Sustainable Development: A holistic approach to natural resources management, Yacov Y. Haines (1992)

Extract

[...] To conclude, the Holistic Approach has been applied by most institutional matters and development agencies around the world. And the first application of this method was on hydrology and water resources using the same components. And the five principles constitute the fundamental process of this approach to the aim of having a better viable world. Meanwhile, to be effective, this approach needs appropriate institutional infrastructure and the collaboration of scientific and societal decision-making. [...]

[...] In two ways, on one hand to resolve global problems, on the other hand, to address hard methods using a holistic approach to natural resource management and the expected success for sustainable draws. To apply sustainability, first it would be better to adapt policy decisions with adequate institutional systems, teach new waves of generations to design economic development that does not damage the environment, reduce the gap between poor and wealthy countries, manage our human capital to address problems and reconcile the effectiveness of expert advice, William Ruckelshaus.

[...] Sustainable Development: A holistic approach to natural resources management, Yacov Y. Haines (1992) Summary This paper written by Yacov woke the scientific community about environmental degradation. Every damage influences economic development. This situation opened debates to design new policies for the next generations. Recently, a report focused on some reflections about possible environmental consequences of the environment such as health, increased death rates, concentration of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, and forcing humans to migrate. This bad situation convinced the scientific world to reform development planning, policy, and decision, with the purpose to improve life for the next generation. [...]

[...] Practically, sustainable development is a new way to reduce the gap between poor and wealthy and mitigate environmental degradation at the global level. Meanwhile, this concept meets difficulties on spatial weaknesses, it's not clearly defined to apply at the target location, in a quantifiable state, or provoke new forms of disease and the need of institutional constraints to maintain the objectives. Accounting for interaction among a system's components and between the system and its environment This last principle combined theoretical-philosophical and operational-pragmatic dimensions. [...]

[...] Information collected can improve risk management and help in decision-making. Expected values are assessed two in short-term and long-term. Nevertheless, expected results may be a false question of development, so it would be useful to add conditional expected value for the purpose of sustainable development. Impact analysis studies the relation of present management to the extended vision for future opportunities, options, policies, needs, consequences and impacts. To define impact analysis, it is a strategic planning in the larger sense of sensitive analysis focused on evaluating output with changes in policy decisions and other system parameters. [...]
