from measuring outcomes to providing inputs governance management and Local Development for more effective marine protected areas
2014Co-Authors: Nathan J Bennett, Philip DeardenAbstract:Marine protected areas (MPAs) have the potential to conserve marine resources as well as provide social and economic benefits to Local communities. Yet the percentage of MPAs that might be considered “successful” or effective on ecological and/or socio-economic accounts is debatable. Measurement of biophysical and socio-economic outcome indicators has become de rigeur for examining MPA management effectiveness so that adaptive feedback loops can stimulate new management actions. Scholars and practitioners alike have suggested that more attention should be given to the inputs that are likely to lead to successful MPA outcomes. This paper briefly discusses the potential ecological and socio-economic outcomes of MPAs then reviews the literature on three categories of inputs – governance, management, and Local Development – that lead to effective MPAs. In conclusion, the paper presents a novel inputs framework that incorporates indicators for governance, management and Development to be used in the design and analysis of MPAs.

el desarrollo de un nuevo destino turistico el caso de la ciudad de villa elisa argentina the Development of a new tourist destination the case of villa elisa city argentina tourist destinations
2011Co-Authors: Noemi WallingreAbstract:This article contributes to the investigation of a new tourist destination in Argentina. It has the purpose to establish the relationship between tourism and the Local Development from the emergence of initiatives and implementation of policies and strategies, as well as on the comparison with the productive traditional activities. It is based on the study of the case of Villa Elisa city, province of Entre Rios, Argentina, using quantitative and qualitative technologies. The hypothesis affirms that the tourism is an activity that contributes to the Local Development of small cities. The period of study covers the origins of the tourism in the city in 1999 until 2009. It analyzes the socioeconomic impact relative to the employment, the business and investments, and it takes into account the contribution reflected in the benefits received by the resident population. The research is part of the subject area of Local Development centered on the figure of resort, and it is analyzed from the theory of the tourist system.

symbolic public goods and the coordination of collective action a comparison of Local Development in india and indonesia
2005Co-Authors: Vijayendra RaoAbstract:Most economists think of common property as physical-a body of water, a forest-and as bounded within geographic space. In this paper, building on work in social theory, the author argues that common property can also be social-defined within symbolic space. People can be bound by well-defined symbolic agglomerations that have characteristics similar to common property. He calls these"symbolic public goods"(SPGs) and make the case that such constructs are central to understanding collective action. He illustrates the point by contrasting how conceptions of nationalism in Indonesia and India created SPGs that resulted in very different strategies of Local Development. Indonesia emphasized collective action by the poor that resulted in a form of regressive taxation, enforced by the ideology of svadaya gotong royong (community self-help) that was both internalized and coercively enforced. India emphasized democratic decentralization through the panchayatsystem driven by the Gandhian ideology of gram swaraj (self-reliant villages). This has resulted in an unusual equity-efficiency tradeoff. Indonesia has delivered public services much more efficiently than India did, but at the cost of democratic freedoms and voice. The author argues that the challenge for these countries is not to undermine their existing SPGs but to build on them. Indonesia should retain the spirit of svadaya gotong royong but channel it in an equitable and democratic direction, while India should build the capacity of the panchayat system by giving it fiscal teeth, while promoting underutilized institutions such as Gram Sabhas (village meetings) that encourage accountability and transparency.

sustainable Local Development and environmental governance a strategic planning experience
2016Co-Authors: Giuseppe Ioppolo, Stefano Cucurachi, Roberta Salomone, Giuseppe SaijaAbstract:The emphasis on learning and adaptation among different actors at various political administrative levels and on various geographic scales has become a precondition for the emergence of sustainable Development. It is possible to find the essential form of collaborative management by using a Strategic Plan, designed to determine a Local model of sustainable competitiveness in economic, social and environmental terms. The adoption of a Strategic Plan stimulates a process of shared knowledge, through which it is possible to generate a new environmental governance (EG) that is truly representative of a Local system. This paper presents, as a case study representative of the Italian context, the Strategic Plan of the Nebrodi area (SP), and assesses the structure of a new form of public and private environmental governance focused on sustainable concern. Finally, the SP could be considered a guideline for managing the Local territorial and environmental system from a long-term perspective.
