Developing a sustainable indicator system based on the pressure–state–response framework for local fisheries: A case study of Gungliau, Taiwan

Application of a Sustainable Fisheries Development Indicator System (SFDIS) for Better Management Outcomes in Taiwan Offshore and Coastal Fishery

“…According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and experiences in Australia and at Gungliau, Taiwan, SFIDS requires several steps, including adoption of goals and scope, selection of a framework, establishment of a candidate indicator set, selection of indicators and reference points, aggregation, and visualization (Ou and Liu 2010). Examples of this are the human and environment subsystem indices proposed by Garcia, Staples, and Chesson (2000), the ecological, economic, social, and institutional indices proposed by the FAO (1999) and Charles (2001).…”

“…Missing values are estimated through the use of the interpolation method. However, the missing variables should not exceed 1/5 of the total value in order to estimate the missing values accurately (Ou and Liu 2010).…”

A review of the application and evolution of the DPSIR framework with an emphasis on coastal social-ecological systems

“…Indicators can also be used to assess the effectiveness of the actions and policies implemented, by measuring progress towards environmental targets (OECD, 1993). The PSR has also been used by other authors (e.g Bricker et al, 2003;Ou and Liu, 2010) for coastal issues. EEA (2003) defines each category of the DPSIR framework as follows: driving forces describe the social, demographic and economic developments in societies and the corresponding changes in life styles, overall levels of consumption, and production patterns; pressure indicators describe developments in release of substances (emissions), physical and biological agents, the use of resources and the use of land by human activities; state indicators give a description of the quantity and quality of physical phenomena (such as temperature), biological phenomena (such as fish stocks) and chemical phenomena (such as atmospheric CO 2 concentrations) in a certain area; the changes in state produce impacts on the functions of the environment, such as human and ecosystem health, resources availability, losses of manufactured capital, and biodiversity; and finally responses are the actions taken by groups (and individuals) in society as well as the governments' attempts to prevent, compensate, ameliorate or adapt to changes in the state of the environment.…”

Examining the impacts of disaster resettlement from a livelihood perspective: a case study of Qinling Mountains, China

“…Mangi, Roberts, and Rodwell () identified appropriate indicators for evaluating the problem of overfishing in Kenya and the tropics. Ou and Liu () created a sustainable indicator system based on the PSR framework for local fisheries in Gungliau, Taiwan. Lastly, Martins, Camanho, and Gaspar () suggested that the PSR framework should be integrated into a sustainable indicator system for the appraisal of livelihoods.…”

“…The study integrates the PSR framework (OECD, 1993) and factors specified by the SLA (Scoones, 1998) to develop a conceptual model capable of analysing the impacts of disaster resettlement. The PSR framework is employed as a causal model, covering the causes and effects of the measurable state, in previous livelihoods research (Stevenson and Lee, 2001;Rudd, 2004;Mangi, Roberts, and Rodwell, 2007;Fernandes and Woodhouse, 2008;Ou and Liu, 2010;Martins, Camanho, and Gaspar, 2012). Rudd (2004) developed a modified institutional analysis and development framework that encompasses both the PSR framework and sustainable livelihoods indicators based on the SLA, establishing a platform for experimental design and monitoring of ecosystem-based fisheries management policy.…”
