This article explores the impact of public entrepreneurship on the Cheonggye Stream Restoration Project (CSRP) as an urban renewal project. The article presents the four elements of entrepreneurship: innovativeness, risk-taking, proactiveness, and network governance. Innovativeness was an important motive to start the CSRP. The risk-taking and proactive leadership of the mayor had a positive effect on boosting internal cohesion among public employees and implementing the CSRP. Network governance helped manage conflicts among the related stakeholders and attract support to the CSRP. The article suggests that it was the effort to share the spirit and practice of public (or social) entrepreneurship with the people -- including the general citizens, public servants, experts, and interest groups -- that eventually led to the success of the restoration project.

"River restoration has expanded exponentially in the last three decades, with increased investment by government agencies, private developers, and NGOs. The available literature -- both scholarly works and government guidance manuals -- has grown proportionately, but has been almost entirely about ecological, hydrological, and geomorphological aspects of restoration. Yet the primary issues faced by many restoration programs have more to do with legal, economic, and institutional barriers and public perception and acceptance, than with physical and ecological constraints (though these can be formidable as well). Diverse issues such as the installation of habitat structures and replanting along a small creek by a local group, or a major program to restore complex habitat, a more natural flow regime, and sediment supply to a river below a dam, require an understanding of the social dimensions of river restoration projects. For anyone funding, permitting, planning, designing, or building river restoration projects, a concise, up-to-date, clearly organized treatment of the critical socio-economic issues relevant to river restoration will be a very useful asset. Most people involved in restoration projects (ecologists, engineers, landscape architects, hydrologists) lack a strong background in the social sciences. Increasingly however, these professionals understand that they must consider social dimensions. This book will fill a critical gap in their libraries summarizing how social approaches can contribute to river restoration projects and policies. The aim of this book is to present and synthesize understanding from recent advances in social sciences related to river restoration. It will cover not only supposedly "intangible" social phenomena -- such as ethics, culture and justice -- but also very tangible practical aspects -- including policy, governance, project management, decision making and stakeholder interactions -- to give a complete picture of the sometimes complex interaction of issues in river restoration."--

Verlagsinfo: This practical and informative book describes how to create aquaculture systems that are not wasteful or polluting, and are self-sustaining. It focuses on the design and development of natural food chains as a solution to the problems associated with fish farming, and offers a design framework for successful ecological aquaculture in all but the most extreme climates. While primarily aimed at people with a freshwater resource, Ecological Aquaculture is also a work of groundbreaking ideas and practices for anyone interested in advances in environmental management and aquatic ecosystem enhancement and repair, aquaculturalists, environmental practitioners, farmers and landowners, growers of ornamental pond plants or designers and installers of reed beds for wastewater treatment. Ecological Aquaculture contains material about environmental project construction that provides useful background information for planning authorities, serves as a reference work for academic research and as a practical guide for conservation programmes, such as the restoration of rivers, streams, ponds and lakes. The book includes two AIDGAP (Aid to Identification in Difficult Groups of Animals and Plants) freshwater identification guides.
