The Methodologies of Empowerment? A Systematic Review of the Deployment of Participation in the Coastal Zone Management Literature

Participation (e.g., stakeholder involvement) has become a central concept in the practice of environmental and coastal zone management. Research has shown that the integration of participation in coastal zone management has positive ecological and social outcomes. In the literature, however, participation is often reported in an unstructured and uncritical manner. Therefore, to find out whether and how there is a useful way to structure and characterize the way the coastal zone management literature deals with participation, we have conducted a literature review. The review was conducted and the literature structured through three central dimensions of participation, namely: power, knowledge, and (visions of) nature. The article concludes that this structured approach to participation enables us to study more systematically the role of participation and might facilitate the governance and learning processes of coastal networks.     

Plan implementation in the Florida keys through land acquisition

Abstract

The Florida Keys are an example of a fragile resource threatened by development. The early division of the area into small lots made conventional planning and regulation difficult. This paper describes the creation of a conservancy for the Keys—the history of development, the conditions necessitating a conservancy, and the political wrangling it took to implement the conservancy.     

The implications of MARPOL Annex V on the management of ports and coastal communities

Abstract

The passage of the Marine Plastics Pollution Research and Control Act of 1987 (MPPRCA), which codified Annex V of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), has encompassed every commercial and recreational shipping and boating facility in the United States. As a group, these ports, harbors, and marinas form a significant, although proportionately small, portion of the coastline of the country. More important, the economic benefits derived from the complex shoreside infrastructures required for international ocean trade, commercial and recreational fishing, and pleasure boating indicate just how critical it is for these facilities to be in conformance with effective and prudent coastal zone and environmental management practices.

裂纹尖端塑性区三维有限元分析

裂纹尖端塑性区的大小与其三维约束状态有关,而三维约束状态不仅与板厚还与外载荷、材料性质有关.因此不论是薄板还是厚板,用平面应力或者平面应变来模拟其状态都有局限性.现阶段对于三维约束状态下的裂纹还没有一个公认的可以准确计算塑性区大小的公式.文章用有限元对小范围屈服下,含Ⅰ型中心穿透裂纹板裂纹尖端的三维塑性区进行了研究,分析了硬化指数、屈服强度以及泊松比对塑性区大小的影响.计算从平面应力逐渐过渡到平面应变,结果与现有理论的预测结果进行比较,进而给出了一个计算裂纹尖端塑性区大小的计算公式.

强震区板桩结构成层土地震土压力的计算方法

物部-冈部公式广泛应用于地震作用下的土压力计算,但因其适用条件的局限性,不能用于板桩墙后既含砂土又含有黏土的非均质土,且国内外规范对此类成层土的地震土压力计算没有统一的规定。总结国内外规范中成层土地震动土压力计算方法,找出其本质差异,在前人研究基础上引进整体极限平衡方法,结合SLOPE软件,得出强震区板桩结构成层土地震土压力的计算方法,并通过海外强震区港口工程实例验证,为同类工程提供参考。
