PREAMBLE
Global environmental problems are inter-related each other. The production,
circulation and consumption of resources should be discussed in relation to arange of spatial scales, and stakeholders should be involved in these discussions.
The linkage among stakeholders through a resource are not always very clear.
Citizens in a city, farmers, and the forest managers in upstream are interlinked
through water utilization. A supply chain of a product may connect the suppliersand consumers in global scale. Sometimes they do not recognize theirconnections, and cause unfairness of resource use.
We need to take socio-ecological issues into account relating to human wellbeing, and fairness and/or equity in resource use to attain sustainable systems.
Approaches to make the connections among stakeholders visible and effective
governance involving stakeholders in various spatial scales are necessary to attainfair resource use.
In this symposium, we try to discuss the issues on fair resource use fromwatershed scale to global, in particular focusing on the (1) resource management
governance considering human well-being, (2) necessary tools and system toattain sustainable resource use in multi-scale, and (3) fairness and equity forresource use among multi-stakeholders in multi-scale from the legal, economicand ethical perspectives.

OUTLINE OF THE SESSIONS

1. Adaptive Governance of Social-Ecological Systems
This session overviews and discusses the basic ideas, current status and future agenda ofadaptive governance for multi-scale issues. Special attention will be paid to how the adaptive
governance can reconcile the different needs (well-being) or agenda of stakeholders dispersed atdifferent spatial levels. Case studies on governance from watersheds, etc. will be introduced.
2. Approaches to Bridging Temporal-Spatial ScalesThis session discusses various approaches to analyze multi-resources, multi-scales, and multistakeholders, especially focusing on material flow, environmental footprint analysis,
environmental traceability methodology using stable isotope analysis, and well-being assessment.
3. Multi-Scalar and Multi-Actor Equity and Fairness
This session overviews and discusses the equity and fairness among different areas and actors,
particularly those occurred between advanced and developing countries, and present and(virtual) future generations from the different disciplines.
