  • Trust and Transformation

    Open AccessIis Alviya, Md Sayed Iftekhar et al.ARTICLEBusiness Strategy and the…2026

    Despite global commitments under the Paris Agreement, empirical evidence on the involvement of the land‐based private sector of emerging economies in carbon trading remains limited. The study analyses how behavioural factors and institutional complexities influence the involvement of the land‐based private sector in carbon trading in Indonesia. The data were collected from 150 land‐based business entities in Indonesia using an online survey and a…

  • Gender Differentiated Impacts of Rural Advisory Services on Household and Child Nutrition

    Open AccessKwabena Nyarko Addai, Md Sayed Iftekhar et al.ARTICLESocial Indicators Research2025References: 5

    Gender-based inequalities in agriculture hinder the sector's ability to provide nutritious diets and improve nutritional outcomes, as rural advisory services (RAS) have not equally benefited male and female farmers. We causally decompose household food and child nutrition outcomes across male- and female-headed households based on their access to RAS. We use data from the World Bank's Integrated Household Panel Survey in Malawi for the period 201…

  • Performance of habitat offsets for species conservation in dynamic human‐modified landscapes

    Open AccessJonathan R Rhodes, Yan Liu et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    Biodiversity offsets are a popular policy tool for mitigating the impact of development on biodiversity, but the ecological success of offsets arise from complex interactions among socio‐economic, ecological and policy processes, making outcomes challenging to assess. Many offset policies use habitat surrogates to determine offset requirements, rather than using direct measures of impacted biota, and this can lead to poor outcomes for species. On…

  • Optimal investments in private land conservation depend more on landholder preferences than climate change

    Open AccessBrooke A Williams, Carla L Archibald et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Effective private land conservation strategies that consider both landholder preferences and future climatic conditions are critical for preserving biodiversity and ecosystem services. Yet, the interaction and relative importance of these factors for conservation planning performance is unknown. Here, we assess the importance of considering landholder preferences and climate change for prioritising locations for conservation tenders to recruit la…

  • Conservation auctions for landscape-scale environmental management

    Open AccessChi Nguyen, Uwe Latacz‐Lohmann et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2024References: 4

    How best to achieve spatially-coordinated environmental outcomes using reverse auctions has become a research question of growing interest. This paper makes a first attempt to systematically investigate the combined effects of the spatial configuration of landscape and landholder-to-landholder communication on auction performance in delivering landscape-scale environmental improvements. We provide novel insights into the importance of the regulat…

  • Predictors of the Intention to Participate in Slum Upgrading Projects

    Open AccessMohammad Shahidul Hasan Swapan, Saalem Sadeque et al.ARTICLEUrbanisation2023

    A global shift in urban slum improvement programmes is underway to step beyond the conventional approach by practicing a more participatory approach. Previous studies have found that slum upgrading projects are likely to be ineffective and unsustainable without the active participation of slum dwellers. Therefore, it is imperative to identify the pathways to improve or enhance slum dwellers’ participation in slum upgrading projects. Several studi…

  • Factors Influencing Use–diversity of Urban Parks

    Open AccessMohammad Shahidul Hasan Swapan, Md Sayed Iftekhar et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Urbanization Asia2022

    Urban parks are an essential component of city infrastructure providing multiple ecosystem services. While there are many studies exploring the usage of urban parks within a country, cross-country comparisons are rare. Comparative studies of use–diversity of urban parks between developing and developed countries are almost absent. To address this research gap, we have compared use–diversity of two major urban parks in China (Dufu Cottage in Cheng…

  • Credible biodiversity offsetting needs public national registers to confirm no net loss

    Open AccessHeini Kujala, Monika Maron et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2022

    In the face of the ongoing biodiversity crisis, questions are arising regarding the success, or lack thereof, of biodiversity offset schemes, where biodiversity losses from human development are compensated by producing equitable gains elsewhere. The overarching goal of offsetting is to deliver no net loss (NNL) of biodiversity. Assessing whether offsetting does indeed deliver NNL is, however, challenging because of a lack of clear and reliable i…

  • Small Lot Housing as a Means to Realise Compact Cities

    Mohammad Shahidul Hasan Swapan, Shahed Khan et al.ARTICLEUrban Policy and Research2020

    The means of achieving urban consolidation is extensively discussed in urban planning literature. However, it is not completely clear how consolidation goals could be facilitated by promoting homes on smaller lots. The paper addresses the dichotomy in Perth’s housing market created by strong policy support for apartments and multi-occupancy dwellings whereas there is an overwhelming demand for larger block single-family residences. We interviewed…

  • Dynamics of Urban Disaster Risk Paradigm

    Open AccessMohammad Shahidul Hasan Swapan, Md Ashikuzzaman et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Urbanization Asia2020

    The integration of sustainability principles into disaster management research suggests a shift from traditional expert-driven assessment to a more community-driven process. However, most studies have focused on a generalized and regional assessment of perceived risk. Only a few of them have focused on informal settlements which belong to the most vulnerable communities facing the compound impacts of multiple disasters in urban areas. This raises…

  • The costs and benefits of Redd

    Open AccessAri Rakatama, Ram Pandit et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2017

    The costs and benefits of the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) projects are often reported in isolation. There is a lack of comprehensive understanding of the types of REDD+ costs and benefits reported in the literature. In this paper, we conducted a review of 60 unique REDD+ costs and benefits studies. We found that no single study covers all categories of costs and benefits in a comparable form. A total of 56…

  • Combinatorial Auction Designs for Biodiversity Conservation

    Md Sayed Iftekhar, Atakelty Hailu et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2012

    A conservation auction is a tender mechanism for allocating project contracts among landholders for undertaking environmental conservation activities. Typically, environmental indices (EIs) are used to combine multiple project benefits into an overall score for selecting successful projects. However, higher flexibility and efficiency can be achieved by allowing bidders to offer different combinations of conservation benefits where projects are ev…
