From comparative risk assessment to multi-criteria decision analysis and adaptive management: recent developments and applications.

TL;DR: This paper reviews ICZZM process in Egypt based on interviews with key ICZM actors as well as documentary analysis and participant observation inICZM meetings to provide recommendations that could help to enhance the implementation of ICZm in Egypt and other developing countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a framework for spatially explicit integrated planning and assessment of brownfield redevelopment options, aiming to support efficient and sustainable revitalization and communication between stakeholders, the presented assessment framework integrates three pinnacles of revitalization: identification of required subsurface remediation and associated site preparation costs, market-oriented economic appraisal, and the expected contribution of planned future land use to sustainable urban and regional development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the preference disaggregation-aggregation paradigm, which infers a preference model from given global preferences on a set of reference alternatives, can support decision making in energy policy design and implementation, is explored.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with the complex decision-making problems involving uncertainty and risk that climate change implies for forest owners and managers, and demonstrate the need for updating decision makers' beliefs and knowledge about the climate state and apply this in adaptive decision making.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors anticipate greater success in modifying the manner and frequency with which the activities of humans and domestic animals intersect with those of carnivores, which should permit carnivore populations to persist for decades despite human population growth and modification of habitat.

TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative approach to long-term policy analysis (LTPA) is presented, which enables decisionmakers to examine a vast range of futures and design adaptive strategies to be robust across them.

TL;DR: Many case studies in adaptive-management planning for riparian ecosystems have failed to produce useful models for policy comparison or good experimental management plans for resolving key uncertainties, and proposals for experimental management regimes have exposed and highlighted some really fundamental conflicts in ecological values.

TL;DR: This essay provides a conceptual framework and research agenda for a conservation science that uses the principles of adaptive management to answer three fundamental questions of conservation practice: what should their goals be and how do the authors measure progress?
