Preservice Geography Students’ Exposure to Systems Thinking and Cooperative Learning in Environmental Education     

Schalk Raath  Anette Hay 《The Journal of geography》2019,118(2):66-76

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a cross-curricular approach that needs to be accommodated in all subjects in the training of students as recommended by UNESCO. This South African case study of preservice geography students is presented for the purpose of understanding how they experienced systems thinking and a cooperative teaching strategy. A qualitative research approach was applied as the research design. Interpretation of the data was done through thematic analysis, which indicated that exposure to the pedagogic approach bore positive results. Teaching and learning strategies promoting the integration of ESD should form part of the training of geography students.  相似文献   

后现代主义对人文地理学发展的影响   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

许然  司徒尚纪 《热带地理》2005,25(3):220-223,227

形成于上世纪70年代的后现代主义对人文地理学发展产生了深刻的影响。对科学技术和理性的反动导致非理性主义的泛滥。从结构主义到后结构主义以及把人文地理学研究当作一个文本解构、阅读和建构的过程为我们提供了新的方法论视野。非理性的人本主义的发展为解决区域问题提供了新的思路;整体的人地观和新区域地理学加强了对地方及历史、文化的重视;后现代思潮对全球和地区问题的关注是可持续发展思想的重要源泉。后现代主义对城市和区域规划的影响主要可归结为个性化、多元化和人本化趋势。  相似文献

云南石屏县地质灾害特征及成灾规律研究     

宋国虎  李强  王灿  向波 《云南地质》2020,(1):110-117

云南石屏县地处云南高原南缘,县域总体地势北高南低,倾向红河河谷,地质构造复杂,地质环境条件比较脆弱。经实地调查,其地质灾害的类型主要有滑坡、崩塌和泥石流,这些地质灾害点大多沿断裂带集中分布。石屏县山高坡陡的地形地貌是地质灾害发生的重要控制因素,雨季的强降雨及人类生产活动常常是地质灾害产生的诱发因素。  相似文献   

开发区工业用地效率评价与提升策略——以临沂市典型开发区为例     

王飞  徐芳勤 《山东国土资源》2018,34(6)

开发区作为城市工业集中、产业集聚的核心区域,成为带动地区乃至更大区域经济增长的引擎,但在其快速扩张的过程中,开发区工业用地问题也日益凸显。该研究基于DEA方法,构建开发区用地效率评价的基本模型,以临沂市4个典型开发区为例,采用2009年、2011年和2013年三轮数据,对研究区工业用地效率进行测算。评价结果显示,临沂市典型开发区工业用地效率较低,但工业用地效率总体呈上升趋势,各开发区之间工业用地效率有较大差异,不同性质企业间用地效率的差异也较大。通过工业用地效率评价揭示出开发区工业用地与其他生产要素配比失衡、产业格局不利于土地资源的高效利用、提升用地效率的主动性和前瞻性不足、对低效用地缺乏有效的动态监管等问题。针对上述问题,该文最终有针对性地提出提升开发区工业用地效率的策略。  相似文献   

What happens after climate change adaptation projects end: A community-based approach to ex-post assessment of adaptation projects     

《Global Environmental Change》2023

Over the last decade, hundreds of climate change adaptation projects have been funded and implemented. Despite the importance of these first-generation adaptation projects for establishing funders and implementors’ “best practices,” very little is known about how early adaptation projects have endured, to what ends, and for whom. In this article, I propose a community-based methodology for ex-post assessment of climate change adaptation projects. This methodology contributes to recognitional justice by asking the individuals and collectives tasked with sustaining adaptation initiatives to define adaptation success and what criteria for success should be assessed. I apply this subjective assessment approach in 10 communities across Ecuador that participated in an internationally funded adaptation project that concluded in 2015. My analysis draws together participatory mapping, walking interviews with local leaders, participant observation, and surveys with former project participants. The results highlight that even adaptation projects that were deemed highly successful at their closure have uncertain futures. I find that the sustainability mechanisms that were envisioned by project implementors have not functioned, and communities are shouldering the burden of reviving failing adaptation interventions. These findings highlight that the current model of episodic funding for climate change adaptation projects and evaluation processes needs to be revisited to acknowledge the long-term challenges faced by communities. This analysis also calls attention to the importance of ex-post assessment for adaptation projects and the potential of subjective assessment approaches for building more ontological and epistemological pluralism in understandings of successful climate change adaptation.  相似文献

The impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on a network of 276 international organizations     

《Global Environmental Change》2022

Global sustainability governance is marked by a highly fragmented system of distinct clusters of international organizations, along with states and other actors. Enhancing inter-organizational coordination and cooperation is thus often recognized as an important reform challenge in global sustainability governance. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals, agreed by the United Nations in 2015, thus explicitly aim at advancing policy coherence and institutional integration among the myriad international institutions. Yet, have these goals been effective in this regard? We assess here the impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on the network structure of 276 international organizations in the period 2012–2019, that is, four years before and four years after the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals. The network structure was approximated by analyzing data from the websites of these 276 international organizations that were joined by more than 1.5 million hyperlinks, which we collected using a custom-made web crawler. Our findings are contrary to what is widely expected from the Sustainable Development Goals: we find that fragmentation has in fact increased after the Sustainable Development Goals came into effect. In addition, silos are increasing around the 17 SDGs as well as around the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.  相似文献   

Evaluating the benefits of national adaptation to reduce climate risks and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals     

《Global Environmental Change》2022

Scaling up national climate adaptation under the Paris Agreement is critical not only to reduce risk, but also to contribute to a nation’s development. Traditional adaptation assessments are aimed at evaluating adaptation to cost-effectively reduce risk and do not capture the far-reaching benefits of adaptation in the context of development and the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By grounding adaptation planning in an SDG vision, we propose and demonstrate a methodological process that for the first time allows national decision-makers to: i) quantify the adaptation that is needed to safeguard SDG target progress, and ii) evaluate strategies of stakeholder-driven adaptation options to meet those needs whilst delivering additional SDG target co-benefits. This methodological process is spatially applied to a national adaptation assessment in Ghana. In the face of the country’s risk from floods and landslides, this analysis identifies which energy and transport assets to prioritise in order to make the greatest contribution to safeguarding development progress. Three strategies (‘built’, ‘nature-based’, ‘combined SDG strategy’) were formulated through a multi-stakeholder partnership involving government, the private sector, and academia as a means to protect Ghana’s prioritised assets against climate risk. Evaluating these adaptation strategies in terms of their ability to deliver on SDG targets, we find that the combined SDG strategy maximises SDG co-benefits across 116 targets. The proposed methodological process for integrating SDG targets in adaptation assessments is transferable to other climate-vulnerable nations, and can provide decision-makers with spatially-explicit evidence for implementing sustainable adaptation in alignment with the global agendas.  相似文献
