Kebijakan pengelolaan terhadap suatu sumberdaya di era ini setidaknya telah memasukkan tiga unsur sebagai pertimbangan dasar. Ketiga unsur tersebut adalah ekonomi, sosial dan lingkungan. Pertimbangan ekonomi, menitikberatkan pada paradigma benefit yang dapat diperoleh dari kegiatan ekstraksi. Sumberdaya perikanan adalah sumberdaya yang renewable atau terbaharukan. Kebijakan pengelolaan seharusnya mempertimbangkan nilai keberadaan sumberdaya dan nilai warisan sumberdaya tersebut demi kebutuhan masa depan. Tulisan ini berupaya mengungkap bahwa nilai bukan manfaat (nilai keberadaan dan nilai warisan) sebagai nilai berdasarkan penghargaan masyarakat terhadap sumberdaya perikanan yang dapat memberikan pandangan tersendiri dalam kebijakan pengelolaan sumberdaya. Untuk itu, teknik Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), digunakan sebagai dasar untuk menghitung nilai bukan manfaat (Non-Use Value) tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Nilai Bukan Manfaat Danau Tempe adalah Rp.1.962.621.327 dan terdapat kecenderungan bahwa masyarakat memanfaatkan sumberdaya secara maksimal tanpa memperhatikan nilai keberadaan sumberdaya danau. Masyarakat di sekitar Danau Tempe sangat berharap kelestarian sumberdaya danau dapat dipertahankan demi kepentingan anak cucu di masa mendatang. Tittle: Economic Valution of Tempe Lake Resource, Wajo District, of South Sulawesi ProvinceRecently, policy in resource management has three important elements as basis for considerations.

This article explores the ecological potential in Job 14:7–12. The metaphor in Job 14 praises the life-giving potential of water to revive a dead tree before presenting its transient character, similar to human life. The article investigates the question of why the author of Job finds it appropriate to use water and water-related images to contrast the potential of water to revive a dead tree with the transient mortals who disappear at death like great bodies of water in times of drought. Using elements of historical, critical, and literary approaches, as well as metaphor theory, and applying the Earth Bible Principle of intrinsic worth, this article argues that water should not be viewed as a limitlessly renewable resource, but a precious gift requiring responsible management.

Densification by greening, or what we can learn from Singapore (essay) Singapore, a city-state with a high population density, wants to give its population, its tourists and its economy a living and livable city and has developed the concept of the Garden City. Parks, nature reserves, forest, green corridors, trees, botanical gardens, horizontal and vertical greening of buildings, as well as popular participation, are all important for this vision of the city. Singapore is counting on dense construction alongside “greening” and biodiversity. Let us be prepared to learn from Singapore's example! Our land is also a non-renewable resource. To protect our ever more limited agricultural land, we should renounce any extension of building land, and free ourselves from the expanding carpets of suburban development. Let us build multiple urban neighbourhoods with mixed use and more biodiversity. Let us develop new types of communal gardens. Urban gardens in the widest sense – from private gardens to garden cooperatives, to parks and botanical gardens – are a part of our living space. The city should be our garden.
