“…This article will share our experience in lake management, as one key aspect of our work. Based on our collaborative research with Japanese researchers under the ACP-IWM programme, the team has been exposed to the "heartware -hardware -software" framework as an integrated approach for the sustainable management of lakes [1]. Applying this integrated approach is also unique in campus sustainability work.…”

“…Figure 2. The cyclic platform process in ILBM Our team's own exploration of the Heartware approach began when we were inspired to apply the approach in Malaysia [1]. During our visits to Japan, we witnessed real-life cases where a combination of heartware, hardware and software approaches were effectively applied for IWM in a number of local watershed communities -especially in the surrounding area of Lake Biwa, the largest natural lake in Japan.…”

This paper presents the experience of the Water Warriors Living Lab, a bottom-up sustainable campus action research initiative in applying the integrated ‘Heartware - Hardware – Software’ approach for water management at the University of Malaya since the year 2013. It advances the proposition that a heartware approach is needed to enhance campus sustainability efforts, in addition to the more strategic hardware and software approaches. The paper describes how the Water Warrior’s experience in applying the heartware approach has been a strengthening factor in resolving water conservation issues at the university (specifically in lake management), and discusses important lessons learned to date. Our theoretical and empirical insights can hopefully provide renewed appreciation on how local, organic and humanistic factors can be essential ingredients for the long term ‘sustainability’ of campus sustainability efforts.Keyword: Campus sustainability, living lab, water management, heartware, bottom-up

“…Carolus et al (2018) investigate the possible advantages, prerequisites and limitations of applying CBA (cost-benefit analysis) in what may be considered as an alternative, “bottom-up” manner [8]. Mohamad et al (2015) explored the case for using “community-based shared values” as a potential driver for the “Heartware” aspects of governance in integrated watershed management (IWM)—from a Japan–Malaysia policy learning perspective [9]. Chen et al (2016) examined the environmental challenges in the Caribbean islands, and discusses the regional inter-governmental approach and community-based local solutions, they advocate a polycentric governance approach which undertake a “local action, global impact” to achieve sustainable development [10].…”

Environmental governance is an important component of the national governance system. China’s current environmental problems are particularly complex. How to let the government, enterprises, and the public participate in environmental governance is the key to enhance the ability of environmental governance. Based on the evolutionary game theory, the interaction and influencing factors among enterprise pollution control, government supervision, and public participation are analyzed, and the empirical analysis is carried out based on China’s 30 provincial panel data from 2009 to 2018. The research results show that government supervision has a positive effect on the environmental governance and can urge enterprises to actively perform pollution control. The effect of government supervision is constrained by the income and cost of enterprises, and the penalties for passive pollution control should be raised. At the same time, improving the government’s reputation loss can effectively stimulate the government’s environmental supervision behavior. Public participation significantly promotes the governance effect of three industrial wastes, and the enthusiasm of public participation is closely related to participation cost and psychological benefits. Public participation can replace government supervision to a certain extent. The interaction between government and public has a positive effect on environmental governance. The research results will help to build an effective environmental governance system and improve environmental governance performance and public satisfaction.

River basin management and community: the Great Ouse Basin, 1850–present

River basins are difficult units to manage. Society is generally not organized on the basis of river basins, yet river basins are important units for society and vice versa. This paper discusses the development and effectiveness of river basin management, using the Great Ouse Basin in the east of England as an example. Because of conflicting interests between upstream and downstream areas in this basin, it took some 70 years, from 1850 to 1920, to establish the first basin-wide management body, and because of these interests this body was initially not very effective. Over the years management was scaled up until in 1989 a national rivers authority was established. A fundamental issue was the lack of a sense of community at the basin scale. This could have mitigated the conflicts of interests and facilitated better cooperation. The paper recommends more research on the role of community in river basin management and suggests to extend the notions of 'institutional' and 'socio-ecological fit' to include 'community fit'.
