摘要:

The management of Australia's water resources has, until recently, focused upon meeting the needs of consumptive users. This focus has been driven by economic imperatives, combined with a government commitment to industrial/agricultural development and expansion. While expansionary policies have produced significant economic benefits for Australia, it has become increasingly apparent that such development has come at a price. The regulation of Australian rivers has resulted in the alteration of natural flow regimes to the extent that many ecological processes have been severely disrupted. This has not only had biological repercussions, but also produced agricultural problems such as algal blooms, salinity and rising groundwater tables.

摘要:

Resource conservation at the farm level has posed a management problem since systems of husbandry began. Economic agents are guided in their choices and behaviour by the incentives made available to them. Natural resource economists have examined a range of policy options to encourage the conservation of agroecological resources at the farm level. Some incentives have been used with more success than others and some promise to be effective tools, even though they have not yet been well tried. Some incentives have had unfortunate and unforeseen outcomes.

摘要:

Sustainable management of the world's forests has emerged as a major forestry issue on the international agenda. Certification and labelling have caught the attention of the international community as a tool to bring forest management toward sustainability. Certification is the third party assessment of a product or service to show that it is in compliance with a specific standard.

摘要:

This article presents the results of a survey undertaken in Lismore, New South Wales, in 1994 to investigate the feasibility of establishing a separate organics waste collection from the central business area. Of the 103 businesses surveyed, 97 responded, giving a response rate of 94 per cent. At least seven different types of collection bins were used, and that collection frequency was related to the size of the business. More than half the businesses surveyed recycle wastes, mostly glass and paper. It was found that 63 per cent of businesses would be willing to separate organics for a collection scheme if it was implemented, though restrictions such as increased costs and extra sorting time were significant factors (P<0.0001) on willingness to participate. Conversely, more than half the respondents indicated they would need no incentive such as a free bin or reduced charges, in order to participate. The use of educational programmes to overcome opposition is suggested and a list of implications for local government considering an organic waste collection scheme is provided.
