Vamos a dedicar este artículo a exponer algunos aspectos de los pequeños y medianos sistemas de riego autogestionados que aún existen en muchas partes del mundo y que conciben el agua como un bien común, diferenciándose de aquellos otros en los que es un recurso privado controlado individualmente. Se trata de regadíos de larga historia que han llegado a nuestros días no como restos del pasado, sino como sistemas que continúan cumpliendo funciones socioeconómicas y medioambientales esenciales. Son auténticos tesoros culturales que hay que estudiar, apoyar y preservar no solo por su valor cultural, sino también por sus roles económicos, sociales y ecológicos.

Water shortages in rice production represent a formidable challenge for the world’s food, economic, and social security. Water is the most important single component for sustainable rice growth, especially in the world’s traditional rice-growing areas. Therefore, this study attempts to evaluate the improvement of rice water productivity in Northern Iran on the basis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. This study is a qualitative-descriptive survey. A random sampling method was used to determine the sample size, and finally, 105 male and female rural facilitators in Sari city (the capital of Mazandaran Province located in Northern Iran) were surveyed. The results showed that the development of appropriate infrastructure, increasing new irrigation and drainage networks with the aim of increasing the use of efficient water technologies, was the most important strategy. The most necessary strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to improve the water productivity and management of paddy farms in the study area are, respectively, as follows: “fertile paddy fields and relatively good soils in most areas”, “weakness in the participation and interaction of users in water resources projects and paying attention only to the physical development of irrigation networks and ignoring the issues of network operation and farmers’ participation in the management”, “improving irrigation planning”, and “surplus harvest from Tajan River and drop in water level”. Obtained findings may be used to address water scarcity and water quality management issues in the agriculture sector. The results demonstrate that, under potential climate change and water shortages, SWOT may be seen as a guide for contingency initiatives.

“…This issue appears to undermine the future adaptive capacity of tourism destination communities. Previous studies on the influence of local knowledge on community perceptions and response to climate change highlight the role of local institutions in documenting and facilitating the transmission of traditional knowledge (Ford et al, 2009;McNamara & Westoby, 2011;Ounvichit, 2011). For example, McNamara and Westoby (2011) found that documenting and sharing local knowledge about how to deal with environmental changes helped elders from Erub Island in the Torres Strait, Australia to share information with younger generations (McNamara & Westoby, 2011).…”

The influence of learning on a tourism destination community’s responses to the impacts of climate change

Climate change presents significant challenges for the sustainability of the tourism sector. Tourism destinations in developing countries have been identified as the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change; however, little is known about the situation of climate change and the tourism sector in the developing world, despite the relative importance of tourism to the local economies. Building adaptive capacity is important to increase the capability of the local destination community stakeholders to manage the impacts of climate change on their business and on the broader destination. Considerable adaptation research has been conducted; however, adaptation discourses in the tourism sector are still predominantly focused on responding to the predicted impacts of future climate change rather than addressing the underlying factors that affect the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of tourism destinations and local community stakeholders. Recent research in social ecological systems has indicated that learning is an essential aspect of building adaptive capacity. In this context, social learning is emerging as an adaptation approach that addresses issues hindering adaptation, such as a lack of knowledge and awareness, and encourages a proactive response by human systems to climate change. Underpinned by the theories of climate change adaptation and social learning, this research seeks to understand the influence of learning on a destination community's responses to the impacts of climate change. The aim of this research was supported by four interrelated research objectives: 1) to examine community knowledge of climate change, 2) to identify the sources of information utilised by the community to construct climate change knowledge and the spaces used for knowledge sharing and learning, 3) to assess how local destination community stakeholders have applied their existing knowledge to adapt to climate change, and 4) to identify and assess the factors influencing the capacity of local destination stakeholders to learn to adapt to climate change. This research employed a qualitative, constructivist methodology to investigate the research issue in the context of the city of Hoi An, a well-known tourism destination in Vietnam. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 54 participants who represented a broad range of local destination community stakeholders (i.e., local government authorities, tourism businesses, residents, community-based organisations) and expert stakeholders who have knowledge about the scope of this research. The thesis reveals the following key findings. The overall conclusion is that the responses of Hoi An community stakeholders to the impacts of climate change are strongly determined by their perceptions of the importance of climate change to their businesses and to the broader destination; their ability to v Publications during candidature Conference abstracts and papers Pham, T.
