Abstract:Over the past century, the environment of the Gulf of Mexico has been significantly altered and impaired by extensive human activities. A national commitment to restore the Gulf was finally initiated in response to the unprecedented Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. Consequently, there is a critical need for an assessment framework and associated set of indicators that can characterize the health and sustainability of an ecosystem having the scale and complexity of the Gulf. The assessment framework present… Show more
“…The principle of mosquito prevention and control based on ecosystem and environmental sustainability needs to be instilled early jn the community [34]. The eco-health control principle pays attention to environmental aspects, including physical, biological, social, economic, as well as local potential and community culture, while also considering the preservation of nature and sustainability [35]. Based on the results, community readiness in the prevention and control of dengue fever must always be monitored and improved to prevent the rapid spread of the disease.…”

The prevention and control of dengue fever with the eco-health approach are crucial especially at the household level. However, the implementation is still limited and has continued to experience several obstacles. This study aimed to analyze the eco-health-based dengue vector control at the household level, identify the factors influencing decision-making, and assess household readiness towards the implementation. The study was conducted in Bandarharjo Village, the coastal area of Semarang City and the samples were residents who had settled for at least six months, selected using the purposive sampling technique. Furthermore, the household survey used a mixed method with quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were collected through a Google Form, which consists of a questionnaire, an observation checklist by respondents, and interview guidelines with open- ended answer questions. The data were further analyzed with Univariate Analysis and qualitative data were processed with the Uwe Flick method. The results showed that the majority or 65.1% of the community is ready to carry out prevention and control with the eco-health method as indicated by the excellent and good readiness criteria of 14.7% and 50.5% respectively. Social capital and support from stakeholders, as well as community leaders, were found to strengthen community readiness for sustainable eco-health prevention and control of dengue fever.

“…El balance de todos los componentes que permiten la autoorganización de los ecosistemas, lo podemos interpretar como la salud del ecosistema (Harwell et al, 2019). Cuando un ecosistema es sano, los procesos se regulan por sí solos y los servicios que proporcionan a los seres humanos son de gran calidad, ya que dependemos de la naturaleza para obtener agua, alimentos, aire y muchos otros servicios ecosistémicos, incluyendo nuestro bienestar mental y físico (Cerqueira et al, 2015).…”

“…Cuando un ecosistema es sano, los procesos se regulan por sí solos y los servicios que proporcionan a los seres humanos son de gran calidad, ya que dependemos de la naturaleza para obtener agua, alimentos, aire y muchos otros servicios ecosistémicos, incluyendo nuestro bienestar mental y físico (Cerqueira et al, 2015). Muchos de los servicios ecosistémicos no son tan evidentes, como los procesos bioquímicos, por ejemplo, el ciclo del carbono, el del nitrógeno y el del oxígeno (Soulé, 1985;Harwell et al, 2019), sin los cuales no sería posible la vida en el planeta. Para los estudios de los servicios ecosistémicos se debe tener un mejor entendimiento de su ecología, y así poder promover su conservación a niveles de sistemas completos incluyendo la regulación y control de las enfermedades (Kremen & Ostfeld, 2005).…”
La crisis de la pérdida de biodiversidad por el impacto de las actividades humanas ha afectado el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas y los servicios ecosistémicos, así mismo se ha incrementado la carencia de espacios silvestres. Debido al impacto humano globalizado, se deben estructurar y planear estrategias de conservación bajo otras perspectivas. En este ensayo se describen los conceptos Sorta situ, Renaturalización y Una Salud y se hace una reflexión para su aplicación en la problemática de conservación de especies, espacios silvestres y servicios ecosistémicos en México.
“…A conceptual framework model for environmental health tracking gives a systematic procedure that aids in the collection of factors and to examine issues linked to actual or predicted environmental health relationships (Edokpolo et al, 2019;Eisenberg et al, 2007;Frank et al, 2019;Harwell et al, 2019;Kyle et al, 2006;McGeehin et al, 2004). Furthermore, conceptual frameworks can join separate monitoring plan of action and assist development of new indicators, policies, legislation and plan of action (Niemeijer et al, 2008;Eriksson et al, 2017).…”
There is evidence that hypertensive heart disease is attributed to environmental noise and air pollution in European regions. Epidemiological studies have also demonstrated the potential role of road traffic air–noise pollution in adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. Despite the local implementation of the EU Directive on environmental noise and air quality, it is necessary to explore the progress and understand the impact of policy, legislation and the collection of exposure and associated health data for air and noise pollution in order to improve environmental public health. Therefore, the DPSEEA (Driving force, Pressure, State, Exposure, Effect and Action) conceptual framework model was used to systematically map and review these links and to identify relevant indicators linking air–noise pollution with cardiovascular diseases. With a focus on the EU and specifically UK situation, we critically evaluate the effectiveness of evidence-based policy implementation of action plans, summarizing existing data using modified framework model tools. We concluded that, the DPSEEA conceptual framework provides an effective review method to more effectively, conduct data surveillance monitoring and assessment, and tracking outcomes with different types of evidence in the field of environmental public health. There is great scope demonstrating the use of the DPSEEA conceptual framework to highlight the casual relationship between exposure and effects taking into account other factors such as driving force, pressure, state, exposure and action and to incorporate as surveillance information in the environmental health tracking system (EHTS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
