摘要: Applying sustainability at an operational level requires understanding the linkages between socioeconomic and natural systems. We identified in a case study of Lake St. Clair (LSC) region, part Laurentian Great Lakes system. Our research phases included: (1) investigating revising existing coupled human systems frameworks to develop framework for this study; (2) testing refining by hosting 1-day stakeholder workshop (3) creating causal loop diagram (CLD) illustrate relationships among systems’ key components. With assistance, we four interrelated pathways that include water use discharge, land use, tourism shipping impact ecological condition LSC. The interrelationships are further illustrated CLD with several feedback loops. suggest holistic approach can be applied other studies inspire development dynamic models capable informing decision making sustainability.
