Title: | Using context in novel community-based natural resource management: landscapes of property, policy and place | Contributor(s): | Brunckhorst, David J (author) | Publication Date: | 2010 | DOI: | 10.1017/S0376892910000342 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/6289 | Abstract: | Community based natural resource management (CBNRM) engages groups of citizens in collective action towards sustainable conservation and natural resource management (NRM) within and across various tenure regimes. Substantial differences exist between developing and developed countries in terms of conditions conducive to CBNRM. There are also contextual differences from national to local scales, across different 'spaces' and 'places' within each. This paper focuses on developed countries in deriving and synthesizing some concepts from systems theory and landscape ecology, with lessons from facilitating novel CBNRM arrangements. Understanding the landscape context of interacting levels and scales of social and ecological systems can inform institutional development of resilient CBNRM. Efforts to increase the scale and effectiveness of social-ecological sustainability can benefit from novel arrangements facilitating holistic integration of environmental conservation across levels of institutions of communities and government, including tenure regimes (type and ownership of resources as 'property'). Property and policy, together with 'place' attachment of communities can be viewed within a landscape framework. Such a 'landscape lens' provides an interdisciplinary meld that is important to sustainable CBNRM, but sometimes forgotten (or avoided) in government planning, policy deliberation and action. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Environmental Conservation, 37(1), p. 16-22 | Publisher: | Cambridge University Press | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1469-4387 0376-8929 |
