Tourism is a dynamically complex system. Planning for sustainability therefore difficult because past system behaviour often not good indicator of future behaviour. Despite this, tourism planning mainly based on forecasting methods that rely historical data to predict trends with the assumption tomorrow's world will be much like today's. To properly manage systems it necessary understand underlying structures influence current as well This domain thinking, which method, rather method used...
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), used as flame retardants, have been detected in the environment and mammalian tissues fluids. Evidence indicates that PBDE mixtures induce CYPs through aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-dependent -independent pathways. The present work has investigated effects of individual components a commercial mixture (DE71) on expression CYP1A1, biomarker for activation AhR (dioxin-like), CYP2B CYP3A, biomarkers constitutive androstane pregnane×receptors (CAR PXR),...
Abstract This paper discusses the benefits of applying Systems Thinking to solving natural resource management problems. It first explains concept and briefly outlines its history emergence in agriculture management. A series case studies are then presented which illustrate practical examples how has been used address real life issues. The build on conclusions each other by adding additional ways (lessons learnt) incorporating into practice issues more systemically. study deals with...
Connections between human activities (social systems) and nature (ecological are key factors affecting forest-cover change in tropical peatland ecosystems. However, the complexity of these socio-ecological is often poorly understood. This study identifies influencing land-cover ex-Mega Rice Project area Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. A systems thinking approach was used to construct two causal loop diagrams assess interrelationships change, actors' choice their motivation convert...
Abstract Participatory systems analysis was used to construct system models of the operating environment for fire management in conservation reserves north Queensland, Australia. The aim study identify stumbling blocks adaptive and test whether this could be done using participatory methods a modelling tool called Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN). Results from case indicate that approach provides co‐learning captures collective (corporate) knowledge factors influencing planning, implementing,...
Arguably the most influential document in history of urban planning, Daniel Burnham's 1909 Plan Chicago, co-authored by Edward Bennett and produced collaboration with Commercial Club proposed many city's distinctive features. Carl Smith's fascinating reveals Plan's central role shaping ways people envision cityscape life itself. His concise accessible narrative begins a survey Chicago's stunning rise from tiny frontier settlement to nation's second-largest city. He then offers an...
Purpose The intervention of many different organizations during the post-disaster housing reconstructions could also influence sustainability overall socio-ecology affected areas. Different approaches in design, selection building materials and construction technologies deployed pursuit disaster resiliency may cause undesirable adverse circumstances to surroundings, which escalate its susceptibility future calamities. Therefore, this paper aims identify relevant key indicators interpret a...
