“…The papers in the last group under study capture tourism and waste management (Zhang et al, ; Estay‐Ossandon and Mena‐Nieto, ; Tan et al, ) and have the largest overlap with our study. Like us, Estay‐Ossandon and Mena‐Nieto () use a group of islands, the Balearic Islands, as a case study.…”

Wasted paradise? Policies for Small Island States to manage tourism‐driven growth while controlling waste generation: the case of the Maldives

System Dynamics Review

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face tension between economic growth and environmental impact. Tourism fuels growth, but the resulting solid waste and other pollutants threaten the SIDS' natural beauty, quality of life for residents, attractiveness to tourists, and economic success. We assess the tension between tourism-driven economic growth and environmental degradation from a limits-to-growth perspective, developing a generic system dynamics model of the problem using 38 years of data from the Maldives to estimate parameters and Monte-Carlo methods to assess the sensitivity of results to uncertainty. We contrast development paths for the next three decades under three sets of policies focusing on promoting growth, managing tourism demand-supply balance, and improving waste management. Findings are counterintuitive; policies focused on better waste management alone are self-defeating, because they increase tourism, growth and waste generation, undermining attractiveness and growth later. Policies that limit tourism demand improve economic and environmental health.

“…The technique uses a series of iterative rounds interspersed by controlled feedback for the formulation of consensus judgment within a group of experts in a relevant field who do not interact directly with each other. For our study, three rounds of expert judgment were performed using an approach drawn from previous Delphi studies in landscape management and heritage tourism found in the literature [75][76][77][78][79][80][81]. This Delphi study was completed in April-September 2018 using the e-mail communication to relate a panel of ten experts in coastal tourism, landscape architecture, and dune geomorphology.…”

The main objective of the study was to elicit key concepts determining the aesthetic appeal of coastal dunes and forests using the example of the Curonian Spit (Lithuania). The mixed approach included three methods: (1) paired comparison survey of 45 coastal landscapes, (2) semi-structured interviews with local inhabitants, and (3) eliciting the key aesthetic appeal concepts by a panel of experts using the Delphi technique. The results of the paired comparison survey show that the most aesthetically appealing landscapes of the Curonian Spit are: (1) white mobile dunes, (2) white dunes with grey (grassland) dunes in the background, and (3) grey dunes with white dunes in the background. The local inhabitants considered the concept of visual coherence as the best, explaining the aesthetic appeal of the dune and the forest landscapes on the spit. The experts of the Delphi survey considered that the concepts of stewardship, naturalness, imageability, and visual scale best define the scenic appeal. The appeal of the least attractive landscapes, in their opinion, was shaped by the concepts of naturalness, disturbance, and complexity. We conclude that the notions of visitors, local inhabitants and experts differ on the aesthetic appeal concepts of coastal dunes and forests, suggesting potential management conflicts.

“…These systems can deal with three main groups of coastal needs: (1) evaluation of the consequences of diverse coastal threats, (2) estimation of risks related to climate change, and (3) prediction of management scenarios and cost-benefit rates for the optimal use of coastal resources (Zanuttigh et al 2014). Examples of DSS available in the literature include STELLA (Tan et al 2018), RISC-KIT (Van Dongeren et al 2018), DESYCO (Torresan et al 2016), THESEUS (Zanuttigh et al 2014), CLIMSAVE (Harrison et al 2013) and InVEST (Sharp et al 2018). DSS are envisaged as an effective means of clarifying the language of scientists and decision makers and making alternative options understandable for laypeople whose participation in the project should always be encouraged.…”

The Incorporation of Biophysical and Social Components in Coastal Management

Change is inherent in coastal systems, which are amongst the most dynamic ones on Earth. Increasing anthropogenic pressure on coastal zones interferes with natural coastal dynamics and can cause ecosystem imbalances that render the zones less stable. Furthermore, human occupation of coastal zones often requires an uncharacteristic degree of stability for these inherently dynamic coastal systems. Coastal management teams face multifaceted challenges in protecting, rehabilitating and conserving coastal systems. Diverse monitoring schemes and modelling tools have been developed to address these challenges. In this article, we explore various perspectives: the integration of biophysical, ecological and social components; the uncertainties of diverse data sources; and the development of flexible coastal interventions. We propose general criteria and guidance for an Ecosystem-based Management (EbM) to coastal management, which aims primarily at adaptation to global change and uncertainties, and to managing and integrating social aspects and biophysical components based on the flows of energy and matter.
