Regional sustainability assessment framework for integrated coastal zone management: Satoumi, ecosystem services approach, and inclusive wealth
文摘
Our framework integrates three separately developed approaches: Satoumi, the ecosystem services approach, and inclusive wealth. Satoumi, a Japanese concept of socio-ecological production landscapes (SEPLs), describes the desired state of a coastal zone. The ESA translates Satoumi into IW and helps explain which changes to ecosystems contribute to the asset quality (i.e., shadow prices). We propose adding two sustainability criteria, desired state and strong sustainability, to the original IW to make it operational.
