Sustainability of Social-Ecological Systems
Social-Ecological Systems
Systems are adpative and forever changing
Integrate environmental and social components
Analysis of their interactions
In order to understand these systems you need to understand thier interactions and affect on eachother
Very complex systems
The 4 "core subsystems"
Resource systems (RS)
Physical systems: forests, fisheries etc.
Governace systems (GS)
Institutions that manage these systems
Resource units (RU)
Indiviudal units of resource systems: trees, fish etc.
Users (U)
People that interact with the system
Interactions and Outcomes
What are they?
Interactions between the 4 core subsystems and
what happens as a result of these interactions
Examples
Interactions
Investement activities
Self organizing actvities
Informaton sharing amongst users
Outcomes
Efficency
Sustainability
Overharvesting
How might they work?
For example sustainability practices
can lead to resource regeneration
Links between second level
variables and core systems
RS3
The larger the system is the harder it is to regulate
U1
Number of users can impact transaction costs,
increase in coordination challenges and action
GS5
Knowledge of the system dynamica and
resource can make governance more efective
