Disaster waste governance
Natural hazard-related disasters are rapidly increasing worldwide. Post-disaster waste management is important as debris impedes access of recovery crews, poses health hazards, increases length of residents’ stay in evacuation centres, and significantly adds to recovery costs. In Australia, waste management in business-as-usual times is the remit of local governments, yet during an emergency event the governance of disasters and disaster waste ma…
Implementing a circular economy in regional Australia
Implementation challenges and the lack of regionally focused interventions are some critiques of circular economy models in the literature. This study examines barriers to adoption of circularity in construction projects through a case study set in the regional town of Alice Springs, Australia, using data from in-depth interviews of various stakeholders (clients, contractors, recyclers etc.). Examining construction waste through a socio-technical…
The efficiency divide
Reducing household electricity consumption is central to climate mitigation and to ensuring that energy transitions are socially equitable. However, households do not have equal capacity to adopt energy-saving measures. This study investigates how income, housing tenure, attitudes, and knowledge shape the adoption of energy-efficiency upgrades and everyday conservation practices in Darwin. Using household survey data, the analysis combines descri…
Do solar energy systems have a mid-life crisis? Valorising renewables and ignoring waste in regional towns in Australia’s Northern Territory
As the use of solar systems as an alternate source of energy increases, so too does the volume of waste from decommissioned systems. While several options have been suggested as solutions for the end of life of solar systems in terms of their component elements in urban regions, there is little discussion of managing waste arising in regional areas where volumes are often below necessary thresholds. This paper discusses why solar energy systems i…
Knowledge intersections
In this special edition of Rural Society, we present a collection of papers developed from a research symposium held in Alice Springs, in November 2019. The symposium, which was established in 2017
Examining the Effects of Ambient Temperature on Pre-Term Birth in Central Australia
Preterm birth (born before 37 completed weeks of gestation) is one of the leading causes of death among children under 5 years of age. Several recent studies have examined the association between extreme temperature and preterm births, but there have been almost no such studies in arid Australia. In this paper, we explore the potential association between exposures to extreme temperatures during the last 3 weeks of pregnancy in a Central Australi…
