TY - BOOK TI - Maritime spatial planning: past, present, future AU - Zaucha, J AU - Gee, K AB - Maritime or marine spatial planning has gained increasing prominence as an integrated, common-sense approach to promoting sustainable maritime development. A growing number of countries are engaged in preparing and implementing maritime spatial plans: however, questions are emerging from the growing body of MSP experience. How can maritime spatial planning deal with a complex and dynamic environment such as the sea? How can MSP be embedded in multiple levels of governance across regional and national borders – and how far does the environment benefit from this new approach?This open access book is the first comprehensive overview of maritime spatial planning. Situated at the intersection between theory and practice, the volume draws together several strands of interdisciplinary research, reflecting on the history of MSP as well as examining current practice and looking towards the future. The authors and contributors examine MSP from disciplines as diverse as geography, urban planning, political science, natural science, sociology and education; reflecting the growing critical engagement with MSP in many academic fields. This innovative and pioneering volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of maritime spatial planning, as well as planners and practitioners.Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Maritime/Marine Spatial Planning at the Interface of Research and PracticeChapter 2: The Ocean Perspective Chapter 3: Challenges and Opportunities for Ecosystem-Based Management and Marine Spatial Planning in the Irish SeaChapter 4: Systematic Conservation Planning as a Tool to Advance Ecologically or Biologically Significant Area and Marine Spatial Planning ProcessesChapter 5: Can Classical Location Theory Apply to Sea Space?Chapter 6: Maritime Spatial Planning and the EU’s Blue Growth Policy: Past, Present and Future Perspectives Chapter 7: Socio-cultural Dimensions of Marine Spatial PlanningChapter 8: Adding People to the Sea: Conceptualizing Social Sustainability in Maritime Spatial PlanningChapter 9: Politics and Power in Marine Spatial PlanningChapter 10: Towards a Ladder of Marine/Maritime Spatial Planning ParticipationChapter 11: Taking Account of Land-Sea Interactions in Marine Spatial PlanningChapter 12: Linking Integrated Coastal Zone Management to Maritime Spatial Planning: The Mediterranean ExperienceChapter 13: Stakeholder Processes in Marine Spatial Planning: Ambitions and Realities from the European Atlantic ExperienceChapter 14: Scenario-Building for Marine Spatial PlanningChapter 15: Managing Risk Through Marine Spatial PlanningChapter 16: The Role of the Law of the Sea in Marine Spatial PlanningChapter 17: The Need for Marine Spatial Planning in Areas Beyond National JurisdictionChapter 18: Evaluation of Marine Spatial Planning: Valuing the Process, Knowing the Impacts Chapter 19: Education and Training for Maritime Spatial Planners CY - Cham, Switzerland DA - 2019/01// PY - 2019 SP - 496 PB - Springer UR - https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-98696-8#about U1 - University of Gdańsk LA - English KW - Marine Energy KW - Human Dimensions KW - Marine Spatial Planning ER -
