Towards operationalisation of ‘Europeanisation’ at the sub-national level
Fisheries area-based partnerships in European multilevel governance
Modelling Mobility of Hunter-Gatherer Populations
Understanding mobility of past hunter-gatherer populations requires dynamic approaches which incorporate uncertainty. Least cost models assume complete knowledge of the terrain on the part of the traveller, while ethnographic examples tend to be specific to the groups and territories studied. Most least cost models also assume that origin points, destination points, or both, are known in advance, limiting their utility for exploring movement pote…
Feasibility of woodland expansion for carbon offsetting in Scotland revisited
Future climate risks to world cultural heritage sites in Spain
Rapidly advancing anthropogenic climate change is a severe threat to cultural heritage worldwide. World cultural heritage sites (WCHS) are recognized by UNESCO as having outstanding international importance. Identifying and quantifying the impacts of climate change on the WCHS is therefore crucial for the development of long-term protection policies. Spain, the subject of the present study, is one of the most important world heritage countries in…
Social innovation and global citizenship
In this paper, we examine the relationship of global citizenship to social innovation and propose a set of guiding principles to facilitate sustainable, just and democratic energy transitions in cities. We applied a participatory research approach beginning with interviews with stakeholders with expertise in citizenship, participation, or energy research and policy to develop search criteria, which were used to create a shortlist of 20 European c…
Community Landscape Preferences for Reuse of Soviet-Era Post-Agricultural Brownfields-What's the Difference
Reuse preferences for post-agricultural brownfields on former socialist agricultural premises in CEE countries are likely to be diverse and may depend on communities' experiences. Our research question is to reveal, through a questionnaire survey of 774 respondents from 180 communities, the difference in reuse preferences among communities with different experiences: communities where former collective farm sites had been abandoned (leaving a pos…
Simulating large-scale urban land-use patterns and dynamics using the U-Net deep learning architecture
Barking up the wrong tree? Can forest expansion help meet climate goals
Forest expansion can make an important contribution to the 2015 Paris Agreement, through offsetting Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. EU, UK and Scottish forest policy encourages substantial forest expansion. Unfortunately, policy is still inadequately informed by high resolution data, and often assumes a fairly homogenous landscape, uniformly suitable soil types and idealised ‘average’ tree timber yields, while carbon emissions caused by soil dist…
Guiding cities under increased droughts
Climate change is likely to increase droughts. The vulnerability of cities to droughts is increasing worldwide. Policy responses from cities to droughts lack consideration of long-term climatic and socio-economic scenarios, and focus on short-term emergency actions that disregard sustainability in the connected regional and river basin systems. We aim to explore the dynamics of the water-energy-land nexus in urban systems suffering increased clim…
Whose Narrative is it Anyway? Narratives of Social Innovation in Rural Areas - A Comparative Analysis of Community-Led Initiatives in Scotland and Spain
Social innovation is a process in which local communities build social and cultural capital to address challenges and social needs. The diffusion of social innovation requires compelling narratives that encourage people to join them. Using qualitative techniques and a multiple case study methodology, this article examines the content of narratives of social innovation in rural areas and how actors construct, spread and change them. We propose a n…
Towards automatic calibration of neighbourhood influence in cellular automata land-use models
Cellular Automata (CA) land-use models are widely used for understanding processes of land-use change. However, calibration of these models is a knowledge-intensive and time-consuming process. Although calibration of common driving factors such as accessibility (A), or suitability (S) is a relatively straightforward task, calibrating the neighbourhood dynamics (N), which controls the key model behaviour, is often very challenging. Here, building …
Social Innovation in Community Energy in Europe
Citizen-driven Renewable Energy (RE) projects of various kinds, known collectively as community energy (CE), have an important part to play in the worldwide transition to cleaner energy systems. On the basis of evidence from 8 European countries, we investigate CE, over approximately the last 50 years (c.1970-2018), through the lens of Social Innovation (SI). We carry out a detailed review of literature around the social dimension of renewable en…
Innovation in the use of wood energy in the Ukrainian Carpathians
Rose diagrams and statistical tests for archaeological orientation data
Archaeologists and other fieldworkers frequently record the orientation of artefacts or faunal remains in order to understand depositional and post-depositional processes. However, analysis of this kind of data is complex and not always well-understood by investigators. For example, rose diagrams are commonly used to display orientation data. While rose diagrams are a useful and intuitive way of visualizing the data, they are not on their own suf…
