Institutional and Conceptual Barriers to Climate Change Adaptation for Coastal Cultural Heritage

Climate change is increasing the speed at which tangible coastal cultural heritage is changing in character or being lost through weathering, erosion, and inundation. Damages to coastal archeological sites, loss of access to historical sites, and the alteration of cultural landscapes will force changes in the way researchers can study sites, tourists can enjoy places, and descendant communities who have lived in particular areas for time immemorial, and local community members can utilize and relate to landscapes. In the USA, the National Park Service is a primary coastal cultural resource management organization. The National Park Service has been working on climate change adaptation for cultural resources for over a decade; however, there are few examples of parks in which long range climate change adaptation plans for cultural resources have been implemented. Building from 20 semi-structured interviews with cultural resource managers in three parks, we found that institutional structures within the National Park Service, as well as historical conceptual framings specific to the research, recreational, and interpretive values of cultural resources act as barriers to managers’ ability to design and implement climate change adaptation plans. Institutional barriers managers discussed include the dependence of climate change adaptation decisions partnership projects and the leveraging of budgetary and staff resources within NPS that may affect climate change adaptation capacity. We found that park managers often saw impacts in parks that may be associated with climate change, but found it difficult to separate normal maintenance from climate change affected deterioration, which may lead to status quo management actions rather than revised planning for a changing future regime. Conceptual barriers managers discussed revealed a conflict between preservation needs of research versus interpretive uses and while NPS guidance recommends prioritization of cultural resources for preservation at the park level, regional managers were more focused on this topic than park managers. As NPS moves forward with climate change adaptation planning, opportunities to develop and improve cultural resource preservation with new technologies, improved prioritization schemes, and include public input in resource preservation may help coastal managers overcome these barriers.     

农村物流末端共配联盟演化博弈及稳定性研究

针对农村物流小批量分散化特点，构建农村物流共同配送联盟演化博弈模型和基于系统动力学的联盟演化仿真模型，揭示农村物流共同配送联盟在自组织环境下系统内各方决策行为特征及其稳定状态。结果表明：农村物流共同配送联盟运行受到联盟超额收益、联盟罚金、声誉损失、建设运营成本等多种因素的综合影响，联盟收益分配机制及成本分担机制直接关系企业在联盟内的决策行为。联盟超额收益大小是农村物流共同配送联盟成功运行的关键因素，超额收益的分配机制会对企业参与联盟决策行为产生直接影响，联盟运行维护成本是促使物流企业偏离联盟的重要因素，而联盟罚金及声誉损失对企业偏离联盟有很好的约束作用。优惠的财税支持、合理的联盟激励约束机制是促进农村物流共同配送联盟快速发展和稳定运行的有效举措。     

农村牧区公路建设资金使用中存在的问题与对策

随着经济的不断发展,国家把农村基础设施建设纳入到重要的民生工程中,不断加大投资补助力度,加快发展步伐。但由于近几年来受美欧债务危机影响,国内物价上涨速度过快,致使农村公路建设成本不断增加,资金筹集的多元化,导致在使用中出现许多问题。因此,采取有效措施,加强和规范建设资金管理迫在眉睫。文章结合内蒙古自治区农村牧区公路建设资金在使用和管理中存在的问题,提出解决思路和对策。

The environmental impact caused by road access to Timanfaya Natural Park on Lanzarote Island

This paper evaluates the impact of road transport usage in accessing the Timanfaya Natural Park on Lanzarote Island, and its implications for sustainable tourism development. This evaluation is based on projections of the trip matrix estimated for Lanzarote Island. First, we estimate the global environmental impact, or the contribution of the road transport required for accessing the natural park to climate change. The methodology employed is the Ecological Footprint indicator. The study analyses how to manage the impact of road access to tourist activities through a price intervention; i.e. fuel tax. Redesigning the public transport supply is proposed as an alternative to the pricing policy. Finally, conclusions are drawn.
