“…Nevertheless, the lack of sustained capacity and expertise among local authorities can be regarded as one of the key barriers to effective coastal and natural resources management in general (Buono et al, 2012;Le Tissier and Hills, 2010). Within the PEGASO project the capacity building plan was developed as a three tiers approach, consisting in the development of guidelines on participation methods for ICZM, the organization of on-site participation training and the dissemination of experiences and lessons learned through the project Coastal wiki.…”

“…This also requires an administrative body which takes the responsibility for implementing and monitoring the process of strategic, regional land-use planning and managing the communication between stakeholders and the different administrations. Managing the communication process requires selecting appropriate levels and methods of participation, fitting the purpose and need for communication [47,48]. Currently, conflicting interests between different administrations are hindering the process toward a more sustainable land-use development [10], requiring approaches that enable to resolve these conflicts.…”

A Spatial Optimization Model for Sustainable Land Use at Regional Level in China: A Case Study for Poyang Lake Region

et al. 2014

Economic growth in China is accompanied by many problems, such as rapid deterioration of the environment and a sharp decline in the area of arable land. China's current land-use planning system fails to deal with these problems, especially at the regional level. The lack of sustainable spatial allocation at regional level has become a pressing problem. This article aims to: (1) analyze the reason why sustainable land use at the regional level is difficult to achieve under the current Chinese land-use planning system; (2) put forward a regional optimization model for sustainable land use; and (3) explore the usefulness and possibility of the future application of the model in supporting land-use planning. The model has been applied in a case study for the Poyang Lake Region, Jiangxi Province in China. Based on predictions of the demand of land in 2015, three single-objective scenarios were constructed: food production oriented, nature conservation oriented and economic growth oriented. An optimized, multi-objective pattern of sustainable land use was achieved by integrating the three single-objective scenarios. The relevance and applicability of the model were discussed with planning experts and practitioners. The results indicate that the model can contribute to a more sustainable regional land-use planning in China. However, the results also show a need for further research on how to embed wider social and economic aspects in the model. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 36

Governance of protected areas is a rapidly growing research field as new actors rather than governments play crucial roles in decision-making processes, and new forms and mechanisms of decision-making complement existing regulations. However, little is known about the key characteristics of new forms of protected area governance and how they differ from older governance concepts. In this paper we use the example of newly established regional nature parks in Switzerland to address similarities and differences between new and older concepts of governance, and to address similarities and differences between different regional practices of new protected area governance across Switzerland. Drawing on different empirical sources and methods, our findings reveal diverse governance practices of regional nature parks in Switzerland. We identified three forms of park organization: (i) organized as association; (ii) parks affiliated to single municipalities; and (iii) parks associated with a regional development bodies. Different governance practices also result from different forms of regional embeddedness between top-down and bottom-up approaches and the related tensions.
