U.S.-Australia Joint Workshop: Selection and Delimitation of Parks and Protected Areas/University of New England, Armidale, Australia/ January 1996

9513578 Friesema该奖项将支持12名美国调查人员参加一个与公园和自然保护区的适当边界划定有关的研讨会。研讨会将于1996年1月下旬在澳大利亚新南威尔士州阿米代尔的新英格兰大学举行。研讨会的美国组织者是西北大学环境政策项目主任H.Paul Friesma博士和Argonne国家实验室环境恢复系统中心生态和自然资源团队负责人Ronald Sundell博士。澳大利亚的组织者是新英格兰大学水政策研究中心的执行主任John J.Pigram教授。研讨会是根据美澳合作科学计划进行的，澳大利亚的支持是通过澳大利亚工业、科学和技术部(DIST)提供的。在选择和划定公园和自然保护区时，需要考虑生物物理、社会文化和管理因素。一个关键问题是确定将纳入适当资源属性并有助于实现公园管理的目标和目的的边界。随着公园和保护区面临来自一系列来源的越来越大的压力，公园和保护区的边界划定问题在美国和澳大利亚都受到越来越多的关注。研讨会将审议对生态属性、生物物理变量、管理考虑因素和社区态度的评估，这些评估被认为是建立和维护公园和保护区的关键。研讨会提供了一个及时讨论两国共同问题和关切的机会。

9513578 Friesema This award will support the participation of twelve U.S. investigators to take part in a workshop concerned with the delineation of appropriate boundaries for parks and nature reserves. The workshop will be held at the University of New England in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia, in late January 1996. The American organizers of the workshop are Dr. H. Paul Friesma, Director of the Environmental Policy Program at Northwestern University, and Dr. Ronald Sundell, leader of the ecology and natural resources team of the Argonne National Laboratory Center for Environmental Restoration Systems. The Australian organizer is Prof. John J. Pigram, Executive Director of the Center for Water Policy Research at the University of New England. The workshop is being conducted under the U.S.- Australia Cooperative Science Program and support in Australia is provided through the Australian Department of Industry, Science and Technology (DIST). Biophysical, sociocultural and managerial factors need to be considered in the selection and delineation of park and natural reserve sites. A key question is the determination of boundaries which will incorporate appropriate resource attributes and contribute towards the attainment of the goals and objectives of park management. Park and reserve boundary delineation issues are receiving increasing attention in both the U.S. and Australia as parks and reserves come under increasing pressure from a range of sources. The workshop will consider the assessments of ecological attributes, biophysical variables, managerial considerations and community attitudes deemed essential in the establishment and maintenance of parks and reserves. The workshop provides a timely opportunity to discuss common problems and concerns in the two countries.
