Focusing on marine systems, Chap. 2 examines the interrelationships between
sectoral policy interventions by various marine-related ministries and the entire
structure of integrated ocean policies. Focusing on the Sekisei Lagoon, Okinawa
Prefecture, on the southeastern tip of the Japanese archipelago, this study demonstrates clear structural and functional interlinkages between relevant sectors, further
highlighting the close connections between various stakeholders at the ecological level.
Chapter 3 focuses on engaging tourists in addressing the issue of invasive fish
species (carp) via a choice experiment survey conducted in Amami Oshima, Japan,
to quantify the willingness of tourists to participate in invasive carp removal in
nature-based tourism.
Given the rapid urbanization of the Asian region, we also focus on approaches to
ensure sustainability in urban contexts. Using an example from the city of Toyama
in Japan, Chap. 4 highlights how urban systems can move toward sustainability
using an envisioning method and further identifies pathways to reach such visions.
The chapter focuses on participatory approaches in urban contexts and identifies
ways of bringing together various perspectives to enable planning.
Chapter 5 highlights how local institutions and traditional knowledge can be
incorporated when addressing the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity,
focusing on experiences from the Sunderbans area in Bangladesh.
Chapter 6 dwells on this issue as it narrates experiences from the Satoyama
Initiative in the development and use of indicators of resilience in SEPLS in different regions of the world. This indicator toolkit is being used to assess, consider, and
monitor the circumstances of a landscape or seascape, identifying important issues
and ultimately improving their resilience.
Chapter 7 identifies various categories of solutions for the sustainable management of SEPLS based on the experiences of partners from the South, East, and
Southeast Asian countries of the International Partnership for the Satoyama
Initiative.
Chapter 8 provides a review of the effectiveness of different biodiversity SPIs,
which play a vital role in navigating policies and actions with a sound evidence
base. Based on a systematic review of 96 SPI studies from local to global scales, this
chapter examines the SPIs in terms of their perceived credibility, relevance, and
legitimacy.
Chapter 9 consolidates Chaps. 2–8 to identify key messages and future actions
to improve the science–policy–society interface for SEPLS, including future
research directions.
