The government of Indonesia allocated state land to private companies to establish forest plantations. However, ownership of this land was contested by some Sumatran communities. The plantation company, endorsed by the government, quickly developed a partnership to resolve the conflict, but this was unclear and inequitable. Action research was carried out to facilitate communication among stakeholders. This communicative action changed some perceptions and shared values began to emerge. A forum was established, which contributed to equitability producing a better partnership.
Partnerships implementing ecosystem-based moose management in Sweden
Sweden is undergoing an extensive transformation from single species management towards ecosystem-based management. This study analyses the implementation of the new moose management system, focusing on the newly formed partnerships at ecosystem level (the moose management areas) and their potential to ease conflicts between participants and develop into sustainable collaborations that enable ecosystem-based management.
Indigenous claims and conflicts in managing the Abijata-Shalla Lakes National Park, Ethiopia
This paper examines claims and conflicts in the management of the Abijata-Shalla Lakes National Park in the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia. We used data from households, key informants (elders, park managers), and focus group discussions. Poor wildlife policy resulting in space competition between wildlife and humans (other forms of land use), limited means of revenue generation for insiders and centralized benefits from tourism have accumulated grievance and then conflict between national park authority and local communities.
new index for mapping built-up and bare land areas from Landsat-8 OLI data
Remote sensing is a useful technology for monitoring the spatial distribution and expansion of built-up and bare land areas. One effective approach, known as the normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), has been promoted for identifying built-up areas based on Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM)/Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) data.
Assessing the long-term impact of climatic variability and human activities on the water resources of a meso-scale Mediterranean catchment
This article addresses the critical need for a better quantitative understanding of how water resources from the Hérault River catchment in France have been influenced by climate variability and the increasing pressure of human activity over the last 50 years. A method is proposed for assessing the relative impacts of climate and growing water demand on the decrease in discharge observed at various gauging stations in the periods 1961–1980 and 1981–2010.
