“…Even though the notion reflects the opportunities for the elderly people to benefit from the cultural ecosystem services provided by the blue areas next to their homes, simultaneously the findings raise a challenge related to the living environment of children and adolescents, whose homes are remarkably less located in the vicinity of urban blue. However, these both groups, young and old, benefit from affordances and amenities in their closest neighborhood, especially for their holistic (psycho-somatic and social) health and well-being (Kaplan 1995;Antonovsky 1996;Depledge & Bird 2009;Haubenhofer et al 2010;Korpela et al 2010;White et al 2010White et al , 2013von Hertzen et al 2011;Fleming et al 2014). This discrepancy between various age groups in living conditions illustrates more generally the need to pay attention to those population groups that mostly benefit and/or are especially challenging and vulnerable in terms of the accessibility and use of urban nature, and to develop methods to integrate their perceptions, need and practices into land use planning and governance.…”

In this paper, we identify patterns of distributive environmental justice in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area (HMA) in terms of spatial proximity of urban waters, as a potential provider of a diverse set of environmental goods and well-being. Our focus is on the question how equally these benefits are distributed in HMA? To answer this we apply a GIS-based clustering analysis with spatial statistics to map the good and deprived access of different socio-economic and demographic groups to urban blue. We use income, education, language and age as factors to delineate residential areas and found not only differences in how various population groups are located in the four different municipalities of the HMA, but also differences in group distances to the nearest water areas. Results show that high income and high educational background, Swedish language and high age are factors more frequently related to living closer to water areas. At the same time, children, foreigners, and people having lower economic status tend to live further away from urban blue. This is important knowledge to be integrated into urban planning. The recognition of lacking opportunities suggests more consideration towards these aforementioned population groups to reduce inequality and to ensure just distribution of accessible and usable urban nature in the HMA.

“…Sumber sampah laut lain wisata pantai, aktivitas nelayan, sampah permukiman, dan industri yang berdampak secara ekologis, ekonomis, dan kesehatan (NOAA, 2013). Ancaman sampah di lingkungan laut menjadi penting karena memiliki resiko dampak terhadap manusia (Farrell dan Nelson, 2013) yang disebabkan ada interaksi antara laut dan manusia (Fleming at al., 2014) maupun melalui mekanisme transfer dari sumber makanan, seperti ikan dan moluska (Willoughby, 1997). Selain itu, sampah laut seperti plastik mempengaruhi jumlah biota (Uneputty dan Evans, 1997) dan diduga agen terhadap penyakit terumbu karang (Harrison et al, 2011).…”

Abstrak. Tujuan pengabdian Kuliah Kerja Nyata -Pembelajaran dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (KKN-PPM) ini adalah memberdayakan masyarakat agar memiliki kapasitas sehingga dapat menjadi bagian dari pengelolaan pulau wisata Camba-cambang. dan meningkatkan kemampuan mahasiswa dalam melaksanakan pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Pendekatan pemberdayaan yang digunakan adalah participatory rural appraisal, participatory tecnology development, dan community development dengan metode pelatihan, demonstrasi plot, dan pendampingan. Program kerja yang dilaksanakan dinamakan Catur Program Kerja, yaitu :(1) Pengembangan fish apartment, (2) Diversifikasi olahan hasil perikanan dan desain kemasan, (3) Penanganan sampah plastik, dan (4) Budidaya sistem IMTA. Operasional kegiatan meliputi koordinasi dan sosialisasi, penyiapan administrasi, pelaksanaan panca program kerja, serta monitoring dan evaluasi. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan instrumen pre test dan post test serta pengamatan dan penilaian kinerja. Program KKN-PPM di lingkar pulau wisata Camba-cambang dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kelompok sasaran yang terdiri dari nelayan dan pembudidaya, ibu-ibu rumah tangga dan remaja putri, organisasi pemuda, siswa sekolah dan anak-anak putus sekolah. Kelompok sasaran telah meningkat pengetahuan dan keterampilannya dalam memanfaatkan potensi sumberdaya pulau, khususnya yang terkait dengan catur program kerja. Program pengabdiaan KKN-PPM ini juga dapat meningkatkan kompetensi teknis mahasiswa dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat.

An Emerging Paradigm for the UNESCO Global Geoparks: The Ecosystem’s Health Provision

During the 38th General Conference of UNESCO, the Member States ratified the creation of the International Geoscience and Geoparks Programme (IGGP) expressing governmental recognition of the importance of managing outstanding geological sites and landscapes in a holistic manner. In this context, the importance of human interactions with the natural environment to promote healthy lifestyles was primarily a response to the need to preserve and enhance the value of the UNESCO Global Geoparks as well as highlighting their usefulness for the sustainable development of local populations. The aim of this paper is to suggest an interdisciplinary approach to be applied to UNESCO Global Geoparks for a standardized survey and grading methodology that can be used to assess the ability to provide and promote healthy lifestyles, which is called the Ecosystem’s Health Provision Spectrum (EHPS) on an ecological scale. The suggested EHPS is in line with UNESCO’s priorities, in particular with the IGGP and its motto of “Geosciences in the Service of Society”. Therefore, the EHPS on an ecological scale will be another important tool for the UNESCO Global Geoparks, facilitating efficient management and promoting economic development, wellbeing and health.
