“…Research examining industrial restructuring in these kinds of logging communities provides insights for understanding such events and their impacts in mining resource communities. This potential for crossover is further illustrated by a number of comparative studies examining both timber and mining resource communities (Lucas, 1971;Machlis et al, 1990;Reed, 1995).…”

This article examines Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and mining community development, sustainability and viability. These issues are considered focussing on current and former company owned mining towns in Namibia. Historically company towns have been a feature of mining activity in Namibia. However the fate of such towns upon mine closure has been and remains controversial. Declining former mining communities and even ghost mining towns can be found across the country. This article draws upon research undertaken in Namibia and considers these issues with reference to three case study communities. This article examines the complexities which surround decision-making about these communities, and the challenges faced in efforts to encourage their sustainability after mining. In this article mine company engagements through CSR with the development, sustainability and viability of such communities are also critically discussed. The role, responsibilities, and actions of the state in relation to these communities are furthermore reflected upon. Finally ways forward for these communities are considered.

“…Di Indonesia sendiri telah terjadi peningkatan suhu udara sebesar 0,3 °C sejak tahun 1990. Suhu udara mencapai titik tertinggi pada tahun 1998 yaitu sekitar 1 °C di atas suhu rata-rata tahun 1961-1990(Hulme & Sheard, 1999. Beberapa skenario proyeksi kenaikan suhu udara di Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan konsentrasi CO 2 sebesar dua kali lipat akan diikuti oleh peningkatan suhu udara rata-rata sebesar 3 -4,2 °C (Meiviana, 2004: 20).…”

“…Kerentanan terkait perubahan iklim sangat ditentukan oleh faktor ketergantungan terhadap sumberdaya alam. Ketergantungan sumber daya berkaitan dengan komunitas yang memiliki sistem nafkah yang berfungsi langsung dari produksi sumber daya dan ekonomi lokal (Machlis et al, 1990). Ketergantungan langsung dari komunitas pada ekosistem berpengaruh terhadap resiliensi mereka dan kemampuan untuk menghadapi guncangan, terutama dalam konteks ketahanan pangan dan mengatasi bahaya.…”

ABSTRAKStudi ini dilakukan dengan dua tujuan:(1)mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis pemanfaatan modalmodal dalam praktek strategi nafkah nelayan, dan (2) menganalisis dan menilai resiliensi komunitas nelayan dalam merespon perubahan iklim. Penelitian dilakukan pada komunitas nelayan perikanan tangkap di desa Asilulu, Pulau Ambon Maluku. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui pengamatan berperan serta, focus group discussion, wawancara mendalam dan didukung oleh studi pustaka. Analisis data menggunakan metode analisis data kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat nelayan di Asilulu Pulau Ambon Maluku sudah mengoptimalkan penggunaan modal (modal alami, modal fisik, modal manusia, modal keuangan dan modal sosial) dan aktivitas (ditengahi oleh hubungan sosial dan institusi) dalam membangun sistem nafkah yang diperlukan untuk hidup. Mereka juga telah memodifikasi modal-modal tersebut untuk mereduksi kerentanan dan meningkatkan resiliensi sosialnya. Hasilnya, sistem nafkah yang ada pada satu konteks kekinian, berkelanjutan dan oleh karenanya resilien tetapi dalam konteks ancaman dampak perubahan iklim, resiliensi yang ada adalah resiliensi yang terbatas (limited resilience). Pada skenario iklim yang sangat ekstrim, resiliensi yang berdasar kepada sistem nafkah yang tertekan terus menerus dan masih bergantung kepada sumber daya alam rapuh dan memiliki ambang batas. Kata Kunci: perubahan iklim, adaptasi, strategi nafkah, kerentanan, resiliensi sosial ABSTRACTThe objectives of this study are: (1)

“…Furthering the concept of dependency, resource dependency relates to communities and individuals whose social order, livelihood and stability are directly linked to their resource production and localized economy (Machlis et al 1990). Adger (2000) states the promotion of specialization in economic activities has negative consequences in terms of risk for individuals within communities and for communities themselves.…”

We present the first conceptualization of 'environmental livelihood security' , which combines the nexus perspective with sustainable livelihoods. The geographical focus of this paper is Southeast Asia and Oceania, a region currently wrought by the impacts of a changing climate. Climate change is the primary external forcing mechanism on the environmental livelihood security of communities in Southeast Asia and Oceania which, therefore, forms the applied crux of this paper. Finally, we provide a primer for using geospatial information to develop a spatial framework to enable geographical assessment of environmental livelihood security across the region. We conclude by linking the value of this research to ongoing sustainable development discussions, and for influencing policy agendas. The paper is split into three main parts: P...
