Indonesia has a long history of land grabs before this term was coined, reaching from colonial occupation to cleptocratic rule. The most recent wave enclosures across the archipelago builds on large-scale, market-oriented spatial planning. This paper shares our experience using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) produce high-quality community controlled maps in order challenge some official planning processes West Kalimantan. Developed at first as component action research looking political...
The scholarly debate on ‘green ports’ since it emerged in the policy discourse of international maritime organizations has largely focused exploring economic benefits associated with implementing related policies and developing green guides codes conduct for port authorities. In contrast, received little attention how idea according measures are taken up what role is played by contextual factors places such uptake. By engaging expanding literature mobilities drawing empirical information...

The search for suitable adaptation pathways to accommodate rising sea levels resulting from global climate change is an ongoing concern many megacities in Southeast Asia and beyond. Addressing already existing challenges land subsidence increased occurrence of inland flooding, can take varied forms cover widely differing concerns, spaces time spans. Based on research carried out the cities Singapore, Jakarta (Indonesia), Manila (Philippines), this paper looks at some key trajectories current...
In the face of global change, exploration possible futures marine social-ecological systems (MSES) becomes increasingly important. A variety models aims at improving our understanding ecosystem dynamics and complexities by assessing how react to internal external drivers change. However, these are often built from a natural-science perspective through reductionist top-down knowledge production process that does not engage with interests, concerns stakeholders. Our work explores different...
Abstract Human infrastructures, such as dams, seawalls, and ports, can affect both the sedimentary budget nearshore hydrodynamics, enhancing accelerating loss or gain of coastal sediments. Understanding processes factors controlling beach morphodynamics is essential for implementing adequate adaptation strategies in areas, particularly those regions where protection measures are scarce. This study analyzes shoreline changes Keta Municipal District, located southeastern Ghana (West Africa)....
A rich corpus of literature exists on traveling knowledges, their carriers, and connectivities. Yet there is less emphasis how trajectories mobility themselves, the knowledges that circulate coevolve in process travel. In this article, we propose “epistemic mobilities” as a conceptual lens with which to empirically trace transfer translation practices they come be embedded existing new social realities. We draw inspiration from technological policy interventions for living sea-level change...
This paper analyses the emergence and fixing of scales in struggles over environmental issues. Using example watershed coastal management Java, we show how political framings matters resources are linked to scalar regimes. We conceptualise these regimes as fixes which intervention knowledge production bound by narratives social–ecological processes produce lock-in effects for prolonged periods time. In our empirical case, particular were central providing ‘problem closure’ legitimising...
Abstract. Mit dem Aufstieg des Klimawandels zu einem globalen Leitthema ist in den letzten Jahren auch die Rede von Klimakriegen und Klimaflüchtlingen gängig geworden. Der Klimawandel wird damit an Themen der äusseren inneren Sicherheit angebunden. Hierzu haben Aussagen hochrangiger politischer Vertreter ebenso beigetragen wie neue Ansätze aus Wissenschaft. Beitrag skizziert wichtige Linien Debatte zeigt verschiedene Varianten entsprechender Sicherheitsdiskurse international national...
