Trygghet genom stadsdelsomvandling : utvecklingen av Berga centrum, Linköping by Sahlman, Frida

Social-ecological indicators of resilience in agrarian and natural landscapes by Oudenhoven, F.J.W. van, Mijatović, Dunja, Eyzaguirre, Pablo B.

“…The purpose of this paper is to present an approach aimed at facilitating nature conservation that builds on the ecological and social synergies that exist in traditionally managed landscapes in and around protected areas and integrates conservation and social goals to achieve a reduction in the levels of marginalization of indigenous and local communities while preventing ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss.Drawing on literature research and insights from political and historical ecology and systems theory, a framework was developed to aid the understanding of human‐environment interactions taking place in traditionally managed ecosystems and landscapes and to monitor the role that these interactions play in the maintenance of such systems.Virtually all ecosystems and landscapes must be seen as coupled social‐ecological systems whose ability to respond to stresses and change derives from ecological and social characteristics, as well as from the link between these natural and human components. …”
