ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER

Diunduh dari: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_disaster ……………… 28/11/2012

An environmental disaster is a disaster to the natural environment due to human activity, which distinguishes it from the concept of a

natural disaster.

Environmental disasters can have an effect on agriculture, biodiversity, the economy and human health. The causes include pollution, depletion of

natural resources, industrial activity or agriculture.

NATURAL DISASTER

Diunduh dari: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_disaster ……………… 28/11/2012

A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of, or effecting, the Earth; examples

include floods, severe weather, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other geologic processes.

A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage, and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake, the

severity of which depends on the affected population's resilience, or ability to recover.

An adverse event will not rise to the level of a disaster if it occurs in an area without vulnerable population.

In a vulnerable area, however, such as San Francisco, an earthquake can have disastrous consequences and leave

lasting damage, requiring years to repair.

GLOBAL COMMONS

Diunduh dari: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_commons ……………… 6/12/2012

The term Global Commons refers to the earth's unowned natural resources, such as the oceans, Earth's atmosphere, and outer

space. The definition does not specifically state define whether the

absence of ownership is traditional or deliberate. Resources such as the Northern and Southern polar regions may be subject to disputes by some states. These resources are central to life.

According to the World Conservation Strategy:"A commons is a tract of land or water owned or used jointly by

the members of a community. The global commons includes those parts of the Earth's surface beyond national jurisdictions - notably

the open ocean and the living resources found there - or held in common - notably the atmosphere. The only landmass that may be

regarded as part of the global commons is Antarctica ...“.

One issue that specifically affects the global commons is global warming /climate change.

TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS

Diunduh dari: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons ……………… 6/12/2012

In economics, the tragedy of the commons is the depletion of a shared resource by individuals, acting independently and rationally according to

each one's self-interest, despite their understanding that depleting the common resource is contrary to their long-term best interests.

In 1968, ecologist Garrett Hardin explored this social dilemma in "The Tragedy of the Commons", published in the journal Science.

The tragedy of the commons can be considered in relation to environmental issues such as sustainability. The commons dilemma

stands as a model for a great variety of resource problems in society today, such as water, land, fish, and non-renewable energy sources such

as oil and coal.Situations exemplifying the "tragedy of the commons" include the overfishing and destruction of the Grand Banks, the destruction of

salmon runs on rivers that have been dammed.Other situations exemplifying the "tragedy of the commons" include

pollution caused by driving cars. There are many negative externalities of driving; these include congestion, carbon emissions, and traffic

accidents.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource

GENERAL EXAMPLES OF POTENTIAL AND ACTUAL TRAGEDIES


Publicly shared resources

1. Radio frequencies – Unlicensed frequencies used for wireless communications, especially 802.11 a/b/g in the U.S., detailed under Part 15 (FCC rules) would be vulnerable to the overuse of high power transmitters, especially overdriven transmitters with dirty signal profiles, and especially when combined with omnidirectional antennas, had the FCC not mandated maximum transmission power for each class of device and limitations on their spectral profile.

2. Spam email degrades the usefulness of the email system and increases the cost for all users of the Internet while providing a benefit to only a tiny number of individuals.

3. Vandalism and littering in public spaces such as parks, recreation areas, and public restrooms.

Additionally, careless urination, defecation, and similar careless usage of public restrooms.

4. Knowledge commons encompass immaterial and collectively owned goods in the information age.

5. Freeways experience heavy traffic due to overuse.

GENERAL EXAMPLES OF POTENTIAL AND ACTUAL TRAGEDIES


Planet Earth ecology:

1. Uncontrolled human population growth leading to overpopulation2. Air, whether ambient air polluted by industrial emissions and cars

among other sources of air pollution, or indoor air.3. Water – Water pollution, Water crisis of over-extraction of

groundwater and wasting water due to overirrigation4. Forests – Frontier logging of old growth forest and slash and burn5. Energy resources and climate – Burning of fossil fuels and

consequential global warming6. Animals – Habitat destruction and poaching leading to the

Holocene mass extinction7. Oceans – Overfishing.
