This book was released on 2004 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major objective of this study is to examine suitability of the bureaucratic management principles to the community-based forest management (CBFM), and to conceptualize and investigate three different types of organizational resistance to the CBFM, in four Indian state Forest Departments (FD). Using perceptions of the foresters and structural modeling techniques, three theoretical models are tested and variations across the four states and three management levels are explored. In the first model, the construct of organizational bureaucracy is construed as comprising of hierarchical rigidity, centralization of powers, non-participatory decision-making, and organizational rigidity, while acceptability of CBFM is composed of structural acceptability, cultural acceptability, and organizational support. The results reveal a high degree of incongruity between these two constructs that varies across the states but is uniform across the management levels. These differences suggest that the uniform organizational reforms, across states, pursued by the Government of India may prove counter productive. The final model consists of two dimensions of resistance to change (structural resistance and cultural resistance) and four categories of resistance factors (organizational, service related, personal, and environmental factors). Empirical results confirm the existence of structural and cultural resistance, and reveal that the foresters perceive greater resistance in the organizational structure than in the organizational culture. The results indicate that organizational bureaucratization is the major causal factor of structural resistance, while innovative culture has the most mitigating influence on 'cultural' resistance. The second model examines two dimensions of attitudinal resistance---disapproval of the CBFM systems by the foresters at an individual level and at organizational level, and four categories of causal factors of resistance---personality traits, service related features, external environmental factors, and socialization factors. The study suggests that members of the four state FDs of India have less resistance at an individual level, but show high resistance to the implementation of CBFM by the organization. Results further suggest that fear of losing prestige and authority is a major cause of resistance at the personal level, while hierarchical attitude is a primary causal factor of resistance to organizational level implementation. Some of the causal factors of both kinds of resistance show dissimilar effects across the four states and also across the management levels.

Book excerpt: Illegal logging and trade in timber is a major cause of forest degradation in the world today. Not only does it threaten biodiversity-rich old growth forests, it also endangers the livelihoods of the traditional communities that are dependent upon them. But controlling this global problem is not a simple matter of enacting new laws and enforcing new regulations OCo the rules already exist. If countries are to manage their forest sustainably they must implement existing laws effectively, and they must do so now! Cut and Run offers readers valuable insight on how this might be done."

Download or read book The Photoload Sampling Technique written by Robert E. Keane and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire managers need better estimates of fuel loading so they can more accurately predict the potential fire behavior and effects of alternative fuel and ecosystem restoration treatments. This report presents a new fuel sampling method, called the photoload sampling technique, to quickly and accurately estimate loadings for six common surface fuel components (1 hr, 10 hr, 100 hr, and 1000 hr downed dead woody, shrub, and herbaceous fuels). This technique involves visually comparing fuel conditions in the field with photoload sequences to estimate fuel loadings. Photoload sequences are a series of downward-looking and close-up oblique photographs depicting a sequence of graduated fuel loadings of synthetic fuelbeds for each of the six fuel components. This report contains a set of photoload sequences that describe the range of fuel component loadings for common forest conditions in the northern Rocky Mountains of Montana, USA to estimate fuel loading in the field. A companion publication (RMRS-RP-61CD) details the methods used to create the photoload sequences and presents a comprehensive evaluation of the technique.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following an interdisciplinary approach to debates about the future of tropical forests in Southeast Asia, the authors - experts in their field - unravel the extent to which the interests of local inhabitants, nation-states and international environmental movements are intertwined. This volume, a joint publication with Kyoto University Press, examines the highly politicized context in which local forestry problems intersect with global market forces, focusing on the social and economic diversity of different tropical forests and their specific historical background. It emphasizes the importance of examining local issues in their own right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India’s growing economic and socio-political importance on the global stage has triggered an increased interest in the country. This Handbook is a reference guide, which surveys the current state of Indian politics and provides a basic understanding of the ways in which the world’s largest democracy functions. The Handbook is structured around four main topics: political change, political economy, the diversity of regional development, and the changing role of India in the world. Chapters examine how and why democracy in India put down firm roots, but also why the quality of governance offered by India’s democracy continues to be low. The acceleration of economic growth since the mid-1980s is discussed, and the Handbook goes on to look at the political and economic changes in selected states, and how progress across Indian states continues to be uneven. It concludes by touching on the issue of India’s international relations, both in South Asia and the wider world. The Handbook offers an invigorating initiation into the seemingly daunting and complex terrain of Indian politics. It is an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, policy analysts, graduate and undergraduate students studying Indian politics.
