Governing sustainable tourism: the relevance of boundary judgments
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 8 › Nr. 5 Abstract
Worldwide, tourism is the fastest growing major industry, but not all consequences are positive. This has lead to a growing attention for �sustainable tourism’. Compared to international guidelines, the current governance for sustainable tourism in the Netherlands proves to be very weak. Is this just because of stakeholders’ interests and their motivation to protect and conserve, on the one hand, or just encourage growth, on the other? We find some support for this, but also fi...

Reorganization of water and waste water management in Romania: From local to regional water governance
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 8 › Nr. 5 Abstract
Romania’s drinking water and wastewater sector is currently going through a process of regionalization. This process involves a replacement of a local-focused governance structure by a regional-focused governance structure. The objective of this paper is to explore and explain this regionalization from a governance perspective. In two case studies, the situation before and after the regionalization are investigated. Analyses of the case studies show that the local-focused governanc... Autori: Joanne Vinke-de Kruijf, Valentina Dinica, Denie C.M.

STREET LITTER REDUCTION PROGRAMS IN THE NETHERLANDS: REFLECTIONS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUTCH LITTER REDUCTION PROGRAM FOR 2007 – 2009. LESSONS FROM A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 12 › Nr. 8 AbstractOn a daily basis one is confronted with litter. Most forms of litter are, however, of no concern to people. Nonetheless, litteraccounts for serious economic costs, and causes negative effects to health, safety and biodiversity. Most countries implementlitter reduction policy programs, often in the form of litter collection and penalties for littering. Litter reduction does notnecessarily have to be a government initiative as grassroots and business initiatives have shown; for instance, c...

INTEGRATING ADAPTIVE LEARNING INTO ADAPTIVE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 13 › Nr. 7 AbstractAdaptive water resources management recognizes the centrality of learning to its effective implementation. However, theliterature on learning in Adaptive Management (AM) is disjointed and lacks rigorous treatment. The purpose of this paper is toclarify how learning associated with AM is distinctive and to explain the importance of successfully integrating it into policydesign. Because adaptive learning holds a unique position within the adaptive management and assessment process, it shou...

PLANNED AND AUTONOMOUS ACTIONS: BELGRADE WATERFRONT ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 14 › Nr. 1 Abstract
There is broad consensus that adaptation to climate change is necessary and urgent. Numerous documents and guidelines are
available that provide advice on how to incorporate climate hazards and risks into spatial policies on the global, European and
national scale. The experiences of less developed countries have shown that, rather than simply cascading uniform procedures,
methods and techniques of adaptation down from higher to lower levels of governance, a realistic approach calls... Autori: Nada Lazarevic Bajec ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=26612
CITIZEN OBSERVATORIES AS FACILITATORS OF CHANGE IN WATER GOVERNANCE? EXPERIENCES FROM THREE EUROPEAN CASES
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 14 › Nr. 9 Abstract
In citizen observatories, the observations, insights and involvement of 'ordinary' citizens - alongside those of scientists and
professionals - can be included in earth observation, environmental conservation as well as decision making. Facilitated by
information and communication technologies (ICTs), such ICT-enabled citizen observatories have the potential to generate
fundamental changes to existing governance structures. Based on an action research approach in three Europ... Autori: Uta Wehn ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=26831
