Simulation is used to explore the effect of spatial heterogeneity and spatial closures on the ability of feedback-control management strategies to achieve goals relating to conservation and utilization of fishery resources. The operating model underlying the projections is based on pink ling, Genypterus blacodes, off southern Australia and assumes that animals are sedentary following settlement. The management strategies are able to move the resource towards the target level in the absence of spatial closures even though assessment results are biased. The probability of reducing the stock below its limit reference point is higher when growth rates vary spatially, but the effect is small. The probability of the stock being above its target reference point is lower when one of the smaller spatial areas is closed. However, performance is markedly different when a larger fraction of the total area is closed, with stock size being substantially larger than the target at the end of the projection period.

There exist few recommendations for managing stocks with spasmodic recruitment, despite such stocks being not uncommon. Management procedures (MPs), developed for two species of redfish (Sebastes mentella and Sebastes fasciatus) in eastern Canada, are recommended for setting catch limits during periods of high and low abundance. A well-designed fishery-independent trawl survey is essential to provide advance warning of strong recruitment events and project future recruitment. Under an “inventory management” strategy, a more appropriate aim in spasmodic stocks may be to maximize the number of years with “good catches,” instead of maximizing total catches, as is traditionally considered in management strategy evaluation (MSE). Following a spasmodic recruitment event, an empirical harvest control rule based on larger fish delays the harvest of large cohorts by a few years, targets more commercially valuable fish sizes, and reduces the risk of growth overfishing. Capped MPs produced longer periods of large catches than uncapped MPs. MPs allowed for low harvests during periods of low abundance, thus avoiding unnecessary hardship in the industry. MPs evaluated here could be good candidates for other stocks with similar or less extreme recruitment variability.

Since 1900, Semarang City has been meeting its industrial water needs by pumping groundwater through its underlying aquifers. The trend toward exploiting groundwater resources has driven the number of deep wells and their production capacity to increase, and therefore leads to the water table to drop from time to time, which has been marked as one of the primary causes of land subsidence there. The main aim of the current study was to numerically model the temporal and spatial evolution of groundwater table under excess abstraction so that a groundwater management strategy can be accordingly drawn up for ensuing the sustainability of groundwater resources in the future. A series of numerical simulations were carried out to take into account hydrogeological data, artificial and natural discharges of deep wells, and boundary effects in Semarang City. The groundwater modeling is calibrated under two flow conditions of the steady state from 1970 to 1990 and the transient state from 1990 to 2005 for six observation wells distributed in Semarang City. Four scenarios that reflect potential management strategies were developed, and then their effectiveness was systematically investigated. The results of our study indicate that the implementation of proper groundwater control management and measure is able to restore the groundwater level to rise back in Semarang City, and in turn achieve the sustainability of groundwater resources.

In this study, we examine the performances of current stock assessment methods with respect to their ability to (i) provide estimates of maximum sustainable yield (MSY), FMSY, and BMSY and (ii) assess stock status and exploitation level relative to MSY targets. The robustness of the current International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) management strategy is then evaluated with respect to uncertainty about the true population dynamics and contrasted with a simpler management strategy based solely on a size limit. Reference points are more robust to dynamic uncertainty than the estimates of absolute values and trends in F and spawning stock biomass. However, their performances depend on the underlying dynamics (they perform better when fluctuations come from changes in the carrying capacity than migration) and on when they are implemented relative to the intrinsic cycle of the population. Reference points based on F were less biased and more precise than those based on biomass and (or) yield. Although F0.1 appeared to be the best proxy for FMSY, it cannot indicate past and current levels of exploitation relative to FMSY when there is uncertainty about the dynamics. Finally, the F0.1 management strategy of ICCAT performed only slightly better than a simpler strategy based on size limit and led to lower catch levels.

The background of this research is the existence of zero infak phenomenon in Namira Lamongan mosque. This phenomenon encourages researchers to take research that discusses the financial management strategies used until the manager is brave in applying zero infak system. This research uses qualitative approach with case study strategy. Data collection is done through interviewing techniques with related parties and the documents concerned. Analytical techniques carried out in this research are the technique of source triangulation, pattern matching techniques, and descriptive qualitative analysis techniques. The results of this study indicate that the financial management strategy relies on the founders who are usually referred to as yayasan. The phenomenon of zero infak Namira mosque occurs because the mosque's expenditure is too large compared infak income. So the yayasan fund becomes the main role in covering all the shortcomings.Keywords: infak, financial management, mosque finance, Namira Lamongan Mosque

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the management strategy changes of a government-hosted festival from the government’s perspective based on Ansell and Gash’s (2008) definitive criteria of collaborative governance. Design/methodology/approach This is a longitudinal case study of Hi Seoul Festival (HSF) in South Korea from 2003 to 2013. First, a detailed description of HSF management strategy change over time is presented through an analysis of internal government documents. Then, factors influencing management strategy changes are investigated through interviews with governmental and professional stakeholders. Findings The content analysis of the internal government documents reveals that HSF’s management strategy changed between collaborative governance and contracting out multiple times. The follow-up interviews then found that the prehistory experiences in managing festivals, the change of festival goals, and political leverages influenced the management strategy changes. Originality/value The government is one of the key stakeholders of festivals, which sometimes hosts and manages its own festivals. However, how a government manages its own festival is rarely studied. This study would add new insights into the studies of government-hosted festivals.

The developer of the Confederation Bridge Project in eastern Canada is successfully implementing a life-of-project environmental management strategy for this privately-funded public project. The cornerstone of this strategy is the Environmental Management Plan (EMP), an umbrella document which describes how the developer is managing all environmental aspects of the project throughout the construction phase and the subsequent 35-year period of private ownership. The EMP is comprised of several dynamic plans and programmes. Owing to unique circumstances, the EMP was developed prior to the completion of the environmental assessment, providing an example of the benefit of such, especially for a finance-build-own-operate-transfer infrastructure project. The experience of this project leads to the conclusion that the use of environmental management systems to encapsulate environmental management strategies early in project planning would be beneficial.

Liquid waste management in coastal areas is a challenging issue, because recipe solutions applied so far have not met the expectations fully. Therefore decision-makers, planners, engineers as well as the inhabitants of these places are looking for a better approach that will adequately handle the problem and perform reliable solutions. It is the aim of this paper to review the recent situation of liquid waste management for coastal areas in general, and discuss it from the point of view of Turkey in particular. A simple and applicable waste management strategy is also proposed in the paper and its merits are illustrated in a case study. Finally, anticipating the wide applications of such systems in coastal establishments, some recommendations are forwarded.
