Convivial Technology for Sustainable Coastal Development

Abstract

Coastal areas, including those in small islands, are vulnerable to natural disasters and extractive activities that are detrimental to the coastal environment. Growth-obsessed policy is a direct threat to sustainable development of these productive zones. With limited access to energy and a fragile environment, we propose convivial technologies -as proposed by Illich (Schoemacher calls it appropriate technology) and much later on by Pauli- to be adopted in conjunction with development policy which is oriented more towards equity rather than growth. We have to reformulate development not as an expansion of material production, but more as extension of our freedom. In this view, the adoption of convivial technologies to retool the society will largely depend on the learning culture of the coastal community
