Document Summary
Collaboration is working together, information exchange, modifications to meet everyone"s needs, sharing resources, joint decision-making. Co-ordination: harmonious adjustment, have to agree to collaborate in order to co- ordinate. Arrangement in which government agency shares or delegates some of its legal authority regarding a resource or issue with local inhabitants of an area. In canada, often these agreements are arranged with aboriginal peoples regarding resource management (james bay and northern quebec, 1975) Policies and approaches should embrace the uncertain, the unexpected and the unknown: management is an experiment of trial and error: learning by doing in a scientific way. Principles: learning by doing, integrations of different knowledge systems, collaboration and power sharing, management flexibility. Resource and environmental management plans usually do not have a legal basis. Regional and land-use, on the other hand, do. Therefore, if we can link our resource and environmental management goals with these legally supported plans, there is a greater chance of getting the recommendations acted up.
