Module 2: Tools and Governance |
The first module on Tools and Governance provides an understanding of
what good governance is, its characteristics and the rules of good
governance, and what good management is, its importance for coastal
areas, and tools for implementing good management practices.
The first lecture on "Good Governance" covers the characteristics of
good governance, its place in sustainable development and the rules of
good governance seen in coastal legislation and policy. The
relevance of environmental ethics is discussed and students are asked
to apply it in an analysis of the environmental decision making process
for the proposed pebble bed modular reactor on the west coast of South
Africa.
The second lecture discusses the essence of good management, management
of coastal resources and gives an introduction to tools for such
management, namely, ICZM, EIA and SIA.
Learning objectives :
By the end of the course the students should have an understanding of:
- characteristics of good governance and management
- the rules of good governance seen in coastal legislation and
policy, and the relevance of environmental management for environmental
decision making
- the essence of good management and how coastal resources are managed.
- tools for management of the coastal zone, such as integrated
coastal zone management, environmental impact assessment, and social
impact assessment.
Literature sources on these topics are provided.
Finally, the students are expected to apply the knowledge acquired in:
- a discussion of the decision making for a pebble bed modular
reactor on the west coast of South Africa, guided by a case study of an
EIA for a proposed coastal development.
- the analysis of an EIA for a wind farm in the Western Cape
- a self-test
