Abstract:

Pluit Reservoir has a big role in DKI Jakarta. Efforts to optimize the Pluit Reservoir are facing various problems, such as silting the reservoir, water quality pollution, the existence of illegal settlements of the population, thus decreasing the function of the Pluit Reservoir as flood control and water resources. In an effort to overcome the problem, the government has made normalization of reservoir policy. Information regarding the level of knowledge / perception, attitudes and level of satisfaction of the community and management is important to consider the management of the Pluit Reser

Abstract:

AbstractSuccessful management of downy brome (also known as cheatgrass) requires understanding land managers' perceptions and decisions about whether to invest in its control. We investigated ranchers' and natural resource professionals' (NRPs) perceptions and knowledge about downy brome ecology and its impacts, their current downy brome management practices and satisfaction with those practices, and their information and technical needs using focus groups and a mail survey of ranchers and NRPs in Colorado and Wyoming. Both groups thought downy brome was a problem, and perception of the severi

Abstract:

Onion is the third largest horticultural commodity with the production and land area in Indonesia. The growth of onion demand has an increase up to 1.73% annually. This motivates farmers to develop their onion farms. On the other hand, onion is a risky farm that comes from various factors. Farm risk perceptions need to be developed through risk communication. Without risk communication, farmers' awareness of possible risks is low and farming is increasingly at risk. This research uses descriptive method and sociometry to know perception and risk communication of Rindu Alam Farmer Group. There

The two forest-products companies that manage the remainder have registered their forest management systems to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Standard. With an eye to getting all managed forest land in the province registered to ISO 14001, the NFS engaged us to undertake a study of the challenges and opportunities it would face in doing so. To meet the study objective, interviews were conducted with 30 people, most of whom work for the NFS. Upper-management commitment was iden

Abstract:

The endangered oribi antelope Ourebia ourebi is highly dependent on privately owned lands for its continued survival in South Africa. Despite the fact that conserving oribi may result in costs to farmers in the form of land use restrictions and pressures from illegal hunting, there is evidence that South African farmers are willing to conserve oribi on their lands. However, to date, no research has been conducted to examine farmers’ understanding of how to manage their lands for oribi or their motivations for conserving this species. We conducted 50 in-depth interviews with private landowners

Abstract:

Farms face declining soil fertility. Maintaining this fertility becomes a concern for famers who adopt several strategies to this end. Hence, it is important to know these strategies to better improve and value them. It is in this context that a study was carried out in 15 villages within three municipalities of Tillabery region in Niger. Its objective is to study farmers soil fertility management perceptions and strategies in the municipalities of Gotheye, Tagazar and Torodi. Data collection was carried out through individual surveys of 300 farm managers, with 20 per village, or 100 per munic

Abstract:

Oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea) or OPM was accidentally introduced into London on imported oak trees and now poses a threat to the future of oak in the urban landscape. Early attempts at eradication of the moth failed and significant resources have since been spent by government on monitoring and controlling OPM (through the use of insecticides or bio-pesticides) as it spreads into new areas. OPM is regulated in the UK to minimize risk of new introductions and reduce spread. Surveying for OPM and issuing of statutory notices for control is based on a geographical system of c

Purpose This paper aims to explore how the ownership transfer from a highly industrialised country to less industrialised countries influences consumers’ brand perceptions. Design/methodology/approach Three acquisition cases of premium car brands (Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo) are investigated using qualitative data from online brand communities. Findings When country of ownership (COOW) for brands changes, it leads to different effects on consumers’ brand perception. Consumers are disoriented as to which cue to apply when evaluating the brand. They also see that brand values, and how these ar

Abstract:

Conflicts between local people and protected area managers are a common problem in developing countries, but in many cases there has been little attempt to comprehensively characterize the underlying problems. Resource uses, management practices, economy and people's perceptions of problems and likely solutions were analysed in two villages near and two villages away from the core zone of Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve in the Indian Himalaya. Agriculture, although practised on less than 1% of the area, was the primary occupation of local people. Six annual crops of a total of 22 and all four hor

Abstract:

Land degradation is increasing in severity and extent in many parts of the world. Success in arresting land degradation entails an improved understanding of its causes, process, indicators and impacts. Various scientific methodologies have been employed to assess land degradation globally. However, the use of local community knowledge in elucidating the causes, process, indicators and effects of land degradation has seen little application by scientists and policy makers. Land degradation may be a physical process, but its underlying causes are firmly rooted in the socio-economic, political an

The aim of this study was to examine the values and attitudes held by Australasian wildlife managers as they relate to wildlife management issues, and to gain some insight into possible future directions and priorities for Australasian wildlife management. During December 2002 – February 2003, 138 questionnaires were completed by members of the Australasian Wildlife Management Society (AWMS) and registrants of the 2002 AWMS annual conference.

Abstract:

Extensively managed grassland (predominantly hill and upland) represents three quarters of the total land area converted to organic production in the UK. This has occurred because of the availability of conversion aid payments, the downturn in conventional lamb prices towards the end of the 1990’s, and a perception that hill and upland farming is already part way towards organic. Organic farming is further encouraged through the Hill Farming Allowance (HFA) scheme, which provides a 10% enhancement for organic production.

Abstract:

Forestland privatization and transition to a market economy triggered important changes in the Romanian forest sector, imposing challenges for forest management structures. Voluntary forest management certification has been considered a possible solution; therefore, the certified forest area has increased rapidly regardless of the land owner. The purpose of this study is to provide an insight into the certification process. It presents the result of a survey applied to 417 forest management structures in Romania, which was intended to identify the perception of their managers regarding the rea
