SUMMARY Habitat banking and tradable development rights (TDR) have gained considerable currency as a way of achieving ‘no net loss’ biodiversity reconciling nature conservation with economic goals. This paper reviews the use these instruments for assesses their roles in policy mix. The two are compared terms effectiveness, cost social impact, institutional context legal requirements. role mix is discussed highlighting sequential relationships, well complementarities or synergies, redundancy...
Interactions between people and ecological systems, through leisure or tourism activities, form a complex socio-ecological spatial network. The analysis of the benefits derive from their interactions with nature—also referred to as cultural ecosystem services (CES)—enables better understanding these systems. In age information, increasing availability large social media databases enables at an unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution. Within this context, we model analyze based on...
Abstract Against the background of ongoing biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, there is a need for more conservation efforts at all governance levels that also take into account needs subnational governments, cities other local authorities. This paper presents rationale including ecological indicators in intergovernmental fiscal transfers redistribute public revenue from national regional state governments to decentralised governments. Although recommended introduction number...
Abstract Biodiversity conservation policies have relied on regulatory approaches, such as the designation of protected areas, which generally been insufficient to ensure long‐term conservation. This is partially explained by mismatch between those who bear costs and benefit from While local actors, private public, face management opportunity due policies, benefits reach beyond borders. In this paper, we argue that a successful biodiversity policy mix should include economic instruments...
Mapping of ecosystem services (ES) is a powerful tool for communication and knowledge sharing about the implications management practices human wellbeing. This research aimed to show usefulness ES mapping decision-making by combining modelling supply with demand in participatory process engagement relevant stakeholders. We used ESTIMAP-pollination model map wild bee abundance pollination Sudoeste Alentejano Costa Vicentina Natural Park (PNSACV) Portugal. The was modified adding behavioural...
Summary Spatial models are increasingly being used to target the most suitable areas for biodiversity conservation. This study investigates how spatial tool Marxan with Zones (MARZONE) can be support design of cost-effective conservation policy. New in this is analysis costs and effectiveness different agro-environmental measures (AEMs) habitat Montado ecosystem Portugal. A distinction made between financial paid participating landowners farmers adopting AEMs broader economic opportunity...
In this paper we present part of our work concerning multimodal dialogue systems founded on rational agents. We introduce the logical framework theory agency. how formal enables modelled agents to take into account various aspects interaction, such as physical state interaction scene and mental involved particular, propose a model communicative actions, which defines acts. The preconditions act are based communication model. These enable reason adapt their behavior regarding constraints dialogue.
