About this title

Synopsis

Integrated Mission-directed Research covers important issues in integration science, particularly in the areas of natural resource management and regional development, supported by case studies that detail how to engage individuals and communities, and support policy decisions and development. The authors explore case studies undertaken in Australia, Europe, Thailand and Indonesia, as well as perspectives from the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. Closing chapters demonstrate key challenges for researchers and essential questions that should be answered when trying to set up integrated research. Potential benefits that could be obtained from effective integrated mission directed research are included, as well as assessment questions to assist researchers to see if such benefits have been truly obtained.
