implications of the endowment effect are that it creates a substantial disparity between the willingness to accept (WTA) and willingness to pay (WTP) values for agricultural land parcels. An inflated WTA/WTP value hinders farmland transfer to those who have the comparative advantage in farmland management. We develop a conceptual model to understand the factors influencing the disparity between landowners’ WTA/WTP values. The empirical model uses an IV-Tobit model on a dataset collected from a nationwide interview survey of Chinese peasant households in 2015–2016. Results show that land titling further increases the disparity between WTA and WTP after the endogeneity issue is resolved. The expectation of the Chinese government that land titling could promote land transfer may not be accurate if the psychological effect of landholding exerts dominance in the land market.

Title: Strategic environmental assessment of urban plans in New Zealand: current practice and future directions
Abstract: 
 This paper aims to understand the practice of SEA in the urban development sector in New Zealand. In New Zealand, SEA has been practiced over the last two decades under the Resource Management Act (RMA) of 1991. Given this legal context, the SEA process of a major urban plan was evaluated against a set of procedural criteria. The results indicate that the SEA has, in general, fulfilled key procedural requirements, albeit with a few shortcomings. The shortcomings include absence of cumulative impacts, inadequate baseline information, inadequate mitigation and monitoring. The possible causes of the shortcomings are explained. This study also explored some key features of SEA practice in New Zealand that may influence SEA practice. Finally, recommendations are made for improvement of SEA practice in New Zealand with future directions. The findings of this study can be useful to SEA for urban planning in New Zealand.

Title: Do urban carbon reduction practices under China’s institutional arrangement go beyond “low-hanging fruits”? Empirical evidence from Guangzhou
Abstract: 
 There has been increasing interest in whether low carbon cities developed under Chinese institutional arrangements can facilitate a transformative change. Unlike their western counterparts, Chinese low carbon cities are mainly developed through a top-down approach characterized by strong regulatory influences and centrally-led pilots. Inspired by insights from institutional theory, this paper assessed the progress that has been made in Chinese low carbon cities through understanding urban actors’ willingness and capacity to pursue more radical changes. Based on semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis, it is found that due to the low recognition of the intrinsic value of carbon reduction, low carbon transition was largely represented as a practical discussion around national binding targets and local economic development. Following this, it is suggested that any attempt to speed up urban low carbon transition should consider strengthening incentive structures for cultural or paradigm change.

Title: The role of tourism, and natural resources in the energy-pollution-growth nexus: an analysis of belt and road initiative countries
Abstract: 
 The current study brings natural resources, and tourism into the energy-growth, and environment nexus using the STIRPAT model for 88 BRI countries over 1995–2015. Considering the endogeneity, cross-sectional dependence, and slope homogeneity, this study employed dynamic GMM and D&K estimators for three distinct structural equations. For the CO2 equation, the empirical outcomes supported the EKC, energy lead emission, natural resource-based CO2 emissions, and tourism-led CO2 emissions, and on the other hand, renewable energy helps to curb environmental degradation. For the GDP equation, the role of energy, CO2 emissions, tourism development, and renewable energy is positive and contributes significantly to economic growth. The impact of natural resources is negative and significant, thus postulating the “resource curse phenomenon” in BRI countries. For the energy equation, CO2, GDP, and natural resources are escalating energy consumption; while, renewable energy is negatively affecting energy, which indicates that growth in renewable energy tends to discourage the consumption of fossil fuel-based energy in the BRI countries.

Title: Impact of drought on economy: a district level analysis of Madhya Pradesh, India
Abstract: 
 This study examines the consequences of droughts on the aggregate economic growth and the growth of agriculture, industry and service sectors respectively. The benefits of financial relief post-drought and the efficacy of irrigation infrastructure is also statistically tested considering a sample of 45 districts in one of the largest states in India, Madhya Pradesh. A two-step GMM procedure is applied to balanced panel data for the period 2005 to 2012. Districts in the state face recurrent droughts, limited irrigation, and rainfall variability increases vulnerability to drought risks. Results show that drought adversely impacts on the growth rate of the agricultural sector and the aggregate economy. Post-drought financial relief has a positive and significant impact on the growth rate of the industrial sector and economic growth at the district level. The study contributes to the growing literature on disaster impact on growth by focusing on district-level assessment.

Title: Do city dwellers care about peri-urban land use? The case of environment-friendly agriculture around Milan
Abstract: 
 Undeveloped land adjacent to urban areas has a strong potential to generate high amenity values to urban dwellers via the adoption of environment-friendly agricultural practices. Yet, there is a lack of specific policy measures tailored to unlock such potential and a scant knowledge of the preferences of the main beneficiaries. Analysis of data from a Choice Experiment in the municipality of Milan based on current policy deliverables shows that a large share of the urban population is willing to pay for specific ecological benefits linked to agricultural practices. Organic farming and land strips sown with wildflowers are the two practices whose ecological benefits are found most desirable. Willingness to pay for a policy intervention is shown to significantly correlate with income class, with low income recipients being more interested in organic farming while those with middle or high income deriving higher benefits from planting fast-growing trees.

Title: E-waste legislation in the US: An analysis of the disparate design and resulting influence on collection rates across States
Abstract: 
 Electronic waste management in the US has been characterized as ‘inconsistent’, ‘disparate’, and a ‘patchwork’. While there is currently no federal leadership on the regulation of e-waste, 25 states have some form of legislation aimed at promoting e-waste recycling and/or prohibiting disposal in landfills and incinerators. But each state legislation differs from the next. We dive into these differences to unveil the complex nature of e-waste legislation in the US. Additionally, we analyze collection trends from each of the 25 legislated states. Many of these operated e-waste recycling programs prior to the implementation of state legislation, and thus we assess collection trends prior to and following legislation implementation. Our findings expose key challenges regarding the metrics used to evaluate state e-waste recycling programs as well as (re)igniting the debate on whether the states or federal government are best suited to manage e-waste in the US.

Title: Environmental performance evaluation of enterprises using internal resource loss and external environmental damage costs
Abstract: 
 Environmental performance evaluation is an essential part of environmental management—however, current methods of environmental performance overlook efficiencies in individual operational processes. Environmental pollutant waste not only causes internal resource loss but also leads to external environmental damage through emissions and generation of other byproducts, and these dual factors are critical in environmental performance evaluation. This paper develops an “Internal Loss-External Damage” (ILED) environmental performance evaluation method. This two-dimensional method is applied to a coal-fired plant's environmental performance evaluation to demonstrate that the ILED method can identify key environmental pollution impact factors and quantify internal resource loss costs and environmental damage costs. Results show that combustion is a priority process for cost reduction efforts. This assessment will be helpful for enterprises seeking to improve environmental management effectiveness and reduce environmental pollution risk. Also, this performance evaluation provides a new perspective on environmental management and enriches the theoretical framework for environmental management.

Title: Non-carbon benefits as incentives for participation in REDD + and the role of village participatory land use plans in supporting this: insights from Kilosa District, Tanzania
Abstract: 
 This study assessed community perceptions on Non-Carbon Benefits (NCBs) as incentives for participation in Reduced Emission from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) and the role of Village Participatory Land-Use Plans (VPLUPs) in supporting this in Kilosa district of Tanzania. A mixed-method research design was used in the data collection. Results indicated that the majority (95%) of the respondents thought that VPLUPs had facilitated REDD+ implementation. The results also demonstrated that the REDD+ initiative remains an important source of NCBs. While the respondents believed NCBs were available and important to them, its future availability was somewhat of a concern. The respondents further indicated that the best way to improve VPLUPs (and consequently enhance the REDD+ related activities) and maintain the flow of NCBs, was to improve the knowledge of VPLUPs. NCBs should be considered in the planning, design and implementation of REDD+, especially considering that carbon markets remain questionable and unreliable.

Title: Green consumption: consumer behavior after an environmental tragedy
Abstract: 
 The aim of this study was to identify whether there is a difference in the environmentally‐conscious consumer behavior (ECCB) of a region directly impacted by an environmental tragedy, as compared to the ECCB of non-impacted regions. We empirically tested the main argument of the protection motivation theory, through the design of a structural model, based on the literature, that was estimated with cross-sectional data, which allowed us to distinguish the effects of both green behavior and perceived consumer effectiveness on the ECCB from both regions. Our model also considers the antecedents of both green behavior and perceived consumer effectiveness, thereby attempting to accurately model the complex process of forming the ECCB in a context of environmental tragedy. Using a sample of 420 individuals from an impacted region, and 394 individuals from non-impacted regions, results show that perceived consumer effectiveness affects the ECCB only in the impacted region. In this region, perceived consumer effectiveness is strongly influenced by ecological attitudes compared to environmental concern and external motivators. Conversely, green behavior affects the ECCB more in the non-impacted regions. Our evidence suggests that, after experiencing an environmental tragedy, consumers began to reflect on the effects of their consumption, which in turn influenced the ECCB. However, the effect of their green actions on their consumption behavior seems to decrease in the impacted region relative to the non-impacted regions.

Title: Alternative perspectives of the angling community on Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) reintroduction in the River Otter Beaver Trial
Abstract: 
 Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) reintroduction is taking place in England with potential benefits for flood alleviation and biodiversity; however there is also opposition. One area of controversy relates to fish and fishing. A previous meta-analysis of research into beaver-fish relationships found perceived benefits of beavers amongst fish and beaver “experts” included increased fish abundance and productivity, whilst perceived negatives included impeded fish passage and reduced spawning habitat availability. We further this understanding using Q-Methodology (a social science technique) to reveal three nuanced and contrasting perspectives that exist amongst the angling community in the catchment of a trial reintroduction. Due to a conflict potential between groups, we suggest management themes to help reduce this where reintroduction occurs: open, cross-sectoral dialogue about research into beaver-fish relationships and management; a management strategy which supports ecosystem benefits whilst providing a sense of empowerment for individuals to respond to negative impacts.

Title: Do industrial pollution activities in China respond to ecological fiscal transfers? Evidence from payments to national key ecological function zones
Abstract: 
 The policy of payments to National Key Ecological Function Zones (NKEFZs), a type of instrument for Ecological Fiscal Transfers, has been introduced in China. We employed propensity score matching and difference in difference estimation to investigate the effectiveness of this policy on the reduction of industrial pollution. We found evidence that the policy had reduced pollution-intensive activity in the NKEFZs. Meanwhile, implementation of the policy had been selective. First, the downstream NKEFZs with higher opportunity costs had lower efforts to reduce industrial pollution. Because performance-based payment mechanisms neglect opportunity costs, financial stress weakens the efforts to reduce pollution. Secondly, the NKEFZs policy suppresses air-polluting industries but not water-polluting industries. Local governments may reduce only the target pollutant (chemical oxygen demand) while ignoring non-target pollutants. There may be moral hazards under information asymmetry in pollution reduction.

Title: The knowledge discovery in databases approach: identifying variables that influence ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications
Abstract: 
 With the rapid expansion of international trade, companies are progressively adopting management system standards that ‘dazzle’ the market, such as those in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. However, the reports for ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 only provide the number of valid certifications, without presenting information on the variables that may influence an increase or difference in the number of these certifications. In response to this gap, this article aims to identify the main variables of the World Development Indicators (WDI) that influence the number of valid ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. The Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) approach was used to identify relevant indicators, with correlation analysis performed to validate the data. Our investigation shows influences that previous studies had not found: the number of certifications and scientific articles, passenger transport by railways and air, greenhouse gases, and methane and nitrous oxide emissions.

Title: Working on institutions while planning for forest resilience: a case study of public land management in the United States
Abstract: 
 How do managers reconcile new priorities for responding to ecological change with traditional decision-making processes? We address this question with a focus on the US Forest Service, which is transitioning to managing for resilience, while operating under a mix of both new and decades-old policies. We conducted qualitative case study research on the Kaibab National Forest in Arizona, USA, via interviews and document analysis. In this context, managing for resilience translated into ensuring that forests experienced frequent, low-severity fires. This endeavor required managers to work through the legacy of fire exclusion and develop institutions to accommodate frequent burning in a new land management plan. In this plan, managers also sought to increase their discretion, but not at the expense of accountability. Collaboration with external stakeholders allowed them to strike this balance between flexibility and accountability and make the intentional institutional changes needed to manage for resilience.

Title: How do green HRM practices affect employees’ green behaviors? The role of employee engagement and personality attributes
Abstract: 
 This study suggests a novel progress in the change journey toward sustainability by empirically investigating the mediation role of employee engagement with environmental initiatives between green HRM practices and individual green behavior. Further, this study invoked the classical theory of person-organization-fit to examine the role of certain personality traits in moderating the associations between HRM practices and employee engagement with environmental initiatives. A quantitative research method with a purposeful-sampling technique was used to reach 376 employees who work at four and five-star hotels operating in Jordan. The study provides original findings indicating that employee engagement partially mediates the association between green HRM practices and individual green behavior. Additionally, this study emphasizes the importance of organization-person interaction in fostering employee engagement with environmental initiatives.

Title: Renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption, trade and CO2 emissions in high emitter countries: does the income level matter?
Abstract: 
 This study analyzes the effects of increased income and renewable energy on environmental quality, which has been ignored in the existing literature. An important contribution of this study is to analyze the role of renewable and nonrenewable energy in relation to the rising level of carbon emissions in the leading emitting countries. This research further examines the heterogeneous impacts of rising income levels and EKC investigation for CO2 emissions. The Kao cointegration, generalized method of moments (GMM), random effects, fixed effect (FE) regression models, and panel causality techniques are employed for panel data estimations. The empirical outcomes mention that an increase in income moderates the ratio of consumption of renewable energy to CO2 emissions. Increased income contributes more to the energy mix, which contributes to environmental pollution, through nonrenewable energy. This research reports policy-relevant critical masses beyond which an increase in income negatively affects the link between renewable energy and CO2 emissions.

Title: Land use planning in disputed mountain areas: conflicting interests and common arenas
Abstract: 
 Mountain areas are often subject to conflicts between different user interests and protection. The authors examine land use planning processes in Norway applied in accordance with the Planning and Building Act and the Nature Diversity Act and discuss how they might be improved. They find that although influenced by trends of decentralization, inclusion and integration, and principles for multilevel governance, the land use planning approaches for use and protection are still performed in the shadow of instrumentalism and hierarchy with little awareness of their limitations in practical use. The “communicative turn” has stimulated comprehensive participation processes, but these consensus-oriented processes have to some extent been able to handle conflicting interests. The authors conclude that in future planning it will be vital to establish common arenas as trading zones for coordinated municipal, regional and national planning, combining instrumental and communicative practices with agonistic approaches in a multilevel governance network.

Title: Navigating visions, knowledge and practical challenges in coastal zone planning
Abstract: 
 This paper explores what happens when the ideal of sustainable development meets the real and pressing problems in coastal zone planning. Insights into how coastal zone planners understand environmental problems and navigate political visions, knowledge requirements, stakeholder involvement and local conditions, are key to understanding how to develop a holistic approach in line with sustainable development. The paper applies Q-methodology to identify the dominant discourses and explore planners’ perceptions and practices for sustainable coastal zone management. The Q sorts were realized in 2018–2019 in Northern Norway with planners in 10 small municipalities and 8 county level representatives. It is argued that it provides new insights into the challenges that planners face in striking a balance between the overarching values and the practical tasks that planners face in everyday planning; and that the interpretation of factors using Q-methodology should focus on all statements to ensure holism and avoid overlooking important information.

Title: Dynamics of international trade, technology innovation and environmental sustainability: evidence from Asia by accounting for cross-sectional dependence
Abstract: 
 This study explores the mechanism of how trade openness (TO) affects CO2 emissions via the scale and technique effects in the Asian region over the 1990–2015 period. The results obtained by employing cross-sectional augmented estimators indicate that: (i) trade-induced technology innovation (TI) reduces CO2 emissions; (ii) trade-facilitated economic growth results in higher CO2 emissions; (iii) the positive scale effect outweighs the negative technique effects. Furthermore, TO also produces a rebound effect of TI on emissions for Southern and Western Asia. The Dumitrescu–Hurlin causality test reveals that TO Granger causes economic growth and TI, which in turn cause CO2 emissions. Besides, quadri-directional causality is observed between TO, TI, energy consumption and emissions, suggesting that these variables are mutually reinforcing. The findings suggest that the goals of environmental sustainability can be attained if the pace of national output growth is accompanied by environmental regulations and clean technology improvements when framing comprehensive trade policy.

Title: Cost of human-elephant conflict and perceptions of compensation: evidence from Odisha, India
Abstract: 
 Odisha, an eastern Indian state, has reported an increasing number of human-elephant conflicts in recent years. Odisha's economic survey (2014–15) reveals that, up until January 2014, about 42,371.86-hectares of forest land had been destroyed for developmental activities. The loss of natural habitat has increased the frequency of conflict. The household survey conducted in nine villages within the Nilagiri forest range, captured various costs of conflict such as crop damage, human fatalities and injury, property damage, and livestock depredation. Findings suggested that crop-raiding was persistent and severe, which threatened food security and livelihoods. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified factors influencing perceptions of the adequacy of compensation. Results show that respondents were less likely to say that compensation amounts were adequate if they had attended more than five years of schooling; if they had an annual family income greater than INR 13,500; and if the amount of compensation was more than INR 12,500.

Title: A novel data envelopment analysis for location of renewable energy site with respect to sustainability
Abstract: 
 The feasibility of a photovoltaic project depends on strategic decisions such as the location of the power plant. This article contributes to the literature by proposing a novel algorithm employing non-radial data envelopment analysis and a clustering method, including single-period and multi-period models, to select appropriate locations to establish photovoltaic sites. This algorithm evaluates the candidate locations’ efficiency to establish photovoltaic power plant considering defined sustainability criteria. Due to different results obtained from the presented models, the clustering method identifies the best locations. Iran is used to assess the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that six provinces are suitable locations to launch photovoltaic sites and the obtained locations are in good agreement with the photovoltaic potential for Iran. Furthermore, the results reveal that Iran has a high potential to generate photovoltaic energy. Besides, the locations identified for the establishment of photovoltaic sites are close to high electricity consumption provinces.

Title: Factors affecting farmers’ behavior in using nitrogen fertilizers: society vs. farmers’ valuation in southwest Iran
Abstract: 
 Overapplication of nitrogen (N) has direct and indirect environmental and social impacts, both now and in the future. Therefore, applying N more efficiently is an important goal in many developing countries. The purpose of this study is to understand the factors affecting the intention of nitrogen consumption behavior by farmers in Ramshir county in Khuzestan province (located in southwestern Iran). To this end, we used the extensive normative activation model enriched with the planned behavior model to understand farmers’ behavior. The statistical population for the study included 200 farmers in Ramshir county in Khuzestan province in southwestern Iran. Structural equation modeling revealed that the proposed model predicted 32% and 45% of the variance in intention and behavior, respectively. Personal norms were stronger predictors of intention, whereas attitude and subjective norms had no impact on intention. As fertilizer use continues to increase, imbalanced and unsustainable use of fertilizers and their environmental effects will become a major concern according to the findings. Factors that affect farmers’ decision-making on fertilizer usage need to be studied and better understood in order to establish correct policies on costs, incentives, and future program goals. It is therefore important for policymakers to communicate information to producers through demonstration projects, technical assistance, and educational programs, in order to formulate successful emission control policies. Under a changed political environment, some integration of education and economic benefits could be lower cost and more effective tools to achieve desired conservative environmental goals.

Title: Integrating forest management across the landscape: a three pillar framework
Abstract: 
 Forests are vital ecosystems on a global, regional and local scale, but are under threat from a variety of competing land uses. Integrated landscape approaches have been proposed as a way to create sustainable land use for forests and forest communities through a more integrated, holistic approach to governing resources. A variety of principles for managing landscapes have been proposed as a framework for implementation, but these landscape approaches suffer from a limited theoretical and conceptual basis. This paper seeks to address such shortcomings by identifying and integrating the theoretical components of landscape approaches into a common framework. The paper analyses landscape disciplines, practices and activities and the implementation of common landscape-level principles in the context of forest landscapes to identify the underlying key components. The paper argues that management across a forest landscape must be underpinned by three pillars: ecosystem integrity, strong governance systems and effective planning processes.

Title: Improving engagement in managing reintroduction conflicts: learning from beaver reintroduction
Abstract: 
 Social factors hold implications for the success or failure of wildlife reintroductions. Potential conflict issues may prevent projects from proceeding or succeeding. The manner in which wildlife managers engage with affected people in conflict scenarios may prevent or contribute toward conflict escalation, so an understanding of how to improve engagement is required. We conducted interviews with individuals who reported conflicts with beavers (Castor fiber) within the case study of a reintroduction trial in England, called the ‘River Otter Beaver Trial’. Using a qualitative thematic analysis, we identified five themes to be considered when engaging with affected people in beaver reintroduction conflicts: (1) Proactive Engagement or a Fast Response; (2) Appropriate Communication; (3) Shared Decision-Making; (4) Sense that Humans are Responsible for Conflicts with Reintroduced Species; (5) A Need for Certainty. We conclude that engagement with affected individuals will likely be improved, with reduced conflict potential, where these themes are addressed.

Title: Waste disposal and housing price: new evidence from the landfill clean-up program in Hong Kong
Abstract: 
 Accurately measuring the costs and social benefits of environmental programs may have significant public sector policy implications. When considering environmental programs, governments may choose to conduct landfill clean-ups to improve urban living environments and health. However, these programs may generate substantial costs, and it is not clear whether their social benefits can recover these costs. Since the 1990s, the Hong Kong government has restored 13 closed landfills. This study seeks to quantify the short-term social benefits of this landfill clean-up program by measuring its impact on the housing market. Using the difference-in-differences method, we find that housing prices near landfill sites increase about 2.2%, on average, within two years after landfill restoration. However, housing prices show no further change after the restored landfill sites are redeveloped into urban parks and other facilities. We argue that removal of the stigma effect is likely the main channel for housing price hikes. Through a back-of-the-envelope estimation, we find that the social benefits from housing value appreciation can sufficiently recover the program costs.

Title: A farmers’ perspective on farm relocation: lessons learnt from relocated farmers in Belgium and The Netherlands
Abstract: 
 Farm relocation is applied in numerous spatial planning processes, including the conversion of agricultural land for nature development or urbanization. In this paper, we present the results of a qualitative study on farm relocation. With the aim of identifying main problems and success factors related to farm relocations, we performed in-depth interviews with relocated farmers in the Netherlands and in the region of Flanders, Belgium. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study looking at the farmers’ perspective on relocation that includes farmers from different planning projects and countries. Using grounded theory, we were able to identify factors that determine the perceived success or failure of farm relocation, subdivided into five categories: (1) farmer and firm; (2) financial aspects; (3) process; (4) old location; and (5) new location. Insights gathered in this study might guide spatial planners towards effective use of farm relocation in different planning contexts.

Title: Eliciting actors’ perspectives in integrated watershed management: exploring a practical tool based on a mental model approach
Abstract: 
 A profound understanding of actors’ perspectives on issues to be resolved is essential for researchers and practitioners in integrated natural resource management. Existing mental model approaches to systematically elicit such perspectives have been based on qualitative interviews, which implies small sample sizes or time-consuming analyses. Few studies have investigated complex projects of practical relevance. We studied the actors’ perspectives before the participatory process in a real-world integrated watershed management project through qualitative interviews and a quantitative survey based on a theoretical framework inspired by mental model approaches. We identified clear accordance and discordance among the perspectives regarding meanings of the water bodies, objectives for their management, and related beliefs. The mixed methods mental model approach proved to be a promising practical tool for the effective and efficient elicitation of actors’ perspectives in decision making.

Title: Impact of bad outputs and environmental regulation on efficiency of Indian leather firms: a directional distance function approach
Abstract: 
 This paper measures the environmental efficiency of the grossly polluting Indian leather industry which faces stringent environmental regulations. The environmental efficiency measure accounts for associated bad outputs (total suspended solids and chromium) with the good output (leather products) of firms and hence, provides an important benchmark for improving environmental performance. Drawing data from fieldwork in the Kanpur industry of India, the study estimates efficiency using the directional distance function approach under three directional vectors. The results reveal that the efficiency of firms is underestimated when bad outputs are omitted in the production technology. There is significant potential to increase leather production and reduce pollutants across firms. The study confirms that regulation improves the environmental efficiency of leather firms. However, regulation imposes an opportunity cost on firms of an average 3% loss in expanding leather output and reducing inputs. The study recommends mandating the use of cleaner technology and market-based instruments to improve environmental efficiency.

Title: Urban policy adaptation toward managing increasing pluvial flooding events under climate change
Abstract: 
 Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events. In urban areas, these cloudbursts cause localized flooding and disrupt urban life. However, there is no universal method for urban rainfall adaptation. Here, we demonstrate that while six developed cities; New York City, Vancouver, Sydney, Auckland, Copenhagen and Amsterdam, each present a different management approach toward cloudburst events, these six cities also use a mixture of five common policy alternatives to manage stormwater runoff. Thus, while individual cities might pursue different management approaches toward pluvial flooding, the repetition of the policy alternatives across these six cities indicates the foundation of a global consensus toward the policy adaptation techniques available. As climate change continues to impact our urban environments, it is important to identify and understand policy tools for effective adaptation, ensuring knowledge can be transferred across all cities facing an unpredictable future.

Title: Energy recovery on the agenda. Waste heat: a matter of public policy and social science concern
Abstract: 
 Waste heat from industry or urban facilities represents a largely underused and long disregarded energy source, while heating and cooling count for half the final energy demand in Europe. From the early 2010s onwards, waste heat recovery (WHR) is being recognized as a key challenge for energy transition and tends to be integrated into energy strategies at different levels. This paper provides an analysis of how WHR became a matter of public policy in Europe and in France. Based on a literature review, the analysis shows that WHR has been framed as a techno-economic problem, while some barriers (legal, organizational) to its development remain largely unaddressed. A study of European and French energy agendas illustrates how WHR progressively started to be recognized as an energy resource next to renewables. As a result, questions are raised as to further social science contributions to an extended research agenda addressing WHR.

Title: Reduction of nitrogen pollution in agriculture through nitrogen surplus quotas: an analysis of individual marginal abatement cost and different quota allocation schemes using an agent-based model
Abstract: 
 Nitrogen (N) pollution has mostly been controlled using command-and-control instruments. However, nitrogen surplus permits (NSPs), which are tradeable, can be more cost-efficient in addressing the problem. To model this instrument, we calculated the individual marginal abatement cost curve for a sample of about 3,400 Swiss farms using farm-optimization models implemented in the agent-based agricultural sector model SWISSland. We also used SWISSland to analyze the effects of two NSP distribution systems (grandfathering and land-based allocation) on different farm types. The results showed that different farm types range in their abatement costs to reduce N surplus from an average of −0.04 CHF kg−1 N on arable farms to 51.06 CHF kg−1 N on special crop farms. We also found that N surpluses hardly explain the level of abatement costs. The biggest differences in effects of the distribution scheme were found in intensive livestock farm types such as pig or poultry farms.

Title: Spiritual leadership and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment: An intervening and interactional analysis
Abstract: 
 The present study proposes that spiritual leadership is positively associated with organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) directly and indirectly, via environmental justice orientation. The study also proposes harmonious environmental passion as a moderator of the relationship between spiritual leadership and OCBE. The proposed relationships were tested using time-lagged survey data from 337 supervisor-employee dyads in 41 Chinese firms. We found that spiritual leadership is positively associated with OCBE, both directly and indirectly, via environmental justice orientation. Interestingly, the results revealed that the direct association of spiritual leadership with OCBE was contingent on harmonious environmental passion. Our findings offer important implications that can help managers make appropriate interventions to reduce organizations’ carbon footprint.HighlightsThe relationship between spiritual leadership and OCBE was examinedData were collected from 337 supervisor-employee dyadsSpiritual leadership is positively related to OCBEEnvironmental justice orientation mediates the spiritual leadership-OCBE linkEnvironmental harmonious passion moderates the spiritual leadership-OCBE link

Title: Wastewater management by citizens: mismatch between legal rules and self-organisation in Oosterwold
Abstract: 
 Self-organisation in environmental service delivery is increasingly being promoted as an alternative to centralised service delivery. This article argues that self-organised environmental service delivery must be understood in the context of legal rules, especially environmental legislation. The article’s aim is twofold: first, to understand the changing relationship between the government and citizens in self-organised service delivery, and second, to explore how self-organised environmental service delivery complies with environmental quality requirements stipulated in legislation. The empirical study focuses on wastewater management in Oosterwold, the largest Dutch urban development that experimented with self-organisation. The results show that while individual wastewater management was prioritised and implemented at scale, the applicable legal rules were not adequately considered and integrated. Consequently, the experiment led to a deterioration of water quality. The article concludes that the success or failure of self-organisation in delivering environmental services such as wastewater management critically hinges on ensuring compliance with environmental legislation.

Title: The impact of nature documentaries on public environmental preferences and willingness to pay: entropy balancing and the blue planet II effect
Abstract: 
 In this study, the discrete choice experiment approach was employed in a survey of the Scottish general public to analyze how respondents make tradeoffs between blue growth potential and marine ecosystem service delivery associated with the Mingulay cold water reef complex. Results indicate a higher willingness to pay for management options associated with the highest possible levels of marine litter control followed by the highest possible levels of fish health. Using entropy balancing, a multivariate reweighting method to produce balanced samples in observational studies, we also test the impact that having watched the BBC Blue Planet II documentary series may have had on individuals’ willingness to support marine conservation activity. Whether or not respondents had seen the BBC Blue Planet II series was found to have a significant impact on people’s preferences. Despite this, the willingness to pay (WTP) does not differ between the two groups, suggesting that such documentaries may impact preferences but not the final action of WTP. It is argued that the entropy weighting approach can be a useful tool in discrete choice modeling when the researcher is concerned with estimating differences in preferences between a group of interest and a comparison group.

Title: Evolution of place-based governance in the management of development dilemmas: long-term learning from Małopolska, Poland
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we reflect on the evolution of place-based governance from a long-term (15 year) study of rural development initiatives undertaken in a region of Poland as part of its accession to the European Union. We decompose the recursive process of institutional learning arising from initiatives for heritage preservation and rural economic development. In our analysis, we elaborate a typology of unavoidable development dilemmas that must be explicitly managed in order to allow place-based governance to effectively harness the cultural value, social context, and developmental needs of certain locales or landscapes. Although creating and sustaining local value remain contingent on broader realities of governance, proactive management of these dilemmas can help prevent many of the usual contestations around goals and identity from becoming intractable in later periods. Our proposed approach to enabling place-based governance emphasizes conflict recognition and engagement as important complements to more common prescriptive models of governance.

Title: Examining the economic effects of emissions trading scheme in China
Abstract: 
 This paper examined the economic impacts of China’s emissions trading system (ETS), implemented in 2013, in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) and per capita GDP. The methodology drew on a difference-in-differences (DID) method using dynamic panel data for 30 provincial regions. The estimation results show that implementing an ETS policy has statistically significant negative effects on economic growth. When considering the additional control variables, these effects are still statistically significant. Furthermore, these negative impacts increase over time with respect to both GDP and per capita GDP. The counterfactual tests confirm the robustness of our DID estimation results. The specific influence mechanism of China’s ETS policy was finally discussed. Our findings provide a quantitative decision-making support for popularizing ETS policy in China. Based on our DID model, empirical investigations of the ETS policy, especially concerning economic growth in other regions would produce prolific contributions to the literature.

Title: From gray copycats to green wolves: policy and infrastructure for flood risk management
Abstract: 
 Flooding has affected over two billion people since 1995. While gray infrastructure such as levees and dams has traditionally been used to mitigate this hazard, many communities are looking for approaches to augment or replace some of these structural solutions. Propelled by the regulatory support for green infrastructure approaches for stormwater management, some communities are also looking to green infrastructure for flood risk management (FRM). We apply the internal determinants and regional diffusion models to evaluate how floodplain management policies are evolving in place and diffusing through policy networks in several case studies from Oregon, US. We then develop several propositions as a way of focusing our findings on the community objectives and policy processes for FRM, contributing to the literature on policy innovation and adoption, and elucidating the nuances of these models for explaining FRM.

Title: Effects of economic compensation on public acceptance of waste-to-energy incineration projects: an attribution theory perspective
Abstract: 
 Economic compensation has been documented in many studies globally as an important strategy for enhancing acceptance by local residents of potentially hazardous facilities. Based on attribution theory, the present study investigates the situation for Waste-to-Energy (WTE) incineration plants using a questionnaire survey conducted with adjacent residents to four selected WTE incineration plants located in the Yangtze River Delta region, China. The results indicate that economic compensation effectively improves residents’ acceptance by being positively associated with their perceived economic benefit and trust in the local government, but is negatively associated with their perceived risks. Of these, trust plays the most vital role. The findings contribute to the literature on decision-making of locally unwanted land use siting in China by understanding the effects of economic compensation on local resident acceptance; and is of great significance for other countries involved in establishing sustainable municipal solid waste disposal systems of their own.

Title: Community-based initiatives in the urban realm what conditions their performance?
Abstract: 
 A city is a place where many initiatives, people, and social and urban challenges meet. This article brings together the cumulative knowledge of eight researchers who have been studying community-based initiatives (CBIs) via case studies in various countries. In some countries, citizens were not satisfied with government-provided services, or services were lacking. Governments in other countries faced budget cuts to their public services, which led to a strong call for citizens to take matters into their own hands. There is a lack of research investigating the performance of CBIs and explaining their success and failure. The authors systematically analyze their recent case studies through qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) and try to explain under which conditions CBIs lead to high performance. One of the key findings of this analysis is that proximate conditions related to the CBIs—strong organizational capacity, democratic structure, and leadership—are important for high performance. However, these conditions are not sufficient on their own. Community-based initiatives need a conductive environment to achieve high performance; in our cases, government support and a heterogeneous community or a supportive government attitude was key.

Title: Managing nature conservation prioritization: a spatial conservation planning index approach
Abstract: 
 A perpetual lack of adequate resources to conserve and protect nature requires managers to prioritize some conservation efforts over others. Conservation managers tend to resist prioritization based on one specific goal, preferring to compare the outcomes of conservation programs with the achievement of diverse goals. We describe a conservation index based on a survey of management at the Israel Nature and Parks Authority (INPA). The result provided an index for spatial prioritization of conservation efforts. The surveys revealed a strong preference for conservation attributes that were more relevant in the north of Israel where levels of biodiversity are perceived to be higher. The contribution of this research is to provide an objective method of spatial prioritization not requiring conservation managers to express preferences for one region over another. A second contribution of the research was the revealed differences in prioritization of conservation goals between national INPA staff and district staff.

Title: Sustainable consumption models for customers: investigating the significant antecedents of green purchase behavior from the perspective of information asymmetry
Abstract: 
 With the increase in global climate change, governments, relevant interest groups, and customers have begun to focus on environmental issues. This awakening of green consciousness has resulted in the growth of the green economy. Currently, gaining the preference of green consumers is regarded as a critical determinant of the survival and success of enterprises. Therefore, various products on the market claim to provide environmental benefits in their packaging and advertising. This study investigated consumer psychology and behavior from the perspective of information asymmetry by using signal theory. Moreover, the relationships among green product information asymmetry (GPIA), excessive product packaging (EPP), green product psychological ownership (GPPO), and green purchase behavior (GPB) are examined according to signal theory and psychological ownership theory to address the current research gaps in sustainable customer consumption. A questionnaire was used to validate the research hypotheses and framework. Analysis of the research data revealed that EPP and GPPO completely mediate the relationship between GPIA and GPB. Therefore, enterprises should reduce EPP and strengthen customers’ GPPO. These steps would contribute to the promotion of GPB among customers.

Title: Green infrastructure in comprehensive plans in coastal Texas
Abstract: 
 By guiding where, how, and when development occurs, comprehensive plans are an important vehicle to implement green infrastructure. To examine how green infrastructure is incorporated into local comprehensive plans, we evaluate 38 city and county plans in coastal Texas. Like many coastal regions, coastal Texas is experiencing rapid population growth, environmental degradation, and growing natural hazard threats. We found that local comprehensive plans in this region do not effectively incorporate green infrastructure. Few plans include goals related to green infrastructure or discuss the benefits of green infrastructure. The plans lack information critical for planning a green infrastructure network and rely on a narrow set of policies. Based on the prevalence of strategies to protect open space, green infrastructure is valued by communities even if they do not use the term “green infrastructure.” Ultimately, the results suggest that there is a critical need to build planning capacity to advance green infrastructure implementation.

Title: Volunteering in environment conservation program: gain or loss?
Abstract: 
 Participation in an environmental conservation volunteer program provides secondary school students with the opportunity to establish a direct connection to their environment while contributing to the conservation of its natural heritage. The volunteering experiences also offer various forms of benefits to the volunteers as they ride through the challenges and learning experiences. A case study was conducted to explore the experiences of forty-five secondary school students who had volunteered in an environmental conservation volunteer program in the state of Perak. The study utilized focus group discussions to collect data. All discussions were audio-recorded and analyzed thematically using a two-layer constant comparative analysis method, triangulated using observations and reflection notes. Four themes emerged from the analysis to describe the benefits student volunteers gained from their active participation in the volunteer program. The challenges they experienced throughout their participation in the program were also described.

Title: Environmental and health hazards of residents domiciled around Africa’s largest landfill
Abstract: 
 Landfills are a nuisance and an environmental feature whose siting creates uncertainty, anxiety and unrest in nearby residential neighborhoods. As such, hazards from Africa’s largest Landfill in Nigeria were surveyed, considering a 3 km radius of the site. Primary data were collected across four seasons from 473 participants in neighborhoods situated within a 1, 1–2 and 2–3 km radius of the site. The research established that environmental and health hazards experienced differ significantly in space, due to exposure to landfill pollutants which varied in space. However, experience in both the dry and rainy seasons was the same. The overall results reveal that place dependence, social bonding and economic status are the significant factors influencing residents’ decision to continue residing in their neighborhoods despite the hazards. The research advocated for more studies on the spatio-temporal pattern of hazardous land uses to ensure a sustainable environment that supports healthy living.

Title: The spatial dynamic relationship between haze pollution and economic growth: new evidence from 285 prefecture-level cities in China
Abstract: 
 Numerous studies have examined the correlation between haze pollution and economic growth, but few have focused on the bilateral causality and spatial dependence of the relationship simultaneously. With a recent, large sample of 285 Chinese prefecture-level cities over the period from 1998 to 2016, the dynamic relationship between economic growth and PM2.5 concentration was investigated in China and different geographical regions via the generalized spatial three-stage least squares method (GS3SLS). In addition, the spatial spillover effects of PM2.5 concentration and economic growth were explored, and the socioeconomic factors of the feedback effects of haze pollution on economic growth were identified. The results indicate the following: (1) There is an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic growth and haze pollution, and haze pollution can, in turn, inhibit economic growth; (2) haze pollution and economic growth have an obvious spatial spillover effect that closely links neighboring areas, such that haze pollution has a clear and significant positive spatial spillover, and the spatial effect of economic growth depends on the regional characteristics; (3) environmental regulation has significance in explaining the inhibitory effect of haze pollution on economic growth; and (4) heterogeneity by geographical region and urban agglomeration is observed in the relationship between haze pollution and economic growth. Therefore, it is urgent to control haze pollution and avoid oversimplified and crude environmental regulation measures that may damage economic growth. Multiregional joint governance, systematic environmental regulation and technical environmental regulation should be strengthened.

Title: Land conflict management measures in peri-urban areas: a meta-synthesis review
Abstract: 
 This paper provides a meta-synthesis review of land conflict management measures in peri-urban areas and categorizes them into: (a) containment measures; (b) controller measures; (c) moderator measures and (d) intensifier measures. This paper argues that, despite these measures, the peri-urban areas are still plagued by complex land conflicts from different aspects. Such a process requires effective management measures to deal with these conflicts which are at the heart of strategic measures. These measures emphasize the productive potential of development, institutional governance, cooperative approaches, and the self-sufficiency of peri-urban areas, and outline the future outlook for peri-urban areas in the form of productive, democratic, self-sufficient and accountable areas. Certainly, such a view can improve the performance and ability of peri-urban areas and create desirable socio-economic development and environmental quality, by modifying land conflict-generating forces.

Title: Factors influencing farmers’ management behaviors toward coping with drought: evidence from Iran
Abstract: 
 In recent years, drought has had detrimental impacts on agricultural activities in Iran, so it is of crucial importance to employ drought-coping strategies. As such, the main idea of this research was to discover the factors affecting the use of preventive behaviors by farmers to cope with drought. This research can deepen agricultural decision-makers’ understanding of the use of drought management behaviors. The health belief model (HBM) was used as the theoretical framework for the study. The statistical sample was composed of 410 rainfed farms in Kerman province, Southeastern Iran, taken using the multi-stage technique with proportional allocation. The results of structural equation modeling showed that the variables of cues to action, self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived benefits had the most significant impact on the adoption of drought-coping behaviors by farmers, mentioned in order of importance. Practically, the research provides a rationale for the use of HBM, and its results provide important policies to help decision-makers to sustain farmers’ livelihoods.

Title: Constructing forest owner identities and governing decisions and relationships: the owner as distant consumer in Swedish forestry
Abstract: 
 Increasing diversification, urbanization, economic restructuring, and distances, as well as declining economic dependence on forestry, are changing the characteristics of forest ownership and the conditions for environmental governance. Through an interview-based case study of Swedish forestry industrial actors, this article examined the organizational and governing aspects and implications of recent shifts by exploring the strategies and marketing/governing technologies of private/industrial forestry organizations. With a focus on local implementation, this study shows that forest owners are largely constructed, and engaged, as consumers (rather than, for example, as timber suppliers) and are governed, partly at a distance, through specific forms of guidance, technologies, and knowledge to overcome the lack of social and physical presence in the design and interaction of sale. This stresses the need to understand the role, function, and power of the forestry organizations and sales processes in research on environmental and forest policy implementation on multiple levels.

Title: A meta-analysis of environmental innovation and firm performance
Abstract: 
 Environmental innovation is an important variable in the study of strategic management. However, studies on the effect of environmental innovation have drawn different conclusions. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis to reanalyze the relationship between environmental innovation and firms’ performance, based on 33 empirical studies, and we evaluated the moderating effects of the economic development level of a country, cultural background, industry diversity, and data types. The results showed that environmental innovation can positively promote both firms’ financial performance and environmental performance. In developed countries and Eastern culture, environmental innovation has a stronger effect on firms’ financial performance, and the effect of environmental innovation on environmental performance is stronger within the context of developing countries.

Title: Thermal planning: what can campuses teach us about expanding district energy?
Abstract: 
 Campus district energy (DE) systems present opportunities to reduce energy costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, manage peak loads, and increase the share of renewable energy. We investigate the opportunities and barriers to expanding campus DE systems off-campus through surveys and interviews with 18 campus DE managers and providers, and a case study modeling heat demand near campus. The impact of DEs on buildings’ energy consumption reductions are estimated at around 33%. Expanding the campus DE systems to nearby buildings may yield similar energy efficiency gains off-campus. However, about half the survey respondents do not see off-campus DE expansions as currently possible. Barriers to extension include high infrastructure installation costs, stringent utility regulations, insufficient financial and institutional incentives, and individualistic mentalities whereby building owners prefer to control their energy systems.

Title: Why are projects rarely rejected in environmental impact assessments? Narratives of justifiability in Brazilian and Canadian review reports
Abstract: 
 Projects that undergo environmental impact assessment (EIA) are rarely rejected. Online registries and anecdotal evidence suggest that authorities approve almost all proposed and assessed projects, though often with mitigation requirements. The objective of this study was: 1) to identify the rules or criteria that reviewers and authorities must observe when considering the acceptance or rejection of projects; and 2) to understand how rare cases of rejection decisions are justified by reviewers. Data were collected through literature and regulatory reviews, and content analysis of review reports related to five Canadian and seven Brazilian rejected projects. Reviewers from Canada and Brazil adopted similar approaches to decision-making based on qualitative reasoning. Rejection recommendations were based on reasons, such as significance of biophysical impacts, sensitivity of locations and community values. The influence of reviewers’ recommendations on final decisions remains unknown. The study highlights practical implications and calls for greater transparency and rigor in EIA decision-making.

Title: Implementing a mandate to plan for sea level rise: top-down, bottom-up, and middle-out actions in the Tampa Bay region
Abstract: 
 The 2015 Peril of Flood Act mandates that municipalities in Florida, USA consider sea level rise (SLR) in the coastal element of the comprehensive plan. Because the mandate lacks specificity, planning actors have broad discretion on how to respond. This paper examines how state, regional, and local level actors are implementing the mandate through a case study of the Tampa Bay region. Documents and interviews reveal that state agency staff provided inconsistent compliance guidance. Regional organizations developed credible planning intelligence and promoted collaboration and shared learning. Local planning actors, led by champions, utilized the mandate as political cover and a window of opportunity to pursue progressive planning. These champions were committed to technically competent planning practice and a moral duty to plan for SLR. The analysis reveals the importance of a top-down mandate to spur SLR planning in Florida when paired with regional capacity building and local level progressive champions.

Title: The circular economy of waste: recovery, incineration and urban reuse
Abstract: 
 This article examines how the political economy of waste utility services is changing in response to circular economy programs. It focuses on the financial composition, economic position and geography of three sectors: waste recycling, incineration, and urban waste reuse. Building on an empirical analysis of these sectors in the Netherlands, specifically the Amsterdam city-region, it puts forward three key arguments. First, waste recovery corporations are becoming increasingly global and dependent on steady flows of waste. Second, incineration facilities play a central yet uncertain role in planning for the circular economy. Third, the circular economy is driving an emerging material reuse market in cities. The paper concludes by arguing that ongoing changes in waste markets run the risk of making (circular) economies even more dependent on wasteful consumption and production.

Title: Integrative governance processes towards sustainable spatial development – solving conflicts between urban infill development and climate change adaptation
Abstract: 
 Due to the high concentration of people and infrastructures in European cities, the possible impacts of climate change are particularly high (cities’ social, economic and technical vulnerabilities). Adaptation measures to reduce the sensitivity of a city to climate risks are therefore of particular importance. Nevertheless, it is also common to develop compact and dense urban areas to reduce urban sprawl. Urban infill development and sustainable spatial climate policies are thus in apparent conflict with each other. This article examines how German cities deal with the tensions between these two policy fields. Using six case studies, a new heuristic analysis method is applied. This study identifies three key governance aspects that are essential for promoting the joint implementation: instruments, organisation and interaction. Based on our case studies, we conclude that successful implementation can only be achieved through integrative governance including all three domains.

Title: A dialogue approach to stakeholder engagement with urban communities: The case of Mofolo Park, Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa
Abstract: 
 Urban parks play a crucial role in conserving the biophysical environment, yet conservation efforts mostly focus on biodiversity hotspots, iconic mammal species, and nature conservation areas. A challenge in enhancing the role of urban parks in conservation relates to the varied, and often conflicted, priorities of communities and city authorities in the engagement process. Using a qualitative research approach through in-depth interviews with community leaders, councilors, community-based organizations, and youth organizations, this study explores stakeholder engagement in the planning and management of Mofolo Park in Soweto, Johannesburg. Results indicate that although the City of Johannesburg wanted to add food gardens to the park, the community was not united in support of this. Rather, the community wanted better safety, security and ablutions in the park, in contrast to the City of Johannesburg officials. Community members also expressed concerns about water pollution, sewerage spills, security and vandalism within the park, noting this inhibited their full enjoyment of the park. The study also revealed that women’s voices were mostly silenced during community discussions. The facilitator, who represented the City of Johannesburg, a few extroverted, vocal people and men dominated the discourse. This study concludes that although community engagement through stakeholder dialogues can, and should, play a crucial role in managing urban parks, the priorities and voices of the various stakeholders need to be carefully considered if the park is to be sustainably managed and fit for purpose as an urban green recreational space for local communities.

Title: Efficiency of rice production and CO2 emissions: A study of selected Asian countries using DDF and SBM-DEA
Abstract: 
 The present study aims to measure the efficiency of desirable output (Rice) in the presence of undesirable output (CO2), for selected Asian countries. An attempt has also been made to identify how great a reduction in CO2 emission is required to make agricultural practices efficient and sustainable. DDF and SBM-DEA are used to calculate the efficiency of 28 Asian countries for the period 2002 to 2014. To compare the efficiency of the models with and without the presence of undesired output and to calculate bias, if any, in model selection, the Mann-Whitney U test was applied. Results indicate that the exclusion of undesired output leads to biased estimates. The efficiency scores show that in eleven countries rice production was environmentally efficient. For the remaining seventeen inefficient countries, a considerable amount of reduction in CO2 emissions and fertilizer use are required to make the production process efficient and environmentally sustainable.

Title: Meeting volunteer expectations — a review of volunteer motivations in citizen science and best practices for their retention through implementation of functional features in CS tools
Abstract: 
 Citizen Science (CS) projects vary greatly. The aims and goals of a CS project determine the type of citizen involvement and the tools to be used, which in most cases also entail information and communication technology (ICT) that facilitates public participation in scientific research. Resource limitations in CS projects often require adopting suboptimal tools, which, however, may come with hidden costs stemming from poor usability and underwhelming functionality, thus reducing volunteers’ motivation. Meeting the volunteers’ expectations by designing or using existing tools with functional features which fulfill and nurture their motivations, will foster long-term participation and contribute to project sustainability. This paper reviews the types of CS projects, volunteer motivation and retention strategies from the literature and classifies them thematically. This is distilled into guidance that can help CS practitioners to design and implement CS tools and plan and manage CS projects, which better serve their scientific and volunteer-related goals.

Title: Multidimensional trust and its impact on the willingness to pay for ecological compensation in China’s transboundary watersheds—taking the largest tributary of the Yellow River as an example
Abstract: 
 Transboundary watershed ecological compensation in China is a kind of trust-based cooperation between the upstream and downstream. However, existing research does not further detail multidimensional trust to explore its impact on willingness to pay (WTP). From the perspective of multidimensional trust, it is helpful to clarify the internal motivations for public participation, so as to realize the transformation from current government-led economic incentive mode to normative guidance of effective social behavior. Combined with the specific background of China’s ecological compensation, this study divides the downstream public trust into three dimensions: trust in self-governance capabilities, trust in upstream governance capabilities, and trust in local government. The empirical results show that the downstream trust in their own governance ability has a positive impact on their WTP, and when the downstream trust in the upstream governance capacity, the higher their WTP. Moreover, the more trust the local government, the higher the WTP.

Title: Acoustic environment management in the countryside: A case study of tourist sentiment for rural soundscapes in China
Abstract: 
 For sustainable environment development in the countryside and rural tourism destinations, we must pay greater attention to acoustic environment management and rural soundscape planning. Field surveys were performed using rural soundscape questionnaires to evaluate soundscape expectations and soundscape sentiments for the psycho-acoustic characteristics of rural soundscapes in Zhuquan Village, a rural tourism destination in China. The main findings of the 452 survey questionnaires show that the natural sounds of geophonies and biophonies are the rural tourists’ soundscape preferences, and sounds of spring and streams, bird song, and sounds of waterwheels are the rural tourists’ soundscape expectations. In the planning and management of rural soundscapes, we should reduce unwanted sounds, and protect and develop rich natural sounds, native lifestyle and traditional cultural soundscapes, so as to create an acoustically authentic atmosphere in the ideal rural tourism destination originating from idyllic Shangri-La.

Title: A method to select sites for sand and dust storm source mitigation: case study in the Sistan region of southeast Iran
Abstract: 
 Sand and dust storms (SDS) are a natural phenomenon dominantly originating in arid and semi-arid regions. The vastness and changing distribution of the SDS hotspots, their inaccessibility, and financial limitations are the greatest challenges to projects combating SDS. To boost project success, a prioritized site-selection method which incorporates the physical and human variables interacting with SDS is applied in this paper. This ensures that potential economic and health impacts of SDS on human populations are also included. Six variables were selected for analysis: within-region sand and dust hotspots, changing distribution of the hotspots, residential areas, vegetation cover, soil texture, and the maximum drought-inundation of the Hamoun wetland. SDS hotspot sites for possible stabilization were identified and prioritized using the multi criteria evaluation (MCE) method. Such prioritization assists the practical management of hotspots under conditions of resource and budgetary constraints which are especially common in developing countries. This paper thus provides a template for site selection and prioritization of SDS hotspots for remediation. It also highlights the importance of variables other than SDS source areas for selection of rehabilitation sites. The proposed method, using the Sistan region as an example, is applicable to other regions of the world as a means of reducing the negative effects of known dust storm hotspots.

Title: Evaluating what matters: an evaluation tool for vulnerability risk assessments in local climate change adaptation planning
Abstract: 
 The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has set out guidance to move countries forward via National Adaptation Plans, but many of these have proven non-implementable because they are generic and lack details on community needs. Here we review what vulnerability risk assessments (VRA) characteristics are considered desirable but absent, and thence develop an Evaluation Tool, for systematically analyzing VRAs as used for adaptation planning at the local level. We test it experimentally on an innovative VRA process claiming better outcomes - it uses a preprocess of crystallizing shared values of participants before considering climate issues. The evaluation results show that the Tool can successfully discriminate the quality of this approach and captures many distinct characteristics and differences. The Tool, which can also be a practitioner’s checklist, should thus be helpful in identifying and accelerating improvements in VRAs, and hence in adaptation planning, with affiliated local and global benefits.

Title: Practices and challenges of integrated watershed management in the Amhara region of Ethiopia: case study of Gonji Kolela District
Abstract: 
 Ethiopia faces serious threats in food production and rural livelihoods, mainly due to population growth and unsustainable use of natural resources. The general objective of the study was to examine the practices and challenges in integrated watershed management in the Gonji Kolela District of the Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as the chi-square test, independent T test and binary logistic model were employed to present and analyze the collected data. Study results indicated that terracing, area enclosure, agro-forestry, and soil and stone bunds were major watershed management activities in the study area. In conclusion, law awareness of the participants in the management of watersheds, associated with top-down approaches, were found to be obstacles to the sustainable use of the technologies. The study suggested that soil and water conservation structures have to be carefully designed and constructed taking into account realities.

Title: Development of sustainable urban drainage systems in Eastern Europe: an analytical overview of the constraints and enabling conditions
Abstract: 
 We focused on the barriers to the implementation of enabling environments for sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. Based on interviews and desktop research, we analyzed overall framework conditions in these countries as well as implementation practices in three cities. Our findings demonstrate that the main problem was the deficit of strategic foresight for urban development. SUDS are mostly promoted by NGOs and fueled by international donors, and this represents a major barrier to their implementation, as NGOs and ‘traditional’ epistemic communities are often not connected. Successful examples of SUDS are missing, often due to regulatory environments forcing SUDS development teams to take suboptimal decisions. In order to be taken seriously by key stakeholders SUDS need to appear in national policy documents. Furthermore, the overall successful implementation of SUDS needs robust governance frameworks while many structural issues are direct results of governance deficits.

Title: Coordination, harmonization or prioritization in environmental policy integration: evidence from the case in Chongming eco-island, China
Abstract: 
 This paper studies environmental policy integration (EPI) in eco-city/island, building an empirical model to quantify EPI levels based on decoupling analysis. EPI integration levels have been highlighted but have seldom been quantitatively probed in existing academia. It attempts to identify whether EPI, especially its prioritization, is approached in Chongming eco-city/island and identify the factors for it to be achieved. The four-quadrant decoupling model is applied and further operationalized temporally and spatially. Results show that Chongming had a strong prioritized EPI in four consecutive years in the examined years of 2012–2018 despite fluctuations in integration levels. Spatially in its 18 towns, 7 towns have prioritized EPI and one has strongly prioritized EPI, indicating optimistic empirical evidence for an eco-city/island. Contributing factors are discussed, such as EPI levels embodied in the distributed spatiality and time intervals, isolated bounded spatiality and functional symbiosis, and offsetting high costs with multi-level support.

Title: The impact of land consolidation on vulnerability of rural households: evidence from Central China
Abstract: 
 In the context of the Sustainable Livelihood Framework, the vulnerability of rural households is closely related to external risks and their responsibility. Recently, land consolidation has been widely implemented throughout China, which is supposed to boost livelihood capital and thereby improve rural households’ vulnerability. In order to examine this initiative, a case study was carried out in Central China. A matched Differences-in-Differences specification was adopted to estimate the effect of land consolidation. The results demonstrate that (1) land consolidation significantly reduces vulnerability by enhancing the quality and quantity of natural and physical capital, (2) the impact is highly spatially distributed, varying with the distance to the water source, and (3) the proposed model appears robust enough to explain the impact mechanism after a couples of robustness check. Finally, several suggestions are advised, including upgrading of infrastructure and facilities, reducing land fragmentation and adjusting the distance between cropland and the water source.

Title: Linking restorative human health outcomes to protected area ecosystem diversity and integrity
Abstract: 
 Human health and well-being benefits have increasingly been associated with contact with nature. However, limited research has focused on the influence of ecosystem type and quality on these outcomes. This paper reports on the results of an in-situ survey of 467 visitors to an Ontario protected area. Results revealed high overall restorative outcomes across all ecosystem types, with greater benefits reported for women than men. Perceived ecosystem quality, including species richness, naturalness, and ecological integrity, had the greatest impact on restorative outcomes, while the type of ecosystem and time spent had surprisingly little influence. Greater restorative outcomes for women were also associated with specific ecosystem types. The study advances our limited understanding of the nuanced relationship between human health and well-being outcomes and exposure to diverse ecosystems, and by extenstion the unique aspects of biodiversity and ecosystem condition that Canada’s protected areas exhibit.

Title: Crowding in or crowding out? How non-governmental organizations and media influence intrinsic motivations toward corporate social and environmental responsibility
Abstract: 
 Motivation crowding theory examines how external intervention may undermine intrinsic motivation. Earlier research has shown that intrinsic motivation plays a decisive role in fostering environmental performance of households and consumers, but that external pressures may “crowd out” the intrinsic motivations. Similar patterns could be expected in business organizations. However, only a few studies consider crowding effects of financial incentives on businesses’ intrinsic motivation to environmental responsibility, whereas none addresses the impact of external pressures from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and media, despite their prominent role. This study aims to address this gap by offering a mediation framework explaining how pressures from NGOs and media affect intrinsic motivation. Empirically, the paper adds to the scant empirical research by estimating a model on a sample of 4,364 enterprises from twelve European countries. We find that NGOs and media pressures increase financial benefits from environmental responsibility, which in turn crowd in intrinsic motivation in enterprises.

Title: Role of religious beliefs of tribal communities from Jharkhand (India) in biodiversity conservation
Abstract: 
 Jharkhand is one of the most biodiversity-enriched regions in India because of its origin and diverse physiographic and climatic conditions. It comprises 29.61% forest area which exceeds the national average of 23%. However, the biodiversity rich status of this region may also be attributed to its higher tribal population. Jharkhand has 26.3% tribal population of the total population in the state belong to 32 different groups. Santal, Munda and Ho are the dominant tribal groups in this area. They protect and conserve the plant and animal diversity in the landscape through their religious belief system which encompasses the concept of totemism, sacred trees and groves. However, intrusion of modernization, commercialization and weakening of indigenous belief systems has raised serious concerns in the conservation and management of floral and faunal biodiversity. Religion is a potent tool to convince people; hence their religious values and associated taboos must be protected against erosion

Title: Participation in multi-level policy implementation: exploring the influence of governance culture
Abstract: 
 In environmental governance, participatory modes of political decision-making and planning are becoming more prevalent. A rationalist model of governance would assume that instrumental rationales prevail in choosing participatory process designs. Some argue, however, that public policy-makers also follow administrative or governance ‘culture’. The concept of participatory governance culture assumes that historically grown institutional traditions, rationales and routines predetermine administrative practice. This paper empirically maps whether differences in participatory approaches can be explained by variation in participatory governance cultures. We study participatory governance in implementing the participatory provisions of three EU environmental directives in German federal states. Results indicate that although statutory requirements play a role in implementation process design, state-specific patterns can be observed. Studying participatory governance cultures seems viable to (1) enrich the theory of participatory planning through greater attention to governance cultures and to (2) offer an explanatory model on variation in implementation processes within one policy field.

Title: From self-sufficient provision of water and energy to regenerative urban development and sustainability: exploring the potentials in Mashhad City, Iran
Abstract: 
 Increased resource demand due to rapid urbanization has made cities like Mashhad highly dependent on their surroundings for resource supply and waste disposal, and has negatively impacted their local-regional hinterlands. To reduce the metabolic footprint of cities and create an environmentally restorative relationship between cities and their supporting ecosystems, a transition toward local alternative and renewable sources is essential. This paper explores potentials for water and energy self-sufficient provision in Mashhad using the Urban Harvesting method to practically illustrate how cities could seek opportunities to meet their needs within their boundaries before relying on external supplies. Results showed that solar photovoltaic and biogas could provide 4495.2 and 472.6 GWh/yr electricity, altogether enabling Mashhad to offset 100% of its consumption. Water cascading and recycling have the potential to meet 72% of the demand, and replace around 125 mcm/yr of imported water. Similarly, water self-sufficiency would increase by 5%–8% (8.6–14.7 mcm/yr) when collecting rainwater from rooftops.

Title: Attributes of effective national partnerships for environmental challenges – managing ozone-depleting and synthetic greenhouse gases in Australia
Abstract: 
 The magnitude and consequences of current global environmental challenges require partnerships across sectors and scales. Accordingly, there is a need to learn from partnerships that have been effective. This article analyses a successful national partnership that is contributing to implementation of the Montreal Protocol. It uses a case study methodology that draws on expert views from industry, government, and science, and contributes to the literature on partnerships in several ways. First, it highlights the relevance of insights from science-practice interfaces, and on institutions that can work across scales, for partnerships where knowledge is incomplete, and the challenges are dynamic. Second, it identifies five attributes of the successful multi-stakeholder partnership for Montreal Protocol sectors in Australia. While the wider applicability of these attributes needs testing, they are proposed for consideration by researchers and practitioners in partnerships where environmental challenges demand new knowledge and technologies, and systemic industrial practice change across scales.

Title: Farmland preservation policies in China and their impacts on urban expansion: a multilevel analysis
Abstract: 
 There has been limited research examining the impact of the top-down and quota-oriented farmland preservation policies on urban land expansion at the city level in China. This paper aims to narrow this gap, particularly focusing on the policies of prime farmland preservation quota and farmland conversion quota. A multilevel modeling approach was applied to examine the effects. The findings suggest that the two policies had limited effects. The limited effect of the two policies is rooted in the gaps between planning policy-making and implementation. Specifically, prefecture-level city-biased allocation of conversion and preservation quotas led to less restrictions on prefecture-level cities. The decoupling of annual quotas and land use planned quotas undermined the controlling effects on urban land expansion. Also, farmland conversion quotas incorporated into new plans were inconsistent. Additionally, insufficient capacity to monitor policy implementation, especially for prime farmland use, considerably weakened the potential effects.

Title: Localizing the sustainable development goals through an integrated approach in municipalities: early experiences from a Swedish forerunner
Abstract: 
 The 2030 Agenda and its SDGs call for cross-sectoral collaboration and societal transformation. Translating these indivisible goals to the local level is an important undertaking for municipalities given their wide range of responsibilities. This paper explores SDG localization in a Swedish municipal organization, providing analyses on management practice, having an integrated approach to sustainability. Based on document studies and interviews, it reflects experiences from an early phase of SDG localization. Having an integrated approach to SDG localization was shown to be dependent on aspects such as structure, leadership and coordination, yet simultaneously flexibility, organizational learning as well as time and timing. Such an integrated approach also comes with the challenge of operationalizing the SDGs into management systems, budgets and motivating employees across organizational silos and levels. The paper concludes that the SDG framework presents an opportunity for municipalities to understand and review their organizations through a broad systems perspective on sustainability.

Title: Exploring the importance of accounting for on-site sampling and heterogenous preferences simultaneously in estimating aggregate demand function for recreational fishing
Abstract: 
 Travel cost (TC) data are often collected on-site, raising the question of on-site sampling bias. In addition, the motivations behind visiting a recreational area are diverse and differ across individuals, with the potential implications that preferences for trips are heterogenous. This is particularly true for recreational fishing areas that include multiple sites and within which multiple fishing activities are pursued. Comparing four single-site negative binomial models, this paper shows the importance of accounting for on-site sampling and heterogenous preferences simultaneously. The magnitude of the bias resulting from addressing these two issues separately is examined in terms of variation in consumer surplus, predicted mean trip and price elasticity. The paper further proposes an empirical strategy that addresses the issue of missing income bias. This bias occurs when respondents who do not report their income are significantly different in terms of their trip behavior from those with an average income level.

Title: An approach to using the best-worst method for supporting sustainability reporting decision-making in SMEs
Abstract: 
 This paper proposes a novel methodological approach to help decision-makers in SMEs evaluate and prioritize sustainability reporting (SR) standards. It can thus help SMEs to overcome some of the problems they encounter when initiating SR. In order to explore this decision in more depth, a set of decision criteria are identified, reflecting the costs and benefits that could be derived from SR adoption. The methodological approach proposed is based on the best-worst multi-criteria decision-making method and is tested on a sample of Spanish SMEs. The results highlight the relevance of SR for the legitimacy and reputation of the firm, with GRI ranking first among the SR alternatives. This research helps to strengthen the link between academia and business, by developing a tool with which firms can select a reporting standard. This is especially relevant for SMEs given their relevant role in national economies and their general failure to disclose such information.

Title: Participatory multi-objective optimization for planning dense and green cities
Abstract: 
 The consideration of urban ecosystem services becomes increasingly important when planning compact cities. We implement a multi-objective optimization approach to support decision-makers in their efforts to develop green and dense cities. Embedded in a participatory process, the applied genetic algorithm allows us to assess spatial tradeoffs between urban ecosystem services and compactness. The optimization model is embedded in a decision support system for interactive analysis and communication of the results, facilitating the engagement of planners to support sustainable development. We illustrate the process in a multi-level case study in Singapore, a tropical city state aiming to pursue its distinct greening strategy. The whole process, from the problem definition to the obtained solution set, is evaluated using a feedback loop with stakeholders. Using this approach, we identify robust and best-suited urban development locations as well as temporal prioritization schemes evolving around future public transportation nodes.

Title: Recognizing dimensions of sustainability entrepreneurship among local producers of agricultural inputs
Abstract: 
 The present research aimed at designing a model of sustainability-oriented responsible entrepreneurship among local producers of agricultural inputs. The paper highlights causal, contextual, and intervening conditions for sustainability entrepreneurship among these local producers. In addition, the necessary action strategies are provided to develop sustainability-oriented responsible entrepreneurship. The consequences of agricultural input production are also illustrated based on the insight of sustainability-oriented responsible entrepreneurship. The research population was composed of knowledge-intensive businesses working on pesticide production in Iran. They were sampled using the purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was interviews in the qualitative phase and a questionnaire in the quantitative phase. The qualitative data were analyzed by grounded theory in three steps of open, axial, and selective coding, and the sustainability-oriented responsible entrepreneurship model was derived. The results show that sustainability-oriented responsible entrepreneurship is composed of contextual conditions (e.g. the values and understanding of the society, training, and the role of media), causal conditions (e.g. entrepreneurial attitude and passion, higher demand, and specific diseases), and intervening conditions (e.g. international sanctions, support by the government and other institutions, and the development of technical and technological infrastructure). Also, the strategies of sustainability-oriented responsible entrepreneurship include increasing production capacity, matching national and global regulations, assessing environmental considerations, creating an entrepreneurial culture, and strengthening scientific research and international cooperation. These strategies will have extensive implications at the level of individuals (e.g. motivation), families (e.g. improvement of physical and mental health), and society (e.g. creating employment and value-added and developing sustainability-oriented entrepreneurship in the agricultural inputs domain). It was found in the quantitative phase that the model of sustainability-oriented responsible entrepreneurship was well fitted.

Title: Environmental management practices and financial performance: evidence from large listed Indian enterprises
Abstract: 
 Large enterprises have been at the forefront of environmental management with active participation in industrywide programs and adoption of a ‘beyond compliance’ approach. The present study revisits the premise of environmental–financial linkage in an Indian context with a focus on large listed enterprises. We develop a comprehensive dataset of 459 large listed Indian companies covering major manufacturing and service sectors of the economy over an eleven-year period from 2008–09 to 2018–19. Static and dynamic regression models are used to gauge the impact of environmental management practices on firm profitability (Return on Assets and Return on Equity) and market valuation (Tobin Q, Market to Book Value Ratio and Excess Valuation to sales ratio). Empirical results suggest a positive impact of environmental management on firm profitability and market valuation. These results are of interest to corporate and policy makers for recognizing the financial implications of corporate environmental management.

Title: The conditions of emergence of cooperation to prevent the risk of diffuse pollution from agriculture: a case study comparison from France
Abstract: 
 Groundwater resources are essential for the supply of drinking water in the European Union but significant uncertainties surround their quality. In this context, our article analyzes the factors that influence the cooperation of key stakeholders to prevent the risk of diffuse pollution from agriculture. We built on the institutional rational choice approach and the social-ecological system framework to design our analytical framework and hypotheses. We applied this analytical framework to two cases of cooperation involving drinking water suppliers and farmers in the management of the risk of non-point source pollution from agriculture in France. Our results show that cooperation emerges when the water resource is important for water suppliers to take on the leadership. Our results also characterize the role played by uncertainties and risk in getting stakeholders involved, and finally, suggest that cooperation depends on the size and predictability of the resource system.

Title: The scale boundary of urbanized population with peaking PM2.5 concentration: a spatial panel econometric analysis of China’s prefecture-level and above cities
Abstract: 
 In view of China’s rapid urbanization for decades and its environmental effects, this paper focused on the impact of urbanization on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration, and estimated the definitive urbanized population whose PM2.5 concentration reached the peak according to the comparison of classical static/dynamic spatial econometric models. The estimation results of 227 prefecture-level cities and municipalities directly under the central government covering the period 1998–2016 show that the spatial spillover effect is statistically significant, while the exogenous effect stands out in the dynamic spatial Durbin model. In terms of the relationship between urbanized population and PM2.5 concentration, the cities themselves and the exogenous influences from other neighboring cities are U-shaped and inverted U-shaped with urbanized population at the inflection point that 3.77 million and 1.77 million, respectively. Moreover, the exogenous effects occupy the mainstream position, indicating that the PM2.5 concentration of prefecture-level cities mostly comes from the input of surrounding cities. It is proven in this paper that a moderate scale of population urbanization is an important factor in haze control, which should be accompanied by joint governance and coordination of urban agglomeration.

Title: Understanding the role of emotions in consumer adoption of electric vehicles: the mediating effect of perceived value
Abstract: 
 Emotions are generally considered to be important elements of consumer behavior, but little research has investigated the link between emotions and consumers’ adoption behavior relating to electric vehicles (EVs). To address this gap, this study examines the roles of emotions in EV adoption intention by focusing on pride and guilt and explores the impact of perceived value on these causal processes. We proposed a research model and empirically tested it using 405 survey responses collected from China. The structural equation modeling analysis results indicate that both pride and guilt significantly affect EV adoption intention, and the effect of pride is stronger than that of guilt. Perceived value mediates the relationships between emotions and EV adoption behavior. We also found differences between men and women. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of the role of emotions in consumers’ EV adoption behavior, and provide recommendations for the promotion of EVs.

Title: Disagreeing with ‘local agreement’: a survey of public attitudes toward restarting the Hamaoka nuclear power plant
Abstract: 
 The resumption of Japan’s NPPs has become a controversial issue since the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011. Although local agreement is a significant process of the resumption, the attitude of the general public toward the local agreement process has received little attention. This study uses a postal questionnaire survey with stratified random sampling to investigate the case of the Hamaoka NPP. Results show that the conventional way of seeking local agreement is not generally supported by the public. This may be explained by apparent widespread support for the participation of broader geographical areas, including those affected by reputational damage and urban areas consuming electricity, and by a general distrust of local governments/assemblies and the ‘experts’. It was also found that respondent attitudes regarding local agreement differ depending on the respondent’s position on the restart as well as the area in which the respondent resides.

Title: An empirical study of consumer purchase intention for responsible enterprises in Chile
Abstract: 
 Although there have been many studies on responsible enterprises, they have been mostly conducted in high-income societies and focused on organizational issues. Scant research has addressed consumer preferences for responsible enterprises, particularly in less developed regions. This study addresses this gap by examining the antecedents of consumer purchase intentions for products and services from responsible enterprises in Chile, a Latin American country. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), a conceptual model is developed, and hypotheses are tested with structural equation modeling (SEM). Data was collected from 200 Chilean consumers of B-Corps, a type of responsible enterprise. The findings reveal four main drivers that are related to consumers’ intention to purchase from responsible enterprises in Chile: (1) consumer attitude toward purchasing from responsible enterprises, (2) perceived behavioral control, (3) consumer involvement in responsible enterprises, and (4) consumer environmental consciousness. These results show that the main drivers of purchase intention for these firms are mostly related to consumer personal values and intrinsic motivations of being responsible with society and the environment. The findings of this study offer valuable insights to the literature on environmental management and are also useful for managers of responsible enterprises, B-Corps and public policymakers.

Title: Diverse distributed renewable energy trading paradigms: a business model review
Abstract: 
 There are diverse distributed Renewable Energy (RE) trading business models (BM) which enable consumer-prosumer/generator energy trading; however, their efficiency and effectiveness in creating a stable RE market with enhanced economic values are not properly investigated. This paper intends to investigate the impact of diverse distributed RE trading paradigms on creating a stable RE market with enhanced economic values for multiple stakeholders. A comprehensive literature review is carried out to identify different distributed RE trading BMs and the “business model canvas” is used to analyze their characteristics. The findings identified that the ICT-based peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed RE trading has more technical, economic, and social benefits in comparison to other BMs. With the use of ICT applications such as blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT) and smart distribution applications, P2P distributed RE trading provides a unique service environment consisting of preference-based trading, distributed market control, automated trading, and customer involvement in price determination.

Title: Environmental policies in the presence of more than one externality and of strategic firms
Abstract: 
 We first study the optimality of a committed policy mix of tax and subsidy to control pollution when firms are involved in abatement technology R&D that is subject to knowledge spillovers. Then a comparison of tax and subsidy is provided when the policy mix is not available and the regulator can use only one single policy. Two different behavioral assumptions for the firms are examined: when firms are myopic, and when they are strategic, i.e. react to the ex-ante committed policies strategically. The results suggest that using a policy mix the committed regulator can attain optimality if firms are myopic, however, a strategic reaction from the firms may compromise the efficiency of the policy mix. We also show that when the policy mix is not available to the regulator and they have to commit to only one single policy, then tax policy may have some advantages over subsidy. Moreover, our results suggest that unlike the policy mix, the single policy is more effective in the case of strategic firms rather than myopic ones.

Title: International progress in cumulative effects assessment: a review of academic literature 2008–2018
Abstract: 
 This paper discusses trends in recent academic literature on cumulative effects assessment (CEA) in the field of environmental impact assessment (IA). We performed an inductive, thematic analysis of peer-reviewed literature published between 2008 and 2018. We find that most academic research on CEA originates in North America, and much of it is situated in periodicals other than the leading IA journals. There is agreement that CEA is still not well understood conceptually and there remains a need for procedural guidance as support for practitioners. Support for regional and strategic approaches to CEA remains strong. Our review of the literature also shows that, increasingly, researchers advocate estimating relative ecosystem vulnerability to anthropogenic activities by aggregating stressors and differentiating the most heavily disturbed valued components and impact zones. The paper concludes with our suggestions to strengthen CEA scholarship globally.

Title: Exploring the heterogeneity in relationship between heat exposure and land development in Mumbai, India: a framework to address urban vulnerability in developing megacities
Abstract: 
 Informal settlements in developing megacities are often vulnerable to extreme heat and other environmental hazards. Yet, understanding of this vulnerability remains limited due to inadequate attention to the relationships between characteristics of the built environment and land surface temperature. To address this, we focus on the Mumbai region and employ a Geographically Development-Weighted Regression model that can link land surface temperature with datasets that can capture key characteristics of the built environment, particularly formal or informal settlement types and infrastructure quality. We find the existence of spatial heterogeneity in these relationships suggesting that informal settlements are correlated with higher land surface temperatures, especially under low development conditions. We also find that this effect grows with settlement size, and that the growth in these settlements would increase land surface temperature. We conclude with some guidance for planners and policymakers.

Title: Analyzing urban environmental justice based on supply, demand, and access to cooling ecosystem services in Tehran, Iran
Abstract: 
 Given the important role of environmental amenities such as ecosystem services on human well-being, this study investigates the unfair distribution of access to urban cooling ecosystem services in Tehran in order to examine urban environmental justice through the following methodological steps: (1) mapping socio-economic inequality through eleven indicators reflecting socio-economic status ranked by TOPSIS, (2) exploring urban land surface temperature (LST) by applying the mono-window algorithm, (3) estimating canopy cover, and (4) applying distributional justice dimensions through demand, supply, and access to urban cooling ecosystem services. The results revealed that urban cooling ecosystem service demand was high in districts with lower socio-economic status ranking. Cooling ecosystem service supply was high in northern districts with higher socio-economic status. This study indicates that residents of Tehran are confronting urban injustice in terms of the distribution pattern of urban cooling ecosystem services.

Title: Financial inclusion and green economic efficiency: evidence from China
Abstract: 
 Financial inclusion is crucial to a country’s competitiveness while green economy emerges as a policy priority along the sustainable development path, but how will they interact? This study examines the relationship between the two in the context of China, which is on the transition to a green economy based on city level data for 2011–2015. A multidimensional measurement of financial inclusion is established by considering the rapidly developing digital finance, and the measurement of green economic efficiency by applying the MinDW model. Results indicate that the development of financial inclusion can enhance green economic efficiency, which is mainly realized through the strengthening of the credit constraints on high-polluting firms. The findings provide further implications for implementing a financial development policy and maintain a balanced relationship between the government, financial institutions, and firms.

Title: Effect of protected areas on forest crimes in Brazil
Abstract: 
 Forest crimes are a sparsely researched topic. There is ample evidence that protected areas play a role in lessening deforestation in the developing world, but their relationship to forest crimes is unknown. We examine the coastal municipalities of São Paulo State, Brazil to identify what role protected areas play in the incidence of forest crimes, using a series of regression models. Our findings provide support for a positive and significant relationship between protected areas and forest crime, likely due to increased opportunities for the commission of crimes, enhanced environmental monitoring and enforcement, and the reduction of legally exploitable forest areas. In addition, education levels were significant in contributing to increased forest crimes. The implications of our results are discussed in the context of public policy as well as forest crime prevention initiatives. While protected areas appear to contribute to a higher incidence of forest crimes in coastal São Paulo State.

Title: A framework for assessing the contribution of UK local authorities toward compliance with the EU ambient air quality directive
Abstract: 
 Implementation outcomes of the Ambient Air Quality Directive (AAQD) (2008/50/EC)) are weak across European Union (EU) member states. In the UK, Local Authorities (LAs) must work toward reducing air pollution, however, means of assessing the extent and effectiveness of their contribution are limited. This paper develops a framework to evaluate policies implemented by UK LAs to address air pollution and applies it to Air Quality Action Plans (AQAP) of five cities. It looks at how, and the extent to which, LA air quality policies align with AAQD requirements, thus advancing empirical and academic knowledge on implementation literature surrounding multi-level governance, specifically the policy disconnect between the AAQD and UK Local Air Quality Management (LAQM). The application of the framework shows how LAs can better integrate AQAPs into their LAQM plans to assess, develop, improve and implement their air quality policies on the ground.

Title: Unearthing consumers’ intention to adopt eco-friendly smart home services: an extended version of the theory of planned behavior model
Abstract: 
 Eco-friendly smart home services (ESHS) positively promote environmental protection. In this study, we investigate the factors influencing consumers’ intention toward adopting ESHS. We use the theory of planned behavior as the basic theoretical support and further extend it by incorporating the constructs of information publicity, perceived risk, environmental consciousness, and compatibility. We survey a total of 587 respondents by using an online questionnaire and further analyze the collected data with a structural equation model. Results indicate that attitude, perceived behavioral control, information publicity, environmental consciousness, and compatibility exert significant and positive effects on consumers’ intention to adopt ESHS. By contrast, perceived risk is the barrier to adopting ESHS. However, subjective norm surprisingly does not affect consumers’ intention to adopt ESHS. On the basis of these results, we discuss some implications for smart home service providers to motivate other consumers to adopt such eco-friendly services.

Title: Pollution halo or pollution haven: assessing the role of foreign direct investment on energy conservation and emission reduction
Abstract: 
 This paper uses spatial econometric and the threshold effect models to study the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China’s energy conservation and emissions reduction. We use provincial-level data on pollutants (CO2, wastewater emission, exhaust emission, and waste emission) available from 2001 to 2015. Results indicated that FDI not only promotes China’s “energy conservation,” but also improves China’s CO2 emission efficiency and environmental efficiency. We find that export-oriented foreign companies can significantly improve China’s energy efficiency and water quality. FDI enhances energy efficiency through eco-oriented technological progress and water quality, air quality through production-oriented technological progress. We also find that the impact of FDI on China’s energy conservation and emission reduction has significant threshold effects. Our findings contradict the often believed “pollution haven hypothesis.”

Title: A dissipative structure theory-based investigation of a construction and demolition waste minimization system in China
Abstract: 
 Construction and demolition (C&D) waste minimization is an important strategy for addressing waste management challenges. Generally, C&D waste minimization is a complex and open system involving various interrelated processes, elements and stakeholders. Previous studies have investigated internal factors of the system, but neglected effects of external factors and interactions between internal and external factors. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate China’s C&D waste minimization system from the perspectives of integrity and dynamics. Based on the dissipative structure theory, the paper examines whether China’s C&D waste minimization system is a dissipative structure, given that a dissipative structure system can transform itself from disordered state to ordered state spontaneously through interactions among the inherent subsystems and elements involved. Firstly, 28 factors influencing waste minimization are identified. Secondly, the Brusselator model and entropy methods are adopted for empirical analysis with the data collected by questionnaire survey. The findings reveal that China’s current C&D waste minimization system is not a dissipative structure; consequently, the development of the system cannot form a macroscopic stable and orderly structure through self-organization. Accordingly, suggestions are proposed to effectively promote the C&D waste minimization system toward a dissipative structure. The findings are expected to enhance the C&D waste minimization system through forming a dissipative structure and consequently achieving orderly and coordinated system development.

Title: Do formal and informal institutions matter for firm-level strategic environmental actions? A multi-level perspective from Jordan
Abstract: 
 We developed an overarching multi-level mediation model using 199 responses from 53 companies from the industrial sector in Jordan to examine (1) the mediation effect of firm-level environmental climate on the relationship between formal regulatory institutions and firm-level strategic environmental actions, and (2) the role that informal institutions conveyed via political, normative, and business connections plays on the environment-related cognitions of top managers. At the ‘within’ level, our results indicate that top managers with strong political connections develop negative environment-related cognitions while those with strong normative and business connections develop positive environment-related cognitions. At the firm-level, our results reveal that firm-level environmental climate – as an aggregated measure of the ‘within’ level environmental cognitions of top managers – fully mediates the relationship between formal regulatory institutions and firm-level strategic environmental actions. This study demonstrates how multilevel research is used to enrich understanding of firm-level strategic environmental actions, with implications beyond Jordan.

Title: A GIS-based multiple ecotourism sustainability assessment of West Azerbaijan province, Iran
Abstract: 
 Ecotourism is a major tourism dimension that has received significant attention in recent years. It is widely known that the tourism industry, and in particular ecotourism, makes a significant contribution to sustainable development. In this context, the West Azerbaijan province is one of most important tourist destinations in Iran for attracting tourists interested in nature. The main purpose of this study was to analyze and map the potential for sustainable ecotourism development. The research methodology was developed based on GIS multi-criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) techniques, using 28 spatial indicators. For this purpose, areas with the potential for attracting tourists were identified and the effective factors for increasing and decreasing tourism development activities were evaluated by GIS analysis. The method used as a multi-criteria spatial decision-making technique is based on the network analysis process and its combination with fuzzy logic is very effective for increasing the accuracy of the model and obtaining more realistic results. According to the results of this study, West Azerbaijan, due to its potential, including some areas unknown to tourists and even tourism planners, could be introduced as a nature tourism hub in the northwest of the country. The detailed tourism sustainability map obtained, at the scale of 1/25,000, could be used as a basis for regional planning and sustainable ecotourism development. In this context, the results could also be critical for tourism companies, agencies and local stakeholders and organizations for various applications, such as investment and development of tourism hospitality facilities and infrastructure in high potential areas. The research can also be considered as progressive in tourism research and supports future research on the selection of beneficial criteria and the application of efficient methods for tourism sustainability assessment and mapping.

Title: Application of stated-preferences methods and neuroscience for the valuation of dynamicity in forest cultural ecosystem services
Abstract: 
 In this study, we combined virtual reality and electroencephalogram (EEG) methods in a lab setting to evaluate the restorative effects of forests on the mental state. In doing so, we compared forests in different vegetative seasons, varying types of forest stands, and forest densities. Twenty participants were exposed to videos of forests with different tree species compositions and cover densities across two seasons. At the same time, participants were monitored with an EEG device that recorded brain waves associated with the emotional mental state to understand varying levels of restoration associated with the different forest species. The EEG analysis was coupled with a self-rated measure of restoration, collected using the Restoration Outcome Scale and visual indexes of greenness. The results indicated that restorative effects were higher in summer season with high-density cover of forests composed of black pine. It was also found that restoration was affected by the degree of greenness, as suggested by its correlation with brain waves. These results, integrated with future suggestions for improvement, can be useful for forest management and territorial marketing to design dedicated forested areas for the purposes of restoration and the enhancement of mood state.

Title: Is “consideration of alternatives” in project level environmental impact assessment studies in developing countries an eyewash: an Indian case-study
Abstract: 
 Consideration of alternatives for a development project, with the prime objective of selecting the most appropriate alternative that supports sustainability of the environmental resources, should be the heart of an EIA study. This study was undertaken to examine how alternatives were addressed in 46 EIA reports for infrastructural projects accorded environmental clearance in India, adopting the yardsticks used by Sadler for evaluating effectiveness and criteria-based evaluation. The EIA process considers alternatives superficially and the terms of reference lack emphasis on a wide range of reasonable alternatives, even for potentially controversial and large projects. Radical improvements are needed in the EIA process through a core legislated scoping, and transparent and rigorous appraisal of proposals right from “upstream” through “downstream” of project life-cycle. The capacity building of professionals associated with the EIA process on the structured methodologies for identification, development, and analysis of reasonable alternatives should help meet the EIA objectives.

Title: Urban sprawl and desertification risk: unraveling the latent nexus in a mediterranean country
Abstract: 
 The Mediterranean region is exposed to desertification risk because of the joint impact of soil degradation, land-use change and global warming, although the individual role of such drivers has been occasionally investigated. The present study clarifies the spatial linkage between desertification risk and urbanization, intended as a pervasive form of landscape transformation in Southern Europe, by analyzing trends over time in the Environmentally Sensitive Area Index (1960–2010) at different settlement densities in Italy. Seven density classes, representing a vast range of local contexts from pristine, natural sites to peri-urban conditions with moderate (or high) human pressure, were considered. While land surface with medium-high settlement density increased between 1960 and 2010, reflecting semi-dense urban growth (1960–1990) and settlement sprawl (1990–2010), the spatial distribution and extent of land sensitive to desertification in Italy followed more complex dynamics over both time and space. Divergences in the level of desertification risk along the settlement density gradient increased markedly in 1990 and 2010. The highest level of risk was observed for land with intermediate settlement density, representing economically dynamic rural contexts with high (and possibly increasing) human pressure. Despite some exceptions, a lower level of risk was observed in urban and peri-urban areas with denser settlements. The spatially asymmetric increase in the level of desertification risk contributed to alter the polarization in affected and non-affected areas characteristic of early-1960s Italy. A rising impact of settlement density on desertification risk has been recorded in more recent years. Based on the empirical results of this study, National Action Plans to combat desertification in Mediterranean Europe are definitely required to incorporate specific measures of urban containment and mitigation of the negative effect of sprawl on land degradation at a local scale.

Title: When tensions become conflicts: wind turbine policy implementation and development in the Netherlands
Abstract: 
 Governments all over the world experience institutional conflicts in transforming their fossil-based energy system into a more renewable one. Between national, regional, and local tiers of government tensions rise on meeting renewable energy objectives. Under the institutional arrangement of subsidiarity, decisions on renewable energy policy objectives are taken on the international level, while the implementation of policy increasingly becomes a local responsibility. In this paper, we use an institutional framework to analyze the tensions in interactions between tiers of governments on four cases of Dutch wind energy policy implementation. The analysis offers insights into how tensions emerge in top-down wind energy policy implementation in the Netherlands. Within the four cases, tensions between government tiers are found, serving to constrain local tiers of government to implement local policy and object to top-down development. The results indicate that local issues aren’t sufficiently addressed in higher-tier government policies.

Title: Green core competencies to prompt green absorptive capacity and bolster green innovation: the moderating role of organization’s green culture
Abstract: 
 China’s tourism industry is under transition towards sustainable tourism. This study’s primary purpose is to propose a novel framework that green core competence enhances the tourism industry’s green absorptive capacity and green innovation performance. Additionally, green absorptive capacity mediates the relationship between green core competence and green innovation. And finally, green organizational culture moderates the relationship between green absorptive capacity and green innovation. Data were collected from different hotels and restaurants in the North East of China, practicing environmentally friendly green practices through convenient sampling. The PLS-SEM technique was used to test each hypothesis. The results showed that green core competence positively and significantly affects green innovation performance, and green absorptive capacity mediates the relationship between green core competencies and green innovation performance. Moreover, green organizational culture partially moderates the relationship between green absorptive capacity and green innovation.

Title: Robust municipal decision making? A pilot study of applying robust decision making in three Swedish municipalities
Abstract: 
 The growing understanding of the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events due to climate change demands action. Locally, measures to adapt must be taken without knowing exactly what will happen, where it will happen or what the consequences will be. To meet this need, a number of decision support tools have been developed and this article investigates how municipalities can implement Robust Decision support in their urban planning. Interviews with respondents from the municipalities were conducted. After this a series of workshops were held, where an RDM method was used on local situations and follow-up interviews assessed the success and potential of the tool. Results suggest that the process addresses uncertainty, encourages bottom-up approaches and provides a tool for creating adaptive pathways in a clear and concise manner. Despite these promising findings, the success of implementation on a broader scale is seen as limited due to organizational factors.

Title: Nature exposure and use of open spaces in three generation families: implications for planning
Abstract: 
 Who uses open spaces, when, and why, are critical questions for planning and managing green and blue spaces in urban areas. We argue that use needs to be studied across a range of ages and spaces. We studied the open space use and preferences of 15 three-generation families, interviewing children, parents and grandparents. Members of each family lived close to each other so had access to the same open spaces, enabling identification of generational and family differences. Nature exposure levels varied between and within families, but all families valued and used natural spaces. Family members selected common spaces suggesting a family based preference and evidence of transmission of family values and attachment to places. Preferred open spaces were located some distance from participants’ homes and unevenly distributed across the city. Planners will need to consider how to better provide multi-purpose natural open spaces spread more evenly across the city.

Title: A measurement of community seismic resilience in sub-city districts of Mashhad, Iran
Abstract: 
 Communities that are more resilient to seismic hazards are often able to retain their functions in a time of crisis and experience faster recovery. This study develops a holistic approach for assessing community seismic resilience in thirteen sub-city districts of Mashhad. Three resilience properties (robustness, resourcefulness, and redundancy) are matched with six community resilience dimensions to construct a Community Seismic Resilience Index (CSRI). The aim of CSRI is to quantify districts’ coping capacities to mitigate the adverse impacts of a hazard, and their adaptive capacities to recover in an efficient and timely manner. The geography of CSRI suggests that there is a division between the east and the west of the city that builds a pattern of spatially segregated resilience to seismic hazards. Based on the findings, urban policies should be directed toward enhancing the robustness of communities and building redundancy into institutional/managerial systems in order to build more resilient communities.

Title: Assessing the influence of individual factors on visual and auditory preference for rural landscape: the case of Chengdu, China
Abstract: 
 The fast pace of work life has resulted in increased attention toward the rural landscape. Most research on rural landscapes has focused on visual preferences based on public consensus, but in-depth studies assessing a broad range of individual factors influencing visual and auditory preferences are still lacking. This study assessed the influence of 6 social/demographic/health factors and 7 visit-related factors on the preference for 11 visual and auditory elements of rural environments. Visit-related factors had a more significant impact on landscape preference than social/demographical/health factors. Length of stay was the most important factor, associated with 5 visual elements and 4 sounds. Females and older people showed greater preference for biological sounds. Thus, it is necessary to pay attention to the influence of individual factors on landscape preference and strengthen the support of rural internal and external environment to people’s needs to provide more rich and satisfying experiences in rural areas.

Title: Completing the climate change adaptation planning cycle: monitoring and evaluation by local government in Australia
Abstract: 
 Local governments are at the forefront of climate change adaptation planning. Although there is significant research on adaptation planning processes, there is scant empirical evidence of how local governments are completing the adaptation planning cycle by monitoring or evaluating their efforts. This leads to a fundamental lack of understanding about what actions work, in which contexts, and why? This article explores the practice of monitoring and evaluation of adaptation by local government, drawing on data from a national survey of Australian local governments, enhanced by interviews with selected respondents. It finds that monitoring and evaluation of climate change adaptation is challenging for local governments. Monitoring efforts focus on tracking implementation of actions, and evaluation of adaptation plans and projects is rare. It argues that for effective adaptation planning and learning, greater attention needs to be paid to building evaluative capacity of local governments to complete the adaptation planning cycle.

Title: Enhancing traditional floodwater governance for inclusive and resilient flood-based livelihood systems in Tana river floodplains, Kenya
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the effectiveness of traditional water governance in Flood-based Livelihood Systems (FBLS), which harness floods that could have caused environmental degradation. Ostrom’s Governing the Commons Principles, widely recognized for the effective management of shared resources, is used as a framework. The paper draws from discussions with 300 farmers and pastoralists in Tana River FBLS, the oldest traditional system in Kenya. The traditional floodwater governance does not satisfy Ostrom's Principles and livelihood needs. Small-scale farmers and pastoralists frequently experience floodwater scarcity while large-scale farmers use excessive floods often causing waterlogging. This floodwater sharing disparity generates conflicts and threatens small-scale farmers’ and pastoralists’ livelihoods. Large-scale farmers are primarily concerned with inadequate floodwater management infrastructure that hampers maximizing their harvest. For increased sustainability and equity, fairer floodwater sharing systems and enforcing institutions should be introduced before infrastructural development. These lessons from Tana River can contribute to a larger livelihood potential for flood-based agriculture globally.

Title: Managing boundaries over time in integrative planning processes. A process analysis of boundary work in two cases of multifunctional land use
Abstract: 
 Measures that integrate social, economic and ecologic land use functions have increasingly raised the interest of scholars and practitioners concerned with sustainability. However, achieving effective integration involves important governance challenges. One challenge is that actors need to work across social, cognitive and physical boundaries. This article studies how actors span, but also challenge, defend and construct boundaries over time during integrative processes, and what temporal sequences of boundary actions help to realize effective integration. It does so with a comparative longitudinal analysis of two cases of Multifunctional Land Use. We find three main patterns: First, to bridge boundaries, they first need to be created, strengthened and explicated, whilst also connecting actors where possible. Second, after a period of spanning and challenging, reconstructing boundaries can help to keep the process manageable, provide safety and maintain autonomy. Third, challenging boundaries is often necessary to realize integration, even when this stirs up conflicts and internal discussions.

Title: Modes of solid waste management and household health outcomes
Abstract: 
 Poorly managed waste impacts negatively on water bodies and the atmosphere; and may limit the quality of human life. This study evaluates the effect of waste management on health outcomes, using nationally representative data of 16,772 households in Ghana. I employ the endogenous switching regression (ESR) and maximum simulated likelihood (MSL) techniques to respectively control for the endogeneity in waste management and also account for the heterogeneity effect in the modes of waste management. The results show that the private mode of waste management reduces the log number of days hospitalized due to ill-health and log of total household health expenditure per AEU by −1.56 and −2.48, respectively. The differential analysis indicates that while prompt collection of waste improves health outcomes, burning and indiscriminate dumping exacerbate health outcomes. The results of the study support the need to increase awareness and formulate sustainable strategies that prioritize waste management to enhance environmental quality.

Title: The orchestration of sustainable mobility service innovations: understanding the manifold agency of car sharing operators
Abstract: 
 Service-based alternatives to private vehicles and public transport are increasing. These innovations are hoped to boost the transition to sustainable mobility, addressing challenges such as congestion, air quality and the large share of CO2 resulting from traffic. To achieve this transition, there is an urgent need for collaboration between private companies and public authorities, especially locally. We claim that insufficient attention is paid to the agencies of the practical actors, such as car sharing operators, which is the key to understanding what this collaboration requires. Orchestrating the collaboration successfully is also a prerequisite for the sustainability of the services. We use interview data from car sharing operators and public authorities in Finnish cities to analyze the local-level implementation of shared mobility services. Our results show how the local public authorities play a crucial role in allowing the services to flourish but also ensure the services’ environmental and social sustainability.

Title: Visualizing fairness: distributional equity of urban green spaces for marginalized groups
Abstract: 
 Previous environmental justice studies of urban green spaces (UGSs) have typically focused on issues of race/ethnicity or income level in Western countries and given limited attention to other dimensions of social disadvantage in Asian countries. To address this research gap, we examined distributional equity/inequity of UGSs among senior citizens living alone, single-mother families, individuals with disability, and basic livelihood security recipients in Seoul, South Korea. A geographically weighted regression was employed via a case study of 424 Dong districts in Seoul. Findings showed spatially heterogeneous equitable and inequitable access to UGSs; solitary seniors and single-mother families were more likely to experience inequitable access to UGSs, whereas people with disability and basic livelihood security recipients were more likely to have equitable access to UGSs. Seoul park management agencies could use the study findings to allocate resources for groups/regions that are in need of more access to UGSs.

Title: The cost of farmers’ administrative burdens due to cross-compliance obligations
Abstract: 
 Administrative burdens are transaction costs due to administrative activities conducted solely because of regulation requirements. Since the shift from market support to cross-compliance-based direct payments, farmers increasingly complain about substantial administrative burdens related to the direct payment scheme. Using data from a survey among 100 Swiss farmers, group comparisons and regression analyses revealed significant differences in working time requirements to meet cross-compliance information obligations across farm types. Dairy producers need significantly more working time than crop producers. The age and education of farmers were not found to affect time requirements. Applying the standard cost model, administrative burdens for all Swiss farmers were estimated to be 136 Mio CHF in 2018 and about 5% of the budget spent on direct payments was needed to cover these costs. Policy measures to reduce administrative burdens should focus on specialized dairy producers, which contribute 37% to the sectoral costs.

Title: Water/climate nexus environmental rural-urban migration and coping strategies
Abstract: 
 Rural-urban migration is a challenging issue for communities, and is influenced by interactions between numerous push and pull factors. To better understand the interacting drivers of rural-urban migration, the study investigates the factors which influence migration from rural areas in Sistan to Mashhad city in Iran. The investigation was conducted using questionnaires and deep interviews. The results show that the main reason for migration from Sistan to Mashhad is environmental degradation including drought and water scarcity, followed by economic and government operational plans for supporting rural people. However, some people stay in Sistan in spite of the current unpleasant environmental and economic conditions. The results demonstrated cultural and social factors as the main motivations for people remaining in villages. Since the factors could be more challenging under future global warming, adaptive participatory governance is needed to link civil society, authorities, scientists, and the land to develop nature-based and rural-urban migration solutions.

Title: Resilience plans in the US: an evaluation
Abstract: 
 Resilience is a framework that drives cities’ responses to climate change, evidenced by the increasing number of resilience plans that cities have adopted. Resilience plans can offer insights on how cities conceptualize resilience. We undertake a content analysis of 38 resilience plans of US cities to understand how they define resilience, conceptualize goals and implementation strategies, involve the public in their formulation, and address equity issues. We find that equity manifests in explicit and implicit ways throughout the plans but is rarely operationalized. Cities gather many social, environmental, physical and economic goals under the term resilience, which may imply a recognition of the complexity of urban systems but renders those goals ineffective. The majority of resilience plans advocate a quick return to a previous state in the face of a disturbance, forgoing the opportunity to take on the more transformative potential of the term towards a more equitable future.

Title: Review of the effectiveness of smallholder farmers’ adaptation to climate change and variability in developing countries
Abstract: 
 The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of adaptation. We reviewed and thematically synthesized 42 household-level studies published from 2000–2019 to explain how multiple processes interact to affect the effectiveness of adaptation. The findings show the positive impacts of adaptation in increasing crop yields and income, improving food security, and enhancing environmental protection. Not all adaptation strategies are effective, due partly to differences in sensitivity to climate problems, access to livelihood assets, diversification of adaptation strategies, and flexibility and cultural relevance of institutional support. For households with lower adaptive capacity, limited adaptation choices and reliance on climate-sensitive strategies fail to unshackle them from cyclical vulnerability. Improving adaptive capacity and facilitating diversified adaptation strategies are important to address the livelihood challenges of smallholder farmers. Understanding the complexities underlying the effectiveness of adaptation necessitates evaluation focusing on multidimensional livelihood outcomes to disentangle implications for sustainable livelihoods and socio-ecological resilience.

Title: Green innovation and China’s CO2 emissions – the moderating effect of institutional quality
Abstract: 
 China’s economy is faced with mounting pressure to reduce CO2 emissions. This study estimates the impact of green innovation and institutional quality on CO2 emissions, and examines the moderating effect of institutional quality. The results show that: (1) Green innovation significantly reduced CO2 emissions. Institutional quality has a negative moderating effect on the relationship between green innovation and CO2 emissions, such that when institutional quality is high, green innovation has a stronger reduction in CO2 emissions. (2) Green innovation significantly reduced CO2 emissions in the eastern and western regions. Moreover, as institutional quality improves, the reduction of CO2 emissions through green innovation increased in the western region. (3) Green innovation in 2013–2017 had a greater effect on CO2 emissions reduction than 2005–2012. Moreover, with the improvement of institutional quality, green innovation’s reduction of CO2 emissions in 2005–2012 was weakened, whereas the reduction of CO2 emissions by green innovation increased in 2013–2017.

Title: What factors contribute to conversion to organic farming? Consideration of the Health Belief Model in relation to the uptake of organic farming by Iranian farmers
Abstract: 
 Organic Farming (OF) is a response to challenges caused by conventional or intensive agriculture. Successful organic production depends on farmers choosing to grow organic products. The main goal of this study is to analyze and identify factors affecting farmers’ willingness to implement OF in southwest Iran. For this, we borrowed the health belief model (HBM) from the health psychology domain. The study, a questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey in Behbahan County, Khuzestan province, in southwest Iran, comprises 320 farmers who were selected through a multistage random sampling technique. The structural equations modeling reveals that four variables – cue to action, perceived barriers, general beliefs, and perceived benefits – account for 54% of the variance in farmers’ willingness toward OF. Furthermore, cue to action is the most important factor determining farmer willingness towards implementing OF. The results reveal that HBM has appropriate explanatory power and is an effective tool for investigating farmer willingness toward OF. It is suggested that government agencies use socio-psychological frameworks to develop organic agriculture. Additionally, as government agencies develop policies that increase OF, the consideration of how farmers perceive the benefits and barriers of implementing OF is critical, along with understanding their general beliefs and concerns about the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in conventional agriculture. Offering extension services is also key.

Title: Planning for sustainable urban food systems: an analysis of the up-scaling potential of vertical farming
Abstract: 
 Food production and consumption related environmental challenges have come to the forefront of policy discourse in the past decade. This links primarily to concerns in terms of agriculture fueling climate change, but also in terms of long-term food security and availability for growing populations. A proposed solution to these pressures at the urban scale is Vertical Farming (VF), in the understanding of this article, a high-yield form of controlled environment agriculture, staked on multiple layers, which promises to produce leafy greens and vegetables within cities, with potential to reduce the resource intensity of urban food production and consumption. The particular contextual conditions required for VF to be sustainable have not as of yet been holistically assessed. Accordingly, by analyzing these contextual conditions in the Global North, this research assesses how VF can be up-scaled for the sake of sustainability – particularly climate mitigation – by viewing urban food systems through the Multi-Level Perspective. The article presents three findings in relation to the up-scaling potential of VF. Firstly, singular VF interventions in cities should have further functions integrated at the scale of the farm for the sake of viability. Secondly, VF interventions carry the most potential for climate mitigation if they are viewed through urban-level systemic food planning, which sheds light on the contextual conditions needed for VF to contribute to sustainability. Finally, the globalized dynamics of the neoliberal political economy, and in turn the localized effects for food systems, have implications for VF that need to be taken into consideration in framing up-scaling policy.

Title: The political economy of industrial pollution control: environmental regulation in Swedish industry for five decades
Abstract: 
 The paper analyzes the prerequisites for a regulatory-driven transition toward radically lower air and water pollution in industry. This is achieved in the empirical context of the Swedish mining and metals industry, and by investigating the environmental licensing processes during two regulatory systems. The paper derives an analytical framework that explores under what circumstances such licensing processes can result in radical emissions reductions without seriously jeopardizing the competitiveness of the industry. Archived material covering six environmental licensing processes, three during each system, is used to illustrate the various design and implementation issues. The results suggest that regulatory-driven green transitions benefit from trust-based bargaining procedures in which companies are involved in repeated interactions with regulatory authorities, and which extended probation periods permit tests of novel abatement technologies (including innovation). The findings also illustrate the importance of abstaining from simplified normative notions about policy instrument choice (e.g. taxes versus standards).

Title: Investigating influencing factors on consumers’ choice behavior and their environmental concerns while purchasing green products in Pakistan
Abstract: 
 This study aims to investigate the influencing factors on consumers’ choice behavior for green products by applying the theory of consumption values in Pakistan. It also studied the mediating effects of consumers’ environmental concerns among the associations of multidimensional consumption values and choice behavior. The data was collected from the consumers of green products in four metropolitan cities of Punjab Province (e.g. Lahore, Islamabad, Multan, and Faisalabad) using a structured self-administered questionnaire. The random sampling technique was employed. Based on the 480 responses, the empirical findings revealed that functional value-quality, emotional value, conditional value, and epistemic value have a positive impact on consumers’ choice behavior and their environmental concerns. Contrary to this, the functional value-price, social value, and environmental concerns have a negative impact on consumers’ choice behavior. Relating to mediation, environmental concerns have partially mediated between the associations of functional value-quality, functional value-price, emotional value, epistemic value, and consumers’ choice behavior. Practitioners and managers can use the study findings to reach out to their target audiences to increase the consumption of green products in the mainstream market.

Title: Getting closer to SDG12: incorporating industrial ecology principles into project EIA
Abstract: 
 In gearing up environmental impact assessment (EIA) as a tool for achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 – ensuring sustainable consumption and production – the concept of industrial ecology (IE) can offer valuable innovations. IE urges the derivation of sustainable and innovative designs from nature. This contribution sought to explore how to operationalize IE within EIA, and to anticipate some foreseeable challenges. A narrative literature review was employed to synthesize prior research. The study suggests that the proposed approach may improve EIA’ potential to steer decisions toward SDG12 by strengthening the process’s theoretical, analytical, and participatory components. IE’s implications for EIA practice are discussed against five key challenges; human resource deficits, informational gaps, institutional barriers, financial resources gaps, and EIA systems’ malfunctions. The paper is expected to raise awareness, urge governments to mobilize their EIA systems to meet SDG targets and stimulate further research on the subject.

Title: SDGwashing: a critical view of the pursuit of SDGs and its relationship with environmental performance
Abstract: 
 The sustainable development goals (SDGs) provide a strategic vision and future-oriented plan that companies, regulators and society in general are challenged to face. However, companies’ contribution to the achievement of SDGs is questioned by some critical voices. In the business context, SDGwashing refers to positively pursuing a contribution to some SDGs while ignoring the negative impact of others. The objective of this research is to study whether there is an association between pursuing SDGs of a different nature and environmental performance. Are companies pursuing the more environmental-focused SDGs, the ones with better environmental performance, compared to companies pursuing more social-focused SDGs? Thus, this work examines whether multinationals that pursue more environmental-focused SDGs have a similar level of environmental performance to those that make efforts to pursue more social-oriented SDGs. This study analyzes whether SDGwashing exists in relation to environmental performance by studying its relationship with two relevant variables of literature on environmental management: outcome-based environmental performance (through GHG emissions) and process-based environmental performance (through CDP scoring). Using a sample of multinational firms listed on the FTSE 100 index, we applied an ANOVA test and logistic regression to show whether the pursuit of both more environmental-focused SDG and more social-focused SDGs was associated with environmental performance. The results of this study offer a significant contribution to academic literature on SDGs. Our findings show that the organizational profile of multinational companies that pursue more environmental-focused SDGs differs from the organizational profile of multinationals that are pursuing more social-oriented SDGs, in terms of environmental performance. This offers empirical evidence by showing that SDGwashing exists in international business.

Title: Factors influencing the simultaneous adoption of risk management instruments in Mediterranean irrigated agriculture
Abstract: 
 Agriculture is highly impacted by different sources of risk. There is a wide variety of management instruments that farmers can use to cover these risks. The objective of this article is to analyze the explanatory variables for the simultaneous adoption of a large set of risk management instruments. The main innovation is the methodological approach: first, we apply a hierarchical cluster analysis to identify the groups of instruments whose adoption is correlated; second, we use multivariate probit (MVP) models to analyze the influence of different factors on the simultaneous adoption of the instruments included in each cluster. The explanatory variables capture farmers’ socio-demographic features, risk aversion and subjective perception of past risk experience; farms’ technical-economic characteristics; and local-level climate change. The results reveal significant differences in the variables influencing the adoption of the risk management instruments. The findings can support farmers, risk management service providers, and policymakers.

Title: Multinational financial corporations and the sustainable development goals in developing countries
Abstract: 
 Multinational financial corporations are key to sustainability by implementing practices disclosed through sustainability reports. This is where research has been focused, leaving a gap concerning their sustainability foci on developing countries. This article studies the largest financial corporations from developed and emerging countries identifying the SDGs on which they focus in developing countries, the evolution of their contributions and differences in the SDGs, and where their focus is in the developing world. The largest multinational financial corporations were selected, their sustainability reports assessed, and mixed methods conducted finding that the foci of those from developed countries vary across SDGs, countries of origin, impacted developing countries, and since the launch of the SDGs. Findings highlight the SDGs on which financial corporations focus, with those from developed countries implementing more practices than those from emerging economies, and that the contributions of multinational financial corporations have not affected the progress of the SDGs.

Title: Effect of industrial transfer on carbon lock-in: a spatial econometric analysis of Chinese cities
Abstract: 
 To explore the potential effect of industrial transfer on carbon lock-in in China, this paper constructed the measurement formula of industrial transfer based on output and demand, and calculated carbon lock-in according to carbon sink and carbon emissions. By means of a spatial autoregressive model and a panel threshold model, we discussed the spatial spillover of carbon lock-in and the effect of industrial transfer. The findings are as follows: (1) The level of carbon lock-in does have a positive spatial spillover effect between economic neighboring provinces. (2) The effect of industrial transfer on carbon lock-in depends on industry characteristics. (3) Technological progress has direct and indirect carbon unlocking effects, energy structure, trade openness and increased fiscal expenditure exacerbate the carbon lock-in dilemma, while economic growth and carbon lock-in show an inverted “U” relationship. (4) There is a non-linear relationship between industrial transfer and carbon lock-in. Finally, we propose some recommendations to reduce dependence on high-carbon fossil energy and speed up the process of carbon unlocking in China.

Title: The climate change stage of change measure: vehicle choice experiment
Abstract: 
 Various measures have been proposed and validated to assess environmental motivation and explain peoples’ consumer behavior. However, most of the measures are rather complex, sometimes comprising dozens of items. In order to overcome the associated response burden, the goal of our research is to validate a much simpler measure of environmental motivation, namely the measure of Climate Change-Stage of Change. To do so we analyze data from a discrete choice experiment in which drivers decide to purchase a car with different levels of CO2 emissions and we also measure their environmental motivation with three alternative measures. The results show that environmental motivation assessed with Climate Change-Stage of Change explains the choices in the experiment as well as with more complex measures. Our findings have substantial implications for researchers as they may be able to assess climate-relevant motivation – a significant factor for many consumer choices – with a single question.

Title: Assessing tourists’ preferences for conservation of large carnivores in the Italian Alps using a discrete choice experiment
Abstract: 
 A study on tourists’ preferences for wildlife conservation in the Italian Alps using a choice experiment is presented. The study focuses on wolves, lynx and salamanders, which are in danger of extinction. Welfare analysis suggests that WTP for varying sizes of animal population increases up to 45–55 animals and then decreases. This indicates that tourists are willing to financially contribute to an increase in the number of animals, but they do not want too many individuals, probably due to the impacts that large populations of carnivores may have. Estimated consumer surplus confirms a larger positive welfare change for the scenario with 50 animals. A population of 50 animals is considered a viable population for the survival of wolves and lynx; therefore results indicate that tourists are willing to contribute for sustainable wolf and lynx conservation. The analysis also indicates that the places of residence and where respondents grew up influence preferences.

Title: The role of choice experiments in natural capital accounting approaches: fast track versus simulated exchange value in the Deben Estuary saltmarshes
Abstract: 
 Natural capital accounting requires exchange rather than welfare values, but lack of data and standards have encouraged practitioners to use different approaches (e.g. simple lookup table vs spatial modeling approaches). In this paper, we demonstrate how choice modeling data can provide simulated exchange values which are more robust than simple (fast track) valuation approaches for natural capital accounting. A survey of East of England residents collected the preferences for saltmarsh management and simulated exchange values, coherently linked with the ecosystem conditions. This approach is more informative for environmental local planning purposes. We claim that expanding the set of tools available for natural capital accounting can enhance management of ecosystem services and policy decision making.

Title: Does information matter in the value of a wetland?
Abstract: 
 Non-market values, as measured by willingness to pay, are often required for integrated resource management projects where assessments include a range of social, financial and environmental indicators. In this study, improvements to the Tuckean wetland in New South Wales, Australia was presented as part of a discrete choice experiment. One treatment group was given more background information about the history and economy of the case study area, information about acid sulfate soils and a quiz. The other treatment group was given less background information and no quiz. The confidence intervals on willingness to pay estimates overlap suggesting more information has limited impact on willingness to pay estimates. Information influences perceptions of the survey and preference heterogeneity for some of the attributes. Our findings suggest that given the limited impact of background information, less information may be preferred due to cost considerations.

Title: Are tourists willing to pay for decarbonizing tourism? Two applications of indirect questioning in discrete choice experiments
Abstract: 
 The feasibility and efficiency of public policies aimed at decarbonizing tourism also depend on tourists’ attitudes and acceptance. This paper investigates tourists’ preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for decarbonizing strategies applied to transportation and hotel accommodation. Two discrete choice experiments were conducted in the Dolomites area in Italy using direct and indirect question formats. The combination of question formats is proposed as an instrument to reduce hypothetical bias and obtain conservative WTP-range estimates. Results suggest low to zero willingness to pay for the two key attributes: the use of electric trains that produce lower amounts of carbon emissions and the possibility to offset the carbon emissions associated with tourists’ hotel stays. These results indicate the need for new policy interventions to promote forms of public-private partnerships to support public and private investments, increase tourists’ awareness of decarbonizing strategies and foster a move toward more sustainable behaviors.

Title: In-home and out-of-home energy consumption by elderly and non-elderly households: a comparative analysis based on a copula model
Abstract: 
 This paper compares the energy consumption of elderly and non-elderly households, recognizing the ever-increasing importance of the aging population for energy policy. Decisions of the domestic (in-home) and transport (out-of-home) sectors at the household level are jointly incorporated by building a multivariate Hierarchical Archimedean Copula model with intra-sector and inter-sector dependencies. Data from a life-oriented behavioral survey in Japan are used, which includes 532 elderly households and 340 non-elderly households. A variety of life-related factors, together with built environment factors, are introduced into the above model. Modeling analysis results show that inter- and intra-sector dependencies are heterogeneous across households in terms of these factors. It is found that almost equal numbers of influential factors are sensitive and insensitive to age-based sample segmentation. Various similarities and dissimilarities across energy types between elderly and non-elderly households are revealed. The paper concludes with a discussion of the policy implications of the results.

Title: Discrete choice modeling in environmental and energy decision-making: an introduction to the special issue
Abstract: 
 This editorial introduces the Special Issue on the role and use of discrete choice modelling in informing environmental and energy decision making and summarises the main insights provided. The papers collected in this Special Issue address a range of applications of discrete choice modelling, from energy decisions to climate change and transport choices, from tourism preferences for climate change mitigation to wildlife conservation strategies and ecosystem management. However, all the papers share the same fundamental aim of using novel methodological approaches in choice models to tackle conceptually and spatially specific policy questions and support decisions with robust empirical evidence. This is particularly relevant to enhance the real-world policy uptake of choice modelling results and develop a network of practice and capacity building to improve the quality of information that is provided to stakeholders and decision makers.

Title: An integrated decision driven design framework to support the ecological restoration of rivers
Abstract: 
 A structured and collaborative approach to design and decision‐making in the context of ecological restoration of rivers is developed and illustrated using a case study involving the mitigation of physical barriers to fish migration on the River Trent in the UK. The integrated design and decision-making framework provide a practical workflow model for structuring multi‐attribute decisions, engaging stakeholders, and assembling a design team needed to successfully plan environmental interventions. In our implementation team, members included ecologists, fisheries biologists, government scientists, and representatives of key stakeholder groups. The case study demonstrated a values‐based approach to implementing an ecological restoration plan that addresses some of the long‐standing barrier removal goals associated with the reintroduction of Atlantic salmon and European Union (EU) Habitats Directive listed species European lamprey and River eel. The integrated decision-driven, design framework approach is highlighted by trans-disciplinarily and social learning.

Title: Gender and household resilience to flooding in informal settlements in Accra, Ghana
Abstract: 
 A growing body of literature indicates that the impacts of natural disasters and resilience vary among individuals and groups, with gender becoming a critical defining factor. However, the influences of gender on resilience at the household level remain largely unexplored. Using data gathered from households in informal settlements in Accra, Ghana, this paper examines the varying effects of flooding on male and female-headed households, gendered differences in resilience, as well as factors influencing these gendered differences. The research revealed that female-headed households had reduced capacities to prepare, cope and recover from the impacts of flooding due to their expected gender roles, relatively larger family sizes, care responsibilities, lower levels of employment, and limited access to resources. These findings show that gender sensitivity to recovery and resilience are key to disaster planning and management programmes, and so the driving forces should be considered in policymaking.

Title: Intergovernmental fiscal transfers and CO2 emissions in China
Abstract: 
 Effectively evaluating the influencing factors of environmental pollution at the system level has become a hot topic in sustainable socioeconomic development; however, none of the existing studies have attempted to explore the relationship between intergovernmental fiscal transfers and environmental pollution. In this work, we aim to address the research gap from theoretical and empirical perspectives. Under the framework of endogenous growth theory, we first analyze the dynamic relationship between intergovernmental fiscal transfer ratio and the environment. Findings demonstrate that intergovernmental fiscal transfer ratio and environmental pollution have a bell-shaped relationship. We then conduct an empirical investigation of CO2 emissions with panel data for China’s 30 provinces for the period of 1998–2017 by combining spatial econometric methods. The robust empirical results support the aforementioned theoretical findings. The findings of this work may help the central and provincial governments of China in addressing CO2 emission problems by using a reasonable intergovernmental fiscal transfer ratio.

Title: Promotion of environmental regulation on the decoupling of marine economic growth from marine environmental pollution—based on interprovincial data in China
Abstract: 
 As an important factor of global marine economic development, high-quality marine economic development depends on the important role played by environmental regulations in dealing with the relationship between marine economic growth and the reduction of marine environmental pollution. The Tapio decoupling model is used in this study to analyze the impact mechanism of environmental regulations on the decoupling between marine economic growth and marine environmental pollution (referred to as ‘marine environment decoupling’). The results of the Tapio decoupling model demonstrate that China's marine economy has experienced fluctuations of ‘growth connection’—‘weak decoupling’—‘negative decoupling of expansion’—‘strong decoupling’—followed by ‘growth connection’. The marine economy is gradually decoupling from marine pollution. The dynamic panel model results show that environmental regulation is nonlinearly related to the marine environment decoupling in a ‘U’ shape, and technological innovation and industrial structures have a ‘U’-shaped regulating effect on the impact of environmental regulation on the marine environment decoupling. Furthermore, market-incentive and social-supervision environmental regulations can promote the marine environment decoupling. The three types of environmental regulations are ranked as follows: ‘market-incentive environmental regulations > social-supervision environmental regulations > command environmental regulations’ according to their clearly observable and varied roles. For these three major areas, environmental regulations are nonlinearly related to marine environment decoupling in the Pan-Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, and linearly related to that of Bohai Bay. The results provide valuable references for understanding marine environment decoupling drivers and developing high-quality marine economy by considering the role of environmental regulations.

Title: Bank managers’ perceived importance of corporate environmental management in lending decisions: investigating institutional motivational factors
Abstract: 
 This study sheds light on the perception of corporate environmental management (CEM) in the lending business from the lenders’ perspective. The importance of the implementation of the CEM practices of borrowing companies indicated by bank managers is used to measure the bank managers’ perceptions of CEM in lending decisions. In addition, this paper examines the influence of institutional motivations – coercive, mimetic and normative – on the perception of CEM. A survey was conducted among 110 bank managers in France and Luxembourg in 2019. Through factor analysis and regression modeling, we found that banks’ CEM requirements for borrowing firms are mainly determined by pressure-type motivations, such as coercive and mimetic, rather than benefit-type motivations, such as financial and reputational. Our results offer new insights into how bank managers perceive the importance of CEM in lending decision-making and explain the perceptions that have been less studied in the existing literature.

Title: How does vertical fiscal imbalance affect energy consumption in China?
Abstract: 
 Evaluating the influencing factors of energy consumption at the system level has become a focus in high-quality economic development. However, the existing literature has not yet explored whether and how vertical fiscal imbalance (VFI) affects energy consumption. Thus, we aim to address this gap. We empirically examine the effect of VFI on energy consumption and its possible mechanisms by using China’s panel data at the province level from 1998 to 2018. We find that VFI significantly increases energy consumption, but this influence has evident regional heterogeneity. Moreover, VFI indirectly affects energy consumption through industrial structure upgrading, and the positive influence of VFI on energy consumption is strengthened by the improvement in intergovernmental fiscal transfers. These findings give political references to deepen fiscal reform, reduce energy consumption, and implement strategies for energy saving and emission reduction.

Title: Issues in promoting sustainability in mega infrastructure projects: a systematic review
Abstract: 
 With the growing need for infrastructure development, governments have invested heavily in constructing large infrastructure projects in the form of megaprojects. However, implementing such projects requires lots of resources, and they have formidable environmental, social and financial impacts. Despite facing several sustainability issues, megaprojects proliferate. There is a lack of holistic examination of key sustainability issues and influence factors in the existing literature on megaprojects. This paper, therefore, aims to systematically answer: “what” are the key sustainability issues in megaproject management and “how” can these issues be tackled (influence factors), using 87 peer-reviewed articles obtained from three databases. Moreover, the paper proposes an integrated conceptual model by linking the issues and incorporating the influence factors. Finally, the paper presents some future research areas. This study’s findings may be of significant value to the practitioners and policy-makers in incorporating sustainability dimensions in the management of megaprojects.

Title: Extending the theory of planned behavior: factors fostering millennials’ intention to purchase eco-sustainable products in an emerging market
Abstract: 
 Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior model, this exploratory study aims to examine factors fostering millennials’ purchasing intentions toward eco-sustainable products in emerging markets and assess the interrelationship between environmental knowledge, environmental concern, subjective norms, green attitude, and perceived behavior. Data was collected from 446 Indian millennials using convenience sampling. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS and AMOS package using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling. The results revealed that environment knowledge, environmental concern, subjective norms, and perceived behavior factors significantly fostered green attitude. Millennial green attitude positively affected purchase intention and influenced millennials’ purchase behavior both directly and indirectly. The study variables had a positive interrelationship, except for subjective norms and perceived behavior. Environmental knowledge and environmental concerns were the strongest determinants of GPI toward GPB.

Title: Environmental and operational performance is not always achieved when combined with cleaner production and lean production: an overview for emerging economies
Abstract: 
 The effect of combined Lean Production (LP) and Cleaner Production (CP) on Environmental and Operational Performance in emerging economies’ industries has not yet been studied. To address this gap, this work explores the effect of LP and CP practices on Environmental and Operational performance. A sample of 208 Brazilian organizations provided a set of results to test the four hypotheses: H1: LP practices are positively associated with CP practices in emerging economies’ industries; H2: Environmental performance is positively associated with operational performance in emerging economies’ industries; H3: LP practices are positively associated with environmental performance in emerging economies’ industries; H4: CP practices are positively associated with operational performance in emerging economies’ industries. H1 was confirmed and another three hypotheses were refuted, thus contributing to advancing the scientific literature dealing with CP and LP constructs with a comparative approach to Environmental and Operational performance in emerging economies’ industries.

Title: The relationship between green operation and sustainable quality performance: the mediation role of environmental technology
Abstract: 
 This study examines the relationship between green operations and sustainable quality performance, by incorporating environmental technology as a mediator. Using a sample of 124 firms in Malaysia’s industrial products and service companies, a proposed set of hypotheses are tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling, which allows for consistent analysis. The results show that green operations positively impact environmental technology. Likewise, both these constructs have a significant relationship with sustainable quality performance. Moreover, environmental technology positively mediates the relationship between both green operation and sustainable quality performance of firms. These specific findings can be insightful for technical and operational managers when they respond to multiple stakeholders’ specific environmental and competitive expectations. The findings provide empirical evidence for policymakers, technical and operational managers in advancing green operations with specific operational functions and responsive to the importance of integrating innovative environmental technology toward sustainable quality performance.

Title: Impact of financial agglomeration on regional green economic growth: evidence from China
Abstract: 
 Financial agglomeration and green economic growth have become a trend in global financial and economic development. This paper analyzes the impact mechanism of financial agglomeration on green economic growth from two angles: growth promotion and energy conservation/emission reduction. Based on the Slacks Based Model-Data Envelopment Analysis (SBM-DEA) of undesired outputs, the green economic growth efficiency of 30 regions in China from 2008 to 2017 was measured. The study uses a spatial measurement model and finds that financial agglomeration has a significant positive effect on green economic growth. The specific manifestation is that with a 1% increase in the level of financial agglomeration, the productivity of green total factor increases by about 0.1837% and 0.0964% green economic growth in neighboring areas. Further analysis shows that this improvement in green total factor productivity is mainly achieved through technological advancement that promotes coordinated economic growth, energy saving and emission reduction.

Title: Making sense of how proponents conspire to thwart environmental impact assessment processes: insights from the Miramar Resort controversy in Taiwan
Abstract: 
 Despite extensive enquiry into the socio-political aspects of environmental impact assessments (EIA), empirical material from east- and south-east Asia remains underrepresented in English-language scholarship. This is notable given increasing infrastructural developments and interest in environmental justice in the region. We contribute to this field by evaluating the Miramar Resort EIA controversy in Taitung County, Taiwan, to assess how a developer and a local government conspired to circumvent an EIA process. Through documentary analysis and stakeholder interviews, we assess the argumentation used by different actors to articulate their support for or opposition to the development. We find that much contention rests on claims to economic benefit and environmental protection that cannot be verified, and on limited participation opportunities. We call for further research into strategies used by proponents to discredit the knowledge and experience of opponents within EIA processes, especially given rising global interest in traditional, local and indigenous knowledge.

Title: Examining the antecedents and consequences of sustainable green supply chain management from the perspective of ecological modernization: evidence from Taiwan’s high-tech sector
Abstract: 
 In recent years, environmental sustainability has stimulated enterprises worldwide to not only develop green and sustainable innovations but also to move toward green and sustainable supply chain management. This study integrated the ideas of green supply chain management (GSCM) and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) to define sustainable green supply chain management (SGSCM). Previous studies on GSCM/SSCM have contributed to research and practice, but few have explored the antecedents and consequences of GSCM/SSCM simultaneously. To address this research gap, we linked ecological modernization (EM) theory with SGSCM and sustainability performance to build a comprehensive research model. A total of 300 valid questionnaires were collected from electrical and electronics firms in Taiwan. The empirical results demonstrated that awareness of and pressure to engage in EM significantly positively affected SGSCM. Moreover, SGSCM significantly positively influenced sustainability performance (i.e. environmental, economic, and social performance). These findings should convince enterprises to actively promote SGSCM.

Title: Resisting forestry sector reform: institutional work during India’s Forest Rights Act implementation process
Abstract: 
 This article illuminates the patterns and processes of institutional work during the creation and implementation of the FRA 2006, even as state agencies consistently resist changes in legal institutions, and continue to retain control over forestry matters through non-statutory institutions - a strategy to subvert local people’s control over the valued forest resources.The study demonstrates how ‘institutional work’ proceeded through different stages of drafting of the Act, revolving around competing demands of entitlements, leading to creation of a new institutional mechanism. Although non-state actors such as civil society organisations were actively engaged in crafting the law, their role has weakened as implementation has progressed. The state’s increasing activity frustrates reform implementation, as the reforms challenge the foresters’ bureaucratic culture and threaten their politico-economic interests. It concludes with insights for theoretical understanding on how and why institutions change, or are maintained, in case of multi-actor and multi-layered forest governance systems.

Title: Ecological efficiency assessment under the construction of low-carbon city: a perspective of green technology innovation

 This paper develops a novel hybrid Trigonometric Envelopment Analysis for Ideal Solutions (TEA-IS) model to assess the ecological efficiency of 248 Chinese cities for a 14-year period and employs a difference-in-difference approach to reveal the mechanism of the impact of low-carbon pilot city policies on ecological efficiency from the perspective of green technology innovation. This TEA-IS approach not only combines the advantageous features that exist in each individual model, but also allows an analysis of ecological efficiency in terms of the synergistic effects that may exist among correlated positive and negative criteria. Machine learning methods are also employed to predict high-low performance and synergistic Chinese cities in terms of the socio-economic and demographic context. Results indicate that ecological efficiency is generally low in Chinese cities. The low-carbon pilot city policy does help to improve ecological efficiency, which results from the mechanism of green technology innovation.

Title: Urbanization and CO2 emissions intensity in Africa
Abstract: 
 The pace of urbanization in the world will very quickly become a major problem for development in all its dimensions. This dynamic, also observed in Africa, could have serious consequences for macroeconomic and environmental balances. This paper examines the relationship between urbanization and the intensity of CO2 emissions on a panel of 48 African countries over the period 1980–2016. Using an augmented STIRPAT model, we found that if urbanization is a highly significant factor for pollution in Africa, the effect is heterogeneous for different levels of pollution. This effect is more pronounced in resource-rich countries; the difference in the quality of institutions helping to reinforce the heterogeneity. Additional tests reveal the existence of simultaneous threshold effects of pollution concerning urbanization and the level of development. Finally, the overall effect of urbanization on global warming is positive and significant. Based on these outcomes, we suggest a set of policies.

Title: A comfortable soundscape perspective in acoustic environmental planning and management: a case study based on local resident audio-visual perceptions
Abstract: 
 Soundscapes are an important factor related to audio-visual perception and human health; however, research on how local residents perceive the audio-visual environment remains insufficient. This study, therefore, was mainly conducted to examine the effects of sound sources, the sociodemographic factors of the local residents, visual aesthetic quality and quiet landscape experiences on rural soundscapes through on-site and in-home questionnaire surveys focusing on three components of a soundscape. The results indicated that although there were significant differences in the audio-visual perceptions among typical locations, road traffic sounds were the dominant sound category affecting acoustic comfort on site and in memory. The residents’ age affected the acoustic comfort of background sounds and sound marks in certain ways, while positive landscape experiences made sound marks predominantly perceived and the acoustic comfort of each sound category remarkably improved. This study also developed an agile practical soundscape resource optimization process through an audio-visual perceptual investigation.

Title: Toward sustainable policy instruments: assessing instrument selection among policy actors
Abstract: 
 To address complex environmental problems we need sustainable policy solutions, which are often disregarded by policy actors in charge of addressing these problems. In this article, we study factors that promote or hinder policy actors’ selection for sustainable policy instruments using the case of flood risk management in Switzerland. We evaluate flood risk management instruments based on three key sustainability dimensions and forgo conventional approaches to categorizing policy instruments. In a survey, we ask policy actors which policy instruments they prefer and thus evaluate which policy actors select sustainable policy instruments. Results indicate that problem perception is the key determinant influencing policy actors’ selection of sustainable flood risk management instruments. Results also suggest that the tendency to select sustainable flood risk management instruments differs depending on actor type and actor level. These findings help us understand which settings promote the selection of sustainable policy solutions to tackle complex environmental problems.

Title: The impact of income inequality on environmental quality: a sectoral-level analysis
Abstract: 
 Many studies in the literature examine the income inequality-environment nexus at the country level. In this paper, we argue that the impact of inequality on sectoral emissions might vary and should be examined by considering sectoral-level differences. We focus on 28 OECD economies and use DOLSMG, BA-OLS, and CUP-FM estimators. Our findings reveal that a cointegration relationship exists among the series in the long run, indicating that both income and income inequality are crucial factors in sectoral emissions. The estimates show that a 1% increase in the Gini index leads to an increase in emissions from the power and building sectors by about 1.4%. On the other hand, a 1% rise in the Gini index positively contributes to the environment in the transport, other industrial combustion, and other sectors by about 0.05%, 0.05%, and 0.02%, respectively. Policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions should be designed at the sectoral level.

Title: EIA decision-making and administrative justice: an empirical analysis
Abstract: 
 Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is implemented in most countries as an administrative procedure. In this context, it is subject to the principles of administrative justice. However, to date, no empirical research has been conducted to determine the extent to which EIA decisions comply with the principles of administrative justice. In this paper, empirical data from 42 EIA cases in South Africa are used to establish EIA compliance with the administrative justice principles of lawfulness, procedural fairness and reasonableness. This is achieved by measuring EIA decisions against specially developed key performance indicators (KPIs). Overall, decisions were found to mostly comply with the principles of administrative justice. However, questions arise with regards to the quality and substance of the information feeding into the decision-making process and on which decisions are ultimately based.

Title: Comparison of methods to evaluate overland travel times for source water protection
Abstract: 
 Protection areas are commonly delineated in water supply watersheds to manage anthropogenic activities that pose pollution risks. These areas are frequently determined based on geographical distances that are not representative of the travel time of water. For surface waters, the total travel time for water between an anthropogenic activity and the drinking water intake is the sum of the overland travel time and the travel time in a river. In previous research, we reported methods for evaluating travel time in a river. The present paper focuses on the estimation of overland travel times. Four methods were applied, evaluated and compared based on a land use database representing anthropogenic activities that potentially release contaminants. Methods for overland travel times that provided more precise results required abundant data and expertise to be implemented, but can contribute to improved decision-making for land use planning in the context of source water protection.

Title: Solid waste management behavior among the student community: integrating environmental knowledge and situational factors into the theories of planned behavior and value belief norm
Abstract: 
 This research goes beyond the attitude-intention link to investigate the determinants of solid waste management behavior among the student community. The study proposes an extended model comprised of constructs from psychological frameworks, the theory of planned behavior and value-belief-norm theory by integrating environmental knowledge and situational factors as the intrinsic and extrinsic variables. A self-administered questionnaire method with a sample of 1,105 and structural equation modeling to test the statistical significance of the model revealed that our novel model includes a satisfactory level of prediction power, which is superior to existing theories. Findings show that intention, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and attitude had a significant positive influence on behavior. While biospheric and altruistic values showed positive relationships with belief, moral norms and environmental knowledge was found to be crucial in forming attitude. The results of this work could be used by governments, policymakers and researchers to design and implement effective waste management systems.

Title: Three decades of landscape change across the largest peri-urban horticultural region of Argentina: urban growth, productive intensification and the need for resilient landscape management
Abstract: 
 Urbanization and agricultural land expansion are the largest drivers of global land cover change. Here, we aimed to quantify three decades of land-use/land-cover change across one of the main horticultural regions of South America. We assessed landscape change implementing a supervised classification workflow on Landsat satellite imagery (1986, 1996, 2005 and 2015). Between 1986 and 2015, horticulture extent decreased (51.47%) at the expense of a high increase in greenhouses (2652.83%). Additionally, high density urbanization experienced a strong expansion (111.58%), while low density urbanization increased only between 1986 and 2005, replacing natural grassland, herbaceous parks and livestock. These results demonstrate a regional urban growth and productive intensification process that echoes similar global processes with consequential losses of open field horticultural areas and a non-equitable distribution of semi-natural areas in this region. Adequate territorial planning toward ecological resilient territories that consider ecological processes and prioritize semi-natural vegetation cover is urgently needed.

Title: Competing claims in land-use policy: property development and mineral aggregates industries
Abstract: 
 This paper offers an empirically grounded understanding of the historical processes by which economic and institutional actors, particularly industry networks operating over time, influenced regional-scale land use policies at critical junctures involving land conflicts. The research addresses understudied discourses, practices and relationships associated with changes in land use policy. The paper draws on theories of land conflicts and industry networks to examine multi-actor contestations over land use and growth. It highlights the role of industry networks of the property development and aggregate industries in influencing provincial land use policies. Using a multi-method approach, we examine a case of Ontario provincial government brokerage of conflicting proposals for the development of regional-scale lands on Toronto’s urban periphery. A key finding is that fundamental differences in the organization and bargaining power of the two industries translate into differential effectiveness in multi-stakeholder negotiations.

Title: The role of the state in preserving urban green infrastructure - National Urban Parks in Finland and Sweden
Abstract: 
 The National Urban Park (NUP) is a planning instrument used by the state to preserve cities' green infrastructure (GI). This article compares a top-down approach to the designation of NUP, as it has been applied in Sweden, with a bottom-up approach, as it has been applied in Finland. The application that has taken place in Sweden has contributed to the Royal National Urban Park in Stockholm being the only one in the country so far, partly due to a hesitation among municipalities to implement a tool which limits their future development opportunities. In Finland, on the other hand, where the initiative is driven by municipalities, the NUP has become so demanded that the municipalities compete over approval. In both cases, the study shows that NUP is a strong instrument for protecting green areas, but the implementation approach by the public authorities is crucial for its success.

Title: Women’s autonomy and its impact on environmental sustainability agenda
Abstract: 
 Women’s autonomy remains under pressure from male dominancy in corporate business and household affairs. Women possess natural, analytical, social, political, and economic autonomy that acknowledges the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDG-5) to empower women and girls in inclusive business. The study analyzes different aspects of women’s autonomy in corporate business and the natural environment, leading to sustainable business outcomes in China between 1975 and 2019. In practice, Chinese women’s political power in the decision-making process is minimal. It needs to restructure its socio-political autonomy to move toward the SDG-5 agenda. The results show that women have the political wisdom to handle corporate sustainability affairs, manage matters of corporate environmental responsibility, and increase their participation in the workforce, enabling them to sustain their lives as knowledge workers. Corporate women hold more stewardship values than men, enabling them to handle corporate sustainability matters.

Title: Sustainability and firms’ mission in a developing country: the case of voluntary certifications and programs in Costa Rica
Abstract: 
 Voluntary environmental and social certifications represent a channel by which firms can contribute to sustainable development. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, we explore the motivations and obstacles that Costa Rican companies face when adopting Carbon Neutral (CN) and Fairtrade (FT) certifications. CN is a domestic certification aimed at reducing or offsetting carbon emissions and fighting climate change. FT is a well-known international label that guarantees compliance with environmental and social standards. We conclude that ethical and environmental reasons influence the managers’ decision, along with economic and strategic incentives, such as improving the image of the company and the relationship with stakeholders. High investment and certification costs are ranked as the most difficult obstacles to overcome. By exploring the differences between both certifications, we find out that increasing sales, market shares or prices are more important motivations for the FT companies than for CN ones.

Title: Study on the selection of equity structure of PPP waste-to-energy projects from the perspective of sustainable development
Abstract: 
 The equity structure of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects reflects the interests of the public and private sectors, and concerns the economic, social and environmental performance of projects. In the context of the global promotion of sustainable development, optimization of equity structure from a sustainable perspective is very important for improving the sustainable performance of PPP projects. However, in the existing research, there is no quantitative model for selecting equity structure of PPP projects with the goal of improving sustainability. To address the research gap, a multi-objective programming model is developed to seek the balance of economic, social, and environmental performance of PPP projects and its rationality and practicability are verified using a case of a waste-to-energy PPP project. The study proposes a quantitative model of equity structure selection to achieve sustainability goals for PPP projects and the results are helpful for government decisions on promoting the sustainability of PPP projects.

Title: Green banking: the case of the commercial banking sector in Delhi NCR
Abstract: 
 Banking institutions are in a strategic position to implement the ‘Go Green’ strategy and can encourage other firms for the same. This qualitative study analyses the extent of green banking efforts within Delhi NCR and compares them with other organizations. Semi-structured in-depth interviews of 40 different bankers (including managing directors to branch managers) from 10 different public and private Indian banks were undertaken. Both primary and secondary data were collected. Qualitative exploratory research resulted in the following facts, (a) Bank’s eco-friendly practices are confined to being paperless, (b) Banks rarely enquire about the carbon footprint of the projects, (c) Banks recognize the requirements of government guidelines, (d) Systematic documentation of activities under corporate social responsibility (CSR) is lacking, (e) Insufficient awareness of green initiatives has been found amongst bank employees, (f) Green banking components such as bank size, reputation, age, profitability, and investors’ reaction, are motivating elements for banks’ green performance.

Title: Investigate solutions to mitigate CO2 emissions: the case of China
Abstract: 
 The present study analyses the factors for higher carbon emissions in Chinese provinces. The distinguishing point of this study is the inclusion of forest investment and forest area to examine whether forest is a carbon sink or a source. The estimated results have confirmed that simply increasing the forest area is not a constructive approach to mitigate carbon emissions. Whilst the empirical results have reported that higher forest investment is a useful strategy to reduce the carbon concentration in the environment. By taking account of the results, the central government, and local administrations should take swift action to properly manage and regularly maintain the forests. In addition, the government should form strict laws on deforestation and issue limited licenses if deforestation is necessary, but on the condition that twice the number of trees are planted to replace those cut down.

Title: Tourism economic dynamics under carbon intensity target policy
Abstract: 
 This article examines the tourism economic dynamics under the carbon intensity target policy with macroeconomic uncertainty. Using a novel multi-sector dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model, this article presents the impulse responses of the tourism economy to productivity shocks and carbon intensity target shocks in terms of output, employment, and consumption. The results show that, generally, productivity shocks have positive effects while carbon intensity target shocks negatively affect the tourism aggregate economy. The reduced carbon intensity target offsets these positive effects as well as enlarging these negative effects. Furthermore, the effects of exogenous shocks vary significantly across tourism sectors. As a whole, tourism-related transport and accommodation sectors are the most affected. In addition, different carbon intensity targets mean the different volatility and persistence of the effects of exogenous shocks. This study contributes to a better understanding of tourism economic dynamics under a specific emissions policy, thereby contributing to relevant decision-making.

Title: Health concerns of plastics: energizing the global diffusion of anti-plastic norms
Abstract: 
 The idea that plastics can be harmful has been gaining strength since the 1990s. Resulting anti-plastic norms have been diffusing unevenly around the world, with different meanings, fragmented uptake, and variable policy influence. Explanations for why and where anti-plastic norms have gained traction have highlighted the power of industry, the responses of governments, the characteristics of waste management, and the role of advocacy. Researchers have yet to meaningfully explore health as a factor influencing the diffusion of anti-plastic norms. This article addresses this gap. Evidence from Bangladesh, Kenya, the Bahamas, and Canada reveals that health-based concerns have been a key factor across a diverse array of jurisdictions. These cases further demonstrate the tendency of anti-plastic norms to flow from early to later adopters only after a critical mass of local actors perceive plastic waste to be a locally significant problem. These findings can empower advocates of stricter plastics regulation.

Title: The system of environmental and economic accounting and the valuation problem: a review of the literature
Abstract: 
 The System of Environmental and Economic Accounting aims at the integration of national accounts with the contributions of the environment. After three decades of development, though, only a portion of it has become an international standard for national accounting. Its uncertain, experimental status reflects the complexities faced by a project that requires a clear and implementable concept of valuation to be applied to non-market goods. In this paper, we review the debate between competing theories of value that had a role in the early development of the System and we follow the discussion that first accompanied the drafting of its current version and is now informing a revision process that will lead to a new edition of the Experimental Ecosystem Accounting module by 2021. The next developments and every step made toward integration will affect not just the content of the national accounts but also how it can be collected and used.

Title: Is neighborhood satisfaction related to density perception? Promoting liveable and sustainable land use planning
Abstract: 
 While sustainable land use planning ensures land preservation through urban compactness, liveable residential environments are commonly associated with low density levels. Analyzing the relationships between density and neighborhood satisfaction (as a measure for liveability) may therefore help urban planners to offer sustainable infill projects that also guarantee liveability for the residents. Objective or subjective measures of density can be proposed. While the literature considering objective density is plentiful, the empirical work analyzing the relationships between density perception and neighborhood satisfaction is surprisingly scarce. In this study, we use a 2015 online survey in the Loire-Atlantique Département in France that provided 1,134 questionnaires, which we analyzed using a discrete choice experiment. We find that neighborhood satisfaction has no relationship to the perceived density of the built environment by individuals. What matters is peacefulness as another type of neighborhood perception. Healthcare accessibility is also valued by the residents.

Title: Mitigating natural hazards: county-level hazard mitigation plan quality in Washington State
Abstract: 
 Local-level hazard mitigation plans have the potential to reduce communities’ losses from natural hazards, some of which are projected to intensify with climate change, although there remain gaps in knowledge regarding the quality of these plans. This study used an established protocol to assign plan quality scores to county-level hazard mitigation plans in Washington State. Plans received higher scores in some components of quality (e.g. vision statement) than in others (e.g. specific policies), and overall quality varied with geography and plan authorship. This paper concludes with recommendations for future planning and research that may support community resilience to natural hazards.

Title: Reassessing environmental justice through pollution substitution
Abstract: 
 Growing evidence shows that pollution released to environmental media, such as waterways and land, has increased while air pollution has declined due to stringent regulation in the United States. Such pollution substitution may disproportionately occur in disadvantaged communities, but little research has investigated the extent to which pollution substitution is correlated with communities’ characteristics. Using spatial panel data of toxic release during 1990–2010 and the ethnic diversity index to measure a community's social cohesion and the ability for collective action, we found that pollution substitution is positively associated with greater ethnic diversity, regardless of population size. Moreover, lower ethnic diversity (higher potential of collective action) in adjacent communities increases pollution substitution from air to land in the home community. Our findings suggest that the degree of environmental inequity should be assessed by considering pollution released to all environmental media.

Title: The use of socio-spatial data for sustainable roads planning: a national forest case study
Abstract: 
 National forest roads allow access to public lands providing connections to natural and cultural heritage. Planning processes that address potential road closures or conversions can be highly contentious. Public participatory GIS (PPGIS) has been used as a tool to gather information for environmental planning and decision-making. Our PPGIS approach in a national forest in Washington (USA) incorporated workshops and online engagement with 1,810 participants to gather public input for sustainable roads planning. We identified the most important forest destinations and developed an analytical framework for assessing forest roads based on the density and diversity of use. In this paper, we summarize our PPGIS process and identify challenges faced in the application of socio-spatial data. A comparative analysis of road planning in other forests further highlights challenges in incorporating public use data. While the PPGIS process was valued for relationship-building, it is less evident how directly the socio-spatial data informed outcomes.

Title: Understanding public perceptions toward invasive species in different parts of Europe
Abstract: 
 Understanding public attitudes toward invasive species is crucial to curtail the reasons for their introduction and to increase the effectiveness of control measures. A questionnaire was distributed in three European countries (Italy, Spain and United Kingdom) to evaluate public attitudes on the problems posed by invasive species, their perception of the impacts and their willingness to introduce and support management actions. People whose occupations are not nature related or who practice gardening as a main outdoor activity, represent the highest risk groups relating to the introduction of invasive species. Ecosystem damage and species extinctions were the main concerns for people, and signal crayfish and zebra mussel were the species of most concern. People firstly supported control and eradication followed by awareness resulting in increasing public awareness as management measures. This information can feed into educational, prevention and eradication campaigns promoting the necessary socio-cultural changes to prevent the negative impacts of invasive species.

Title: Re-examining the effect of China’s new-energy demonstration cities construction policy on environmental pollution: a perspective of pollutant emission intensity control
Abstract: 
 The construction of new-energy demonstration cities (NEDC) is a typical energy policy recently implemented in China, which aims to accelerate energy transition. Using panel data for 269 Chinese cities during 2010-2017, this study examines the effect of the NEDC construction policy on environmental pollution under the difference-in-differences (DID) framework from the perspective of pollutant emission intensity control. The results show that China’s NEDC construction policy exerts a significant negative impact on environmental pollution, especially in the central and western cities, as well as the cities with a low level of economic development. However, the pollution reduction effect is unsustainable due to the lack of long-term policy planning. The mechanism analysis suggests that the NEDC construction policy mainly reduces environmental pollution through the scale effect, that is, reducing the scale and intensity of electricity consumption. The findings of this study provide beneficial inspiration for scientific implementation of energy policies in the future.

Title: Gender differences in farmers’ livelihood capital in Dazu District, China
Abstract: 
 This study aims to investigate whether there are gender differences in the livelihood capital of farming households in China. A stratified random sampling technique and household surveys were used to collect data from Dazu District, China. This paper uses capital values to compute the level of livelihood capital, while the ordinary least squares model is employed to compare gender differences in livelihood capital. The results show significant gender differences in farmers’ livelihood capital. Male farmers have more livelihood capital than female farmers. There are also significant gender differences in the factors that affect farmers’ livelihood capital. Education and agricultural cooperatives are the major factors influencing the livelihood capital of men, while agricultural policy support and happiness are the major factors influencing the livelihood capital of women. These results imply that specific gender-based intervention programs should be implemented to maintain farmers’ livelihood sustainability and to overcome gender gaps in agriculture.

Title: A national inventory and analysis of US transfer of development rights programs
Abstract: 
 Transfer of development rights (TDR) programs shift development intensity between land parcels. Jurisdictions, most commonly local municipal or county governments, employ TDR to protect resources such as farmland or historical properties and to encourage infill and redevelopment where deemed appropriate. However, while championed by economists and others seeking to reduce conflicts between land development and preservation, TDR program adoption has varied widely across the US. What demographic, economic, or environmental factors are associated with TDR program establishment? This paper describes a census of 375 TDR programs in the United States, documenting primary program attributes and adoption year and categorizing their functions and typology. Using logistic regression, we analyze program spatial patterns and factors predicting program implementation. We find that areas that are coastal, more liberal, have higher home values, in home-rule states, and in states with state-wide growth management programs, are all significantly more likely to implement TDR programs.

Title: Dissecting the politics of scale in watershed-based planning
Abstract: 
 This paper explores how spatial judgments impacted planning and policy-making by studying how stakeholders on Cape Cod, Massachusetts considered cross-scale relationships between local, regional, and state jurisdictions and hydro-geologically defined watersheds. Analysis of video data from participatory planning workshops illustrates how these judgments were made as stakeholders developed a regional wastewater management plan. Detailed analysis of their deliberations illustrates the complex and dynamic nature of their scalar judgements as they addressed mismatches between watersheds and towns. Findings illustrate how their judgments were part of the process that led to the development of innovative policy tools for collective action that embraced, rather than erased, mismatches. This paper also demonstrates the application of spatial judgments of non-expert stakeholders as they made plans and proposed actions for a complex social-ecological system.

Title: Rethinking the design of resilience and adaptation indicators supporting coastal communities
Abstract: 
 As resilience and adaptation considerations become mainstreamed into public policy, there is an overarching desire to measure and quantify metrics and indicators that seek to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and justness associated with outcomes of such processes. While much research has sought to develop specific indicators that may serve as proxies for these considerations, less research has focused on those normative aspects of indicator design that support a variety of goals associated with the accuracy, reproducibility, proxy value and multi-stakeholder translation of indicators, among various other goals and values. This perspective article sets forth a range of potential considerations that may be useful for those who seek to design and develop novel resilience and adaptation indicators (“RAIs”). These considerations are explored through a range of hypothetical examples that may be applicable to coastal communities that seek to address the practical challenges facing the design, execution, management and modification of RAIs.

Title: Responsibility, engagement, and policy strategy for ocean plastic waste management: a Q-method study of stakeholder perspectives
Abstract: 
 Ocean plastic waste is an urgent environmental crisis, subject to growing media and policy scrutiny. We use Q-methodology to assess stakeholder perspectives on management practices, finding four emergent discourses concerning: environmental citizenship, global policy responsibility, health prioritization and economic incentivisation. We find stakeholder consensus on the impacts, levels of media coverage and need for action – creating a ‘policy window’ for strong environmental governance. Yet there remains disparity over who should lead pro-environmental action, and whether consumer behavior will genuinely change over time. Visual communication emerges as a popular tool to build social capacity for change. It behoves policymakers to learn from other visual behavior change initiatives, such as those on cigarette packaging, to stimulate long-term public engagement. By combining visual communication with taxes and levies to alter demand-side management for single use plastic products, we suggest that longer-term sustainable behavior change can be achieved.

Title: Does finance as usual work for circular economy transition? A financiers and SMEs qualitative approach
Abstract: 
 Transitioning to a circular economy (CE) particularly challenges small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and a deeper understanding of CE financial barriers is needed. We draw on SME and financiers’ views to qualitatively study the risks associated with CE, how such risks limit access to financial resources and how financial institutions perceive those risks. We find that transitioning to a circular economy entails regulatory, cultural and market risks and that CE business success does not depend solely on SME resources or capabilities. Contributions include combining business model perspectives with transition theories and showing that new circular business models entail major reforms to political, regulatory, and market structures, including financial markets. From a practical perspective, to accelerate CE transition, we recommend reducing fragmentation, uncertainty and incoherence in regulation of the remodeling of information and risk assessment systems and new co-financing mechanisms and alternative instruments such as blended finance or “circular finance.”

Title: Revealing the reality behind consumers’ participation in WEEE treatment schemes: a mixed method approach
Abstract: 
 With the enormous population growth and the ever-increasing use of various electronic devices in modern life, the proper disposal of the “Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment” (WEEE) has been of paramount importance. The pervasive use of social media by customers has made governments and businesses use these platforms as a rich source of data to extract intelligence on consumer opinions. However, some scholars doubt the sufficiency of social media data concerning the design of a comprehensive list containing all influential factors on consumer behavior toward the proper treatment of WEEE. Thus, a mixed method of quantitative (by analyzing about 2,500,000 tweets from Twitter) and qualitative approaches (i.e. a literature thematic analysis followed by a three-phased Delphi method) has been adopted. Due to consumers’ different behavior based on their local status, the experts have been split into two different panels from developed and developing countries. They have also been provided with the findings from the literature along with the results from Twitter data analysis. The findings have revealed that economic incentives play a pivotal role in both categories. People in developing countries usually have concerns regarding socio-economic and socio-political issues, while in developed nations higher levels of influential factors exist, including proximity, suitability and ease of access, and so forth. The truth is that in order to have a green and pollution-free world, the whole world, whether developed or developing, must take joint steps to create public welfare, peace of mind and world peace. Otherwise, unilateral actions of countries will not have their desired effectiveness.

Title: Assessing the dynamic variations of ecosystem service value in response to land use change and socio-economic development
Abstract: 
 This article establishes a dynamic evaluation model of ecosystem service value (ESV) by introducing the spatial heterogeneity coefficient and social development coefficient to assess the spatiotemporal dynamic variations of ESV. Taking Wuhan as a case study, the effects of land use change on the variations of ESV are analyzed, and the impacts of people’s willingness to pay for ecosystem services and socio-economic development on a time-series ESV are also explored. The results showed that: (1) Wuhan has a large-scale land use transfer, the accumulative land transfer area reached 599 km2. (2) The static ESV of Wuhan experienced a process of first rising and then falling, with the total ESV decreasing by 1.24 billion yuan from 2000 to 2015. (3) The dynamic ESV evaluation reversed the overall downward trend of static ESV and significantly increased after adjustment, which were 1.52 times, 1.51 times, 1.62 times and 2.06 times of static ESV for that year, respectively; (4) The ecosystem services of Wuhan bear great downward pressure, but people’s demand for ecosystem services is increasing and their willingness to pay for ecosystem services has been significantly improved. These findings can provide valuable support for decision-makers to identify the providers and beneficiaries of ecosystem services and formulate rational land use management policies.

Title: Playing games around climate change – new ways of working to develop climate change resilience
Abstract: 
 This paper uses game theory to examine the efforts of public sector actors in the UK to integrate climate change interventions within development processes. Drawing on desk-based analysis and interviews, we identify instances where private-sector developers act strategically to exploit public-sector imperatives to deliver economic growth and housing. We find these imperatives constrained the agency of planners to effectively reconcile climate mitigation/adaptation objectives within wider priorities of economic growth. Yet, we identify instances whereby strategic planning frameworks, informal networks and bespoke development frameworks were effective means to build trust between actors and foster co-operation, better enabling development which meets climate change mitigation/adaptation objectives. In doing so, we illustrate the practical and theoretical value of game theory, whilst highlighting how careful use of strategic planning can support achieving climate change mitigation/adaptation objectives at a local scale.

Title: Influential factors of environmental behavior to reduce air pollution: integrating theories of planned behavior and psychological distance
Abstract: 
 Exploring the incentive mechanism of public participation is the key to the implementation of sustainable policies in China. This study related the constructs of psychological distance (PD), the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and willingness to pay (WTP) to examine the influential factors of environmental behaviors to prevent air pollution. The contingent valuation method was applied to demonstrate pro-environmental endeavors by measuring WTP and the structural equation model was used to clarify the effects between PD, TPB and WTP. The results showed that different dimensions of PD from air pollution have overlapping influences. Participants judged the air pollution as psychologically closer tend to have positive attitudes and stronger subjective norms, and the reduced PD can translate into increased WTP. The PD-TPB-WTP model correctly predicts up to 17.6% of WTP and 82.6% of behavioral intention. Environmental policymakers are suggested to draft policies according to individuals’ internal thinking.

Title: The paradox of planning the compact and green city: analyzing land-use change in Amsterdam and Brussels
Abstract: 
 Strategies applied by urban policy makers in order to achieve sustainable city development may be in conflict with each other because it crosses many disciplines and policy areas. This research focusses on the dilemma between compact city and urban greenspace policies and their influence on actual land-use change in Amsterdam and Brussels. These cases are selected because of their similar urban growth yet diverse policy and governance contexts. We contend that comparing how urban policies try to address this dilemma can provide a deeper understanding of how policy strategies affect land-use change. The results show that densification indeed decreases the quantity (Amsterdam: −4.7% Brussels: −11.9%), average size (A: −3.1% B: −25.6%) and connectivity of urban greenspaces. Observed land-use changes seem disconnected from purported urban greenspace policies, whereas urban development plans seem to dominate changes in greenspace quantity and form.

Title: Energy use and urbanization as determinants of China’s environmental quality: prospects of the Paris climate agreement
Abstract: 
 Climate change is an environmental problem that humanity will face over the next several decades. Environmental quality has always been an important component of the quality of life. The rapid rise in urbanization and energy use in China has profound environmental consequences. This study investigates the impact of energy use and urbanization on China’s ecological footprint and CO2 emissions from 1971 to 2016. The results reveal the positive relationship between China’s energy use and urbanization, while international trade and capital formation are adversely associated with its CO2 emissions and ecological footprint. Overall, energy use and urbanization deteriorate China’s environmental quality, while international trade and capital formation improve it. The results of Granger causality show bidirectional causality between urbanization and ecological footprint and between ecological footprint and CO2 emissions, while unidirectional causality runs from the ecological footprint to energy use and from international trade to the ecological footprint.

Title: Different kettles of fish: corporate social performance, media legitimacy, and corporate financial performance of Chinese firms
Abstract: 
 Employing stakeholder signaling theory and legitimacy theory, this study seeks to resolve the nexus between corporate social responsibility (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP). This study focuses on the investors’ response and assumes that investors may read the CSP reports through various media and obtain the cognition and attitudes of the firms involved. Therefore, media legitimacy works as an important mediator between CSP and CFP. This paper categorizes CSP into three dimensions: market CSP, environmental CSP, and social CSP. In addition, we categorize media legitimacy into two dimensions: visibility and valence (tone). We study the mediating effects of both visibility and valence for 86 listed firms in China’s markets. The results show that media legitimacy does mediate the relationship between CSP and CFP. Furthermore, the mediating mechanisms differ among market CSP, environmental CSP, and social CSP. The results have important implications for theory and practice.

Title: Sea turtle conservation: volunteers’ experience of symbolic threat
Abstract: 
 Most research on environmental conservation organizations addresses volunteers’ motivations. A few studies analyze volunteers’ production of ecological knowledge and their contributions to science. There is scant research into organization members’ experiences as they perform their roles as conservation volunteers. This study examines the processes through which conservation volunteers derive meaning from their experiences using a case study of a volunteer sea turtle conservation group. Data from semi-structured interviews and field observations reveal conflict-ridden interactions between members of the conservation organization and three other groups: tourists, beach vendors, and the local tourist development council. Conservation volunteers perceive symbolic threat, in the form of value violations, from the other three groups. Symbolic threat influences volunteers’ emotions and behavior. An increased understanding of volunteers’ experiences of threat can suggest ways to make their experience more rewarding, thus increasing their likelihood of continued participation, and ensuring the sustainability of the conservation organization.

Title: Why do public sectors perform high-level green public procurement practice? A new insight with fsQCA approach
Abstract: 
 Despite extensive studies on drivers for public sector’s green public procurement (GPP) practice, existing studies have not yet introduced configuration analysis based on holistic perspective into this field. This study, based on the Chinese background, focuses on the public sector and develops a conceptual model from a holistic perspective. Survey data are collected and we adopt the fsQCA approach for further testing, aiming to explore which combinations of GPP motivators can induce high-level GPP practice by public sectors. It is found that five configurations can induce high-level GPP practice. According to the core condition, these configurations can be further categorized as two groups: “top management support-dominated” and “non-top management support-dominated”. The holistic perspective contributes to a better understanding for GPP practice and a new explanation for the conflicted conclusions of existing studies. The managerial and policy implications are also helpful to public sector managers and policymakers.

Title: Value of cultural worldviews and message framing for the acceptability of sustainable land use zoning policies in post-conflict Somalia
Abstract: 
 Public acceptability is important for sustainable land use zoning policy to be successfully implemented. This study examined the effectiveness of tailoring messages with cultural worldviews to induce positive attitudes and improve public acceptability of sustainable land use zoning policy in a post-conflict setting. A total of 538 participants were randomly divided into three groups. Two were treatment groups and received promotional information about a hypothetical land use zoning policy, and one group was the control group and received no promotional information. The results indicate that information provision results in positive attitudes and higher public acceptability of land use zoning policy. Arguments that correspond to participants' cultural worldviews generated more positive attitudes and higher acceptability than arguments that conflict with their cultural worldviews. This study recommends targeting messages with peoples’ cultural worldviews as an effective strategy in inducing positive attitudes and higher acceptability for sustainable land use zoning policy in Somalia.

Title: Does population and industrial agglomeration exacerbate China’s pollution?
Abstract: 
 The spatial Durbin model is used to explore the effects of population and industrial agglomeration on production and consumption pollution and spatial spillover differences by using provincial panel data from 2000 to 2018 in China. It is found that industrial agglomeration exacerbates production and consumption pollution within and adjacent to regions, and moderate population agglomeration is conducive to optimizing resource allocation and promoting the sharing of pollution control facilities, which can mitigate production and consumption pollution within and adjacent to regions. Although production pollution is in line with the environmental Kuznets curve, economic growth does not alleviate the consumption pollution brought about by daily life. Consumption pollution is mainly influenced by the consumption level, and everyone is the main subject of pollution. Consumption pollution is much more difficult to manage than production pollution and should be managed from the level of consumption demand.

Title: Natural and human-induced drivers of groundwater depletion in Wadi Zabid, Tihama coastal plain, Yemen
Abstract: 
 Groundwater depletion is a problem in many parts the world. We developed an approach to investigate the drivers of groundwater depletion in data-scarce regions. The approach combines natural and human-induced drivers, with the latter focusing on the link between human activities and government policies. We tested the approach in Wadi Zabid, Yemen. Forty years of rainfall-runoff data were analyzed, alongside changes in land cover, groundwater abstraction and related policies. No decrease in rainfall was observed, but runoff did decrease slightly. Significant expansion of agricultural lands led to increased demand for irrigation water, which was provided by drilling wells and building water harvesting/diversion structures. In Wadi Zabid, human activities, stimulated by policy measures, were the main drivers of groundwater depletion (water table here fell by 1 m/yr on average over 1972–2016). We conclude that combining natural and human-induced factors is indeed a valuable approach for investigating groundwater depletion drivers.

Title: An application of the planned behavior theory to predict Chinese firms’ environmental innovation
Abstract: 
 How to drive environmental innovation is the focus of numerous research areas. Based on the theory of planned behavior, this study constructed a driving factor model for environmental innovation. The 2019 annual reports of 116 firms in the steel, coal, chemical, petroleum, building materials and pulp and paper industries were selected as the samples, and the study was conducted using grounded theory. The results showed that firm’s environmental innovation behavior is mainly driven by expected economic benefits, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Expected economic benefits are composed of market development and cost savings. Subjective norms include self-regulation reflecting the green culture of firms, descriptive norms formed by industry competition and environmental protection trends, and injunctive norms formed by government regulations and consumer demand for green products. Perceived behavioral control includes internal resource advantages, constituted by material resources, human resources and financial resources, as well as the external advantages, constituted by social network relationships. This study provides a theoretical basis for how to drive environmental innovation, and also provides a useful reference for the Chinese government to formulate policies to promote environmental innovation.

Title: The economic growth and environmental sustainability nexus: a metanalysis of three economic types
Abstract: 
 Recently, emerging, developed, and developing economies have placed great emphasis on the need to attain environmental sustainability while achieving economic expansion. In an effort to offer possible policy options toward the attainment of sustainable development, this study examines the effect of economic growth on carbon emissions mitigation. Yearly panel data for 44 countries comprised of emerging, developed, and developing economies from 1990 to 2017 is used. To address the gap in the literature, this nexus is examined on seven layers of carbon emissions. This study reveals reliable and robust empirical findings with the use of system and difference general method of moments, random and fixed effects using the Durbin-Wu-Hausman test model, and feasible general least-squares estimation approaches. Our findings indicate that for developed economies, carbon emissions by the power industry have been mitigated and increased domestic credit to the private sector leads to a decrease in all layers of carbon emissions. Nevertheless, gross national income increase negatively impacts emissions by the transport sector. In emerging and developing economies, increased domestic credit to the private sector increases emissions by the power industry, transport sector, buildings, other combustion industries, and other non-major sectors. For all economies, an increase in domestic savings leads to an increase in all layers of carbon emissions. Compared with prior studies that simply focus on gross domestic product and total carbon emissions, our study provides detailed insights on the carbon emissions mitigation efforts by sector and economic group given the true drivers of economic expansion.

Title: Community-based and traditional natural resource conservation in Northern Pakistan: comparative analysis of attitudes and beliefs
Abstract: 
 Community-based conservation is promoted as a strategy for improving resource management through community engagement, while traditional management approaches rely on customary laws and practices to regulate the natural resource use. However, there is little research directly comparing these approaches. We used surveys and interviews to examine attitudes and perceptions of resource management in a traditional use (TU) area and a community-based conservation (CBC) area in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Respondents in the CBC area more consistently cited communal benefits, showed greater willingness to conserve natural resources, and observed greater presence of management. However, these differences were contingent on communal benefits generated in the CBC area that have helped influence attitudes about management. The CBC approach may also be more adaptable to technological and socioeconomic changes that are taxing traditional systems. This comparative analysis demonstrates how CBC may support conservation goals in the face of limited governance capacity and changing socio-economic conditions.

Title: Why is determining peri-urban area boundaries critical for sustainable urban development?
Abstract: 
 In the age of climate change, for many cities around the globe seeking sustainable urban development is a key necessity. Nonetheless, many fail to develop effective policies when it comes to peri-urban growth, where these areas experience rapid land use transition, and become urbanized in a short period of time. Such transition poses a risk to sustainable urban development. This study provides evidence on the consequences of not clearly determining peri-urban area boundaries by placing a metropolitan region under the microscope. The study uses a remote sensing approach to determine peri-urban growth in the Brisbane Metropolitan Region, Australia. The changes that took place for a period of 30 years (1989–2019) are undertaken to map the level of peri-urbanization of the case study region, and the peri-urban area boundary is compared with the regional plan’s growth boundaries. The study findings inform that: (a) There exists a significant contrast between the actual peri-urban area boundary and the boundary estimate upon which the regional plan bases its policies; (b) The lack of a clearly demarcated peri-urban area boundary caused the transition of significant size greenfield sites to urban uses, and; (c) Not clearly determining peri-urban area boundaries jeopardized achieving the region’s sustainable development goals.

Title: Heterogeneous performances and consequences of China’s industrial environmental governance: clean production vs. end-of-pipe treatment
Abstract: 
 Using a relational two-stage network data envelopment analysis (DEA) model considering undesirable outputs, this paper evaluates both the process and system performances of industrial environmental governance in China’s 30 provincial-level regions during 1998–2015. Furthermore, this is the first study to apply the spatial econometric models with a geographical distance matrix to investigate the local and spatial spillover effects of environmental regulations on heterogeneous environmental governance performance (i.e. clean production and end-of-pipe treatment performances). The results show that clean production performance is generally higher than end-of-pipe treatment performance, but both performances present a declining trend during the sample period. The estimation results of the spatial econometric models confirm the Porter hypothesis market-based environmental regulations improve local clean production performance. By contrast, we also find that command-and-control environmental regulations improve end-of-pipe treatment performance but curb clean production performance, and exert a “race-to-the-top” effect on local governments.

Title: Climate change and food security of South Asia: fresh evidence from a policy perspective using novel empirical analysis
Abstract: 
 This study is the first effort to assess the long-term effects of change in climate on crop production in South Asian countries from 1991 to 2016 by employing the second-generation methods robust to cross-sectional dependence and slope heterogeneity. Using panel data with the panel dynamic least squares (PD-LS) method and several co-integration approaches, this study confirmed a long-term co-integration among considered variables. The long-run estimates revealed that climatic variables, including temperature and CO2 emissions, negatively affected crop production, suggesting that a 1% increase in temperature and CO2 emissions reduces crop production by 1.93% and 0.32%, respectively. Conversely, precipitation positively affects crop production in the long-run, indicating that a 1% surge in precipitation increases crop production by 0.52%. Moreover, non-climatic variables including cultivated area, income level, and financial development positively affected crop production in the long-run. Furthermore, a 1% surge in cultivated area, income level, and financial development enhances crop production by 0.29%, 0.13%, and 0.04%, respectively. The outcomes of the Dumitrescu-Hurlin causality test confirmed that the causal link among all variables is significant, and outcomes verify the previous findings. This study suggests that urgent attention should be given to various adaptation strategies, such as credit supply, cropped area expansion, irrigation infrastructure enhancement, and the introduction of improved kinds of major food crops to enhance agricultural productivity. Besides, agricultural extension authorities should provide information about climate change to farming communities to deal with the adverse impacts of sudden climate changes on productivity.

Title: Why citizen scientists volunteer: the influence of motivations, barriers, and perceived project relevancy on volunteer participation and retention from a novel experiment
Abstract: 
 We conducted an experimental study in a country in the Global South, an understudied region, for a citizen science project on water flow. Volunteers received a standard or an experimental training linking volunteers to decision-makers to influence perceptions of project relevancy and participation. We conducted pre- and post-training surveys and interviews to assess motivations, barriers, and perceptions of project relevancy and participation. We found motivations of learning and values enabled, while barriers such as time constrained, participation. Interviews showed continuing volunteers in the experimental training had stronger perceptions of project relevancy compared to the control, but survey results only showed changes in short-term perceptions and no changes to participation. Results suggest participation could be improved by addressing challenges such as time constraints or difficulty organizing others and focusing on motivations such as learning and values, but further research is needed on how involvement of decision makers in citizen science can influence participation.

Title: Accelerating innovation for the Dutch bioeconomy transition: the case of biobased asphalt
Abstract: 
 This article explores and explains the factors affecting the development of biobased innovations for the Dutch bioeconomy transition. Qualitative analysis through semi-structured interviews and secondary data was made on Bioasphalt as a case study to extract these factors from the empirical situation. Due to the scarcity of literature on biobased innovation for the bioeconomy, this research offers a base for policy makers to position the biobased innovations into the circular economy plans. The findings show that the urgency factor associated with the circular economy implantation has negatively affected the development of biobased innovations. On a micro level, the analyzed factors will assist niche actors in accelerating their biobased solutions. Although the innovation ecosystem structure highly depends on the nature of the technology or product, studies using similar approaches will allow for the generalization of the results.

Title: Indicators for sustainable touristic destinations: a critical review
Abstract: 
 Globally, tourism is currently one of the fastest-growing industries, with strong impacts on territories, from an environmental, economic and social point of view. The increase in the number of tourists who flock to destinations requires greater attention to sustainability through tools (indicators) such as strategic destination management support. This paper, through the review of 104 scientific papers, aims to analyze the structure and evolution of the evaluation and monitoring of sustainable tourism through the use of sets of indicators. In particular, the study favors the understanding of the most significant aspects of sustainable tourism that the literature suggests to analyze, evaluating how these vary in relation to the type of destination and the time period of the study. The results contribute to the understanding of the theoretical and operational aspects which, today, are considered representative of the concept of sustainable tourism, improving the sustainable management of territories.

Title: Nexus between carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth in G7 countries: fresh insights via wavelet coherence analysis
Abstract: 
 This study aims to revisit the evidence of co-movement and lead-lag nexus between carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth in G7 countries over a period of two centuries by using the wavelet coherence analysis. The key findings reveal (i) a cyclical relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and GDP per capita, which implies that during the upswing phase of business cycles, economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions both grow, but the latter can be predicted using GDP as an indicator function at the 1- to 2-year scale. (ii) A time-scale bidirectional causality between carbon dioxide emissions and GDP per capita. This implies that carbon dioxide emissions cannot be reduced without adversely affecting economic growth. Further, the finding also implies a rapid adoption of alternative clean energy sources to reduce carbon dioxide emissions without depressing economic growth.

Title: Airline efficiency measures considering undesirable outputs: an application of a network slack-based measures with double frontiers
Abstract: 
 In the context of stricter environmental regulations and more intense market competition, how to improve the efficiency of airlines has become a hot topic. In this paper, we construct a Network Slack-Based Measures (NSBM) model with double frontiers to evaluate airlines from an optimistic perspective, a pessimistic view, and the integration of optimistic and pessimistic viewpoints. The empirical study is based on data for 24 global airlines in 2018 and considers two situations when there is only crisp data and when there exists interval data. A three-stage network model (including operation stage, service stage, and sales stage) is constructed to explore the driving factors of airline efficiency. The results show that optimistic efficiency targets efficient stages, while pessimistic efficiency is more capable of finding the inefficient stages.

Title: The impact of the new energy demonstration city policy on the green total factor productivity of resource-based cities: empirical evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China
Abstract: 
 The new energy demonstration city policy (NEDC), an essential economic system aiming to implement innovative development strategies and energy structure transformations in China, is crucial for solving the current plight of resource-based cities. This paper studies the effect of the implementation of the NEDC on the green total factor productivity (GTFP) of resource-based cities in China; understanding this relation is of great significance for the further promotion of the NEDC. For this purpose, the SBM-undesirable model is employed to measure GTFP. The propensity score matching and difference-in-difference (PSM-DID) model and the mediation effect model are also utilized to empirically examine the impact of the NEDC on GTFP across a dataset of 106 resource-based cities between 2005 and 2016. The empirical results indicate that the NEDC can significantly improve the GTFP of resource-based cities. After both counterfactual and common trend tests are performed, the research conclusion of this paper is still robust. Moreover, the NEDC promotes the GTFP of resource-based cities through structural effects, technological innovation effects, and fiscal support effects. Furthermore, the effect of the NEDC on GTFP is also affected by the regions, sizes, and types of the different resource-based cities. This research provides evidence for the ability of the NEDC to improve GTFP and optimize the spatial layout of new energy demonstration cities in resource-based cities.

Title: Identifying potential adopters of aquaponic farming
Abstract: 
 Integrating fish and plant culture by means of aquaponics has many advantages but is unpopular as a commercial practice. This study identifies barriers to the adoption of aquaponics, and quantitatively predicts potential adoption of aquaponics by Israeli farmers, as a case study. We predict that only a small proportion (4–17%) of potential farmers in Israel would adopt aquaponics within 10 to 12 years from initial exposure. Farmers with the highest predicted rates of adoption were organic growers, followed by fish farmers. Raising profitability would double to triple predicted adoption levels in most grower populations.

Title: Corporate environmental responsibility and employees’ pro-environmental behaviors at work: insights from organizational identification and workplace spirituality perspective
Abstract: 
 Although corporate environmental responsibility (CER) can influence employees’ attitudes and behaviors, little research has been done to explain the effect of different dimensions of CER (e.g. substantive and symbolic CER) on employees’ pro-environmental behaviors at work, and further to explore the underlying mechanism and the boundary condition of this effect. This research built a theoretical model to explain how and when substantive and symbolic CER influences employees’ pro-environmental behaviors. 188 matched supervisor-subordinate dyads were collected from the manufacturing industries in China. The findings revealed that substantive CER has a positive effect on employees’ pro-environmental behaviors. However, symbolic CER has a negative effect on employees’ pro-environmental behaviors. Furthermore, substantive CER also significantly and indirectly affects employees’ pro-environmental behaviors via organizational identification, while symbolic CER has no significantly indirect effect on employees’ pro-environmental behaviors via organizational identification. In addition, employees’ workplace spirituality moderates the effect of CER on their pro-environmental behaviors.

Title: Zoned, but not resolved: balancing environmental conservation and local development through comprehensive land use planning in Rondane, Norway
Abstract: 
 In 2007, the Norwegian Ministry of Environment initiated an unprecedented project of environmental conservation through land use planning, introducing buffer zones as measures to integrate local development with conservation of wild reindeer. Through studies of national policy developments and a case study of a planning processes and spatial zoning, using institutional theory, the paper investigates how competing policies and understandings of appropriate activities in the edge areas are reflected in zoning regulations and planning practice, and whether the buffer zone contributes to resolving conflicts in the edge areas. Competing national policies for the edge areas, a legal development favoring ecological buffering and a history of top-down management and local socio-economic marginalization results in removal of large parts of an existing ecological buffer zone and the creation of a new development zone. The integrated conservation and development approach has no advocates and while bearing much promise amounts to little.

Title: Environmental impact of infrastructure-led Chinese outward FDI, tourism development and technology innovation: a regional country analysis
Abstract: 
 Investment and construction of energy and transport-related infrastructure are closely linked to the achievement of sustainable development goals. China’s infrastructure-led foreign investment, technical integration, and tourism with Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries have maintained exponential growth. This growth certainly has an impact on economic development mode and environmental sustainability. Therefore, this study examines the impact of infrastructure-led Chinese outward foreign direct investment, tourism development, and technology innovation on carbon emissions across the selected BRI node countries and respective regions. This study employs cross-sectional autoregressive distributive lag model to deal with parameters and cross-sectional heterogeneity. The results exhibit that foreign direct investment and technology innovation reduces carbon emissions in the long run, while tourism development and its interaction with foreign direct investment led to higher emissions in the overall BRI sample. In contrast, the regional estimates show significant variations in the magnitude and direction of the relationship, where foreign direct investment produces an emissions-increasing effect in South Asian and MENA countries. Moreover, the results support the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis in overall and regional samples. These results are also endorsed by common correlated effects means group estimator and imply relevant policies.

Title: Understanding the effects of spatial planning on the deployment of on-shore wind power: insights from Italy and the UK
Abstract: 
 Despite sustained interest in spatial planning approaches for steering renewable energy development, the effect of these practices remains poorly understood. This paper addresses this knowledge deficit through comparative analysis of the effects of spatial planning approaches on wind energy deployment in Italy and the UK. Our approach elucidates the different roles that spatial planning approaches can perform using a “modes of governing” framework that, innovatively, recognizes the unavoidable compromises involved in their construction. Several distinctive findings emerge. First, governments deploy spatial planning approaches with different governance purposes, thus explaining why the effects on RE outcomes can be ambiguous. Second, many of the challenges that beset spatial planning approaches arise not from technical-methodological issues but from difficult-to-resolve governance challenges of cross-scalar coordination. Third, we show that the efficacy of spatial planning approaches in shaping RE deployment is contextual in nature, reflecting how far their inherent compromises are accepted by key actors.

Title: Evaluation of cost efficiency in hydropower-related biodiversity restoration projects in Sweden – a stochastic frontier approach
Abstract: 
 Various restoration projects intended to mitigate the adverse ecological effects of hydropower plants, e.g. by restoration of fish habitats and spawning grounds, have been implemented in different parts of the world. However, it is unclear whether these projects are in line with least-cost principles. In this study, we estimated the cost efficiency level for different biodiversity mitigation measures in Sweden by using stochastic frontier analysis with data from 245 projects in Sweden that were carried out between 1987 and 2013. The results indicated evidence of cost inefficiency in the projects, which had an average efficiency score of 53%, suggesting a potential to reduce costs by 47%. Project ownership by private entities compared with municipalities showed a statistically significant reduction of the cost inefficiency score. This points out a possibility of reducing the total cost of restoration by targeting relatively efficient project owners.

Title: Dilemmas of public goods provisioning: institutional mechanisms for agricultural drainage management in Ohio, USA
Abstract: 
 Institutions are critical for collective action around several environmental policy issues. A seldom-studied issue, agricultural drainage, provides a rich setting to examine how institutional mechanisms interact with two variables linked to collective action: group size and heterogeneity. In this study, we examine institutions for establishing and maintaining agricultural drainage systems in the Western Lake Erie Basin region of Ohio. Specifically, we examine whether and how drainage management institutions interact with two variables, group size and heterogeneity in benefits and costs, for solving the public-good dilemmas of agricultural drainage. Data for this study come from a comparative case study design, using semi-structured in-depth interviews, and a landowner survey. Results suggest that the Olson effect for group size is mediated by institution type, and heterogeneity in benefits and costs is mediated by fairness perceptions, in affecting incentives for collective action. We discuss our findings in light of theories of collective action.

Title: Theoretical frameworks in climate change adaptation planning: a comparative study in coastal cities of developing countries1
Abstract: 
 Climate change adaptation has shifted from a single-dimension to an integrative approach that aligns with vulnerability and resilience concepts. Adaptation planning, correspondingly, is guided by three frameworks categorized as the hazard-based, the vulnerability-based, and the urban resilience framework. Exploring in which ways these frameworks affect the proposed adaptation initiatives is crucial for planners to justify the well-fit approach for adaptation planning. This study seeks to examine the influence of these theoretical frameworks on the formulation of adaptation initiatives with a sample of 45 coastal cities in developing countries. The vulnerability framework is found to tackle the issues of climate change sufficiently while the hazard-based approach shares resources for both climate change and other matters, and the urban resilience framework puts more effort into other issues rather than climate change. From these findings, the study offers implications for adaptation planning in applying each of these three frameworks.

Title: Asymmetric effects of tourism development and green innovation on economic growth and carbon emissions in top 10 GDP countries
Abstract: 
 This study aims to evaluate the impacts of international tourism development and green technology innovation on economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in the top 10 GDP countries between 1995 and 2018. Our preliminary findings reject the preposition of data normality, which instigate us to apply a novel method of moments quantile regression. The overall results suggest that international tourism development facilitates economic growth and increases carbon dioxide emissions asymmetrically across the different levels of economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions. Specifically, the economic growth impacts are relatively large for the comparatively more developed nations while the adverse environmental impacts are relatively larger for the comparatively less-polluted nations; thus, the tourism led-economic growth hypothesis is verified. On the other hand, green technology innovation is found to facilitate economic growth and mitigate carbon dioxide emissions, especially in the context of the relatively more developed and polluted economies.

Title: Predicting residents’ adoption of living environment improvement practices toward sustainable development: the role of internet use
Abstract: 
 Improving the living environment through household efforts remains a challenge for many developing countries. Little attention has been given to the role of Internet use in previous studies. Based on the Attitude Behavior Context (A-B-C) theory, this paper builds a theoretical framework where Internet use affects residents’ adoption of living environment improvement practices (LEIPs). Using large-scale household survey data from China, this paper adopts the recursive bivariate probit model to overcome the endogeneity biases and investigate the treatment effects of Internet use on residents’ adoption of integrated flushing toilets (IFT) and centralized disposal of domestic waste (CDDW). The results indicate that Internet use increases the likelihood of adopting IFT and CDDW by 24.5% and 19.0% respectively for Internet users. Besides, the counterfactual results show that the possibility of adopting IFT and CDDW will increase by 28.8% and 26.4% respectively if they use the Internet. Moreover, residents who are female, the CPC members, having more years of education and higher household income are more likely to adopt LEIPs. Additionally, the results show evidence of regional heterogeneity. Overall, the impact of Internet use on LEIPs adoption is larger for residents in less-developed and urban areas. The findings suggest that policies embedded with expanding Internet access shall help to promote the sustainable improvement of residents’ living environment.

Title: Can the construction of low-carbon cities reduce haze pollution?
Abstract: 
 Based on the relation analysis through the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model, this study investigates the effect of the construction of low-carbon cities on haze pollution in China by using the Difference in Differences-Propensity Score Matching (PSM-DID) method. In addition, we examine the influencing mechanism of low-carbon city construction on haze pollution, namely technical innovation effect, industrial structure effect and population quality effect. The results show that the construction of low-carbon cities has not effectively reduced haze pollution in pilot cities. Further study shows that the failure of the reduction effect on haze pollution may lie in the ineffectiveness of technical innovation effect and population quality effect of low-carbon city construction, as well as the regional heterogeneity. Finally, we propose several recommendations in terms of overall construction strategies, green development of technology and industry, and regional heterogeneous policies to better alleviate China’s haze pollution through the construction of low-carbon cities.

Title: Effect of total quality management on business sustainability: the mediating role of green supply chain management practices
Abstract: 
 The practices of manufacturing organizations contribute massively to the increasing deterioration of the environment in developing countries. However, there is data paucity and limited studies on how manufacturing organizations could tackle this problem. This study aimed to examine the explanatory link of green supply chain management practices (GSCMPs) between total quality management (TQM) and business sustainability (BS) in Palestinian small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A total of 287 manufacturing SME’s owners, top managers and legal representatives participated in the study, and the survey instrument was analyzed using the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results revealed that TQM had a positive influence on GSCMPs and BS. Furthermore, GSCMPs plays a mediating role between TQM and BS. Based on these findings and from the perspective of a developing country, a research model involving the assessment of both individual and combined influence of TQM and GSCMPs on BS was proposed. In this study, TQM was modeled as an antecedent of GSCMPs, which has rarely been investigated in the developing country context. Hence, adding to the body of knowledge and advocation to tackle environmental challenges in developing countries.

Title: Horizontal ecological compensation mechanism and technological progress: theory and empirical study of Xin’an River Ecological Compensation Gambling Agreement
Abstract: 
 The Xin’an River ecological compensation mechanism is China’s first horizontal compensation mechanism to improve the ecological environment of the downstream areas and increase the fiscal revenues of the upstream areas. Although the amount invested in the program is increasing every year, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the impact of the program. Based on the Levinsohn–Petrin method and a comprehensive dataset of Chinese industrial companies from 2009 to 2015, we employed the k-nearest neighbor propensity score matching–difference-in-difference (PSM-DID) to explore the impact of the Xin’an River Ecological Compensation Gambling Agreement (ECGA) on company technological progress and its drive mechanism. The empirical results show that ECGA inhibits the technological progress of upstream industrial companies and has more pronounced inhibitory effects for heavy-polluting companies. ECGA indirectly inhibits the technological progress in upstream companies by affecting profitability, scale, human capital, foreign direct investment, and management efficiency.

Title: Does the development of smart cities help protect the environment?
Abstract: 
 Smart city is a recent concept that has progressed considerably. However, studies on changes induced by smart city development have been lacking. To date, the association of environmental pollution with smart city construction is purely hypothetical without any direct evidence. Effect of smart city construction on environmental pollution is innovatively examined in this study by exploiting the smart city project in China as an exogenous change in the development of smart cities and using a difference-in-differences framework. Results showed that the construction of smart cities significantly reduces environmental pollution. The main analysis is robust to a variety of model specifications. Mechanisms through which the smart city project affects the upgrading of industrial structure, technological progress in pollution reduction, and increase in greening are provided and empirically identified.

Title: Putting nature centre stage? The challenges of ‘mainstreaming’ biodiversity in the planning process
Abstract: 
 This article explores how international biodiversity commitments (Aichi targets) made in 2010 have been incorporated into spatial planning policy in England. The article analyses the moral, scientific and instrumental arguments underlying the Aichi targets and how they are reflected in the National Planning Policy Framework for England, together with views on the spatial planning approach to biodiversity expressed by local actors in spatial planning. The article concludes that biodiversity has been ‘mainstreamed’ in English spatial planning policy, but with spatial variations in policy approach between protected sites and the wider countryside and urban areas and with responsibility for biodiversity enhancement in the wider countryside and urban areas relying mainly on local policy and instrumental arguments that are likely to lead to tensions over the ‘replaceability’ of nature. The concept of connectivity is identified as key to a successful biodiversity strategy, but challenges to achieving connectivity in practice are identified.

Title: Corruption, market segmentation and haze pollution: empirical evidence from China
Abstract: 
 Corruption and market segmentation generally result from inter-regional resource allocation mechanism at the level of government and market, and it is of great significance to clarify their effects on haze pollution for the healthy development of the regional economy. With theoretical analysis, this paper applies systematic GMM to examine the impact of corruption on haze pollution. The mediatory effect model is used to further evaluate the mediatory effect of market segmentation by using panel data for 30 provinces in China from 2006 to 2018. The evaluations reveal that corruption positively affects haze pollution at the 1% significance level and has a prominent “time inertia”. After alleviation of the endogenous problem and a series of robustness tests, this conclusion remains valid. Based on national samples, corruption, especially environmental corruption, not only directly provokes an increase in haze pollution, but also aggravates it through market segmentation, and, the impact of corruption on haze pollution in different regions and at different periods has significant heterogeneity. Therefore, policymakers should start from the institutional mechanism to curb haze pollution by improving the performance appraisal system. Moreover, the synergistic effect between anti-corruption and governance on the environment should be enhanced by improving the anti-corruption management system. Local protectionism should be eliminated to promote the integration of regional markets. A unified, open and organized market system should be established to form the synergy of governance on the environment.

Title: Exploring factors influencing the application accuracy of the theory of planned behavior in explaining recycling behavior
Abstract: 
 In this paper, meta-analysis was carried out to explore the influence of socio-economics, research design, theoretical construction, and measurement factors on the five paths among the elements of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The findings suggested that (i) subjective norm shows relatively poor explanatory efficacy due to narrow measurement range; (ii) perceived behavioral control shows the lowest explanatory efficacy because of missing the measurement of perceived control; (iii) there are too few items to measure the recycling intention, making the measurement inaccurate in reflecting participants’ psychological performance; (iv) the application accuracy of TPB increases with the sample size, which should be no less than 600; (v) introducing additional variables degrades the application accuracy of TPB in most cases due to their high correlation with standard elements; and (vi) research time, local economic level, participant’s characteristics, and waste type also affect the application accuracy. Finally, improvement suggestions were also provided.

Title: Machine learning data-driven approaches for land use/cover mapping and trend analysis using Google Earth Engine
Abstract: 
 With the recent advances in earth observation technologies, the increasing availability of data from more and more different satellite sensors as well as progress in semi-automated and automated classification techniques enable the (semi-) automated remote monitoring and analysis of large areas. Online platforms such as Google Earth Engine (GEE) bring data-driven techniques to the desktops of researchers while changing workflows and making excessive data downloads redundant. We present a study that utilizes machine learning algorithms on the GEE cloud computing platform for land use/land cover (LULC) mapping and change detection analysis using a Landsat satellite image time series. We applied different machine learning techniques to data from an environmentally sensitive area in Northern Iran. We tested their efficiency for LULC mapping and change detection analysis using the support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF) and classification and regression tree (CART). We obtained LULC maps for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020. Training data was collected from field operations and historical datasets, and the respective LULC maps were validated using ground control points. In addition, we validated the reliability of the results through a spatial uncertainty analysis using Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST). The resulting accuracies of the classification outcomes varied significantly. SVM performed best with accuracies of 90.25%, 91.84%, 89.02%, 93.35% and 95.65% for 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020, respectively. The spatial uncertainty analysis also validated the efficiency of SVM compared to RF and CART. The results confirm the potential of machine learning techniques for time series LULC mapping on the GEE platform while lowering the barriers to analyzing large amounts of satellite data. The results are also critical for decision-makers and authorities for analyzing the LULC changes and developing the respective environmental protection and polices in Northern Iran.

Title: Under the dam’s feet: an ethnographic study of water flow in India’s Narmada River basin
Abstract: 
 A river is, by definition, a body of flowing water. A dam-induced water flow regulation affects its physicality and socio-political character. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 6.6 focused on protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems, including rivers, by 2020. In that sense, we aim to examine the political potential of water flow regulation as an urgent environmental concern in the context of a technology-based river regulatory mechanism. We employ conceptual discourses of depoliticization and repoliticization to explain how large-scale water controlling practices enact flow management and how such practices are challenged through grassroots mobilization. The article findings are based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Omkareshwar, India, during 2017–19, on the community’s everyday struggle due to erratic downstream flow in the Narmada River basin. We conclude by highlighting the need to subdue the existing depoliticized polity by an upward scaling of the repoliticization process for advancing the locals’ claims to regular flow.

Title: Urban flood resilience, a multi-level institutional analysis of planning practices in the Metropolitan City of Naples
Abstract: 
 Due to increasing flood risks, urban planners and water managers are called to enhance urban flood resilience. The implementation of resilience measures requires coordination across levels of government. This study aims to unravel the complexity of implementing spatial strategies to enhance urban flood resilience in the Metropolitan City of Naples. The research is informed by the politicized Institutional Analysis and Development framework, which relates contextual variables, discourses, and institutions (formal\informal rules-in-use) to policy outcomes. This framework is used to explain the outcomes of decision-making in multiple nested action arenas on urban flood risk management policies. It is shown that closed decision-making processes that do not involve lower levels of government, limited monitoring and enforcement, and illegal practices lead to poor coordination across levels of government. This lack of coordination explains why floodplain occupancy continues, thus hampering the shift towards a risk-based approach in flood risk management.

Title: Evaluation of environmental actions by local citizens – a choice modeling application
Abstract: 
 Little is known about citizens’ judgment of nature conservation actions financed by public funds. The present work contributes to this topic with empirical evidence coming from a Choice Modeling (CM) study designed in an innovative mode. Using the participatory budget format, a CM exercise elicited respondents’ choice between the allocation of public funds for nature conservation actions versus other actions (e.g. social or economic interventions). The case study comprises an EU-LIFE project managed by a Portuguese municipality. Results highlight the importance of awareness of and accessibility to environmental goods, as those that are more willing to pay use the area for leisure activities and have a greater knowledge about it. In addition, we suggest that CM can be used as a tool to uncover citizens’ preferences regarding public budget allocation which can contribute to a democratization of decision making at this level.

Title: Synergizing a socio-ecological system: reflections on community-based natural resource management at the World Heritage Site of Mount Huangshan, China
Abstract: 
 Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) originally aimed to promote nature conservation through community empowerment, but this aim is not easy to achieve. To analyze the reasons and propose responses, this paper constructed an analytical framework for CBNRM based on the theory of socio-ecological system synergies. A mixed-method (questionnaires, interviews, and observations) explanatory case study of Feicui village within the Mount Huangshan World Natural Heritage Site in Eastern China was conducted. The research illuminates the complexity of the CBNRM initiative in Feicui village, which neglects socio-ecological system synergies, leading to a lack of connection between the benefits from and attitudes toward natural conservation and a loss of integrated resource management. This study responds to the incomprehensibility of CBNRM and provides important theoretical contributions to international debates on CBNRM by highlighting the essence of recognizing system synergies to avoid deviating from the original intent of CBNRM.

Title: The benefits of action on implementing carbon taxation in Ireland: a demand system approach
Abstract: 
 We employ the Affine Stone Index demand system and Irish data to quantify the distributional effects of additional carbon taxes, taking into account the monetary benefits of action. We estimated the avoided economic damages from climate change, and the monetary value of the avoided emissions using willingness to pay from the literature. When these benefits of action are included in the metric for tax incidence, the tax burden decreases considerably. In addition, when the benefits disproportionately benefit low income households, carbon taxes are no longer regressive. We also analyze a flat and a pro-poor revenue allocation. We found that while these instruments reduce vertical inequalities (i.e. across income levels), they can increase horizontal inequalities (within income levels). We show that these instruments can reduce the environmental savings attributed to the additional carbon tax. However, this problem can be minimized by a partial allocation of additional revenues.

Title: Mapping Green, Lean, Six Sigma enablers through the lens of a construction sector: an emerging economy’s perspective
Abstract: 
 Resource conservation, sustainability, quality, and cost control have been considered significant issues for the construction sector worldwide. Green Lean Six Sigma not only improves quality, process flow, resource conservation, and environmental performance but also minimizes cost, waste, and lead time. The construction sector in Pakistan is struggling to adopt sustainable and quality-oriented practices. In this context, this paper aims to identify Green Lean Six Sigma enablers from the perspective of Pakistan’s construction industry. Interpretive Structural Modelling consolidated with the Fuzzy Matrice d’Impacts Croises – Multipication Applique a classement technique, was employed to establish an ISM model and measure fuzzy indirect interactions, strengths, effectiveness and categorization of enablers. The findings signify that the most significant driving enablers are government support and incentives, availability of financial resources, top-management determination to enhance sustainability, and organizational capability and quality maturity level for GLS operations. These results could facilitate practitioners, policymakers, and government by providing insights to promote GLS methods for the sustainable growth of the construction sector. This study will assist practitioners and policymakers in developing appropriate strategies considering the intricate relationships and intensity of influence among Green, Lean and Six Sigma enablers during GLS adoption. Researchers can identify and analyze the elements related to their industries and country. Society will benefit in terms of health and the environmentally friendly built environment.

Title: Accelerating the adoption of water sensitive innovations: community perceptions of practices and technologies to mitigate urban stormwater pollution
Abstract: 
 Water management increasingly focuses on tackling stormwater pollution to improve waterway health. Community members have a role in adopting pollution-reduction practices and supporting technologies such as water sensitive urban design. However, because communities are unfamiliar with these practices and technologies, little is known about how they make sense of these ‘water sensitive innovations’. Drawing on Diffusion of Innovations theory, we conduct focus groups across different regions of Australia. Our findings indicate that key barriers to adoption included poor understanding of the relative advantage of these practices and technologies, and perceived poor compatibility with community members’ lifestyle and local geography. In turn, appraisals of relative advantage were constrained by limited observability of stormwater pollution and the benefits that innovations generate for people and the environment. Our findings suggest engagement strategies should emphasize the relevance and advantages of water sensitive innovations, and help individuals visualize the intangible elements of stormwater pollution management.

Title: The mediating role of CSR on the relationship between gender diversity and risk taking
Abstract: 
 Existing literature is inconclusive about the relationship between gender diversity and risk taking and prior researchers assume, implicitly, that this relationship is direct. Conflicting results have led us to consider that a direct link is too simplistic and that this relationship can be mediated by other contextual variables. This is the first study to investigate the mediating effect of corporate social responsibility on the relationship between gender diversity and risk taking. A Structural Equation Model is used on a sample of 91 listed French firms on SBF over the period 2008–2018. Our results show that (1) CSR is positively associated with gender diversity; (2) CSR is negatively linked to firm risk; and (3) gender diversity impacts risk-taking in part through CSR mediation. Our findings are robust to several model specifications. It has important implications for shareholders and regulators, namely by highlighting the important role played by CSR in addressing this relationship.

Title: Does business strategy drive corporate environmental information disclosure?
Abstract: 
 This study attempted to investigate the impact of business strategy on corporate environmental information disclosure. We further explored whether the relationship between business strategy and environmental information disclosure is moderated by CEO power, industry competition, and government regulation. The research sample consisted of 1,530 firms listed in Chinese Stock “A” markets from the year 2013 to 2017. The results indicated that firms adopting prospector business strategy tend to disclose more environmental information. Besides, the relationship between business strategy and environmental information disclosure is strengthened when the CEO has more power, firms located in moderately competitive industries, and firms face more rigorous government regulation. Overall, this study provides specific policy implications for regulatory agencies and suggestions for the sustainable development of firms.

Title: Structural paths of changes in CO2 emissions in the Chinese construction industry
Abstract: 
 The construction industry contributes significantly to CO2 emissions in China. Understanding the changes in construction CO2 emissions is important for mitigating the emissions. This study examined the structural paths of changes in construction CO2 emissions in China during 2002–2017 by using structural path decomposition analysis. The results demonstrate that construction CO2 emissions increased considerably during the periods of 2002–2007, 2007–2012, and 2012–2017. The final demand effect contributed most to the emission increases, followed by the production structure effect and energy intensity effect. The critical paths contributing to the production structure effect were also identified. “Non-metallic mineral products industry→construction industry” was the critical path to the emission increases. On this path, the final demand effect and energy intensity effect were the main drivers. This study’s findings can help policymakers better understand the dynamics of construction CO2 emissions and thus formulate effective policies to reduce the emissions.

Title: Accounting for subsistence needs in non-market valuation: a simple proposal
Abstract: 
 Revealed and stated preference techniques are widely used to assess willingness to pay (WTP) for non-market goods as input to public and private decision-making. However, individuals first have to satisfy subsistence needs through market good consumption, which affects their ability to pay. We provide a methodological framework and derive a simple ex post adjustment factor to account for this effect. We quantify its impacts on the WTP for non-market goods and the ranking of projects theoretically, numerically and empirically. This confirms that non-adjusted WTP tends to be plutocratic: the views of the richest – whatever they are – are more likely to impact decision-making, potentially leading to ranking reversal between projects. We also suggest that the subsistence needs-based adjustment factor we propose has a role to play in value transfer procedures. The overall goal is a better representation of the entire population’s preferences with regard to non-market goods.

Title: When access is not just access: unveiling the administrative agendas pertaining to coastal access in California
Abstract: 
 Opening and maintaining public access to the coast, as it is for any coastal management agencies in the US, has long been one of the prime missions of the California Coastal Commission. In this article, we ask: what are the administrative agendas latent in coastal access in California? Using webscraping, we collected over 10,000 staff reports prepared by the Commission between 1996 and 2016 and examined how the agency used the permitting process to attain its missions. Using the topic modeling technique, we identified 18 key administrative agendas in the staff reports pertaining to public access. These agendas reveal a wide spectrum of environmental protection strategies that the Commission pursued along with maintaining public access. While some of these topics narrowly focus on coastal accessibility (e.g. easements, trails and paths), and utilization (e.g. recreational activities, piers, parking), many of them extend beyond and cover broader, more controversial environmental agendas, such as shoreline and sensitive habitat protection. We also explored the stability of these administrative agendas over time. We observed notable stability in these efforts in the past two decades, despite personnel changes.

Title: Predictors of pro-environmental behavior: Moderating role of knowledge sharing and mediatory role of perceived environmental responsibility
Abstract: 
 The climate crisis is accelerating at an unprecedented rate which can be overcome by depicting pro-environmental behaviors in personal, household, and industrial consumption areas. Grounded on the social ideal theory, the current study aims to examine the direct as well as the indirect impact of Environmental Knowledge (EK) and Environmental Concern (EC) on citizens’ Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB) while studying Perceived Environmental Responsibility (PER) as a mediator. Moreover, the moderating role of Knowledge Sharing (KS) has also been investigated between EK and PEB. Surveying 581 citizens of twin cities, i.e. Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan, at two different times. Results depicted that citizens’ EK and EC positively and significantly impact their PEB directly as well as through an underlying mechanism of PER. Moreover, the interactive effect of KS with EK has been found to enhance citizens’ PEB. Overall, this research brings multiple theoretical and policy implications with future research directions.

Title: China’s outward FDI and environmental sustainability in belt and road countries: does the quality of institutions matter?
Abstract: 
 This study aims to unravel the environmental effects of institutional quality in relationship with China’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries. The empirical analysis is conducted over the period 2003–2018, using the System-GMM approach with the Windmeijer finite-sample correction. We infer that China’s FDI has a detrimental effect on environmental quality, which validates the ‘pollution haven hypothesis’ in the BRI region. Importantly, the interaction effect of China’s FDI with indicators of institutional quality yields negative and significant results. This entails that strong institutions can boost the quality of the environment through FDI attractiveness. In further assessment, the threshold levels of institutional quality are calculated, beyond which China’s FDI can reduce carbon emissions in the BRI region. This substantiates both the pollution haven and pollution halo hypotheses. The study underscores the importance of institutional reform in the quest for sustainable development, owing to the fact that most economies prioritize FDI-led growth strategies.

Title: Social capital and farmers’ leadership in Iranian rural communities: application of social network analysis
Abstract: 
 This study aimed to analyze the role of social capital and leadership in improving the adaptive capacity of Iranian pistachio farmers by using Social Network Analysis (SNA). The results indicate that the studied network is not a dense network, and there are few reciprocal and face-to-face relations among farmers. The findings also illustrate that in all cooperative links, there were no noticeable bridging links among the farmers and their tendency toward bonding links, indicating less bridging social capital at the three studied villages. The nature of relationships in social networks will improve if the quality of communication between individuals in a network and actors from other networks and villages is enhanced. This can increase the productivity of social networks and lead to higher quality resources, better support, development of useful information between networks and improvement in farmers’ adaptive capacity.

Title: Social capital and residents’ plastic recycling behaviors in China
Abstract: 
 Plastic waste has become a significant challenge for waste managers currently. Recycling is an important measure to reduce the associated environmental impacts. However, the recycling rate for plastic waste is low. As a notably contextual and collectivist society, China is a major consumer and waste treater of plastics. In this context, social capital may be a vital factor of Chinese plastic recycling behavior (PRB) but without enough attention. This study explores the role and mechanism of social capital on Chinese residents’ PRB based on an extended Theory of Planned Behavior model. Primary data collected from 803 residents in China was used to test the model empirically. The results show that social capital (trust, social norms and social networks) significantly influence PRB. Furthermore, personal norms and attitude are mediators between social capital and PRB. Additionally, perceived behavioral control weaken the effect of social norms on PRB.

Title: Improving wildfire management outcomes: shifting the paradigm of wildfire from simple to complex risk
Abstract: 
 Numerous wildfire management agencies and institutions rely primarily on simple risk approaches to wildfire that focus on technical risk assessments that do not reflect the complexity of contemporary wildfire risk. This review paper argues that such insufficiently complex conceptualizations of risk, which do not account for the social and ecological diversity of fire-prone areas, are key contributors to the continued wildfire dilemma. We discuss distinctions between approaching wildfire as a simple and a complex risk and illuminate the need for expanded and complimentary ways to further fire adaptation. We then share five principles to guide approaching wildfire as a complex risk to increase adaptation to and coexistence with wildfire. Such efforts are more likely to yield socially relevant and legitimate strategies for building wildfire adapted communities by recognizing and accounting for the complexities of wildfire governance amongst a variety of stakeholders who may operate at various scales using different knowledge systems.

Title: Will the increase in local land-based revenues lead to an improvement in environmental quality? An empirical study through the lens of land finance in China
Abstract: 
 The issue of environmental governance has received considerable attention. While extensive research focuses on the relationship between economic growth and environmental protection, this paper provides a different perspective by exploring the mechanisms affecting the relationship between land-based revenue and environmental performance. Based on the regression analyses of province-level data during 2000-2018 in China, the results show that: (1) land-based finance has a significantly positive impact on air pollution; (2) both central government policies and local residents’ concerns incentivize local governments to improve environmental quality through land revenue; (3) regional differences exist regarding the impact of these two factors, probably due to various development stages and financial conditions; (4) local governments tend to increase expenditure on environmental protection by taking residents’ concerns into consideration. This research contributes to understanding the driving forces behind the relationship between land finance and environmental performance, and it extends our knowledge of local governments’ decision-making processes to accomplish multiple tasks.

Title: Conceptualizing linkages between community well-being and access to public space: an environmental justice perspective
Abstract: 
 This conceptual paper explores theoretical linkages between community well-being and key dimensions of public spaces (i.e., physical characteristics, technical experts, and communities). It draws on environmental justice literature and the Tripartite Framework to contextualize the concept of access to public spaces. The nexus between the key dimensions of public spaces and community well-being are explored by drawing on the Network Theory of Wellbeing. The main contribution of this paper is its merging of the aforementioned seminal work (i.e., Tripartite Framework and Network Theory of Wellbeing), two important bodies of scholarship that have yet to intersect but which offer a formidable platform to advance knowledge on how technical (e.g. planners), social (i.e. communities) and physical (e.g. built spaces like parks) dimensions of public space production can contribute to communal benefits derived from a public resource and community well-being. The applicability of the conceptual synthesis is illustrated through the discussion of specific examples in Maryvale.

Title: Dynamics of changes in land use and land cover and perceived causes in Hakaluki Haor, Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 To gain quantifiable and explainable changes in LULC about Hakaluki Haor in Bangladesh, this study employed Landsat satellite data to interpret LULC from 2000 to 2019. Four change detection analyses (2000–2005, 2005–2010, 2010–2015, and 2015–2019) were done to detect the shifting process of different LULC classes. There was significant rapid growth in human settlement (91.61 km2) between 2000 and 2019, while the same period witnessed a reduction in water bodies (−28.69 km2), dense vegetation (−47.01 km2), cropland (−12.96 km2) and bare land (−2.95 km2). Furthermore, interviews with local communities were conducted to identify the contributing factors for the changes. The major factors responsible for the changes of LULC were population pressure (29.41%), climatic variation (20.91%), anthropogenic factors (16.34%), sedimentation (14.38%), lack of awareness of policies (11.76%) and inappropriate development interventions (7.19%). The findings and given recommendations will help policymakers to establish the appropriate land use plans for Hakaluki Haor region.

Title: An integrated approach of artificial intelligence and geoinformation techniques applied to forest fire risk modeling in Gachsaran, Iran
Abstract: 
 Forest fires are a multidimensional phenomenon that affects many parts of the world, including the Zagros region of Iran. They are often caused by various factors that can have natural-, anthropogenic-, or combined origins. Considering the significant environmental and socio-economic impacts of forest fires, it is essential to take necessary measures to identify the areas that are prone to forest fires and develop plans and policies for crisis management and risk mitigation accordingly. In this study, we applied an integrated geoinformation (remote sensing and GIScience) approach to analyze and map forest fire risk in Gachsaran, Iran, which is highly prone to forest fires. For the forest fire risk mapping (FFRM), we employed a GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis method in combination with fuzzy and analytical network process (ANP) methods to identify the forest areas with a high fire risk. To distinguish the vulnerable sites, we employed 13 independent variables encompassing geomorphological factors, land surface characteristics, climatological factors, and anthropological factors. To develop initial criteria maps, we determined the criteria weights using the ANP and used the fuzzy technique for standardization. Finally, the forest fire risk map was produced using the multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network. Our results were also validated against the historical forest fire data using the operating characteristics. Our results showed that 18.417% of the province is subject to a very high forest fire risk. These are areas that should be prioritized when designing precautionary and protective measures. Among the criteria examined in this study, the land surface temperature, soil moisture, and distance from historical forest fire sites received the highest scores in the ANP. The results of this study can be used to identify vulnerable areas, take appropriate planning measures to deal with forest fire risk, and make informed decisions regarding the allocation of facilities in high-risk areas.

Title: Does stringent environmental regulation reduce the overinvestment of high polluting firms? – Quasi-natural experiment evidence from China’s new “environmental protection law”
Abstract: 
 This article studies the impact of stringent environmental regulation on the investment behavior of firms. Using panel data for Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2018, we take the implementation of the new environmental protection law (NEPL) in 2015 as a quasi-natural experiment and identify its impact on reducing overinvestment of high polluting firms. Further, for the potential mechanism, we find that the reduction in agency costs and the decrease in the financing caused by NEPL can help to alleviate overinvestment problems. Considering the heterogeneity of firms, NEPL has a greater effect on state-owned firms and large-scale firms, which have serious overinvestment problems. Our empirical evidence strongly supports that NEPL can realize a win-win situation for the environment and the economy.

Title: A functional approach to decentralization in the electricity sector: learning from community choice aggregation in California
Abstract: 
 Decentralization of the electricity sector has mainly been studied in relation to its infrastructural aspect, particularly location and size of the generation units, and only recently more attention has been paid to the governance aspects. This article examines power sector (de)centralization operationalized along three functional dimensions: political, administrative and economic. We apply this framework to empirically assess the changes in California’s electricity market, which saw the emergence of institutional innovation in the form of community choice aggregation (CCA). Unpacking the Californian case illustrates how decision-making has moved from central state government and regulators to the municipal level in uneven ways and without decentralized generation keeping pace. We also explore the impacts this multidimensional and diversified decentralization has on the ultimate goals of energy transition: decarbonization and energy security. Our framework and empirical findings challenge the conventional view on decentralization and problematize the widespread assumptions of its positive influence on climate mitigation and grid stability.

Title: The impact of corruption on green innovation: the case of OECD and non-OECD countries
Abstract: 
 This study examines the effect of corruption on green innovation. We employed a panel corrected standard error (PCSE) and robust checking system generalized moment of method (S-GMM) model on a panel sample of 61 OECD and non-OECD countries between 2010 and 2018. Our results show that corruption is significant and positively related to green innovation in 61 countries. Similarly, we find that corruption has an increasing impact on green innovation in non-OECD countries. However, in OECD countries, corruption reduces the likelihood of attaining green innovation. Our results are robust to alternative estimation. Therefore, our results extend the green innovation literature and informed policymakers of the need to pay attention to the effect of corruption.

Title: A framework for reviewing laws and policies for climate resilience: the case of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
Abstract: 
 This article proposes a framework for reviewing to what extent laws and policies of a legal system support climate resilience. This article adopts the social-ecological system (SES) resilience theory and translates its core features into an operational framework which consists of four legal dimensions crucial for promoting climate resilience – adaptiveness of law, distributive justice, broad participation, and cross-scale interactions, and further identifies several indicators below each dimension. Then this article operationalizes the four legal dimensions via reviewing current Vietnamese climate adaptation laws and policies to assess to what extent they promote a climate-resilient Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD). While various barriers can be found in the current legal framework and policies which impede climate resilience, the latest National Climate Change Adaptation Plan demonstrates great improvement in facilitating climate resilience in a just, participatory and coordinated manner.

Title: Using participatory GIS and collaborative management approaches to enhance local actors’ participation in rangeland management: the case of Vulindlela, South Africa
Abstract: 
 Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PGIS) is an empowering tool for the enhancement of local communities’ participation in the planning and management of natural resources. The inadequate involvement of local stakeholders in rangeland planning and management has been of great concern. Discussions on the role of PGIS and collaborative management approaches in promoting local involvement in rangeland management has not been clearly understood due to the scarcity of literature. This paper assessed how local participation in rangeland management can be enhanced using a combined collaborative management framework and PGIS approach. The objective was achieved through a focus group discussion, local ecological knowledge mapping and key informant interviews. The combined PGIS and collaborative management approach enabled the empowerment of local actors through knowledge enhancement, encouraged the practice of rangeland governance and the transfer of responsibility to local actors. This study provides a conceptual contribution toward the improvement of local actors’ participation in rangeland management.

Title: Effects of various stages and modes of urbanization on building energy consumption intensity in China
Abstract: 
 The construction industry plays a crucial role in achieving carbon neutrality by reducing energy consumption. However, Building energy consumption (BEC) in China is increasing concomitantly with the rapid increase in urbanization. This study utilizes nighttime light data to construct a nighttime light index for urbanization, and empirically studies the impacts of urbanization on BEC intensity. The results show that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between BEC intensity and urbanization level on a nationwide scale, while an inverted-U relationship exists in Eastern developed regions, suggesting that an increasing BEC intensity is not an inevitable result of urbanization. Urbanization in the compact city mode inhibits BEC intensity to some extent, while urbanization in the urban sprawl mode often develops at the expense of increasing BEC intensity. The acceleration of the regional coordinated development and the adoption of the compact city mode are suggested to achieve energy-saving and emission-reduction targets.

 This study aims to investigate the impact of characteristics in blue–green spaces and integrations between characteristics on people’s preference for nature experience (perception of and interaction with nature). A total of 795 participants performed two sets of twelve choice tasks, each task presenting two photographs where eight characteristics were manipulated. Participants indicated which photograph was preferred for perception of and interaction with nature, respectively. Conjoint analysis was used to analyze the data. Water features were the most important characteristic, followed by bushes, upkeep, and trees. Integrating wildlife, peers, flowers, and paths with vegetation and water features can improve their attractiveness for nature experience. Upkeep should be prioritized in the single green space, but the integration between water features and bushes or trees in the blue–green space appeared to be most important. Through the design and integration of different characteristics, our research results contribute to the construction of nature experience environments in blue–green spaces.

Title: Investment in environmental protection, green innovation, and solid waste governance capacity: empirical evidence based on panel data from China
Abstract: 
 Improving the capacity of solid waste governance is of great significance to alleviate environmental pollution. The current study analyzes the internal mechanism of investment in environmental protection, green innovation, and solid waste governance capacity. From 2011 to 2018, panel data for 30 provincial units in China were collected. The spatial econometric model and threshold regression model were used to approach study objectives. The results found that green innovation has a significant role in promoting solid waste governance capacity and the spatial spillover effect is obvious. In particular, green invention patent has a core stimulating effect; investment in environmental protection positively moderates the relationship between green innovation and solid waste governance capacity, and the main direction is green utility model patent. However, the spatial spillover effect is not obvious. Moreover, the moderating effect has obvious spatial heterogeneity, especially in the Eastern region. Further analysis showed that there is a single threshold effect of green innovation on solid waste governance capacity. When investment in environmental protection reaches the threshold value of 12.40, the effect of green innovation on solid waste governance capacity is further enhanced. The results provide an important theoretical and practical reference value for China to improve the capacity of solid waste governance.

Title: Engaging recreational fishers in fisheries’ stewardship: a case of responsibilisation in natural resource management
Abstract: 
 Neoliberal thought has exerted significant influence over the crafting and delivery of environmental policy. This has manifested in enlisting non-state actors to advance environmental policy agendas in ways that were previously the responsibility of the state. The participation of these non-state actors is positioned as integral to solving intractable environmental challenges, such as the degradation of fish habitat. Drawing on responsibilisation as a technique of governance, this research adopts a case-based study of fisheries rehabilitation policy to explore how recreationists are being mobilized to address environmental problems. Deploying interpretive policy analysis to analyze key policy artifacts this research highlights how fishers as recreational users of aquatic areas are constituted as moral, political and authoritative actors who bear responsibility for ameliorating degraded fish habitats, despite the impacts of recreational fishing on these habitats being contested. We conclude by identifying the implications of this responsibilisation for the implementation of co-management and shared stewardship of fisheries resources.

Title: Forest resource endogenous cultural institutions in rural Cameroon: compliance determinants and policy implications
Abstract: 
 Scholarly and policy interest on endogenous cultural institutions (ECIs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is gaining traction, albeit with a lack of robust empirical evidence on compliance determinants. This article contributes in this regard, by drawing from a sample of 200 forest-dependent households in the Santchou Landscape of Cameroon, complemented by key informant interviews (N = 17) and focus group discussions (N = 11). Using the ordinary least square and the logit model, we (i) analyze forest use practices shaped by ECIs, (ii) assess forest-based ECIs compliance determinants, and (iii) estimate the effect of compliance determinants on forest-based ECIs. We find that while norms and customs shape the harvesting of wood-based and vegetal based NTFPs, they are less likely to shape the exploitation of seed based NTFPs. Second, demographic and economic factors override socio-political determinants of ECIs. Third, elites are less likely to affect forest-based ECI compliance. Policy should leverage culturally sensitive ECIs in regulating forest resource use.

Title: Evidence-based identification of integrated water quality systems
Abstract: 
 Identification of integrated models is still hindered by submodels’ uncertainty propagation. In this article, a novel identifiability and identification framework is applied to screen and establish reasonable hypotheses of an integrated instream (WASP) and catchment water quality (VENSIM) model. Using the framework, the models were linked, and critical parameters and processes identified. First, an ensemble of catchment nutrient loads was simulated with randomized parameter settings of the catchment processes (e.g. nutrient decay rates). A second Monte Carlo analysis was then staged with randomized loadings and parameter values mimicking insteam processes (e.g. algae growth). The most significant parameters and their processes were identified. This coupling of models for a two-step global sensitivity analysis is a novel approach to integrated catchment-scale water quality model identification. Catchment processes were, overall, more significant to the river’s water quality than the instream processes of this Prairie river system investigated (Qu’Appelle River).

Title: Impact of environmentally specific transformational leadership on organizational citizenship behavior for the environment: the role of moral reflectiveness and leader group prototypicality
Abstract: 
 Through applying social information processing theory and social identity theory, we propose that employees’ moral reflectiveness mediates the relationship between environmentally specific transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment. Further, we tested the moderating effect of leader group prototypicality on the relationship between environmentally specific transformational leadership and subsequent moral reflectiveness. We examined the hypothesized relationships using data collected in China from 194 employees. The findings demonstrated that environmentally specific transformational leadership positively predicts employee organizational citizenship behavior for the environment, and moral reflectiveness mediates this relationship. Further, leader group prototypicality strengthens the positive relationship between environmentally specific transformational leadership and subsequent moral reflectiveness. This study extends the understanding of environmentally specific transformational leadership in the context of manufacturing companies and has practical implications to help employees accelerate their organizational citizenship behavior for the environment.

Title: How boundary objects facilitate local climate adaptation networks: the cases of Amsterdam Rainproof and Water Sensitive Rotterdam
Abstract: 
 New networks of public and private parties co-produce urban climate adaptation measures, for which different viewpoints and interests have to be bridged. While previous research has focused on individuals and organizations as intermediaries, little attention has been paid to boundary objects: conceptual or material objects that help to bridge competing values. This article aims to understand how local climate adaptation networks co-develop boundary objects and how they benefit the development of adaptation measures by conducting a qualitative case study comparison of two front-running Dutch networks: Amsterdam Rainproof and Water Sensitive Rotterdam. The conceptualization of a “water-sensitive city” attracted multiple stakeholders (professionals from different disciplines, communities, businesses), while material objects, such as interactive 3 D-models, addressed information needs. The objects contributed to adaptation measures by convening stakeholders, translating viewpoints and initiating collaborations. The limited diversity in the networks suggests that, rather than enabling participatory decision-making, the networks are instrumentally used by water authorities.

Title: Evaluating behavioural changes for climate adaptation planning
Abstract: 
 Most climate adaptation plans expect stakeholders to change their behavior as part of building resilience. Given its long-term and complex nature, monitoring and evaluation is a key requisite for climate adaptation planning. So far, behavioral aspects have received only limited attention in the evaluation approaches for climate adaptation planning. This article proposes a theory-based evaluation approach based on the theory of planned behavior, for the evaluation of climate adaptation. A local climate adaptation programme for watershed development in rural India provides an illustrative case for this approach. For this case, the approach helped to uncover important factors that influence behavioral intentions, which were different for different groups in the farming community. Additionally, it helped to put behavioral change in a longer-term perspective. The illustrative case also suggests certain improvements for evaluations based on the theory of planned behavior.

Title: Digitalization and environment governance: does internet development reduce environmental pollution?
Abstract: 
 In the era of information economy, the integration of the internet and traditional industries is pushing the rapid transformation of the world economy in a more innovative, smarter, and greener direction. Based on the panel data for 30 Chinese provinces for the 2006–2017 period, the level of China’s internet development is comprehensively evaluated using the full array polygon graphic index method. The spatial Durbin model and threshold model are used to empirically analyze the impact of internet development on environmental quality. The results indicate that China’s environmental pollution has a significant spatial spillover effect. Internet development can not only significantly reduce local environmental pollution, but also environmental pollution in neighboring areas. The regression results of the mediation effect indicate that internet development mainly affects environmental pollution by improving technological innovation, industrial upgrading, human capital and financial development. Finally, policy suggestions are proposed from the aspects of strengthening collaborative environmental governance and increasing internet infrastructure investment.

Title: Outdoor recreation in Sweden during and after the COVID-19 pandemic – management and policy implications
Abstract: 
 This paper reports results from three studies concerning outdoor recreation participation and trends during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden. The studies, undertaken at national, regional and local levels, used surveys, interviews and PPGIS approaches, to build a solid knowledge base. Results are analyzed with particular attention given to management and policy implications based on the following observations: increased outdoor recreation participation, changes in lifestyle and routines, new visitor profiles and activity trends, spatial changes, visitor displacement, spatial redistribution, and indications of post-pandemic outdoor recreation behavior. The Swedish case is of special interest because of high accessibility to nature areas and few restrictions to recreate in nature due to the pandemic. Hence, this study could serve as a reference for other countries with more COVID-19 related restrictions and less accessible nature for recreation.

Title: Does the level of energy intensity matter in the effect of logistic performance on the environmental pollution of OBOR countries? Evidence from PSTR analysis
Abstract: 
 The present study examines the impact of energy intensity on the relationship between logistic performance and environmental pollution in 45 countries supporting the One Belt One Road (OBOR) project proposed to revitalize the historical Silk Road for the period between 2007 and 2018 by means of Panel Smooth Transition Regression (PSTR) analysis using the energy intensity as the threshold. The analysis results indicated that the relationship between logistics performance and environmental pollution is not linear, and energy intensity level has an important role in this relationship. The energy intensity threshold level was estimated as 3.228% and 4.432% in low and high energy intensity countries, respectively. When the energy intensity level is below the threshold in both low and high energy intensity countries, increase in logistics performance reduces environmental pollution. However, when it is above the threshold, a rise in logistics performance increases environmental pollution. In this context, reducing energy intensity is deemed helpful for the establishment of a favorable environment for logistic performance and environmental factors in the long term, leading to the reduction of environmental pollution.

Title: A conceptual framework and research method for understanding protected area governance: varying approaches and epistemic worldviews about human-nature relations
Abstract: 
 Research about the relations between protected areas and local communities ranges from nature-centred to human-centred approaches. Differing epistemic worldviews and fragmentation characterize this literature. We analyzed the rationale underpinning approaches to protected area governance. We classified them according to their perspective on human-nature relations. Using the components of stakeholder mapping, and adding the concepts of human-nature interaction, landscape values, and land-use preferences, we designed a conceptual framework and research method to improve understanding of the governance of specific protected areas. The method comprises 6 steps: (1) identify all stakeholders; (2) identify those stakeholders in power positions and determine their view of nature; (3) establish the landscape values and preferences of other stakeholder groups; (4) study the institutional context and power relations; (5) consider the agency and capacity of each group and their engagement with the protected area; and (6) determine what recommendations might be made to improve protected area governance.

Title: Does government environmental governance information disclosure improve residents’ subjective well-being? Evidence from China
Abstract: 
 To deal with environmental deterioration issues, various regulations and laws have been implemented by the Chinese government, including disclosing environmental governance information to the public to increase environmental transparency. This has not only affected the environmental governance performance but also residents’ subjective well-being. This research aims to investigate whether, how and when government environmental governance information disclosure affects residents’ subjective well-being in China. Data were gathered from 537 respondents and the analysis revealed that government environmental governance information disclosure exerts a significantly positive effect on residents’ subjective well-being, mainly by reducing risk perception and improving perceived controllability. Furthermore, the result found that the positive influence of government environmental governance information disclosure on residents’ subjective well-being depends on information credibility. Information credibility strengthens the effect of government environmental governance information disclosure. According to the findings, relevant recommendations to perfect government environmental governance information disclosure and improve residents’ subjective well-being were provided.

Title: Does improvement in education level reduce ecological footprint? A non-linear analysis considering population structure and income
Abstract: 
 The purpose of this paper is to investigate the non-linear effect of education level on ecological footprint considering changes in population structure and per capita income. The results show an inhibitory effect for the level of education on increases in ecological footprint. In high-income countries, this inhibitory effect is non-linear. The inhibitory effect of education level on ecological footprint increases with increases in education level. In addition, population structure also has an inhibitory effect on the increase in ecological footprint. In both high-income and low-income countries, the inhibitory effect of population structure on the ecological footprint decreases when the population structure exceeds the threshold. However, there is a promotional effect of GDP per capita on the increase in ecological footprint. And the threshold regression results show that this promotional effect is linear in all income groups. Finally, this study suggests that countries should develop environmental sustainability policies according to the threshold range in which their education level, population structure, and per capita income are located.

Title: Does producer services agglomeration affect environmental quality? New findings from a spatial spillover effect analysis
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the impact of producer service agglomeration on environmental quality (EQ) using the spatial Durbin model to analyze China’s provincial data from 2003 to 2017. The results reveal China’s EQ’s spatial positive correlation and local agglomeration characteristics. The specialized agglomeration (SA) of producer services can inhibit the EQ of local and neighboring regions; the diversified agglomeration (DA) of producer services does the opposite. Regional heterogeneity was found in eastern China, where SA inhibits the EQ of local and neighboring regions, and DA improves the EQ of local environment. In central China, SA can improve the EQ, but DA is not conducive to environmental improvement. In the western region, SA and DA have no significant impact on the EQ of the region nor on its neighboring regions. To achieve sustainable development, a series of policy recommendations has been proposed.

Title: Exploring links between ownership, governance and condition of stormwater quality improvement devices
Abstract: 
 Local government uses the development approval process to place responsibility for stormwater treatment with private landholders through the installation of stormwater quality improvement devices on their land. This source control strategy can complement publicly owned and managed centralized solutions to improve urban water quality outcomes. The maintenance of decentralized solutions for waterway health is compromised by the motivation of individuals whose professed value of cleaner waterways is not evident in their individual lot-based actions. This exploratory research makes four policy and governance observations: waterway policy should consider property scale and ownership type when allocating responsibility for stormwater treatment; devices need to be integrated within the landscape and be publicly visible; education and regulation are advised in order to better support devices placed in private ownership; and policy will be more likely to achieve cleaner waterways if it aligns the motivations of waterway scientists, maintenance actors and property owners.

Title: Market-oriented environmental policies, environmental innovation, and firms’ performance: a grounded theory study and framework
Abstract: 
 The use of market-oriented environmental policies to achieve a win-win situation for the economy and the environment has become the focus in many countries, and environmental innovation is an important way for firms to achieve dual benefits. However, the overall framework for market-based environmental policies, environmental innovation, and firms’ performance remains unclear. In order to reveal this relationship, this study selected 113 articles from the Zhejiang Daily as the research sample and adopted the grounded theory method to construct the theoretical framework. The results revealed that market-oriented environmental policies that were composed of incentive-based policy tools and constraint-based policy tools had a promotional effect on environmental innovation. Resource redundancy and government action, as internal and external contextual factors, moderated the relationship between market-oriented environmental policies and environmental innovation, and environmental innovation can promote improvements in a firm’s performance. This study provides a useful reference for how governments can better promote the construction of an ecological civilization and how firms can utilize policy opportunities to promote their green development, thus providing empirical evidence for future studies.

Title: Effects of informal institutions on stakeholder and public participation in public infrastructure megaprojects: a case study of Shanghai
Abstract: 
 Public participation in public infrastructure megaprojects (PIMs) is ineffective, and research on the issues of informal institutions’ influence on stakeholders is limited. The present study answered how informal institutions influence the practices of public participation while conflicts occur among stakeholders. Two PIMs in China were used as case studies to investigate the effects of informal institutions. The paper suggests that the adversarial relationships among stakeholders can be reconciled by recognizing that informal institutions encompass the social responsibility of PIMs (SR-PIMs) and culture. Results also showed that effective public participation entails the fulfillment of SR-PIMs by responsible behaviors of stakeholders and the positive effect of cultural tension, enabling participatory awareness of stakeholders. This study improves understanding of how to mobilize stakeholders in practice with responsible behaviors to reach a consensus.

Title: Ebbs and flows of metropolitan authorities: Supra-local spatial planning and impact on land-use patterns
Abstract: 
 In this study, I propose an analytical approach to describe the institutional trajectory of metropolitan authorities by using theory-based institutional models that, like ‘ebbs’ and ‘flows’, alternate over time. By employing a comparative, qualitative case-based approach, I empirically validated this analytical approach by reconstructing the divergent institutional trajectories of the metropolitan authorities in Barcelona, Spain and Milan, Italy over a period of 70 years. Furthermore, I examine to what extent the different institutional trajectories of both metropolitan authorities have had an indirect impact on land-use patterns by comparing longitudinal datasets (1950s-2010s) at different territorial scales. Results show that the different institutional models characterizing both metropolitan authorities cannot be clearly associated with a higher or lower proportion of urbanized areas. Rather, findings suggest that it is the inter-mediating role that metropolitan authorities routinely perform that can promote efficient land-use development and sustainable use of land as a scarce resource (equifinality).

Title: Impact of information processing on individuals’ intentions toward reducing PM2.5: evidence from Hefei City, China
Abstract: 
 Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is the main pollutant particle of smog pollution. Public PM2.5-reduction behavior is beneficial and important to the reduction of smog emissions. The article aims to investigate the influencing factors of the intention for individuals’ PM2.5-reduction. A conceptual model was proposed from the perspective of the protection behavior decision model and the heuristic-systematic information processing model. A random questionnaire survey was conducted in Hefei City, China. Results suggest that risk perception is a positive determinant of PM2.5-reduction intention, information insufficiency, and information-seeking intention. Information insufficiency positively determines systematic processing and information-seeking intention but fails to influence heuristic processing. Information-seeking intention is positively correlated with systematic processing and heuristic processing. Systematic processing positively determines PM2.5-reduction intention. However, the results suggest that heuristic processing has no significant effect on PM2.5-reduction intention. The findings of this study provide practical implications for enhancing individuals’ PM2.5-reduction intention.

Title: From activism to “not-quite-government”: the role of government and non-government actors in the expansion of the Australian protected area estate since 1990
Abstract: 
 What can we learn from the prodigious expansion of the non-government protected areas that now comprise 12% of terrestrial Australia? An increasingly professional, formal, and diverse non-government sector has developed since 1990, comprising private individuals, non-government organizations, and First Nations and having close ties to governments. We investigate the drivers, dynamics, and diversity of this sector through thematic analysis of 24 key informant interviews and associated gray literature. Changing environmental movements, science-led conservation, partial recognition of First Nations land rights, international agreements, and neoliberal reforms combined to formalize the sector during the 1990s. A bipartisan policy framework for incorporating non-government lands in the national conservation estate, diverse partnerships, transnational networks, and innovation in public and private funding helped grow the sector. The confluence of interests that has transformed the politics and practice of nature conservation in Australia is likely to inform those engaged with similar changes elsewhere.

Title: Toward sustainable development? Trend analysis of environmental policy in Korea from 1987 to 2040
Abstract: 
 It is crucial to observe how international policy initiatives are implemented in each country’s environmental policies to ensure global environmental conservation and sustainable development. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the trend of environmental policy in Korea over time. To this aim, we use semantic network analysis to explore the main keywords and to identify the characteristics of the key themes in each period based on the national environmental comprehensive plan. Our results show that the value of economic growth and technological development are regarded as priorities in Korean environmental policy because the economy and technology are closely related to the environment. Similarly, when it comes to the fundamental concept of environmental policy, the concept of “green growth” is applied in preference to the concept of “sustainability.” The results contribute to expanding the approach of existing policy research by providing the potential for semantic network analysis based on policy documents.

Title: Is green leadership associated with employees’ green behavior? Role of green human resource management
Abstract: 
 This article integrates conservation of resources theory to explore the impact of green leadership on the green behavior of employees. The data came from respondents from multiple industries in Pakistan. This study found that, as anticipated, green leadership has a positive impact on employee green behavior. Results also showed that green attitude significantly mediated the link between green leadership and employee green behavior in study 1; however, the role of emotional exhaustion was not significant. In study 2, green human resource management (GHRM) practice did not affect the direct link between green leadership and emotional exhaustion, nor did it affect the indirect link between green leadership and green behavior through emotional exhaustion. However, GHRM significantly moderated the mediation of green attitude. This article provides valuable insights for environmental researchers, managers, and policymakers to reform strategies to promote green behavior in the workplace.

Title: Knowing through fishing: exploring the connection between fishers’ ecological knowledge and fishing styles
Abstract: 
 That fishers’ ecological knowledge (FEK) can contribute to the sustainability and legitimacy of environmental planning and management is widely accepted. Nevertheless, despite this broad consensus about its importance, there is uncertainty about the ways in which FEK can be captured methodologically. Here, we present the results of a methodological inquiry aimed to connect FEK to the diversity of work practices within fisheries. Using a sample from a qualitative study of Swedish small-scale fishers, we test to what extent a new combination of concept and method – Fishing Style analysis and the Structure-Dynamic-Function framework – can produce insights into the partiality and diversity of FEK, as well as its embodied and tacit aspects. Results demonstrate how different work practices generate a variety of FEKs. We use this finding to discuss the implications of our work for future study of FEK, and how attention to FEK can inform environmental planning and management.

Title: Application of Q-methodology for identifying factors of acceptance of spatial planning instruments
Abstract: 
 Worldwide, urbanization leads to increased pressure on prime agricultural land with irreversible impacts on the provision of life-supporting services such as food and drinking water production or habitat for plants and animals. As a basis for designing new policy instruments to protect soil resources, we applied Q-methodology to assess factors that influence the acceptance or rejection of such instruments. Using an online survey and interviews, we identified different social perspectives and their respective argumentation patterns. The results show that effect on people, institutional embeddedness, trust in the acting institutions, and the overall understanding of the instrument are the most important factors for the acceptance of policy instruments fostering the sustainable use of soil resources. During the interviews, idealistic and fact-based arguments were more important than person-based arguments. Based on our results, communication strategies in the policy-making process can be improved and tailored to the identified characteristics of the social perspectives.

Title: The underappreciated value of brownfield sites: motivations and challenges associated with maintaining biodiversity
Abstract: 
 Protection and mitigation of biodiversity are essential within land-use planning; highlighted by the increased importance of nature during the global pandemic and the fight against climate change. Currently, the character of both the land and decision-makers can influence the weight biodiversity is ascribed within planning processes. Through analysis of semi-structured interviews, with various actors within the Northamptonshire planning system, this research explored the opportunities and challenges around promoting biodiversity across brownfield sites; the motivations for conservation by different planning actors; and what this means for the future of urban habitats on previously developed land. This research found that brownfield sites continue to be undervalued for their biodiversity potential, predominantly due to the downplaying of ecological expertise in decision-making. With England’s proposed planning reforms, this paper argues that tensions between brownfield redevelopment and biodiversity conservation stand to be further exacerbated as the government intends to “scythe through red tape” (Johnson 2020b).

Title: How does environmental regulation affect economic growth? Evidence from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration in China
Abstract: 
 The governments of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration have introduced a series of environmental policies to ameliorate pollution problems, but there are concerns that such a move can negatively impact the economy. In this article, panel data for 13 prefecture-level cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2003 to 2018 are used to investigate the influencing mechanism of environmental regulation on economic growth. The empirical results indicate an inverted “U”-shaped relationship between economic growth and environmental regulation. In a sense, the non-linear relationship implies that the Porter hypothesis and the compliance cost hypothesis apply to different levels of environmental stringency, respectively, which results in an empirical supplement to the existing theoretical framework. Furthermore, energy intensity and industrial structure are valid transmission paths for the economic effect of environmental regulation, despite their opposite directions. Overall, a win–win situation of economic prosperity and ecological improvement can be achieved through the implementation of appropriate environmental regulation.

Title: Photovoltaic technological innovation system (PV TIS) in Iran: identifying barriers, incentives, dynamics and developing policies
Abstract: 
 Transition to sustainable energies is a fast-growing field of research. Modeling complex systems can expand our possibilities in this field through quantitative analysis. Photovoltaic technology is one the best potential energy sources in Iran but until now, this technology has not been diffused appropriately. According to the review of research on PV TIS, it was found that in developing countries such as Iran, quantitative analyses based on simulation by system dynamics have not been performed and also, positive and negative effective factors on this system (incentives and barriers), not comprehensively identified. Therefore, in this study, at first, positive and negative effective factors in the PV TIS of Iran were identified and in the next stage, innovation engines were extracted. In order to develop improvement policies, Iran’s PV TIS has been modeled using a system dynamics approach, and quantitative analyzes related to its performance have been presented using Vensim Ple software. Finally, in this study, some policies have been developed to promote PV TIS performance.

Title: Unveiling corporate social responsibility awareness and implementation: a study of the Chinese construction firms
Abstract: 
 This study aims to examine construction firms’ awareness and implementation of various aspects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices and ascertain whether the level of CSR awareness and implementation would vary across firms with different ownership and control. An online questionnaire survey was undertaken across extra-grade construction firms in China. The results show that respondents’ CSR priorities are built around the aspects of quality, safety, and environment. They tend to adopt a more integrated approach to managing the interests of diverse stakeholders. It is notable that there are positive correlations between the firms’ CSR awareness and implementation and that listed firms tend to exhibit a higher level of CSR awareness and implementation than their counterparts. In conclusion, the findings inform policymakers and practitioners of the status quo of CSR, thus enabling them to configure targeted strategies to improve the overall CSR awareness and implementation in China’s construction industry.

Title: Linking science and practice in participatory future-oriented assessment and planning of human heat stress vulnerability in Bonn, Germany
Abstract: 
 The juxtaposition of climate change and development changes is vital for understanding the future impacts of heat stress in urban areas. However, an approach that considers the relationship between climatic factors and socio-economic vulnerability in a forward-looking and stakeholder-involved manner is challenging. This article demonstrates the application of a future-oriented vulnerability scenarios approach to address human heat stress in Bonn, Germany, in 2035. The study highlights the interplays between climate trajectories and heat exposure associated with urban development scenario corridors. Moreover, this method allows for changing combinations of intersections and conditionalities of projected individual socio-economic vulnerability indicators in response to social and climate governance. However, this study found that a conventional structure within city departments might limit this integrative approach in practice. Thus, the theoretical background and the concept of alternative futures and uncertainties should be the focus of communication with practitioners to maximize the utilization of the results.

Title: What influences where volunteers practice environmental stewardship? The role of scale(s) in sorting stewards
Abstract: 
 Environmental stewardship (ES) typically occurs at nonprofit organizations through stewardship programs. Organizations may have limited capacity to understand what motivates volunteers, which limits recruitment and sustainment. Using a community geography approach, we propose that stewards self-sort and mobilize based on how an organization’s scale of operation matches the scale of stewards’ motivations. We test this in a comparative research design wherein volunteers at two disparate partner organizations were surveyed (n = 341). After collapsing those motivations via exploratory factor analysis, a nominal logistic regression model predicted each volunteer’s organizational affiliation as a function of their motivations. The results reinforce a “First Law of Environmental Stewardship”, which states that all stewards share certain overarching motivations; but motivations are more alike within organizations than between organizations. The close correspondence between motivational and organizational scales suggests that nonprofits seeking to broaden their volunteer pools can experiment with multiscalar programming, combining immediate, place-based actions alongside movement-building.

Title: The role of urban planning in climate adaptation: an empirical analysis of UHI in European cities
Abstract: 
 This paper empirically analyses the relationship between urban form and Urban Heat Island (UHI) in a dataset of 523 European cities that matches remotely sensed land-use and surface temperature data. A UHI anomaly is defined as an uninterrupted streak of days where the temperature differential measured at 12.00 AM between the city core and its surroundings is higher than a given threshold. From this definition, three UHI indicators are obtained: mean intensity, mean duration of the event and occurrence rate. We study the influence of urban morphology on the UHI indictors with a Heckman model. A sample selection bias is detected for mean intensity and mean duration. The estimation results also show that some urban morphological features have a mitigating effect, while some others play a role at the adaptation level.

Title: Green consumption intention and behavior of tourists in urban and rural destinations
Abstract: 
 The current explosive growth of global consumption has caused many environmental problems, so guiding and regulating the public’s green consumption intention and behavior is an important issue. By constructing the tourist green consumption model of urban and rural tourism destinations (TAM-TPB), this paper uses the PLS-SEM method to expound the realization path and mechanism of tourists’ green consumption intention in urban and rural destinations. The TAM-TPB model provides better explanatory and predictive power for urban destinations than for rural destinations. In addition, the perceived usefulness plays a significant mediating effect, especially in urban destinations, and the green consumption attitude will not mediate or directly affect consumption intention. Finally, there is a certain gap in tourists’ green consumption intention between urban and rural destinations, but it is limited to the paths from perceived ease of use to consumption attitude and from subjective norm to consumption intention.HighlightsThe paper studies the realization path and mechanism of tourists’ green consumption intention in urban and rural tourism destinations.The paper first applies TAM to tourism green consumption field, constructing the model of TAM-TPB by PLS-SEM.The TAM-TPB model provides better explanatory and predictive power for urban destinations than for rural destinations.The green consumption attitude does not mediate or directly impact consumption intention.The findings will contribute to enrich the theoretical system of tourism green consumption research and provide practical references for the guidance of public green consumption behavior and the transformation of green consumption.

Title: Determinants of consumers’ intention to participate in automobile recalls for environmental defects: using an extended theory of planned behavior
Abstract: 
 Consumers’ participation in automobile recalls for environmental defects (ARED) can enhance the recall’s completion rate, reduce vehicle exhaust emissions, and improve air quality. This study investigates consumers’ intention to participate in ARED on the basis of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and extends it by adding the constructs of perceived environmental benefits, personal benefits, and personal costs. A total of 628 respondents participated in the online questionnaire survey, and a structural equation model was adopted to analyze the collected data. Results show that perceived behavioral control and positive attitude toward participating in ARED positively affect consumers’ participation intention. Attitude is mainly explained by perceived environmental benefits, whereas subjective norm is mainly explained by perceived environmental and personal benefits. On the basis of these results, we provide some implications to motivate consumers to participate in ARED.

Title: Impact of stakeholders’ pressure on green management practices of manufacturing organizations under the mediation of organizational motives
Abstract: 
 Due to growing consciousness and pressure from concerned stakeholders, organizations have started to prioritize green management practices (GMP); however, little is known about the critical role of organizational motives (OM) for achieving GMP. Following the stakeholder theory, this study intends to examine the relationship between stakeholders’ pressure (STP), organizational motives (OM), and GMP in an encompassing model. Three hundred and eight responses were collected from the Pakistani manufacturing industry, and hypotheses were confirmed employing structural equation modeling (SEM). Empirical results indicate that primary and secondary stakeholders’ pressure has a substantial effect on OM. Further, each motive, such as instrumental, relational, and moral, substantially impacts GMP. Besides, OM has been found to partially mediate the relationship. Importance-performance analysis specified that the importance and performance values of STP are higher than OM for GMP. The conclusion emphasizes the essential role that STP can play in realizing GMP in manufacturing industries through OM. These novel findings suggest worthy insights for managerial staff and policymakers on enhancing GMP adoption through OM in emerging economies.

Title: Barriers to sustainable practices in the Indonesian construction industry
Abstract: 
 The adoption of sustainable practices is essential to mitigating negative impacts associated with the global construction industry. This study investigates barriers inhibiting the transition to sustainable practices in the Indonesian construction industry. Using a questionnaire as a means of data collection, relevant data were analyzed using reliability and exploratory factor analysis. Based on the analysis, the findings suggest that there were eight underlying factors responsible for the poor awareness of sustainability and the current low level of sustainable construction practices in the Indonesian construction industry. The three most significant barriers toward sustainable practices in Indonesia are lack of knowledge and standards, poor design practices, and financial constraints. The sustainable standards practice in Indonesia is still in its infancy and immature compared to developed countries. The findings of this study are expected to provide guidance and knowledge to construction players related to barriers in sustainability practices within the Indonesian construction industry.

Title: Investigating household waste separation behavior: the salience of an integrated norm activation model and the theory of planned behavior
Abstract: 
 The recent perennial spate of flooding in Ghana has over the years caused hemorrhagic loss to lives and properties. In view of the inundation phenomenon, issues of waste management have been shot into prominence. The key among dominant suggestions to counteracting the situation has essentially converged around waste separation, which is an under researched area in Ghana. Against this background, the research seeks to investigate household waste separation behavior using an integrated theory of planned behavior and the norm activation model as the theoretical framework. Data were drawn using the questionnaire survey method and further analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. The empirical results of data analysis drawn from 707 households confirmed a significant relationship between awareness of consequences and attitude, and subjective and personal norms. Subjective norm is significantly related to attitude and perceived behavior control. Moreover, attitude has a positive relationship with behavioral intention, whereas the relationship between perceived behavior control and behavioral intention is not significant. Finally, personal norm has a significant relationship with behavioral intention. The results also confirmed that the integrated model is useful and appropriate for predicting behavior. From the results, implications for pursuing and forging household waste separation behavior and suggestions for future research are outlined.

Title: Economic growth targets and green total factor productivity: evidence from China
Abstract: 
 This study explores the impact of economic growth targets on green total factor productivity (GTFP) based on a panel Tobit model and two manual datasets of 30 Chinese provinces from 2002 to 2019. We find that economic growth targets significantly inhibit GTFP, which is more pronounced in provinces that have high incentives when setting targets, use hard constraints when announcing targets, and fulfill their targets. In addition, we find that economic growth targets inhibit GTFP by undermining economic efficiency and aggravating environmental pollution. Moreover, the command-controlled environmental regulations weaken the inhibitory effect on GTFP, while market-motivated environmental regulations aggravate this inhibitory effect. Our findings confirm that the promotion assessment system based on economic performance leads to the irrationality of local governments in establishing economic growth targets, and the local governments pursue economic growth at the cost of development quality and sustainability.

Title: Exploring local land use conflicts through successive planning decisions: a dynamic approach and theory-driven typology of potentially conflicting planning decisions
Abstract: 
 With immensely growing pressure on land and its scarcity, conflicting societal expectations concerning land use increasingly result in land use conflicts (LUCs). In this paper, we explore local LUCs, which we define as the complex situations, where fragmented planning policies encounter place-based societal conceptions and perceptions of site-specific developmental priorities. The paper adopts a dynamic approach and introduces a theory-driven typology of potentially conflicting planning decisions. The typology is employed as an analytic framework to reveal the open-ended successive planning decisions that lead to complex local LUCs. Two case studies from Central Europe are explored to narrate the evolutionary complexity of LUCs. Our results show that local LUCs emerged as the past planning decisions lined-up into a sequence creating lock-in situations, where different planning policies can be hardly reconciled. Finally, we discuss applicability, transferability and limits of the proposed typology as an analytic framework advancing management of planning conflicts.

Title: Impacts of jellyfish presence on tourists’ holiday destination choices and their willingness to pay for mitigation measures
Abstract: 
 Recurrent jellyfish blooms in tourist areas have negative effects on coastal and national economies. We investigate how jellyfish presence affects holiday destination choice and how the adoption of mitigation measures can reduce impacts through analyzing tourists’ preferences. A Discrete Choice Experiment approach was adopted to assess tourists’ willingness to pay for different measures. Results indicate that in scenarios of increased jellyfish numbers, 24–40% of tourists might not choose to return to a destination affected by jellyfish. Results also indicate that the adoption of measures such as jellyfish information provision, warning flags, health service presence or the deployment of jellyfish exclusion nets could reduce the proportion of non-returning tourists by 66–83%. Regarding preferences, tourists are willing to pay higher amounts for measures that provide the highest protection. We conclude that the implementation of preventive management plans should be considered by coastal administrations to promote a sense of safety among tourists and residents alike.

Title: Application of CRISP-DM methodology for managing human-wildlife conflicts: an empirical case study in India
Abstract: 
 Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is a major concern for protected area management. Managing HWC around protected areas requires structured and replicable processes to reduce subjectivity and promote adherence to good governance principles. The Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) is a widely-used process model for structured decision-making. This study demonstrates the novel application of CRISP-DM to HWC related decision-making. We apply CRISP-DM and conduct hotspot and temporal (monthly) analysis of HWC data from Ramnagar Forest Division, India. Based on the patterns of crop loss, livestock loss, and human loss, we propose conflict-type and species-specific preventive strategies. A qualitative assessment of the initial outcomes of the ongoing implementation finds the preventive strategies to be effective. We suggest a participatory approach, localization of strategy, and need for data management as opportunities for improvement.

Title: Strategic environmental assessment for low-carbon development: developing an analysis framework
Abstract: 
 Understanding of strategic environmental assessment’s (SEA) influence on low-carbon development (LCD) is critical as societies strive to decarbonize without jeopardizing economic growth. As best practice perceptions are still evolving, plausible conceptual and analytical frameworks are needed. This paper offers a conceptual clarification and proposes a framework for analyzing environmental reports. We employed a multi-phased, mixed-methods approach. The first phase involved an integrative literature review that combined theoretical insights from LCD and transition management with SEA’s procedural aspects. The extracted data was used to develop an initial framework in the second phase. The third phase utilized an international case study and expert consultations to illustrate, validate and refine the framework. The resulting framework comprises five review areas to be verified by a series of review questions reflecting good practice. It could assist SEA researchers, practitioners, responsible authorities, policymakers and environmental agencies better understand, prioritize and address the issue of LCD.

Title: Creating an evidence base for managing structural change in the Rhineland Mining Area—evaluating open space applying a comprehensive set of indicators
Abstract: 
 Post-mining landscapes undergo thorough structural changes. Hereby, striking transitions take place concerning open spaces in particular. For the Rhineland Mining Area, the project DAZWISCHEN, with five thematic fields of action, in its first phase intends to capture the status quo of the region. Spatial talents and spatial barriers are identified as a result. Considering open space, we present a multi-method approach integrating basic land use data, ecosystem services, and combined indices. We disclose a bipartition of the region with two relatively homogenous areas regarding the assessment of the landscape or open spaces and their functionality. However, we also detect highly functional patches in ‘weaker’ surroundings, making their preservation and protection particularly important. Our results hail from a wide array of analyses using the available data as effectively as possible. Thus, we can provide information for politicians, practitioners, and scientists doing research in similar settings.

Title: Planning for green infrastructure along the Gulf Coast: an evaluation of comprehensive plans and planning practices in the Mississippi-Alabama coastal region
Abstract: 
 Rapid expansion and development of urban areas in coastal communities degrades ecosystems and increases vulnerability to natural disasters and the effects of climate change. To minimize these negative impacts, some municipalities have adopted “green infrastructure” planning to protect their cities through greenways, wetlands, and open spaces. This research identifies communities that have engaged in green infrastructure planning in the Mississippi-Alabama coastal region and the roles that plans, planning activities and capacity, and plan implementation play in the process, with the goal of creating more resilient cities. Comprehensive plans are analyzed to assess whether, and the degree to which, they incorporate green infrastructure planning, and a survey and interviews with planners were conducted to understand their planning capacity and experiences. Findings suggest that while green infrastructure planning is integrated into Mississippi-Alabama coastal cities’ comprehensive plans and practices, there are several barriers related to leadership, plan oversight and implementation, collaboration, and resources.

Title: Antecedents of public participation intention in waste incineration power projects: an empirical study from China
Abstract: 
 To fully investigate the antecedents of public participation intention, a holistic framework was developed by integrating theory of planned behavior (TPB) and norm activation model (NAM), coupling with corporate social responsibility (CSR), community organizational support (COS), and channel availability (CA). Data was collected from questionnaire surveys conducted with nearby residents of three waste incineration power (WIP) projects in China, and was analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that all variables of TPB and NAM, except perceived behavioral control, were validated to positively affect participation intention. Moreover, CSR was found to have a positive effect on participation intention, while CA played a negative role. The positive moderating effect of COS on the relationship between CSR and participation intention was also supported. By comprehending the factors motivating participation in WIP projects, the findings contribute to developing participation intervention policies and addressing Not-In-My-Back-Yard issues of the projects referring to environmental hazard.

Title: Hotels’ experience of green environment management and innovation performance: stewardship of multiple green drivers
Abstract: 
 Drawing on underpinning theories, this study conceptually develops a model helping organizations to transform green strategic mechanisms into a higher hotel’s green process innovation performance (GPIP). Using a multi-source survey, the study collected data from 401 respondents in hotels (e.g. 213 CEOs and 188 managing directors/general managers, 198 front-desk managers and 203 production managers). PLS-SEM was used to run regression analysis. The results support that green creativity (GC) is the top among five mediating green drivers, e.g. green organizational identity (GOI), green human capital (GHC), green organizational capital (GOC), and green relational capital (GRC) that strongly supports green strategic intent (GSI) to translate environment strategies into hotel GPIP. Accordingly, GOC highly supports GHC toward the hotel’s GPIP compared to GRC. Green knowledge sharing (GKS) negatively moderates the link between GC and the hotel GPIP, but fails to moderate GOI and the hotel GPIP.

Title: Nature Based Solutions on the river environment: an example of cross-disciplinary sustainable management, with local community active participation and visual art as science transfer tool
Abstract: 
 An attempt to link phytomanagement, art and social involvement is presented. The “Remediation” Project started up from the search of sustainable solutions for the management of a riparian area in the city of Rome. With the participation of citizens, researchers carried out a preliminary survey on the presence of metals within the target ecosystem and a demonstrative experiment on phytoremediation. Several social and cultural events have been organized in connection with the scientific part of the project: a public debate, an art exposition, a performance and two workshops at the experimental field. The Project demonstrated that through art it is possible to raise curiosity on scientific issues; the participated survey on metal pollution highlighted the strict interconnection among environmental matrices (soil/water/bioma) and thus the risk of contamination transfer; the demonstrative experiment, even if very basic in order to be easily approached by citizens, showed the great potential of Nature Based Solutions.

Title: Economic indices of by-products utilization and forage production in semi-arid rangelands
Abstract: 
 One of the most basic criteria in documenting rangeland use prospects is the recognition of byproducts and their economic appraisal. The current study was conducted to assess the economic indices of exploiting byproduct production in Shahindej, Northwest Iran. For this purpose, 24 by-product-generating species were selected in 114 locations that belong to 49 rangeland units. The total expected value of 24 by-product generating species yield and forage production was calculated at 44.22 USD ha−1. The results of this study showed that the sustainability of natural resources depends on the effective participation and empowerment of local communities. Furthermore, by-product exploitation contributes significantly to the local economy and employment while also reducing grazing intensity. Overall, the findings of this study show that by-product earnings should be considered in range management schemes and comprehensive natural-area management.

Title: Visual appraisal of designed landscapes in high-rise residential areas rendered by residents living at different heights
Abstract: 
 As residential buildings become higher and higher, people begin to pay more attention to the views they can see through windows. Currently, the studies on landscape are mostly conducted at the height of human eye level, and little has been done on visual impact assessment of landscapes from other height perspectives. This study divided the high-rise residential buildings into different height partitions and set landscape style, green area, number of colors, water features, and vertical structure as landscape features. Then the residents living in different height partitions were surveyed by photo stimulation experiments and the data were collected and analyzed. The results show that the five features mentioned above are the main influencing factors for the respondents’ visual impact assessment; residents living in different height partitions rendered different visual impact assessments of the landscapes in residential areas; different landscape features exert certain influence upon the residents living.

Title: Environmental infrastructure and urban residents’ well-being: a system dynamics approach
Abstract: 
 The continuous expansion of environmental infrastructure systems plays a crucial role in urban sustainable development. While bringing significant environmental benefits, it also has negative impacts on the improvement of residents’ well-being (such as the ‘not in my backyard’ phenomenon). In this study, the system dynamics (SD) methodology is used to dissect the complex interactions between environmental infrastructure and urban residents’ well-being. Using Vensim modeling software and Chinese data from 2014–2019, this study designs basic and extended scenarios to discover urban environmental infrastructure development measures that effectively contribute to residents’ well-being. The simulation results reveal that, in the basic scenarios, the pattern focusing on environmental protection and resource-saving development is effective, while the collaborative development may have more long-term value. In comparison, in the extended scenarios, developing energy supply and pollution treatment facilities can effectively improve urban residents’ subjective well-being. But there are more factors to consider when planning urban green infrastructure.

Title: Traffic noise and property values: an instrumental variable strategy for hedonic valuation
Abstract: 
 Noise pollution is a consequence of socioeconomic development processes and urbanization. Noise action plans, urban planning, and traffic management are costly, and their undertaking raises the issue of the value of noise reduction to households. We use hedonic pricing to estimate the value of traffic noise for urban residents in Quito, Ecuador. Results were obtained using instrumental variables in order to control the possible omitted variables due to any spatial effect. Considering a large dataset of property attributes and noise exposure, properties inside the mixed land use were compared to those right behind them in a 20-meter buffer, which was characterized by similar structural attributes but different noise exposure levels.

Title: Institutional pressures and firms’ environmental management behavior: the moderating role of slack resources
Abstract: 
 Firms’ environmental management behavior is divided into two dimensions: substantive and symbolic. The effects of coercive pressure, mimetic pressure, and normative pressure on these two dimensions are explored based on institutional theory. The moderating role of slack resources in the above relationships is examined using a resource-based view. Data from 193 Chinese listed companies in the heavy-polluting industries from 2014 to 2018 are used to test the hypotheses. The results show the strongest facilitator of substantive environmental management behavior is coercive pressure, while the strongest promoter of symbolic environmental management behavior is mimetic pressure. Slack resources positively moderate institutional pressures and firms’ environmental management behavior relationships partially. The conclusions are significant to both environmental practitioners and managers.

Title: The influence of green human resource management practices and employee green behavior on business performance in sustainability-focused organizations
Abstract: 
 Drawing on the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity, Corporate Environmentalism, and Value Belief Norm theories, this study proposes a framework that focuses on the consequences of green human resource management practices. We collected data from employees (n = 184) in sustainability-focused organizations in the United Arab Emirates. The results suggest that employee green behavior significantly shapes the relationships between environmental orientation, green competence building, green motivation, and organizational business performance. The study results allow us to understand better employee green behaviors and their impact on improving organizational business performance in an emerging nation context. The novelty of this research lies in the presentation of an integrated framework to solve the contemporary challenge facing businesses in promoting the green behaviors of employees.

Title: Can grassland rental achieve a win-win situation between livestock production and grassland ecological conservation? Evidence from pastoral areas in Northern China
Abstract: 
 Achieving coordination between grassland ecological conservation and livestock production is a global concern. Based on the survey data for 818 herders in China, we empirically analyzed grassland rental’s (GR) impact on herders’ technical efficiency (TE) and overgrazing under a unified framework. Results indicate that GR offers concurrent benefits of improving TE and reducing overgrazing; it helps to achieve a win-win situation between livestock production and grassland conservation. However, GR does little to promote TE by reducing overgrazing. Further analysis reveals that GR’s promotion effect on TE and the inhibition effect on overgrazing are heterogeneous among different income groups and grassland types. GR plays a stronger role in improving TE and reducing overgrazing by low-income herders, which is conducive in narrowing the animal husbandry development gap between rich and poor. The key policy implication is that GR should be encouraged under the condition of strengthening supervision.

Title: When digital technology innovation enhances Indigenous Peoples’ e-participation in climate change resilience-building: perspectives under the “e-GIS Smart, Inclusive, and, Climate-resilient Indigenous Peoples Landscape and Community Clearing-House Mechanism Solution”
Abstract: 
 Web-based multilingual tools to facilitate communication between Local and Indigenous Communities is an environmental technology approach emerging under the United Nations Biodiversity Global Agenda. To better address present climate resilience-building challenges in the current smart world, this contribution presents innovative avenues leading to the development of the « e-GIS Smart, Inclusive, and, Climate-resilient Indigenous Peoples Landscape and Community Clearing-House Mechanism Solution » which is meant to be used in the mobile-friendly website environment and the e-app environment. This technology policy paper shows that digital GIS, remote sensing products of observation satellites, and smartphone applications products derived from telecommunication satellites can help facilitate Indigenous Peoples’ contribution to climate resilience-building within their territories in terms of biodiversity and within their communities in terms of poverty eradication throughout the implementation of the United Nations Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Global Agenda. The methodology used consists, therefore, of a plural technology interface that promises, among many other benefits, to facilitate Indigenous Peoples’ participation in decision-making processes. This research reminds us of the importance of state responsibility in these matters. It shows the importance of Indigenous Peoples’ participation in the implementation of global instances’ agendas through national reporting. It highlights the key role of Indigenous information decolonization and governance as principles of Indigenous Peoples’ sovereignty over Indigenous information. The results of this research are illustrated with case studies, when possible, to show the potential of the Solution to achieve its goals in climate resilience-building in Indigenous Peoples Landscapes and Communities with Indigenous Peoples and the financial support of state governments and inter-governmental institutions. In Canada, the use of the Solution to move forward in the Indigenous Peoples Affairs’ agenda, has the potential, among others, to enhance the expected outcome of the Canadian First Nations Data Governance Strategy (FNDGS) which is adopted as a response to an evolving smart planet to ensure no First Nation is left behind.

Title: The evolution of the pre- and post-construction public opinions toward offshore wind energy on the Belgian coast
Abstract: 
 Offshore wind farms are increasingly part of the modern coastal landscape and are often the reason for public opposition. To inform policymakers and to facilitate public participation strategies, the present study examines public opinion concerning offshore wind energy projects on the Belgian coast, its evolution over time and significant determinants. Public opinion is compared for three moments in time. A significant increase in acceptance was found between 2002 (planning phase prior to construction) and 2009 (turbines operational and more under construction). Acceptance remained at a high level from 2009 to 2019 with expansion still ongoing. Familiarization led to a reduction in negative attitudes. In the current population (2019), the visibility of the turbines has no influence on attitudes. Support for wind energy can be ensured when the facilities are perceived as part of the coast’s identity and when perceived impacts can be kept low.

Title: The politics of conservation: examining the human-wildlife conflict in Bollywood ecocinema Sherni (2021)
Abstract: 
 The present article seeks to situate the Bollywood film, Sherni (2021), directed by Amit Masurkar, within the paradigm of ecocinema. In doing so, the article strives to scrutinize the film’s presentation of multi-level challenges within the system of conservation. The article thus, first explores how the film depicts the challenges arising from the conflict between development and conservation; second, how it investigates the challenges caused by the entanglement of the conservation system and corruption; and third, how the film attempts to explore the (im)possibility of attaining “Environmental justice,” keeping in view the interests of wildlife and of the indigenous people.

Title: The moderating effect of corporate social responsibility between green human resource management and organizations’ environmental performance
Abstract: 
 Considering the fact that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is widely recognized for its positive impact on environmental performance, little research exists on its effect on the relationship between Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) and an Organization’s Environmental Performance (OEP). This study investigates how CSR affects GHRM and the OEP, along with its moderating effect. Data was collected from the Malaysian manufacturing industry and subsequently analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that GHRM and CSR positively and significantly affect the OEP. The study also revealed that CSR strengthens the existing relationship between GHRM and the OEP. Therefore, this study contributes to the existing literature by providing new scholarly evidence on the moderating effect of CSR on the GHRM-OEP nexus. The findings provide policymakers and the management of the manufacturing industry in Malaysia with fresh insights into the formulation of effective policies to promote CSR and GHRM practices within organizations.

Title: Modeling heterogeneity in preferences for organic rice in China: evidence from a choice experiment
Abstract: 
 Agricultural production is considered to be one of the main threats to biodiversity. Market-based wildlife-friendly farming (WFF) systems are thought to have great potential to reshape the link between biodiversity and agriculture. In this paper, we explore the potential for WFF rice production in China using choice experiment surveys of consumers and producers. Our results show that there is a significant difference in preferences between urban consumers and rural rice producers. Rice producers pay more attention to the practical concerns around quality (taste), location (ease of working) and prices, while urban consumers pay attention to whether the rice is healthy and free of contamination (e.g. organic or grown with fish). In addition, producers’ price expectations for WFF rice production are not uniform due to different challenges with respect to technology, resource allocation and trust. Preference heterogeniety also exists among urban consumers, some of whom are skeptical of ‘organic labeling’, while others place high levels of trust in rice grown with “biological” indicators such as fish or frogs. Although WFF production systems may not be able to accommodate the full heterogeneity among growers and consumers it can strengthen the incentives to farm more sustainably for the benefit of the economy and the environment if appropriately designed. We suggest the most promising approach is to jointly produce organic rice with fish or another trusted biological indicator to overcome trust issues with existing organic labeling.

Title: Spatial imaginaries in flood risk management: insights from a managed retreat initiative in upper Bavaria
Abstract: 
 Recent decades have witnessed a shift to spatial perspectives in flood risk management. It is recognized that flood protection has substantial implications for land-use plans and requires attention to the functional geographies of river basins, catchments and floodplains. It is against this background that managed retreat is increasingly identified as a viable cost-effective response to flood risk. Yet managed retreat is also a political act, involving the displacement of coastal and riverine communities. In this paper, we examine the spatial imaginaries underlying managed retreat and flood risk management through an in-depth case study of a displaced village on the Danube in Upper Bavaria, Germany. The paper provides insights into the challenges posed by diverging functional, administrative and political spatial imaginaries and how this divergence contributes to perceptions of injustice. We suggest that a shift to a more relational form of communicative planning may help to address this dilemma.

Title: The unlikely Mexican carbon tax—a question of economic-environmental synergies?
Abstract: 
 In 2013, Mexico was the first developing country to adopt a carbon tax, confounding expectations that adoption of such taxes is mostly driven by international commitments and hindered by economic concerns: Mexico was not subject to international climate commitments and constituted an economy dependent on oil and exports to its NAFTA trading partners, which did not price carbon. To address this puzzle, we examine the relationship between environmental and economic factors in the adoption of the tax and whether they originate from the international or national level. We find that the idea of carbon pricing was introduced from abroad, allowing entrepreneurs to frame the carbon tax as economically and environmentally beneficial and build a coalition spanning economic and environmental actors. The 2012 elections and resulting fiscal reform moved the tax onto the legislative agenda and secured its passage.

Title: Adaptation outcomes in climate-vulnerable locations: understanding how short-term climate actions exacerbated existing gender inequities in coastal Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 Adverse climate impacts present a significant challenge for the majority of the world’s population. It is especially true for smallholder farmers in coastal Bangladesh, where some adaptation initiatives appeared to be short-sighted and reproduced further inequity, poverty, and food insecurity. Based on empirical insights, this paper shows how short-sighted climate responses can adversely affect gender equity, illustrated through three adaptation strategies. First, agricultural institutions have traditionally and historically linked with gender roles. Outmigration from the region is gendered as males leave first. This forces increased household and farm responsibilities onto female household members and increased vulnerability. This gendered vulnerability becomes compounded by the ways critical weather information flows at the local level. Taking this gendered lens, this paper illustrates how shrimp farming has caused long-term woes for society. These insights help in understanding the complexity of climate–society interactions and the importance of long-term planning on any climate adaptation initiatives.

Title: Indigenous knowledge indicators employed by farmers for adaptation to climate change in rural South Africa
Abstract: 
 The majority of indigenous farmers in South Africa depend on rain-fed agricultural production for their livelihoods. Reliable indigenous weather forecasts are, therefore, required to guide rural farmers’ decisions in regard to climate change. Much of the literature has shown that western scientific knowledge has failed at rural level. Indigenous knowledge has, for the past century assisted rural farmers’ households in tackling the challenges of climate stressors and enhanced decision-making for adaptation. There is, therefore, much room for advancement in assessment processes to ensure adequate credit for indigenous knowledge systems. This study aimed to address two major knowledge gaps (i) to assess the relevance of indigenous knowledge in weather forecasts used by local farmers for climate adaptation, and (ii) examine farmers’ perceptions in regard to climate change in Levubu and Nwanedi sites. Indigenous knowledge indicators used by farmers for weather forecasting, within their communities, were collected through questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions. The results revealed various forms of indigenous indicators used by local farmers for weather forecasting, such as, star and moon movement, appearance of red and black ants and mist-cover on mountains. A better knowledge of indigenous knowledge systems should play an important role in determining suitable adaptation strategies toward climate change. It is recommended, hence, that policy makers should enhance indigenous knowledge among local communities regarding the implications of climatic stressors to increase crop production.

Title: Decoding men’s behavioral responses toward green cosmetics: an investigation based on the belief decomposition approach
Abstract: 
 Due to changes in global trends, men’s grooming behavior in relation to their appearance is deemed one of the drivers in the rising popularity of men’s cosmetic products. Unlike previous studies, this study focused on men and aimed to examine the determinants of consumers’ intentions toward buying green cosmetic products by using the belief decomposition approach (BDA) of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Purposive sampling was employed and 322 valid responses were collected. A PLS-SEM was employed to test the hypotheses. The results demonstrate that attitude (ATT), subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavior control (PBC) positively influence consumers’ intentions. Similarly, nutritional content, health consciousness, and environmental consciousness are positively associated with ATT, but animal welfare has an insignificant association with ATT. In addition, mass media and family influence are positively associated with SN. Moreover, self-efficacy positively influences PBC, but facilitating conditions have an insignificant association with PBC.

Title: Developing ecological endpoints for valuation of semi-arid riparian ecosystem services
Abstract: 
 Creating measurable ecological accounting units has become a point of emphasis in valuing ecosystem services. Understanding which ecological endpoints, which emanate from biophysical production functions, are important to individuals could help to create measurable ecological accounting units. Using two semi-arid riparian ecosystems we create a suite of ecological endpoints and using benefits transfer techniques compare their ability to be transferred to similar riparian ecosystems. If clearly defined, ecological accounting units can be developed for ecosystem services. This could lead to ecosystem services being properly incorporated into benefit cost analyses that maximize economic product of both market and non-market goods and services.

Title: Planning for effective water management: an evaluation of water management plans in California
Abstract: 
 Facing pressures to contend with continual changes in physical availability, to balance water supply with environmental and social impacts, and to build resilience to environmental hazards such as droughts and climate change, water managers increasingly use management plans as a blueprint for managing water. We apply qualitative content analysis to evaluate water management plans from diverse water and land use organizations in California’s Central Valley. To understand whether plans are working toward holistic, multi-dimensional management, we assess plans’ coverage of water supply, environmental, and socioeconomic dimensions of water use, as well as the quality and implementability of the plans. The plans provide a strong assessment of water supplies and indicate progression toward integrated water resource management. However, we identify gaps in managing water for the environment, considering socioeconomic and distributional impacts, planning for future drought and climate change, and effective coordination with other water agencies and the public.

Title: Assessing social responsibility initiatives for public-private partnership success based on multi-criteria decision making: evidence from municipal solid waste management in Ghana
Abstract: 
 Through public-private partnership (PPP), social responsibility (SR) is crucial for developing sustainable public infrastructure for municipal solid waste management (MSWM). This study develops an SR framework for PPP success in MSWM. The study designs a picture fuzzy projection-based grey relational analysis method to rank the SR initiatives for PPP MSWM success. The study identifies nineteen SR initiatives from the literature and groups them into three dimensions: Environmental-based SR, Community-based SR, and Employee-based SR. Biodiversity and water protection, with a relative score of 0.8863, is the most important under the Environmental-based SR. Sanitation equipment provision has a relative score of 0.9095, and it is ranked first under the Community-based SR. Concerning the Employee-based SR, workers’ health and safety is the most important initiative, with a relative score of 0.8931. The findings inform scholars, companies, investors, and policymakers of the initiatives that need attention to promote sustainable development in solid waste management.

Title: Green rewards for optimizing employee environmental performance: examining the role of perceived organizational support for the environment and internal environmental orientation
Abstract: 
 Over the last decade, much attention has been paid to the effectiveness of green reward practices in fostering employee achievement of environmental performance. The current literature reports contradictory findings and points to several gaps in our understanding. First, the effect of green rewards on individual environmental performance is mixed, at best. Second, the role of internal environmental orientation on this effect has been overlooked. Using data from two independent studies, this paper provides findings that help address these issues. The results show that organizational support for the environment conveys the effect of green reward practices on employee environmental performance and indicates that internal environmental orientation only strengthens the indirect effect at high levels. The findings are discussed in light of the literature. The findings draw on two independent samples. POSE conveys the effect of green rewards on employee environmental performance. Internal environmental orientation strengthens the mediating effect of POSE.

Title: Comparing hazard mitigation and climate change adaptation planning approaches
Abstract: 
 Cities are developing hazard mitigation plans (HMP) and climate change adaptation plans (CCAP) with the common aim of proactively reducing vulnerability to future hazards. Yet, they are often treated as distinct planning instruments. Some planning scholars have suggested that HMP and CCAP should be integrated since climate change impacts are increasing and communities have limited time and resources. But, it is unclear how synergistic these two planning approaches are in practice. Focusing on flooding as a key climate-related hazard, this study examines planning frameworks and helps to address this gap by exploring HMPs and CCAPs in three US cities at the forefront of flood resilience planning. We analyze the content of standalone HMPs and CCAPs in Boston, MA, and Seattle, WA, and a combined plan in Baltimore, MD to identify overlaps in practice and explore how, and to what extent, HMPs and CCAPs are synergistic.

Title: Mechanisms influencing mainstreaming of adaptation in spatial development: case studies in three Dutch municipalities
Abstract: 
 Despite adopting a mainstreaming approach to spatial adaptation, few cities actually implement it. Why this is so is disputed, as the implementation stage has been under-researched. Inspired by the “mechanism-based” strand, this paper analyses three implementation projects in the Netherlands. Mechanisms are generalizable patterns yielding more plausible explanations for phenomena than “superficial” barriers or drivers. We found one overarching mechanism: the “institutional void” – an absence of policy frameworks with clear norms and agreements on adaptation. It led to three hampering mechanisms (avoidance of administrative responsibility, aversion to innovation and avoidance of private responsibility) and three stimulating mechanisms (window of opportunity exploitation, efficient coupling and policy entrepreneurship). We demonstrate that, although hampering mechanisms constrain the solution space for mainstreaming adaptation, the stimulating mechanisms prove that room remains for committed actors to use the limited available space efficiently.

Title: Evaluating the spatiotemporal variations of daytime surface and canopy urban heat islands: an arid climate case study
Abstract: 
 Spatiotemporal variations of surface urban heat island (SUHI) and canopy urban heat island (CUHI) are compared in this study for the arid city of Isfahan, Iran, using two datasets for land surface temperature (LST) and air temperature (AT), and three different indices: urban-rural LST difference, urban thermal field variance index (UTFVI) and urban-rural AT difference. The inverted SUHI intensity was shown to vary between −13.9 °C in summer and −1.5 °C in winter, while the hourly average CUHI intensity ranged between −4.4 °C in summer and 6.3 °C in autumn. The spatial variation of CUHI showed significant differences in UHI intensity between urban sites (p < 0.05). Based on UTFVI variation, the non-SUHI and strongest SUHI were dominant phenomena in urban sites. In contrast, SUHI intensities were negative, representing only the non-SUHI phenomenon. The correlation between SUHI and CUHI values was not significant, indicating that intensities of CUHI and corresponding SUHI are not comparable in arid climates. These results demonstrate that for arid climates, determining UHI based on UTFVI, and the urban-rural AT difference, can provide detailed information about spatiotemporal variations of UHI.

Title: An improved emergy ecological footprint method for ecological security assessment and quantitative analysis of influencing factors: a case study of Zhejiang Province
Abstract: 
 A scientific ecological security assessment framework is critical to regional ecological security. This paper improves the emergy ecological footprint model which optimizes the traditional emergy ecological footprint by adding the water supply service, to assess ecological security, and quantitatively analyzed the factors affecting ecological security by partial least squares regression. Zhejiang Province, one of the most developed provinces in China, was selected as a case study. The results show that (1) the emergy carrying capacity (ECC) per capita suffered a reduction from 2004 to 2018. (2) The emergy ecological footprint (EEF) per capita presented a rising trend, with a growth rate of 70.13% from 2004 to 2018. (3) The emergy ecological footprint per capita of biologically productive land has increased except for grassland and waters. (4) There was an ecological surplus in the period of 2004–2009, but an ecological deficit appeared after 2009. (5) The ecological insecurity in Zhejiang Province was increasing, which transformed from a comparably safe state to a relatively unsafe state. (6) The dominant influencing factors affecting Zhejiang’s ecological security were population density, urban built-up area per capita, secondary industry output value, etc. These findings could provide valuable decision support to policy makers in formatting policies on ecological management and sustainable regional development.

Title: A study about the impact of energy saving climate on college students’ energy saving behavior: based on analysis using the hierarchical linear model
Abstract: 
 College students, as a new force in energy saving and emission reduction, play an important role in environmental protection. However, there is a lack of empirical research on the factors that affect college students’ energy-saving behaviors at the individual and organizational levels. In this study, an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) model is employed to narrow this gap. A total of 661 valid data points collected from 51 Chinese universities were used to test related hypotheses. The findings reveal that attitude, perceived responsibility, perceived behavior control and subjective norms are significantly related to energy-saving intention. Meanwhile, energy-saving intention is the most decisive factor for Chinese college students’ energy-saving behavior. More importantly, this paper verified the positive effect of organizational factors (energy-saving climate) on students’ energy-saving intentions and behaviors. Finally, implications for improving students’ energy-saving intention and theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

Title: Corporate social responsibility and CEO dismissals: the dynamic role of average and above-average CSR on CEO dismissals
Abstract: 
 Considering the growing importance of Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) among various stakeholders, the present study investigates the association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and CEO (Chief Executive Officer) dismissals. Based on a sample of Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2019, this research study used a random effect logistic model. The findings of the study indicate that total CSR is positively associated with CEO dismissals. In further analysis, we decompose CSR and show that average CSR is negatively linked with CEO dismissals, indicating that CEOs mitigate career concerns by maintaining an optimal range of CSR investment. Moreover, above-average CSR is positively linked with CEO dismissals, indicating that when CSR investments deviate from their optimal range, CEOs’ risk of dismissal increases. Finally, we have validated our findings and show a U-shaped link between CSR and CEO dismissals. This research is helpful for policymakers in making CSR-related decisions.

Title: Why the Central government prefers to centralize spatial planning approval authority in China? An explanation based on land risk
Abstract: 
 There are various explanations for the centralization of planning approval authority, but few studies focus on the explanation of selective centralization from a national governance perspective. To address this gap, this paper uses the concept of land risk to identify the reason why central government centralizes the planning approval authority of a prefectural-city in China. An econometric quantitative approach is adopted. The findings suggest that land risk from farmland protection is an important factor affecting centralization. Specifically, the probability of centralization increases by approximately 2% for each unit reduction in per capita farmland area, by 1.6% for every 1% increase in land transfer area and by 1% for each level increase in illegal land use. Furthermore, the cities with high land risk are mainly concentrated in four provinces along eastern coastal China. Additionally, the result is predicted with an overall accuracy of 93%, which proves the validity of the model.

Title: Principles and practical criteria for effective participatory environmental planning and decision-making
Abstract: 
 Participation is increasingly used to legitimize and improve environmental decision making. However, in practice participants often find the process empty and frustrating. This has adverse consequences for environmental planning and consenting processes, where participants become disillusioned, and negative feelings develop into active opposition, causing delays, spiraling costs, and conflict. This paper addresses the gap between participatory ideals and unsatisfactory environmental decision-making in practice. We take a fresh look at how participatory ideals can be implemented and propose a new framework based on translating participatory ideals into practice. We identified commitments and values for fair and achievable participatory environmental decision-making from science and technology studies (STS), procedural environmental justice, and deliberative democracy. These were synthesized and organized into a set of principles (inclusivity, process-orientation, empowerment, and reflection) and then translated into “practical” criteria. The result is a new framework that links participatory ideals to practice.

Title: Responding strategically to natural hazards: the role of hazard experience, infrastructure vulnerability, and risk perception in transit agency coordination with stakeholders
Abstract: 
 How public organizations respond strategically to natural hazards is relevant for maintaining functionality and protecting citizens. An essential component of strategic response is coordinating with multiple organizations in ways that provide resources and mutual support. Drawing from resource dependence and cognitive behavior theories, we investigate how different contextual factors predict coordination strategy. We focus on transit agencies in the US and develop hypotheses about how the experience of natural hazards, the transit infrastructure conditions, and public managers’ risk perceptions determine their coordination as responses to immediate and future extreme weather events. This study aims to contribute to the strategic management of natural hazards literature. In particular, we expect that the findings will illuminate how transit agencies consider service area vulnerabilities as part of their strategic coordination efforts. Further, the study will provide insights to managers who are facing the need to balance organizational capacity, risk, and equity.

Title: Would the inequality of environmental quality affect labor productivity and the income gap? Evidence from China
Abstract: 
 Healthy ecosystems and safe workplaces are not equally distributed across regions and people. Increasingly close economic exchanges domestically and abroad have aggravated regional environmental unequal status in China. To evaluate China’s inequality of environmental quality, four-panel environmental Gini coefficients are calculated for 25 Chinese provinces based on the data for 281 prefecture-level cities from 2008 to 2018. China’s inequality level of environmental quality is measured by resource inequality and pollution inequality. The results of the spatial Durbin model and GMM estimations indicate that resource inequality may widen the local income gap but narrow the income gap with distant regions, while the uneven environmental quality significantly inhibits the improvement of labor productivity. The dynamic threshold model results show that pollution inequality in areas with relatively low education levels will widen the local income gap, while resource inequality in areas with low health levels has a strong inhibiting effect on labor productivity.

Title: An analysis of power and conviction around land and linked natural resources in the Western Highlands of Cameroon
Abstract: 
 Questions on power exercise by natural resource actors and inherent conflicts have gained traction in scientific and policy circles in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), although there is virtual neglect of harmful convictions embedded in the exercise of power. To bridge this gap, this paper explores power and convictions around land and linked natural resources in Cameroon. Data was generated through focus group discussions (N = 14), key informant (N = 44) and expert interviews (N = 19). The analysis drew from the actor-centered power lens employing thematic and content analysis. The results indicate the following: First, while gender-based and elitism-based harmful convictions significantly shape land and linked natural resource access, region/ethnic-based and religion-based convictions were less significant. Second, actors championing gender-based convictions employ more coercive approaches, while elitist and political actors make use of incentives. This study informs the actor-centered power (ACP) approach, with emphasis on the convictions embedded in the exercise of power during natural resource acquisition.

Title: Assessing forest accessibility for the multifunctional management of protected areas in Central Italy
Abstract: 
 Multifunctional forest management should provide the opportunity to create, conserve, modify or eliminate forest roads. Within protected areas, it is difficult to make a single assessment of the degree of accessibility to different forest areas, having to mediate among productive forestry, protection needs and other benefits deriving from forest stands. A GIS-based methodology, with the support of a Forest Information System (FIS) and available Forest Plans for the study area, were applied to create an accessibility map (based on the forest roads network) for the Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise National Park (PNALM). Results were related to several FIS metadata, highlighting that accessibility in the study area was sufficient, but not optimal, in the productive management units, being rather poor in those where soil protection and biodiversity conservation are the main functions (only 38.8% of them were accessible). Forest roads density (28.5 m ha−1) was not homogeneously distributed within the study area and the ratio between forest road length (199.4 km) and planned forest surface (13,355.3 ha) is only 14.9 m ha−1. In contrast to what is commonly found in forest accessibility works, the innovative element of this study was the involvement of PNALM’s technical office in evaluating the results and exploring the opportunity to adopt a different policy for forest roads network management.

Title: School travel mode shift from driving to active school travel: an analysis based on SSBC
Abstract: 
 The proportion of trips driving children to school has experienced a sharp increase throughout recent decades, which is accompanied by less physical activity among students, severe traffic congestion during peak hours, and extreme environmental pollution. This study aimed to test the Stage model of Self-regulated Behavioral Change (SSBC) to understand and explain parents’ decision-making process about children’s school travel mode shifting from car use to active school travel. A structural equation model and generalized ordinal logistic regression were used to test the parents’ intention change process. The results show that the model accounted for 94%, 77%, and 69% of the variance in goal intention, behavioral intention, and implementation intention, respectively. Habitual behavior of private vehicle use would, to some extent, hinder parents’ intentions to shift from driving to active school mode use.

Title: Intentional sustainable communities and sustainable development goals: from micro-scale implementation to scalability of innovative practices
Abstract: 
 Intentional sustainable communities (ISCs) are commonly described as micro-based community initiatives that seek to develop sustainable lifestyles with low environmental impact. More recently, they have been analyzed as laboratories for the emergence of innovation, namely social innovation, and as actors that can contribute to sustainable transitions. This reinforces their role as pressure agents and as microscale communities of practice. Theoretically, it is argued that this scalability of innovation dynamics requires a multi-level and multi-actor perspective, mechanisms of reciprocity and that actors are not isolated and atomized. These mechanisms, such as networks, are crucial for the dissemination of sustainability practices and for increasing their potential impact. This article argues that these communities can also be important micro agents in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to mainstream the importance of scaling their innovation practices. To this end, the study uses quantitative data from a survey applied to the ISCs in Europe. The data corroborates the communities’ contribution to the SDGs, namely to SDG12, SDG13 and SDG16 and presents the collaboration network structure established within these communities.

Title: Household food waste prevention behavior: the role of religious orientations, emotional intelligence, and spiritual well-being
Abstract: 
 Household food waste contributes extensively to environmental degradation, and it accounts for half of the food wasted around the globe. This study investigates the effect of religious orientations (intrinsic and extrinsic) on household food waste prevention behavior, considering the mediating role of emotional intelligence and spiritual well-being. A questionnaire was distributed to evaluate the research variables targeting women (n = 475). Structural equation modeling has been adopted to analyze the data. Findings demonstrate that intrinsic religious orientation positively impacts household food waste prevention behavior, whereas extrinsic religious orientation negatively impacts it. Moreover, emotional intelligence and spiritual well-being play a mediating role through the effect of intrinsic religious orientation on household food waste prevention behavior. This study indicates that intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientations have opposite effects on household food waste prevention behavior. Also, emotional intelligence and spiritual well-being highlight the need for different strategies to encourage food waste reduction behavior specific to an individual’s religious orientation.

Title: A sonic perspective for the post-pandemic future of entertainment districts: the case of Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles
Abstract: 
 In 2020, the pandemic impacted the social and economic dynamics of cities around the world. Entertainment districts hosting events, festivals, and other cultural activities were particularly affected, as their loss of attractiveness also impacted their livability. Reflecting on how the experience of the sonic environment contributes to attractiveness and livability in an urban environment, we propose a sonic perspective to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Montreal’s entertainment district – Quartier des Spectacles (QDS). Through semi-structured interviews, we focus on how the sonic experience of QDS’s residents changed throughout 2020, and on how their experiences can provide valuable insight into addressing the district’s future planning and management. Looking at QDS as a case study to orient the post-pandemic trajectories of entertainment districts, we present a number of sound-related governance recommendations aimed at strengthening QDS residents’ involvement in the neighborhood’s cultural, artistic, and political life and its decision-making processes.

Title: How does air pollution risk perception affect residents’ subjective well-being? A structural equation model approach
Abstract: 
 Air pollution has caused many risks to people, but little research has been done on the effect of residents’ air pollution risk perception on their subjective well-being. In order to reveal their relationship, this paper divides air pollution risk perception into four dimensions: risk controllability, risk trust, risk acceptability and risk effect, and explores the effects of different dimensions of air pollution risk perception on subjective well-being based on the structural equation model. The results show that risk controllability, risk trust and risk acceptability can improve well-being, while risk effect can reduce well-being, and air quality satisfaction plays a mediating role. There are also internal influencing mechanisms among different air pollution risk perceptions. Particularly, in areas with poor air quality, risk controllability had a negative association with air quality satisfaction, and higher risk effect corresponded to a higher degree of risk controllability. This paper provides some suggestions for environmental management from the perspective of risk perception.

Title: A comparative study of farming and fishing households’ livelihood vulnerability in the Niger Delta, Nigeria
Abstract: 
 Multiple stressors such as climate shocks, environmental degradation and resource conflicts may pose a great challenge for African communities struggling to adapt to climate change. Yet, there is limited empirical evidence on the differential vulnerabilities of farming and fishing households to these triple stressors. Using a household survey in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, we compare the vulnerability of farming and fishing households. We find that the farming households were more exposed to the triple stressors while the fishing households were more sensitive to the triple stressors owing to their poor physical and natural asset base. In addition, we find that the two groups share similar adaptive capacity and composite vulnerability scores. Overall, interventions such as credit schemes can enable fishing households to address their livelihood disruptions and build their asset endowment, and climate-responsive interventions such as early warning systems can partly reduce the climate exposure of farming households.

Title: Effect of green credit policy on shadow banking activities: entrusted loan evidence from Chinese listed firms
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates whether green credit policy can mitigate firms’ financialization. Using data from Chinese non-financial public listed firms during 2008 to 2019, we take the green credit policy promulgated in 2012 as a quasi-natural experiment and find that: (1) the green credit policy can reduce firms’ entrusted loans, especially affiliated entrusted loans. Moreover, the governance effect exerted by banks’ green credit policy reduces free cash flow and excess cash in heavily polluting firms, as shown in mechanism analysis. (2) The profit-seeking incentive dominates shadow banking activities in heavily polluting enterprises. (3) The 2012 green credit guidelines reduce entrusted loans maturity but increase the interest rate. The findings of this paper provide market-oriented insights into the regulation of shadow banking activities. This research also contributes to the literature on the effects of green credit policy by exploring their impact on firm shadow banking activities, and takes one step further to investigate the effect of green credit policy on firms’ entrusted loans. This paper also sheds light on how green credit policy can alleviate the imperfections and distortions of financial markets in the emerging market.

Title: Sustainability reporting as a tool for fostering sustainable growth in the agri-food sector: the case of Spain
Abstract: 
 The impact of business activity is of increasing concern to European Union citizens. In response, Directive 2014/95/EU becomes the first supranational regulation that requires companies to report business impacts on social and environmental sustainability using sustainability reports (SR). This study aims to analyse the quantity of sustainability information disclosed by Spanish agri-food companies with respect to the requirements established in Directive 2014/95/EU. In order to achieve this, a content analysis is applied to 30 SR following Global Reporting Initiative – GRI – Standards and published after the transposition of the Directive into Spanish regulation. Our findings show a generally low level of reporting, and most of the analysed SR fails to reliably document the information at indicator level. Indeed, the level of disclosure slightly increases for less material information, such as that related to social local communities and employees. Consequently, Spanish agri-food companies should start to make more of an effort to ensure that the information disclosed is complete and of high quality.

Title: Social entrepreneurs and employee green behavior: value systems and social context as moderators
Abstract: 
 Emerging evidence shows that employees can deliver and sabotage entrepreneurs’ environmental performance. Hence, exploring how entrepreneurs can influence employees to maintain and improve environmental performance with work and non-work factors is crucial for managerial and policy interventions. We contribute to the literature by examining the moderating effects of value systems (thus, the opposing bipolar dimensions of self-enhancement-self-transcendence and conservation - openness to change values) and social context on the relationship between Social Entrepreneurship Orientation (SEO) and employee green behavior. Using time-lagged matched data for entrepreneurs and employees (N = 420) from spa hotels in Ghana, our findings show that SEO positively relates to employee green behavior. While this finding is amplified by the moderators, social context recorded a marginal impact. Regardless, social entrepreneurs’ inclination toward the environment influences the corporate behavior of employees, and hotels can seize a favorable social context to enhance their bargaining power on environmental products.

Title: Development of a framework for understanding unsold timber offerings from the US National Forest System
Abstract: 
 Timber sales from the US National Forest System (NFS) can provide ecological and economic benefits. Unsold (“no-bid”) offerings can result in delays, additional costs, and missed targets. We used mixed methods, including analysis of administrative data, synthesis of research, and semi-structured interviews to understand situations considered “no-bid” offerings by different stakeholders. We measured prevalence, identified causes, and generated a framework for communicating interlinkages. From 2007 to 2020, the volume not sold at first offering was 11.9% nationally. However, a substantial amount is sold subsequently, leaving 2.7% never sold. Regions with the highest percentage never sold include Alaska, Southwestern, and Pacific Southwest. A new conceptual framework developed from a literature review and interviews with NFS and industry employees identified proximate causes and underlying factors. Proximate causes include road construction, equipment requirements, and timber condition; whereas underlying factors include staffing, communication, and appraisal methods. These insights can aid communication and help develop future strategies.

Title: Fragmented sustainability governance of telecoupled flows: Brazilian beef exports to China
Abstract: 
 The intensified interconnection of global agri-food systems has linked local sustainability problems to distant global drivers. With point of departure in contributions within the field of environmental governance from the telecoupling literature, we examine how rapidly increasing Chinese demand for beef is associated with detrimental sustainability outcomes in Brazil. Providing an overview of the overlapping public and private governance arrangements that apply to these trade flows, our findings suggest that governance of telecouplings within the beef sector is highly fragmented, and has been predominantly concerned with market facilitation, generally overlooking sustainability issues. China has thereby emerged as a potential source of regulatory leakage, where non-compliant Brazilian exporters can redirect products with a low potential for commercialization in developed countries. We, therefore, call attention to the importance of governing new telecouplings between large developing countries through policies effectuating these states’ official environmental pledges.

Title: Mandatory or voluntary approaches to green roof implementation: a comparative study among some global cities
Abstract: 
 Green roofs can deliver multiple environmental and social benefits by reducing the urban heat island effect, reducing building energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, providing habitat for biodiversity and access to the biophilia effect. Green roofs provide these benefits to differing degrees in different climate zones globally. Despite known benefits, uptake of green roofs has been slow. Different cities, globally, adopt various policies and programmes to increase their green roofs; the question is which approach is best? This research used an in-depth review, site visits and qualitative methods, to determine whether mandatory or voluntary approaches produced greater uptake. Green roof policies and practices from selected global cities, London, Toronto, Singapore, Rotterdam and Stockholm, Sydney and Melbourne were examined. Singapore’s voluntary approach led to the greater uptake of green roofs. The mandatory approach taken by Toronto, with financial grants provided meaningful outcomes. London and Rotterdam implemented useful voluntary programmes, and Stockholm required more time to evaluate the effectiveness of its voluntary approaches in increasing green roofs. A voluntary approach for retrofit and a mandatory approach for new build developments are suggested as recommendations for Australian cities. Given the increases in green roofs internationally, similar increases can occur in Melbourne and Sydney in Australia, and these findings may be transferable to other global cities investigating different approaches to the increased adoption of retrofitted green roofs.

Title: Impact of natural resource conservation technology on productivity and technical efficiency in rainfed areas of Southern India
Abstract: 
 This paper assessed the impact of natural resource management technology (NRCT) on productivity and efficiency in maize production using an endogenous switching regression model in rainfed areas of Southern India. We also identified factors influencing adoption of NRCT, and technical efficiency in maize production. For this study, plot-level primary data from 303 farm households cultivating maize on 419 plots were collected. Results show that adoption of NRCT has resulted in an increase in maize productivity by 490 kg per ha and has also reduced technical inefficiency by 28% as compared to non-adopters. Furthermore, access to credit, better extension services and training on natural resource management are crucial factors positively affecting the adoption of NRCT as well as enhancing the technical efficiency of maize production. Therefore, these factors need to be considered when formulating policies and programmes that aim to improve crop productivity in rainfed areas, as well as sustaining natural resources.

Title: Independent investigation in marine spatial planning: necessary or discretionary?
Abstract: 
 Public Inquiry is an established process for effective testing and scrutiny of plans in terrestrial planning and is regarded as a means of providing credibility and accountability. Independent Investigation is its marine equivalent and was included as a provision in the UK marine planning regime and subsequent legislation since its inception. However, it has been noticeably absent in practice. This paper investigates the reasons behind this situation within the context of the proposed and actual role of II in the marine planning process in the UK. It additionally considers the future use of II in enhancing the quality and effectiveness of the marine planning system. This paper concludes that as the use of the marine resource of the UK becomes increasingly contested and controversial, II could be utilized to enhance marine plans and marine planning decisions and thus warrants further investigation.

Title: Understanding public administrators’ and citizens’ preferences for a successful transition to pesticide-free urban green spaces
Abstract: 
 Bans on the cosmetic use of pesticides in urban green spaces (UGS) is part of the toolbox to reduce pesticide use. While most technical barriers have been lifted, the acceptability of the global changes induced by pesticide-free UGS management is questioned. Public administrators in charge of UGSs have their own preferences and poorly informed opinions on citizens’ ones. A Discrete Choice Experiment approach was adopted to investigate the discrepancy between the preferences of French citizens and public administrators in charge of technical and budget decisions, in 2017, when the pesticide ban was enforced. Results indicate that the most important differences are in the willingness to improve the working conditions of the maintenance teams, the interest in more natural UGSs and the relevance of communication on the pesticide ban. By challenging some of the opinions of UGS administrators with regard to citizens’ preferences, our results remove some of the barriers to a successful transition toward pesticide-free UGSs.

Title: Governance through storytelling and possible futures: motorcycle-cab service planning in Mexico City
Abstract: 
 In the periphery of Mexico City, the informal motorcycle cab service (MCS) has provided people with local mobility for the last twenty years, involving thousands of jobs. Through the last five years or so, a formalization of the MCS has been in process. This article discusses a governance-based participatory workshop supporting such a process of formalization. In the workshop, stakeholders from different social groups have shared their MCS experience, visions and aspirations. The starting point for the analysis is the storytelling coming from the workshops, ranging from problem definitions to common agreements. Through an interpretative approach, utopian possible futures and storytelling elements are elaborated. These created an outcome that influenced the formalization process of the MCS, promoting electric bike-cabs (‘ciclo-taxis’) that favor a formal and green guild of transport cooperatives.

Title: Factors that determine visitor satisfaction in a lake: a case study from Oklahoma, USA
Abstract: 
 Since anglers and other non-consumptive visitors make a significant contribution to local economies, their satisfaction plays an important role in sustainable management of fisheries in rural areas. We administered a survey to understand whether, and to what extent, site-specific and demographic factors contribute to visitor satisfaction in a lake experiencing a water crisis. Survey data showed that compared to anglers, non-anglers were generally more satisfied with their overall trip experience. Moreover, results from an ordinal logit regression model suggested that anglers who feel a connection with the lake are likely to be more satisfied with their experience. Likewise, fishing quality played an important role in angling satisfaction. Managers may see visitors satisfied by focusing on maintaining a unique quality fishery, enhancing facilities, reducing the presence of litter, and addressing other environmental problems around the lake.

Title: Measuring the effects of climate techs and social inequality on climate performance using a SEM-DEA approach
Abstract: 
 The objective of this study was to propose an index based on the IPAT model to quantify the performance of countries concerning their emissions, also taking into account the level of climate technology and the level of inequality. In this study, two quantitative techniques were applied to a sample of 100 countries and 21 indicators. The main results were: (a) a 1% increase in social inequality contributes to an increase in emissions levels by 0.105; (b) the 1% increase in climate techs contributes to reducing emissions levels by 0.141; (c) The proposed IPA index shows that only Estonia and Slovenia are the best performers, mainly in overcoming the inequality barrier, while South Africa and Nigeria are the worst performers in reducing their emissions. The results provide evidence that climate policies should contain social targets to improve country performance and should use a representative value to identify their effectiveness.

Title: Applying landscape-level principles to koala management in Australia: a comparative analysis
Abstract: 
 We provide a comparative analysis of two koala management plans for populations in two Australian municipalities, based on principles of landscape management: Ballarat (Victoria) and Bellingen (New South Wales). A landscape-based approach is required to protect the species, but evaluation of landscape management is limited. We present an assessment framework for evaluating local koala management plans. The plans are evaluated against a common set of principles and criteria, despite very different approaches stemming from context-specific factors. Interestingly, despite a variation in the number of indicators in the plans, the overall results of the evaluation demonstrate a similar level of performance against the criteria, and common strengths and weaknesses. In the absence of consistent standards for the protection of the koala across Australia, the species will continue to decline, and management practices will fail to protect the koala from extinction, as is currently predicted.

Title: Breaking carbon lock-in: the role of green financial inclusion for China
Abstract: 
 This article evaluates the composite index of carbon lock-in (CLI), and then examines whether green financial inclusion (GFI) can help to explain the pace of CLI in 283 Chinese cities for the period 2010–2017. We also conduct four heterogeneous analyses, and detect the asymmetric, threshold, and mediating effects in the GFI-CLI nexus. The primary findings reveal that: (1) GFI plays a significant role in CLI abatement; (2) the restraining effect of GFI on CLI is more significant in eastern China, first-tier cities, non-resource-based cities, and capital cities; (3) GFI shows an asymmetric correlation with CLI at various quantiles. Moreover, internet penetration would enhance such a negative relationship; (4) GFI has an indirect acceleration effect of eliminating CLI through the channels of innovation, government support, and development of the digital economy. Following the above findings, we propose some suggestions related to climate change mitigation and GFI evolution.

Title: Adaptive capacity in the multi-level management system of migratory waterbirds: a case study of participatory goose management in Sweden
Abstract: 
 Adaptive management (AM) is one approach to manage migratory waterbirds, but obstacles to the implementation of AM require adaptive capacities in the management system (rules, institutions, action situations). This study aims to examine the adaptive capacity of participatory goose management in Sweden. Considering the biophysical and institutional context, we analyzed how tangible, individual, and governance assets were associated with technical and social learning. Interviews with informants in the national council for geese, swans, and cranes, and local management groups (LMGs) were conducted, and documentation reviewed. Results revealed evidence of a local preparedness in areas with an LMG. Nevertheless, the study highlighted a need to formalize the evolving system, to consider a more systematic implementation of AM (including regulations allowing for adaptive responses), and to ensure stakeholder acceptance for management tools and visions. The study illustrates the need for a broad set of assets to ensure learning in participatory management.

Title: The road to eco-efficiency: can ecological civilization pilot zone be useful? New evidence from China
Abstract: 
 Ecological civilization construction is an important dimension to achieve high-quality economic development. This paper evaluates the eco-efficiency improvement effect of China’s ecological civilization pilot zone policy utilizing the synthetic control method (SCM) differences-in-differences method (DID) and examines the influence mechanism of ecological civilization pilot zones on eco-efficiency in the light of the environmental pollution penalty, green technological innovation, and environmental publicity and education. The study results indicate that the construction of the ecological civilization pilot zone policy has substantially boosted eco-efficiency in the pilot areas, with the strongest boosting effect on eco-efficiency in Fujian province, followed by Guizhou province, and not significantly on eco-efficiency in Jiangxi province. Further, this paper also reveals that the construction of ecological civilization pilot zones has effectively contributed to eco-efficiency through channels such as strengthening the environmental pollution penalty, stimulating green technological innovation, and broadening environmental publicity and education.

Title: Foreign direct investment and carbon emissions in China: “Pollution Haven” or “Pollution Halo”? Evidence from the NARDL model
Abstract: 
 Based on nonlinear autoregressive distributed lagged (NARDL) model, FDI is divided into two shocks (FDI+ and FDI−) to analyze its impacts on China’s carbon emissions. Outcomes confirm that: in the short-term, FDI+ notably promoted China’s carbon emissions, while FDI− shed no significant light on it; in the long-term, both FDI+ and FDI− significantly accelerate China’s carbon emissions, and the promoting effect from FDI− is much higher. “Pollution Haven” effect was validated in both the long- and short-term. Meanwhile, China’s carbon emissions showed a “U-shaped” relationship with economic development, and were positively related to population growth and energy intensity. Therefore, FDI should be carefully guided into energy-saving and clean-production industries and technologies, while FDI introduced into energy-intensive fields should be strictly scrutinized and higher taxes levied, to reduce carbon emissions. Policies oriented towards energy transformation, such as promoting new renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements, should be given greater priority in the future.

Title: Economic integration and environmental quality: accounting for the roles of financial development, industrialization, urbanization and renewable energy
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the effect of economic integration on the environment in a sample of 36 African countries from 1990 to 2018. We employ the fixed-effect D&K estimator and the mediation analysis to examine direct and indirect effects, respectively. The findings reveal that economic integration improves the environment only when its negative indirect effects are neutralized. Precisely, economic integration has a direct negative effect on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and an indirect positive effect through urbanization, renewable energy consumption, financial development, and industrialization. The net effect is positive, and therefore, economic integration undermines the environmental quality in Africa. This result is robust when economic integration is split into trade and financial integration. The main implication of this study is that integration policies in Africa should also target greening the financial sector, sustainable urban planning, energy efficiency in the industrial sector, and renewable energy use.

Title: Do the roles of green supply chain learning, green employee creativity, and green organizational citizenship behavior really matter in circular supply chain performance?
Abstract: 
 To date, scholars have given less attention to how inter-firm learning and human factors promote a circular supply chain for SMEs in emerging markets. Drawing upon the socio-technical system theory, this study explores how green supply chain learning, green organizational citizenship behavior, and green employee creativity contribute to circular supply chain performance. Findings from a survey of 153 firms in Ghana suggest that green supply chain learning does not have a significant impact on circular supply chain performance and green employee creativity, but it significantly relates to green organizational citizenship behavior. In addition, green organizational citizenship behavior and green employees’ creativity have a significant effect on circular supply chain performance. Finally, green organizational citizenship behavior and green employee creativity jointly mediate the relationship between green supply chain learning and circular supply chain performance. The study offers insight into the factors that drive circular supply chain performance of small and medium enterprises in an emerging economy.

Title: Climate adaptation and risk preparedness in Florida’s East Coast cities: views of municipal leaders
Abstract: 
 Cities along Florida’s Atlantic coastline are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, posing significant challenges for city planners. How cities see themselves in terms of developing or implementing their climate change adaptation action plans depends, in part, on the extent to which they perceive climate-related events as risks, and their city size. Data were obtained from city leaders (i.e. mayors, city/town managers, or their designees) from 86 cities along Florida’s Atlantic Coast from January to May 2021 to quantitatively assess factors influencing city adaptation planning. Validity and reliability were obtained for the survey. Multiple regression analyses showed significant positive correlations between perceived risk, city size, and (self-assessed) climate change preparedness. A statistical interaction was noted; as city size increased, risk perception decreased.

Title: Environmentally friendly urban development: changes in decision-makers’ attitudes, problem perceptions and policy preferences over three decades
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates changes in decision-makers’ attitudes toward environmentally sustainable urban development in selected Norwegian urban settlements between 1991 and 2020. Changes in general environmental attitudes, problem perceptions and policy preferences concerning urban development are analyzed based on a survey conducted three decades apart in the same case areas among similar samples of decision-makers. The results show a general picture of some mainstreaming of environmental concern, environmentally friendly attitudes and positive attitudes toward measures supporting nature and climate friendly urban development. At the same time, there has been an increased divide between the political left and the political right in their attitudes toward environmental issues in general, as well as toward environmentally sustainable urban development. The results point to a widening gap between environmental attitudes and problem perceptions on the one hand, and the physical reality of escalating crises in the natural world.

Title: Does participation in e-commerce affect fruit farmers’ awareness of green production: evidence from China
Abstract: 
 Based on data for 812 Chinese farmers and a conditional mixed process (CMP) approach, this paper investigates the impact of farmers’ e-commerce participation on their awareness of green production. Main results include: (1) e-commerce participation increases farmers’ overall awareness of green production by 0.771 (i.e. 0.88 standard deviations); meanwhile such impact is more evident for old-generation, low-income and small-scale farmers; (2) risk awareness is most affected among three sub-dimensions; (3) three influencing channels are confirmed, which are improving information acquisition, strengthening connections with the food market, and alleviating information asymmetry. This paper concludes that e-commerce can play a significant role in promoting the green transition of farmers and agricultural production. As for implications, policymakers need to further promote e-commerce in agriculture while building a more solid food system, including green food certification and a full chain traceability system. However, farmers’ heterogeneities should be considered when any intervention is proposed.

Title: The role of capabilities in the adoption of green operations and competitiveness
Abstract: 
 Despite the advancement of research on green and sustainable supply chains in the current literature, it is seen that firms lack capabilities to develop the competence they need to adopt green operations. The aim of this study is to bring to light capabilities that are crucial for the adoption of green product and process design, manufacturing and logistics. It analyses the relationship between firm capabilities, green operations, and a firm’s competitiveness. For this, it collects and analyses data from Indian manufacturing firms using variance-based structural equation modeling. Our findings show that corporate environmental strategy and knowledge assessment have positive associations with green product and process design, manufacturing and logistics, respectively. Likewise, co-evolving has a significant relationship with green operations. Further, firms can significantly improve their competitiveness by adopting green operations.

Title: Diffusing responsibility, decentralizing infrastructure: hydrosocial relationships within the shifting stormwater management paradigm
Abstract: 
 A paradigm shift process has begun in stormwater governance and management in the United States, away from centralized infrastructure and toward more decentralized practices. This transition is prompted by heightened climate change, increased urbanization, and an intense call for change in regulatory measures. Within this shift, two key and related developments have arisen: (1) the implementation of small-scale, green infrastructure, and (2) the increasing involvement of individuals and communities in managing stormwater. Despite a perceived need for this paradigm shift by most experts, there continues to be slow progress toward achieving decentralization due to changes involving redefining who is responsible for managing stormwater and how and where stormwater management is being managed. Through semi-structured interviews and Q-methodology within two urban watersheds in Maryland and Washington DC, we assess perspectives on the evolving stormwater paradigm among residents and stormwater professionals, such as nonprofit organizations, funders, policy makers and researchers. We evaluated differences in stakeholder perspectives related to who is responsible for management, the best ways to do it, and the future of stormwater management. We identified three hydrosocial relationships that stakeholders have with stormwater: Market Decentralists, Anti-Market Decentralists, and Technocratic Opportunists. Across these hydrosocial relationships, we demonstrate that there is agreement for decentralizing stormwater management through infrastructural changes and involvement of residents and communities. Nevertheless, substantial differences remain as to how stormwater is viewed, the role and responsibilities of residents, and the most effective policies to engage with residents and communities. We highlight how these differences represent significant hurdles toward implementing decentralized infrastructure and involving residents and communities in managing stormwater. Using these insights, we discuss the potential for alignment and cooperation among these diverging hydrosocial relationships and continuing the shift toward decentralized stormwater management.

Title: Zoning to enhance local sustainability: why local governments choose to use sustainability-focused land use tools
Abstract: 
 The use of land use regulations to enhance a city’s sustainability portfolio is not well understood by public administration and policy scholars. Given the positive impact higher-density, environmentally conscious zoning instruments can have on a city’s overall progress toward increased sustainability, we seek to determine why some cities use these sustainability-focused land use regulations and others do not. After developing an explanatory framework emphasizing a city’s population growth and environmental stress, as well as its political institutions and economic conditions, we use an enhanced ICMA’s (International City/County Management Association) Local Government Sustainability Practices survey to test our predictions. We find that cities experiencing greater population growth and environmental stress will be more likely to include land use regulations in their sustainability portfolios. We also find that cities operating under council-manager forms of government and those with greater fiscal resources are more likely to have sustainability-focused zoning regulations in place.

Title: Combining behavioural and reflective policy tools for the environment: a scoping review of behavioural public policy literature
Abstract: 
 Recent advances in behavioural and communication sciences generated enthusiasm in public policy for new ways of ‘framing’ messages and ‘nudging’ individual behaviour. Wide research and practice of behavioural interventions that have since ensued triggered the rise of a new sub-field called Behavioural Public Policy (BPP). At the same time, nudges – a part and parcel of BPP, have received criticism for being paternalistic, non-democratic and lacking evidence of long-term effectiveness. More recently, the whole project of BPP has come under criticism as construed too narrowly. Critics have argued for a new approach to BPP that is pluralistic, multi-disciplinary and multi-method. One key pillar of it is a ‘policy mix’ – a combined application of behavioural and non-behavioural policy tools. Little is known, however, about ‘policy mixes’ in practice. This paper conducts a scoping non-exhaustive review of the academic and policy literature published between 2008 and 2020 that discusses policy mixes of behavioural policy tools (defined in this paper as ‘nudges’ and ‘frames’) and reflective policy tools (defined in this paper as ‘deliberative’ events and incentives for individuals to ‘think’) employed within environmental policy. Two questions guide this review: (a) what are the characteristics of policy mixes in terms of their types, geography, sectors of application, and empirical detail of exposition?; (b) to what extent do existing policy mixes include broader governance aspects of politics, awareness of contextuality and flexibility? By taking stock of experiences of empirical place-based policy mixes of behavioural and reflective tools, we provide insights into a fast-developing body of scholarship and point to ways forward with policy mixes. The paper is also relevant to policy studies beyond the domain of the environment.

Title: Energy efficiency and driving factors of railway cold chain transportation in China
Abstract: 
 Due to the temperature control function, the unit energy consumption of cold chain transportation is more than that of ordinary transportation. Although rail transportation is known as an energy-efficient means, little attention has been given to the energy efficiency of railway cold chain transportation (RCCT). To address this gap, in this research, detailed waybill data for China’s railway cold-chain is applied. First, we investigate the RCCT market in China and provide an energy consumption calculation method for RCCT. Then, the provincial energy consumption and the efficiency of RCCT are compared based on a DEA-SBM model. Finally, the Tobit model is utilized to assess how various factors influence energy efficiency. The findings could provide support for energy-saving policy-making in the cold chain transportation sector at the national and regional level, which has been discussed in scenario analysis.

Title: Are small and medium enterprises defining their business models to reach a symbolic or substantive environmental legitimacy?
Abstract: 
 Involvement of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is critical to the decarbonization of economies; however, legitimacy theory, climate change strategies, and the business model (BM) literature have not addressed this issue in depth. This research analyses whether SMEs define their environmental BMs to achieve substantive legitimacy by reducing their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. We analyze the relationships among environmental value proposition, creation, and capture using partial least-squares structural equation modeling with the data for 695 SMEs. The results show that SMEs’ environmental value proposition takes into account symbolic and substantive environmental legitimacy. This broad definition of the value proposition drives SMEs to undertake environmental value creation initiatives, but these initiatives are not very effective in reducing CO2 emissions. These results indicate that SMEs seek symbolic legitimacy more than substantive legitimacy, which has important implications for managers and policymakers who want SMEs to contribute to the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Title: Spatial-temporal nexus of economic complexity interaction with human capital and political stability on environmental quality and their possible causes of change for BRI countries
Abstract: 
 Environmental degradation (ED) and the factors that influence it are being addressed on several levels, including individual, domestic, and geographical. Our research collaborates in two ways. First, it investigates the effect of economic complexity (EC) interaction with human capital (HC) and political stability on the environmental quality of 55 Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries. Second, spatial impacts are considered when calculating variables influencing environmental quality at the geographical level. The relevance of geographical effects is determined using different diagnostic procedures, and direct and spillover effects are evaluated using the Spatial Durbin Model to examine the phenomena. Political stability reduces ED and improves ecological sustainability by regulating EC and ED. Surprisingly, the spatial interaction term of HC and EC indicates that EC improves environmental quality through the HC channel in the native country and its neighbors. From these findings, policymakers might gain new insights and enhance environmental quality in BRI countries.

Title: Impact of information and communication technologies on corporate energy intensity: evidence from cross-country micro data
Abstract: 
 Using a sample of manufacturing enterprises from the World Bank Survey during the period from 2006 to 2020, this study explores the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on corporate energy intensity and its mechanisms. Empirical results show that ICT adoption significantly improves the energy intensity of manufacturing enterprises in emerging and developing countries; a change in the standard deviation of ICT adoption can contribute 22.58% of the difference in corporate energy intensity. On the one hand, ICT adoption intensifies market competition and reduces product price markups, leading manufacturing enterprises to reduce investment in energy conservation. On the other hand, ICT adoption is complementary to energy and can promote energy input to replace traditional factors such as labor and capital, thereby increasing corporate energy intensity. The market competition effect and factor substitution effect account for 14.96% and 73.71% of the total effect. This study also confirms the Solow Productivity Paradox in ICT adoption, leading to the failure of the productivity mechanism for ICT to reduce energy intensity.

Title: Increasing uptake of improved land management practice to benefit environment and landholders: insights through a transaction cost lens
Abstract: 
 Transaction costs, related to either investigating improved land management practices (ILMP), engaging in adoption support programs for these practices and/or implementing changes on-ground, create barriers to ILMP adoption. Perceived and actual transaction costs have long been hypothesised as a potential barrier to grazier adoption of ILMPs in catchments to the Great Barrier Reef. Applying a framework derived from transaction cost theory, we assess this hypothesis. Through semi-structured interviews of a sample of participants in two ILMP programs, we find that ILMP adoption support program characteristics have a large influence on perceived and actual transaction costs of landholders seeking to engage in ILMP programs or adopt ILMPs. The importance of establishing and nurturing relationships between landholders and extension officers was also highlighted as critical to reducing landholder transaction costs. The degree to which relationships reduce transaction costs demonstrates the importance of fostering landholder leadership in ILMP program design as well as targeted extension in supporting adoption.

Title: Institutions for long-term problems: the influence of the Dutch Delta Programme on forward-looking climate adaptation responses at the local level
Abstract: 
 Climate change requires forward-looking policy responses. Developing such responses can be challenging for governments and, therefore, specific long-term institutions have been proposed for overcoming short-termism. However, the impacts of such institutions have been underexplored. In this paper, we analyze the influence of a long-term institution, the Dutch Delta Programme, on local governments’ decisions. The paper results are based on an analysis of climate adaptation strategies, investment plans and adaptation projects and interviews with policymakers, across seven Dutch municipalities. Results indicate that while local adaptation strategies are largely forward looking, adaptation projects tend to focus on solving present-day issues. We found that the Delta Programme enabled local governments to make forward-looking decisions and policies, by: (1) providing knowledge about climate vulnerabilities, (2) creating a broader framing of the issue of climate change, and (3) providing guidance for developing local climate adaptation policies.

Title: Industrial symbiosis as a business strategy for the circular economy: identifying regional firms’ profiles and barriers to their adoption
Abstract: 
 Among the various proposed models for practically developing a circular economy system, industrial symbiosis (IS) is one of the most promising. This paper aims at better understanding the extent to which regional industrial symbiosis practices have been internalized in companies and, second, at identifying the most important barriers that impede a company from the adoption of such practices at regional level. The research is grounded on original data collected using a questionnaire. The results allowed the division of firms into four clusters corresponding to different levels of adoption: (i) the perfectly symbiont companies that undertake all the proposed industrial symbiosis practices; (ii) the non-adopters that are low in terms of IS activities; (iii) the resource savers that focus on the use of by-products or waste from other companies; and the (iv) outbound activity optimizers that concentrate on the sale of their by-products and waste to other companies. Moreover, the results contributed to the identification of regulatory constraints and high investment costs and difficulties in finding financing as significant causes that hinder companies in the adoption of regional industrial symbiosis practices, while networking and logistic barriers appear not to be relevant. To overcome these barriers and to promote the adoption of IS at regional level, supporting the transition towards the circular paradigm, several political and managerial suggestions are proposed.

Title: Determinants of green purchase intention in the banking sector
Abstract: 
 The worldwide climate emergency has made it imperative for financial institutions to adopt a proactive attitude towards sustainable business practices. However, little has been done to develop an integrated framework that would enhance the purchase intention for banks using green initiatives and thus facilitate the green economy. This study summarizes the literature on four constructs – green brand image, green brand equity, green brand trust and green purchase intention – into a framework, has developed five hypotheses, and validated them empirically using structural equation modelling in the Indian Banking sector, thus addressing a very important research gap. The findings reveal a positive relationship between four constructs in the framework with a partial mediating effect of green trust between green brand image and green brand equity. The findings of the study have pertinent theoretical, managerial and social relevance and will benefit researchers, policy makers and stakeholders worldwide to design green banking strategies for a resource-efficient future.

Title: Community capacity and climate change in the Laurentian Great Lakes Region: the importance of social, human, and political capital for community responses to climate-driven disturbances
Abstract: 
 The Laurentian Great Lakes region in North America is experiencing climate-driven disturbances that threaten the public safety of the region and is forcing communities to respond. Communities vary in their ability to respond to these disturbances based on their existing capacities and access to resources, but responses in the region are uneven and create vulnerabilities to disasters. A virtual workshop was conducted to understand the community responses to climate-driven disturbances in the Great Lakes and identify the essential capacities for effective responses. Results show that the region as a whole has not responded adequately, and although the resources exist to respond, they are not adequately organized, and inequalities between urban and rural communities can exacerbate these challenges. Community capacities identified as critical for resilience include leadership, scientific knowledge, and connection to broader regional networks to access additional resources, but there are challenges with the complacency of some communities and deficiencies in mental health services.

Title: Characteristics and driving factors of carbon emissions in China
Abstract: 
 Many regions or countries seek to transition to a low-carbon economy, but there is ambiguity about how carbon emissions change with economic growth. This paper captures characteristics of carbon emissions in China using the Tapio Method. To detect driving factors of carbon emissions in economic growth, we adopt the Log-Mean Divisia Index decomposition method. The results of the paper are as follows: (1) Economic growth in most regions of China has outpaced the growth rate of carbon emissions, showing the characteristics of decoupling. (2) Metropolitan cities have a greater impact on the level of decoupling in neighboring provinces and municipalities. (3) The decoupling of carbon emissions from economic growth is caused by declining energy intensity in China. (4) The energy mix and industrial structure have little impact on the growth rate of carbon emissions. In addition, some policy implications are summarized according to the findings of this paper.

 There have been increasing calls for a paradigm shift in urban water management to a water sensitive cities (WSC) approach. Although it is well recognised that development of water sensitive communities is key to sustainable urban water transitions, there is no established definition for the “water sensitive community.” This study conducts a systematic review to understand how water sensitive communities are characterised in the literature and applies a complex adaptive systems perspective to the findings. The review identifies 16 attributes that define water sensitive communities, involving elements of participation, collaboration, liveability, shared ownership and responsibility in transition processes, and resilience. We add to this by linking WSC research with complex adaptive systems theory and propose a new definition of the water sensitive community as a complex adaptive system. This presents a realistic framework in which to study the complex interactions and dynamic aspects of a water sensitive community.

Title: More than a ‘voice’: Indigenous transmission in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan
Abstract: 
 The Uluru Statement (2017) has recently focused attention on Indigenous state relations as an Indigenous ‘voice’ to government. For decades, Indigenous peoples in Australia have sought a meaningful voice in settler state environmental planning and management regimes, with limited success. Little attention has been paid to what constitutes an effective Indigenous voice. I conceptualise Australian Indigenous environmental planning and management as a dual deliberative system where Indigenous groups must transmit their messages into settler institutions and processes. I analyse the democratic quality of this transmission between two Indigenous deliberative forums, Northern Basin Aboriginal Nations and the Murray Lower Darling Rivers Indigenous Nations and the commonwealth Murray-Darling Basin Authority in developing the controversial Murray-Darling Basin Plan (2012). These deliberative forums improve the transmission quality of Indigenous environmental discourses. They are more than a voice; they are a democratic innovation which goes beyond the limits of state ‘inclusion’ of Indigenous environmental values.

Title: Does the green credit policy improve audit fees? Evidence from Chinese firms
Abstract: 
 Using panel data for Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2015, this research examines the impact of the green credit policy on the audit fees of heavily polluting firms by adopting a difference-in-difference (DID) model. The results show that the green credit policy increases the audit fees of heavily polluting firms, suggesting that auditors can perceive the risks imposed by the green credit policy on heavily polluting firms. Mechanism tests reveal that the implementation of the green credit policy increases audit fees by increasing the financing cost and reducing the loan maturity. Further research shows that the positive effect is more significant in regions with stronger regulatory environments and higher trust, and among firms without political connections and audited by the top-ten domestic audit firms. The Chinese government should actively encourage third-party financial institutions to participate in firms’ environmental governance.

Title: An assessment of the Ecological Conservation Redline: unlocking priority areas for conservation
Abstract: 
 Protected areas (PAs) are established to conserve wildlife habitats and biodiversity. To this end, the Chinese central government has initiated a pioneering environmental planning and management policy known as the Ecological Conservation Redline (ECR). While the ecological benefits of ECR policy have been extensively evaluated, spatially explicit assessment of the ECR remains understudied. Here, we propose an element-function-structure framework for assessing the concurrence of ECR areas and ecological conservation hotspots to further outline priority areas for conservation. Results show that 67% of existing PAs are protected by ECR areas, while that of ecological corridors is only 11%. Regional variation in the ECR representativeness can be leveraged by deliberately protecting tailored ecological conservation hotspots in specific locations and stepping stones in ecological corridors. This study highlights the substantial space for ecological management to achieve the goals of ECR policy, and discourses on the co-production of knowledge from researchers and policy makers.

Title: Ecological footprint analysis of tourism management in rural areas
Abstract: 
 Ecological footprint analysis is one of the most useful models for the environmental impact assessment of human activities. This research aimed to estimate the environmental impacts of the tourism industry on Hosainabad village, Kurdistan Province, Iran by using the ecological footprint model. A descriptive-analytical method is used based on documentary library studies as well as field surveys. The statistical population for this study is the number of tourists who visited Hosainabad village in 2018. The findings show that the tourism ecological footprint in Hosainabad village in food, transportation, heating, water, electricity, and waste generation groups was 0.994 hectares) per capita). Comparing this amount with its surrounding spaces indicates that the tourism industry in Hosainabad relies on an area beyond this village to meet its biological needs and environmental sustainability. Findings suggest that decision-makers must pay enough attention to tourists’ activities in small areas in order to prevent further environmental disruption.

Title: Balancing development and forest conservation: the impact of Maryland’s Forest Conservation Act on spatial configuration of forest and housing
Abstract: 
 We use a unique dataset of land parcels and forest cover, before and after subdivision development, to examine outcomes of Maryland’s Forest Conservation Act (FCA). Focusing on the spatial configuration of homes and forests, we compare subdivisions created before and after FCA implementation in 1993. We found minimal impacts of FCA on forest outcomes we considered: houses were as likely to be built in forest before and after FCA, and forest metrics showed increasing fragmentation with development unchanged by FCA regulation. However, the FCA led to a greater proportion of forest located away from houses after development. Other regulatory efforts, particularly zoning and riparian buffer regulations, were consistently related to outcomes we studied. FCA has been successful in preserving forest cover, but a stronger emphasis on connectivity and conservation of large forest patches, particularly for parcels with extensive forest cover, will be helpful in reducing fragmentation and disturbance with development.

Title: Sociocultural mapping of ecosystem service values can inform where to mitigate wildfire risk: a case study from Colorado
Abstract: 
 Accounting for ecosystem service values in wildfire risk mitigation remains a challenge. In this study we utilize public participatory GIS methods to measure ecosystem service values and overlay those values with maps of wildfire hazard. Our first objective is to understand sociocultural demand for ecosystem services, and our second objective is to show how non-monetary ecosystem service valuation methods can be used to inform wildfire risk mitigation decisions. Regulating ecosystem services, such as water quality, biodiversity/habitat, and air quality, along with recreation and aesthetics, were the most highly valued ecosystem services in our study. These ecosystem service values were clustered around roads, towns, and water features and correlated with accessibility, education, and income. These values also had significant overlap with wildfire hazard, suggesting that this non-monetary mapping approach could provide a more participatory method of incorporating people’s preferences into decisions about where to target wildfire mitigation efforts.

Title: Machinery import, R&D spillover, and energy efficiency
Abstract: 
 The gap in demand and supply of energy across Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries has increased energy insecurity in the region. Therefore, power outages have become pervasive, causing unemployment and a decline in production output. Among the several energy-saving factors identified in the literature across developing economies, technological spillover driven by trade openness appears to be a prominent factor in improving energy efficiency. Thus, this study evaluates the impact of machinery imported from OECD and non-OECD countries and its corresponding research and development (R&D) spillover on energy efficiency performance in 18 SSA countries from 1995 to 2017. Using a stochastic energy distance function, we discover that aggregated data from OECD and non-OECD countries have no significant effect on energy efficiency performance across SSA countries. However, results from disaggregated data for OECD and non-OECD machinery imports show that OECD machinery imports improve energy efficiency contrary to non-OECD imports. Thus, technology spillover from OECD countries is advantageous for SSA countries to reduce long-term energy-based emissions. Furthermore, our results show that human capital has no significant effect on SSA energy efficiency. Consequently, the results possess some policy implications; for instance, policymakers responsible for promoting science and technology could increase investment in human capital development by developing technology and engineering expertise and increasing GDP allocation to R&D activities. For energy efficiency scores, we observe substantial differences in efficiency across SSA countries – implying potential improvements in energy efficiency across SSA countries.

Title: Assessment of the sustainability of Cuban nature-based tourism destinations with the DEA approach under different weighting schemes
Abstract: 
 Data Envelopment Analysis is among the most frequently used methods to create composite indices in sustainability measurement. The present study aims to contribute toward the use of this methodology thanks to its ability either to seek an individual weighting scheme for each destination or to use a common set of weights for all the alternatives. The first alternative is similar to the CCR model, while the other is comprised of two parts: one that maximizes the total efficiency of the units and the other that minimizes the minimum efficiency. The study was conducted in Cuba using both parts, objective and subjective indicators attained from the regional proposal known as the Caribbean Zone of Sustainable Tourism. The results demonstrate the reliability of the selected indicators to measure tourism sustainability, the feasibility of the proposal for being combined with other approaches in supporting the decision-making process, and the great explanatory power of the outcomes.

Title: A comprehensive framework tool for performance assessment of NBS for hydro-meteorological risk management
Abstract: 
 This paper describes an assessment framework tool to analyze the performance of nature-based solutions (NBS) for hydro-meteorological risk management. The tool is based on multi-criteria decision analysis within the context of NBSs, an umbrella concept currently in focus that promotes nature and provides ecological and socio-economic benefits. The proposed tool includes the selection and application of key performance indicators (KPIs) for the co-benefits and costs associated with the implementation of NBSs. To ensure high societal impact, the tool relies on a participatory approach. Stakeholder preferences are taken into account within the assessment process. As such, the assessment framework can be used as a design and selection tool for NBSs and other alternative measures, including grey and hybrid solutions. The proposed procedure can be adapted to the specific socio-environmental context and hydro-meteorological risk by tailoring the set of relevant KPIs. The assessment framework is useful for monitoring the implemented measures and to document their effectiveness. The methodology provides quantitative and transparent documentation of hydro-meteorological risk management processes, useful for decision- and policy-makers, and stakeholders dealing with NBS measures.

Title: Does smart city policy improve corporate green technology innovation? Evidence from Chinese listed companies
Abstract: 
 As a new pattern of urbanization, smart cities offer a set of initiatives to achieve a win-win situation for both environmental protection and economic development. This paper aims to explore the influence of smart city policy (SCP) on green technology innovation (GTI) by Chinese listed enterprises. Employing the difference-in-differences (DID) approach, the results show that SCP promotes enterprises’ GTI. This finding remains valid after various robustness tests, which include the parallel trend test, PSM-DID, placebo test, the substitution of estimation model, replacement of dependent variable, and the exclusion of the impacts of other policies. Additional tests reveal that SCP improves GTI through government environmental subsidy, corporate environmental awareness, and research and development investments. Furthermore, the heterogeneity analysis suggests that our findings are more prominent in subsamples during the growth stage, in high-tech industries, and in eastern regions. Our research is vital to the urban ecological environment and high-quality economic development.

Title: Environmental integrity of forest offsets in a changing climate: embedding future climate in Australia’s sinks policy regime
Abstract: 
 Forest carbon sinks are important to Australia’s climate policy, and recent government and business net zero commitments will likely increase demand for forest carbon offsets. At the same time, forests in parts of the country have suffered from prolonged drought and bushfires, and a growing body of research suggests that future climate change could have significant implications for forest carbon sinks’ permanence. This article draws on expert views to explore how incorporating knowledge on the physical risks from climate change can strengthen the environmental integrity of Australia’s forest sinks policy. It finds challenges to and opportunities for strengthening the science, policy, and practice interfaces for forest carbon in a changing climate, and proposes reforms to strengthen the capacity of forests to be a long-term contributor to Australia’s emission targets and climate adaptation policy. These reforms may have relevance to other countries with vulnerable forests and interests in forest carbon offsets.

Title: External or internal beauty? A study on the mechanism influencing food waste behavior
Abstract: 
 A personal norms intervention strategy is an effective way to reduce food waste behavior. However, the mechanism controlling how personal norms affect food waste behavior needs to be further investigated. In addition, previous studies have reported that weight control is part of this mechanism, but few studies have focused on how internal (personal norms) and external beauty (weight control) act simultaneously on individuals. This study constructed an analytical framework with personal norms as the independent variable, emotions as the mediating variable, and weight control as the moderating variable from a cognitive perspective. A stratified regression approach was used to analyze 835 validated questionnaires on food waste at the consumption level (outside the home) that were collected from across China. The results showed that (1) Chinese consumer personal norms about eating at restaurants and outside the home exacerbated food waste behavior; (2) consumer emotions mediated the effect of personal norms on food waste behavior; and (3) weight control moderated both paths associated with the mediating effect of emotions, and its cubic term had a more significant moderating effect. Policy recommendations are proposed based on the conclusions of this study that will effectively reduce food waste behavior.

Title: Implementing coastal adaptation: assessing and explaining success by local governments in Nova Scotia, Canada
Abstract: 
 As coastal communities increasingly plan for climate change, there is a need to understand factors that influence whether planned actions get implemented. This study examines the implementation of coastal adaptation actions across Nova Scotia, Canada, the first province in the country to establish a regional policy framework to address adaptation by requiring municipalities to prepare Municipal Climate Change Action Plans (MCCAPs). Using the MCCAPs from 20 coastal communities, this study employs a mixed-methods approach that includes content analysis, surveys, and expert interviews to follow up on the actions identified as priorities in these plans. It finds that the MCCAPs successfully stimulated coastal adaptation throughout the province: within six years, nearly 75% of the 331 priority actions in these plans were implemented to some degree. Logistic regression models, supported by interviews with municipal representatives, indicate that political continuity and public participation throughout the planning process are significant determinants of successful implementation.

Title: Exploring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on residential energy consumption: a global literature review
Abstract: 
 The outbreak of COVID-19 made researchers notice some new points and change their focus, such as the economies of scale for residential energy use, energy dependency of societies, etc. This paper provides a bibliometric analysis of 497 articles by VOSviewer, finding that existing studies on building energy use during COVID-19 could be summarized into four keywords, i.e., building occupants, coronavirus, sustainability and monitoring and management. Significant increases in residential energy consumption are found with the increased duration of in-home-activity, while the growth rate varies between different neighborhoods, different times of day and different usage of energy. Attitudes vary toward the changing trend in the post-pandemic period, and the impacts of lockdown, new confirmed cases, social distancing, etc. on residential energy consumption have been given special attention in recent studies. Policy implications are concluded for maintaining normal operation of residential energy systems under the shock of public health emergencies.

Title: How does International Transport Corridor affect regional green development: evidence from the China-Europe Railway Express
Abstract: 
 The operation of the China Railway Express (CRE) provides a quasi-natural experiment to test the impact of the new International Transport Corridor on regional green development. Based on the panel data for 265 prefecture-level cities in China and the China Patent Full-Text Database from 2003 to 2018, this study uses the SBM-DEA model to measure urban green economic efficiency (GEE). Then, we adopt the spatial Difference-in-Difference model to examine the effect of operating the CRE on the regional GEE. Moreover, the impact mechanism of the CRE on GEE is investigated from innovation and energy conservation perspectives. Finally, we consider the impact of the heterogeneity of factor endowments in different cities on green development. We found that operating CRE can improve regional GEE as a new overland trade channel between Europe and Asia. The impact mechanism test shows that promoting regional innovation and reducing urban energy intensity are two effective ways for CRE to improve regional GEE. In addition, in resource-intensive areas and areas with inadequate infrastructure, the marginal effect of CRE on promoting green development is more obvious. The conclusions can provide policy inspiration for countries along the CRE to achieve green economic development by operating CRE.

Title: Bureaucratic competition and provision of public goods and services: the consequences of inter-agency conflict on agricultural land conservation
Abstract: 
 Numerous layers of federal, state, and local agencies are necessary to provide public goods and services in any country. Inter-agency cooperation and coordination are essential to provide these goods and services. However, federal agencies may have conflicting interests; and understanding the consequences of such conflict across agencies is important in designing public policy. I exploit a unique situation created by the Missouri Farm Bureau and Extension Service in the mid-20th century and show how inter-agency conflict may undermine the benefits of public services provided by the federal government. The extension services in Missouri resented the creation of a new institution, conservation districts, to provide technical assistance to the landowners. Using the spatial and temporal variation of this conflict and employing a difference-in-difference strategy with Missouri’s border states, I show that this non-cooperation led to slower growth of conservation districts and a lower amount of land conservation services across the years.

Title: Vegetable and fruit growers’ intention to use biopesticides in India: application of TPB and HBM models
Abstract: 
 In a quest to examine people’s perceptions of biopesticide usage, the current research investigates the influence of the health belief model and theory of planned behavior constructs on farmers’ intentions toward using biopesticides. Furthermore, the study explores the mediation effect of attitude on usage intention. Data were collected from 323 vegetable and fruit growers from seven northern states of India and examined by applying the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique using SmartPLS software. The results reveal that all the factors, except perceived behavioral control, significantly influence farmers’ attitudes and behavioral intention to use biopesticides. Moreover, a mediation analysis reveals a full mediation effect of attitude for health motivation and a partial mediation effect for perceived benefits on behavioral intention. Finally, the proposed research model has substantial explanatory power and helps to examine farmers’ intention to use biopesticides. The government and policymakers may use the current research findings to develop strategies to enhance biopesticide usage.

Title: On the nexus between growth and disaggregated ecological footprints-empirical evidence from India
Abstract: 
 The depletion of natural capital stock due to widespread anthropogenic activities has increased concerns about environmental sustainability. Given this perspective, this study examines the relationship between environmental degradation and economic growth within the framework of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in India. The growth-environment nexus using Autoregressive Distributive Lag is heterogeneous and footprint-specific. We find an inverted N-shaped EKC for cropland, N-shaped EKC for the forest, grazing, water, and built-up land footprints, and a monotonic increasing relationship for the carbon footprint. Projections based on annual per capita GDP show that cropland depletion would end by 2034 once India’s per capita GDP reaches USD 3,010. Besides, our study predicts that grazing land and forest land footprints will start increasing by 2026 and 2027, corresponding to a per capita GDP of USD 2,208 and USD 2,299. Our finding that the growth-environment relationship is time-varying and heterogeneous suggests policymakers and governments devise footprint-specific strategies to address their depletion.

Title: Does the Belt and Road Initiative affect the energy intensity of countries along the route? An analysis of the direct and indirect effects
Abstract: 
 We empirically evaluate the effect of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on the energy intensity of countries along the route. Furthermore, we decompose this overall effect into direct effects via connectivity and indirect effects through development. We apply a relatively new synthetic control method based on interactive fixed effects to identify the causal effects of the BRI. Our main results include: (1) the overall effect of the BRI reduces the energy intensity of countries along the route by 0.0152 toes per thousand dollars, of which the direct effect is 0.0125 (82%); (2) the indirect effect in the current status is limited, mainly through the contradictory effects of economic growth and industrial structural change; and (3) countries along the route with a lower level of development, higher levels of energy technology, more abundant energy endowments, and less stringent carbon regulations experience a greater reduction in energy intensity after the BRI.

Title: What role for environmental cooperatives in collective agri-environmental schemes?
Abstract: 
 The collective action dilemma inherent to environmental quality problems implies that agri-environmental contracts are best managed collectively. Such collective contracts need to be coordinated, a complex process that in some countries is chaperoned through an associative structure. This research assesses the potential of environmental cooperatives (EC) for the governance of collective agri-environmental contracts. The context in which ECs historically emerged is presented, followed by an analysis across case studies of the factors that can facilitate the role of ECs. These factors are compared to a recent case study on a newly emerged French EC, for which a series of interviews are analysed. This investigation highlights that the role of the EC is above all a facilitating one, mediating between the different interest groups by ensuring three important contract criteria: (1) place-based targets and locally specific measures, (2) a participatory process to contract design, (3) flexibility in the measure’s adaptation.

Title: Hierarchical interventions and environmental collaboration among municipal governments: a bottom-up analysis
Abstract: 
 Collaboration has been recognized as an effective approach to govern public affairs and there has been considerable debate about the impact of the shadow of hierarchy on interlocal collaboration. However, few studies have examined the bottom-up influences of interlocal collaboration characteristics on hierarchical interventions. This research gap limits our understanding of the interaction between collaboration and hierarchy. To bridge the gap, this article discusses the antecedents of the selective intervention of higher-level governments by exploring the case of environmental collaboration in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. We find that the number of participants, the initiators of collaboration, and the level of formalization are the key factors influencing the strategic choices of hierarchical interventions. Further, establishing formal mechanisms in multi-actor and cross-provincial collaborations can partially alleviate the dependence of local governments on higher levels. This study facilitates a deeper understanding of the theory and practice of interlocal collaborations.

Title: Adaptive co-management and hydroclimatic change: examining the voluntary flow management program in the Upper Arkansas River Basin, Colorado
Abstract: 
 Adaptive co-management (ACM) has been advanced as a climate change adaptation strategy because of its social learning and collaboration dynamics. But it remains unclear whether ACM facilitates climate change adaptation in practice. Because rivers have been important laboratories for ACM efforts and research, this study examines a 30-year-old flow program on the Upper Arkansas River in Colorado (USA) to learn (a) how it is being impacted by climate change and (b) how participants are responding. The program has been largely successful in achieving its ecological and recreational flow goals, but it is being challenged by two hydroclimatic changes: earlier spring runoff and reduced stream flows. The program’s ACM dynamics are enabling adaptations that include efforts to communicate more proactively (social learning) and to compromise over the use of constrained flows (collaboration). We discuss these adaptations and pose additional questions about the future of the voluntary flow management program.

Title: Evaluation of sustainable development indicators of nature-based tourism in developed and developing countries
Abstract: 
 Understanding the approach of developed countries to the sustainable development of nature-based tourism (NBT) can be a model for developing countries. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the differences of opinion from different aspects. This study aimed to highlight the differences between the attitudes of experts in developing and developed countries on sustainable development indicators of NBT.‏ ‏Given that no such comparison has been made so far, this study intends to address this gap. Indicators were identified from three aspects: economic, social, and environmental, and they were approved through the use of the Delphi approach. The mean scores were determined based on a 7-point Likert scale and compared using an independent t-test. In developing countries, economic indicators (Mean = 5.779) and in developed countries, environmental indicators (Mean = 6.296) were the most crucial. Paying more attention to environmental indicators in developing countries can be an excellent way to improve the sustainable development of NBT.

Title: Local factors driving the adoption of municipal voluntary environmental programs: the case of Sweden’s eco-municipalities
Abstract: 
 In the past few decades voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) have gained traction as a tool to promote environmental performance beyond regulatory requirements. However, such programs have been largely studied in the context of the private sector with comparatively less consideration given to the possibility that local governments can also join such programs to improve both their reputation and environmental performance. We consider Sweden’s Eco-municipality association as an instance of a public sector VEP and find that, even after accounting for spatial dependence; environmental consciousness, municipality type, the level of education, industry structure and environmental vulnerability (as proxied by proximity to the coast) are significant determinants of the municipality’s decision to participate in the program.

Title: Green productivity growth and convergence in Chinese agriculture
Abstract: 
 It has become a new trend for the future development of Chinese agriculture to accelerate the transformation from increasing production to improving quality and realizing green growth. This paper uses the sequential DEA to measure the agricultural green total factor productivity (GTFP) of 306 Chinese cities from 1996 to 2017, then tests its convergence. The results show that the average growth rate of Chinese agricultural GTFP is 0.58%; the main driving force coming from technical progress. The convergence of agricultural GTFP has dual characteristics of stages and regions, and the significant σ convergence only exists in the central region during 1996–2003. There is significant β convergence at the national level, in the eastern and central regions, and neither convergence nor divergence in the western region. However, during 2004–2017, only the eastern region had β convergence. Finally, the conditional convergence speed is higher than the absolute convergence, and the eastern region is higher than the central.

Title: Cultural ecosystem services along the Woluwe River: mapping the potential for a cross-regional green-blue network during the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract: 
 The cultural and social benefits of green open spaces (GOSs) are frequently disregarded in environmental planning and policy. The online PPGIS tool, mygreenplace.be, was used to map the cultural ecosystem services (CES) in the GOSs along the Woluwe River. This research aims to clarify the role of CES, spatial qualities and travel distance in GOSs’ valuation and their respective environmental planning and management. The analysis revealed that highly valued GOSs (CES hot spots) offer a diverse combination of CES, mainly activities related to playing and exercising, gathering and consuming. Likewise, these popular, highly valued GOSs provide various facilities enabling these activities (e.g. restaurants, water elements and transportation). Although travel distance proved quintessential for using GOSs, other factors, such as their qualities and attributes, can determine whether, and how frequently, respondents use a particular GOS. Finally, the data showed that the COVID-19 pandemic has positively influenced the use of and appreciation for GOSs.

Title: Spatio-temporal evolution and driving factors of waste disposal facilities in China
Abstract: 
 This study attempts to explore the evolution process and driving factors of waste disposal facilities in China by employing a unique dataset that combines municipal-level data on socioeconomic characteristics with establishment-level information on waste disposal facilities over the years 2003–2020. This research reveals a noticeable transformation in the structure of waste disposal facilities in China, with rapid declines in landfill sites and steady increases in incineration plants and composting plants. Meanwhile, the distribution of waste disposal facilities exhibits an apparent spatial imbalance across regions. Specifically, landfill sites are primarily clustered in the central regions; incineration plants are concentrated in eastern areas; and composting plants are scattered and widely distributed. The results of the dynamic spatial Durbin model further indicate that consumption level and land area are the two main driving factors of the increase in the total number of waste disposal facilities and that of three different types of facilities; for each 1% increase in the two factors, the total number of waste disposal facilities will increase by 0.4551 and 0.1329 units respectively. However, waste generation, population density, land price, industrial structure and policy instruments have rather heterogeneous effects on waste disposal facilities and their different types. This study can provide guidelines for optimizing the distribution pattern of waste disposal facilities to mitigate against the unbalanced and inadequate development of waste disposal facilities in China and other developing countries with similar situations.

Title: Exploring farmers’ perspectives on collective action: a case study on co-operation in Dutch agri-environment schemes
Abstract: 
 To improve the ecological effectiveness of agri-environment-climate measures (AECM), collective approaches to co-ordinate AECM beyond the farm level have emerged, which are characterised by different levels of co-operation between individual farmers. As participation is voluntary, understanding farmers’ perspectives on collective action in the context of these economic incentive instruments is crucial to improve existing or design novel approaches. We conducted a Q study on farmers’ viewpoints on collective AECM in the Netherlands, where all AECM have to be realised jointly since 2016. Our results reveal three dominant views on collective AECM: a collective-oriented, a business-oriented and an environment-oriented perspective. Clear preferences for the collective approach show that even in cultures with strong values of independence joint action is possible, as farmers’ autonomy can be strengthened through co-operation. Considering different perspectives on collective approaches within the institutional design can help to develop more targeted, and thus successful, incentives.

Title: Analysis of CO2 emission performance of China’s thermal power industry: a meta-frontier Malmquist-Luenberger approach with fixed-sum CO2 emissions
Abstract: 
 This study combines the general equilibrium efficient frontier data envelopment analysis (GEEFDEA) approach, which handles fixed-sum CO2 emissions, with the meta-frontier Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index (MMLPI). We use this novel technique to measure the CO2 emission performance (CEP) of 30 of China’s provincial-level thermal power industries during 2006–2020, both statically and dynamically, and reveal the drivers of CEP changes. Our proposed approach considers the fixed-sum feature of CO2 emissions and also captures the impact of technology heterogeneity. The empirical results show that the CEP of China’s thermal power industry was good during the sample period, showing average annual increases of 2.42%, mainly due to technical efficiency gains and technological progress. The CEP of most provinces grew at various rates, between 0.23% and 8.38%; and the drivers of CEP changes differ between provinces. Policy implications are discussed, such as the need to strengthen technology innovation and optimize production processes to improve CEP.

Title: Mitigating compound coastal water hazards in Eastern North Carolina
Abstract: 
 Eastern North Carolina (ENC), a predominantly rural region, experiences the intersection of fluvial, pluvial, and tidal flooding, which leads to complex and impactful outcomes. Managing these, often compounding, hazards is challenging, especially as climate change drivers, such as sea-level rise and more intense storms will likely lead to a greater incidence of compound coastal water events (CCWE). Using data from focus group interviews conducted with 41 planners and emergency managers, we examine the mitigation approaches pursued by rural counties in ENC located along the coast and those adjacent to it that share estuarine environments or linked riverine systems. Findings show that communities seek funding to clear streams and channels, to implement buyouts and elevation projects and for infrastructure maintenance. Communities also undertake floodplain management to minimize flood exposure while facing several barriers to adequate mitigation.

Title: The role of rice farmers’ attitude and trust in government in decision-making for participating in a climate-related agri-environmental scheme
Abstract: 
 Excessive use of synthetic fertilizer has been proven to be an important cause of greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution in many Asian countries. This article aims to provide a better understanding of rice farmers’ preferences for a chemical fertilizer reduction scheme (CFRS) by integrating economic and psychometric factors. A survey of 292 farmers was conducted in Taiwan. The results show that farmers using more chemical fertilizers have a negative attitude towards implementing SAP and less trust in government and would prefer a higher entry payment over an eco-label. On the other hand, farmers using less chemical fertilizer prefer to receive an eco-label rather than incentive payments. Our findings indicate that an eco-label and higher entry payment could overcome the psychological factors that hinder farmers’ engagement. This study provides policymakers with insights into farmers’ decision-making, which could lead to chemical fertilizer reduction, thereby mitigating climate change.

Title: Consumers’ perception of green brand attributes and its outcomes: a sustainable perspective
Abstract: 
 The resurgence of green marketing engrossed the phenomenon of greenwashing, misleading and deceiving consumers with false claims about the firms’ environmental practices. Drawing on attribution theory, this study examines the direct relationship between perceived greenwashing (PGW) and brand credibility (BC) and indirect relationship through green skepticism (GSP). The study also examines the moderating effect of environmental concern (EC) based on contingency theory in both direct and indirect relationships. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires from consumers and 508 usable responses were analyzed. The study’s hypotheses were tested using PROCESS macro for SPSS. The results show that PGW is negatively related to BC both directly and indirectly via GSP, whereas EC moderated, directly and indirectly, the relationships between PGW and BC, suggesting that the relationship between PGW and BC is fostered when EC is high. This study helps managers to understand how overstated/deceptive green claims may lead to destructive consequences for the company.

Title: Storytelling to save the planet: who gets to say what is sustainable, who tells the stories, and who should listen and change?
Abstract: 
 In the last decade, storytelling has been popularised as a method for societal sustainability transformations. With this growing popularity, there has also been a rapid increase in those identifying as storytellers. Perhaps because storytelling for sustainability has an innocent ring to it, it has not yet been studied from a power perspective. However, as it is fast-spreading and has explicit change purposes, it is important to clarify assumptions about knowledge, power and change. This article offers a first step towards understanding and evaluating the wide variety of applications behind the label of storytelling for sustainability. We perform a frame analysis of how storytellers describe their storytelling for sustainability. Our findings demonstrate that the label of storytelling for sustainability encompasses fundamentally different ideas about whose knowledge counts. The article raises critical questions that can help assess the legitimacy and appropriateness of different applications of storytelling for sustainability.

Title: Representations of wildfires in academia
Abstract: 
 In response to intensifying wildfire seasons, scholars call for new wildfire policy and management approaches. Based on the assumption that science, policy, and management are integrated spheres of meaning-making, this article aims to contribute to reflective and creative research conversations about fire policy and management by directing analytical attention to the role of science. Using Causal Layered Analysis, we unpack scientific representations of three wildfire events/seasons in Sweden, the US, and Australia. The analysis illustrates that scientific representations of wildfires are contextual and promote particular policy recommendations and management interventions. Furthermore, the review identifies a discrepancy between dominant, more simplistic representations and the dynamic and complex representation emerging from an interdisciplinary reading of the literature. To address this discrepancy, we argue that there is a need to continuously renegotiate the boundaries of wildfires through rethinking the process underpinning the scientific representations to account for the complexity inherent in wildfire events.

Title: When hope messages become the discursive norm: how repertoires of hope shape communicative capacity in conversations on the circular economy
Abstract: 
 Environmental communication research often conceptualises hope as an internal state of mind, suggesting that messages focused on hope can be used in strategic communication to foster environmental engagement. In this paper, we critique this individualising approach and instead explore hope discourse as an emergent social phenomenon, focusing on how it is constructed and managed in inspirational meetings about the circular economy. Using critical discursive psychology as a methodology, we identify three interpretative repertoires through which hope is constructed: stronger together, change for real, silver lining. We explore what is accomplished by their use, and discuss the social implications within the meetings and beyond. The repertoires facilitate a positive meeting experience and solidarity amongst participants. However, hope discourse also relies on abstraction which prohibits disagreement, critique, and talk about concrete actions.

Title: How justice shapes transition governance – a discourse analysis of Swedish policy debates
Abstract: 
 In both policy-making and academia, the realisation is growing that transitions striving for sustainability have to be just to be socially accepted. This insight has given rise to institutionalised approaches to a “just transition” – but also beyond these, justice is a key challenge in the governance of sustainability transitions. In this paper, we examine how justice arguments are being used in national-level discourses of transition governance in Sweden. Analysing 121 policy-related documents from 2019 to 2021, we found that justice was discursively treated in a way that essentially stifled change. Political actors attempted to trump each other’s justice claims rather than to genuinely engage with them. Justice concerns that would not serve re-election, such as solidarity across social boundaries, were almost absent from the material. Based on these findings, we critically explore how justice arguments contribute to politicizing transition governance in particular ways, rendering some policy options impossible.

Title: The quest for “nature” in selfies: how platforms shape nature/society relationships
Abstract: 
 Social media and other platforms have become an essential part of outdoor activities as they influence how nature is experienced and engaged with, but also what good nature is seen as. In this article, we explore how social understandings of nature and digital technologies are mutually performed. Using the empirical case of nature selfies—an archetype of imagery on social media platforms—posted on Instagram, Facebook, and Tripadvisor, and a small participatory “breaching experiment” aimed at collecting “ugly nature selfies,” we analyse and interrogate nature/society relationships displayed online within the platform contexts of attention economy and affordances. We conclude that nature selfies reinforce the desirability of consuming “beautiful” nature, while attention economy and platform affordances limit the possibilities for alternative nature/society relationships to be developed and promoted.

Title: Adapting climate change – how government authorities in Sweden make sense of adaptation through a network practice
Abstract: 
 Calls for transformational adaptation are increasing. Government authorities, expected to lead adaptation, are in the difficult situation of changing a governance system from within. This demands a capacity for critical reflection among civil servants involved. Adopting a Social Practice Theory approach, we argue this capacity must be understood as emerging in practice, not simply held by individuals. Empirically, we focus on a central network of government authorities in Sweden’s adaptation governance, and identify assumptions and routines guiding their meaning making process. We focus on how situations of contestation are dealt with to explore the practice’s capacity to facilitate critical reflection. We show how a focus on efficient information transmission and an assumption of incremental adaptation as sufficient leads their practice to play down the consequences of the climate crisis. A practice approach suggests interventions to the group level in order to create joint critical reflection, necessary for enabling transformational adaptation.

Title: “Got to get ourselves back to the garden”: Sustainability transformations and the power of positive environmental communication
Abstract: 
 As places that disrupt “business as usual,” community food gardens carry the potential to experientially, critically, and restoratively recenter food systems and interconnected sustainability knowledges. Using interdisciplinary theory and practice-based observation, we zero in on the environmental planning and management space of the university campus to interpret how food gardens may not only materially change the campus landscape at a grassroots level but also act as constitutive forms of positive environmental communication. In doing so, food gardens may help realign the environmental premises of the university. At a time when universities have pressing leadership roles in rethinking the ecocultural, political, and economic dimensions of sustainable transformations of life as a whole, we illustrate how the creation of food gardens on all campuses might meaningfully and relationally reconnect university communities with the land where they work, learn, and teach, and, in the process, experientially promote ecocentric identities and empower change-making.

Title: Between authority and argumentation: facilitators’ use of power in collaborative governance
Abstract: 
 Facilitators of collaborative governance structure communication between stakeholders. They influence the process and, in some instances, also the outcome of collaborative governance. Even so, facilitators are, in the literature and in practice, most often reduced to being neutral or seen merely as power sharers. This reductive understanding obscures facilititators’ use of power. The purpose of this paper is to outline a nuanced understanding of authority in facilitation practice. We analyse a Swedish collaborative governance process where a governmental agency facilitates collaboration between actors with conflicting interests. We combine the work of Hannah Arendt and Mark Warren to study authority as relationally performed. We find that facilitators’ use of power takes the form of a pendulum movement between authority and argumentation. Hence, authority and argumentation are linked, rather than incompatible, in facilitation practice. This paper sheds new light on the unrecognised, and yet influential, leadership role that facilitators play.

Title: The Trinity of Voice: a framework to improve trust and ground decision making in participatory processes
Abstract: 
 Collaborative processes are increasingly required, familiar, and expected but desire and enthusiasm do not produce competency or confidence, leading to frustration, hesitancy, distrust on all sides, and continued calls for “voice.” Initially introduced to the environmental communication community in 2004, Senecah’s Trinity of Voice is a practical framework based on small group dynamics scaled to community level. Its environmental communication dimensions of Access, Civic Standing, and Influence optimize the potential for trust-rich relationships that are key for effective collaborative processes but are difficult to build and sustain, especially in situations that are complex and/or pulsing with contentiousness. At the 20-year mark, this article revisits the TOV against the contemporary literature on trust; reviews critiques and diverse applications of it; and assesses whether it still offers practical value for designing, diagnosing, and improving collaborative processes to address environmental planning and management situations.

Title: Meaning-making in the practice of collaboration: how implicit normative structures guide collaborative processes around contested natural resource issues
Abstract: 
 Although communication is considered crucial for collaboration in natural resource management (NRM), its role has so far been superficially studied. In this paper, we present a way to investigate this communication by focusing on its implicit aspects. We observed and examined communication in three processes that aimed to find solutions to predator-reindeer problems through collaboration between reindeer herders and wildlife authorities in northern Sweden. Despite the three processes sharing the same external and internal conditions, they developed in completely different directions. We explain this by considering each process as a social practice and identifying the character of the normative structures guiding its members’ sense-making and action. We show how the structures emerged, were reproduced and affected the course of events and outcomes of each process. We conclude that recognising the significance of the implicit aspects of communication offers novel opportunities to better understand collaboration in NRM.

Title: Exploring co-creation labs: creative convergence at work
Abstract: 
 This paper reports on research into co-creation labs as a tool for exploring environmental communication. Co-creation labs are novel spaces for experimentation, social learning, and trans-disciplinary as well as cross-sectoral collaboration for sustainability transformations. This paper examines the approach taken by researchers to theorising, via a repurposing of the 2×2 scenario matrix, a series of “labs” that represent diverse spaces in which to explore co-creative convergence through transformative learning processes. In addition, examples from work done to date are offered to illustrate progress in implementing these labs and testing the strengths and weaknesses of these co-creative spaces.

Title: The Powerpoint Imagination: visualization and managerial vocabularies in sustainability reports
Abstract: 
 Sustainability reporting has been established as a dominant but problematic communication practice in global sustainability management. In this paper, we challenge the commonplace view of reporting as the simple and textual transmission of information, by interpreting corporate sustainability reports as visual artefacts that encourage particular views of environmental issues. We discuss visualization as a key practice in communication and rhetoric, asking what visual managerialism looks like in corporate reports, focusing on a corpus drawn from the Swedish United Nations Global Compact. We engage in a three-stage rhetorical critique to identify three kinds of visualizations: numerical, diagrammatic, and pictorial, establishing how they emphasize communicative characteristics such as logic, simplicity, and clarity. We consolidate these characteristics with the term ‘Powerpoint Imagination,’ arguing that they construct environmental problems in terms of a technocratic solutionism, i.e., efficiency, standardization and control. We discuss some issues with the Powerpoint Imagination by contrasting it with other images from sustainability reports, concluding with implications for future research.

Title: How research on communication can help to understand the management of natural resources and sustainability transformations: practices, concerns and new perspectives on environmental communication
Abstract: 
 Communication is an integral part of natural resource management and sustainability transformations, and questions on how communication helps or hinders the development of more sustainable relationships between people and their environments have become increasingly urgent. This special issue directs our attention to the processes and outcomes of such communication and explores what a focus on communication makes visible and accessible for practical as well as academic analysis. The twelve articles collected in this issue examine a wide range of contexts and practices of environmental communication, here understood as the joint construction of meaning related to environmental and sustainability issues. In this editorial, we propose five conceptual lenses that, as we argue, are crucial for an in-depth engagement with environmental communication. Together, these provide us with an understanding of communication as arising from manifold interactions that are shaped by and shaping disagreement, power relations and, more generally, the interplay between structure and agency. We examine the contributions to this special issue in light of these conceptual lenses and highlight how the twelve articles help us to understand the role of meaning-making in environmental management and sustainability transformations. We conclude with suggestions for future work, identifying spaces for further conceptual development and empirical scrutiny as well as scope for new ideas on environmental communication to gain in importance and influence.

Title: How does corporate internationalization affect the link between social responsibility and financial performance? Evidence from China
Abstract: 
 Using evidence from 667 Chinese enterprises over the period 2013 to 2018, this study examines whether corporate internationalization improves the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on corporate financial performance (CFP). Specifically, we define CSR along the dimensions of shareholder, employee, supply chain, environment and society. The change in the relationship between CSR and CFP in the context of internationalization was studied systematically using regression analysis. The study’s results indicate that corporate internationalization exercises a significant and negative moderating effect on the relationship between shareholder-oriented CSR and CFP across the whole sample. In addition, corporate internationalization significantly moderates the relationship between different dimensions of CSR and CFP when the sample is further divided into labor-intensive, capital-intensive and technology-intensive enterprises; and that such moderating impacts vary across the three subsets of enterprises. The findings can suggest to managers in different industries which dimensions of CSR activities are likely to improve CFP in the context of corporate internationalization.

Title: Green human resources management, green innovation and circular economy performance: the role of big data analytics and data-driven culture
Abstract: 
 This study aimed to illustrate the impact of green human resources management on circular economy performance; the mediator role of green innovation; and the moderator roles of big data analytics and data-driven culture. A total of 438 survey questionnaires were collected from small and medium-sized enterprises from the Pakistani textile sector and evaluated through partial least square-structural equation modelling. The study’s outcomes revealed that green human resources management significantly impacts circular economy performance. Similarly, green innovation and big data analytics mediated and moderated between green human resources management and circular economy performance. Nevertheless, data-driven culture is needed to moderate between green human resources management and circular economy performance. The study presented a unique and novel idea of green human resources management concerning circular economy performance – the best solution for sustainable environmental fortification in the current decade while enhancing circular economy performance.

Title: Does urban low-carbon governance affect firms’ business decisions for employing capital and labor?
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the impact of urban low-carbon governance on firms’ capital-labor ratio. By treating China’s low-carbon city pilot (LCCP) policy as an urban low-carbon governance instrument, we apply a difference-in-differences method (DID) and find that the LCCP program significantly reduces firms’ capital-labor ratio, but the effect only manifests in state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The mechanism result demonstrates that to intensify urban low-carbon governance, local governments adjusted fiscal expenditure structure, resulting in SOEs employing less capital and more labor. This may be a business strategy adopted by SOEs to avoid environmental regulations, as we find that urban low-carbon governance significantly improves green technology innovation in non-SOEs, but not in SOEs.

Title: Which knowledge counts? Contested meanings of water quality, responsibility and involvement in river restoration discourse in Indonesia
Abstract: 
 Since 2001, the Indonesian government has formulated and implemented several restoration programs to improve the Citarum’s water quality. However, these programs were often contested, particularly concerning the meanings of ‘water quality’ and how those informed approaches to responsibility and involvement. This paper problematises river restoration in view of these controversies towards improving people’s lives and their environment. Our investigation found (1) a selective use of scientific knowledge of water quality and related responsibilities; (2) a tension between broader inclusion and military involvement in river restoration; and (3) a diverse host of informal restoration practices that largely remain unnoticed in view of the government programs. The findings indicate that river governance can benefit from recognising and tuning into below-the-radar restoration practices to tackle river pollution.

Title: Read all about it: examining newspaper coverage of the local environmental risks posed by the Radford Army Ammunition Plant
Abstract: 
 This study examines the factors contributing to the inclusion of scientific information in local news coverage of environmental risks. We conducted a content analysis of articles about environmental issues associated with the Radford Army Ammunition Plant, Virginia’s largest point source of toxic chemical releases. We coded 116 articles published between 2000 and 2019 according to three criteria: the inclusion of scientific information, who is making claims, and whether or not explicit risks are identified. Only 35.3% of the articles reviewed include scientific information. Logistic regression indicates that when an article includes claims made by state officials and/or explicitly asserts the existence of environmental risks, it is more likely to include scientific information. Articles that include claims from community activists are less likely to include scientific information. We examine potential explanations for these patterns.

Title: Impact of environmental regulations on eco-innovation: the moderating role of top managers’ environmental awareness and commitment
Abstract: 
 Traditional research has suggested that external environmental regulations and internal executive attitude are important factors. However, no in-depth study has yet to be conducted on the interaction between internal and external factors. This study constructs a model of the relationship between the different driving factors of eco-innovation from internal and external perspectives. By analyzing survey data covering 214 enterprises, this study explores the impact of environmental regulations on eco-innovation and further analyzes the moderating effect of the environmental awareness and commitment of top managers. Results show that, first, formal and informal environmental regulations and the environmental awareness and commitment of top managers have significant positive effects on eco-innovation. Second, the environmental awareness of top managers has no significant moderating effect on the relationship between environmental regulations and eco-innovation. Third, the environmental commitment of top managers has a significant positive moderating effect on the relationship between formal environmental regulations and eco-innovation. However, such environmental commitment has no significant moderating effect on the relationship between informal environmental regulations and eco-innovation. Finally, based on the empirical results, this study provides relevant managerial implications and policy suggestions.

Title: Does green human resources management (GHRM) promote employee environmental performance? A multilevel time-lagged study from Mongolia
Abstract: 
 With the increased attention to green-related issues, companies started implementing environmentally-focused business management. Achieving environmentally sustainable development requires the joint participation of all members of an organization, thus, this study intends to explore the factors that affect employees’ environmental performance. We examined green human resources management’s (GHRM) impact on employees’ environmental performance with a cross-level analysis of team leaders and team members by adding green climate and green innovation behavior. Also, we proposed that employees’ environmental awareness can strengthen GHRM’s impact on green innovation behavior, thus moderating the relationship of the variables. We recruited 66 team leaders and 397 team members from four Mongolian telecommunication service companies to study the proposed hypotheses. We found that (1) GHRM positively impacted employees’ environmental performance. (2) Sequential mediation supported the mediating effect of green climate and green innovation behavior. (3) Employees’ environmental awareness moderated the GHRM and green innovation behavior relationship. The findings provide empirical support for the ability, motivation and opportunity (AMO) theory and highlight the importance of GHRM in employees’ behaviors in the workplace.

Title: Surveillance of public risk perceptions on outdoor air pollution: evidence from online search behaviours in China
Abstract: 
 Severe outdoor air pollution in China has long constituted a threat to public health and environmental governance efficiency. Surveillance of online search behaviours that reflect real-time public risk perception and behavioural responses on environmental issues is essential in improving environmental governance. However, owing to the absence of an appropriate analytical framework, quantitative evidence of analysing online data is scarce in the extant research. To address this research gap, we analysed Baidu search indexes (BSI) keywords relevant to the public risk perception and behavioural responses on outdoor air pollution by a surveillance framework consisting of two parallel steps (prediction and monitoring). The proposed framework may improve environmental risk governance efficiency and benefit environmental risk governance policy decision-making through considering real-time public risk perceptions and behavioural response information. Using online search behaviour data, this study adds to the methodology for improving the efficacy of environmental social risk governance.

Title: Environmental effects of smart city investment: evidence from China
Abstract: 
 Understanding how smart city investment influences the environment has valuable implications for increasing the environmental performance of smart cities. This study adopted spatial econometric models to explore the environmental impacts of smart city investments using data from 100 smart cities in China for the period 2014–2019. Smart city investment includes investment in information and communication technologies (ICT) and human capital. Environmental performance was measured in terms of air quality, green space and energy consumption. The results reveal that smart city investment can produce spatial spillover effects and that the environmental quality of cities is spatially correlated. ICT reduces air quality but increases green space and electricity consumption. In addition, human capital contributes to electricity conservation but does not influence air quality and green space. The impacts of smart city investments on the environment vary according to economic development level. Moreover, policy implications for the implementation of smart city investments that increase environmental performance are proposed.

Title: Blue justice through and beyond equity and participation: a critical reading of capability-based recognitional justice in Poland’s marine spatial planning
Abstract: 
 While blue justice has gained traction, recognition and capability, which are necessary conditions for procedural and distributive justice, remain under-developed. We develop a four-dimensional blue justice framework that builds on recognition and capabilities to critically examine and advance justice in Poland’s marine spatial planning (MSP). We find that misrecognition of differential identities and capacities scripted powerless stakeholders out of participation and reduced possibilities for fair distribution. Conversely, MSP regulation augmented the rights of powerful actors through granting de jure “objecting” rights to some, inviting only strategic sectors to agenda-setting fora and, limiting MSP communication to meeting legal requirements. Several stakeholders also see defence and wind energy as key winners of MSP. While society will benefit from national security and energy sufficiency, especially given Russia’s increased weaponization of energy, many believe that financial profits from wind energy will accrue to developers. We offer governmental and planning measures to enhance capabilities.

Title: Analysis of the association between image resolution and landscape metrics using multi-sensor LULC maps
Abstract: 
 This study aims to investigate the changes in landscape metrics with varying spatial resolution from Sentinel-2 (10 m), SPOT 7 (1.5 m), Pleaides (0.5 m), and Worldview-4 (0.3 m) images. We implemented Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) techniques to all images to identify 21 land use and land cover (LULC) classes, which were then used to calculate several landscape metrics. We performed the Welch hypothesis testing on the class-level landscape metrics and applied Standardized Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with the correlation matrix to reveal the multivariate pattern of landscape metrics. Our results showed that 10 m and even the 1.5 m spatial resolutions cannot guarantee the identification of all LULC classes, and class areas change with varying spatial resolution (sometimes with 200% differences). Sentinel-2 images have some limitations, specifically from the landscape ecological planning perspective; on the other hand, Pleaides and Worldview-4 seem good alternatives to understand habitats’ viability and landscape isolation/connectivity.

Title: Regional-scale non-market benefits of improved lakes and rivers when perceived and monitored ecological status diverge
Abstract: 
 There is increased call to demonstrate the benefits of EU Member States’ river basin management plans, whose implementation has been delayed largely due to insufficient funding. This paper applies a contingent valuation study to investigate the benefit value of improved ecological status in river basins and the discrepancy between the quality of waters as perceived by river basin residents and as monitored under the Water Framework Directive. Respondents often reported worse quality for their focal water body than the monitored status indicated, a tendency established in a GIS analysis. The likelihood of such divergence increased most with degree of perceived deterioration of surface waters. Observed deterioration in waters, official status of one’s focal water body and divergence between two quality measures had implications for welfare estimates. Describing water quality according to ecological criteria and as uniformly as possible would facilitate the use of valuation results in future benefit transfers.

Title: The impact of biomass consumption on US food prices
Abstract: 
 The Energy Policy Act of 2005 increased the amount of biofuels that must be mixed with commercial gasoline sold in the US to 7.5 billion gallons by 2012. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 further increased this requirement to 36 billion gallons by 2022. These large increases in the production and consumption of biofuels may compel farmers to divert significant quantities of land away from food and feed crops, which, in turn, may lead to a rise in crop prices, feed prices, and hence, overall food prices. Employing structural vector autoregression (SVAR) models and monthly US data for the period 1974:01 to 2019:12, this paper examines the impact of biomass consumption on food prices. We find that since the passing of these two acts, surges in biomass consumption are associated with food price increases in several categories, namely, fruits, beverages, food away from home as well as meat and poultry.

Title: Goals à la carte: selective translation of the Sustainable Development Goals in strategic municipal planning in Norway
Abstract: 
 The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are promoted as a global action plan for transformational change. Through calls to localise the global agenda, local governments have been made key actors in implementing the agenda. In Norway, the government ascribes municipalities a formal role in the national effort to implement the SDGs. Drawing on the concept of policy translation, we explore localisation processes at the strategic level of planning in Norwegian municipalities. Through analysis of municipal master plans and interviews with planners, we find that municipalities use a selective approach, prioritising goals that largely support existing policies, while more challenging goals become lost in translation. We argue that while the Norwegian planning system provides an institutional framework for implementing and following up on the SDGs, new rounds of translation will be needed to also handle difficult goals, if the SDGs are to create actual and much-needed policy change.

Title: An exploratory study on the life recovery experiences of flood affected farmers in South Punjab-Pakistan
Abstract: 
 We conducted this qualitative study to explore the life recovery experiences of farmers in one of the worst flood-hit districts of Pakistan. Data were gathered in August 2020, ten years after the disastrous 2010 floods, which hit a significant population of the country. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted to document the subjective evaluation of the study participants with regard to restoration and readjustment of routine social life, work and livelihoods. Specifically, we asked the farmers to share their life recovery experiences by recalling the factors that helped and hindered their recovery process. Thematic analysis uncovered that personal resilience, belief system, bonding social capital, formal aid and previous flood experience were the major factors that contributed positively to the farmers’ life recovery. Political patronization and perceived unfairness in distribution of disaster aid were major factors that hindered the pace of their life recovery. In general, the findings of the study indicate that positive life recovery feelings of flood affected farmers are associated with resilience/vulnerabilities at individual and community level. Flood affected famers’ life recovery experiences are shaped by trade-offs between social vulnerabilities and resilience.

 Forecasting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is necessary to estimate their climate impact and the required mitigation efforts. However, existing scenario frameworks are not consistent and limit the comparability of projection studies. In this study, the “Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence and Technology” model was combined with the shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Model forecasts were calculated for each SSP from 2020 to 2060 in Qinghai Province, an underdeveloped, carbon-sink-rich region in China. Total CO2 emissions in Qinghai Province consistently exhibited an upward then downward trend, with large differences between SSPs in the peak date and maximum value of total CO2 emissions. Considering the current socioeconomic development status and total carbon emission trends in Qinghai Province, SSP1 and SSP2 were the most suitable pathways, providing balance between carbon emissions reduction and population well-being.

Title: The impact of energy poverty on the aggregate and disaggregate material footprints in BRICS
Abstract: 
 This study aims to examine the impact of energy poverty on the aggregate and disaggregate material footprint components such as biomass, fossil fuel, metal ores and non-metallic minerals while considering the economic growth and tourism development during 2000–2014 for the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). By applying econometric tools, the study confirms a positive and significant impact of energy poverty on aggregate material footprint and its components. The same finding has been reached for tourism development. Moreover, this study finds a U-shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for all indicators used for material footprints. Based on the findings, this study proposes a set of policies for energy poverty alleviation to attain a sustainable environment and inclusive economic growth in the BRICS region.

Title: Perceptions and practice in Natural Flood Management: unpacking differences in community and practitioner perspectives
Abstract: 
 Divergent community and practitioner perceptions of Natural Flood Management (NFM) may impact wide-scale uptake, but are under-researched, especially in peri-urban environments. This mixed-methods study used picture- and scenario-based exercises, interviews and envisioning workshops in a post-industrial, peri-urban area of Greater Manchester, UK. Key differences were unpacked, with community members showing less confidence in NFM, and more confidence in grey infrastructure than professionals. Community confidence in installed NFM measures was, however, higher following a major storm event. Analysis suggests the value of demonstrating how NFM reduces flood risk, together with other co-benefits, through early engagement plus interpretation in the landscape. Uncertainty around effectiveness can be addressed using a learning-through-doing approach, enabled through field observation by community members. There is potential to engage more effectively around multifunctional benefits, framing NFM as green infrastructure that enhances biodiversity and recreation from the start. These findings hold significance for increasing uptake of NFM worldwide

Title: How does technological innovation drive green growth in China’s complex environments? A configurational approach
Abstract: 
 This article employs asymmetric configuration theory and methods to investigate how technological innovation drives regional green growth in China’s complex environment. Specifically, the pooled QCA method is employed to identify multiple driving paths for technological innovation-driven regional green growth. Three configurations for high green growth have been identified: (1) a configuration with high IRD (internal R&D), non-high GS (government support), non-high TM (technology market), and non-high ER (environmental regulation) as core conditions; (2) a configuration with high IRD, non-high NRD (non-R&D) and non-high ER as core conditions complemented by high TM; and (3) a configuration with high levels of IRD, ERD (external R&D) and TM, and non-high ER as core conditions. Furthermore, high IRD is essential for green growth, while strict environmental regulations may be detrimental. This article offers a theoretical basis for adjusting innovation strategies or improving relevant policies to promote green growth in China.

Title: Reassembling local-regional industrial networks towards sustainability: an evolving “eco-transformation arena” in a Chinese industrial district
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates a pathway for transforming small and medium enterprise-based industrial districts to eco-industrial development in newly industrialised countries. Our framework conceptualises the eco-transformation of industrial districts as a reassembling process of local-regional industrial networks toward sustainability from an ‘arenas of development’ perspective, highlighting how an emerging eco-transformation arena may challenge existing unsustainable industrial networks. We employ a case-study method to illuminate how such an eco-transformation arena has emerged in Shunde District in Southern China and evolved in the dimensions of continuity, scale and depth of transformation. The results show the pathway is driven by national policy intervention and local government responses. The subsequent development is likely to shift into a fluid, non-linear process unfolded through the continuing interaction of agenda setting, actors and their relationships, strategies and actions performed, translation projects and spaces of negotiation (i.e. the arena’s five components) while being influenced by context and place-specificity.

Title: The green innovation efficiency of Chinese cities: regional differences, distribution dynamics, and convergences
Abstract: 
 In this study, based on measuring green innovation efficiency (GIE), the regional differences, distribution dynamics and convergences of GIE among 284 Chinese cities from 2005 to 2020 were investigated. It was found that: (1) the GIE showed a decreasing regional difference within and between the eight economic zones and among the whole sample population, with the intensity of transvariation making the major contribution to the differences; (2) the GIE across the country and the eight economic zones appeared to rise slowly, showing a certain level of polarization within the zones, but the gap and polarization tended to narrow gradually on the whole, except for the Northwest Economic Zone; (3) the GIE across the country and among the eight economic zones presented prominent convergences. It was conducive to enrich the research contents and methods of green innovation and provide references for green innovation policies.

Title: Does informal environmental regulation matter? Evidence on the different impacts of communities and ENGOs on heavy-polluting firms’ green technology innovation
Abstract: 
 Firms, especially heavy-polluting firms, are facing intense pressure from informal environmental regulations, which play a unique role in promoting heavy-polluting firms’ green technology innovation (GTI). Communities and ENGOs are two important informal environmental regulation entities that have different influence mechanisms to stimulate heavy-polluting firms in GTI. The research results indicate that heavy-polluting firms’ GTI follows an inverted U-shape as the number of communities around these firms increases, whereas it follows a positive linear correlation as the number of ENGOs increases. Interestingly, ownership types and administrative hierarchy distance positively moderate the curvilinear and linear relationships. State-owned enterprises (SOEs) are more inclined to maintain their legitimacy by fulfilling communities’ and ENGOs’ environmental requirements than non-SOEs. A shorter administrative hierarchy distance means that firms are supervised by high-level governments. The autonomy effect of lower-level governments does not affect the vigorous enforcement of environmental policies, which also enhances these two relationships.

Title: Exploring public perceptions and support for green infrastructure funding mechanisms: a study of the Oxford–Cambridge Arc, England
Abstract: 
 The uptake of green infrastructure is challenged by a lack of access to financing. Studies have investigated individuals’ economic valuation of green infrastructure but understanding public perceptions of a range of potential funding mechanisms is a fundamental step in developing funding measures. Using data collected from a sample of residents in the Oxford–Cambridge Arc, England, this study addresses a gap in our understanding of public perceptions of green infrastructure funding by investigating support for several funding mechanisms, and the extent to which support is associated with attitudinal, contextual and personal capability variables. Results indicate that respondents prefer the funding of small and large-scale infrastructure to be covered by developers, with most opposition being levelled at those involving additional financial obligations from citizens. Altruistic-biospheric values, pro-environmental behaviour and trust in the government significantly affected support. These findings provide valuable insight to policymakers attempting to introduce sustainable green infrastructure funding streams.

Title: The impact of air quality on industrial intelligence: evidence from Chinese industrial firms
Abstract: 
 As Industry 4.0 develops, enterprises are investing in the industrial intelligent transformation. Using unique data from Chinese industrial enterprises, this paper investigates whether air quality affects the upgrading of industrial intelligence in enterprises. We find that decreased air quality improves industrial intelligence for enterprises, as enterprises increase their use of intelligent industrial robots when air pollution causes shortages of labour quantity and efficiency. Further analysis shows that large-scale enterprises and enterprises in areas with high economic development are more inclined to develop industrial intelligence in response to decreased air quality than their counterparts. In addition, the results indicate that the intelligent transformation of enterprises can improve their performance. This study provides a new perspective on the impact of environmental issues on corporate behaviour.

Title: Actor-driven institutional change in forest communities: insights from the Bakossi Landscape of Cameroon
Abstract: 
 The institutions-cum-forest use dynamics literature is growing, albeit marred by scanty evidence on actor roles in shaping the process in sub-Saharan Africa. Cameroon represents a useful “laboratory” to explore such actor-driven change processes. Recent studies have reported the change process linked to a colonial hangover in parts of Cameroon that came under French influence, suggesting the need for fresh evidence to uncover such change processes in parts of the country which came under British influence. Using the Bakossi Landscape as a case, this article (i) traces the pathways of forest-linked institutional change, (ii) estimates the role of actor groups in shaping forest-linked institutional change, and (iii) explores the determinants of forest-linked institutional change in the Bakossi Landscape. A representative sample of 116 households in 3 selected communities was performed. This was complemented by focus group discussions (n = 6) and key informant interviews (n = 10). Descriptive statistics were used to establish forest-linked institutional change, while the ordinary least square was employed to estimate the effect of actor groups and other determinants on forest-linked institutional change. The results lead us to the following conclusions: First, both forest-linked institutional structures and processes witnessed changes over the years. Second, raising the intensity of actor group processes (in-migrants, local elites, traditional leadership, timber dealership and NTFP traders) significantly decreases changes in forest-linked traditional rules, while migration, state officials and the church significantly increase changes in forest-linked institutional structure. Finally, an increase in the composite index of process-mix traditional leadership and NTFP traders decreases changes in forest-linked institutional structures. Future studies should uncover gender dimensions of changes in forest-based institutions, as well as the role of conflict actors in engendering institutional change.

Title: Stewardship and green infrastructure in England. Planning perspectives informed through an investigation of urban green infrastructure
Abstract: 
 The aim of this study is to explore the relationships and perspectives of stakeholders involved in the stewardship of ‘urban green infrastructure’ in England. We used stewardship of the urban forest network (trees and associated green space) as a focal point by referring to four meanings of ‘Stewardship’, i.e. Motivation, Ethic, Outcome and Action proposed by Peçanha Enqvist et al. (2018). We studied the perspectives of stakeholders through a multi-regional approach, in five English cities (Newcastle/Gateshead, Leeds, Sheffield, Coventry and Bristol), assessing their views expressed via questionnaire and analysing responses through NVivo. We found support for stewardship as a key aspect of urban green infrastructure planning, one that encourages ‘bottom up’ participation. In the specific area of urban forestry in England we propose that to ensure a co-stewardship role, planning professionals and citizens should work together at all levels to identify key roles and stewardship niches that are complementary.

Title: Identification of today’s and tomorrow’s mobility patterns in the Rhenish coal-mining area
Abstract: 
 This article deals with the development of the mobility sector in a very specific area in Germany. The Rhenish coal-mining area has to tackle an ongoing structural change. With the phase-out of lignite-based power generation, (infra-) structural changes and further resulting challenges will arise in the area between Aachen and Cologne in the coming years and decades. Within the framework of the field of action “Mobility” in the Rhenish coal-mining area, the DAZWISCHEN (In Between) (“As of March 17, 2023 the project listed on its website www.zukunftsstadt-stadtlandplus.de/dazwischen-english.html”) is investigating the current spatio-structural state as well as the possibilities for quantitative modelling of individual indicators up to the year 2040.In this article, “mobility” is understood as the spatial change in the location of people and households in daily life using different means of transport. Against this background, the modal share is considered as the central parameter. This describes the distribution of transport demand among different means of transport. Based on the status quo of the current mobility behaviour of the population in the Rhenish coal-mining area, future scenarios show which measures can be used to reduce CO2 emissions in transport in order to achieve the Paris climate targets. The results can show local decision-makers in the Rhenish coal-mining area which measures are necessary to achieve this.

Title: Energy justice and deliberative democratisation: reflection on indigenous territory governance in Taiwan
Abstract: 
 Research on deliberative democracy that contains a detailed discussion of its relationship to justice in Indigenous territory is limited. Through a case study of the controversy over a solar energy project on Kanaluvang tribal land in Taiwan, this article explores how issues of energy justice are constructed in multiple communication and deliberative sites of the governance system and the role of Indigenous activism and deliberation in addressing energy injustice. The research methods used are documentary analysis and in-depth interviews. The study presents a discursive narrative on the interconnected nature of the climate–energy–biodiversity nexus and how Indigenous activism creates deliberative spaces which reinforce Indigenous empowered space and oriented toward social learning and respect for tribal sovereignty. Indigenous activism and deliberation illuminate the emancipatory elements of Indigenous energy justice. It is crucial to connect multiple forms of tribal communication to the wider democratic system in the pursuit of energy justice.

Title: Evaluation and comparison of energy tax, resource tax and air pollution tax: an environmental-DSGE model
Abstract: 
 How governments choose green fiscal policies to achieve green transition is an urgent issue to be solved. In this context, an environmental-dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model is developed to analyze and compare the macroeconomic effects of fossil energy tax, natural resource tax and air pollution tax. The research shows that the supply-side policy, the natural resource tax, has a stronger impact on the economy than the other two demand-side policies, the fossil energy tax and air pollution tax. More importantly, supply-side policies are more effective than demand-side policies in two aspects: (1) all three policies can make up for the negative impact of tight fiscal policies on the economy, with supply-side policy offsetting the negative impact to a greater extent than demand-side policy; (2) all three policies can act as automatic stabilisers of the economy, with supply-side policy being more effective than demand-side policy in smoothing economic fluctuations.

Title: Labor market impact of China’s cross-regional environmental regulation on pollution-intensive firms
Abstract: 
 The relationship between environmental regulation and labor demand has been mixed. Few research studies have considered the impact of cross-regional environmental regulations on the labor market, even though this is notable. We adopted a geographic regression discontinuity (RD) approach to investigate the labor market impact of the cross-regional environmental regulation “2 + 26” Cities Special Emission Limit Program for Air Pollutants. We found that the policy significantly boosts the labor demand of polluting firms rather than a simple inter-industry transfer, mainly through increasing investment in fixed assets and cost offset mechanisms. Further analysis of the structure of labor demand shows that the increasing workforce is primarily low-quality labor accompanied by wage loss. The government should recognize the risks of welfare loss from low-quality work due to environmental regulation and direct polluting firms to innovate rather than reduce costs by increasing demand for low-quality labor. This facilitates a better understanding of the labor market response to environmental policy from the perspective of cross-regional environmental regulation.

Title: The geography of circular economy: job creation, territorial embeddedness and local public policies
Abstract: 
 To date, few studies have analysed the geography of the circular economy, especially its contribution to economic activity on a sub-regional scale. In this context, our paper aims to analyse the evolution of employment and activities in the circular economy at the local level in France. For this purpose, we use a database on job creation and companies in the circular economy between 2008 and 2015 and we propose for the first time a study measuring the creation of jobs and companies in the CE. We show that the growth of employment in the circular economy is higher than the growth of total employment. Moreover, we highlight that the number of companies in the circular economy is mainly concentrated in metropolitan areas. We also point out the regional effect of the growth of the circular economy, indicating the territorial embeddedness of this type of activity. Based on this observation, we assume that regional public policies play a significant role in the deployment of a circular economy.

Title: Civil society for sustainable change: strategies of NGOs and active citizens to contribute to sustainability transitions
Abstract: 
 According to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, a “Whole-of-Society” approach is needed to initiate transitions to a nature-positive society. Many look at civil society to initiate and accelerate such transitions. In this article, we investigate strategies from Civil Society Actors (CSAs) to contribute to transformative change, with specific focus on Tiny Forests and Beach Clean-Ups in the Netherlands. Results show that CSAs have a clear Theory of Change to achieve their goals, and act upon that vision through assembling power and resources, developing policy-relevant environmental knowledge, mobilising public support and media coverage and initiating innovative sustainable practices. Adopting mosaic governance approaches, CSAs strategically position themselves in social and institutional networks, connecting professionals and citizens for political leverage. However, our findings show that the step from local impact towards transition remains a large one and the contribution of CSAs should be valued as emergent, co-produced and part of a broader transition movement.

Title: Does financial and economic expansion allow for environmental sustainability? Fresh insights from a new composite index and PSTR analysis
Abstract: 
 Despite the use of different environmental proxies, the economic and financial development (FD)-environmental quality (EQ) nexus is still enigmatic. In this regard, a new composite environmental quality index (CEQI) is used to holistically represent EQ. Moreover, the Panel Smooth Transition Regression (PSTR) method is applied to estimate the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and the financial development Kuznets Curve (FKC) hypotheses using data from 13 members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The findings reveal that economic growth in the first regime positively affects CEQI while having a negative effect after exceeding the threshold and entering the second regime. Also, FD positively affects CEQI for the first regime and has a negative influence for the second regime. Other factors such as energy consumption and composite trade share (CTS) in both the first and second regimes have a negative effect on CEQI. Accordingly, several environmental quality-improving policies are recommended.

Title: The Sheffield street tree dispute: a case of “business as usual” urban management?
Abstract: 
 Press coverage of the Sheffield street tree dispute showed images of protestors and yellow ribbons on trees threatened with felling as part of a highly charged and public argument between the council and some of its citizens. However, a closer analysis of the highways management programme shows that it was not simply a case of two parties in conflict. This paper pulls on a wide range of secondary data sources to explore Sheffield’s street tree dispute by examining the urban management approach taken by the local authority. Using the place-keeping concept as an analytical framework, the paper will demonstrate how the Sheffield case reflects “business as usual” maintenance practices undertaken by local authorities when contracting out management work. The analysis also provides evidence showing how the Sheffield case demonstrates poor contract design, governance processes, evaluation and communication practices that had ramifications for the city that went beyond its street trees.

Title: The impact of China’s SO2 emission trading system on industrial total factor productivity: evidence from industrial sub-sectors at the provincial level
Abstract: 
 Much attention has been devoted to the economic benefits of emission trading systems (ETSs), but research concerning the SO2 ETS in China is scarce. We examine China’s SO2 ETS in 2007 from the perspective of industrial sub-sectors and employ the difference-in-difference-in-difference (DDD) model to test whether the SO2 ETS can promote industrial total factor productivity (TFP). We identify whether it is the average effect or the dynamic effect of the SO2 ETS that can improve industrial TFP. The heterogeneity test results indicate that this policy has diverse influence in different regions and industries, and the effect is better in pollution-intensive industries. We also find that the policy enhances industrial TFP by promoting efficient technological innovation and capital allocation. Our findings provide evidence that supports the Porter Hypothesis and a guide for the industrialization of developing countries. Chinese policymakers should strengthen environmental enforcement, set quotas accordingly, and encourage technological innovation to improve industrial TFP.

Title: Identifying the effective and ineffective configurations of the mandatory waste management policy in China: a qualitative comparative analysis
Abstract: 
 Mandating domestic waste separation is essential for solving the urban waste crisis, but it remains unclear what kind of mandatory policy in detail is more effective or counterproductive. This current study described the mandatory policy of waste separation as a configuration of five attributes, i.e. economic punishment, social punishment, supervision, charges, and community governance. Based on data mining and text analysis of the messages from Sina Weibo, the concurrent effects of those attributes were analysed by a qualitative comparative analysis from 44 pilot cities in China. The study found three configurations of high willingness by residents to separate waste, which all require different mandatory policy attributes working together. Specifically, H1a is the combination of supervision, community governance, and economic punishment; and H1b is a combination of social punishment, community governance, and economic punishment. In configuration H2, supervision and community governance are core conditions, while charges and economic punishment are not necessary.

Title: Green human resource management practices and employee green behavior
Abstract: 
 This research explores the effect of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices on employee green behavior (EGB). A conceptual model involving two double-moderations is developed and tested with the data collected from 397 respondents from various industries in India. Hayes’s PROCESS macros were used in testing the hypotheses. Consistent with the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) and Social Identity Theory (SIT), the green recruitment strategies (GRS) and green institutional initiatives (GII) positively predict EGB. The results indicate that the significant three-way interaction between GRS, employee green training and development (E-GTD), and employee green participation and involvement (E-GPI) influenced EGB. The findings also suggest that the three-way interaction between GII, employee green performance management, appraisal (E-GPMA), employee green compensation, and rewards (E-GCR) influencing the EGB was significant. The implications for green human resource management (G-HRM) and sustainability are discussed.

Title: The use and potential of Q method in environmental planning and management
Abstract: 
 Stakeholder engagement is critical to bridge gaps between academic knowledge production and application for environmental resources. Q Methodology, a qualitative and quantitative protocol, is well suited to address environmental planning and management issues through rigorous analysis of stakeholder perspectives. We review several methodological applications that have been used with or within Q Methodology aiming to improve environmental management, inform decision-making and policy, and build consensus. We review their deployment across six domains: (1) Q-set: discourse identification and concourse creation; (2) P-set: strategies to select participants and promote stakeholder engagement; (3) Q-sorts: interaction with respondents during data production; (4) Comparisons: geographic and temporal comparisons; (5) Graphics: visualization techniques to improve interpretation and dissemination; and (6) Methods: the use of complementary and mixed methods. We discuss their utility for environmental planning and management and provide recommendations for integrating these procedures into future research.

Title: On the driving forces of green total factor productivity growth in China: evidence from biased technological progress analysis
Abstract: 
 The traditional model of factor-driven economic growth can no longer be maintained due to an increasing demand to save energy and reduce emissions and a rapid rise in the cost of related factors. The concept of green total factor productivity (GTFP) has emerged as an essential component of high-quality economic growth; consequently, how to boost GTFP through the development of technical advancement has become an important question in recent years. An improved CES production function of labor, capital, and energy is created using the theoretical framework for biased technological growth as its foundation. Subsequently, the mechanisms resulting from the synergy of factor structure, factor efficiency and biased technological progress (BTP) on GTFP are theoretically deduced and empirically analyzed. The conclusion shows that the types of technical advancement are mainly net labor-enhancing and net energy-enhancing technical advancement in China from 2001 to 2017. Due to the biased effect of technical advancement, the relative comparison of the three elements is determined predominantly by excessive capital investment and less by labor and energy. Factor-enhancing technical advancement led to the growth of GTFP, while the synergistic effect of BTP, factor structure and factor efficiency hindered the growth of GTFP.

Title: Does the environmental tax influence the siting of foreign-invested manufacturing enterprises? Evidence from China
Abstract: 
 Based on unique firm-level microdata, this study adopts the conditional logit model to empirically evaluate the impact of the environmental tax on the siting of foreign-invested manufacturing enterprises. We also explore the trade-offs of the environmental tax by assessing its economic costs and benefits. This study finds that the environmental tax has a statistically significant and negative impact on the siting of foreign-invested enterprises, as verified by a series of robustness checks. This result implies a trade-off of the environmental tax, reducing pollutant emissions at the expense of damaging economic growth. Heterogeneous analysis finds that the siting is remarkably more sensitive for foreign-invested enterprises that are sole-venture, in high-polluting industries, small-scale, or hosted by developing countries. The other trade-off is outlined: although the environmental tax reduces the number of newly registered foreign-invested enterprises, it brings some economic benefits by making the structure of foreign investment cleaner and more advanced.

Title: Can environmental regulation break the political resource curse: evidence from heavy polluting private listed companies in China
Abstract: 
 This paper aims to explore whether the over-reliance on political resources hampers corporate technological innovation and the role of environmental regulation in mitigating the adverse effect. A simplified theoretical framework is proposed to combine political ties, environmental regulations, and corporate innovation. Then, based on the data for listed private companies in China’s heavy pollution industry, our empirical results show that political relations have negative impacts on both patent licensing and R&D investment, indicating the existence of a political resource curse in listed private companies in China’s heavy pollution industry. The transmission mechanisms include mitigating market competition and inducing overinvestment, but increasing the rent-seeking motivation is not a channel through which political connections negatively affect corporate innovation. Further empirical analysis demonstrates that environmental regulations help eliminate the curse effect of political ties on technological innovation at the firm level in China, through increasing market competition and reducing overinvestment. The findings of this paper provide insights for optimizing environmental regulation policies, which are conducive to inducing technical innovation in politically connected enterprises.

Title: Identifying interactions between determinants of intention for civic engagement against transportation noise exposure – a theory-driven classification tree analysis with cross-sectional data from the KORA study in Germany
Abstract: 
 The European Environmental Noise Directive highlights public participation in the development and review of noise action plans. Considering unequal participation opportunities, determinants of public civic engagement are crucial. We conceptualised these determinants to arise from four components: (1) noise exposure, (2) environmental resources, (3) engagement-specific cognitions, and (4) general cognitions and emotions. We aimed to classify intention for civic engagement in a population-based sample from the German KORA study in the Augsburg region by using Conditional Inference Trees (CIT) with variables attributed to the four components (N = 3,743, 43–92 years). The “engagement-specific cognitions”-CIT showed the highest prevalence of civic engagement intention resulting from interactions between subjective norm (expecting positive feedback from significant others), self-efficacy (having confidence to engage), and knowledge of noise abatement planning (70.6% as compared to the sample average (11.2%)). To promote equitable decision-making, participation might benefit from focusing on residents’ cognitive-behavioural processes.

Title: What is the problem with absentee landowners? Invasive plant management by residential and absentee amenity rural landowners
Abstract: 
 Landowners interested in rural lifestyles rather than primary production, are a significant group of rural landowners in many countries. Among these landowners, distinctions are made between the management practices and motivations of absentee and resident landowners. Absentee landowners are not uncommonly depicted as poor land managers and as not meeting their responsibilities. Evidence, however, on this is mixed. With a focus on invasive plant management in Australia, we compare the motivations, attitudes, and practices of absentee and resident landowners in two high amenity areas of New South Wales, Australia. We found that attitudes and practices surrounding invasive plant management were very similar between absentee and resident landowners, but that there are some key differences surrounding motivations and barriers to invasive plant management. Our data suggests that difference between absentee and residential landowners, therefore, may be overstated with respect to invasive plant management.

Title: The effect of information infrastructure on total carbon emissions and intensity: evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China
Abstract: 
 This study takes the “Broadband China” demonstration cities policy as a shock to information infrastructure development, and systematically evaluates the effects of the policy on the total carbon emissions and intensity in 280 Chinese cities using the multi-period difference-in-differences method. The research results show that the policy significantly reduced total CO2 emissions and intensity, especially in cities with a higher economic development level and population size, as well as the eastern and northern cities. The mechanism analysis suggests that the policy can reduce carbon emissions through promoting fiscal science and technology expenditure, green innovation, and tertiary agglomeration. The total mediating effect of the three aspects for abating total carbon emissions and intensity is 24.69% and 23.76%, respectively. The further discussion shows that the policy also reduced environmental pollution, indicating that information infrastructure can play a synergistic role in reducing environmental pollution and CO2 emissions.

Title: How does information and communications technology agglomeration affect the decoupling of economic growth and carbon emissions? Evidence from 257 cities in China
Abstract: 
 Decoupling economic growth and carbon emissions is essential for sustainable growth. However, the impact of ICT agglomeration, especially its long-term impact on decoupling, has received little attention. Drawing on the Tapio decoupling model and dynamic decoupling path theory, this study examines the short-term and long-term effects of ICT agglomeration on decoupling by using a panel data set for 257 cities in China from 2003 to 2017. The results show that most cities are in a state of weak decoupling (253/257) and on an intensive dynamic decoupling path (192/257). Our empirical analyses confirm that ICT agglomeration negatively impacts the short-term decoupling trend but positively impacts the long-term decoupling path. The mediating mechanism analysis indicates that ICT agglomeration affects decoupling by driving ICT infrastructure investment, promoting green technology innovation, and stimulating consumption of ICT equipment. Green technology innovation significantly drives decoupling in both the short-term and long-term impacts.

Title: A conceptual framework for measuring transaction costs in agri-environmental schemes: an application to the Dutch collective scheme
Abstract: 
 This research brings together insights from the literature on the measurement of transaction costs related to agri-environmental schemes (AES) and formulates a conceptual framework for measuring these transaction costs. The framework is then applied to the Dutch AES in which farmer collectives act as a mediator between farmer-members and the Dutch government. In particular, we study the distribution of private transaction costs in the collective scheme and compare this to the distribution under the former individual approach. Results show that transaction costs have increased substantially for the collective, while they decreased for public actors. Moreover, the execution of the Dutch AES depends for a large part on volunteers, whose costs are not accounted for in official records. Although the Dutch AES appears successful in terms of coordination, we conclude that it carries substantial transaction costs for the collectives and its dependency on volunteers makes it fragile in the long term.

Title: Can the new energy pilot policy improve China’s urban energy economic efficiency?
Abstract: 
 The global energy era is accelerating ahead of schedule. At the urban level, can large-scale utilization of renewable energy in cities promote energy consumption reduction and economic cost saving, improving energy economic efficiency (EEE)? Based on balanced panel data for 260 prefecture-level cities in China from 2010 to 2020, we used data envelope analysis (DEA) window analysis and difference-in-differences and propensity score matching to evaluate the effect of the New Energy Demonstration City Program on urban EEE. We found that the policy promoted the improvement of urban EEE. However, there is specific regional heterogeneity in the policy effects, with this policy having a more significant effect on EEE improvements in the Northeast, cities with high pollution levels, and cities with high-tech innovation levels. These findings have significant policy implications for supporting the country in promoting the development and utilization of new energy sources to improve EEE.

Title: How do farmers plan to safeguard the environment? Empirical evidence on farmers’ intentions to adopt organic pest management practices
Abstract: 
 The development and optimization of more sustainable pest control methods, primarily focusing on preventive strategies and non-chemical tools, is a global priority for scientists and agrochemical companies. This study examines Sicilian farmers’ willingness to adopt organic pest management practices for protecting tomatoes and zucchini from two key insect pests, namely Tuta absoluta and Bemisia tabaci. We implemented the Theory of Planned Behavior as a cognitive model to explore individual motivations that influence farmers’ readiness to adopt sustainable pest control practices. Results from partial least squares structural equation modeling on a sample of 85 farmers emphasize the importance of farmers’ behavioral constructs in the decision-making process: Farmers’ attitudes are the strongest predictors of intention (ß = 0.454; p < 0.01), followed by social norms (ß = 0.201; p < 0.1) and perceived behavioral control (ß = 0.184; p < 0.01). Intention and perceived behavioral control constructs positively and significantly affect the stated behavior construct (respectively, ß = 0.23; ß = 0.24). Traditional farm/farmer socio-economic characteristics have a notable, yet smaller, influence: Farmers’ education positively predicts their willingness to adopt (ß = 0.292; p < 0.01), while farmers’ age is negatively correlated (ß = −0.130; p < 0.01). Informational campaigns on the importance of organic pest management on improving soil health and biodiversity should be promoted to strengthen farmers attitudes toward organic pest management. Similarly, policy-makers should enhance farmers perceived behavioral control by providing better information about characteristics and procedures of organic pest management protocols.

Title: The myth that military culture could not drive environmental sustainability? Cross-level influence of military culture on pro-environmental behavior
Abstract: 
 The promotion of sustainable development goals (SDGs) is a crucial government policy, and military units are government departments responsible for constructive affairs. However, few studies have explored the effects of perceived military social responsibility on environmental attitude and green organizational citizenship behavior. The present study addresses this research gap by developing a research framework regarding sustainability by applying organizational identity theory to the military. The results indicate that perceived military social responsibility is crucial in improving environmental attitude and green organizational citizenship behavior and promoting sustainable development. These results can be used as a reference by military units to achieve sustainable development goals and provide practical implications for sustainable management.

Title: The crowding out effect of financial incentives on conformity to pro-environmental social norms: a quasi-experiment on household recycling
Abstract: 
 Research has shown that financially incentivizing sustainable behaviors may undermine individuals’ conformity to pro-environmental social norms, but it remains unclear why and when such a crowding out effect occurs. Using data from a quasi-experiment in Quzhou, China, this study has tested crowding out in a local incentive program for household recycling and evaluated the causal mechanisms and boundary conditions of crowding out. The reward program reduced residents’ inclination to conform to their neighbors’ recycling behaviors and persuasion, which was driven by the lowering of the first- and second-order beliefs underlying norm conformity. The crowding out effect and pathways were particularly salient among people with high levels of environmental self-identity or community social embeddedness. Moreover, framing the incentivized behavior in an environmentally beneficial way could not mitigate crowding out. Overall, the results contribute to refined theories of crowding out and have important implications for the design of environmental policies.

Title: Synergies between global low-carbon development processes and financial fluctuations from 1991–2019: a functional data analysis
Abstract: 
 Financial fluctuations affect all aspects of economic production and daily life. Using the slacks-based measure (SBM) model and the functional data analysis (FDA) technique, this study examined the pattern of global low-carbon development and the synergies between these development processes and financial fluctuations from 1991–2019. The main results show that (1) the world is making steady progress in low-carbon development. However, there were clear imbalances at the regional level. Among the countries analysed, Italy, Luxembourg, and the United States are leading in low-carbon development, while Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Slovakia are lagging. (2) The direction and magnitude of financial development affecting global low-carbon development vary over time. In recent years, its internal instabilities have increased. (3) There are distinct spatial heterogeneities in the direction and magnitude of this impact. Compared with other regions, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region’s low-carbon development processes are more sensitive to their own financial situation.

Title: Assessing the coherence of ecosystem service consideration in environmental planning: insights from hydropower development policy in Nepal
Abstract: 
 The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) 2030 rely on healthy ecosystems providing a multitude of benefits and services for a sustainable society. Many SDG goals are cross-cutting and attaining these is highly reliant on policy coherence. Coherent policy settings enhance the synergies between goals and minimise disproportionate trade-offs. However, research indicates policy coherence and its implications for achieving SDGs is a neglected topic in the global south, particularly the least developed countries (LDCs). Using the hydropower development policy in Nepal as a case, this article employs a refined coherence analysis framework to assess how coherently the concept of ecosystem services (ES) is considered in 20 policy documents. The findings reveal a lack of coherent consideration of the ES concept and implementation gaps. This improves knowledge about an understudied topic in the global south and provides a tool to evaluate policy coherence that can be applied across sectors and scales.

Title: A framework for assessing corporate sustainability risks along global supply chains: an application in the mobile phone industry
Abstract: 
 In today’s globalized world, characterized by complex supply chain networks, integrating sustainability supply chain risks into the corporate assessment models seems crucial. To tackle the global challenges this paper presents a Sustainability Risk Assessment Framework that allows measurement of environmental and social risks upstream and downstream, along global supply chains, using a combination of quantitative methods (environmental and social footprint computing tools) and qualitative methods (hotspots analysis) from three dimensions (by scenarios, by product components, by lifecycle stage). To test this framework this study focuses on the mobile phone industry, due to the importance of its environmental and social impacts. The results show the low impact of recycling strategies in environmental terms and social terms on the mobile phone industry. Fostering re-use strategies by companies will substantially improve their impacts. This framework overcomes some of the weaknesses of the corporate sustainability risk assessment methodologies, combining quantitative methods and qualitative methods.

Title: “Sustainability is not a vegan coffee shop.” Eliciting citizen attitudes and perspectives to localize the UN sustainable development goals
Abstract: 
 Integrating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into national legislation includes a need for their localization. The authors posit that this concept of localizing the SDGs is achieved if the goals are appended to an existing policy process with local implications, termed a “policy vehicle.” For this study, Q-methodology was used to gather local perspectives on the legislative process for coastal planning in Norway (the “policy vehicle”), the “proxy” legislation through which the SDGs are localized for the case study municipality of Andøya, Norway. The overall aim of the study was to understand potential pathways for enabling approaches to societal transformations where focus is placed on fostering human agency and capacities. The authors demonstrate how Q-methodology can be applied for enhanced stakeholder engagement in local decision-making processes as a starting point to enable social transformations for sustainability in a social-ecological system.

Title: Determinants of consumers’ intentions to switch to electric vehicles: a perspective of the push–pull–mooring framework
Abstract: 
 Gauging the extent of consumers’ willingness to choose electric vehicles rather than conventional vehicles has become increasingly important. Based on the push–pull–mooring framework, this study aims to examine how these three factors influence consumers’ intention to shift from conventional vehicles to electric vehicles. Based on 886 validated questionnaires from six pilot cities, findings reveal that push factors such as price consciousness and social influence are effective in convincing consumers to switch from conventional vehicles to electric ones. Moreover, pull factors, including perceived benefit and convenience, attract consumers to switch to EVs. In line with our expectations, mooring factors such as perceived risk and inertia have a negative effect on consumers’ switching intentions. Furthermore, perceived risk and inertia significantly reduce the positive effect of push and pull factors on consumers’ switching intentions. These findings provide important implications for China’s transition to low-carbon transportation.

Title: Impact of employees’ generativity on green policy attitude, environmental commitment, and green behaviour
Abstract: 
 Encouraging employees’ green behaviour is one of the effective environmental strategies in the hotel industry. Previous studies have primarily investigated the organisation-level factors influencing employees’ green behaviour. In contrast, this study shifts the focus to the employee-level factors and introduces generativity in the current research topic. Generativity reflects individuals’ concerns for the well-being of future generations. This study aims to explore the relationships among employees’ generativity, green behaviour, green policy attitude, and environmental commitment. 304 valid samples were collected from hotel employees in Macau. The structural equational model analysis revealed that generativity has a significantly positive influence on green policy. Employees’ green attitude and environmental commitment play a mediating role between generativity and green behaviour. This study expands on the literature by exploring how employees’ generativity promotes organizational environmental management. The findings suggest how hotel managers can promote green behaviour and design green policies.

Title: Modeling tourists’ pro-environmental behavior: a combination of the value-belief-norm theory and environmental identity theory
Abstract: 
 Tourists’ pro-environmental behavior is critical in achieving sustainable tourism. This article examined the driving mechanism of tourists’ pro-environmental behavior based on the Value-Belief-Norm and Environmental Identity theory, and: (1) An integrated model was established in both Chinese and Vietnamese tourists, and passed the multiple-group SEM analysis; (2) Environmental values, awareness of consequences, environmental self-identity, and moral norms were important influencing factors of tourists’ pro-environmental behavior: Environmental values were basics, which indirectly affected tourists’ behavior through awareness of consequences, environmental self-identity, and moral norms; Moral norms were the most direct factors that stimulate pro-environmental behavior; Environmental self-identity, awareness of consequences, and moral norms were mediating variables, which played intermediary roles between environmental values and pro-environmental behavior; (3) Differences between groups were also identified: There was no significant difference except for “environmental values→awareness of consequences”, but there were significant differences in the mean score for “environmental values”, “awareness of consequences”, “moral norms” and “public transport behavior”. Implications are made accordingly.

Title: Is it the Goldilocks principle? The impact of environmental decentralization on total factor carbon productivity in China
Abstract: 
 The current severe carbon emissions situation in China increases the demand for a sound environmental governance system. Using provincial panel data from 2003 to 2017, this study investigates the spatial impact of different types of environmental decentralization (ED) on total factor carbon productivity (TFCP) and its internal mechanisms and explores the threshold effect of horizontal environmental decentralization (HED) and fiscal decentralization (FD) on this impact. The results indicate that the effect of ED on TFCP exists after considering the spatial dependence. An inverted “U-shaped” relationship exists between vertical environmental decentralization (VED) and TFCP, and a “U-shaped” relationship between horizontal environmental decentralization (HED) and TFCP; that is, excessive VED and insufficient HED will inhibit TFCP. Green technology innovation acts as a mediator in the impact of ED on TFCP, including VED and HED. The dynamic threshold panel model finds that both the increase of HED and FD improved the promotion effect of VED on TFCP, but the change in HED gradually reduced the promotion effect. China should adhere to the Goldilocks principle, strengthen vertical environmental centralization and promote horizontal environmental decentralization to create a superior institutional environment for stimulating green technological innovation to further weaken the “free rider” effect of environmental governance caused by externalities.

Title: The strategic value of contradictions: exploring the practices of climate planning in Bergen, Norway
Abstract: 
 Understanding how cities develop climate plans is crucial to capture their potential to achieve ambitious climate goals. Previous literature has highlighted the role of external pressures or heroic actors in driving local changes. By highlighting the everyday practices of actors in urban climate planning, we reveal new sets of contradictions in climate governance. Drawing from social practice theory, this paper examines how contradictions were managed in the process of developing a new climate plan in Bergen, Norway. Through a variety of empirical sources, we explore the strategic value these offer, and the organisational work accomplished by the navigation of contradictions. We highlight three strategic benefits of negotiating contradictions: the legitimisation, expansion and signalling of climate work. In conclusion, the paper argues that considering practices of climate planning reveals novel forms of agency, namely the potential of mundane organisational processes and the pivotal role of civil servants in this work.

Title: The impact of climate mitigation finance on greenhouse gas
Abstract: 
 We address the research problem concerning climate mitigation finance (CMF) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Our research question is: Does an increase in CMF reduce GHG? This question generates two goals. First, to verify the predicted negative association using data that measures CMF in USD and GHG in kilotons. Second, to test the robustness of the predicted direction. To achieve our goals, we use a methodology consisting of a graphic analysis of the data over time and a panel data regression model accompanied by robust tests. Our baseline model finds evidence to support our first goal. Robust tests support our second goal by confirming that CMF decreases GHG. Noteworthy, robust tests also show that GHG outperforms the variable used by prior research, which is CO2. Our data, tests, and findings are new and so value-additive in their contributions to the international literature on climate mitigation finance and greenhouse gas emissions.

Title: Uncertainty is a panacea or a poison? Exploring the effect of economic policy uncertainty on corporate environmental, social and governance disclosure
Abstract: 
 Economic policy uncertainty (EPU) has a significant effect on firm decisions, especially corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure. This research examines the impact of EPU on corporate ESG disclosure, and tests whether this effect can be influenced by financing constraints and internal control using a sample of A-share listed firms in China from 2011 to 2019. The empirical results show that EPU positively affects corporate ESG disclosure. The positive impact of EPU on ESG disclosure is stronger at higher levels of financing constraints and internal control. The heterogeneity analysis further reveals that the positive effect of EPU on corporate ESG disclosure is more significant in state-owned enterprises, heavily polluting firms and those with a higher degree of marketization and industry competition. In times of rising EPU, firms will actively disclose ESG information to mitigate business management risks and reduce negative economic benefits.

Title: Promoting agroforestry on sand dunes for desertification control in arid regions
Abstract: 
 This research focuses on tackling the issue of fertile land turning into desert in arid regions. It proposes a solution involving financial incentives based on payment for ecosystem services (PES) to encourage the transformation of privately owned sand dunes into agroforestry systems. Under the proposed mechanism, farmers plant Acacia nilotica trees along with pearl millet on sand dunes, which provides resilient economic returns in regions with harsh climatic conditions. In addition, acacia trees help to prevent crop damage on neighboring farms through stabilizing sand dunes and serving as shelterbelts. A dynamic optimization model of land-use decisions between open millet farming and acacia-based agroforestry derives optimal afforestation of sand dunes under varying PES payments, crop incomes, and farm size endowments. Results suggest that such agroforestry systems can be effective towards preventing the spread of desertification in arid regions. Further, PES incentives can improve agroforestry uptake as well as augment farmers’ livelihoods.

Title: Nature and human well-being: a systematic review of empirical evidence from nature-based interventions
Abstract: 
 There is a growing body of knowledge that underlines the role of nature on human well-being, with an increase in the number of studies that report data on this topic in recent years. This systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art regarding the impacts of nature-based interventions (NBIs) in both human well-being and nature-related outcomes (e.g. connection with nature). It also provides detailed information about methodological approaches, including the activities performed, measures used and parameters assessed. Thirty-eight studies met the inclusion criteria, presenting quantitative and qualitative data reporting positive outcomes regarding psychological (e.g. mental health, mood states, perceived levels of stress), physiological (e.g. physiological stress, neurocognitive function) and nature-related outcomes (e.g. connection with nature, attitudes towards the natural environment). Despite the need to overcome some fragilities and knowledge gaps, overall, the studies strongly suggest that natural environments have significant positive impacts on human well-being.

Title: A review of the potential effects of recreational wind-powered craft on coastal habitats and wildlife
Abstract: 
 Wind-powered recreational (WPR) activities are increasingly popular and occur in many areas of high conservation value. Possible impacts are poorly understood; existing reviews do not generally include recent widespread forms of WPR or have narrow taxonomic/ecological scopes. We identify the coastal ecosystems/wildlife that may interact with WPR and potential impacts: a) noise, movement and other stimuli, b) direct contact, c) disruption of substrates, and d) transport of pests. Almost all available evidence on impacts involves coastal birdlife, specifically their escape responses. Most studies are a) non-peer reviewed, largely anecdotal or otherwise limited in scope and b) from temperate locations. Sustainable use of WPR craft is required despite the prevailing information gaps. We suggest a precautionary, proactive approach which likely requires a combination of site-based management, plus policy and education initiatives.

Title: The environmental and economic utility of the third-party governance of environmental pollution in China—an analysis based on the business registration information of enterprises
Abstract: 
 The third-party governance of environmental pollution (TEG) is a market-oriented mechanism designed to attract social capital to participate in ecological environmental protection. Can this mechanism result in positive and significant environmental and economic effects in developing countries? This paper examines the practical effectiveness of China’s pollution governance system reform by analyzing data on the registered business capital of the environmental protection industry in 285 prefecture-level cities during the period of 2003–2019. The study finds the following: TEG can effectively curb urban pollution emissions and improve the urban green total factor productivity (GTFP) of cities; heterogeneity analysis shows that specialization, marketization, and enterprise nature exert important impacts on its effectiveness; mechanism analysis shows that TEG can restrain pollution emissions by strengthening the tendency toward urban green technology progress; and its effects of releasing the industrial production capacity can be leveraged to improve the quality of economic development.

Title: Challenges of household medical waste collection systems: an analysis of regulatory instruments and stakeholders in three Latin American countries
Abstract: 
 Household medical waste is often improperly disposed of in several countries, despite the presence of a collection mechanism. This study attempts to identify the challenges of medical waste collection systems, focusing on the regulatory instruments and the stakeholders involved in this process in Brazil, Chile, and Colombia. A descriptive analysis was conducted to identify the differences between these countries. The results reveal that, in general, only 7 out of the 20 regulatory instruments for solid waste are applied in the household medical waste collection process, focusing on the direct stakeholders in the human medicines market, from manufacturers to consumers. The main challenges identified are incorporating veterinary medicines, defining roles for all stakeholders involved, such as healthcare providers and health teaching institutions, and expanding the use of regulatory instruments. These findings support the use of legislation to reduce the stakeholder contributions gap for the collection of household medical waste.

Title: Enterprise digital transformation, biased technological progress and carbon total factor productivity
Abstract: 
 To achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality while stabilizing economic development, enterprises need to achieve technological and management changes, and digital transformation is an important channel for change. This paper uses the 2010–2020 data on the A-share listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from China’s power industry and takes these companies as research objects. The results show that enterprise digital transformation can significantly improve carbon total factor productivity (CTFP). Heterogeneity analysis shows that in state-owned enterprises and in those enterprises integrating coal and electricity, a high proportion of clean energy installed capacity and a high level of profitability result in greater improvements. The mechanism test shows that enterprise digital transformation changes factor preference and marginal output, significantly promotes factor-biased technological progress, and saves costs on expensive factors such as energy, thus improving CTFP. This paper provides new ideas for globally promoting digital transformation and sustainable development.

Title: Correlation of air quality with population aging, industrial structure upgrading, and research and development in China based on empirical analysis
Abstract: 
 China’s population has been aging quickly in recent years, putting pressure on the environment. Population aging has also amplified the role of industrial upgrading and research and development (R&D) on environmental quality. Against this backdrop, we investigated the long-run and short-run relationships among population aging, industrial structure upgrading, R&D, and air quality in 30 Chinese provinces from 2006 to 2020. The panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model was first applied in this study. The results revealed that population aging temporarily harmed air quality but improved it over time. The favorable impact of industrial upgrading on air quality was enhanced by population aging, but the positive impact of R&D investment on air quality was reduced. Furthermore, Dumitrescu and Hurlin (D-H) Granger causality tests were adopted to confirm that population aging had a single-way causal link with air quality, whereas industrial upgrading and R&D had dual-way causal associations with air quality.

Title: Resource misallocation and unbalanced growth in green total factor productivity in Chinese agriculture
Abstract: 
 We measure the regional gaps in green total factor productivity (GTFP) growth by using the Dagum’s Gini coefficient based on panel data for 306 cities from 1996 to 2017, then adopt a geographical detector to test the contribution of resource misallocation to the unbalanced growth in GTFP. The results show that Chinese agricultural GTFP continues to grow, but the overall growth gap has expanded year by year, mainly due to the inter-provincial gap. Compared with land, labor and machinery, fertilizer misallocation is the main factor driving the unbalanced growth in GTFP. Moreover, the interaction contribution of fertilizer misallocation with any one resource misallocation is higher than that in a single factor. Finally, resource misallocation also leads to unbalanced growth in technological progress and technical efficiency, but more so for the latter. Our research helps to provide a new solution to the “dilemma” of food security and ecological security from the perspective of optimizing resource allocation.

Title: Assessing the trade-offs in more nature-friendly mosquito control in the Upper Rhine region
Abstract: 
 Recent studies show that the widely used mosquito control agent Bti has more negative effects on nature than previously expected. However, it is not yet clear whether people support a more nature-friendly mosquito control, as such an adaptation could potentially lead to higher nuisance. This study explores this question by assessing the willingness to pay for an adapted mosquito control strategy that reduces the use of Bti, while maintaining nuisance protection within settlements. For this purpose, a Contingent Valuation Study was conducted in the German Upper Rhine Valley. The results show that the majority of the surveyed population attaches a high value to a more nature-friendly mosquito control in terms of willingness to pay and is willing to accept a higher nuisance outside the villages. Policy makers should, thus, foster the development and implementation of such more nature-friendly mosquito control strategies to increase both environmental and societal benefits.

Title: Land scale heterogeneity, collective action and soil erosion control: evidence from the Loess Plateau of China
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the effect of land scale heterogeneity on participation by farmers in collective action and the level of erosion control, and its mechanism of action, using survey data from 45 villages and 1,149 households in a typical erosion area of the Yellow River basin. The results show that there is a non-linear, U-shaped relationship between land size heterogeneity and farmers’ participation in collective action and the level of erosion control, respectively, and that collective action plays a mediating role in the U-shaped relationship between land size heterogeneity and level of erosion control. This implies that maintaining a homogeneous distribution of land among households within the village collectivity and a large disparity in land allocation both promote participation in collective action and thus improve the level of erosion control. Using an endogenous regression transformation model to deal with endogeneity and robustness tests, the findings remain robust. In the mechanism analysis section, variables for the level of trust and co-ordination of interests are introduced and a non-linear, U-shaped relationship is found between land size heterogeneity through the effect of both on collective action. This suggests that the allocation of land resources as described above can co-ordinate the level of trust and the direction of interests among farmers, leading to conditions for co-operation and thus facilitating farmers’ participation in collective action.

Title: The everyday reality of nature volunteering: an empirical exploration of reasons to stay and reasons to quit
Abstract: 
 Volunteers are crucial for ecological research and nature conservation. However, despite calls in the volunteering literature to look beyond recruitment only and pay more attention to retaining and supporting volunteers, nature volunteers’ experiences have received little empirical attention. Using open survey questions among a diverse sample of formal and informal Dutch nature volunteers (N = 3775), we present a qualitative analysis of the factors that could cause nature volunteers to quit, and what keeps them going. Furthermore, we relate these to the three fundamental human needs for self-determination (autonomy, competence and relatedness). We find that reasons to quit nature volunteering include difficult situations (e.g. conflicts and tensions), volunteers’ personal circumstances, and insufficient support or appreciation. Respondents are motivated to continue because of pleasure in the activities and the people they meet, but also by a connection with nature, and the role of nature volunteering in living a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Title: Can environmental information disclosure improve total-factor energy efficiency?
Abstract: 
 Environmental information disclosure (EID) actively causes enterprises to bear responsibility for both respecting the ecology and preserving a clean environment. It not only acts as an essential way for the public to be involved in controlling environmental pollution and supervising the performance of enterprises with respect to the environment, but is also a significant method to promote the modernization of ecological and environmental governance systems as well as capacity to govern. Panel data for 285 municipalities at the prefecture level in China from 2003 to 2019 are taken for the study. By adopting the difference-in-differences (DID) method and the mediation effect model, we discuss the influence and transmission mechanisms of environmental information disclosure on total-factor energy efficiency. The performance of total factor energy efficiency is greatly facilitated by environmental information disclosure, as indicated by the results. The conclusion remains valid after being tested. The mechanism analysis shows that its conduction path mainly comes from an innovation effect, while the structural effect, marketization effect and supervision effect play relatively weak intermediary roles. Heterogeneity analyses show that the promoting effect appears to be more pronounced in non-resource-based cities, large cities and those cities that are under strong environmental regulation.

Title: Does information and communication technology reduce carbon emissions in China? Evidence from the quasi-natural experiment of the “Broadband China” pilot policy
Abstract: 
 The relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and carbon emissions has been inconsistent. Based on the panel data for 261 cities from 2008 to 2018 in China, this paper takes the “Broadband China” pilot policy as a quasi-natural experiment, and uses the difference-in-differences model, instrumental variable approach and other research methods to comprehensively evaluate the impact of the “Broadband China” pilot policy on carbon emissions. Our research found that the “Broadband China” pilot policy can reduce carbon emissions in China, but there was a certain lag in this effect. At the same time, the “Broadband China” pilot policy can reduce carbon emissions by promoting adjustment of industrial structure and green technology innovation, and the mechanism of green technology innovation played a stronger role. In addition, we also found that there was a spatial spillover effect of the “Broadband China” pilot policy affecting carbon emissions.

Title: Structural drivers of sustainability and resilience strategies in small(ish) cities: a text analysis of comprehensive planning in Indiana
Abstract: 
 For decades, the world’s largest and most globally significant cities have been pledging to tackle climate change, resilience, sustainable development and social injustices through a proliferating ecology of plans. Far less is understood about what is happening in smaller communities. This study employs an institutional lens and automated text analysis to examine the resilience and sustainability “shared strategies” embedded in local land-use plans, which are used in many countries to guide the spatial distribution of development in metropolitan regions. We find evidence that communities that are more highly educated and less racially diverse focus more on “quality of life” amenities within their plans, such as pedestrian resources and environmental amenities. By contrast, communities that are more racially diverse focus greater attention on green stormwater infrastructure to address flooding. Plan “quality” is negatively associated with an amenities’ focus. Taken together, these findings suggest comprehensive land-use planning is both a means for reflecting exclusivity as well as pursuing community needs or goals related to specific resilience or sustainability themes.

Title: The impact of land resource mismatch and environmental regulation on carbon emissions: evidence from China
Abstract: 
 Municipalities’ inefficient use of land resources may influence local carbon emissions. The spatial Durbin model is utilized for analysis to look at the direct effect of land resource mismatch on carbon emissions, as well as the spatial spillover effect. The moderating effect model and the threshold effect model are used, respectively, to investigate the moderating and threshold effects of environmental regulation in land resource mismatch affecting carbon emissions. Panel data gathered from China’s prefecture-level cities between 2011 and 2021 are the foundation for this research. The results indicate that: (1) the mismatch of land resources will significantly increase the carbon emissions of local and adjacent areas. (2) Environmental regulation has a significant negative moderating effect on local carbon emissions caused by land resource mismatch. That is, environmental regulation can improve the environmental quality brought by land resource mismatch. (3) The mismatch of land resources presents a significant threshold effect on carbon emissions. When the intensity of environmental regulation reaches a certain threshold, the positive promotion effect of land resource mismatch on carbon emissions shows a decreasing marginal effect. Therefore, the government should keep advancing land marketization reform, strengthen environmental regulation, and create an interactive mechanism for regional cooperation in pollution prevention and control to improve regional environmental quality and promote carbon emission reduction.

Title: Industrial agglomeration, environmental protection, and high-quality economic development: evidence from cities along the Yellow River Basin of China
Abstract: 
 China’s economy has entered a new phase of development, but ecological and environmental issues continue to hinder the quality of economic development. Meanwhile, the externalities of industrial agglomeration are seen as essential for promoting high-quality economic development. This article proposes a theoretical framework to examine the relationship between industrial agglomeration, environmental protection, and high-quality economic development. Using cities along the Yellow River Basin as the research object, a spatial econometric model is employed to verify the hypothesis. Ultimately, the conclusions are as follows. First, there is a significant U-shaped curve relationship between industrial agglomeration and high-quality economic development, as well as between environmental protection and a high-quality economy. Industrial agglomeration plays a significant role in promoting environmental protection. Second, high-quality economic development exhibits spatial spillover effects under both spatial weight matrices, while industrial agglomeration and environmental protection only show spatial spillover effects based on geographical distance spatial weight matrices. Finally, the article suggests that cities should accelerate the degree of industrial agglomeration to achieve the dual effect of promoting environmental protection and high-quality economic development. Additionally, governments should pay special attention to inter-regional synergistic mechanisms when fostering ecological protection and high-quality economic development.

Title: A framework for assessing the sustainable transition potential of municipal climate change mitigation plans
Abstract: 
 Local climate change mitigation plans can be essential in enabling sustainability transitions at the municipality level. However, existing frameworks for assessing the quality of climate plans inadequately address their potential to foster sustainability transitions. We develop an assessment framework consisting of indicators and associated questions by integrating elements of the transition management framework with essential quality dimensions of climate plans and planning processes identified through a literature review. We illustrate and validate the assessment framework by applying it to the climate plans of three medium-sized cities in Switzerland. Our findings demonstrate that the local climate change mitigation plans performed well regarding the tactical and operational indicators but were less optimal concerning strategic and reflexive indicators. Nevertheless, the transition management framework provided a useful framework contributing to a comprehensive and systemic assessment highlighting the importance of stakeholder involvement, inter-sectoral coordination, and monitoring and evaluation as a means for social learning.

Title: Towards a low-carbon economy: how does green credit affect carbon productivity?
Abstract: 
 As a financial instrument and a crucial component of the environmental governance system, the comprehensive impacts of green credit on both the economy and the environment remain unclear. This study examines Chinese provincial data from 2001 to 2018 and employs multiple models to assess the dynamic effects of green credit on carbon productivity. The findings indicate a significant positive influence of green credit on carbon productivity within local and surrounding areas. Furthermore, the promotion effect of green credit on carbon productivity is mainly through energy structure transformation, upgrading of industrial structure and green technology innovation. Interestingly, when considering the spatiotemporal aspect, we observe an initial marginal negative impact of green credit on carbon productivity, which subsequently transitions to a positive effect. The regions demonstrating the highest positive impacts of green credit are primarily concentrated in the southwestern region rich in renewable energy and the economically developed eastern coastal region.

Title: Feminist-environment nexus: a case study on women’s perceptions toward the China-Pakistan economic corridor and their role in improving the environment
Abstract: 
 Rising environmental concerns have attracted worldwide attention. Women are regarded as more responsive to environmental concerns, but male dominancy in households remains. Recently, China initiated the CPEC project which is part of BRI. It is perceived that such infrastructure projects also benefit women and enable them to better execute their multiple roles by raising their status and involvement in household decisions. So, based on this argument, the current study explores the perception of women towards CPEC and their role in improving their self-confidence and decision power in AJK, Pakistan. The study used the PLS equation model for estimation. Findings show that women perceive that developmental activities induced by CPEC will significantly boost their status and enable them to make green decisions in domestic settings for healthy and clean surroundings. This paper suggests that infrastructure projects in developing countries are a laudable attempt to move towards gender equality and a favorable environment.

Title: Can civilized city construction facilitate green total factor productivity? A quasi-natural experiment based on China’s pilot civilized city
Abstract: 
 This paper uses a double difference method to examine the impact of civilized city policies on urban green total factor productivity and its mechanism of action using Chinese city-level data from 2005 to 2021. The study finds that the civilized city policy promotes urban green development. The mechanism test finds that the civilized city policy achieves urban green development by strengthening government investment in environmental governance, optimizing industrial structure upgrading, and promoting urban innovation. The moderating mechanism finds that economic growth targets and environmental regulations influence the green growth effect of civilized city policy. Heterogeneity analysis found that the green growth effect of civilized cities has an asymmetric relationship in the east-central region, in areas with lower population density, and was more pronounced in cities with high human capital, high local government financial autonomy, and high levels of information technology.

Title: How do outsourcing services affect agricultural eco-efficiency? Perspectives from farmland scale and technology substitution
Abstract: 
 In-depth research on whether the development of agricultural outsourcing services (AOS) can improve agricultural eco-efficiency (AEE) and the mechanisms underlying the impact of AOS on AEE is still lacking. This study uses micro survey data from Jiangxi Province in China in 2021 to explore the impact of AOS on AEE in terms of farmland scale management and agricultural technology substitution. The results indicate that AOS in general can effectively improve AEE, but this effect varies across the different stages of production. Plough services, fertilizer application services, and pest control services can significantly improve AEE, but seeding services and harvesting services have no significant effect. Farmland scale management and agricultural technology substitution are two effective channels by which AOS improves AEE. The government should improve policies to support AOS, strengthen the positive effects of AOS on AEE, and implement differentiated support policies for AOS related to different production activities.

Title: How does digital finance accelerate low-carbon development: evidence from the Yellow River Basin, China
Abstract: 
 Digital finance has become one of the most important factors that drives the transformation toward a low-carbon economy. Although some researchers have examined the association between digital finance and low-carbon development, the indirect effect and asymmetric effect of digital finance on low-carbon development still needs to receive more attention. Taking 71 cities in the Yellow River Basin as an empirical area, this study analyzed how digital finance accelerates low-carbon development, proving that digital finance can directly boost low-carbon development. Moreover, technological innovation and industrial upgrading driven by digital finance can also reduce carbon emission intensity and accelerate low-carbon development. Furthermore, the results of the asymmetric test indicate that cities with higher carbon emission intensity have a more substantial positive influence. The recommendations presented in this study are beneficial for accelerating the progress of low-carbon development in the Yellow River Basin.

Title: Rural residents’ participation in community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR): the role of moral self-identity, perceived responsibility and face consciousness
Abstract: 
 Community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) is an important tool that requires the collaboration of all stakeholders to mitigate disaster risks in their neighborhoods. Residents’ participation in CBDRR, such as attending training programs and developing emergency plans differs from private adaptation strategies as it is characterized as observable and altruistic. To better understand the motivations for public participation in CBDRR, this study examines the role of moral self-identity, perceived responsibility, and face consciousness on three types of participation intentions, by employing data from rural residents in China (N = 479) and utilizing a mediation-moderation model. The results reveal that: moral self-identity plays a crucial role in enhancing residents’ participation intentions in CBDRR; perceived responsibility mediates this relationship; face consciousness moderates the effect of perceived responsibility on participation intentions. Finally, the moderation effect is stronger in the lower level of CBDRR action. These findings offer important insights into mobilizing public participation in CBDRR.

Title: Can the digital economy address the loss of green development efficiency due to resource mismatch? Evidence from China’s land transaction markets
Abstract: 
 Land is the driving force of economic growth, but the proliferation of industrial land has resulted in wasted land resources, impaired economic efficiency, and ecological damage in China. Currently, the digital economy is transforming China’s economic growth model. Exploring the corrective mechanisms of the digital economy for land resource mismatch can contribute to efficient economic growth. Using a sample of Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2007–2019, we employ a spatial Durbin model to explore the impact of land resource mismatch on green development efficiency (GDE) in the context of the digital economy, which is critical to rational planning, utilization, and regulation of land resources. The findings show that (1) land resource mismatch inhibits GDE, and the crowding-out, structural inhibition, and agglomeration economy dilution effect are primary influencing mechanisms. (2) A local land resource mismatch harms GDE in neighboring areas. (3) The digital economy has a positive moderating effect on land resource mismatch and GDE. (4) Land resource mismatch reduces GDE in the eastern and central regions; the moderating effect of the digital economy exists only in the eastern region. Finally, this study proposes comprehensive and complete countermeasures to correct the land resource mismatch and its influence channels and enhance the construction of the digital economy. The conclusions of this study provide specific theoretical contributions to promote the spatial allocation efficiency of land resources, promote green and efficient economic development, and stimulate and release the dividends of the digital economy.

Title: Digital economy and urban green innovation: from the perspective of environmental regulation
Abstract: 
 As a new economic form, the digital economy plays an important role in promoting urban green innovation. Based on the data for 287 cities at the prefecture level and above in China from 2011 to 2019, we calculated the development level of the digital economy at the city level and empirically tested the influence mechanism of the digital economy empowering urban green innovation. The results show that the digital economy can not only directly promote urban green innovation but also indirectly have a positive impact on green innovation by improving the intensity of environmental regulation. This conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. The incentive effect of the digital economy on green innovation shows a certain heterogeneity. The eastern region and cities with high administrative levels receive more green innovation spillover dividends from the digital economy than the central and western regions and cities with low administrative levels. Further analysis shows that the promoting effect of the digital economy on green innovation presents non-linear spillover characteristics of an “increasing marginal effect”, indicating that the “network effect” and “Metcalfe’s law” are still applicable in regional innovation systems.
