The urgency of the climate crisis requires an immediate revisioning of our society in order to mitigate the worst environmental consequences. This paper explores one possible climate mitigation strategy, bioregionalism, a theoretical vision of re-localizing economies and defining their reach by natural boundaries (Curtis 2003; Cato 2011).

Graph Theory, Job-Labour System And Manpower Planning, Kwai Wing Leung
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
People working in a community can be grouped into clusters of varying education/training background. Flowing of workers between groups is evident, with movement starting from birth and ending to death. Graph theory is applied to denote the system. Analogy to an electric circuit is referred for quick over-viewing and solution. Figures for manpower planning are predicted.
