This lecture addresses sustainability, relating the traditional ahupua`a land division and contemporary watershed management. Lessons are drawn from Hawaiian and local group efforts on Hawai‘i, Kaua‘i, Maui, Moloka‘i, and O‘ahu. The challenges in place-based management and community collaborative and partnership arrangements are addressed, as well as principles for documenting cultural and heritage landscapes and plan-making in urban and rural areas.
