| Abstract | As the new millenium dawns upon us, increased attention and concern have concentrated on the state of the environment as well as on attempts for planning and management on an expanded scale and within an ecosystemic context. At the same time, the rapidity of change, a fast transforming technology, and natural and anthropogenic changes in the surrounding environment, have accentuated both short and long-term consequences on both local and global environments. Terms like globalization, complexification, interdependence, turbulence, uncertainty, etc, are all part of trends and developments affecting both present and future. One may actually talk about a planet that is characterized by three particular "vulnerabilities" i.e., an ecological vulnerability having to do with environmentally sensitive regions and limited resources; economic vulnerabilityhaving to do with past practices of traditional exploitation and state economics; and, finally, social vulnerability having to do with people over-utilizing resources as well as complex social, economic, and ecological forces affecting natural equilibria. |
