ABSTRACT Indigenous land and sea management (ILSM) has been the focus of large government investment in Australia and globally. Beyond environmental benefits, such investments can deliver a suite of social, cultural and economic co-benefits, aligning with the objectives of Indigenous communities and of governments for culturally appropriate socio-economic development. Nevertheless, there have been very few studies done on the spatial distribution of this investment and the extent to which its associated co-benefits address socio-economic disadvantage, which is unevenly distributed across Australia. This study draws on Australian ILSM programmes to examine the spatial and temporal distribution of investment for ILSM between 2002–2012 and considers implications for the distribution of associated co-benefits. Mapping and analysis of 2600 conservation projects revealed that at least $462M of investment in ILSM projects had occurred at 750 discrete sites throughout Australia. More than half of this investment in ILSM has been concentrated in northern Australia, in disadvantaged remote and very remote areas where a high percentage of the population is Indigenous, and Indigenous land ownership extensive. Our research has shown that ILSM investment has successfully been spatially distributed to areas with high needs for multiple social, economic, environmental and health and well-being co-benefit outcomes.

对土著土地和海洋管理的投资是否流向正确的位置，以提供多种共同利益？

摘要土著土地和海洋管理（ILSM）一直是澳大利亚和全球大型政府投资的重点。除了环境收益外，此类投资还可以带来一系列社会，文化和经济共同利益，符合土著社区和政府在文化上适当的社会经济发展目标。然而，关于这项投资的空间分布及其相关的共同收益在多大程度上解决了在澳大利亚分布不均的社会经济劣势的研究很少。这项研究利用澳大利亚的ILSM计划研究了2002-2012年间ILSM的投资时空分布，并考虑了对相关联的利益分配的影响。对2600个保护项目的地图和分析显示，在澳大利亚的750个离散地点，至少有4.62亿美元投资于ILSM项目。对ILSM的这项投资中，有一半以上集中在澳大利亚北部，偏远的偏远地区和偏远地区，这些地区的人口比例很高，土著居民拥有广泛的土地。我们的研究表明，ILSM投资已成功地在空间上分配到了对多种社会，经济，环境和健康以及福祉共赢成果有高需求的地区。在处于贫困的偏远地区和非常偏远的地区，这些地区的土著人口比例很高，并且土著土地所有权广泛。我们的研究表明，ILSM投资已成功地在空间上分配到了对多种社会，经济，环境和健康以及福祉共赢成果有高需求的地区。在处于贫困的偏远地区和非常偏远的地区，这些地区的土著人口比例很高，并且土著土地所有权广泛。我们的研究表明，ILSM投资已成功地在空间上分配到了对多种社会，经济，环境和健康以及福祉共赢成果有高需求的地区。
