Document Summary
Today: look at case study in fiji (from reading) Note that scales here are sorted from largest to smallest. From a physical geography perspective, the city scale can be regional, a conservation area, or a stream bed. So the order would then look like this: global, nation-state, city, regional. Note: the operational scale interacts with the observational scale. The case study of marine governance in fiji involves two levels of management: community-based approach and eco-regional approach. This level of management may be too small. This is more spread out than the community-based approach. May go beyond the context of village. Connects ridges of mountains to marine reefs. Also consists of the following: scalar fix. Fixes politics of scale as name suggests. Scale management is somewhere in between: scalar tensions. Between planning, implementation, and practice (i. e. perhaps regional + local scalar tensions) Green consumption: individual (focus on scalar narrative, corporations, solve global problems through local action.
