A General Framework for Analyzing Sustainability of Social-Ecological Systems
Science, 2009A major problem worldwide is the potential loss of fisheries, forests, and water resources. Understanding of the processes that lead to improvements in or deterioration of natural resources is limited, because scientific disciplines use different ...

Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Smart City Applications, 2018
This paper sheds light on the ecological transition phenomenon by suggesting a sustainable development model. This model demonstrates the different variables that impact the climate which in return suggests actions that ensures a renewal in our way of consuming, producing, working and living together.

Disentangling intangible social–ecological systems
Global Environmental Change, 2012Abstract Contemporary environmental challenges call for new research approaches that include the human dimension when studying the natural environment. In spite of the recent development of several conceptual frameworks integrating human society with nature, there has been less methodological and theoretical progress on how to quantitatively study ...

One Big Social‒Ecological System
2021Abstract Galápagos is no longer the “little world within itself” that Darwin visited: it is now one big social‒ecological system (SES): the evolutionary fitnesses of all, or nearly all, Galápagos organisms are today a joint product of natural conditions and human activity. But this also makes Galápagos an effective microcosm.

Navigating Social-Ecological Systems
2001In the effort towards sustainability, it has become increasingly important to develop conceptual frames to understand the dynamics of social and ecological systems. Drawing on complex systems theory, this book investigates how human societies deal with change in linked social-ecological systems, and build capacity to adapt to change.

Social-ecological systems as complex adaptive systems: modeling and policy implications
Environment and Development Economics, 2012AbstractSystems linking people and nature, known as social-ecological systems, are increasingly understood as complex adaptive systems. Essential features of these complex adaptive systems – such as nonlinear feedbacks, strategic interactions, individual and spatial heterogeneity, and varying time scales – pose substantial challenges for modeling ...

Watersheds as Social-Ecological Systems
2016Watersheds are platforms for interaction of human and natural systems in common scenarios of IWRM. As a discipline, watershed management is similar to IWRM because it also focuses on coordinated management of water, land, and related resources. It builds on watershed science, which explains how watersheds function, and the concept of social-ecological ...

Maintaining cooperation in social-ecological systems:
Theoretical Ecology, 2016Natural resources are vulnerable to over-exploitation in the absence of effective management. However, norms, enforced by social ostracism, can promote cooperation and increase stock biomass in common-pool resource systems. Unfortunately, the long-term sustainable use of a resource is not assured even if cooperation, maintained by ostracism and aimed ...
