Picturing Sustainable Water Resources Management: Photo-conversations with Irrigators and Policymakers
The concept of sustainable development has emerged over the last 30 years and its development and articulation has a number of antecedents and it can be interpreted in many ways. But the idea of sustainability, as we now understand it, was articulated in the 1987 Brundtland Report as the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. However, in today's world the con…
Using PhotoStory to capture irrigators' emotions about water policy and sustainable development objectives: A case study in rural Australia
Participatory research approaches have gained popularity within the natural resource management domain, particularly irrigation management since 1980s. Some of these methods allow the examination of values and emotions with regard to the management of natural resources and hence can supplement other ways of eliciting community responses to policy change. This article discusses the methodology and findings of an image-based participatory research …
Fresh Water: New Perspectives on Water in Australia
A tool to aid emergency managers and communities in appraising private dam safety and policy
Issues concerning dam safety and equitable sharing of catchment run-off are receiving more attention throughout the world.

Landholders often overlook the common law obligation to review/design dams to current standards because of high costs, leaving them vulnerable to litigation if their dam fails. The paper reports on an innovative spillway design/r…

Time of day and telephone interviews in Rural‐Urban Australia
Private household telephone ownership in Australian capital cities ranges between 91.1 per cent (Canberra) and 81.9 per cent (Brisbane). Consequently, telephone ownership need not be viewed as a major factor distinguishing households. As the characteristics of households without telephones are also known, it is possible to supplement telephone interviews with face to face interviews and thereby ensure that such a sampling frame represents the pop…
Community response to hazard information
The impact of flood hazard information on public acceptance of a selected flood mitigation strategy was assessed by an analysis of the content of newspaper reports of community reaction and letters to the editor. The impact of personal delivery of a flood hazard map on individual perception of risk and attitude to such information was assessed using personal interviews. The results indicated that media coverage of the flood hazard information red…
Newspaper reporting of bush-fire disaster in south-eastern Australia-Ash Wednesday 1983
Newspaper reports about a bushfire disaster in SE Australia were analysed in order to present some understanding of the images those reports conveyed to the victims and non-victims in one affected State. The results demonstrated that the newspapers gave limited prominence to reports containing warning or response information before or after the disaster. The newspapers reported most prominently case study descriptions of personal hardship or hero…
