Mountain Resilience: A Systematic Literature Review and Paths to the Future
Mountains are home to a considerable share of the human population. Around a billion people live in mountainous areas, which harbor rich natural and sociocultural diversity. Today, many people living in mountainous areas worldwide face fundamental changes to their cultural and economic living conditions. At the same time, mountain communities have defied harsh environments in the past by adapting to changing natural conditions and showing remarka…
Assessment by Audiences Shows Little Effect of Science Communication Training
As the science community has recognized the vital role of communicating to the public, science communication training has proliferated. The development of rigorous, comparable approaches to assessment of training has not kept pace. We conducted a fully controlled experiment using a semester-long science communication course, and audience assessment of communicator performance. Evaluators scored the communication competence of trainees and their m…
The Ecocentrists: A History of Radical Environmentalism
The title clearly defines the mission. The Ecocentrists is an examination of the evolving development of an environmental philosophy espoused by a cadre of radical activists. As the author Keith Makoto Woodhouse writes: Ecocentric thought assumed that trees, bears, and grasshoppers should receive as much consideration as humans in decisions large and small about the shape of modern society. An ecocentric outlook granted no more value to people ..…
It’s an Endurance Race”: An Indicator-Based Resilience Analysis of the Energy Transition in the Allgäu Region, Bavaria
The Allgäu region in the state of Bavaria is one of the pioneering regions in the energy transition in Germany. To analyse the resilience of the transition process itself, we developed an indicator set for diversity and connectivity, two key elements to characterise the resilience of a system in transition.The energy transition currently taking place in Germany is recognised as being one of the most ambitious socio-technical transitions at the pr…
Resilience to climate change in a cross-scale tourism governance context: A Combined Quantitative-Qualitative Network Analysis
Luthe, T., and R. Wyss. 2016. Resilience to climate change in a cross-scale tourism governance context: a combined quantitative-qualitative network analysis. Ecology and Society 21(1):27.http://dx.doi.org/10.5751/ES-08234-210127
Introducing adaptive waves as a concept to inform mental models of resilience
While ecological resilience is conceptually established, resilience concepts of social-ecological systems (SES) require further development, especially regarding their implementation in society. From the literature, (a) we identify the need for a revised conceptualization of SES resilience to improve its understanding for informing the development of adjusted mental models. (b) We stress the human capacity of social learning, enabling deliberate …
Assessing and planning resilience in tourism
Coopération pour l’adaptation climatique dans le tourisme: Une discussion programmatique pour les Alpes, basée sur la théorie de la structuration
Le changement climatique est un défi des plus actuels pour de nombreuses destinations touristiques alpines. Alors que les effets de l’évolution des schémas climatiques sont, en ce qui concerne la sphère de la géographie physique, bien documentés, la recherche sur les effets du changement climatique sur les systèmes socio-économiques régionaux dans les Alpes est encore rare. Ce qui fait presque entièrement défaut est un travail conceptuel identifi…
Cooperation for climate adaptation in tourism: An agenda for the Alps based on structuration theory
Climate change is an imminent challenge for many alpine tourism destinations. While the effects of changing climatic patterns are well documented with respect to the physical geographical sphere, research into the effects of climate change upon the regional socio-economic systems in the Alps is still rare. What is almost entirely missing is conceptual work identifying possible path-ways towards the implementation of adaptation measures with respe…
