海岛的诱惑——论无居民海岛开发与保护

马尔代夫、巴厘岛、普吉岛……这些令人浮想联翩的名字,世外桃源般的海岛,宛如散落在大海中的珍珠,每年吸引着成千上万的游客流连忘返。然而,大部分的海岛其实并没有看上去那么美。与陆地相比,海岛面积小,土壤贫瘠,植被覆盖少,缺少淡水,生态系统

Human impact on beach and foredune vegetation of North Padre Island,Texas

Vehicular and pedestrian traffic decreased top and root production, percent cover, and diversity of vegetation, and modified species composition on beach and foredune areas of Padre Island National Seashore and Nueces County Park. Degradation of vegetal cover was directly related to the type and intensity of traffic; species in heavily trafficked areas represented earlier successional stages than those in comparable undisturbed areas.     

红厚壳在海南岛的分布及其生长习性

红厚壳在海南岛一直是适应性强，分布广泛的珍贵植物资源。调查结果表明，在经济建设，农业土地开发等压力下，海南岛的红厚壳植物资源正日趋减少，目前仅在琼山，文昌等地区还保留较丰富，南部地区已绝迹，西部地区也难以见到。

Sustainable Management for the Eastern Mediterranean Coast of Turkey

The objective of this article is to propose a program for the integrated coastal zone management that is required to stimulate and guide sustainable development of the Mediterranean coastal zone of Turkey. Improved data collection, quality control, analysis, and data management will provide a firm basis for future scientific understanding of the East Mediterranean coast of Turkey and will support long-term management. Various innovative procedures were proposed for a promising ecosystem-based approach to manage coastal wetlands in the Mediterranean: remote data acquisition with new technologies; environmental quality monitoring program that will provide a baseline for monitoring; linking a Geographic Information System (GIS) with natural resource management decision routines in the context of operational wetlands, fisheries, tourism management system; environmental sensitivity analysis to ensure that permitted developments are environmentally sustainable; and use of natural species to restore the wetlands and coastal dunes and sustain the system processes. The proposed management scheme will benefit the scientific community in the Mediterranean and the management/planning community in Eastern Turkey.     

Perceptions of climate change on the Island of Providencia

Climate change-related impacts have the capacity to substantially influence Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean. Currently, many SIDS are engaged in large-scale vulnerability assessments that aim to identify, analyse, and inform solutions to mitigate climate change-related impacts. Many of these assessments, while useful, place little emphasis on the local stakeholders' perceptions of climate change. One such Caribbean community impacted by climate-related change is Providence Island in Colombia. Using a vulnerability assessment framework (Marshall, P.A. et al. 2010. A framework for social adaptation to climate change: sustaining tropical coastal communities and industries. Gland: IUCN Publication Services), researchers interviewed island residents (N = 23) about their perceptions of climate change, impacts on the local environment, and how the island community may adapt. All interviews were transcribed and analysed using a priori and open coding to identify patterns of and relationships between stakeholders' responses. Results indicate that local perceptions of climate change are linked to (1) environmental knowledge, (2) environmental awareness, attitudes, and beliefs, and (3) perceptions of risk. Implications for local adaptive strategies, education, communication, and suggestions for engagement at the local level are discussed.

论海岛旅游开发中的环境保护--以威海刘公岛为例

岛屿是一种特殊的旅游资源，具有很大的发展潜力，但因发展旅游而引起的环境问题也日益受到人们的关注。本文以国家级旅游风景区刘公岛为例，分析了海岛的旅游资源，并对如何加强海岛的环境保护进行了详细的论述。     

荷兰泰尔斯海灵岛发展生态旅游研究

随着游客人数的日益增加,在传统旅游理念的路线下,生态环境承载力已无法承受旅游业所带来的影响,生态环境已遭受了不可挽回的破坏。就此,实施生态旅游成为了必然选择。以实施生态旅游的荷兰泰尔斯海灵岛为例,找出实施生态旅游的重要环节,总结出实施生态旅游的主要组成。根据调研结果,生态旅游的实施重点在于对大众及社会的生态意识宣教,只有大众及社会的生态意识提高到一定高度,才能从根本上彻底实施生态旅游之路。同时,大众生态意识决定着生态旅游实施的总进程。     

Risk cognition and the public: The case of Three Mile Island

Residents of within 50 miles of the nuclear power plant at Three Mile Island (TMI), Pennsylvania, were surveyed in 1979, 1980, and 1982 to assess their general attitudes toward nuclear power, to assess their individual coping responses to the March 1979 accident, and to monitor changes in attitudes over the three-year period. Most respondents feel that future accidents like TMI will occur once or twice more in their lifetimes, that operating nuclear power stations should have improved safeguards and should continue operating, and that major institutions—government and utility companies—are experiencing a continued erosion of public trust.
