Book excerpt: Par le biais d'une recherche-action participative portant sur trois études de cas, le présent document identifie des effets écologiques, sociaux et économiques, de même que des facteurs pouvant faciliter ou entraver l'implication des communautés locales et autochtones dans la planification et la gestion des aires protégées. La thèse visait à comprendre les réticences à la mise en pratique des recommandations internationales des vingt-cinq dernières années concernant cette implication. À cette fin, la recherche porte sur l'élaboration du premier plan de gestion de trois aires protégées situées au Costa Rica, présentant des caractéristiques écologiques, sociales et économiques assez singulières : un volcan devenu actif entouré d'une communauté majoritairement agricole, un territoire ancestral autochtone et une chaîne de montagnes dans la zone métropolitaine de la capitale du pays. Nous constatons que l'implication des communautés locales multiplie les effets positifs pour chacune des dimensions (écologique, sociale et économique), peu importe les particularités et le type de propriété des terres (publique, privée ou mixte) des aires protégées au moment de l'élaboration des plans de gestion. L'approche associant la recherche à l'action fait émerger des processus collaboratifs dans une dynamique d'apprentissage collectif, à partir de besoins communs identifiés par les communautés locales et les administrateurs des aires protégées. Par le travail conjoint, la recherche-action participative soutient tous les acteurs dans l'acquisition ou l'amélioration de capacités, puisqu'elle : facilite l'accès aux services des différents secteurs gouvernementaux ou paragouvernementaux; suscite l'intérêt et bâtit la confiance entre les acteurs; légitime la variété des savoirs en combinant les connaissances locales et scientifiques; assure la restitution au niveau local des résultats des travaux de recherche; et ; valorise la relation des communautés locales avec le territoire habité. Cette implication est un moyen efficace pour les communautés de bâtir sur leurs connaissances et leur savoir-faire de même que sur ce qu'elles ont déjà entrepris pour préserver leur identité, leur culture, leurs modes de vie et la diversité des ressources naturelles dont elles dépendent. Les effets se traduisent pour tous par : une meilleure connaissance du territoire lors de la planification; une communauté locale mieux organisée pour les actions planifiées, et ; la mise en place de pratiques économiques plus diversifiées et respectueuses de l'environnement pouvant s'inscrire dans la durée. En conséquence, ces processus participatifs suscitent l'appropriation des actions de conservation et de mise en valeur du territoire écologique chez les communautés locales et attirent une plus grande diversité des moyens de subsistance de même que des sources de financement. L'amélioration de la qualité de vie humaine liée à la conservation de la biodiversité requiert la contribution de divers secteurs et de différents niveaux politiques, impliquant les communautés locales dans une dynamique horizontale pour œuvrer au bien commun. L'approche de type recherche-action participative constitue une méthodologie efficace pour initier et construire une concertation structurante de la planification et de la gestion des territoires. L'existence ou, à défaut, la mise en place de plateformes multisectorielles, - alliant les secteurs gouvernementaux, organisations non gouvernementales, institutions de recherche ou d'enseignement, communautés locales, etc. -, consolide la planification et la gestion participative du territoire. Ce « travail ensemble » produit des résultats collectivement plus significatifs que les efforts conduits individuellement par les chercheurs, gouvernements ou politiques internationales, mais requiert le soutien de ces derniers pour se propager. À l'intérieur d'un schéma de gestion intégrée du territoire, une aire protégée peut devenir le noyau autour duquel s'installe un mouvement collaboratif entre divers acteurs au niveau local, national et international, qui se partagent les responsabilités selon leurs mandats respectifs, créent des outils et mobilisent les ressources vers la conservation de manière juste et équitable avec une incidence légale et politique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derrière la vitrine et les programmes qui les accompagnent (réappropritation des territoires, écotourisme, protection de l'environnement, implication participative des personnes y résidant), par-delà la volonté de faire des espaces protégés les tremplins d'un développement durable, quelle est, sur place, la réalité de ces zones ? Autrement formulé : de quel type de tensions et de désillusions sont-elles la source ? Comment se jouent, in situ, la préservation de la nature, la distribution des richesses générées ou celles des missions dévolues aux différents intervenants (Etat, acteurs locaux, organisations, entreprises) ? Quelles disparités au niveau du succès de ces aires, selon qu'elles se situent en pays développés ou en pays en voie de développement ? Afin de lever le voile sur les tiraillements, noeuds structurels et échecs de ces espaces. détour par le Québec, le Bénin, la Guadeloupe, Madagascar... En plaçant les espaces protégés, de quelque nature juridique et administrative qu'ils soient, au coeur de sa réflexion, ce douzième numéro des Etudes caribéennes questionne le revers de la médaille et met à jour les dysfonctionnements, les demi-échecs, les voeux pieux, les luttes dont ils sont l'objet. Se focalisant sur la Caraïbe, sans pour autant refuser de dresser un bilan critique de ce type de territoires ailleurs sur le globe, les auteurs de ces essais révèlent des problématiques structurelles et socio-économiques qui n'ont rien de locales, mais qui concernent, plus généralement, la difficile capacité de l'humanité à valoriser et gérer ce qu'elle cherche par tous les moyens à défendre.

Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Download or read book Participatory Action Research written by Jacques M. Chevalier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully revised and updated, this second edition of Participatory Action Research (PAR) provides new theoretical insights and many robust tools that will guide researchers, professionals and students from all disciplines through the process of conducting action research ‘with’ people rather than ‘for’ them or ‘about’ them. PAR is collective reasoning and evidence-based learning focussed on social action. It has immediate relevance in fields ranging from community development to education, health, public engagement, environmental issues and problem solving in the workplace. This new edition has been extensively revised to create a user-friendly textbook on PAR theory and practice, including: updated references and a comprehensive overview of different approaches to PAR (pragmatic, psychosocial, critical); more emphasis on the art of process design, especially in complex social settings characterized by uncertainty and the unknown; developments in the use of Web2 collaborative tools and digital strategies to support real-time data gathering and processing; updated examples and stories from around the world, in a wide range of fields; critical commentaries on major issues in the social sciences, including stakeholder theory, systems thinking, causal analysis, monitoring and evaluation, research ethics, risk assessment and social innovation. This modular textbook provides novel perspectives and ideas in a longstanding tradition that strives to reconnect science and the inquiry process with life in society. It provides coherent and critical treatment of core issues in the ongoing evolution of PAR, making it suitable for a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. It is intended for use by researchers, students and working professionals seeking to improve or rethink their approach to co-creating knowledge and supporting action for the well-being of all.

Download or read book Administrative Traditions written by B. Guy Peters and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary public administration reflects its historical roots, as well as contemporary ideas about how the public bureaucracy should be organized and function. This book argues that there are administrative traditions that have their roots centuries ago but continue to influence administrative behaviour. Further within Western Europe, North America, and the Antipodes there are four distinctive administrative traditions: Anglo-American, Napoleonic, Germanic, and Scandinavian. These are not the only traditions however, and the book also explores administrative traditions in Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Islamic world. In addition, the book contains a discussion of how administrative traditions of the colonial powers influenced contemporary administration in Africa, and how they continue to interact with traditional forms of governance. These discussions of tradition and persistence are also discussed in light of the numerous attempts to reform and change public administration. Some administrative traditions have been more capable than others of resisting attempts at reform, especially those associated with the New Public Management.

Download or read book Protected Area Management written by Barbara Sladonja and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected areas are at the base of the most national and international conservation strategies. Due to the many unpredictable elements in ecology matters, each protected area requires a case-specific set of guidelines but a common issue is how to cope with human interaction. The management of protected areas is replete with challenges and the only way to gain understanding and achieve greater management possibilities is to exchange experiences and knowledge. Environmental managers are aware of that and together with scientists are looking for more modern and better solutions, both with respect to natural resources and human interactions in many issues regarding nature protection. This publication presents reviews and research results on protected areas management, as well as 12 case studies derived from around the world with the aim of improving management effectiveness of the protected areas.

Book excerpt: For ecologist John Terborgh, Manu National Park in the rainforest of Peru is a second home; he has spent half of each of the past twenty-five years there conducting research. Like all parks, Manu is assumed to provide inviolate protection to nature. Yet even there, in one of the most remote corners of the planet, Terborgh has been witness to the relentless onslaught of civilization.Seeing the steady destruction of irreplaceable habitat has been a startling and disturbing experience for Terborgh, one that has raised urgent questions: Is enough being done to protect nature? Are current conservation efforts succeeding? What could be done differently? What should be done differently? In Requiem for Nature, he offers brutally honest answers to those difficult questions, and appraises the prospects for the future of tropical conservation. His book is a clarion call for anyone who cares about the quality of the natural world we will leave our children.Terborgh examines current conservation strategies and considers the shortcomings of parks and protected areas both from ecological and institutional perspectives. He explains how seemingly pristine environments can gradually degrade, and describes the difficult social context –a debilitating combination of poverty, corruption, abuses of power, political instability, and a frenzied scramble for quick riches –in which tropical conservation must take place. He considers the significant challenges facing existing parks and examines problems inherent in alternative approaches, such as ecotourism, the exploitation of nontimber forest products, "sustainable use," and "sustainable development."Throughout, Terborgh argues that the greatest challenges of conservation are not scientific, but are social, economic, and political, and that success will require simultaneous progress on all fronts. He makes a compelling case that nature can be saved, but only if good science and strong institutions can be thoughtfully combined.
