Abstract Knowledge co‐production and boundary work offer planners a new frame for critically designing social process that fosters collaborative implementation of resulting plans. involves stakeholders from diverse knowledge systems working iteratively toward common vision action. Boundary is means creating permeable boundaries satisfy the needs multiple groups while guarding functional integrity contributing systems. Resulting products are objects mutual interest maintain coherence across...
The National Biodiversity Assessment of 2011 found freshwater ecosystems to be highly threatened and poorly protected. However, a number studies have shown that the Wetland Map (NWM) Version 4 represents less than 54% wetlands mapped at fine scale. A more comprehensive South African Inventory Inland Aquatic Ecosystems (SAIIAE) would greatly improve assessment wetland ecosystem types their condition conservation status, is crucial for monitoring trends inform decision making planning. In...
In this article we reflect on the quality of a realist synthesis paradigm applied to evaluation Phase V WHO European Healthy Cities Network. The programmatic application approach has led very high response rates and wealth important data. All articles in Supplement report that cities network move from small-scale, time-limited projects predominantly focused health lifestyles significant inclusion policies programmes systems values for good governance. team felt that, due time resource...
Abstract Free‐flowing rivers (FFRs) are important surrogates for freshwater biodiversity as there increasingly fewer that reflect intact habitat and species diversity from source to sea. The status changes in the ecological condition or protection of FFRs is not explicitly reported on global targets. Indices proposed reporting such Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6 15, Aichi Target 11, post‐2020 framework. were identified at a countrywide scale South Africa protection, planning,...
Rainfall, runoff (overland flow), total sediments mobilized and their size distribution were measured for a number of events over three years (from 2006 to 2008) in small-scale catchment the Berg River (Western Cape).The aim was develop local-scale rainfall/runoff, sediment generation particle relationships that could be incorporated into existing hydrological models predicting erosion, transport deposition with sorbed contaminants.The results indicated rainfall intensity weakly correlated...
The uptake of scientific knowledge is not always a grand affair. Many observers assume that scientists need to communicate with high-ranking government officials influence policy. Grandiosely seen, scientists’ views and understandings are utilised by change a national, provincial, or local Scientists can also scientific knowledge in ‘low-key’ manner where public administrators not at the top governmental hierarchy. This paper reports on dialogue between scientists from the Council for...
