Description
"This report is focused on developing methodologies for the environmental monitoring of coastal zone environments and its problems. A landsystems' approach is tested to two case studies in South Africa and Sri Lanka. The intention of these studies has been to develop and evaluate methodology regarding the collection of environmental base-line data for Coastal Zone Management and water scarcity issues in the developing world. Fredrik Haag and Stefan Haglund focus on analysing the methodological aspects of these studies and the use of the methodology for further studies. The need for environmental monitoring in coastal areas is highlighted as well as the need for incorporating not only physical by also socio-economic factors in the decision-making process. The need to incorporate local knowledge and cultural values and practices in the process is also emphasised in the study."--p. 4 of cover.
