9.1 Summary of the Book
Broadly, this book highlights various approaches to achieving the sustainable use of
resources and development for socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) from local to global scales. While Chaps. 2–5 covered specific case
studies at landscapes and seascapes in Japan (Chaps. 2–4) and Bangladesh (Chap.
5), Chaps. 6–8 consisted of a series of review articles that explored lessons learned
from assessing resilience in SEPLS (Chap. 6), solutions for sustainable management of SEPLS in Asia (Chap. 7), and the effectiveness of biodiversity science–
policy interfaces (SPIs) from local to global scales (Chap. 8). These chapters are
summarized in Table 9.1 according to their objectives, materials/study sites, methods/tools, spatial scales, and key actors.
Focusing on the Sekisei Lagoon, Okinawa Prefecture, at the southeastern tip of
the Japanese archipelago, Chap. 2 examined the inter-relationships between the sectoral policy interventions by various marine-related ministries and the entire structure of the integrated ocean policy. This study developed the SES schematic, which
summarized and visualized the main ecosystem structures, functions, use types, and
stakeholders relating to the lagoon. This SES schematic can be used as a boundary
object to facilitate knowledge exchange between various stakeholders, including
policy makers, practitioners, and researchers, to share a common understanding of
the current situation, and to co-create policy interventions for sustainable uses of
not only the Sekisei Lagoon but also other types of ecosystem or natural capital.
Chapter 3 focused on quantifying the willingness of tourists to participate in
invasive carp removal in nature-based tourism in Amami Oshima, Japan. The study
found that most tourists would avoid participating in carp removal activities as a
tour option without any financial discounts but that over one third of tourists were
willing to work for carp removal based on their own motivations. This result suggests that tourists could play an important role in invasive alien species management.
Using the example of the city of Toyama in Japan, Chap. 4 focused on a participatory approach of backcasting scenario-making to identify ways of bringing
together various perspectives for sustainable urban planning. The chapter concluded
that, when governed in certain ways, citizen participatory approaches can realize a
fairly good balance between diverged processes and converged outcomes of backcasting scenario-making on the issue of urban sustainability transitions.
Chapter 5 highlighted how local institutions and traditional knowledge can be
incorporated when addressing sustainable use and the conservation of biodiversity,
focusing on experiences from the Sundarbans area in Bangladesh. Following MEB
approaches, the chapter concluded that human sociality-based conservation
