“…In this literature, the concepts of ‘enclave’ and ‘enclosure’ as applied to migrants signify segregation (whether spatial, political, cultural, emotional or economic) from mainstream society. Ethnic immigrant enclaves often refer to migrant residential concentration or clustering of a visible level of ethnic exclusivity, and may be presented both positively as vibrant sites/attractions of valuable economic, social and cultural resources, or more pejoratively as ghettos associated with malaise, marginalisation and undesirable ‘signs of failure’ (Chan, 2015; Chimienti and van Liempt, 2015; Kroeker-Maus, 2014: 19; Shin, 2018). While traditional assimilationists forecast that immigrant enclaves will eventually diminish/disperse with the progressive acculturation and accommodation of migrants, neo-Weberian theorists consider the enclave as a spatial form of social closure based partly on exclusionary politics and partly on migrants’ strategic choice.…”

“…A related vein of work focuses on the ‘multiple exercises of power’ inherent in the process of enclavisation (Kroeker-Maus, 2014: 802). Scholars writing on state-led territorial expansion have applied the term to describe practices of ‘spatial engineering’ and ‘strateg[ies] of territorial control’ (Dahlman and Williams, 2010; Falah, 2005: 1342, 1344).…”

Research on migration in arrival cities, particularly in the west, has traditionally focused on spatial formations such as ‘ethnic enclaves’ or ‘immigrant neighbourhoods’ in order to investigate questions around assimilation, integration and settlement issues relating to more permanent forms of migration. By shifting attention to the cities of migration in Asia that operate largely under a regime of temporary migration, we foreground the twin concepts of enclavisation and enclosure not as fixed entities but as ongoing spatial-temporal strategies of disciplinary power with uneven consequences for migrant life and labour in the city. Set within the context of Singapore, we draw on qualitative interviews with two groups of transient migrant workers – male construction workers and female domestic workers – to examine two sets of conjoined processes underpinning their spatial containment in the city-state: ground-driven enclavisation or the formation of ‘weekend enclaves’ /gathering grounds as co-national social spaces of support and comfort zones of co-ethnic belonging; and state-driven enclosure in dormitories or home-workspaces as a set of containment measures in response to gender-differentiated concerns about enclavisation. As spatial–temporal processes that shape the migrant’s place in, and mobility through, the city in highly gendered and disciplined ways, enclavisation and enclosure work in tandem to reinforce the non-integration of low-waged transient migrants in the city.

“…Tourists also often pick flowers, threatening the more charismatic species [49]. Tourism, thus, have negative impact in the wildlife, health, physiology, reproduction rate, and behaviour of the wild species [45,[50][51][52][53], prompting the decline of sensitive plants, while favouring the growth of resistant species, frequently opportunistic and exotic ones [49].…”

Conserving Endemic Plant Species in Oceanic Island’s Protected Areas

Protected Area Management - Recent Advances

Oceanic islands are known for their high levels of plant diversity, due to disjunct geographical distribution that leads to speciation. The main factors contributing to genetic speciation includes the creation of a barrier within a previously widely distributed taxon and the limited dispersal of seeds, which favours genetic differentiation and, thus, fosters rapid speciation. Plant survival and population fitness vary according to environmental factors and to human interference. This chapter depicts the importance of oceanic islands as biodiversity hotspots, discusses the threats to which endemic plants on islands are exposed, namely climate change, invasive alien species, urbanisation, touristic activities, fire, changes in agriculture practices and collecting pressure. The best practices worldwide to protect endemic plant species in protected areas are also addressed, namely the implementation of prevention and mitigation actions, the programs executed to protect endemic species, and management plans to avoid future threats.

“…The protected areas play an essential role in preserving biodiversity and the integrity of natural habitats, their conservation being essential in the contemporary society [97][98][99][100]. In addition, protected areas are a key tool in ensuring the development of sustainable activities [101,102], their effective management being of crucial importance in order to provide the long-term development of environmental systems [39,103,104]. In the absence of an effective management, there is the risk of establishment of disturbances that endanger the resilience of the system in question, such as the expansion of natural pests (e.g.…”

Multifunctional landscapes are complex systems that integrate biophysical, cultural-historical and socio-economic components into unique territorial structures and regional ensembles. Facing increasing pressures generated by urbanization, climate change and overexploitation of natural resources, assessing the sustainability of these landscapes has become an urgent priority. The present research is based on the development and parametrization of a new tool for evaluating the sustainability of multifunctional landscapes that aims to measure the level of biocultural resilience of a landscape, integrating biological, cultural and socio-economic indicators in a single analytical framework. This index, called the biocultural resilience index (BRI), provides a holistic perspective on the dynamics of landscapes, allowing the identification of vulnerability areas and the development of conservation and sustainable management strategies. The evaluation of the of multifunctional landscapes sustainability requires a comprehensive approach that has to integrate both biological aspects, such as biodiversity and ecosystem health, as well as identity and cultural aspects, such as cultural value and the relationship of the local communities with the environment. In this context, this study highlights the fact that the development of appropriate tools and methods for assessing and monitoring the sustainability of multifunctional landscapes becomes essential for their sustainable management and for protecting the benefits they offer to society. Our findings show that the biocultural resilience index (BRI) can be used in a variety of contexts and fields, including spatial planning, biodiversity conservation, sustainable rural development and ecotourism. In the meanwhile, this index offers a robust and flexible analytical framework, adaptable to the needs and particularities of different regions and communities.
