Redefining Diversity and Dynamics of Natural Resources Management in Asia, Volume 1: Sustainable Natural Resources Management in Dynamic Asia

Redefining Diversity and Dynamics of Natural Resources Management in Asia, Volumes 1-4 brings together scientific research and policy issues across various topographical area in Asia to provide a comprehensive overview of the issues facing the region. Sustainable Natural Resources Management in Dynamic Southeast Asia, Volume 1, pulls together regional experts in the field to look specifically at sustainability issues across the region, to see what has been implemented, what the impacts have been, and what other options are available. In the race to be a developed region, many Southeast Asian countries have foregone natural resources through haphazard use. As a result, the people are faced with numerous environmental challenges, particularly deforestation and forest degradation, biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, reduction in soil quality, and decreases in the quantity of available water. Community-based forest management is the involvement of local communities in the protection, conservation and management of public forests to prevent degradation through sustainable practices while still responding to the basic social and economic needs of local populations. When the people who depend on forest resources for their livelihoods are jointly responsible for managing and protecting them, they tend to do so in a more sustainable manner by focusing on the long-term benefits rather than the immediate short-term gains. However, when tenure rights are weak, unclear, or insecure, or offer limited benefits, people are incited in extracting more immediate benefits, resulting in suboptimal forest management and the reduction of carbon stocks. Features case studies that cover issues such as rising levels of deforestation, forest degradation, regional food security, ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, conflicts over natural resource use, water management issues, and impacts on local communitiesIncludes contributions from local researchers who are dealing with these issues first hand, and on a daily basisIncludes a comparative review on REDD+ implementation in different communitiesFocuses on sustainability issues across the region INDICE: Section I: Introduction and Conceptual Background Chapter 1: Challenges of Sustainable Natural Resources Management in Dynamic Southeast Asia Chapter 2: Theoretical Advances in Community-Based Natural Resource Management: Ostrom and beyond Chapter 3: Governing the Commons through Understanding of Institutional Diversity: An Agenda for Application of Ostrom's Framework in Managing Natural Resources in Asia Section II: Theoretical Issues Chapter 4: Challenges of Polycentric Water Governance in Southeast Asia: Awkward Facts, Missing Mechanisms, and Working with Institutional Diversity Chapter 5: Modelling Effect of Conservation and Livelihood Policies on Community Land Use and Management in Yogyakarta Chapter 6: Social Insecurity, Natural Resources and Legal Complexity Section III: Learning from the Field Cases/Issues Chapter 7: High Resolution of Three-Dimensional Remote Sensing Dataset for Biomass Estimation in Tropical Rainforest Chapter 8: Complementing the Design Principles of Long-enduring Irrigation Management Institutions: A Lesson from Karya Mandiri Irrigation System in West Sumatra, Indonesia Chapter 9: Land Rights and Land Reform Issues for Effective Natural Resources Management in Indonesia Chapter 10: Dynamics and Effectiveness of the Multi-Stakeholder Forum in Promoting Sustainable Forest Fire Management Practices in South Sumatra, Indonesia Chapter 11: Collaborative Governance of Forest Resources in Indonesia: Giving-over Managerial Authorities to Decision Makers on the Sites Chapter 12: Coastal Water Pollution and its Potential Mitigation by Vegetated Wetlands - an Overview of Issues in Southeast Asia Chapter 13: Scaling the Costs of Natural Ecosystem Degradation and Biodiversity Losses in Aceh Province, Sumatra Chapter 14: Targeting Deforestation through Local Forest Governance in Indonesia and Vietnam Section IV: Looking Forward Chapter 15: Prospect of Sustainable Peatland Agriculture for Supporting Food Security and Mitigating Green House Gasses Emission in Indonesia Chapter 16: Decentralization of Forest Management, Local Institutional Capacity and its Effect on Access of Local People to Forest Resources: the Case of West Sumatra, Indonesia Chapter 17: Can Up-landers and Low-landers Share land and Water services: A Case Study in Central Java Indonesia Chapter 18: The Role of Information Provision on Public GAP Standard Adoption: the Case of Rice Farmers in the Central Plains of Thailand Chapter 19: A Multiple Case Study on Analyzing Policy and their Practice Linkage with Implications to REDD+ Concluding Section Chapter 20: Managing Dynamic Natural Resources in 21st Century in Asia
