Leverage points for transformative change towards nature inclusivity on Bonaire and Aruba
Transformative change for a just and sustainable world is urgent to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and climate change. Identifying leverage points for transformative change is crucial but difficult due to the complexity and interconnectedness of systems, compounded by uncertainty and diverse stakeholder views. This study identifies critical leverage points and levers for a nature‐inclusive future in Bonaire and Aruba, small islands with socio…
Next-generation information to support a sustainable course for European forests
Co-designing a data platform to impact nature policy and management: Experiences from the Dutch Caribbean
To secure the sustainable use of nature, governments track nature’s health and develop regulations and policies. Although there is a seeming abundance in observation-recordings, decision- and policy-makers are constrained by the lack of data and indicators, mostly as a result of barriers preventing existing data from being found, accessed, made suitable for (automated) processing and reused, but also due to missing visualisations targeted at answ…
The social side of spatial decision support systems: Investigating knowledge integration and learning
Spatial decision support systems (SDSS) represent a step forward in efforts to account for the spatial dimension in environmental decision-making. The aim of SDSS is to help policymakers and practitioners access, interpret and understand information from data, analyses and models, and guide them in identifying possible actions during a decision-making process. Researchers, however, report difficulties in up-take of SDSS by the intended users. Som…
QUICKScan as a quick and participatory methodology for problem identification and scoping in policy processes
Policy making is required in cases in which a public good needs to be either maintained or created, and private or civil initiatives cannot deal alone with this. Policy making thus starts with a phase of problem identification and determining whether there is a problem that needs to be dealt with. Rapidly evolving contexts exert influence on policy makers who have to take decisions much faster and more accurately than in the past, also facing gre…
Journalists’ twitter networks, public debates and relationships in South Africa
Journalists at major media houses in South Africa use Twitter as a journalistic tool for crowd sourcing, breaking news events, live blogging and to balance, check and cultivate sources. This paper analyses the use of the social network platform by the top 500 South African journalists. The findings suggest that pluralism and openness are important characteristics of the South African Twitter network. Although two strong sub-networks can be detect…
Twitter Links Between Politicians and Journalists
This article analyses a Twitter network of 150 Dutch journalists and politicians in 2010 and shows that Twitter networks have an underlying structure that is more detailed than one would expect from a simple list of followers and following. In-Degree (followers) measures a users' popularity as a news source and Out-Degree (following) measures openness and newsgathering by users and give insights into the structure of this underlying network. Also…
Making Convergence Work in the Newsroom: A Case Study of Convergence of Print, Radio, Television and Online Newsrooms at the African Media Matrix in South Africa During the National Arts Festival
The process of convergence has had significant effects on and consequences for the working habits and roles of journalists. This article, based on observations at The Times and Die Burger, and on a convergence experiment at The School of Journalism at Rhodes University, will focus on this impact. Convergence has transformed the journalist from `a lonely wolf' into a (multimedia) team player. Enhancing at the same time the limits of decision makin…
