How to assess national decarbonization policies? A dynamic framework for evaluating energy efficiency and CO2 emissions in OECD nations aligned with the SDGs
The contested political economy of Norway's oil and gas industry
Norway, Western Europe's largest petroleum exporter, faces a profound paradox: its economic prosperity relies heavily on hydrocarbon production, yet it champions some of the world's most ambitious climate policies. Petroleum exports account for 18 % of GDP and 42 % of total export value, while domestic CO2 emissions reach 50 million tonnes annually, excluding emissions from exported fuels, which would multiply its climate footprint tenfold. This …
Environmental and Economic Transformation of an Old Industrial Area
Since the national reform and opening policy of 1978, textile manufacturing has played a vital role in China’s advance. Confronted with the global importance of sustainable development, the industry faces a range of environmental and economic challenges. This inquiry addresses the issues created in an old industrial area and outlines ways in which textile production can be updated. Xiangyang City is taken as the case study, with the focus on thre…
Realizing the Opportunities of Redd
This article aims to identify and realize opportunities for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) through consideration of gender issues during the development and implementation of Papua New Guinea’s first National Forest Inventory (NFI). To improve the planning and management of forests, the agenda is to achieve sustainability of ecosystem services, uncover economic and social values, and contribute to combating cl…
Infrastructure Planning in Queensland, Australia
Installation of essential infrastructure can challenge not only its specialized supply professionals but also property developers and homeowners. This article investigates these stakeholders’ appraisal of high voltage overhead transmission lines (HVOTLs) in Queensland, Australia. It first assesses risk surrounding developers’ operations and then relays the chief perceptual models applying to the public at large. Investigated next are the two subj…

Mobilizing cultural supports against the commercial sexual exploitation of (female) children (CSEC) in Solomon Islands community development
As reflected in the Pacific nation of Solomon Islands (SI), child trafficking and the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) represent global problems with serious ramifications for community development. While acknowledging the deployment of internationalist, “child rights” interventions combined with top-down legislative provisions, this article revisits the possibility of positive, community-based strategies. Having appraised proble…
Carbon Management in an Emissions-Intensive Industry in a Developing Economy
Around 600 Mt carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) emission originates from energy production and consumption in Indonesia annually. Of this output, 40 Mt CO2e comes from cement production. This makes the cement industry a key sector to target in Indonesia’s quest to reduce its emissions by 26% by 2020. Substantial opportunities exist for the industry to reduce emissions, mainly through clinker substitution, a…
Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Land Reclamation Development in Indonesia
Land reclamation activities can, directly and indirectly, impact the environment. Examples of direct effects include alterations in coastal geomorphology, variations in the chemical content of water and changes in biological composition along the littoral zone. The indirect impacts can involve geological changes and increase vulnerability to natural disasters. Reclamation processes also result in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from vehicle and ma…
Integrating Indigenous approaches and relationship-based ethics for culturally safe interventions
Traditional culture in post-colonial Solomon Islands is experiencing neoliberal impositions of market forces and individualistic social work programmes based upon global welfare rights. Previous research has emphasised culturally derived national resilience and the economic benefits of ‘Kastom’. Emergent research questions are (a) whether Indigenous social work could avoid absolute (colonial) impositions or negligent cultural relativism by using …

Countering globalisation and managerialism
Social work developed from Christian caring and a eudaimonic desire for a worthwhile life. Although ethics continue to underpin the discipline, contemporary complexities of post-modernism, globalism and managerialism are destabilising the universalist moral intentions of practice and subsequently demotivating eudaimonic drives. Cultural and context-specific relativist influences are promoting an ethics of ‘fitting in’ which, without critical anal…
Bohemianism and Urban Regeneration
Despite a burgeoning literature, the role of bohemians in the urban milieu and in initiatives toward regeneration remains contested. As a first step toward later modeling and application, we present a thoroughgoing literature review, a short commentary on bohemian phenomena, and suggested readings. Since qualitative sources dominate the field, the review is structured rather than fully systematic in the scientific sense. After discarding innumera…
Conceptualization and System Design in the Monitoring of Urban Form
Historically, humanity has congregated in certain places to benefit from a division of labour and scale economies. Yet, in this process, issues inevitably emerge surrounding urban form, understood as the physical configuration of the built environment. As settlements expand and technologies change, so do these inherent problems. Official responses are put in place to address them, thereby creating direct and indirect social costs and distorting p…
Residents Speak Out
Allied to notions of late modernity, Ulrich Beck’s “risk society” has found relevance in light of recent technological and global economic crises. By means of focus group research undertaken in Queensland, Australia, this article explores the relation of such concepts and dislocations to home ownership, property rights and place attachment, asking to what extent home ownership can be seen as a depository and remedy for the consequences of Beckian…

The Garden of Peace
Managerialism and the neoliberal lifestyle are dulling our ability to think for, or beyond, ourselves. Recourse to the Garden of Peace enables us to rediscover our intellectual capacities. Yet, in that sanctuary, we also encounter the meta-issues of the era. Several “big questions” in geography proposed by Cutter, Golledge, and Graf (2002) Cutter, S. L., Golledge, R. and Graf, W.

A Generic Framework for Criterion-referenced Assessment of Undergraduate Essays
This paper presents a brief review of the relative merits of norm-referenced and criterion-referenced assessment of undergraduate students' written work. Acknowledging that there are both positive and negative aspects of criterion referencing, a generic framework for such assessment of undergraduate essays is presented. It comprises criteria and standards (organised by 'dimensions of achievement', i.e. content, process, affect and skills), profic…
Educational traditions and economic geography
Based in educational theory and with an interdisciplinary backdrop, this paper applies to economic geography thoughts and contributions pioneered in agricultural science by Professor Richard Bawden. Commonly held educational objectives are interpreted alongside three major teaching traditions. From this analysis, the potential relevance of experiential learning is examined in the light of paradigmatic shifts in economic geography and practical de…
Reef, Range and Red Dust
Reef, range and red dust are the ‘three Rs’ which sum up the geography of Queensland. The recently‐completed state atlas, a joint venture of the Premier's and Lands Departments, was charged with capturing the physical and human aspects of this vast area. This paper recounts the background, decisions, controversies and some technicalities inherent in its production. No human hands, save those of graphic artists, touched the paper of the atlas: it …

Die Industrie Australiens in den achtziger jahren
Australian industrial development and policy in the 1980s. This paper reviews Australian industrial development and policy in the changed global environment of the 1980s. Focusing first on macroeconomics, it cites Australia's declining terms of trade and balance of payments, currency devaluation and budget deficits as a backdrop to recent performance in the secondary sector. Before 1980 manufacturing was small-scale by world standards, inward loo…

Postgraduate education and thesis writing in Australian geography
This paper argues that the present structuring of postgraduate degrees in Australian geography is a recent phenomenon and could be altered. A case is made for more coursework and alternative forms of submission of research findings. The current dissemination of thesis information is criticised and a call made for better management to benefit readers and geography as a whole. The possibility is canvassed of a wider role for postgraduates in advanc…
Cost, price, and revenue differentials in electricity supply
Queenslanders consume relatively less but pay more for electricity than most Australians, a penalty surprising in a State with the nation's largest sources of energy. An explanation lies in the industry's relative youth and dynamic performance, strong post‐war capitalisation, inherent monopoly organisation and the issue of product differentiation expressed in peak/off‐peak pricing. Such matters pose particular problems in the Queensland market wh…

Australian urban social atlases of the 1976 census
Maps of at least 20 individual census variables now exist for all the major urban areas of Australia due to the work of the Division of National Mapping. Certain cities are examined in far more detail in university-produced publications. In contrast to the NATMAP series, these atlases feature much diversity and may be of lesser technical quality. All the atlases reviewed seem to reflect some uncertainty about their intended purpose or market

Postgraduate training
Regular readers of ARENA will be aware that over the past few years there has been a steady flow of comments and letters relating to the training of graduate students. It seems generally to be agreed that these students have particular problems that most probably result from the supervising faculty's assumption that, in the vacation between graduation and enrolment on the graduate studies programme, such students quite suddenly become as intellec…
Management of Industrial Parks
Industrial parks have aroused high expectations among academics and practitioners. Using the product cycle concept, it is argued that the emphasis should now move from development to ongoing management to maintain park performance. This is illustrated by reference to a mature and successful Australian park: detailed evaluation of location, access, amenity, and zoning suggests changes to physical planning and management potentially beneficial to o…

Strategic Planning for Geography Departments
Strategic planning is a technique from the commercial world which could assist geography departments in adapting to today's more demanding administrative environments and thereby further the development of the discipline. This paper sets out the fundamentals of planning as a prelude to a generic departmental plan. Key inclusions are explained and certain problems of application are discussed, should departments adopt such an approach
