1. 6. Experimenting with sustainability transformations: A study of Urban Living Labs in the food, water and energy nexus

   Författare :Darin Wahl; LUCSUS; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Transdisciplinary sustainability research; Urban Living Labs; experimentation; co-production; participatory methods; transformation; pluralism; food water energy nexus;

   Sammanfattning : Scholars and practitioners increasingly emphasize the importance of transdisciplinary and experimental approaches for understanding and addressing sustainability challenges. While there is widespread agreement that human society must undergo deep and radical changes, or so-called transformation, how transformation happens depends on multiple and dynamic factors in local contexts.

3. 7. Colonised Coasts : Aquaculture and Emergy Flows in the World System: Cases from Sri Lanka and the Philippines

   Författare :Daniel A. Bergquist; Lennart Strömquist; Clas Lindberg; Torbjörn Rydberg; Aida Aragao-Lagergren; Örjan Sjöberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Social and economic geography; Aquaculture; Capitalism; Socio-economic effects; Environmental effects; Benefit distribution; Sustainability; Sustainability assessment; Fairness; Development; Interdisciplinary; Transdisciplinary research; Geography; Emergy; World System Theory; General Systems Theory; Sustainable development; Sri Lanka; Philippines; Kulturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis conceives aquaculture as a transfer of resources within and between different parts of the world system. It is argued that due to inappropriate human-nature interactions, resources tend to flow from the South to the North, as a process of coastal colonisation. LÄS MER

4. 8. Energy Efficiency and Preservation in Our Cultural Heritage : EEPOCH
