From early and varied research on environmental and economic policy to equity and public impacts on minority communities, later research considered planning, adding case studies on sustainability and resilience to the scope of research covered. This review paper stems from exchanges of a long-standing network of academic, government agency, and practice professionals working to identify research, policy, and practice gaps. It traces the evolution of US brownfield revitalization research as was informed by, and informed, policy, program and practice. This review summarizes the literature and identifies research gaps and opportunities to further community and agency actions related to investigating, remediating, and redeveloping brownfield sites. It outlines site and area options to build climate resilience, strengthen community action for dismantling structural racism and disinvestment, and reduce the disproportionate risks experienced by communities of colour and areas of low income. The authors propose a new research agenda to address the gaps identified.","PeriodicalId":54257,"journal":{"name":"Local Environment","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85113676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this sense, hydropower plays a key role. Broadly speaking, hydropower is perceived as a climate ally and considered environmentally sustainable. However, its development is still controversial due to the well-known environmental and ecological impacts that put its environmental sustainability in question. In this sense, this study aims to analyse and discuss hydropower development and policy in Ecuador from an environmental perspective. The analysis addresses the research question of to what extent the business-as-usual hydropower policy is compatible and consistent with national environmental sustainability and Buen Vivir (Good Living) goals. For such purpose, the analysis is conducted by applying a proposed conceptual framework composed of critical elements such as Buen Vivir principles, rights of nature and the evidence on the environmental sustainability of hydropower. The analysis highlights the main environmental drawbacks of the BAU-HP policy and finds that the current development and policy of hydropower is ultimately detrimental to achieving national environmental sustainability and Buen Vivir. Moreover, it easily infringes the Rights of Nature and conflicts with the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity. Following the findings, several environmental sustainability-oriented recommendations are suggested for future hydropower policymaking.","PeriodicalId":54257,"journal":{"name":"Local Environment","volume":"167 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88468207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The smallholders were grouped into four categories: tourism oriented (TO), tourism and part-time migration work (TPM), migration work and part-time tourism (MPT) and migration work-oriented (MO). The TLRI revealed notable differences among these groups, with MPT smallholders demonstrating the lowest resilience (0.287) due to a weak buffer capacity (0.242). In contrast, MO smallholders displayed high resilience, as they were able to become successful professional tourism operators. Interestingly, households with low-diversity livelihoods (e.g. MO and TO) had higher resilience than those with high diversity (MPT and TPM). Regression findings showed that increased buffer capacity, self-organisation capacity and community protective capacity tend to motivate smallholders to engage in tourism intensification activities, while learning capacity had no measurable impact. Based on these results, three suggestions have been presented for improving the livelihood resilience of tourism smallholders. The conceptualisation of the TLRI enhances our understanding of the livelihood resilience of tourism smallholders in China and provides insights into the household operation system in tourism-guided rural transition.","PeriodicalId":54257,"journal":{"name":"Local Environment","volume":"51 1","pages":"1371 - 1387"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84719869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Living Labs are commonly understood as stakeholder-centred, iterative and open-innovation ecosystems that involve multiple forms of co-creation and engagement among di ﬀ erent actors in a given territory. Over a period of three years, thanks to a unique pan-European action research study, three such Labs were set up in di ﬀ erent locations in Europe – a large North-western European city (Manchester, England), a mid-sized mountainous town in South-eastern Europe (Metsovo, Greece) and a series of rural settlements in Central Europe (Nyírbátor, Hungary). Working closely with local residents and relevant organisational stakeholders, the research teams that led the Labs undertook multiple low-carbon interventions in the homes of low-income residents, while continuously monitoring the broader impacts of intermediation practices on energy equity and sustainability across three consecutive cycles of activity. We present and discuss the results of these activities, so as to uncover the impacts of Living Labs on energy poverty both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":54257,"journal":{"name":"Local Environment","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88752931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
