The analysis, dissemination and adaptation of good practices have been a reality for a long time, carried out by various sectors of the public and private sectors. In the case of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM), this scenario is incipient and lacks conceptual and methodological development. Good practices in Integrated Coastal Management are fundamental for the sustainability of these areas. Although Brazil has a legal and executive framework for GCI established over 30 years ago, there is no instrument to identify and share these good practices. In this context, this article presents and analyzes the development of the Integrated Coastal Management Best Practices Assessment Model, which was tested in three assessments of specific management processes. The first two evaluations were carried out with the managers of the ‘Costa Sul’ Program, an integrated management experience on a regional scale in the South of Brazil. The third evaluation of the model was carried out at the Federal Conservation Unit ‘Estação Ecológica do Taim’ and analyzed the management of this protected area from the perspective of Integrated Coastal Management. Priority was given to the elaboration and application of the model, where its results were presented and analyzed as the main locus of the research, leaving the analysis of the results of the management processes (specifically) in the background. The Good Practice Assessment Model is a pioneering initiative in terms of systematic assessment of good practices in ICM in Brazil and can contribute to the definition of integrated strategic bases for decision making and support for adaptive management.

AbstractKorea may be considered to be in the vanguard of the inexorable shift towards the integrated management of marine and coastal affairs. The Korean Government established the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF) on 8 August 1996, integrating the ocean-related functions from ten government authorities in order to ensure consistent and effective marine policy. The main objective of this paper is to delineate the current issues of marine policy in Korea within the context of the changing global environment, and to discuss the chances for success of Korea's emerging marine policy. Special emphasis will be placed on the rapidly changing framework within which Korea's marine policy is devised, due to the establishment of the new ocean-related ministry.

In Colombia, in order to meet the challenges of coastal marine management and responding to international commitments, it was adopted in 2000 the “National Environmental Policy for the Sustainable Development of Ocean Spaces and Coastal and Insular Zones of Colombia - PNAOCI ”, which has an ecosystem approach and as a conceptual framework, the integrated management of coastal zones -MIZC (or integrated coastal management - MCI / integrated coastal management - GCI), seeking to balance environmental protection and economic development, to contribute to the Physical ordering of the territory (Territorial Ordering), from the environmental ordering. For this, criteria were defined to guide the definition of the coastal zone in the country and spatial units (Coastal Environmental Units – UACs, acronym in Spanish) were delimited, as continuous geographical areas, involving land and sea space, with clearly defined ecosystems, which they require a unified visualization and management that brings together local and subregional territorial entities; in addition to consolidating over 20 years, a conceptual, political, regulatory, technical and operational support. In the legal context, as of Law 1450 of 2011, the generation of normative support regarding the UACs and the Plans for the management and integrated management of coastal environmental units (POMIUAC, acronym in Spanish) was promoted, as a planning instrument (Decree 1120 of 2013, compiled in Decree 1076 of 2015); Likewise, based on practical cases, a methodological framework was built embodied in a technical guide for the preparation of the POMIUAC, adopted by Resolution 768 of 2017. On the other hand, although the advances in the coastal marine environmental regulation in Colombia are oriented under the MIZC, given the similarities in terms of definition, spatial scope, scope and methodology, that they have with marine spatial planning (PEM), it can be said that these processes developed in Colombia under the MIZC scheme contribute to the development of the PEM concept In the country, and in the opposite case, practical EMP exercises that are addressed could complement the advances that the country has made in this area under the policy and regulatory framework that supports it.

The coastal areas of India are getting greater importance in recent years, owing to increasing human population, urbanization and accelerated developmental activities. These anthropogenic activities have created conflict between physical, environmental and human dimensions.  Systematic knowledge and understanding of various dimensions of the coastal area shall guide for wise use of coastal resources, resolving human-induced problems, and improving governance systems. Integrated coastal management (ICM) is conceived as a holistic management tool working across sectoral, disciplinary, and institutional boundaries.  Any program aimed at integrated management of the coastal zone is to meet and overcome the challenges of building up and anchoring new institutional, technical, and administrative capacity. Capacity development on integrated management and planning are recently initiated at academic level in India.  UNDP defines capacity development as “the process through which individuals, organisations and societies obtain, strengthen and maintain the capabilities to set and achieve their own development objectives over time.  A capacity assessment provides a comprehensive perspective on capacities critical to the achievement of development objectives. Capacity need analysis are offering desired future capacities against current capacities and offers a systematic way of gathering critical knowledge and information on capacity asset.  Capacity assessment on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICM) in India has been conducted by surveying published literatures through data mining from databases.  In total seven thousand three hundred and fifty six indexed research papers which were published in Indias’ coastal areas between the years 1977 and 2008 were assessed for capacity need assessment purpose.  The literatures were classified under sixteen subject heads which are the essential components of ICM planning process.  The subject clusters were further classified into five levels viz., introductory level, process level, decision level, sustainable coastal zone management level, and innovative level.  Researches where does not happened on the particular subjects were classified as “no evidence of research”. Based on the content of the literature and a skill map prepared, it is found that the literatures are mostly under introductory level and they are mostly on science subjects with few on socio-economic and management subjects.  Considering the outcome of this literature survey and capacity analysis, the World Bank has accepted for financial assistance to establish National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management at Chennai, India.  The process of ICM capacity analysis in India is described in this paper.

Xiamen has marked its integrated coastal management (ICM) practice as PEMSEA's demonstration site since the 1990s. However, the role of Marine Functional Zoning (MFZ) in ICM has not yet been fully explored even though the planning process has been highlighted in some literature on Xiamen ICM mode. To showcase the contribution of MFZ as a practical approach for Xiamen ICM, the five dimensions of integration in ICM is applied as an analysis framework. Firstly, through compiling of the historical data and documents of the sea uses and marine environments, and socioeconomic status as well, the key drivers of initiating MFZ in the 1990s is summarized as increasing but incompatible and even conflicting sea uses, degrading marine environments due to negative effects of intensified human activities, and the lack of coordinating mechanism which has worsened the use-use and use-environment conflicts. Secondly, the technical guidelines and adaptive evolvement of Xiamen MFZ is introduced, and the achievements of Xiamen MFZ is explored. Based on the above analysis, the relationships of MFZ and ICM is looked into the dimensions of legislation, coordinating mechanism, scientific and technical support, integrated law enforcement and public participation; and how MFZ contributes to ICM in integration of dimensions of intergovernmental, inter-sectoral, land and sea, science and management, and multiple disciplinary is analyzed in-depth. It is concluded that MFZ has been a working approach in Xiamen to realize ICM from a conceptual call to a good practice on the ground, even challenges remain.

Integrated Coastal Management

At present, the ecological environment and resources of the global coastal zones are facing great pressures. Climate change leads to sea level rise, environmental change, stressful population increases and changes in demographics, all of which affect existing coastal management systems. Therefore, all coastal countries begin to increasingly attach importance to the integrated management of coastal zones. How to better adapt to current changes in global coastal zones is a question that every coastal country should think about. From sea- and land-partitioned management to land and sea coordination and from simple coastal management to the integration of the ecological environment and society, integrated management has been planned from many perspectives and levels. It plays a role in promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

A governança ambiental no Brasil tem avançado significativamente nas últimas décadas, principalmente no que concernem as políticas públicas. No contexto da descentralização do poder institucional, o município vem adquirindo papel de relevância como entidade executora das ações orientadas pela governança. No âmbito da gestão costeira, hoje há diversos meios legais que reafirmam a importância do gerenciamento do litoral em áreas densamente urbanizadas, nesse quesito, todos os níveis detêm diversos mecanismos que podem auxiliar significativamente para a gestão adequada das áreas litorais. Dessa forma, a partir das diretrizes da governança ambiental brasileira, o presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar a gestão costeira dos municípios litorâneos cearenses a partir da atuação das secretarias municipais de meio ambiente dos referentes municípios. Sendo assim, foi aplicado um questionário eletrônico direcionado aos gestores públicos de órgãos e/ou secretarias de meio ambiente. Em que foram analisados aspectos da sua estrutura técnica de implementação das políticas públicas de gestão costeira, bem como as respostas municipais de gestão com base local. Levou-se em consideração para esta análise apenas os municípios que possuem orla marítima.  Com base na estrutura que orienta a boa gestão, aqui entendida como Governança, foi possível identificar a capacidade técnica de resposta dos órgãos de meio ambiente dos municípios costeiros cearenses frente as problemáticas de gestão de suas orlas.  E sobre todas essas questões, a governança assume o papel direcionador de boas práticas para melhorar a gestão costeira.Palavras-chave: Governança.

In the context of the decentralization of institutional power, the municipality has been acquiring a relevant role as an executing entity of governance-oriented actions. In the context of coastal management, today there are several legal means that reaffirm the importance of coastal management in densely urbanized areas. In this regard, all levels have several mechanisms that can significantly assist in the proper management of coastal areas. Thus, based on the guidelines of the Brazilian environmental governance, this article aims to analyze the coastal management of the coastal municipalities of Ceará from the performance of the municipal environmental secretariats of the referred municipalities. Thus, an electronic questionnaire was applied to public managers of environmental agencies and / or departments. In which aspects of its technical structure for the implementation of coastal management public policies were analyzed, as well as the municipal based management responses. For this analysis, only the municipalities with seafronts were considered. Based on the structure that guides good management, understood here as Governance, it was possible to identify the technical capacity of the environmental agencies of Ceará coastal municipalities to respond to the problems of managing their borders. And on all these issues, governance assumes the guiding role of good practice for improving coastal management.Keywords: Governance. Coastal Management.

The Impact

The main purpose of this article is to analyze the dissemination of social reports among entrepreneurs in order to determine the number of reporting organizations and examples in which Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) areas enterprises report. We analyze the dissemination of social reports among entrepreneurs in Poland and determine the number of reporting organizations and examples in which CSR companies report. This work is a guide for entrepreneurs in Poland to build strategies and activities for transparency and communicating good practice. One of the research goals was to identify and evaluate communication activities with stakeholders in terms of responsible activities, social and environmental. The data analysis comes from a detailed literature review and the Responsible Business Forum (FOB) Reports database for 2008–2019 in Poland. The results of the survey show that many entrepreneurs in Poland, representing small, medium-sized (SME), and even large enterprises underestimate the importance of socially responsible activities. Entrepreneurs communicate with stakeholders to a limited extent and are not informed about good practices. The vast majority of the surveyed enterprises, especially large ones, prepare social reports, which result from obligation: requirements of Directive 2014/95/EU. The SME sector shows a lack of knowledge and uses individual marketing communication tools to a limited extent, limiting itself to advertising activities (very few companies prepare social reports). The article is a practical tip for enterprises showing the impact of business on changes towards sustainable development. Originality/value lies in the fact that the article presents selected research results on various aspects related to social reporting and communicating social and environmental activities to stakeholders.
