In Arctic and northern communities, livelihoods and land use depend
heavily on natural resources. Decision-making processes around the
use of natural resources are often contested and given their
importance to these communities the participation of local
stakeholders is vital. This timely book presents practices that
have been developed with key stakeholders to improve the collection
and utilization of locally relevant knowledge in land use planning.
Chapters illustrate how indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) can be
made spatially explicit by using, for example, participatory GIS.
Focusing on countries including Greenland, Iceland, Faroe Islands,
Ireland, Finland, Norway and Sweden, this book pays particular
attention to the recognized challenges of these regions, including
the relationships between local and national actors and indigenous
and other local populations.Sharing Knowledge for Land Use
Management will be a key resource for students and researchers of
geography, planning, regional and tourism studies as well as
planning authorities and consultants, offering new ideas and tools
for the inclusion of local knowledge in decision making processes.
This book examines the multiple ways in which rural regions in
Europe are being restructured through globalization and the
regional development responses that they have adopted. It provides
an understanding of the key challenges and opportunities for rural
regions arising from the major economic, social, political and
cultural changes associated with globalization, including trade
liberalization and economic deregulation, increased international
migration, and the rise of global consciousness about environmental
issues. Drawing on examples and findings from a major European
research project, DERREG, the book presents detailed case studies
of ten regions in different parts of Europe, exploring the factors
that lead to different experiences of globalization in each of the
regions, and highlighting examples of good practice in regional
development responses. The book concludes by proposing a typology
of regional responses to globalization and considering the policy
implications of the research findings. As such, 'Globalization and
Europe's Rural Regions' is important reading for geographers,
sociologists, planners and economists interested in understanding
the impact of globalization in rural regions, and for rural
development professionals seeking to mobilize effective responses.
By examining a range of experiences from both the north and south
of Ireland, this book asks what the ideal of sustainable
development might mean to specific rural groups and how sustainable
development goals have been pursued across the policy spectrum. It
assesses the extent of commitment to a living countryside in
Ireland and compares various opportunities and obstacles to the
actual achievement of sustainable rural development. How different
sectors of rural society will be challenged in terms of future
survival provides an overarching theme throughout.
