Community empowerment for environmental restoration and management
Over-population and land use activities affect different ecotypes’ dynamism in urban and rural environments. Floodplains, forests, stream channels, vernal pools, salt marshes and riparian areas are among the most sensitive ecosystems that are being degraded by human and industrial activities around the world and especially in low income or poor communities. For example, Jorgenson’s study on Consumption and environmental degradation provides empirical evidence suggesting that the effects of certain predictor variables on environmental impacts do vary among world-system zones. Household income inequality in the core has a positive effect on per capita footprints while the impact of the former in all other zones is negative (Jorgenson 2003).
