  1. 26. Factors influencing actors at the interface between the socio-technical and the ecological systems: The case of on-site sewage systems and eutrophication

    Författare :Are Wallin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; social dilemma; Eutrophication; regulatory compliance; goal-framing theory; on-site sewage systems; homeowners;

    Sammanfattning : Eutrophication, caused by nutrient loading, is a global environmental problem, particularly severe for the Baltic Sea. Long-term solutions rely on the ability of society to respond effectively. This involves, for example, instigating actors who have the capability to directly influence nutrient loads to take action.

    Sammanfattning : Forests play an important role in providing ecosystem services that support the ecological integrity of an area and also supply social benefits for humans. Many of the essential ecological and social benefits derived from forest are underpinned by its biodiversity. LÄS MER

  4. 28. Local institutions, biological conservation and management of ecosystem dynamics

    Författare :Johan Colding; Paul Cox; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systems Ecology; systemekologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis analyze local institutions and management practices related to natural resources and ecosystem dynamics, with an emphasis on "traditional ecological knowledge" systems. Papers I, II and III analyze ‘resource and habitat taboos’ (RHTs) with the objective to synthesize knowledge about informal institutions behind resource management. LÄS MER
