چکیده

This study explores the adaptive management techniques employed in coastal resource conservation, aiming to understand how different stakeholders integrate dynamic management practices to address these challenges effectively. This qualitative study involved semi-structured interviews with ۲۷ stakeholders, including local community leaders, conservation experts, policymakers, and representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The participants were selected through purposive sampling to cover a broad range of experiences and insights. The interviews focused on their perspectives and practices in adaptive management, with the data collection process continuing until theoretical saturation was achieved. The analysis was conducted using thematic analysis to identify recurring themes related to adaptive management strategies. Four main themes emerged from the analysis: Adaptive Strategies, Challenges and Barriers, Conservation Outcomes, and Stakeholder Perceptions. These themes were detailed further into sub-categories, such as Risk Assessment, Resource Allocation, Stakeholder Engagement, Regulatory Constraints, Financial Limitations, Community Resistance, Biodiversity Enhancement, Pollution Control, Ecosystem Resilience, Sustainable Practices Adoption, Perceived Effectiveness, Suggestions for Improvement, and Future Prospects. Each category was supported by specific concepts derived from the interview data, illustrating the complexities and multifaceted nature of adaptive management in coastal conservation. The study underscores the importance of a flexible, inclusive, and integrated approach to adaptive management in coastal conservation. Effective management strategies should incorporate stakeholder engagement, economic considerations, and local knowledge to enhance the sustainability and efficacy of conservation efforts. The findings highlight the need for adaptive governance frameworks that can respond to the socio-economic and environmental dynamics of coastal ecosystems.This study explores the adaptive management techniques employed in coastal resource conservation, aiming to understand how different stakeholders integrate dynamic management practices to address these challenges effectively.
