Islands are sites of rich and varied human and ecological diversity, but they are also often characterized by narrow resource bases and dependency on links to the outside world, and by their limited ability to determine the actual character of those links. This volume reviews the challenges of island development and conservation in the Asia–Pacific region. With emphasis on nature reserves and UNESCO World Heritage sites, chapters describe the benefits, barriers, and potential pitfalls in preserving such sites, managing biota, and attracting and controlling tourism. The book also provides a provocative challenge to move beyond the typical concerns of “sustainability” to the more holistic concept of “futurability”, or “future potential” for convivial human–environmental interactions.. | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-53989-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-4-431-54088-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-4-431-53989-6Series ISSN 2192-6336 Series E-ISSN 2192-6344 | issn_series | 2192-6336 | copyright | Springer 2011 |
