Children who are taught by both male and female teachers develop holistically. This means that male teachers are vital in the education of young children. The study was to explore parents’ perceptions of the role of male teachers’ in preschools in Vihiga Sub-county as well as examine the influence of age on parents’ perception of the role the teachers in pre-schools in the sub-county. The study was guided by Albert Bandura’s Social Learning theory. Descriptive research design was used to guide the study. The dependent variable was parents’ perception of role of male teachers’ in pre-schools, while the independent variable was parents’ age. The locale of the study was Vihiga Sub County in Kenya. Questionnaire and interview schedules were used to collect data and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods. Results from data analysis indicated that parents’ perception of the role of male teachers’ in pre-schools was negative. It was also clear from the results that the perception was influenced by parents’ age. It was recommended that school management should organize programs to help parents to understand the role played by male teachers in preschools in order to change their attitude towards the teachers.

En 2008, le Conseil de presse du Québec a créé un précédent en effectuant une tournée des régions administratives québécoises, afin d’observer la perception du public et des acteurs socio-économiques de l’information. Pendant cinq mois, plus de deux cents organismes et plus de deux cent cinquante citoyens ont été consultés. Cette note de recherche revient sur ces rencontres et s’interroge sur les attentes des Premières Nations envers les médias et sur le portrait que ceux-ci font des diverses communautés. L’auteure y analyse individuellement, pour la première fois, les propos des intervenants autochtones rencontrés : les Innus (Montagnais), les Cris et les Inuits. Ces intervenants se sont exprimés sur l’accès et la qualité de l’information, déplorant certaines difficultés à accéder aux médias nationaux et sur les défis des médias régionaux devant couvrir de vastes territoires. La représentation déficiente des régions dans les médias nationaux et la folklorisation des autochtones dans ces médias sont aussi abordées.

Full textAbstract:
Birthing is a critical moment in the life of a mother. The biomedical practice of the Caesarian Section (C-section) does not exist in a vacuum but is under the influence of the sociocultural environment. However, deciding between methods of birth and the perception about the C-section shows a gap and dearth in the present literature. This paper aims at understanding what social and cultural factors construct the perceptions and experiences of the Caesarian Section among post-C-section- women belonging to different socio-economic statuses. Moreover, it explores how these factors influence Pakistani women’s decision-making regarding childbirth methods. The paper uses a qualitative yet multi-sited locale approach, employing semi-structured interviews from 20 post-C-section women mainly from Islamabad and Rawalpindi region; 10 women belong to lower socio-economic status whereas, 10 to the upper one. Different themes from data were identified and obtained for analysis.
The perception and experience of the C-section fluctuate with social, economic, and cultural factors. The influence of biomedical and intra-household politics on the decision of C-section is much conspicuous and evident. Affluent families practice C-sections under dominant power dynamics without any reasoning. For those who can afford C-section, is perceived as a luxury and artificial motherhood in the eyes of ‘’the others’’ whereas, normal birthing was true and natural motherhood. The social construction of the C-section suggests that social and cultural forces play a decisive role. C-section is only acceptable if there is an emergency otherwise natural birth is the most suitable method of childbirth. Along with advocating C-sections in critical medical conditions, an awareness campaign against C-sections is also imperative for it has severe consequences.

Vermicompost is very useful manure which is becoming popular day by day. However, its perception by the farmers is not yet assessed in the southwestern region of Bangladesh. The main objectives of this study were to determine the farmers’ perception of beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost and to explore the relationship between selected characteristics of the farmers’ and their perception of beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost. Data were collected using an interview schedule from randomly selected 60 respondents. Locale was three villages namely Lokhpur, Bollokhpur and Vobna under Fakirhat upazila of Bagerhat district. Faceto- face interview was conducted during 7 to 29 May, 2016. Farmers’ perception regarding the beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost was measured using 5- point Likert type scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and farmers’ perception index was calculated. Majority (66.7 percent) of the respondents had moderate perception while 18.3 percent and 15 percent of them had less and high perception, respectively, on the beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost. Among seven selected characteristics of the respondents, age showed a significant negative relationship with their perception of beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost while training experience of the respondents showed a significant positive relationship with their overall perception. Thus, arrangement of training could pave the way of high perception of beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost.Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.5(1): 19-25, April 2018

Quelles sont les limites géographiques d’une scène locale ? Comment ces acteurs agissent comme « agents performatifs » dans la perception de l’espace territorial recomposé par la musique ? Il s’agit donc de démontrer l’intérêt de sortir d’une vision en vase clos des scènes locales, pour s’intéresser de plus près aux déplacements de ceux qui les pratiquent (musiciens, publics), à la façon dont Guy Di Méo (1996) propose une géographie socio-culturelle des « territoires du quotidien » . La démonstration repose sur l’observation des déplacements des amateurs de musique metal issus de trois régions françaises, à savoir la Lorraine, le Nord-pas-de-Calais et les environs de Rennes et Nantes. L’étude s’appuie sur un matériel empirique composé de données quantitatives et qualitatives.

AbstractThis article examines the perception of the (ing) variants, [ɪŋ] and [ɪn], in three regionally distinct localities in Britain: London in the South of England; Manchester in the North; and Edinburgh in Scotland. Data was gathered in perceptual tests in which respondents from each location rated stimuli doublets, each containing only one of the variants of (ing), on multiple social attribute scales. In London and Manchester, the perception of [ɪŋ] and [ɪn] broadly matches findings made for the United States in that speakers using [ɪŋ] are considered more articulate and hardworking, and less casual than speakers using [ɪn]. In Edinburgh, results are markedly different. We argue that these differences are due to a combination of factors that include the historical development of (ing) in a particular locale, which led to differences in production, variations in language ideology and, as a result, class-specific evaluations that appear to be regionally dependent.

The aim of the present article is to analyze the relationship between the city and the protagonists of Giuseppe Culicchia’s texts. The methodological perspective is that of cultural anthropology, in particular the concept of mente locale, discussed by Franco La Cecla. Mente locale, as a relationship between space and human mind, is vital in the act of getting lost in space (perdersi), which leads to getting to know it (orientarsi) and finally initiating the profound relationship based on emotivity. Culicchia’s texts are set in Turin, and the study points out the different ways of perception of the city. The analyzed texts represents the gradual acquisition of knowledge about the city that corresponds to the theoretical thesis that is how the anthropology of space and place illustrates the conceptual and material dimensions of space which is central to the production of social life, bringing classics of cultural anthropology together with new theoretical approaches.

AbstractFrom the beginning of the sixteenth century the Spanish in the Philippines documented their triumph over the native population, but failed to appreciate the way in which the latter understood the conduct of war. This essay focuses on the conflict between local and Spanish forces in 1570 which historians usually interpret as a Spanish victory. A closer reading of the sources, however, reveals the complexities of the local situation. By discussing indigenous forms of warfare the essay places the Spanish 'triumph' in the context of the indigenous rules underlying pangangayao, the native game of warfare. Les documents rédigés dès le début du XVIe siècle par les Espagnols font état de leur « triomphe » sur les populations locales. Ils ne font en revanche aucune mention, faute peut être d'en avoir une compréhension suffisante, de la manière dont la guerre était alors conçue par les autochtones. Cet article traite tout particulièrement du con it de 1570 entre les indigènes et les Espagnols que les historiens lisent généralement comme une victoire ibérique. Mais une lecture minutieuse des sources nous révèle la complexité de la situation. On s'efforce donc ici de s'intéresser à la perception locale du conflit et de replacer le « triomphe espagnol » dans la perspective du pangangayao, l'art autochtone de la guerre.

AbstractCow–calf enterprises in the USA are widely divergent in size, locale, resource availability, management skill, and market focus. Furthermore, variation exists in dependence on the cow–calf enterprise as a primary source of income, perception about the utility of a particular management practice or technology, and assessment of cost: benefit resulting from implementation impact decisions. Enterprises with larger cow inventories, greater dependence on income from the cattle enterprise, and that retain ownership further into the supply chain beyond the cow–calf operation are more likely to institute management protocols such as vaccination programs, defined calving seasons, and reproductive technologies. Successful cow–calf managers place the highest priority on herd nutrition, pasture and range management, herd health, financial management marketing, production management, and genetics. Management practices are more likely to be adopted when they align with a manager's perception of the utility, labor availability, favorable cost: benefit outcomes and profit motivation.

Abstract Mitchell (2016) proposes shared stories and religious background are unimportant to hiker spiritual experience on John Muir National Trail, USA. This study analyzes surveys from 265 volunteer day-hikes in three settings: urban, suburban natural area, and wildland; representing three modes of hiking: goal-directed, nature observation, and meditative. Overall, setting produced more statistically significant differences (22 of 25) among locale descriptors than the mode did (3 of 25). Sacred was more closely associated with descriptors of lack of human presence, than those related to biodiversity. Association of the sacred with higher elevations and mountain wildlands rather than with wetlands implies a pre-existing shared story. Nature oriented and meditative hiking accentuated perception of values, such as educational, humbling, sacred and wondrous, providing evidence that religious practice influences hiker perception. Suburban natural areas, which are more accessible to urban residents than wildlands, received ratings competing with wildlands in terms of personal benefits.

La participation locale aux réponses humanitaires ainsi que le rôle des populations affectées font désormais l’objet de nombreuses discussions. Les différentes logiques qui sous-tendent la participation dans les situations de post-urgence peuvent être analysées en fonction de l’application qui en est faite par certaines organisations d’aide, mais aussi de la perception qu’en ont les populations. En outre, le recours au comité de camp comme stratégie de participation a soulevé une série d’enjeux de légitimité et de représentation auxquels les différents acteurs ont tenté de répondre. Dans ce contexte, le modèle de participation érigé en norme par la communauté d’experts humanitaires constitue-t-il une nouvelle forme de conditionnalité de l’aide ? À la lumière d’enquêtes menées en 2012 et 2013 dans les camps de déplacés en Haïti, nous proposons dans cet article d’analyser les logiques participatives en tenant compte des conflits, des contraintes et des résistances qui en résultent au sein des communautés. Pour conduire cette analyse de discours, nous étudions d’une part les normes guidant les pratiques des organisations humanitaires et d’autre part les récits d’entretien avec les bénéficiaires et autres acteurs du camp.

S'appuyant sur une lecture ethnographique de figures mythiques, le présent article tente de mettre en lumière certaines rémanences dans la perception de l'Autre et ses associations avec l'Ailleurs porteur de menaces pour démontrer une hiérarchisation des usages et, par extension, des vies humaines en matière de prévention des risques naturels. Ainsi, l'homme de passage, campeur ou nomade, se trouve souvent relégué en marge de l'espace socialisé, dans des lieux « défortunés » soumis à des risques élevés de crues torrentielles. Cet article pose le problème fondamental de la confrontation des échelles de la nation et du terroir dans la gestion locale du territoire et, au-delà, de l'égalité des citoyens devant le risque.

Les études sur la transhumance ont souvent ciblé les pasteurs – notamment peuls – des zones sahéliennes. Pour en donner une autre perspective, la présente étude a été centrée sur les pratiques de la transhumance dans la zone soudano-sahélienne du Mali en intégrant la perception des agriculteurs et des pasteurs sédentaires concernés par la transhumance dans les zones d’accueil. Les scénarios envisageables pour le futur des systèmes pastoraux ont aussi été analysés. Les données ont été collectées à travers des groupes de discussion et des enquêtes individuelles. Les résultats ont montré que la transhumance n’était plus le seul fait des populations pastorales peules mais concernait diverses ethnies. Plus de 70 % des agriculteurs, des pasteurs sédentaires et des pasteurs transhumants interviewés dans les deux sites de l’étude ont rapporté que les avantages de la transhumance pour les communautés d’accueil en termes de dépôt de fumier dans les champs des cultures décroissaient. Quand bien même la majorité des répondants ont rapporté une augmentation des pratiques de la transhumance au cours des trente dernières années, ils prévoyaient leur diminution dans les années à venir. L’augmentation de la compétition autour des ressources pastorales entre les membres des communautés d’accueil et les pasteurs transhumants dans le sud du Mali crée une situation d’impasse et des frustrations se manifestant par une méfiance mutuelle.

Baseline knowledge of distribution and abundance of a species whose population is facing decline throughout its distribution range is vital for its conservation planning. Indian Pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) is such a species which is Imperiled and lacking key biological studies in northern locale of Pakistan. We investigated distribution, abundance and threats faced by Indian pangolin in Pir Lasura National Park, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. Indian pangolin has patchy distribution in and around the Park ranging from 590m-1540m elevation. A very low population (0.77±0.34 individuals/km2) of Indian pangolin were recorded from the Park. Local perception towards Indian pangolin was to a great extent negative. Slaughtering record of 446 pangolins were gathered. We recovered 12 dead pangolins, 10 jackets of scales. Furthermore, selling of 26 kg scales, 111 live pangolin captures and 313 killings were reported during 2013-2015. Local hunters were mainly involved in capturing and killing of Indian pangolin 90%, local farmers 8% (n=22) and labor 1%. We propose more studies ought to be led to improve comprehension of species and mindfulness instruction programs both by government and private sectors, to taught local communities living in and around Pir Lasura National Park for getting support for the species and to change their demeanors.

Historians frequently dismiss any use of the term nationalism in the pre-modern period as conceptually illegitimate. In the early Reformation in Germany, the welter of confusing and competing terms to describe Luther’s audience—“nation,” “tongue,” “fatherland,” patria—appears to confirm that scepticism. At a regional level, however, where the descriptor Land lacks a precise English equivalent, a consciousness of local identity with undeniable “nationalist” connotations can be discerned, especially in the South-West borderlands with francophone areas. Yet this self-perception sits uneasily with comparable manifestations in Switzerland, where identity was not shaped agonistically over against “foreigners,” but was instead deployed by Zwingli and Bullinger to affirm a heroic past epitomized by valiant defence of true religion.
Dans leurs études sur les périodes prémodernes, les historiens mettent le plus souvent de côté le terme « nationalisme », jugé anachronique. Dans les débuts de la Réforme en Allemagne, une panoplie d’expressions déroutantes et concurrentes décrivait le public de Luther — « nation », « langue », « patrie », « pays » —, ce qui semble confirmer cette réticence. Toutefois, au niveau régional, alors que l’Anglais ne possède pas d’équivalent précis pour le terme « Land », on discerne une veritable conscience identitaire locale, aux connotations nationalistes indéniables, en particulier pour ce qui est des régions frontalières francophones du sud-ouest. Cependant, cette auto perception se compare difficilement avec des phénomènes similaires observables en Suisse, où ce type d’identité ne s’est pas construit de façon agonistique en opposition à l’étranger, mais plutôt, sous l’égide de Zwingli et de Bullinger, afin d’établir un passé héroïque marqué par la défense de la vraie religion.

L'agriculture d'abattis-brûlis, la production de bois énergie et l'absence de gestion des écosystèmes forestiers sont à l'origine de la dégradation et de la savanisation progressive de ces espaces. Ces phénomènes ont accentué les processus d'érosion dans les terroirs du village de Kinduala. Ils ont également conduit les populations à modifier leurs pratiques culturales en raison de la disparition progressive des espaces forestiers au profit des cultures sur savane. L'objectif de cette étude était de caractériser la perception locale des sols (typologie, évolution) par les agriculteurs d'un village de la population Batandu. Le temps de l'étude, il a été réalisé deux réunions villageoises, 36 prélèvements de sols de surface, 25 analyses physico-chimiques et étudié un profil de sol. En observant la couche superficielle du sol, les Batandu distinguent quatre types d'horizons (kanga, kibuma, nzielo, kiniengi) en fonction de leur couleur, texture et leur facilité à être travaillé lors des cultures. Ils associent préférentiellement leurs cultures avec le kibuma et le kiniengi. Les Batundu sont conscients de l'évolution de la couche superficielle de leurs sols sous l'influence des activités culturales et des pluies. Cependant, ils ne perçoivent pas clairement l'évolution de leurs sols sur une plus grande profondeur et son lien avec les processus d'érosion des sols en cours. Cette étude nous a permis d'identifier les connaissances des populations, leurs limites, et de proposer un schéma de processus d'érosion des sols. Pour freiner ce processus d'érosion des sols, des améliorations culturales devront être intégrées dans les Plans simples de gestion élaborés par les populations en complément des activités de reboisement et de plantations agroforestières à Acacia auriculiformis.

Grâce a une etude d'une vague intense mais fortement localisee de reportages de crimes violents, cet article démontre que dès les annèes 1760, les journaux provinciaux et leurs querelles en matière de distribution ont pu jouer un rôle primordial dans la création d'une panique morale, qui a changé la perception de la prévalence de la criminalité, modifié 1 'attitude des victimes en matiére de poursuite judiciairé, engendré un deploiement de nouvelles initiatives politiques et a résulté en un durcissement de la politique pénale locale. Des parallèles avec des vagues de criminalité plus récentes sont ensuite étudiés et les implications plus générates sur la facon dont les ‘nouvelles judiciaires et policiéres’ étaient reportées au dix-huitième siècle sont discutées.

English Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyze the perceptions of those who live in a context of marginalization and urban poverty as to their awareness of any risks to health and well-being associated with climate change. The methodological framework for this study was qualitative and ethnographic. The main sources of information were semi-structured interviews with residents of El Colli, located in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico who are parents. We conclude that there are climate change-induced environmental regional particularities that result in unequal conditions of vulnerability and a greater occurrence of risk events for populations in marginalized and poor areas. Thus, we argue that the theoretical and methodological references that consider local knowledge are key to enabling adaptation measures aimed at social welfare.Spanish Abstract: El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la percepción sobre riesgos a la salud y el bienestar asociados al cambio climático, a partir de las experiencias cotidianas de vivir en un contexto de marginación y pobreza urbana. La perspectiva metodológica fue de carácter cualitativo y de cohorte etnográfi co, cuya principal fuente de información fueron entrevistas semiestructuradas a los padres y madres de familia, habitantes de El Colli, ubicado en Zapopan, Jalisco, México. Concluimos que las particularidades regionales a escala local enfrentan impactos específicos asociados al cambio climático según las condiciones desiguales de vulnerabilidad entre la población y la ocurrencia de eventos riesgosos. Así, sostenemos que los referentes teórico-metodológicos que consideren el conocimiento local son clave para propiciar medidas de adaptación encaminadas al bienestar social.French Abstract: L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser la perception des risques pour la santé et le bien-être liés au changement climatique à partir des expériences quotidiennes de vie dans un contexte de marginalisation et de pauvreté urbaine. La méthodologie adoptée s’appuie sur une cohorte qualitative et ethnographique, dont la principale source sont des entretiens semi-structurés avec des parents résidant à El Colli, situé à Zapopan, au Jalisco, Mexique. Nous concluons que le changement climatique a des répercussions spécifiques en fonction des particularités régionales à l’échelle locale, notamment des conditions inégales de vulnérabilité de la population et de la survenue d’événements à risque. Ainsi, nous soutenons que les références théoriques et méthodologiques qui prennent en compte les connaissances locales sont essentielles pour promouvoir des mesures d’adaptation visant le bien-être social.

This study was conducted to understand the fertility behavior between the two population groups speaking different languages: Bengali-speaking Hindus and Hindi-speaking Hindus. The study further attempts to study the perception and practice regarding contraception use and their decision-making ability. The present study was conducted in Kolkata, West Bengal. A total of 64 women (Bengali-speaking Hindus: 34 and Hindi-speaking Hindus: 30) ranging between 15 years and 44 years were chosen by convenience sampling method. Semi-structured interview schedule was employed to record the response of the participants. Sociodemographic profile of the participants and of their husbands and fertility history were collected using structured interview. Open-ended questions were asked to the participants to understand their perception about family planning. Case studies were also taken from each participant to know about their decision-making process of family planning. Descriptive statistic was carried out to analyze quantitative data, and for qualitative data, thematic analysis was carried out manually. Mean age of the participants was 33.1 years and that of their husbands was 40.2 years. Age at marriage was low in both the groups. Source of knowledge on contraceptives was mostly husband in both the populations. The husband (100%) played a dominant role in decision-making in both the groups. The role of in-laws played a dominant role in decision-making among the Hindi-speaking population. Withdrawal method was a common method of contraceptives in both the groups.

Abstract. La présente étude met en relation l'état écologique des cultures en terrasses de la moyenne Vallée de la Roya avec les valeurs socioculturelles qui y sont liées. Quatorze types de végétation ont été identifiés et ordonnés dans un modèle de succession. Les terrasses encore entretenues sont des oliveraies ou des prairies sèches. A l'arrêt de la fauche, une prairie è Brachypodium pinnatum s'installe, suivie par un stade arbustif qui évolue ensuite en forêt. Les proportions de surface des differénts types de végétation montrent que les zones plus peuplées et mieux accessibles possèdent la plus grande surface de terrasses entretenues. Un sondage parmi 21 habitants a permis de cerner leur prise de position face à l'abandon des terres. ainsi que leur vision d'avenir pour la vallée. Le spectre des opinions va de celle des néo-ruraux. qui consideèrent le renouveau de l'agriculture traditionnelle comme un moteur de développement, à celle de villageois autochtones qui voient dans le développement de l'industrie et du tourisme les seules perspectives réalistes d'avenir. A partir de ces résultats, quatre scénarios sur l'avenir de la vallée et ses conséquences sur l'entretien des terrasses ont été élaborés et discutés.

Cette étude analyse les stratégies locales de dénomination des espèces végétales par les Mossé des régions du nord, du centre nord, du centre et du Plateau Central du Burkina Faso et leurs perceptions des plantes. A travers des interviews semi directes auprès de 1437 personnes âgées d’au moins 60 ans et des jeunes de moins de 40 ans personnes âgées d’au moins 40 ans des différentes localités, l’étude a pu montrer les critères de dénomination, les conceptions que les populations ont des espèces végétales ainsi que l‘impact de ces connaissances dans la conservation de la phytodiversité. 72 espèces au total ont été décrites. Elles sont réparties en 51 genres et 29 familles. Les familles dominantes sont les Commelinaceae et les Fabaceae-Mimosoideae. Dans la taxonomie locale faite sur les plantes en milieu rural Mossé, 16 critères sont utilisés. Les critères les plus cités par la population sont l’usage fait de la plante (94 %), le mysticisme lié à l’espèce (86 %), l’écologie ou le milieu de vie de l’espèce (83 %), la dualité mâle/femelle (83 %), la couleur des organes ou parties de la plante (81 %), l’origine de la plante (80 %), la morphologie foliaire (76 %), la présence d’organes saillants sur la plante (75 %) et le mode de dissémination des fruits ou des graines (74 %). Les noms botaniques attribués aux plantes varient d’une région à une autre. Les populations ont des perceptions vis-à-vis de nombreuses espèces. Ainsi, les espèces comme Stereospermum kunthianum, Calotropis procera, Ozoroa insignis, Faidherbia albida, Maytenus senegalensis et Biophytum umbraculum sont frappées de mysticisme. Elles sont toutes craintes par les populations et sont dans certaines localités à l’abri d’exploitations multiformes humaines. Cela contribue à une meilleure conservation de la biodiversité.

Mangroves are important coastal resources that provide both tangible and intangible benefits to the locals as well as others. Rapid coastal development pressures the mangroves to decline continuously. The objective of the study was to comprehend the perception of the locals on mangrove change issue and also to analyze the differences of perceptions among selected socioeconomic factors. Research conducted with a questionnaire survey with 5 point likert type answering options among 196 local respondents from three mukims namely Jelutong, Tanjung Kupang and Serkat. Mean perception score was 3.67 which indicated respondents agreement with the mangrove change issue. The Anova shows the perception score significantly differed among different age groups however there was no difference of perceptions among the rest variables such as race, marital status or education level. The findings of the study concluded that regardless of socioeconomic factors (except age) the respondents were concurred with the situation of mangrove loss in the studied mukims.

Full textAbstract:
Looking back over the past nearly 70 years since the People’s Republic of China was established, it seems that the meaning of ‘place’ has varied and changed, especially since the turn of the millennium. ‘Place’ usually refers to a specific geographical area, but it can also reference an imagined space – that is, a sense of place is assembled through experience, feeling, perception and identification. To date, Chinese scholars have paid more attention to the close relationship between traditional music and its locale, or the place in which its original owners resided, but there has been little research that moves beyond a geographical conceptualization. However, the dimensions of place in China are more complex when we consider ethnic minorities rather than the majority Han Chinese: minority musicians represent themselves through their music, while the central government emphasizes the integration of diverse cultures within the Chinese nation. Representations of place, and how these relate to music, therefore differ. This chapter examines, using Feld’s and Basso’s (1996) term, what the ‘sense of place’ is for minority musicians, and how within contemporary China musicians and the state have developed different ‘senses of place’.

Les Ebriés1 ont adopté les églises Harriste, Méthodiste et Catholique, devenues des patrimoines culturels religieux. En dépit du contrôle social mis en œuvre pour y maintenir les fidèles, nombreux sont les Ebrié, qui ont opté pour les églises Évangéliques, ce qui a occasionné des conflits à Anono, M’Badon et Blockhaus. Cette étude analyse les conflits liés aux pratiques religieuses et leurs conséquences dans lesdits villages. La méthodologie de recherche, essentiellement qualitative, s’appuie sur 30 personnes interrogées au moyen d’un guide d’entretien semi-directif et d’une grille d’observation. L’étude présente les résultats de terrain. Elle indique d’abord que les pratiques religieuses à Anono, M’Badon et Blockhaus sont le sceau d’une affiliation à des religions révélées et une fidélité à une tradition locale. L’article montre ensuite les conflits de leadership pour l’appropriation et la structuration sociale des espaces villageois, les conflits de perception des pratiques culturelles et christianisées. Enfin, l’étude explique les conséquences, dont la reconstruction identitaire (recomposition de la gouvernance politique, sociale et culturelle, rupture de la sociabilité familiale et communautaire) liées aux conflits dans ces espaces sociaux.
The Ebriés adopted the Harrist, Methodist and Catholic churches, which became religious cultural heritages. Despite the social control implemented to keep the faithful there, many are the Ebrié, who opted for the Evangelical churches, which caused conflicts in Anono, M’badon and Blockhaus. This study analyzes the conflicts linked to religious practices and their consequences in the said villages. The research methodology, which is essentially qualitative, is based on 30 people interviewed using a semistructured interview guide and an observation grid. The study presents the results from the field. First, it indicates that the religious practices at Anono, M’badon and Blockhaus are the seal of an affiliation with revealed religions and a fidelity to a local tradition. The article then shows the leadership conflicts for the appropriation and social structuring of village spaces, the conflicts of perception of cultural and Christianized practices. Finally, the study explains the consequences, including identity reconstruction (recomposition of political, social and cultural governance, breakdown of family and community sociability) linked to conflicts in these social spaces.

Jordan is the first Middle Eastern and Arab country to host a FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to explore residents’ perceptions on impacts of this event and it further explores if there is a potential difference between males and females in their perceptions on the impacts of this event. The results of this study showed that ‘tourism resource development and urban revitalization’ was the main residents’ perception on the positive impacts of the event, whereas ‘negative economic perspective’ such as increased price of real estate was the main locals’ perception on the negative impacts. Furthermore, results indicated that variations in respondents’ perceptions commonly could be explained by their gender differences as male respondents indicated that they more highly perceived both positive and negative impacts of this event than local female respondents did.

This study analyzes the differences between the academic writing of undergraduate students belonging to two Pakistani universities, one located in an urban setting and the other in a rural locale, in an attempt not only to identify why these differences may arise but also how such learners may be encouraged to more readily adopt academic writing techniques in their theses. Data comprises the abstract and discussion sections of undergraduate students’ dissertations. The study uses Swales’ CARS model to analyze the academic writing proficiency demonstrated in the selected data. The study finds that the occurrences of a particular move were more frequent in the dissertations of the rural area students. In contrast, the instantiation of hedges was significant in the dissertations of learners from the urban area university. These observed differences confirm the perception that in terms of academic writing “quality”, the universities in rural settings in Pakistan are not sufficiently competitive with peer institutions in urban settings. The study further reveals that dissertations from rural setting universities reflect poor use of rhetorical moves associated with good academic writing, while in line with Swales’ CARS model, students from the urban university show significant linear patterns and accuracy in their academic writing.

RésuméEn 1619-1620, l’une des plus importantes villes assujetties à la Couronne de Sicile pour la production et la commercialisation du blé (Corleone) devint le théâtre d’une campagne judiciaire contre l’usure. L’action du tribunal archiépiscopal de Monreale – qui instruisit les procès – porta au grand jour certaines pratiques de l’Ancien Régime relatives au crédit et, du même pas, finit par entamer une discussion sur les critères de définition du juste prix, qui impliquait l’équivalence dans l’échange. L’article traite du juste prix – un des éléments fondamentaux de l’architecture théologique et juridique de l’Ancien Régime – à travers une comparaison entre les avis de différents canonistes et juristes et une « perception locale » réélaborée grâce aux sources judiciaires. La justice commutative, inhérente à la sphère contractuelle, requérait une équivalence entre le prix et la valeur de l’objet mais, souvent, l’attribution d’une telle équivalence était confuse. L’ambiguïté qui émerge des sources judiciaires prouve à quel point peut être incertain le procédé de définition de la « juste mesure » et de la « marge » que l’on perdait ou que l’on récupérait selon les délais de paiement ou de remise de la marchandise. Le prix politique finit, autant que le prix du marché, par devenir une valeur indicative de référence dans un scénario riche et complexe.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the legal institution of kafāla/kefalet (bondsmanship; surety) and its role in shaping local communal government in Syria in the Ottoman period. Drawing on the shar‘īya court registers of Tripoli (in addition to those of Sayda and Antioch as well as the Başbakanlık archives), it shows how iltizām tax-farming contracts in the 18th century increasingly required a pecuniary guarantee for their discharge to be posted by a third party, an act specific to Ḥanafī jurisprudence but not practised uniformly throughout the region. Whereas in some places the kafāla amounted to little more than a pledge of mutual accountability, or was imposed on a community against its will, it could also be used by foreign merchants or local notables to secure the rights to a given district’s commercial produce in advance. By “investing” in revenue collection concessions, the article concludes, both the southern Lebanese Shihābī emirs and the Maronite village population used the kafāla to acquire a direct financial and ultimately political stake in the rural hinterland of Tripoli, before dispensing once more with the idea of mutual or corporative responsibility once all of the province’s tax farms passed under complete Shihābī control in 1763. Cet article traite de l'institution juridique de kafāla / kefalet (cautionnement) et de son rôle dans la gouvernance communautaire locale en Syrie à l’époque ottomane. S'appuyant sur les registres de tribunal shar‘īya de Tripoli (en plus de ceux de Sayda et d'Antioche, ainsi que sur des documents d’archives Başbakanlık), il tâche à montrer comment les contrats de ferme fiscale iltizām du XVIIIe siècle exigèrent de plus en plus qu’une tierce personne se porte garant pour leur acquittement, un acte spécifique à l’école de jurisprudence ḥanafī mais pas appliqué de façon uniforme à travers la région. Alors que la kafāla ne constitua guère plus qu’une promesse de responsabilité collective dans certains cas, ou qu’elle fut imposée à une communauté particulière contre son gré dans d’autres, elle pouvait également servir à des marchands étrangers ou à des notables locaux pour s’assurer les droits sur la production agricole d’un certain district à l’avance. En « investissant » dans de contrats de perception d’impôt d’autrui, cet article propose en conclusion, les émirs Shihābī du Liban-Sud tout comme la population villageoise maronite ont pu utiliser la kafāla pour acquérir une participation financière directe ainsi qu’un droit de regard politique sur l’hinterland rural de Tripoli, avant d’abandonner de nouveau le principe de responsabilité mutuelle ou corporative une fois que toutes les fermes fiscales de la province furent passé sous le contrôle complet des Shihābī en 1763.

Purpose The literature so far has shown that perceptions of managerial interventions matter for motivation and performance. However, how these perceptions are formed and develop over time is less clear. The purpose of this paper is to fill part of this gap. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses a panel case study to investigate how perceptions of a managerial intervention are formed and developed over time among daycare workers in a Danish municipality. Findings The paper reveals the dynamic nature of preferences and the centrality of the local manager in perception formation, illustrating that it is not necessarily the implementation style (soft/hard) that is important as much as the managerial involvement in the initiative. Practical implications Whereas managers are still well advised to consider the pros and cons of a hard vs a soft implementation approach, this paper also underlines the importance of constant managerial involvement not only to ensure implementation but also to continuously impact the way managerial interventions are perceived. Originality/value The paper adds to the existing knowledge about perception formation by using a panel case study, hence illustrating the dynamic character of perception formation.

Cette contribution aborde le concept de « désir d’enfant » en interrogeant la notion d’espace social de la procréation en contexte de violence structurelle et à partir des questions suivantes : qui met un enfant au monde ou n’en met pas ? Qui décide et pourquoi ? Ainsi, la mise au monde des enfants est analysée non pas seulement comme un pur produit du désir individuel mais aussi comme une « production ». Les données sont issues d’une recherche ethnographique menée au Cambodge de 2008 à 2012 au sujet de la construction et de la production sociale des normes, des biotechnologies et de leurs usages en matière de santé de la reproduction. Le propos s’appuie sur deux corpus ethnographiques relevés dans les quartiers pauvres de Phnom Penh et décrit des pratiques de stérilisation masculine, de vente de services sexuels pendant la grossesse, et de marchandisation des nouveau-nés. Après avoir situé historiquement la construction des politiques de régulation des naissances à l’échelle internationale et locale, l’article déploie deux dimensions analytiques. L’une, étique, se rapporte aux rôles des institutions internationales et étatiques dans la gestion des corps des individus. L’autre, émique, renvoie à la perception, au vécu et à l’expérience des individus sur ce qu’ils subissent. Ainsi l’article analyse les logiques qui sous-tendent l’émergence de formes sociales de la reproduction humaine, contrainte et sécurisée, ou soumise à une haute productivité.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the application language and speech for the purpose of deception as a means of achieving concealment of information as portrayed in two plays of a Nigerian playwright Emeka Nwabueze. Thus, this study attempts to discuss some typologies of deception and concealment of information as a means of understanding better, the reasons and circumstances that inform the description of concealment of information as good, bad, devious, ugly, legal or illegal. This attempt will help us to interpret why and when concealment of information as well as deception are essential in achieving survival, progress, redress, defence, discovery, illumination, satisfaction or vendetta directly or indirectly. Though concealment of information can occur through inaction and nonverbal mediums, we are focusing on deception through language and speech, and how worldview aids in locale specific definition and perception of forms of deception and concealment of information. The discussion in this study revolves around interpretive analysis approaches as means of accessing applicability of some theories of concealment and deception in describing behaviours in these categories as universal common with shades of interpretive community perspectives. Lastly, the didactic relevance of Nwabueze’s projection of presumed propelling forces and the consequences of concealment of information in the plays understudy, subsumes the understanding of deception as a universal common with trajectories of interpretive community suppositions.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, the sharing economy has made a disruptive incursion into the tourism industry. Companies like Airbnb or Wimdu have successfully developed platforms that grant access to accommodation in private homes. However, it seems that conflicts with locals have arisen in different destinations. This study provides an explanatory model to show how the perception of the impacts of the activity influences residents’ attitudes and support. The model was examined using a sample of 1,088 residents in Tenerife (Spain). Results confirm that resident support is directly and positively affected by their perception of the social and cultural impacts, and especially by the economic impacts. It has not been possible to prove the influence of their perception of environmental impacts. Evidence has been gained that perceptions strongly depend on whether locals benefit personally from the activity, and to a lesser extent on their attitude toward the sharing economy and on the state of the local economy.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Using a case study from Delhi, India, this study aims to investigate why perceived safety endures despite crimes in the neighborhood. Local residents in Delhi feel considerably less fearful of crime in their neighborhoods, and a majority reported feeling safe in their neighborhoods, especially during the daytime. Design/methodology/approach This paper hypothesized that similar to the crime itself, perceptions of safety or the fear of crime, also tend to be concentrated in hotspots. Following a hotspot analysis based on the respondents’ perceptions of safety, the data gathered were applied to the perceived neighborhood structure. Using two perception-of-safety models, this paper could analyze the ripple effect of individual perception on the neighborhood by adding the calculated values of the perceived safety hotspot through hotspot analysis. Findings The results indicated that income, trust in others, attachment to the local neighborhood and police access can increase residents’ perceptions of safety. Additionally, the neighborhoods’ perception of safety was found to positively impact the individual’s perception of safety. Research limitations/implications This study was limited in terms of generalizing the findings. Further studies could potentially include not only other cities in India but also, cities in developing countries in Africa and Latin America, where residents tend not to fear crime despite high crime rates. Practical implications Residents’ perceived safety does not necessarily reflect local crimes and security. Local policies to improve residents’ perceptions of safety have to often be separated from crime reduction because a reduction in some crimes would not necessarily improve residents’ perception of safety. Contrarily, if the crime rate is high, as in the case of Delhi, people may have a moderate fear of crime across the neighborhood. Originality/value Notably, this study found that, along with trust in others and attachment to the local neighborhood, individuals’ perception of safety is positively affected by neighborhoods’ perception of safety, which is assessed by the alternate analytic model.

This research seeks to identify the potential of local community to support the development of productive landscape in Yogyakarta City. It hypothesizes the important roles of ecological perception, aesthetical perception, economics perception of productive plant, social-cultural perception, the role of social organization and the status of house ownership that would assist productive landscape development. This paper contributes to the importance of productive landscape development through community participation. The road/street location was chosen with purposive sampling by considering the characteristics of the arterial roads and local streets. Five arterial roads and five local streets were determined as the locations. The field survey method, with semi-structured questionnaires, was employed to obtain the primary data. The residences in arterial roads and local streets were selected by the linear systematic random sampling and the respondents participating in this study were 160 persons. The results have shown that the perception of residents depends on the experiences of their situation. The majority of residents have disclosed the low response on economical perception of productive landscape development in the greenery. The development of productive landscape is influenced by the ecological, aesthetical and socio-cultural perceptions of the residents living nearby the arterial roads. Meanwhile, the residents of local streets have a different perception of productive landscape development, which is influenced by ecological and aesthetical perceptions. The collaboration between government and community should be made to develop the efforts to grow and manage the vegetations along the roadsides of the city.

The sound management of Social-Ecological Systems (SESs) requires a deep knowledge of the system and its dynamics, but effective strategies also need to include the perceptions of the local actors. These perceptions are specific and might differ for different actors. In this research, we analyzed the gender and across scales differences in the perception of a SES and unveiled the potential reasons that shape the different actors’ understanding. Using structural analysis tools, we analyzed the perceptions of local women, local men, and external stakeholders on the most relevant variables shaping the actual and future sustainable management of a SES. The research was developed in Santiago Comaltepec, an Indigenous community located in the Sierra de Oaxaca (Mexico) that manage their forest under community-based strategies. The gender differences in perception showed the inequalities in agency, voice, and power between women and men. The comparison of the perceptions between community members and external stakeholders showed greater similarities, but still reflected power differences and differences in knowledge and cultural representations. We concluded that sound and resilient SES management need to recognize the gendered and across scales diversity in perception, knowledge, and practices and create bridges and synergies among knowledge systems to shape desirable trajectories.

PurposeThis paper aims to provide an understanding of the influence of a casino on local inhabitants.Design/methodology/approachThe research reports on the findings of a longitudinal study conducted over a period of eight years which consisted of three identical surveys of local Hamilton residents to determine perceptions regarding having a casino in town. It was felt that the longitudinal approach could bring richness and new dimension to a quantitative research.FindingsThe study found that over the eight‐year period there were very few changes in the perceptions of local Hamilton residents, both those who had been to the casino and those who had not been to the casino. It was of particular interest to note the gender difference between males and females regarding positive and negative aspects of the casino.Research limitations/implicationsThe study reinforces the differences in perception of local people between those who have and have not visited the casino. This indicates that promotional activities to those who have not visited the casino may be beneficial to the overall community views and thus overall perception of casinos.Originality/valueThe paper provides industry with an understanding of the perceptions of local resident attitudes toward casinos over an extended period of time.

Abstract This paper asks how the intensity of individual local eParticipation affects users’ perception of democratically valuable effects. Drawing on participatory and deliberative theory literature we extract four participatory effects- internal political efficacy, common good orientation, tolerance, and legitimacy. Furthermore, the paper examines which cognitive factors may moderate the relationship between intensity of participation and perception of participatory effects. Drawing on online survey data from 670 citizens engaged in public budgeting online consultations on the local level, the conducted path analysis shows that intensity of participation seems to foster the perception of common good orientation and tolerance. The other perceptions of participatory effects were not influenced by participation intensity. Findings on moderating factors indicate that the beneficial effects of online participation were not distributed unequally among participants. In conclusion, the research presents evidence for an optimistic view on local eParticipation that is able to promote democratically valuable user experiences.

Abstract Literature in environmental public opinion has recently focused on the linkages between biophysical conditions and opinion formation. Where environmental issues and weather are more severe, individuals have been shown to have greater perception of environmental risk and greater support for environmental protection. Perceptions, however, do not always reflect actual weather, and perceptions may actually matter more when it comes to the formation of opinions. This paper explores this possibility in the context of drought, examining what variables determine individual awareness of drought and further exploring how drought awareness influences risk perception and policy preferences. Using data from two nationally representative probability-based panel surveys, as well as data from the U.S. Drought Monitor, the analysis indicates that while drought severity is the largest predictor of drought awareness, ideological and demographic variables also play a role. Importantly, drought awareness is actually a stronger predictor of concern for water shortages and support for water policy than drought severity, showing that understanding what determines drought awareness may be crucial for building policy support.

Over the last few decades, immigrant adaptation issues have continued to bear relevance both in Russia and around the world. Those who relocated to new places of residence no longer attach themselves to one place (locale), nation (state-civil community), or culture, which, of course, takes a toll on their self-perception and adaptation – this creates new opportunity and new dimensions in terms of identity. This mostly applies to civil, ethnic and local identities, due to their complex nature and their proportion between the country of origin and host environment. Both foreign and Russian researchers recognize the importance of studying immigrant identities, which is regarded as one of the components of their capacity for integration. This article considers the proportion of Russian identity, identity of country of origin, as well as local and ethnic identities of Azerbaijani immigrants living in Russia. Their readiness to transform their self-consciousness, with it being a key indicator of their integration into Russian society, is analyzed. This study’s empirical basis consists of data from an all-Russian survey among labor immigrants, conducted by the HSE and CEPRS in 19 Russian regions in 2017, as well as data from semi-structured interviews with Azerbaijani immigrants living in Moscow, which helped identify situational factors in their hierarchy of identities and understand the foundations on which their self-consciousness is based. Analyzed is how immigrants’ identity structure is influenced by age and place of residence, education level, type of immigration and duration of stay in Russia. It was revealed, based on in-depth interviews, that Russian identity among Azerbaijanis is based around a state-civil foundation, while in the case of elder generations it is based around their having been a common nation in the past. A conclusion is drawn indicating a transnational direction in Azerbaijani immigrants’ identity, with ethnic identity prevailing, which fits in favorably with a developing sense of connection to Russia both among circular and long-term migrants. In relation to comparable studies conducted in 2011, analyzed are the increasingly more positive assessments of the host Russian environment by Azerbaijani immigrants, which, in our estimation, creates a favorable foundation for developing a positive Russian identity among them.

An effective protected area system is essential for the long-term conservation of Myanmar's biodiversity. This study examined the attitudes of 2915 residents in 97 communities around three protected areas (PAs) in upper Myanmar: Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park in the western mountains, Htamanthi Wildlife Sanctuary in the hills bordering the Chindwin and Uru rivers, and Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary in the central dry zone. Logistic regression indicated a positive attitude toward the PAs was most highly correlated with a perception of conservation benefits and benefits resulting from management of the areas. Attitude was also significantly correlated with a perception of extraction benefits, conflicts with PA staff and crop damage by wildlife. Socioeconomic variables were less powerful than perceptions in predicting attitude and, unlike perceptions, their effects varied among the areas. The much greater effect of perceptions, especially positive ones, on people's attitudes indicates that understanding perceptions is important to improving the relationship between local residents and these PAs. This finding underscores the fact that a focus on conflicts to understand people's attitudes toward PAs may undervalue or miss critical positive perceptions that people hold. Understanding local residents' perceptions of PAs makes possible the creation of strategic, place-based management strategies that build on people's positive perceptions and mitigate their negative perceptions.

This research discussed domestic tourists' perception of tourism destination in Pangkalpinang, Indonesia. It has been formed a perception index using PCA with determined indicators such as accessibility, supporting facilities, the prices of snacks and security. The result indicates that most of the visitors have good perceptions of tourism destinations in Pangkalpinang. Nevertheless, there is an aspect that should be evaluated; it is about the availability of toilets at those tourist destinations. There is 53 percent of domestic tourists tell that there is no access to public toilet. Therefore, this research describes stakeholder to understand the existing condition and make an improvement in the future.

AbstractRapid habitat conversion, hunting as a retaliatory response to livestock depredation and, potentially, lack of knowledge regarding the species’ ecological role are the main factors influencing conservation of the Near Threatened jaguar Panthera onca in the Pantanal wetland of Brazil. Investigation of people's perceptions and attitudes towards a species is an important element of conservation initiatives but most information concerning human perceptions of jaguars in the Pantanal comes from conflict with ranchers, who typically perceive this species negatively as a result of economic losses. No information is available concerning perceptions of the jaguar by other inhabitants, particularly along riversides where the main activity is professional and recreational fishing. We used semi-structured questionnaires to interview 50 riverside inhabitants on how they perceive the jaguar and to investigate the influence of education and age on such perceptions compared to local people from rural properties in the Pantanal and other Brazilian biomes. ‘Dangerous’ was the predominant perception. We found that the negative perceptions of jaguars related to people's safety and not to economic losses from livestock depredation. We highlight environmental education programmes, ecotourism and better strategies to reduce livestock losses as useful tools for minimizing the perception that jaguars are dangerous in all situations.
