Developing a Sustainable Enterprise with Indigenous Communities: A Triple Bottom Line Analysis

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project explores opportunities for sustainable development in a remote Aboriginal community in the Northern territories. Using a triple bottom line approach, the research identifies the range of social, environmental and economic issues that need to be addressed in developing a sustainable enterprise involving Aboriginal communities. The project is significant because it will provide employment for local communities in their land and build capacity for economic independence. The triple bottom line approach is also innovative since it explicitly assesses social outcomes for the community. Other outcomes include a Masters thesis, social impact assessment instrument, and three articles in refereed journals.
