In Sustainability Science
Population-decline and subsequent underuse of social-ecological landscapes are increasingly being recognized as one of the crucial drivers behind the loss and deterioration of biodiversity and ecosystem services. In line with this, the study aimed to explore how alternative development pathways influence future land-use patterns, biodiversity and...
Presentation
International Conference on Eco-friendly Farming and Farmland Ecology, Taipei
Socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) are globally ubiquitous and constitute the fundamental elements in achieving societies in harmony with nature. They, when wisely managed with thoughtful investments, can significantly contribute to the conservation and enhancement of local biodiversity. In this study, we analyse the...

In Science and Technology in Disaster Risk Reduction in Asia Potentials and Challenges
Despite much attention on “ecosystem services” and their potential role in disaster risk reduction (DRR), it is still unclear how ecosystem services can effectively be used for developing risk reduction strategies across the level of operations. On one hand, scientists have proved the utility of ecosystem services for DRR beyond doubts, say for...
Peer-reviewed Article
In International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction
Rural household water consumption has not been well-researched compared to urban water consumption, particularly in developing countries. Using cross-sectional household-level data from 330 villages in a drought-prone rural district of India, determinants influencing domestic water consumption are studied. Per capita water consumption is found to...

In Journal of Forestry Research
Incentive design is among the decisive factors behind active community participation and long-term sustainability of participatory forest management. Especially in case of mangroves, where multiple interests apply, it requires a careful integration of several ecological, economic and institutional factors. The primary objective of this paper is to...

In The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Risk Reduction Including Climate Change Adaptation
From ancient civilizations to modern ‘ technological-driven’ societies, human history has shaped and been constantly reshaped by natural hazards. One of the several hypotheses behind the collapse of the great Indus Valley Civilization during 1800-1700 bc, is of a series of droughts followed by an eastward shift of the monsoon. Consequently...

In Sustainable Development and Disaster Risk Reduction
Coastal areas are the driver of economic development, yet, over the last decade, more than 60 % of disaster losses have been confined to the coastal area. While on the one hand, the world has witnessed some deadly geo-hydro hazards in the past decade, rapid onset of climate change is also likely to intensify a range of hydrometeorological disasters...
