ABSTRACT Approaches to decision making for adaptation need to be place-centred and to consider the interacting changes that occur at different spatiotemporal scales. Τhe adaptation pathways approach provides an interesting input to this end. In this article, we fine-tune the adaptation pathways considerations to the management and governance of water in tourist islands vulnerable to water stress. We base our analysis on literature on climate change, adaptive Integrated Water Resources Management and governance, water and tourism, and social-ecological systems. We illustrate our theoretical analysis with the example of the Southern Aegean islands in Greece, based on secondary sources and interviews with stakeholders.

旅游岛屿水资源管理和治理的适应途径方法：以希腊爱琴海南部地区为例

摘要 适应决策的方法需要以地方为中心，并考虑在不同时空尺度上发生的相互作用变化。适应途径方法为此提供了一个有趣的输入。在本文中，我们对易受水资源压力影响的旅游岛屿中水资源管理和治理的适应途径考虑进行了微调。我们的分析基于有关气候变化、适应性综合水资源管理和治理、水和旅游以及社会生态系统的文献。我们根据二手资料和对利益相关者的采访，以希腊爱琴海南部岛屿的例子来说明我们的理论分析。
