Abstract

"The paper presents the development, the composition and the application of the social-ecological systems framework. The paper lays the theoretical and methodological foundation of a research on analysing urban lake systems in India using the social-ecological systems framework. The discussion on urban lake systems in India, however, is kept outside the paper. The social-ecological system framework has a deep intellectual foundation of the philosophy and works of Elinor Ostrom and Vincent Ostrom. The chapter begins with a discussion on the works of the Ostroms that led to the development of the social-ecological system framework. The next section is about the SES and includes description of the structure and the component parts of the framework. The final section describes the current applications of the SES and the possible opportunities and challenges of application of the framework with respect to analysing urban lake systems. The paper is a first draft and work in progress and suggestions and comments are highly appreciated."
