“…Thus, the decisions to out migrate from country side in the study areas are primarily made by individual migrants, while the roles of parents in inducing rural out migration of family members are still higher than that of friends and relatives. This finding is also in agreement with the results obtained by Gerritsen et al (2013), Habtamu (2015), and Young (2013).…”

This study examined the central characteristics of migrants and determinants of rural-urban migration in Southern Ethiopia based on snow ball sampling and a survey of 665 sample migrants using descriptive and econometric analysis. The results of this study showed that 76.2% of the migrants left their home at age ranges between 15 and 25 years. Similarly, it was found that 48% of the migrants were attending junior education level, while 28 and 13% of the migrants were attending secondary and primary education levels, respectively. Moreover, 80% of migrants in the study area were not married as at the time of their migration. In addition, the study found that the main reasons for rural-urban migration in the study areas were better jobs opportunities in the urban areas (44%), rural poverty (26%), search for further education (10%), starting new business (8%), to be free from restrictive culture (8%) and better urban services (4%). The regression analysis of the Probit model indicated that age, years of schooling, relatives at receiving areas, monthly income at sending areas and family size significantly affect rural-urban migration. Policies aimed at reducing rural-urban migration should focus on creating viable farm and non-farm activities for rural unbanked youth.

“…While this concept has a distinct interpretation in organizational economics as an approach to maximizing knowledge transactions to improve organizational efficiency [32], the analytical form of co-production we are discussing here is more closely aligned with the critical lens of socio-political approaches described in van Kerkhoff [33]. Specifically, like knowledge governance approaches, co-production analyzes direct attention to the formal and informal rules, conventions, and networks of actors that shape the ways we approach knowledge processes, such as creating, sharing, accessing, and using knowledge [33][34][35][36]. Similarly, knowledge governance focuses on a broader level than the project-based use of knowledge co-production through joint knowledge efforts or boundary management, to what van Kerkhoff describes as the middle layer where the institutional 'rules of the game' shape the possibilities and choices available to decision-makers and organizations.…”

Understanding and transforming how cities think is a crucial part of developing effective knowledge infrastructures for the Anthropocene. In this article, we review knowledge co-production as a popular approach in environmental and sustainability science communities to the generation of useable knowledge for sustainability and resilience. We present knowledge systems analysis as a conceptual and empirical framework for understanding existing co-production processes as preconditions to the design of new knowledge infrastructures in cities. Knowledge systems are the organizational practices and routines that make, validate, communicate, and apply knowledge. The knowledge systems analysis framework examines both the workings of these practices and routines and their interplay with the visions, values, social relations, and power dynamics embedded in the governance of building sustainable cities. The framework can be useful in uncovering hidden relations and highlighting the societal foundations that shape what is (and what is not) known by cities and how cities can co-produce new knowledge with meaningful sustainability and resilience actions and transformations. We highlight key innovations and design philosophies that we think can advance research and practice on knowledge co-production for urban sustainability and resilience.

“…A "mode of governance" refers to the underlying logic and coordinative principles that can be recognized in governance processes. In this paper we distinguish between five modes of governance: hierarchy, network, market [9][10][11], self-governance [12], and knowledge [13,14]. These modes of governance are ideal types for analytical purposes only, whereas real life is a lot fuzzier.…”

The Governance of Multi-Use Platforms at Sea for Energy Production and Aquaculture: Challenges for Policy Makers in European Seas

et al. 2016

European seas are encountering an upsurge in competing marine activities and infrastructures. Traditional exploitation such as fisheries, tourism, transportation, and oil production are accompanied by new sustainable economic activities such as offshore windfarms, aquaculture, and tidal and wave energy. One proposed solution to overcome possible competing claims at sea lies in combining these economic activities as part of Multi-Use Platforms at Sea (MUPS). MUPS can be understood as areas at sea, designated for a combination of activities, either completely integrated in a platform or in shared marine space. MUPS can potentially benefit from each other in terms of infrastructure, maintenance, etc. Developing MUPS in the marine environment demands adequate governance. In this article, we investigate four European sites to find out how governance arrangements may facilitate or complicate MUPs. In particular, we apply a framework specifying
