Inheriting Sustainability: World Heritage, Tourism Development and Social-Ecological Resilience in Small Oceanic Islands: a comparative case study of Lord Howe Island (Australia) and Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (Brazil)
This paper explores the effects of different mechanisms for controlling the number of tourists in small-oceanic-island tourist destinations on the sustainability of their development. It uses a resilience and complex adaptive systems perspective, interrogating the extent to which specific mechanisms can contribute to greater economic globalisation, monopolisation and shifting patterns of competition and cooperation among local and global stakeholders.
Building resilience of what, for whom?: Navigating the challenges of particip...Erin Bohensky
As scientists in the post-normal age, we no longer simply do research, but are expected to act as catalysts for change. We are often required to support the integration of multiple knowledge cultures, and enable stakeholders to learn and act collectively to promote resilience or transformation. Collective responses are necessary to address the roots of complex ‘wicked’ problems and find potential solutions, requiring participatory research and planning processes which can simultaneously bridge stakeholders’ world views, encourage cross-scale partnerships and innovation, and generate social learning and collective action. However, this presents fundamental challenges for scientists. Often we have to facilitate multi-stakeholder processes and act as objective knowledge brokers, but also have to manage and integrate our own disciplinary paradigms and value systems. The power dynamics of different knowledge systems can influence process and outcomes, and in cross-cultural situations, concepts can be lost in translation. Furthermore, we need to learn ourselves by evaluating the impact of such processes on knowledge integration, learning and collective action, but this is difficult to address methodologically, and learning may be constrained by structured thinking and institutionalised barriers.
The Torres Strait Islands on Australia’s northern border are undergoing rapid change from the global to local scale, creating new pressures for the remote island communities. I present an approach and some findings during the past three years from a project funded by the National Environmental Research Program (NERP) called “Building Resilient Communities for Torres Strait Futures”. I reflect on challenges we’ve encountered as scientists facilitating ‘resilience thinking’ in the field, and our learning about how to more effectively design, implement and evaluate knowledge co-production processes.
Ecotourism is defined as responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and benefits local people. It aims to educate travelers, provide funds for conservation, benefit local economies, and foster cultural respect. However, some ecotourism ventures have negatively impacted environments and local communities through issues like overtourism, displacement of indigenous people, threats to cultures, and mismanagement of natural resources. Improving sustainability requires regulation, education, prioritizing small local businesses, and natural resource stewardship.
This document summarizes research on natural resource management strategies in northern Ghana. It finds that both informal, traditional strategies and formal strategies are important for sustainability. Traditional strategies emphasized respect for nature and prohibiting overexploitation through spiritual beliefs and rules passed down over generations. However, population growth is depleting resources. The research concludes that local and formal/modern knowledge systems must collaborate continuously to address resource depletion through mutually reinforcing laws and management practices. A combination of ethnographic research methods and surveys were used to understand perspectives of local experts and community members.
This document provides an overview of Vietnam's 2011 Vietnam Development Report, which focuses on natural resource management. The report contains chapters on land management, water resources, forest management, marine resources, and mineral resources. It identifies key issues in each sector such as inefficient land and resource use, lack of coordination among agencies, and environmental degradation. The report calls for reforms to improve efficiency, environmental sustainability, and equity. Reforms proposed include strengthening property rights, market-based resource allocation, integrated planning, and increased community participation.
Governing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), with UCL's Peter JonesIIED
In the latest of a series of IIED critical themes, Peter Jones, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Geography at UCL, discussed Governing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on October 6, 2014.
His presentation explored the argument that the key to the resilience is diversity, both of species in ecosystems and incentives in governance systems.
The discussion drew on the findings of 20 MPA case studies from around the world, employing a novel governance analysis framework to address some key questions: How can top-down and bottom-up approaches to MPA governance be combined? What does this mean, in reality, in different contexts? How can we develop and implement governance approaches that are both effective in achieving conservation objectives and equitable in fairly sharing associated costs and benefits?
Jones has spent more than 20 years undertaking trans-disciplinary research on the governance of human uses of marine resources, provided advice to many national and international organisations on MPA and MSP issues, is a Ministerial Appointee to the Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority and recently published the book Governing Marine Protected Areas: resilience through diversity (2014, Routledge).

#WCIP2014 IASG - thematic paper traditional knowledge rev1Dr Lendy Spires
Indigenous peoples' traditional knowledge plays an important role in biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. There is growing recognition of the links between traditional knowledge, sustainable use of biological resources, and addressing issues like climate change and biodiversity loss. However, more work is still needed to strengthen the protection of traditional knowledge and ensure the effective participation of indigenous peoples in relevant policy processes. International frameworks and scientific assessments have made progress in incorporating traditional knowledge, but continued efforts are needed to support transmission of knowledge between generations and its contributions to global challenges.
The document discusses natural capital accounting, which aims to quantify the value of natural resources and ecosystem services. It outlines the challenges of economic growth degrading the environment and notes that current systems do not reflect nature's invisibility and interdependence with human well-being. Natural capital accounting seeks to integrate environmental information into policies by valuing ecosystem services and changing incentives to reward stewardship of natural assets over the long run. The document provides definitions of natural capital and ecosystem services and describes different types of services like provisioning, regulating, cultural and supporting. It also discusses tools like ecosystem and inclusive wealth accounting that can reflect natural values in decision making.

Linkages among Biodiversity, Livelihood, and Tourism
Abstract
The aim of this survey was to examine the affiliation amidst biodiversity reservation, livelihood advancements along with tourism advancement utilizing the appreciative inquiry view as a survey instrument. The survey was carried out in three various buffer-area societies typifying various states of tourism advancement within Chitwan Federal Reserve in Nepal. The outcomes show that tourism assists in adjusting regional individuals' perspectives towards the preservation of biodiversity and decrease individual's reliance on natural materials. Tourism, specifically small-scale and regionally managed ecotourism enterprises, is still determined as an instrument to better the livelihoods of individuals across safeguarded regions. The connections, nonetheless, differ with the stage of tourism advancement. This survey still advanced a foundation to assist in comprehending these connections.
Study Techniques
Study Region
The survey was carried out in Chitwan Federal Reserve, the most ancient Federal Reserve within Nepal, developed in the year 1973 along with a global heritage spot. This park is located in south-central Nepal. Conventionally, regional communities relied on reserve materials for wood, fuel, roofing resources along with other forest commodities. Most significantly, the way of life of the traditional societies relied on the forests. Thus, the strain on reserve materials increases with advances in the regional populace (Nyaupane & Poudel, 2011). In order to connect reservation
Shah 02
with livelihoods, the state of Nepal initiated buffer area laws in the year 1996 that determine buffer areas in subsisting safeguarded regions.
For the survey, with the assistance of reserve agents, three societies in the buffer area were chosen founded on the level of tourism advancement. The information was gathered from December in the year 2008 to January in the year 2009 utilizing the appreciative inquiry procedure.
Appreciative Enquiry
This survey assumed the appreciative inquiry procedure as a survey instrument to unearth the connections amidst biodiversity reservation, tourism advancement, and livelihood advancements. Appreciative inquiry is an easy, yet strong, instrument that assists the surveyor comprehend rural individual's information, requirements, and prerogatives without sidelining them from the survey. This view was most applicable due to the fact that it is appropriate for collectivist communities where every associate associate specifically with affiliates of a particular doctrinal, cultural or familial team (Nyaupane & Poudel, 2011).
The survey adhered to the 4-D AI stages with a few adjustments that entail five stages; grounding, disclosure, model, dream along with desti.

Research Proposal - Sustainable tourism certification in Biosphere Reserves Cathie Withyman
This document outlines a research proposal for a case study examining how sustainable tourism certification can be used to develop a sustainable tourism industry within Biosphere Reserves, using the Noosa Biosphere Reserve as a case study site. The research will use a qualitative approach involving surveys of tourism operators and interviews with certified and non-certified operators and industry organizations. The research aims to identify how certification is currently implemented in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve, why operators embrace or reject certification, how certification impacts business sustainability, and how certification can support sustainable tourism industry development in the reserve. The study has received positive feedback and has potential for high impact in the field.
Here is a summary of the positive and negative effects of ecotourism:
Positive Effects:
- Generates income and employment for local communities from tourism activities like guiding tours. This enhances economic development.
- Raises environmental awareness among both locals and tourists through interpretation and education. This fosters conservation values.
- Sustains local traditions and culture by showcasing them to visitors. This boosts cultural pride.
- Funds generated support conservation of natural areas that attract ecotourists. This aids protection of biodiversity.
Negative Effects:
- Overcrowding at popular ecotourism sites can degrade the environment through pollution, litter, and trampling of vegetation.
- Large visitor numbers may
Ecotourism can have both positive and negative socio-cultural, economic, and environmental impacts on destinations. Positively, it can increase financial opportunities for local communities, preserve natural habitats, and promote cultural pride and awareness of environmental issues. However, large tourist volumes can damage fragile ecosystems, introduce foreign values that weaken indigenous cultures, and increase costs of living in local communities. Proper management strategies are needed to maximize ecotourism's benefits while minimizing its risks and downsides.
This document describes a study that used the Delphi technique to identify key elements of an effective and sustainable visitor management framework. 31 experts from seven regions of the world participated in the Delphi process to identify elements necessary for effective visitor management and factors that facilitated or limited success when using the Visitor Experience and Resource Protection (VERP) framework. The elements identified were categorized and rated for importance. The results provide insights into planning challenges and how frameworks like VERP could be refined or improved to aid in sustainable recreation management on a global scale.

This guest lecture was presented as part of the Subject The Economies of Cities and Regions of the Master of Urban Planning programme of the University of Melbourne. It introduces students to key concepts in tourism, tourism development and sustainability that allow the debate of the sustainability of tourism development in selected case studies from an economic perspective.
This document outlines the development of a research design for studying how competition and cooperation among tourism stakeholders influences sustainability on small oceanic islands. It will use a qualitative embedded multiple case study approach with three data sources per case. The research questions examine how World Heritage listing, cultural/socioeconomic contexts, and other factors shape stakeholder interactions and sustainability. Case sites will be natural or mixed World Heritage-listed, small, inhabited oceanic islands that successfully conserve natural heritage. Challenges include overcoming mainland biases and allowing an inductive process.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

4. Introduction
Tourism development and sustainability are pressing issues to small oceanic islands featuring important and scarce natural
heritage assets; these islands normally present small geographical areas with clearly defined boundaries, typically limited economic
development alternatives combined with environmental systems and resources that are fragile and difficult to restore, once modified.
Nevertheless, however paramount and highly interdependent the conservation of natural heritage and the obtaining of economic and
social benefits through tourism might be, they do not seem to be subject of easy control; tourism development sustainability is
dependent on the behaviour of many different agents, with not always complementary but rather, quite often, competing
interests. From a social-ecological complex adaptive systems (SECAS) perspective, this research sought to understand how different
forms of interpersonal and inter-organisational relationships of cooperation and competition act as drivers and inhibitors to the
sustainability of tourism development in small oceanic islands. Additionally, it sought to identify strategies that could influence these
drivers and inhibitors within different social economic contexts, the influence of World Heritage Listing (WHL) investigated as one
possible global strategy. Structured as a qualitative multiple case study, this research takes place in two small oceanic island tourist
destinations: the Lord Howe Island in Australia and the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago in Brazil.
5. Research Question
How do different types of interpersonal and
interorganisational relationships of competition and
cooperation among tourism stakeholders of small oceanic
islands listed as Natural World Heritage Properties – NWHPs
influence the sustainability of their tourism development
and the resilience of their local social-ecological complex
adaptive systems?
6. Subsidiary Research
Questions
1. How do localised conservation (implemented through
Protected Areas in the context of UNESCO’s World
Heritage Listing) and tourism development influence
competition and cooperation among stakeholders of
World Heritage listed small oceanic island tourist
destinations?
2. What are the main historical events affecting the way
these stakeholders compete and cooperate and how?
3. How do intrinsic environmental and demographic
characteristics of these destinations affect the way
competition and cooperation take place?
4. How do the cultural, socio-economic and regulatory
contexts of these destinations interfere with these
relationships?
7. Theoretical
Framework
“The control of a complex adaptive system tends to be
highly dispersed. (…) If there is to be any coherent
behaviour in the system, it has to arise from competition and
cooperation among the agents themselves” (Waldrop, 1992,
p. 145).

9. Resilience and
Stability of Ecological
Systems
Resilience “is a measure of the
persistence of systems and of their ability
to absorb change and disturbance and
still maintain the same relationships
between populations or state variables”
(Holling, 1973, p. 14).
10. Resilience Versus
Sustainability
• ComplexAdaptive Systems are inherently dynamic
and ever-changing, hence their adaptive capacity.
From a human perspective, adaptation leading to
improved livelihoods is broadly referred to as
development. Different development models lead
systems to higher or lower chances to continue to
exist and to develop in the future, a system’s
resilience being dependent on the type of
development arising from the self-organisation of its
elements.
• Sustainability is, therefore, linked with
development, which is a complex adaptive system’s
system’s property, while resilience is a complex
adaptive system property on its own, as it is the
the capacity of a system to bounce back and forward
following acute impacts and slow onset stresses.

&
Tourism Development
Tourism development is understood here as the development
of the tourism activity in a certain location over time, while
tourist development refers to land development that has been
carried out for tourism purposes.
13. How the research was
structured
The research is framed as a multiple case study (Yin, 2014)
focusing on self-organisation by means of competition and
cooperation.
Data collection involved sourcing of government and NGO
documents and websites; semi-structured interviews with
representatives from key organisations and local communities;
and direct observation.
Data was qualitatively analysed through a Grounded Theory
(Charmaz, 2006) approach with the support of NVivo 10.

35. “In response to the sudden and concentrated growth
experienced in 2005 and 2006, when single cruiseships were
bringing more that 600 simultaneous tourists to FDN (instead
of traditional 400) (CONAPA-FN, 2005a), new restrictions
were put forward in 2007 by CONAPA-FDN, including the limit
of 450 cruiseline tourists per visit and the limits of 300
simultaneous cruiseline tourists in marine tours and 360 in
land tours (ICMBio-MMA, APA-FN, PARNAMAR-FN, CMA, &
TAMAR, 2007). In 2008, the limit of cruiseline tourists per visit
was lifted and the number of simultaneous tourists in land and
marine tours was adjusted to 350 each, but the frequency of
visitation was restricted to a maximum of 1 visit each 7 days,
no visits to occur during peak times such as the periods of
New Years Eve, Carnival and Easter and no navigation to
occur in APA-FDN waters shallower than 100 metres and
PARNAMAR-FDN waters between 6pm and 8am (ICMBio-
MMA, APA-FN, PARNAMAR-FN, CMA, & TAMAR, 2008)”

39. Thesis Argument Local Empowerment, Local Social Cohesion, Attachment
to Place and Local Identity are fundamental to the resilience
of Local Social Ecological Complex Adaptive Systems and
therefore to the sustainability of Tourism Development
Along with local social cohesion, local empowerment is
driven by (whilst also influence) the way competition and
cooperation take place in those islands;
By reconfiguring land tenure and occupation at the local level,
World Heritage Listing is a global strategy that can
influence the balance between global and local
empowerment;
Promoting greater global connectivity, Tourism in itself is a
globalising force manifesting at the local level that can
promote both global and local empowerment.
40. Conclusion
Small oceanic islands are territories portraying clear boundaries and geographical isolation exhibiting human-environmental
relations that can foster greater social cohesion, community identity and resilience. Historically highly connected to global
environmental systems (climate is an example), many of these islands have also started to experience accelerated globalisation
of their economies, mainly through tourism development. As they become more dependent on the global economy, they are
also subject to greater state and/or market regulation that raise the benchmark for the local production of economic offerings. Their
local social-ecological insurance–or the strong local social-ecological relationships that form the basis of local resilience–start to be
replaced by financial insurance, usually withheld globally rather than locally. As the Anthropocene unfolds, global climate change
brings another layer of complexity to these island communities. The extent to which they can retain strong local social cohesion and
local empowerment in face of global economic and environmental threats is a significant challenge to their survival. This is a
fundamental question of scales. To thrive in a globalising world and to withstand the threats posed by uncertain behaviour of ever-
changing global systems to which they are increasingly connected, island communities are forced to leverage their capacity to
operate in global environmental and economic systems.
