The ‘green’ and ‘self’ in green self-governance – a study of 264 green space initiatives by citizens
Thomas Mattijssen Arjen Buijs Birgit Elands Bas Arts 《Journal of Environmental Policy & Planning》2018,20(1):96-113
Scholars observe an increased involvement of citizens in green space governance. This paper focuses on green self-governance, in which citizens play a major role in realizing, protecting and/or managing green space. While existing research on green self-governance focuses mostly on specific cases, we aim to contribute towards a large overview via an inventory of 264 green self-governance practices across The Netherlands. With this, we discuss the relevance of green self-governance for nature conservation and its relationship with authorities. In our analysis, we show that green self-governance practices are very diverse: they pursue a wide variety of physical and social objectives; employ a multitude of physical and political activities; involve different actors besides citizens; mobilize different internal and external funding sources; and are active within and outside of protected areas. While green self-governance can contribute towards protection and management of green space and towards social values, we highlight that this contribution is mostly of a local relevance. Most practices are small scale and objectives do not always match those of authorities. Although we speak of self-governance, authorities play an important role in many practices, for example, as financial donor, landowner or regulatory authority. In this, self-governance is often not completely ‘self’.

Protected areas present a global heritage. Assessing conservation achievements in protected areas is of crucial importance with respect to the on-time delivery of international biodiversity conservation targets. However, monitoring data from publicly accessible databases for comparative studies of conservation achievements in the protected areas of the world are very scarce, if not non-existent. At first glance this is surprising because, with regards to protected areas, at least according to well established protected area management guidelines and widely accepted public mandates, a great deal of monitoring work and data gathering is to be conducted. This would imply that data on changes of biodiversity in protected areas could be expected to exist, and the constant progress in information technologies and Web tools engenders hope that some of it might even be available online for the global public. This review article presents the results of an extensive online search and review of existing monitoring data from freely accessible online databases for its use in an assessment of conservation achievements in a larger sample of protected areas. Results show two contrary sides to the status quo of accessible data from the World Wide Web for conservation science: data overkill and data scarcity with poor metadata provision. While ever more research is, in fact, based on open-access online data, such as extrapolations of species ranges used in conservation management and planning, it remains almost impossible to obtain a basic set of information for an assessment of conservation achievements within a larger number of protected areas. This awareness has triggered a detailed discussion about the discrepancies in sharing data at the level of protected areas; mismatching relationships between expected activities in protected areas and the capacity for delivering these requirements are certainly among the main challenges. In addition, the fear of data misuse potentially resulting in harm for nature, careers, and competencies still seems to be a critical barrier strictly controlling the willingness to share data. Various initiatives aimed at tackling technical and cultural obstacles are introduced and discussed to reach the goal of a modern resource management based on adaptive management using digital opportunities of the new millennium for a sustainable global village. 相似文献

Effective management of large protected conservation areas is challenged by political, institutional and environmental complexity
and inconsistency. Knowledge generation and its uptake into management are crucial to address these challenges. We reflect
on practice at the interface between science and management of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area (GBMWHA), which
covers approximately 1 million hectares west of Sydney, Australia. Multiple government agencies and other stakeholders are
involved in its management, and decision-making is confounded by numerous plans of management and competing values and goals,
reflecting the different objectives and responsibilities of stakeholders. To highlight the complexities of the decision-making
process for this large area, we draw on the outcomes of a recent collaborative research project and focus on fire regimes
and wild-dog control as examples of how existing knowledge is integrated into management. The collaborative research project
achieved the objectives of collating and synthesizing biological data for the region; however, transfer of the project’s outcomes
to management has proved problematic. Reasons attributed to this include lack of clearly defined management objectives to
guide research directions and uptake, and scientific information not being made more understandable and accessible. A key
role of a local bridging organisation (e.g., the Blue Mountains World Heritage Institute) in linking science and management
is ensuring that research results with management significance can be effectively transmitted to agencies and that outcomes
are explained for nonspecialists as well as more widely distributed. We conclude that improved links between science, policy,
and management within an adaptive learning-by-doing framework for the GBMWHA would assist the usefulness and uptake of future
research. 相似文献

Nepal is considered a leader among developing nations with regard to conservation legislation and programs; it was among the
first Asian nations to develop national conservation legislation, sign CITES, and develop a national conservation strategy.
We review the history of modern conservation law in Nepal from the Rana period (early 1950s) to the present. The early legislation
focused mainly on strict preservation of areas and species; this phase culminated in the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation
Act of 1973. Subsequent legislation has evolved more in the direction of an integrated, holistic approach to conservation
and is beginning to incorporate the participation of local people; subsequent amendments to the 1973 act allowed greater rights
to rural villagers, and the designation of conservation areas in addition to the more strictly defined protected areas (national
parks, wildlife reserves, etc.).
Our review of conservation legislation suggests that Nepal has had many successes to date; the country has a protected area
system covering over 10% of its land area, and many target species are recovering in parks and reserves. There are also some
causes of concern, including staff shortages, financial constraints within the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation,
and the fact that there is little legal infrastructure outside of protected areas to enforce conservation laws; further, some
aspects of hunting regulations are in need of revision. Primary needs include a comprehensive review of these policies and
a nationalized strategy to ameliorate the shortcomings. 相似文献

The creation of protected conservation areas may result in protracted conflicts between stakeholders. In this study we examine the drivers of anthropogenic wildfire ignitions in the National Park of “los Alerces” (NPA) in Patagonia, Argentina. The NPA was established in 1937 to protect the native “andino-patagónico” forests from wildfires as well as preserving its scenic beauty and native flora and fauna. At the time of its creation state authorities prohibited all extractive human activities in the “intangible”—fully protected—“National Park” section, while other regulated extractive and ecotourism activities were allowed to continue in the “Natural Reserve” section in an effort to accommodate the historical entitlements of the displaced populations of “pobladores” (settlers) that had been living in the NPA for over a century. Here we interviewed the main stakeholder groups—“pobladores”, forest rangers and administrators, ecolodge owners and angler club members—to identify the drivers of wildfire ignitions in the park. Wildfires have been singled out by state authorities as the main threat to the NPA though considerable scientific uncertainty exists regarding their complex ecological effects. This study argues, based on the human and biophysical system data collected, that two conflicting cultural frames exist within the NPA that provide the necessary backdrop for understanding the drivers of wildfire ignitions. In turn, these findings raise puzzling dilemmas for the main theoretical approaches that have been used to inform and design conflict management strategies in protected conservation areas. 相似文献

A major task related to conservation is to predict if planned infrastructure projects are likely to threaten biodiversity. In this study we investigated the potential impact of planned infrastructure in Spain on amphibian and reptile species, two highly vulnerable groups given their limited dispersal and current situation of population decline. We used distribution data of both groups to identify areas of high herpetofauna diversity, and compared the locations of these areas with the locations of the planned road, high-speed train railway and water reservoir network. Four criteria were used for this identification: species richness, rarity, vulnerability, and a combined index of the three criteria. From a total of 1441 cells of 20 x 20 km, areas of high diversity were defined as those cells whose ranked values for the different criteria included either all species or all threatened species. The combined index provided the smallest number of cells needed to retain all threatened species (1.7 and 2.6% of the cells for amphibian and reptile species, respectively). Coincidences between these high diversity areas and cells including planned infrastructures-denominated 'alert planning units'-were 35.4% for amphibians and 31.2% for reptiles. Mitigation of the potential impacts would include actions such as barriers to animal access to roads and railways and ecoducts under these constructions. Our approach provides conservation authorities information that can be used to make decisions on habitat protection. A technique that identifies threats to herpetofauna before they occur is also likely to improve the chance of herpetofauna being protected. 相似文献

In spite of widespread support from most member countries’ societies for European Union policy, including support for the
sustainable development idea, in many EU countries the levels of acceptance of new environmental protection programmes have
been and, in particular in new member states, still are considerably low. The experience of the countries which were the first
to implement union directives show that they cannot be effectively applied without widespread public participation. The goal
of this study was, using the example of Poland, to assess public acceptance of the expansion of nature conservation in the
context of sustainable development principles and to discover whether existing nature governance should be modified when establishing
new protected areas. The increase in protected areas in Poland has become a hotbed of numerous conflicts. In spite of the
generally favourable attitudes to nature which Polish people generally have, Natura 2000 is perceived as an unnecessary additional
conservation tool. Both local authorities and communities residing in the Natura areas think that the programme is a hindrance,
rather than a help in the economic development of municipalities or regions, as was initially supposed. This lack of acceptance
results from many factors, mainly social, historic and economic. The implications of these findings for current approach to
the nature governance in Poland are discussed. 相似文献

Livelihoods of people living in many protected areas (PAs) around the world are in conflict with biodiversity conservation.
In Mexico, the decrees of creation of biosphere reserves state that rural communities with the right to use buffer zones must
avoid deforestation and their land uses must become sustainable, a task which is not easily accomplished. The objectives of
this paper are: (a) to analyze the conflict between people’s livelihoods and ecosystem protection in the PAs of the Sierra
Madre de Chiapas (SMC), paying special attention to the rates and causes of deforestation and (b) to review policy options
to ensure forest and ecosystem conservation in these PAs, including the existing payments for environmental services system
and improvements thereof as well as options for sustainable land management. We found that the three largest PAs in the SMC
are still largely forested, and deforestation rates have decreased since 2000. Cases of forest conversion are located in specific
zones and are related to agrarian and political conflicts as well as growing economic inequality and population numbers. These
problems could cause an increase in forest loss in the near future. Payments for environmental services and access to carbon
markets are identified as options to ensure forest permanence but still face problems. Challenges for the future are to integrate
these incentive mechanisms with sustainable land management and a stronger involvement of land holders in conservation. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Climate change will pose increasingly significant challenges to managers of parks and other forms of protected areas around
the world. Over the past two decades, numerous scientific publications have identified potential adaptations, but their suitability
from legal, policy, financial, internal capacity, and other management perspectives has not been evaluated for any protected
area agency or organization. In this study, a panel of protected area experts applied a Policy Delphi methodology to identify
and evaluate climate change adaptation options across the primary management areas of a protected area agency in Canada. The
panel identified and evaluated one hundred and sixty five (165) adaptation options for their perceived desirability and feasibility.
While the results revealed a high level of agreement with respect to the desirability of adaptation options and a moderate
level of capacity pertaining to policy formulation and management direction, a perception of low capacity for implementation
in most other program areas was identified. A separate panel of senior park agency decision-makers used a multiple criterion
decision-facilitation matrix to further evaluate the institutional feasibility of the 56 most desirable adaptation options
identified by the initial expert panel and to prioritize them for consideration in a climate change action plan. Critically,
only two of the 56 adaptation options evaluated by senior decision-makers were deemed definitely implementable, due largely
to fiscal and internal capacity limitations. These challenges are common to protected area agencies in developed countries
and pervade those in developing countries, revealing that limited adaptive capacity represents a substantive barrier to biodiversity
conservation and other protected area management objectives in an era of rapid climate change. 相似文献

Geographic information systems and remote sensing technologies have become an important tool for visualizing conservation management and developing solutions to problems associated with conservation. When multiple organizations separately develop spatial data representations of protected areas, implicit error arises due to variation between data sets. We used boundary data produced by three conservation organizations (International Union for the Conservation of Nature, World Resource Institute, and Uganda Wildlife Authority), for seven Ugandan parks, to study variation in the size represented and the location of boundaries. We found variation in the extent of overlapping total area encompassed by the three data sources, ranging from miniscule (0.4 %) differences to quite large ones (9.0 %). To underscore how protected area boundary discrepancies may have implications to protected area management, we used a landcover classification, defining crop, shrub, forest, savanna, and grassland. The total area in the different landcover classes varied most in smaller protected areas (those less than 329 km2), with forest and cropland area estimates varying up to 65 %. The discrepancies introduced by boundary errors could, in this hypothetical case, generate erroneous findings and could have a significant impact on conservation, such as local-scale management for encroachment and larger-scale assessments of deforestation. 相似文献

Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) are an important mechanism for the acquisition of land and the management of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. HCPs have become a vital means of protecting endangered and threatened species and their habitats throughout the United States, particularly on private land. The scientific consensus that climate is changing and that these changes will impact the viability of species has not been incorporated into the conservation strategies of recent HCPs, rendering plans vulnerable biologically. In this paper we review the regulatory context for incorporating climate change into HCPs and analyze the extent to which climate change is linked to management actions in a subset of large HCPs. We conclude that most current plans do not incorporate climate change into conservation actions, and so we provide recommendations for integrating climate change into the process of HCP development and implementation. These recommendations are distilled from the published literature as well as the practice of conservation planning and are structured to the specific needs of HCP development and implementation. We offer nine recommendations for integrating climate change into the HCP process: (1) identify species at-risk from climate change, (2) explore new strategies for reserve design, (3) increase emphasis on corridors, linkages, and connectivity, (4) develop anticipatory adaptation measures, (5) manage for diversity, (6) consider assisted migration, (7) include climate change in scenarios of water management, (8) develop future-oriented management actions, and (9) increase linkages between the conservation strategy and adaptive management/monitoring programs. 相似文献

Local people's attitudes towards conservation and wildlife tourism around Sariska Tiger Reserve, India 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Udaya Sekhar N 《Journal of environmental management》2003,69(4):339-347
Conservationists in the recent years view local peoples' support for protected areas management as an important element of biodiversity conservation. This is often linked to the direct benefits, which local communities get from the protected areas. These benefits could be in the form of biomass resources, park funds diverted to local villages by state agencies and revenue from wildlife tourism. There are a very few studies which have attempted to study the direct relationship between benefits from wildlife tourism and local support for conservation. In India, wildlife tourism is restricted, and mostly controlled by state and private agencies. Wildlife conservation policy does not view tourism in protected areas as a source of revenue for the local communities. The present study examines the local people's attitudes towards wildlife tourism and the impact of benefits from tourism on the local support for Sariska Tiger Reserve (STR), India. STR is a flagship for tourism where protected areas are increasingly being visited and where local support for wildlife tourism has not been studied adequately. Results indicate that two-thirds of the respondents were positive towards tourism and support for conservation. The respondents were aware that more tourism benefits are possible from a well-conserved protected area. There appears to be correlation between benefits obtained by local people from wildlife tourism and other sources, and support for protected area existence, suggesting that benefits impact people's attitudes towards conservation. Some of the main problems are the unequal distribution of tourism benefits, lack of locals' involvement in tourism and development. There is a need to clearly address these issues, so that protected areas may get the support of local people, which may lead to sustainable development. 相似文献

Environmental pollution and degradation of ecosystems considerably affect the natural resources. The Turkish Government is
aware of the importance of the preservation of natural ecology and thereby the environmental conservation of many species
in their natural habitat. This paper provides critical assessments of the problems and possible solutions in the identification,
implementation and management of the Specially Protected Areas (SPAs) system by giving basic information about stakeholders
and their responsibilities that currently offer nature conservation in Turkey. The goals of the article are to analyze how
the SPAs interface with the local people, especially the villagers who have dwelt there before SPA designation and how people-SPA
conflicts resolved; to show how effective the SPA conservation objectives have been; to outline the significance of informing
and empowering people in nature conservation for the protected area management and to show the importance of planning at all
levels during protection of the natural, archeological and cultural values of the SPAs. 相似文献

Does Community-Based Conservation Shape Favorable Attitudes Among Locals? An Empirical Study from Nepal 总被引:15,自引:1,他引:14
Like many developing countries, Nepal has adopted a community-based conservation (CBC) approach in recent years to manage
its protected areas mainly in response to poor park–people relations. Among other things, under this approach the government
has created new “people-oriented” conservation areas, formed and devolved legal authority to grassroots-level institutions
to manage local resources, fostered infrastructure development, promoted tourism, and provided income-generating trainings
to local people. Of interest to policy-makers and resource managers in Nepal and worldwide is whether this approach to conservation
leads to improved attitudes on the part of local people. It is also important to know if personal costs and benefits associated
with various intervention programs, and socioeconomic and demographic characteristics influence these attitudes.
We explore these questions by looking at the experiences in Annapurna and Makalu-Barun Conservation Areas, Nepal, which have
largely adopted a CBC approach in policy formulation, planning, and management. The research was conducted during 1996 and
1997; the data collection methods included random household questionnaire surveys, informal interviews, and review of official
records and published literature. The results indicated that the majority of local people held favorable attitudes toward
these conservation areas. Logistic regression results revealed that participation in training, benefit from tourism, wildlife
depredation issue, ethnicity, gender, and education level were the significant predictors of local attitudes in one or the
other conservation area. We conclude that the CBC approach has potential to shape favorable local attitudes and that these
attitudes will be mediated by some personal attributes. 相似文献

The air quality management (AQM) framework in the UK is a risk management approach using effects-based objectives for air pollutants to determine the need for action. The Environment Act 1995 required a National Air Quality Strategy to be published, setting out health-based standards and objectives for eight pollutants, of which seven are to managed at a local scale. Because of the variety of sources of air pollution, if the AQM process is to succeed in the long term, solutions to identified problems will be required from transport, land use and economic planning sectors of local government in liaison with various other agencies, regulators and outside bodies. As such the task is inherently multi-disciplinary and an integrated, collaborative approach will be necessary. Although this observation is now fairly well documented, there is still little guidance relating to how, in relation to air quality management, integration can actually be accomplished. This paper presents some observations from case studies undertaken as part of a longer-term research study and in particular focuses on the identified problems of involving non-air-quality professionals in a highly technical scientific process. Various approaches to the collaborative aspects of air quality management will be presented. These case studies represent local authorities of different sizes in different political and organisational situations facing a range of air quality challenges. The creation of project teams or task forces is judged particularly useful for local air quality management. Methods that could be applied more widely include appointing individuals as integrators, and rotation of key personnel. 相似文献

This article examines the use of forests in a protected area by nearby agriculturalists in central Vietnam. Research indicates
that the majority of rural farmers interviewed who lived near a state designated protected area were receiving both subsistence
and cash incomes from forest-based activities, primarily from the collection of forest products. However, much of the collection
of forest produce was officially illegal, as it occurred in state protected forests, and interdiction efforts were on the
increase. Yet, little attention has been paid in Vietnam to the need for income substitution for households who lose access
to forest produce as a result of conservation enforcement, particularly in the case of farmers who live near, but not in,
protected areas; their resources use has been ‘invisible’ due to a lack of attention and research on the topic. This misunderstanding
of the importance of forests to rural farmers has the potential to result in households facing adverse welfare and livelihood
outcomes as protected areas boundaries are tightened, and local communities face increased opportunity costs due to stricter
conservation enforcement. The article concludes that substitution for loss of income due to conservation activities would
best be achieved through carefully targeted interventions to specific high-impact and high-dependency households. Additionally,
investments in new sources of wage labor and other low capital-input activities, rather than in agriculture, would likely
be of most benefit. 相似文献

Recovery plans are the main documents supporting management decision-making for threatened species. We evaluated Australian recovery plans to assess their appropriateness as conservation and management planning instruments. Six legislative requirements (species information and general requirements, species distribution and location, known and potential threats, objectives, performance criteria and actions, duration of the plan, and estimated costs of plan implementation) were used to assess the degree of compliance of recovery plans with the relevant legislation. We assessed all 236 official recovery plans which had been adopted as at January 2006. The results showed that plans were most compliant regarding the setting of objectives, performance criteria, recovery actions, and duration of plan. Most plans included a single performance criterion that was generally related to the population status of target species. Improvement is required in relation to identification of current threats and critical habitats, and the establishment of basic elements of monitoring and evaluation for measuring recovery progress. Gaps in ecological information are the main factors affecting adequate compliance with legislative requirements as opposed to managerial information (e.g. clarity in establishing the implementation schedule, costs and resource allocation). Planning deficiencies could be addressed by improving the recovery planning guidelines and more carefully reviewing the drafting and adoption of new plans. 相似文献

Although good general principles for climate change adaptation in conservation have been developed, it is proving a challenge to translate them into more detailed recommendations for action. To improve our understanding of what adaptation might involve in practice, we investigated how the managers of conservation areas in eastern England are considering climate change. We used a written questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to collect information from managers of a range of different conservation areas. Topics investigated include the impacts of climate change perceived to be of the greatest importance; adaptation goals being set; management actions being carried out to achieve these goals; sources of information used; and perceived barriers to taking action. We identified major themes and issues that were apparent across the sites studied. Specifically, we found ways in which adaptation had been informed by past experience; different strategies relating to whether to accept or resist change; approaches for coping with more variable conditions; ways of taking a large-scale approach and managing sites as networks; some practical examples of aspects of adaptive management; and examples of the role that other sectors can play in both constraining and increasing a conservation area’s capacity to adapt. We discuss the relevance of these findings to the growing discussion in conservation about identifying adaptation pathways for different conservation areas and a potential progression from a focus on resilience and incremental change to embracing “transformation.” Though adaptation will be place-specific, we believe these findings provide useful lessons for future action in both England and other countries. 相似文献

Three different systems of designating protected areas in a Mediterranean region in southeastern Spain were studied, referring
to their effectiveness and efficiency for protecting both the breeding territories and the suitable habitat of a set of ten
raptor species. Taking into consideration the varying degrees of endangerment of these species, a map of multispecies conservation
values was also drawn up and superimposed on the three protected-area systems studied. In order to compare the levels of protection
afforded by the three systems, we considered two indices that measured their relative effectiveness and efficiency. The effectiveness
estimated the proportion of territories or optimal habitat protected by the networks while efficiency implicitly considered
the area of each system (percentage of breeding territories or optimal habitat protected per 1% of land protected). Overall,
our results showed that the most efficient system was that formed by the set of regional parks and reserves (17 protected
breeding territories per 100 km2), although, given its small total area, it was by far the least effective (only protecting the 21% of the breeding territories
of all species and 17% of the area of high conservation value). The systems formed by the Special Protection Areas (designated
under the EU “Birds Directive”) and by the Special Conservation Areas (designated under the EU “Habitats Directive”) notably
increased the percentages of protected territories of all species (61%) and area of high conservation value (57%), but their
efficiency was not as high as expected in most cases. The overall level of protection was high for all species except for
the Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni), an endangered falcon that inhabits pseudo-steppe and traditional agricultural habitats, which are clearly underrepresented
in the protected-area network of the study region. 相似文献
