Further Development

Aquaculture is a technique to produce food that is under debate, due to its possible consequences for altering the economy, traditional fishing included, or the environment, even with doubts about the health of consumers. This document studies its social acceptance from the point of view of carrying capacity. This term is defined as the level at which this activity begins to be disproportionate and poses important disadvantages for society. In this context, we conducted 803 surveys in six coastal provinces in Spain. The results show that the acceptance of these products is good, implying that aquaculture is far from reaching its saturation point in society. Additionally, the respondents gave a higher priority to socio-economic objectives than to environmental ones. We can conclude that the further development of this sector is advisable in these provinces. The general perception of aquaculture is better among men, and also among higher-income consumers. Informative activities should be organized to target these more hesitant groups. Production structures should be revised to overcome biases in the population about the idea that the food obtained from aquaculture harms the environment or is less natural or healthy. The possible abuse of feed and chemicals spreads this idea, and this could affect the taste and quality adversely.

Difficult Part

In driving sustainable tourism, the concept of carrying capacity in tourism needs to be applied. This concept of carrying capacity gives a comprehensive emphasis in the development of tourism whether in physical, social or economic aspects. If this concept is applied, it is in determining the situation in a tourist destination whether it is still in a state that can be accepted by the stakeholders in tourism, namely tourists, locals and tour operators. In this paper, emphasis is given to social carrying capacity in tourism which is one of the parts in tourism carrying capacity. This social capacity is the most difficult part to examine because it involves unequal perceptions and views from various parties. It involves interactions between tourists and tourists that cover issues of congestion and the quality of their tourism and interactions between tourists and locals or hosts that involve issues of their quality of life. Due to that, this social capacity is quite difficult to implement in some tourist areas.

The University

In 1979, the University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology began two projects: The Big South Fork Folklife Study and Two Kentucky Wild Rivers: Present and Anticipated Demand, Public Preferences and Social Carrying Capacity. Although the two projects differed in scope, in sources of funding, in specific objectives, and in methodology, they shared the goal of providing sociocultural data necessary for adequate recreational planning and management of the region's water resources. Billie DeWalt has served as co-principal investigator of both projects, sharing that responsibility with Benita Howell in the Big South Fork study and with Eugenie Scott in the Kentucky Wild Rivers study. In addition to providing management data for planners, both projects have provided employment and research opportunities for numerous graduate assistants. So far, the products of both projects include four masters theses, numerous papers presented at meetings, and various technical reports. A symposium on recreational development in Eastern Kentucky, presented at the 1982 Society for Applied Anthropology Meetings, focused on interrelating the issues and findings common to both projects. The final report of the Big South Fork Folklife Study has been published (Howell 1981), and the final report of the Wild Rivers Project is forthcoming.

Composite Scores

Taking Sunan’s water resource carrying capacity as the research object, this article extracted three principal components from thirteen indicators influencing water resources carrying capacity through principal component analysis method. Then bestowing weights to the three components using entropy value method, the composite scores of Sunan’s water resource carrying capacity from 2002 to 2012 could be calculated.The result shows that, with the advancement of Sunan modernization, Sunan’s water resource carrying capacity will face a major test, thus requiring a reasonable and efficient use of water resources and giving full play to potential of water resources.
