“…For integrated SESs, See Figure 2. The tourism impact, especially on the environment, has revolved around the negative and positive impacts of tourism on the environment [39,40]. However, in the context of the SES framework, people (i.e., communities) who are settled in coastal areas are involved in the transformation of the physical environment into a landscape that, in the context of environmental psychology, develops into their living environment, place attachment, and place identity [41].…”

Assessing the State of ICZM in an Island Tourist Destination—Applying SESs and Ostrom’s Collective Action Principles: A View from Coastal Communities

This paper aims to investigate the state of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM), which is justified as a strategy for managing coastal resources with respect to increasing pressures from tourism, farming, climate change, urbanization, population growth, etc. In the case of island states, the impact of tourism and second-home development is paramount. The use of coastal areas as commons and ICZM as a governance strategy have been established for a long time; however, the implementation of ICZM has remained a challenge due to the forces of global mass tourism and unsustainable resource use in island states. This study focused on views of the coastal communities in North Cyprus, who are in constant interaction with coastal ecosystems for their livelihood. For the analytical purpose of the study, 251 survey questionnaires were administered to eight communities along the coastal areas. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistical analysis with a post hoc test. Socio-ecological systems (SES) and Ostrom’s collective action principles guided the study as the main theoretical frameworks. The study revealed that the ICZM strategy has been neglected and coastal communities are not invited to be involved in any form of ICZM. Furthermore, the study revealed the tourism development has been the major activity of the Anthropocene in coastal areas without a proactive coastal development strategy that is supposed to consider the vulnerability of coastal ecosystems. Practical and theoretical implications are also discussed.

“…Therefore, we argue that the connection between community members and coastal environment transcends the simplistic negative and positive impacts. Chen [39] went further by adding ecosystem service valuation (ESV) to the conventional environmental impact assessment (EIA), which is in line with the SES framework.…”

“…Other methods tend to focus on the value assessment of a single land use type such as forest land [60], grassland [61], wetland [62], etc. These methods use a large amount of survey data and relevant parameters to reduce the subjectivity of evaluation results to some extent, but they require a lot of time and labor costs and are more restricted in terms of research locations [63].…”

Identification of Coupling and Influencing Factors between Urbanization and Ecosystem Services in Guanzhong, China

Urbanization trades off the value of ecosystem services for economic value, either directly or indirectly. Optimizing the synergistic effects of both and identifying the coupled influences associated with human activities are essential for sustainable regional development and policy formulation. In this study, we analyzed the spatial differentiation of regional ecosystem service values and urbanization using ArcGIS 10.2, STATA 15.1, the value coefficient method, the urbanization index model, and the coupled coordination model, assessed their coupled coordination status, and further explored the influencing factors, taking the Guanzhong region of China as an example. The results show that the substrate has an important influence on ecosystem service values, with woodlands being the most important value provider and the largest contribution of regulating service values, with a spatial “center-periphery” ring-band growth distribution. There is a clear hierarchy of urbanization, with the higher the administrative level, the higher the level of urbanization. The overall coupling and coordination of ecosystem services and urbanization is in a non-equilibrium state, with high levels in the south and low levels in the north. Further research on the factors influencing the coupling found that the disposable income of urban residents and the population employed in the tertiary industry had the greatest influence.

“…Yet they can be significantly affected by the financial loss caused by the degradation of CES via the remunerative mechanism (Figure 3). For example, climate change or environmental degradation can cause significant loss in tourism revenue, thereby reducing the incomes of people working in these sectors and hindering their capability meeting basic needs 50,51 . Some of the reviewed studies suggest that when money enters the picture, it can sometimes shift the way people frame their wellbeing, appreciation of nature, and motivations behind their interactions with nature 52,53 .…”

Ecosystems contribute significantly to human wellbeing through the provision of ecosystem services. Despite the growing literature on cultural ecosystem services (CES), there is a lack of systematic understanding of how they are linked with human wellbeing. Here we conduct a systematic review of the peer-reviewed literature to identify the mechanisms and pathways underpinning the linkages between different CES and constituents of human wellbeing. Furthermore we identify their complex associations through Latent Class Analysis, Multiple Correspondence Analysis, and different visualisation tools. Overall we identify 16 major mechanisms linking CES and human wellbeing, via 70 distinct pathways. Beyond that we find five major assemblages of pathways featuring consistent associations among mechanisms mediating CES and human wellbeing. We critically discuss the main research trends and gaps, and propose future directions for research and practice in order to leverage the potential of CES for human wellbeing, and sustainability more broadly.
