Competing claims on natural resources become increasingly acute, with the poor being most vulnerable to adverse outcomes of such competition. A major challenge for science and policy is to progress from facilitating univocal use to guiding stakeholders in dealing with potentially conflicting uses of natural resources. The development of novel, more equitable, management options that reduce rural poverty is key to achieving sustainable use of natural resources and the resolution of conflicts over them. Here, we describe an interdisciplinary and interactive approach for: (i) the understanding of competing claims and stakeholder objectives; (ii) the identification of alternative resource use options, and (iii) the scientific support to negotiation processes...

Seeing the forest for the trees: hybridity and social-ecological symbols, rituals and resilience in postdisaster contexts
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Tidball, Keith G.; Cornell University, USA; kgtidball@cornell.edu.
The role of community-based natural resources management in the form of  &amp;#8220;greening&amp;#8221; after large scale system shocks and surprises is argued to provide multiple benefits via engagement with living elements of social-ecological systems and subsequent enhanced resilience at multiple scales.  The importance of so-called social-ecological symbols, especially the potent hybrid symbols of trees and their handling after a disaster is interrogated. The paper explores the notion of hybridity, and applies it to the hybrid symbol of the tree in postdisaster contexts.  The paper briefly highlights three U.S. cases documenting the symbolic roles of trees in a context of significant shock to a social-ecological system: the terrorist attacks on New...

We evaluate whether society can adequately be conceptualized as a component of social-ecological systems, given social theory and the current outputs of systems-based research.  A mounting critique from the social sciences posits that resilience theory has undertheorized social entities with the concept of social-ecological systems.  We trace the way that use of the term has evolved, relating to social science theory.  Scientometic and network analysis provide a wide range of empirical data about the origin, growth, and use of this term in academic literature.  A content analysis of papers in Ecology and Society demonstrates a marked emphasis in research on institutions, economic incentives, land use, population, social networks, and social learning....

Coral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems on the planet but are declining because of human activities. Despite general recognition of the human role in the plight of coral reefs, the vast majority of research focuses on the ecological rather than the human dimensions of reef ecosystems, limiting our understanding of social relationships with these environments as well as potential solutions for reef recovery. General frameworks for social-ecological systems (SESs) have been advanced, but system-specific approaches are needed to develop a more nuanced view of human-environmental interactions for specific contexts and resource systems, and at specific scales. We synthesize existing concepts related to SESs and present a human dimensions framework...

ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT AND THE FLORIDA EVERLADES: THE ROLE OF SOCIAL SCIENTISTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Milon,   J. Walter; Kiker,   Clyde F.; Lee,   Donna J.
Recently many state and federal agencies in the U.S. have embraced an ecosystems management approach to environmental protection and regulation.  This approach requires a high degree of cooperation between natural and social scientists to translate policy objectives into research hypotheses, models, and evaluation procedures to guide implementation decisions.  An adaptive procedure to guide interdisciplinary research is described and illustrated with highlights of recent progress and pitfalls from the restoration initiative for the Everglades/South Florida ecosystem.
