An Institutional Framework to Facilitate Sustainable and Integrated Natural, Cultural and Built Resources Governance

有效管理自然和文化资源以促进可持续发展是一项紧迫的国家优先事项。管理土地所有权和使用的法律和政策过时、复杂、脱节，未能向负责管理自然和文化资源的决策者提供连贯的信息。这对确保资源的可持续发展构成了重大障碍，危及澳大利亚未来的环境福祉。这项研究的目的是第一次提供一个法律和政策框架，将土地所有权和可持续发展原则结合起来，以便更好地了解和管理我们对子孙后代的环境和社会义务。

Effective management of natural and cultural resources for sustainability is an urgent national priority. The laws and policies governing land ownership and use are outdated, complex, disjointed and fail to provide coherent information to decision makers responsible for managing natural and cultural resources. This presents a significant barrier to ensuring sustainable development of resources jeopardising Australia's future environmental well being. This research aims to be the first to provide a legal and policy framework which integrates land ownership and principles of sustainable development to facilitate greater understanding and management of our environmental and social obligations for future generations.
