  • Sustainable Places: Addressing Social Inequality and Environmental Crisis

    David Adamson, Lorena Axinte et al.BOOKSustainable Places2022

    This book calls for more holistic place-based action to address the social and environmental crisis, deploying the Deep Place approach as one contribution to the toolbox of actions that will underpin the UN Decade of Action towards the Sustainable Development Goals. The authors suggest that ‘place’ is a critical window on how to conceive a resolution to the multiple and overlapping crises. As well as diagnosing the problem (the world as it is), t…

  • The wellbeing needs of social housing tenants in Australia: An exploratory study

    Open AccessMegan Freund, Rob Sanson-Fisher et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    More research describing tenant wellbeing needs is required to guide initiatives improving tenant wellbeing. Development of a standardised tool to measure and prioritise tenant wellbeing needs would be beneficial. There is a need for well-controlled research to establish the potential effectiveness and cost effectiveness of initiatives implemented at the policy or housing provider level. Future research must consider the multifaceted needs of thi…

  • Agricultural water saving through technologies: A zombie idea

    Open AccessC Dionisio Pérez‐Blanco, Adam Loch et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    A zombie idea is one that has been repeatedly refuted by analysis and evidence, and should have died, but clings to life for reasons that are difficult to understand without further investigation. The perception that investments in modern irrigation systems automatically save water constitutes a zombie idea. On face value, most would accept that modernizing irrigation systems makes sense: agriculture represents 70% of global water withdrawals whi…

  • How do natural resource dependent firms gain and lose a social licence

    Open AccessNikki P Dumbrell, David Adamson et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2021Cited by: 2References: 17

    A project, firm or industry whose activities are accepted by communities and stakeholders is said to have a social licence to operate. The importance of a social licence is increasingly being realized in natural resource industries where a project or firm can impose more environmental and social costs, e.g. pollution, or strain on service delivery and housing, on communities than they are willing to accept. However, the conditions that are necess…

  • Integrating the Technical, Risk Management and Economic Implications of Animal Disease Control to Advise Policy Change: The Example of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Control in Uruguay

    Open AccessBrian Perry, Brian D Perry et al.ARTICLEEcoHealth2020

    Countries contemplating a change in their animal disease control policy face a variety of considerations, particularly in circumstances in which disease status, and the use (or not) of vaccines to control or minimise disease risk, has major implications for international trade. Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) exemplifies these trade-offs, and is particularly important in South America, where FMD virus circulation has declined and appears limited to …

    Brian Nichiporuk, Julie Davanzo et al.BOOKDemography and security2001

    Presentations at this workshop, attended by U.S. and European demographers and security experts, developed a general framework for understanding the security relevance of particular demographic trends, either by focusing on particular regions of the world, providing historical background for understanding current trends, or examining the security implications of specific demographic factors such as immigrant flows, urbanization, and ethnic compos…

  • Social Class and Ethnicity in Nineteenth Century Rural Wales

    Open AccessDavid Adamson, David L AdamsonARTICLESociologia Ruralis1984References: 3

    The majority of studies of nineteenth century rural Wales have concentrated on the cultural and linguistic determinants of conflict between an Anglicised land owning elite and a largely Welsh speaking Non-Conformist tenantry. In this paper it is argued that a deeper understanding of the causes of rural conflict during this period can be arrived at by locating these groups in the developing capitalist mode of production and the social relations of…
