Full textAbstract:
The natural conditions in the loess gully area are harsh, and the construction of rural public spaces often lacks scientific guidance. It is essential to develop an optimization method for public spaces that is oriented toward the needs of villagers. For this study, the numerous river valley plain villages in Northern Shaanxi were selected as typical examples, with a focus on Liangqu Village as a case study. First, a public space perception evaluation system was established using the semantic differential method, which comprised four criterion-layer factors and nineteen indicator-layer factors. Perception evaluations were conducted for two types of public spaces: nodes and lanes. The results indicate that “facility completeness”, “accessibility”, and “activity diversity” were the most significant factors affecting villagers’ perceptions of node spaces. In contrast, “safety”, “landscape richness”, and “facility completeness” were the most critical factors influencing villagers’ perceptions of road spaces. Based on the evaluation results, the optimization needs of public spaces were categorized into four levels, and factors that urgently require improvement such as “facility completeness” and “safety” were identified. This study analyzed villagers’ perceptions and needs related to public spaces, providing scientific guidance for establishing a bottom-up design method for optimizing public spaces.

The present study entitled “ Utility Perception of Villagers about E-Class dugout type Farm Ponds (100 mts. x100 mts.) under Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan in Akola district ” was carried out as Research Review Committee Project for the year 2017-2018 in Akola district of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. The main objective of this study was to study the utility perception of the villagers about E-Class dugout type farm ponds. An exploratory social research design was used. For this study Akola district is purposely selected because dugout type farm ponds on available E-Class land of villages were dugout only in Akola district of Maharashtra under Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan"for recharging ground water level From Akola district 10 E-Class dugout type farm ponds of 100 mts. x100 mts. size were selected randomely from 10 villages those dugout during 2015-2016 by the District Supritendent Agriculture Office, Akola, Small Scale Irrigation Division, Akola and Minor Irrigation Division, Z.P. Akola. From each selected E-Class dugout type Farm-Pond Village 12 villagers were selected randomely. Thus this investigation was confined to a sample of 120 villagers for computing the utility perception of E-Class dugout type farm ponds under Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan . This research study clears that out of the total selected villagers 90.00 per cent villagers have express high level of utility perception about the E-Class dugout type farm ponds (100 mts. x100 mts.) constructed under the Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan in their villages. Also majority of the selected villagers suggested that at inlet side of the ponds some erosion control structure should be provided to control deep gulley formation. Hence it is recommended that the Developmental departments/agencies should construct E-Class dugout type Farm Ponds (100 mts. X 100 mts.) under the Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyanin all districts of Maharashtra for recharging ground water level.

Full textAbstract:
Accurate identification of the influencing factors and the mechanisms of the willingness-behavior paradox in rural residents in waste separation is conducive to stimulating rural residents to participate in rural environmental governance, which is important for solving the willingness-behavior paradox problem. By using CLES data, we analyzed the factors influencing rural residents’ willingness to separate garbage and behavioral paradoxes using the combined LOGIT-ISM-MICMAC model. The results of the study showed that (1) the regression results showed that eight factors, including publicity means, reward and punishment means, policy effect perception, villagers’ environmental protection behavior perception, gender, age, socio-economic status, and ecological livability status, affect the paradox of villagers’ willingness to separate garbage and behavior; (2) the results of the ISM model show that there are four main transmission paths, and the commonality lies in the common transmission paths of “policy publicity effect factor, villagers’ perception of environmental protection behavior, village ecological habitability, and deviation of willingness and behavior”; (3) the results of MICMAC model show that we should focus on strengthening the ecological habitat of villages, ensuring the effectiveness of policy promotion, and encouraging villagers’ environmental protection behavior to reduce the deviation of rural residents’ behavior and intention.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWe conducted a survey questionnaire to assess and compare public perceptions and knowledge of jaguars Panthera onca and pumas Puma concolor among two stakeholder groups likely to come into conflict with these large carnivores: cattle ranchers living near protected areas and inhabitants of two villages located within the multiple-use forest of the Maya Biosphere Reserve, Guatemala. We tested whether stakeholder group (i.e. rancher or villager) or previous experience with livestock attacks by carnivores predicted a negative perception of jaguars and pumas. The odds of people fearing an attack on humans by these felids and of recognizing the ecological importance of these species was best explained by stakeholder group. Villagers exhibited a more negative perception towards these felids than did cattle ranchers. Our results highlight the importance of tailoring conservation programmes in high risk areas to the needs of specific stakeholder groups. Further research is needed to understand which factors (i.e. ecological settings, socio-economic differences) best explain these differences and whether these differences in perception vary within groups. Programmes that work with local people to assess the ecological importance of large predators and the true risks of carnivore attacks on livestock and humans along with low-cost conflict mitigation measures should be implemented to increase the level of tolerance towards these carnivores.

This study aims to assess the perception of villagers in two villages for forest resources management and analyzes the forest resources uses patterns of the people residing surrounding the Khammouane provincial protected area (PPA), Khaymaeb and Houayhaed villages, Boualapha district, Khammouane province. The research findings revealed that: the involvement of the villagers in forestry resources management was somewhat limited, just only 1 or 2 times per year. Forestry resources management prior the year 2000 was at the medium level of 59.91%. Forestry resources management after the year 2000 is at the good level of 52.72%. Compliance level with laws and regulations of the villagers is about 69.09. Established the management regulations by the government is 69.09%, the concept of establishing the provincial protected area is 61.82%. Forestry resources management is very important for livelihood and 49.09% said that it has improved their livelihoods. The forestry resources management regulations set by the government is said to be 74.44% appropriate. Construction activities that need less than 5 cubic meters of wood, 94.55% of them have asked permission from village authority. Construction activities that need above 5 cubic meters of wood, 64.45% of them have asked permission from village authority and 34.55% requested from district authority. The sources of wood for construction about 61.82% taken from the village collective forest. 50.91% of the fire wood also collected from the village collective forest and 10.91% from village protected area.

Full textAbstract:
The street spaces in tourist-oriented traditional villages served both the daily lives of villagers and the leisure activities of tourists. However, due to insufficient understanding of the spatial characteristics and under-exploration of spatial genes, these spaces often suffered from homogenization during tourism development. Thus, identifying the characteristics and connotations of such streets, understanding the relationship between tourists’ perceptions and built environment elements, and developing optimization strategies for these rural street spaces were urgent issues. Many studies have evaluated street space characteristics from tourists’ behavior, but few have focused on rural areas. Especially, research combining new technologies like artificial intelligence to study the psychological perceptions of tourists is still in its infancy. This study used a typical traditional village as a case study and applied the YOLOv5 deep-learning model to build a perception evaluation system based on three dimensions: tourists’ aggregation degree, stay time, and facial expressions. The study conducted a multivariate regression analysis on 21 factors across 4 aspects: street scale morphology, environmental facilities, ground-floor interface, and street business types. Results indicated that the functional business type of the scene had the greatest impact on tourists’ perception of the street space environment, followed by ground-floor features and environmental facilities. The regression coefficient for business in situ values and spatial perception was 0.47, highlighting it as a key factor influencing characteristic perception. Landscape water systems, flat ground-floor façades, and business diversity also positively affected tourists’ perception. This study utilized advanced techniques like the YOLOv5 model, known for its speed and accuracy, to scientifically analyze tourists’ behavior and perceptions, serving as feedback and evaluation for the village’s built environment. Empirical analysis of Yuanjia Village validated the effectiveness of the multidimensional approach and spatial gene theory. Ultimately, this method identified 12 street characteristic factors significantly affecting tourists’ perceptions. The uniqueness of this study lies in its comprehensive approach, combining empirical research, spatial gene theory, and advanced object detection technology, providing new insights for village spatial planning and construction.

In this study a head of village was appointment as key informance in villages were sampled to be interviewed.There are 30 respondents which represent each villages. Data were obtained from the representative with questionnaries, then analyzed descriptively. Based on the public preception of water scarcity during the dry season in Karangdoro and Sumbermulyo village is a slight different. Most of the villagers in Karangdoro didn’t experience the presence of drought due to availability of DAM and water at the well to the needs of household, while Sumbermulyo villagers suffered of drought due to lack of DAM, and unavailable water wells in the dry seasons. The majority of villagers of Karangdoro and Sumbermulyo agreed that the forest serves as the optimal land cover for catchments water, the aesthetics of nature, and nature conservation.

Full textAbstract:
Villagers’ pro-environment behaviors profoundly impact the sustainable development of the rural eco-environment. Based on a survey of three traditional Chinese villages dealing with the challenges posed by modern development, we use structural equation models to analyze the contribution of villagers’ pro-environmental behaviors to rural social-ecological resilience (identification of disturbances, internal stability, absorption and transformation, and system innovation). The results show that the former positively impacts the latter. Strengthening public participation at the behavioral level and reusing traditional local knowledge at the cultural level are prominent factors. Place identity and social cohesion are the mediating factors and social mechanisms of the process. Additionally, the degree of ecological environment dependence, age, residence time, and other factors positively correlate with the perception of social-ecological resilience. Therefore, this paper proposes four strategies to strengthen multi-level environmental management, cultivate the local ecological memory, increase the diversity of management forces, and encourage villagers to develop the self-organizing ability of eco-environmental management, which are crucial to the sustainable development of the rural eco-environment. It also provides a promising reference for developing villages facing the same challenge.

Full textAbstract:
Village development aims to improve the welfare of villagers and the quality of human life. The purpose of this study was to formulate a coastal tourism management model toward developing independent tourist villages. This study employed a quantitative approach by using survey methods. The data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling (SEM). There were four variables namely: the potential of mangrove ecosystem, the perception of the coastal community, the coastal tourism facilities, and the coastal ecotourism. The results indicated that there were two variables which had a significant effect on the management of coastal tourist villages, namely the perception of coastal community and coastal ecotourism. Furthermore, the management of a coastal tourist village had a significant effect on the development of independent coastal tourist villages, and the management of coastal tourist villages was a strong mediator to develop an independent coastal tourist village.

Full textAbstract:
Linpan has a long history of over 2,300 years and is a unique cultural landscape heritage of the Chengdu Plain derived from the Dujiangyan hydraulic engineering. As urbanization has gradually degraded the Linpan landscape over the past decades, the government is helping to revitalize the local countryside by preserving it. The purpose of this study was to understand the perceptions of Linpan indigenous villagers about its conservation and use, and to investigate the differences in their perceptions and the factors influencing them. The city of Dujiangyan, located at the source of the Dujiangyan Irrigation Area, was taken as the case study area, and a questionnaire survey and quantitative analysis were adopted. The study shows that Linpan indigenous villagers generally support the protection of water systems and fields; Linpan’s vacation and health and wellness functions are recognized by villagers; and regarding Linpan land use, villagers generally prefer to take the form of land market transfer and are willing to transfer arable land and homestead. This also confirms differences in the villagers’ perceptions of the conservation and utilization of Linpan in different locations due to their divergent characteristics. This study provides a reference for the villagers’ perspective on the planning and action of Linpan conservation and use, suggesting the importance of villagers’ distinguishing factors in cultural landscape revitalization.

Water security is essential for maintaining health and well-being, and for reducing a population’s vulnerability in a disaster. Among resource-poor villagers in China, water-related disasters and climate change may increasingly affect people’s water security. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between perceived water security and disaster risk perception in a rural ethnic minority community. A cross-sectional household survey was conducted in 2015 in Xingguang village, Chongqing, China, examining the association between villagers’ perceptions of household water security, disaster risk, and sociodemographic variables. Among 52 household representatives, 84.6% relied on rainwater as their main water source and 63.5% reported having insufficient water on a regular basis. Only 32.7% perceived themselves to be living in a high-risk area, of which climate-related disasters such as storms (44.4%) and droughts (38.9%) were the most frequently reported disasters in their area. Insufficient water quantity, previous disaster experience, and household members on chronic disease medication were found to be associated with higher disaster risk perception. Perceived water security indicators were not found to be predictors of preparedness attitudes and coping ability. Addressing water sufficiency in both disaster risk reduction strategies and long-term water management will be necessary to improve the health and livelihood of rural villagers in the coming decades.

It is indirectly linked with increase in production and building capability and enhancing people’s participation in environment protection. Paper deals with analyzing the impact of various types of training, ranking of constraints, village level fuel-wood, fodder and timber requirement, evaluating the perception and attitude of villagers for tree plantation before and after training in two clusters of villages. In Cluster I small land holding followed by open grazing and harsh climate, frequent draught and in Cluster II Long gestation period open grazing and harsh climate were the most prominent reasons for not planting tree. About 50 % trees would have not been planted, if the training were not imparted to villagers.

Full textAbstract:
Farmers' work is carried out in rice fields, fields, fields, and gardens which are usually the livelihoods of the villagers. Currently, most of the farmers' work force is managed by older farmers. Meanwhile, the younger generation is less interested in continuing their parents' farming. Youth prefer to try their luck in the city because agriculture is less promising for economic improvement, and agricultural land is decreasing. This causes the youth's view of agriculture to be increasingly limited and it becomes difficult for them to stay on the farm. This study aims to examine the perception of young farmers towards farmer's work, to examine the perception-forming factors and to assess the relationship between the perception-forming factors and the perception of young farmers to the farmer's work. The basic method used is descriptive analysis with survey techniques. The research location was determined purposively, namely Bancak District, Semarang Regency. The sample was determined using a multistage cluster random sampling technique, as many as 60 young farmers spread over three villages, namely Pacekelan Village, Ganggeng Village, and Paduroso Village. The data used are primary data and secondary data. The data analysis used category classes to determine the perception of young farmers towards work as farmers and Rank Spearman (rs) to determine the relationship between the factors that shape perceptions and perceptions of young farmers towards work as farmers. The results showed that there was a very significant relationship between the family environment and socio-culture with youth perceptions of farmer work at the 99% confidence level, at the 95% level there was a significant relationship between work interactions and the primary social environment with youth perceptions of farmer work, while Formal education, non-formal education, secondary social environment, and cosmopolitan have no significant relationship with youth perceptions of farmer work

Full textAbstract:
Developing economic activities in villages has been known as one of the important approaches to poverty reduction, entrepreneurship development, and sustainable development of the rural economy. The most important feature of the Afghanistan villages’ economic structure is the lack of diversity in economic platforms as well as the lack of employment opportunities. In this regard, the present study was conducted to identify the components of the creation and development of diversification to rural economic activities and provide solutions in this context in the villages of the Baghlan Jadid district of Baghlan province. The statistical population for this research was all farmers of the Baghlan Jadid district. In this research, the sample size was determined using Cochran's formula of 363 people, which was done by multi-stage sampling method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire and the method was a face-to-face interview. Coefficient of Variation and Exploratory Factor Analysis was used to analyze and describe the data, in addition to descriptive statistics of centrality and dispersion. The results of the factor analysis showed that the components of "education-empowerment", "supporting component", "infrastructure-facilities component", "strategic-legal component" and "access to market component" are considered to be the most important components of creating and developing diversification in rural economic activities, respectively. Also, the findings of the study showed that the villages of this district have the potential capabilities, such as the presence of water resources such as springs and rivers for fish farming, the existence of beautiful landscapes and green spaces, the presence of the spirit of hospitality among the villagers and the belief of the villagers in the employment and income generation of non-agricultural activities. The findings of this innovative study, while facilitating the involvement of villagers in rural economic activities, can also be useful for policymakers and planners in this field.

Full textAbstract:
Rural residents’ perception is an important way of evaluating rural ecosystem services. Different topographies affect the level of ecosystem services, thus affecting residents’ perceived preferences. This study conducted a questionnaire survey of 1176 rural residents in mountainous, hilly, and plain areas of Shandong Province. It analyzed respondents’ satisfaction with ecosystem services and landscape preferences in different topographical areas. The results showed that the perception of ecosystem services was higher than average in all three topographic areas. The perceptions from high to low were cultural services, provisioning services, and regulating services. The perception of ecosystem services was significantly affected by topography, with significant differences between mountainous and plain areas in particular. Rural residents’ perceptions of cultural services varied widely and there were diverse preferences. This study believes that the important concerns in enhancing the perception of ecosystem services among rural residents are to raise villagers’ ecological awareness by meeting their growing spiritual needs and the high sensitivity of older people.

Full textAbstract:
India is the stronghold for endangered species and poaching and illegal trade have seriously threatened wildlife conservation. Against this backdrop, Indian regulatory authorities have strengthened workforce capacity for monitoring and enforcement actions against poaching, employed patrolling systems, and adopted lethal deterrence-based policies. However, efforts to control poaching and conserve biodiversity are often at odds with local communities' needs and interests, and stakeholder participation in management is integral to successful wildlife conservation. This research aims to understand stakeholder perception of anti-poaching management practices and tribal customs in protected areas. A survey was conducted to gather information from forest staff and fringe villagers at the four national parks and one wildlife sanctuary in Assam, India. The results indicate that villagers around protected areas generally perceive that the Forest Department and patrolling effectively prevent poaching. However, stakeholders' perceptions of the lethal deterrence-based policies and tribal customs were split, depending on the local communities' unique social, economic, and political situations. Leveraging these responses, wildlife managers in India can collaborate with villagers around the protected areas to address the threats of poaching to wild megafauna. Further, this research underpins the reason to strengthen the enforcement capacity of forest staff, as they stand at the frontline of endangered species protection in biodiversity-rich, developing countries.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the increase in forest areas and villages under the participatory program over the last two decades in Tanzania, there is little insight into the communities’ views regarding their participation. This study aimed to explore communities’ participation in the participatory forest program in Tanzania. The survey involved 159 households, randomly sampled from four villages bordering state and community-managed forests, in West Usambara Mountains. The factor analysis summarised three components of participation. Economic, decision-making, and protection activities are used to formulate the participation intensity index. The study observed significantly higher levels and intensity of participation in the villages around the state compared to those around the community forest. Training attendance, trust on institutions, and location were significant predictors of participation intensity of the households. In conclusion, the perceived performance of the participatory programs in achieving the participation aims has been moderate with better results in the state forest jointly managed with the community. Raising awareness and improving communication with villagers, fulfilling promises for the communities, and provision of more forest-linked interventions are recommended to improve the situation in West Usambara.

There is an intense debate on the effectiveness of the village fund program initiated by the Indonesian government. This paper examines the program's effectiveness in improving the quality of life and community well-being in rural areas from the villagers' perspective. Few studies have investigated the program's impacts from an individual perspective using primary data. Thus, this is the first study that analyzes the influence of the perceived management of the village fund program and community trust on community engagement and individuals' perceptions of the quality of life and community well-being. This study collected primary data by surveying 200 households in four sub-districts of the Lebak Regency in Banten Province in Indonesia. The survey data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. Results show that the perceived management of a village's funds directly affects the villagers' perception of quality of life and community well-being. The perceived village fund management also provides a significant path to community engagement. The paper concludes that the government should consider including the community in its village development program, thus increasing the residents' perceived quality of life and ensuring the program's success. This study contributes to the recent literature by providing new evidence about the impact of the village fund program on quality of life and community well-being using primary data at the household level.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to understand the settlement pattern and the factors that determine the selection of settlement locations on areas prone to landslides at Guntur Macan Village, West Lombok Regency. The research uses qualitative method by conducting questionnaire and in-depth interview to respondents. Mapping of community houses together with analysis on nearest neighbors in viewing the settlement patterns were conducted. Categorical frequency analysis was used to measure villagers’ perceptions that affect their choice to settle at disaster-prone areas. The result of mapping shows the existing settlement patterns are either cluster, linear or spread. The result of analysis of nearest neighbors shows T value of 1.74, which means an evenly spread pattern. Based on villager’s perception, factors determining the selection of settlement locations on areas prone to landslides are distance away from high-noises, pollution levels that do not interfere with health, and accessibility to job sites.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose People from chronic flood-affected areas in the Sundarban islands understand that individual efforts are not sufficient to deal with the floods of increasing magnitude caused by tidal waves in coastal areas and take proactive measures to minimise the impact of floods before turning to the government for support. Their perception of disaster risk influences them to engage in collective activities and develop strategies to mitigate flood disasters. However, many villagers do not participate in collective disaster management activities. The purpose of this paper is to explore the factors of homogeneity that motivate people to work together to reduce the impact of natural hazards. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative research has been conducted in Sibpur and Gobordhanpur villages of Indian Sundarban islands. Participant observation and in-depth interview have been applied to explore the collective activities of disaster reduction. Affected, non-affected villagers, representatives of the local government and government administrative officers have been interviewed to understand the disaster management efforts of the government and local people. Findings The research has found that drivers of homogeneity and leadership are important for collective activities in disaster management. Threat of disasters, potential loss of livelihood and damages of properties, emotional attachment with the village and ties with extended family members influence villagers to engage in collective activity. Collective activities of villagers help to address the local needs of disaster reduction to the government in a better way. Originality/value The study has revealed that strong leadership is required in effective collective activities to manage disaster in the Indian Sundarban islands.

This research is aim at finding out direct effect of Three Teachers (Tri Guru) on environmentally soundbehavior and to identify indirect effect of Tri Guru on environmentally sound behavior through perception aboutThree Balance Concept (Tri Hita Karana), cultural value, and motivation of villagers in Sukawati Village,District Sukawati, Gianyar Regency, Bali in 2009.Data was collected by questionnaire. The item validity of instruments was tested by Product MomentCorrelation; and the reliability was tested by Alpha Cronbach. The total sample of 251 was recruited during thestudy. Data analyses applied to test the model matching was Structural Equation Modeling.The result of analysis finds out that Tri Guru affects environmentally sound behavior significantly throughperception about Tri Hita Karana, cultural value, and motivation in greater value than direct effect of Tri Guruon environmentally sound behavior. The Model match test shows that the modified path model have achievedthe criteria of model matching, because matching test indicators achieve minimum cut-off value.Based on these findings, it could be concluded that any changing or variation on environmentally soundbehavior have been directly affected by villagers evaluation on Tri Guru, indirectly affected by perception aboutTri Hita Karana, cultural value of environmental care, and motivation to preserve the function of environment.Therefore, when we want to increase environmentally sound behavior of villagers, these factors such as TriGuru, perception, cultural value and motivation are necessary to be taken into account.

Full textAbstract:
Local people’s perception of nature-based tourism evolution and consequent impacts on their well-being are crucial in promoting ecotourism and achieving sustainable development. This study focused on indigenous populations’ attitudes concerning tourism activities taking place in the Iona National Park, located in the Namibe Province of Angola, where ecotourism is considered an anchor product and is expected to become an economic driver of major importance. To obtain information that is useful for a changing tourism management in order to increase rural communities’ well-being, we conducted a survey addressing local people’s perceptions about the following main topics: perception of the presence of visitors and of their activities; present and prospective positive and negative effects of the park; and government policies that should be developed in the near future. The research shows that most respondents’ perceptions strongly vary according to locality. The level of urbanization and the distance to the core areas of touristic activities appear to be the main factors driving the villagers’ perception polarization. Thus, conflicting interests between nature conservation and local populations’ well-being should be addressed and managed according to locality profiles, with some exceptions, such as ensuring the entire population has access to pastoral lands.

Rural tourism has gradually become an important support for rural development and revitalization. It can promote the comprehensive development of local rural revitalization, accelerate the implementation of rural revitalization strategies, and increase the economic income of farmers and activate the rural cultural environment. Based on a field survey of Zhengying Village in southern Yunnan, this study analyzes the current tourism development status of Zhengying Village from the perspectives of both villagers and tourists, and identifies a series of challenges that are not conducive to promoting the development of traditional village tourism. On this basis, in order to enhance the tourism experience of tourists, increase the income of villagers, and promote the development of local tourism industry, it is necessary for grassroots governments to coordinate tourism planning and design, cultural and tourism departments to innovate cultural and tourism promotion methods, village collectives to enhance cultural excavation capabilities, villagers to stimulate internal service motivation, highlight the characteristics of rural tourism, and promote the development and growth of local tourism industry.

The research objective was to determine the level of understanding and perception of forest communities against carbon trading and determine the factors that influence the understanding and perception of forest communities on carbon trading. The experiment was conducted for six months (February 2015 -July 2015), involving 60 respondents from community leaders and ordinary citizens from four villages namely Sungai Rawa village, Rawa Mekar Jaya village, Penyengat village and Teluk Lanus village in the region Sungai Apit district of Siak, Province Riau with a survey method that is divided into two activities: (1) Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and (2) structured interviews with villagers. The study states that the majority of respondents (58.49%) stated that they had never heard of the term climate change / REDD / carbon trading. The majority of respondents (50.00%) did not give an answer on the form of institutions that have the potential to implement carbon trading activities, while other respondents (12.50%) expressed the need for training for members of the institution designated to implement the REDD + activities. Understanding of society remains low and the perception of the public is still in doubt with this activity becau se it has not seen examples of activities that have been successful. Factors associated with a real understanding in relation to carbon trading activities are education and perception. Results of other studies conclude that there is a significant correlation between education and perception.

Full textAbstract:
In Morogoro Region of south-central Tanzania, loss of crops and safety concerns due to elephants compromises livelihoods in many rural communities relying on subsistence agriculture. Using a social-ecological system framework to examine conflict-coexistence between people and elephants, this paper explores drivers that influence human-elephant interaction and subsistence farmer attitudes towards elephants in 10 villages from three different districts. Surveys and interviews document experiences interacting with elephants along with direct and indirect costs incurred in sharing the landscape, revealing different tolerance levels by residents of subject communities towards elephants that have important implications for elephant conservation. Rather than uniformly negative beliefs about elephants, analyses reveal that over the past decade a shift has occurred from largely favorable to unfavorable. The variables influencing attitudes included amounts of crops lost to elephants, perceived benefits from elephants, amounts of crops lost to other causes, perceived trend of human-elephant conflict (HEC) in the past three decades and level of education. Villager tolerance varied by level of income, perception on how the community coexists with elephants, amounts of crops lost to elephants and compensation. The study contributes to understanding how HEC is affecting the relationship between people and elephants, revealing a shift in the conflict-coexistence continuum from positive to broadly negative and identifying characteristics underlying varying tolerance towards elephants in different communities. Rather than a static condition, HEC emerges under specific conditions at particular times and places through varying, uneven interactions between rural villagers and elephants. In communities vulnerable to food insecurity, such conflict exacerbates existing problems of poverty, social inequality, and feelings of oppression. Addressing the causes of HEC, when possible, will be essential to elephant conservation as well as to improving the wellbeing of rural villagers.

Introduction: Solid waste management in rural areas is laced with many challenges which involve multiple stakeholders. Objective was to explore the perspectives and practices of adults regarding solid waste management in households and commercial establishments of villages under a sub-centre, Bangalore Urban district. Methods: A mixed method study (Quantitative and Qualitative) was conducted at a sub-centre area which caters to 10 villages of Bangalore urban district, Karnataka over a period of two months (January 2019 to February 2019). Quantitative data was collected from 200 adult participants while for the qualitative part a total of 2 FGDs and 10 IDIs were conducted. Results: Mean age of the participants was 40.2±14.7 years and majority (83%) of them were female. Mean perception score of the participants was 6.7±2.4 out of a total of 14. The most commonly reported disposal methods were burning (51.5%) followed by dumping in open spaces (48%). Majority (96.5%) were willing to keep the streets clean, 53% were willing to segregate waste or compost (49%). Although the participants were aware of harmful effects of improper management of solid waste on environment and health, good practices were inadequate. Scarcity of appropriate dumping sites, lack of transportation facilities of waste to the dumping site and non-co-operation among the residents emerged as the barriers in solid waste management. Conclusions: Lack of land availability and social consciousness among the villagers played a major role in solid waste management. Addressing this issue demands a intersectoral co-ordination with interventions directed at empowering the villagers and local bodies and enhancing their involvement in proper waste management.

Karo Plateau is one of the most valuable assets for North Sumatra Province, Indonesian. In addition to fertile soil and producing good quality vegetables and fruit, this plain also has architectural heritage to be proud of. Several villages up to now can be seen and visited which stores various Karo architectural works including some traditional buildings and houses. Change with the times, the movement of people also occurs for various reasons. The development of the city in this province makes the villagers look for livelihood in the city. However, the inheritance of ancestors was still held firmly to the present with a different format. The Karo family currently lives in shophouse and is no longer in a traditional house and they have a business there. The perception of space in traditional houses really carried over in their daily lives. Using qualitative methods, this article explains the interpretation of the different perceptions of Karo people regarding the space and form of their place of residence. However, the essence or meaning that exists in the traditional Karo architecture is still approved until now in a different form and format.

Climate change poses a significant threat to water resources globally, with potential impacts on water availability, quality, and accessibility. Kendujhar district, located in the eastern part of India, plays a crucial role in Odisha's economy due to its rich mineral resources and diverse ecosystem. The objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of mining on water resource depletion and its consequences with respect to the context of climate change. To fulfill the objective, data was collected from various secondary as well as primary sources. Precisely four data collection methodologies were applied: (a) Interviewing key informants based on a designed questionnaire or checklist (b) documentary research (c) organizational mapping (d) Focused Group Discussions. Both quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods have been employed in carrying out the analysis of data collected from primary and secondary sources. The analysis has been done with the help of a spreadsheet application. The data for the present study has been collected using a structured questionnaire structured questionnaire from two blocks. Based on the survey data, a minority of villagers in Patna Block are satisfied with the quality of water. Overall, only 43% of villagers reported being satisfied, whereas 57% reported being unsatisfied. Erendei village has the lowest satisfaction rate at 0%, while Ghatbalijadi village has the highest satisfaction rate at 100%. The dissatisfaction level is 87.5% in, 71.4% in Kothanghar, and 62.5% in Dumuria. The average satisfaction level across all villages is 64%. This suggests that a majority of people are at least somewhat satisfied with the water quality. However, there is a wide range of satisfaction levels between villages, from a low of 10% in Badapalasa to a high of 96% in Tikaragumura. This suggests that there are significant variations in water quality and access between different communities.

Full textAbstract:
Rural healthcare is an essential aspect to consider in rural revitalization. Using the SERVQUAL model to examine the present state and challenges of healthcare service quality in Shandong Province, it was observed that rural people's perception of actual value falls short of their expectations in five different areas: tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The primary challenges entail inadequate public health consciousness among particular villagers, deficient modernization of rural healthcare facilities, and illogical regional health strategizing. Hence, to enhance the standard of living in rural regions and foster the building of a rural public health network, it is imperative to take initiatives to enhance villagers' hygiene awareness, promote the modernization of rural medical aid, and enhance practitioners' expertise via various means.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the risk perceptions and activities of people to reduce impacts of disaster. Design/methodology/approach Case study research has been conducted in village Podhradí nad Dyjí in the Dyje river basin in Czech Republic. Villagers from different age groups, experts, NGO members have been interviewed to understand people’s perceptions of flood risks and their actions. Findings The research has found that changing flood insurance policy influenced people’s risk perception. There is also increasing self-dependency among people to reduce impacts of disaster. They come together to support each other and develop collectivities in managing disaster. People’s actions and willingness to participate in disaster management activities change with distance from the river bank. Research limitations/implications The village identified for the case study research has been affected by floods after implementation of the Crisis Management Act No. 240/2000 Coll. The findings of the study are influenced by geographical location of the municipality and cannot be generalised in the Czech Republic. Practical implications The research has listed physical as well as socio-economic and cultural indicators of risk perception in the Czech Republic. These indicators and outcomes should help to assess and identify the gaps in reducing impacts of floods. Originality/value The study has revealed the interconnection between physical, socio-economic, and cultural factors of risk perception after implementing the Crisis Management Act No. 240/2000 Coll. and changing strategies in disaster management in the Czech Republic.

This article focuses on a social intervention effort that has been going on for about 15 years to free a group of people who have been under debt bondage in rural India. They have worked as members of self-help groups (SHGs) and now are members of a producers’ company devoted to the cause of organic farming. The article investigates the role that is played by greed, altruism and social capital in sustainability perceptions of such villagers who only recently got exposed to the ways of an aspirational society. We found that greed and altruism played very little part in predicting sustainability perceptions, but social capital was a major predictor. While bonding social capital enhanced sustainability perception, bridging social capital reduced it. The results are understood in the overall social context of the Indian rural society and the social processes that unfolded during this intervention.

The increased attention given to health, food security, and biodiversity conservation in recent years should bring together conventional scientists and indigenous people to share their knowledge systems for better results. This work aims to assess how grasshoppers are perceived by the local people in southern Cameroon, particularly in terms of food, health, and landscape conservation. Villagers were interviewed individually using a rapid rural assessment method in the form of a semi-structured survey. Nearly all people (99%) declared that they are able to identify local grasshoppers, generally through the color of the insect (80%). Crop fields were the most often cited landscape (16%) in terms of abundance of grasshoppers, with forest being less mentioned (8%). In general, villagers claimed that grasshopper abundance increased with forest degradation. Grasshoppers were found during all seasons of the year but noted to be more abundant during the long dry seasons. People found grasshoppers both useful and harmful, the most harmful reported being Zonocerus variegatus, an important crop pest. Cassava is the most attacked crop with 75–100% losses. Industrial crops, such as cocoa, coffee, and bananas, were not cited as being damaged by grasshoppers. The most effective conventional method cited for the control of pest grasshoppers is the use of pesticides (53%) with, in most cases (27%), a 75–100% efficiency. The traditional method of spreading ash was also often cited (19%), with an estimated efficiency of 25–75%. Biological methods were neither cited nor used by the villagers. Most of them (87%) declared that they eat grasshoppers; some sold these insects in the market (58%) and some used them to treat diseases (11%).

Most of them (87%) declared that they eat grasshoppers; some sold these insects in the market (58%) and some used them to treat diseases (11%).

In this study, the impact of Madhupur National Park on local peoples livelihoods was assessed. To find local peoples perception on collaborative natural resources management. This study was conducted from July, 2012 to December, 2012 on two villages named Talki and Sholakuri. Data collection was based on stratified random sample. Stratification was based on park proximity of respondent households that is (inside park) 0 km, 0.5 km distance, 1 km distance, 1.5 km distance and 2 km distance from Madhupur National Park boundary. The five strata were compared with respect to households natural resource dependency, households income, income diversification, income level, assets and perception on present management system. Present management system was also discussed to emphasize park management authority contribution on local livelihood. Based on analysis of collected data from two villages it was assumed that the nearest people were more dependent on natural resource of park than far people. The simple correlation coefficient for the distance of household with natural resource dependency was negatively significant. Household average monthly incomes in two villages were approximately same but Talki villagers were 79.25% depend on park related activity and this dependency decreased with increasing of distance. Present park management system plays an important role to reduce people and park animosity by providing aid and training to the local offensive persons and involve them into park conservation. A trend analysis of decreasing forest offences represented that, the present management system is better than past time and it could be able to reduce people park animosity.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v5i2.14603 J.

In this paper, we extend recent discussions on the relationship with the host place of ‘temporary’ or non- hukou migrants in major Chinese cities through the lens of three psychological processes: familiarity, attachment and identity. The empirical analysis is based on fieldwork conducted in selected villages-in-the-city in Guangzhou. A mixed methods approach is employed. The findings highlight the emotional distance between temporary migrants and their urban milieu: while some become familiar with the city through their prolonged stay, very few establish attachment and identity. The analysis shows that the dominance of indigenous villagers is a major obstacle for migrants to develop attachment to the given village-in-the-city; moreover, perceived institutional discriminations negatively affect migrants’ attachment to the city. The findings also corroborate a social constructionist perception of place identity: when place identity is legitimated and reproduced by the hukou system, it is difficult for migrants to challenge the hegemonic constructions of place and identity and to create their own narratives of identities.
