This article is a comparative study on the representation of islands in cinema and how film viewers make sense of islandscapes by activating cognitive processes and previous knowledge about islands and cinema. I focus on Bergman’s Summer with Monika (1952) and L. Wertmüller’s Swept Away (1974) in order to identify those cognitive processes in films from two different cinematic traditions and times. The concept of island is a domain that includes knowledge about islands, human experiences of islands and dynamic cognitive structures (see Lakoff and Johnson 1980). In this article I integrate those elements to a more comprehensive view of meaning making in cinema that includes several layers. At a cognitive level, image schematic representations can evoke standard metaphors such as island is container or island is support, but additional meanings such as island is paradise and freedom is islandscape emerge. At a discursive level, islands are often situated in the space of the Other versus the Self generally located in the mainland, and this ideological construct is related to a central tenet in the Western worldview: the opposition Nature/Human. Although these films dramatize possible biocentric alternative views such as reinhabitation (Snyder 2013), the dominant anthropocentric worldview is still favored.

The concept of smallness is not only found in Island Studies but also in International Relations, a study that discusses the interaction of political units in the international world. Both Island Studies and International Relations see smallness as a characteristic that can influence the behavior of small island states. This paper tries to bring together the two studies by discussing the case of Bermuda, an island with a semi-autonomous status which has a level of sovereignty close to that of sovereign states. The authors argue that smallness does not always translate into a completely negative condition. Some small states actually depart from their weak position in the international world to then develop their soft power, or the ability to attract the attention of other international actors in a non-coercive manner. In the case of Bermuda, its limited bargaining position in the international world actually makes it more focused on developing sports as its leading sector. Through the sports sector, Bermuda develops its brand to furtherly engage with other international actors and gains economic benefits from it.

The location in Cornwall (UK) known as Tintagel Island is, in fact, a peninsula of a type that has been referred to as an ‘almost island’ by virtue of having many island-like characteristics. Tintagel is best known as an ancient heritage site and, in the modern era at least, access from the adjacent cliff lines has been difficult, requiring a steep descent to a low, narrow isthmus and a steep ascent at the other side. In 2015 the English Heritage (EH) organisation announced a competition to design a bridge between the cliffs and the Tintagel site in an effort to modernise and maximise its appeal and ease of pedestrian access. This announcement mobilised contrasting discourses between Cornish heritage advocates and EH that centred on both the almost islandness of the locale (and the degree to which that would be compromised by bridging) and its essential heritage profile. These debates, the successful bridge design and its opening are analysed with particular regard to the cultural disruptions arising from the site’s modification.

Overlooked connections between sustainable development goals (SDG) and principles of resilience (POR) drive this case study through theoretical ‘Streams of Resilience’ thinking to expose disjuncts in gastronomy, tourism, and domestic development policy on Ly Son Island Vietnam. Grounded approach qualitative methodology supports critique of tourism developments filtered through sustainability-impact trilogy dimensions. Findings suggest that socio-economic and natural ecosystem ‘slow accumulation impacts’ result from internal and external geo-political forces. The critical carrying capacity issues for Ly Son are compounded: first by the internal success of garlic-based agritourism development; and second, Vietnam’s desire to increase ‘on-Island’, investment in tourism infrastructure as a sovereignty response to external influences in a disputed Eastern Sea. Global mobility dilemmas trigger island community and national dialogues that must go beyond sustainable livelihoods to ‘all-around’ resilient ecosystems.

When an island, an isolated space, is connected to land or other islands, it brings many changes. In other words, the change in traffic conditions is an important variable altering and determining the characteristics of the island. The objectives of this study were to examine the changes in the island region due to the construction of the land to island bridge and propose policy measures for the sustainable development of the changing island society. It is undeniable that the opening of the land to island bridge has a profound impact on the lives of islanders, the economic conditions of the island, and the environment. They change the island as fast as the dramatic change in transportation (from ships to cars). Although it is impossible to go against this trend, it is necessary to ponder the conservation of each island’s unique value, the ontology of the island, before constructing the land to island bridge. If so, what should be prepared to create a sustainable island society after opening the land to island bridge? First, sufficient discussion should be made on the construction of the land to island bridge. Second, when the land to island bridge will be constructed, it is needed to increase the receptive capacity of the islanders during the construction period. Third, a long-term development plan specifically for the island should be established before the land to island bridge is completed. Fourth, it is necessary to develop content using local resources instead of letting outsiders consume island space. Fifth, the changing island society must prepare a third place for maintaining the community.

The Bajau are a sea nomad group in Indonesia with the largest proportion of the population living nearby or utilizing marine resources in the fragile pelagic zone. In general, the Bajau have been a left-behind group and thus occupied a peripheral role in coastal and marine management and conservation. In Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi Province, the Bajau communities are marginalized in terms of policy recognition and development plan. This paper explores how a co-management system which is a platform to synchronize the community and organization needs in the coastal management and customary practices has failed to recruit the Bajau’s participation. The primary data were collected using multi-sited ethnographic method in five Bajau villages in Wakatobi and using key informant interviews with related stakeholders. The inter-customary controls for coastal and marine management, the issue of social cohesion within the Bajau communities, and the lack of institutional support were investigated as drivers of co-management failure in Wakatobi. The implementation of a co-management system requires multi-sectoral agreement and socio-cultural consideration. Unless the Bajau are acknowledged, accepted, and involved as an important partner in marine management and conservation, the success of the co-management system remains in doubt.

The MAB programme is an intergovernmental scientific programme that aims to establish a scientific basis for enhancing the relationship between people and their environments. It combines the natural and social sciences with a view to improving human livelihoods and safeguarding natural and managed ecosystems, thus promoting innovative approaches to economic development that are socially and culturally appropriate and environmentally sustainable. Vietnam national network of UNESCO biosphere reserves comprises 11 sites. The vision of MAB is a world where people are conscious of their common future and their interactions with the planet, and act collectively and responsibly to build thriving societies in harmony within the biosphere. As a culture, it changes on mental thinking and practical applications, including conservation effectiveness, eco-tourism and socio-economic development, and logistically scientific research. Some experiences are shared, and some lessons learned are also discussed. It refers to various aspects as awareness knowledge, conservation innovation, social economic development and scientific research application. This is to find a respond to the question of how changes between before and after designating the UNESCO biosphere reserve.

A major challenge for fisheries management lies in how to strike a balance between the livelihoods of fishermen and sustainable operation of the fishing industry under the impact of climate change. In the long term, important marine habitats need to be designated as marine protected areas and prevent destructive man-made activities through appropriate legislation and law enforcement to promote marine resource conservation and ecological protection. Furthermore, marine protected areas have been recognized as the simplest, cheapest and most effective way in which to restore fishery resources and protect marine biodiversity in the future. However, the competent authorities have been unable to achieve co-management of the environment and partnerships for many years, and continue to rely on extensive integration and collaboration between governments and non-governmental organizations or individuals due to implementation-related factors such as the island society, the multiple social relationships of fishermen or residents in fishing villages, the closely related place attachment, and general xenophobia. The National Penghu University of Science and Technology established marine protected area community patrols in 2018. The patrols not only protect marine resources but also allow community residents and fishermen to build consensus among communities and reduce class discrimination against fishermen, which is in line with the sustainable planning and management strategy in fisheries of the blue economy and with the spirit of sato-umi. Sato-umi is a coastal area where biological productivity and biodiversity has increased through human interaction. In this study, social network analysis was used to systematically analyze the process of stakeholder engagement in the co-management of conservation areas, link cross-domain recreational resources amongst fishing villages, and cultivate regional revitalization in fishing communities through the visualization of participants’ locations, interactions, and relative influence.

From the perspective of media, this paper aims to study how Island traffic constructs a modern marine society. Using the research paradigm of social definition, the paper investigates the spatial production and interpersonal reconstruction of the port shore system centered on the traffic network of Xiamen ferry traffic, seawall traffic, roundabout road and Wutong wharf. It is found that island traffic connects the interaction between ocean and land and creates the meaning of a new island; Island traffic links up the emotional relationship with Taiwan to create the political implication and social connotation of marine culture; Island traffic constructs the local spiritual production of marine culture for the world cultural heritage. The important conclusion of the study is that as an important medium of marine society, the essence of island traffic lies in the reproduction and reconstruction of marine society between physical traffic, cultural tourism space and virtual space through human feelings.

The boundary between land and island is blurring. This may be attributed to the shortened physical distance and changes in the psychological distance. This study aimed to identify why the boundary that sets apart the island from the land is blurring. In the fast-changing socio-cultural context, the island has often been covered by the media as a place for healing. As a result, the number of tourists in islands has increased, and their psychological and physical distances with the land have become closer through bridges connecting the mainland and island. It can be interpreted that the boundary between the land disappeared as islands became more accessible than before. On that basis, this study aimed to examine how islands have been portrayed in the media and the research trends and identify the changes in “islandness” by analyzing the changes in the language in the island, with a focus on the island of Udo. As a result, this study found that the linguistic landscape, with its multilingual signs and the increase in amenities, has led to a rise in the number of tourists.
