Volume 1
Sustainable Natural Resources management in Dynamic Southeast Asia
This volume raises issues related to the dependence of local communities on natural resources for their livelihood; their rights, access, and control over natural resources; the current practices being adopted in managing natural resources and socio-ecological systems; and new forms of natural resource governance, including the implementation methodology of RED+ in three countries in Asia. This volume also links regional issues with those at the local level, and contributes to the process of application of various multi-method and modeling techniques and approaches, which is identified in the current volume in order to build problem solving mechanisms for the management of natural resources at the local level. Earlier, the Ford Foundation Delhi office supported a workshop on Asian Irrigation in Transition, and its subsequent publication was followed by Ford Foundation Jakarta office’s long term support for expanding the knowledge on integrated natural resources management, as mediated by institutions in the dynamic social ecological systems.
