商品簡介
This book provides an in-depth exploration of islands from a human geography perspective, with contributions from leading scholars within the field and international examples of topical debates within island studies. A range of diverse and challenges and issues are analysed using multiple theoretical, methodological and empirical contexts.
Questions of environmental governance and management are explored, from seabed mining in Australasia to waste and energy production in the Caribbean, to questions of climate finance and economic fairness. The changing land use of islands is analysed in Bangladesh, using GIS and remote sensing data, to offer important insights into planning for sustainable land use. Island feminism is analysed in the Aegean, Pacific and Caribbean to examine gendered experiences and the organization of island communities. In Tasmania, perceptions and experiences of lighthouses are explored, drawing on a phenomenological approach to understand the relationship between the built and natural environment. The cultural heritage of islands and conservation of protected areas is considered in New Zealand, drawing on concepts of nature and culture, and the influence of ‘islandness’ on heritage management. A ‘round table discussion chapter’, where contributors reflect on their approaches and perspectives, enables the reader to reflect on their own practices. The concluding chapter offers reflections on the future of island geography.
