Adaptive Management

A Review and Framework for Integration with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis

  • Chapter
Reclaiming the Land

Abstract

Conventional management practice has traditionally focused on finding the best available policy option. Given the uncertain and ever-changing nature of environmental and social conditions, however, this has proven to be a daunting task. Adaptive management acknowledges that no single policy can be selected, but rather a set of alternatives should be dynamically tracked to reveal the best course of action at any given time. Although adaptive management concepts were introduced more than twenty years ago, their implementation is generally piecemeal; fully developed adaptive planning and procedural frameworks have been limited to large-scale projects in long-term natural management, where uncertainty is often overwhelming. Nevertheless, even conventional managers of smaller projects are confronted with the same problems and may go through the frustrating experience of changing their management strategy when it fails. In this chapter, we review regulatory policies and adaptive management implementations across a wide range of projects and application areas. Our review indicates a need to integrate adaptive management with a set of decision-making tools that will allow it to build on current management approaches. We are thus proposing a solution in which we choose a strong adaptive management framework, for which there exist many support tools in the literature, and integrate it with multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) as a method for dealing with uncertainty when selecting a management option. The two methods complement each other and fit together smoothly, forming a comprehensive management framework.
