Proceso autogestivo para la conservación de suelos y agua en sistemas campesisnos sustentables. Los casos de Vicente Guerrero y La Reforma, Tlaxcala
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Sánchez Morales, Primo.
En las comunidades campesinas e indígenas de México, prevalecen procesos autogestivos para el manejo de los recursos naturales, para la organización del trabajo agrícola y la realización de eventos sociales y religiosos. No obstante a la presión del proceso modernizador y la aculturación de las sociedades, en las zonas rurales se expresan prácticas sociales como la cooperación, la participación y el trabajo colectivo.  Con base en lo anterior, el objetivo de este trabajo de investigación planteó identificar los factores técnicos y sociales que propician procesos autogestivos comunitarios para el manejo de los recursos naturales suelo y agua, que expresan un proceso hacia la sustentabilidad. Aplicando el enfoque agroecológico, se compararon diferentes...

Six of New Zealand&amp;#8217;s 16 regional councils are trialling collaborative planning as a means of addressing complex challenges in freshwater management. Although some work has been undertaken to evaluate similarities and differences across those processes, the success or failure rests with the public&amp;#8217;s acceptance of the processes and their outcomes. This is the first study to evaluate public perceptions of freshwater management in regions with collaborative processes.  We surveyed 450 respondents in Hawke&amp;#8217;s Bay, Northland, and Waikato, some of whom live in catchments in which collaborative processes are under way and some of whom do not. In addition to assessing awareness of the collaborative planning processes, the survey...

Robustness and Resilience across Scales: Migration and Resource Degradation in the Prehistoric U.S. Southwest
Provedor de dados: 7

Migration is arguably one of the most important processes that link ecological and social systems across scales. Humans (and other organisms) tend to move in pursuit of better resources (both social and environmental). Such mobility may serve as a coping mechanism for short-term local-scale dilemmas and as a means of distributing organisms in relation to resources. Movement also may be viewed as a shift to a larger scale; that is, while it may solve short-term local problems, it may simultaneously have longer term and larger scale consequences. We conduct a quantitative analysis using dynamic modeling motivated by an archaeological case study to explore the dynamics that arise when population movement serves as a link between spatial scales. We use the...

Citizens have long contributed to scientific research about the environment through volunteer environmental monitoring programs. Their participation has also resulted in outcomes for themselves, their communities, and the environment. This research synthesizes 35 peer-reviewed journal articles that reported such outcomes through 2012. This collection of articles was derived from a pool of 436 peer-reviewed journal articles about participatory environmental monitoring. Reported outcomes for participants and communities ranged from increasing personal knowledge and community awareness to changing attitudes and behaviors, building social capital, and ultimately, influencing change in natural resource management and policies. Mixed results were reported in...

Power Asymmetries in Small-Scale Fisheries: a Barrier to Governance Transformability?
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Crona, Beatrice; Stockholm Resilience Center, Stockholm University, Sweden; beatrice.crona@stockholmresilience.su.se.
Both global and local environmental problems call for the transformation of many contemporary and unsustainable governance approaches. Therefore, recent interest has sprung up around factors that facilitate and hinder societies from transforming governance of natural resources. Using a social-network approach, we study links between informal power structures and knowledge sharing and consensus building. We examine how this interaction may have affected the (in)ability of a community to move from open-access to some form of collective action for resource management. Individuals occupying central positions in a knowledge network can be instrumental in determining which knowledge and interpretation of ecological signals is most dominant. If the same...

Applied research in complex integrated settings should be recognized as an endeavor that requires transdisciplinary and multisectoral stakeholder interactions. The problems faced in society are quite complex, requiring participation and knowledge from diverse aspects of society, including different disciplines (academia), communities, civil society, and government. Successful applied research relies on nurturing these key stakeholder relationships and interactions.  This paper explores the key challenges of stakeholder interaction in applied research in three disciplines in the South African context, based on literature and the experience of authors in their disciplines. The three disciplines include information and communication technology for...

We review characteristics of birds in boreal forests in the context of their ecological sustainability under both natural and anthropogenic disturbances. We identify the underlying ecological factors associated with boreal bird populations and their variability, review the interactions between boreal bird populations and disturbance, and describe some tools on how boreal bird populations may be conserved in the future. The boreal system has historically been an area with extensive disturbance such as fire, insect outbreaks, and wind. In addition, the boreal system is vulnerable to global climate change as well as increasing pressure on forest and water resources. Current knowledge indicates that birds play an important role in boreal forests, and...

Assessing the Impact of Integrated Natural Resource Management: Challenges and Experiences
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: White, Douglas C; Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical;.
Assessing the impact of integrated natural resource management (INRM) research poses a challenge to scientists. The complexity of INRM interventions requires a more holistic approach to impact assessment, beyond the plot and farm levels and beyond traditional analysis of economic returns. Impact assessment for INRM combines the traditional "what" and "where" factors of economic and environmental priorities with newer "who" and "how" aspects of social actors and institutions. This paper presents an analytical framework and methodology for assessing the impact of INRM. A key feature of the proposed methodology is that it starts with a detailed planning process that develops a well-defined, shared, and holistic strategy to achieve development impact. This...

Underuse of nonindustrial private forests in developed countries has been interpreted mostly as a consequence of the prevailing noncommodity objectives of their owners. Recent empirical studies have indicated a correlation between the harvesting behavior of forest owners and the specific conceptualization of appropriate forest management described as &amp;#8220;nonintervention&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;hands-off&amp;#8221; management. We aimed to fill the huge gap in knowledge of social representations of forest management in Europe and are the first to be so rigorous in eliciting forest owner representations in Europe. We conducted 3099 telephone interviews with randomly selected forest owners in Slovenia, asking them whether they thought they managed...

The Capacity of Property Rights to Accommodate Social-Ecological Resilience
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Barnes, Richard A; University of Hull; r.a.barnes@hull.ac.uk.
Here, I consider how social-ecological resilience can be facilitated by the use of property rights. Taking a legal perspective on the use of different forms of property, I consider how property rules can manifest the attributes of flexibility, responsiveness, optionality, and scalability associated with resilient systems. I note how different regulatory regimes such as domestic law and international law have differing capacities to accommodate property rights, and this in turn affects the capability of property to sustain resilience. The fluid nature of resilience and property systems defies simple conclusions about the influence of property rights on resilience. However, it is possible to make some general observations on how well-suited archetype forms...

ABSTRACT: Freshwater is a valuable resource worldwide given the growing demand of the global population. This study aimed to develop and validate an integrated assessment model by means of environmental footprint indices (water, ecological, and carbon), which measure the environmental sustainability of heterogeneous communities, people, and countries. An environmental footprint was firstly defined as a set of indicators to track human pressure on planet Earth under different angles, being a multidimensional index of environmental sustainability. A Delphi survey was used to bring together opinions from a diverse set of experts. The participants of this study consisted of 120 experts from several fields of knowledge belonging to the best-known research and...

A produção de energia elétrica sustentável por meio da instalação das torres eólicas, no município de Casa Nova, BA, a exemplo de outras localidades, é uma realidade e, se por um lado produz uma energia limpa, por outro lado, necessita construir estradas vicinais cascalhadas, objetivando o transporte das referidas torres, que são constituídas por peças longas e bastante pesadas, que por sua vez exigem caminhões de grande porte. Para a pavimentação foram utilizadas seis jazidas prospectadas, aleatoriamente, dentro da área dos parques no município, que resultaram na retirada de toda avegetação de uma área total de 16,5 hectares, com exceção das espécies ameaçadas de extinção a exemplo do umbuzeiro (Spondias tuberosa Arr.),baraúna (Schinopsis brasiliensis) e...

Produção de gado de corte é a principal atividade econômica na planície pantaneira, maior área úmida de água doce do mundo. Apesar da produção de gado de corte ser desenvolvida na região há quase 250 anos, o Pantanal é considerado o bioma mais conservado do Brasil, com a maior porcentagem de cobertura de vegetação nativa, sendo que 95% da região é ocupada por fazendas particulares (ABREU et al., 2010). A pecuária bovina de corte no Pantanal é desenvolvida em criatórios naturais extensivos com características de manejo pautadas pelo regime de enchentes (POTT et al., 1989). No Pantanal, os produtores se concentram na atividade de cria, havendo recria apenas das novilhas de reposição (ABREU et. al., 2008). Os principais produtos do sistema de produção de...

Autores: LOPES, M. A.
Nenhum país bate o Brasil no quesito riquezas naturais. É por isso que o desenvolvimento do Brasil no futuro poderá ser impactado por nossa capacidade de transformar esse manancial em resposta aos riscos à frente e em mais progresso para a sociedade. Embora complexa, a discussão é muito importante, pois nosso planeta tem tamanho limitado.

O avanço tecnológico é parceiro da ciência e, também, da fotografia. Na ciência, são impressionantes os avanços obtidos, nos últimos anos, com a revolução das tecnologias da informação, metodologias científicas e analíticas. Na arte da fotografia, avanços também foram obtidos com as máquinas digitais, lentes capazes de captar imagens com alta nitidez, cartões de memória de alta capacidade e flashes potentes e precisos. Mas, por mais modernos que sejam os equipamentos utilizados na ciência e na fotografia, nada substitui o talento, a criatividade e a vocação do cientista e do fotógrafo. Podemos dizer que a fotografia também é uma ciência. Cartier-Bresson, que se vivo fosse teria completado 100 anos em 2008, dizia que é um ato que requer concentração,...

O Quadrilátero Ferrífero é uma região de grande diversidade ambiental, com forte aptidão à exploração mineral que impera desde os tempos coloniais e se mantém até hoje. Em consequência, os estudos direcionados para esse fim foram protagonizados, sendo menos comuns aqueles direcionados aos solos. O presente trabalho objetiva caracterizar os solos, avaliar as suas causas de variação na paisagem e sua relação com os principais componentes ambientais (relevo, geologia e vegetação) de três locais representativos dessa região. Os locais de estudo estão situados nos municípios mineiros de Sabará, Novo Lima e Brumadinho em minas de minério de ferro ativas (Mina Miguelão em Nova Lima e Córrego do Feijão em Brumadinho) ou desativadas (Mina Córrego do Meio, Sabará)....

Le risque sanitaire ciguatérique en Polynésie française : étude des représentations sociales auprès de la population tahitienne
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Tchekemian, Anthony.
This social science study focuses on the risk from ciguatera that is affecting the Polynesians' health. Compared to the global population exposure to ciguatera health risks, the situation of French Polynesia is particularly worrisome, in view of the number of people poisoned each year. Exposure to this risk depends directly on the marine ecosystem, but also on lifestyles and individual responsibilities. This study focuses on the Tahitians' representations of the ciguatera risk, that is, their knowledge, awareness, and acceptance of the health risk resulting from the consumption of fish likely to be infected. It provides a better understanding of the cultural, social, and economic factors that explain and justify the consumption of potentially at-risk fish.

Modelling the emergence of resource-sharing conventions: an agent-based approach
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Thebaud, Olivier; Locatelli, Bruno.
This paper presents an agent-based simulation framework for the analysis of the emergence of resource-sharing conventions. The model is based on Sugden's article entitled "Spontaneous order", which looks at the conditions under which conventions regarding access to a natural resource become established. The aim of the model is to explore the potential of agent-based modelling for the analysis of these questions. First, the structure of a simulation model based on the example of driftwood collection used by Sugden is presented. Second, simulations of various scenarios about the behavioural rules followed by agents are described, and simulation results are presented. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the advantages of agent-based models for...

Livelihood strategies of rural households in Caprivi: Implications for conservancies and natural resource management
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: LaFranchi, C.; Ashley, C.
This paper examines how rural Caprivians secure their livelihoods, in order to understand how wildlife and other community based natural resource management (CBNRM) initiatives can "fit in" to current activities and the rural economy. The livelihoods and priorities of different types of households are assessed, and the many positive and negative impacts of CBNRM initiatives identified. The aim is to understand wildlife and CBNRM from householders' perspectives, and recommend how conservancies, and other natural resource management initiatives can be implemented in ways that maximise the positive impacts to rural livelihoods and minimise the negative impacts. The paper first considers the wide range of resource uses and livelihood strategies employed by...

Autores: Blackie, R.
This paper provides an overview of how policy and legislation is changing regarding local management of natural resources in Namibia. It also briefly examines what might be the implications of this and the links to what is occurring in other related areas. First, it looks at why this is an important issue. The paper then looks at why community level control is more effective for many resources than at a lower level (family) or higher level (regional or national). Policies on water, woodlands, wildlife, inland fisheries and land are also examined and compared. The paper concludes that the present sectoral policies and legislation provide opportunities for experimentation, but also problems of duplication, contradictions and overlaps. Lastly, it looks at the...

Degradation of the riparian wetlands in the Lake Victoria basin - Yala swamp case study
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Thenya, Thuita; Wassmann, Reiner; Verchot, Louis; Mungai, David.
Land degradation is as a result of broad range of scales and factors, which include biophysical, climatic, demographic and socio-economic. The aim of this paper was to provide an analysis of wetland utilisation, ecosystem degradation and their effect on the Lake Victoria (Kenya) ecosystem. This involved analysis of socioeconomic and remote sensed data. The main sources of wetland degradation in the Lake Victoria basin were identified as (1) farming activities, (2) grazing and macrophyte harvesting and (3) coupled with catchment degradation-deforestation. These factors were closely related to the demographic dynamics and unsustainable land utilisation practices. Socio-economic data provided valuable insight on the pattern of wetland utilisation and possible...

The Roles of the Environment and Natural Resources in Economic Growth Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Toman,   Michael.
The primary aim of this paper is pedagogical. We first present and discuss a "wiring diagram" framework in order to elucidate the general links between economic growth and "natural capital." After developing the general framework, we develop parallel frameworks applicable to several specific sectors of the economy (agriculture, forestry, and manufacturing). Two appendices provide a mathematical formulation of the economy-wide framework and a brief historical review of the role of natural resources and the environment in economic growth theory.

Autores: Freire,   Adriana Galvao; Ribeiro,   Eduardo Magalhaes.
Most studies developed about agrarian societies usually refer to rural space as private space. Nevertheless the concept of “rural property” can raise a host of distinct interpretations, especially when one brings into analysis the interaction among populations and natural resources. This present piece of work aims at going deeper into the establishment of the environmental typology built by family-related agriculturists of two rural communities from Turmalina, MG, and the diversification of use given to each of these environments by their inhabitants. Arrangements on the use and the management of collective resources may come to contributing with the formatting of new projects which seek to promoting the country’s environmental planning, plus allowing for...

Conservation Value
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
This paper outlines the significance of the concept of conservation value and discusses ways in which it is determined paying attention to views stemming from utilitarian ethics and from deontological ethics. The importance of user costs in relation to economic decisions about the conservation and use of natural resources is emphasised. Particular attention is given to competing views about the importance of conserving natural resources in order to achieve economic sustainability. This then lends to a discussion of the value of conserving natural resources in order to meet the moral obligations of present generations to future generations. Anthropogenic views of the value of conserving natural resources (for example, derived from utilitarian ethics) are...

The Relationship between Natural Resources and Population Development in Liaocheng City
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lu,   Ya-kun; Liu,   Jia-zhen; Chen,   Yong-jin; Xu,   Jing.
According to the relevant data about the land resources and population in Liaocheng City from 1999 to 2008, by using the research method of bearing capacity of natural resources, the thesis analyzes the relationship between natural resources and dynamic change of population in Liaocheng City. The results show that the farmland tends to diminish on the whole, and forests, garden land, urban-rural settlements and land for enterprises and mining increase slowly. Based on the analysis of the dynamic relationship between land resources and population, we conclude that the land resources still can bear the current population in Liaocheng City, but the population development   inflict critical pressure on the forest resources and water resources.

Productivity Trends in the Natural Resource Industries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Parry,   Ian W.H.
This paper examines multi-factor productivity trends in the U.S. petroleum, coal, copper and logging industries since 1970. Measures of multi-factor productivity growth are negative for all four industries during the 1970's. At the time this led to fears that stocks of natural resources were being exhausted, and this might hinder future economic growth. However in retrospect the 1970's look like an exceptional period, rather than marking a change in long run productivity trends. The decline in measured multi-factor productivity in that decade appear to be explained by a number of special factors that generally have a transitory rather than a permanent effect on productivity growth. For example, the rise in natural resource prices encouraged the entry of...

The Rio Grande has headwaters in Colorado, flows through New Mexico, and serves as the United States.–Mexico border in Texas, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. Snow melt in Colorado and northern New Mexico constitutes the water river supply for New Mexico and the El Paso region, whereas summer monsoonal flow from the Rio Conchos in Mexico and tributaries, including the Pecos River, provides the Rio Grande flow for southern Texas. The region is mostly semiarid with frequent long-term drought periods but is also characterized by a substantial irrigated agriculture sector and a rapidly growing population. International treaties and interstate compacts provide the rules for allocation of Rio Grande waters between the United States and Mexico and among...

FORECASTING FUTURE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOOD, AGRICULTURE, AND NATURAL RESOURCES HIGHER EDUCATION GRADUATES USING ADJUSTED BUREAU OF LABOR FORECASTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bullock,   K. Wayne; Litzenberg,   Kerry K.
Forecasts of the number of future professionals required for an ongoing safe, efficient US food system are highly important. The demand for adequately prepared higher education graduates must be met by the US Food, Agriculture, and Natural Resources Education System. Without accurate forecasts of the human resource needs of the food sector of the economy, adequate professionals may not be available when needed. This research effort makes use of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) forecasted employment opportunities. The estimation of professionals required in the food and agriculture sectors of the economy is developed by selecting and manipulating data from the BLS model that is relevant to food and agriculture careers. These forecasts of needed...

Impact of Natural Resource Conservation Policies on Household Consumption Around Zambian National Parks

Autores: Tembo,   Gelson; Bandyopadhyay,   Sushenjit; Pavy,   Jean-Michel.
Key Policy Points - Game Management Areas (GMAs) in Zambia aim to combine nature conservation with economic empowerment of rural households and communities. - We find evidence of consumption gains from living in GMAs and from participating in natural resource management through Community-Resource Boards (CRBs) and Village Action Groups (VAGs). - However, these benefits are unevenly distributed. Only GMAs with limited alternative livelihoods (Bangweulu and South Luangwa) exhibit significant consumption benefits. Also, the benefits accrue mainly to the relatively well off while the poor do not gain even if they participate. - Resources from ZAWA to CRBs seldom reach the VAGs. Richer, more educated community members participate at CRB or higher level while...

The voracious appetites of public versus private property: a view of intellectual property and biodiversity from legal pluralism
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wiber,   Melanie G.
In an opening vignette to an otherwise insightful article, Carol M. Rose (2003) compares people who hold intellectual property rights to poor villagers in India. They put effort and time into developing small but productive properties, only to have the wild tiger or rogue elephant of the public domain trample them or eat them up. In extreme cases, IP "villages" are abandoned and left to "the jungle" of public property. But Rose neglects another part of the story, and that is that the villagers are also hungry, and while they do not directly consume tigers, they do consume the environment a tiger needs to survive. This paper argues, from the perspective of legal pluralism, that both private and public properties are voracious. In recent western...

This paper traces the evolution of space-derived remote sensing data and data products from their initial dissemination to their impact on public policy related to climate change. We focus on the examples of renewable energy, public health, and ecosystem assessment. Our approach differs from previous studies that have characterized the value of data in terms of the fundamental scientific phenomena they describe. In our research we have sought to identify contributions of space-derived earth science in "making a difference" beyond scientific understanding, thereby providing at least a partial answer to questions about the utility of research posed by Congress, the Office of Management and Budget, managers at the National Aeronautics and Space...

Biting the Bullet : How to Secure Access to Drylands Resources for Multiple Users
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mwangi,   Esther; Dohrn,   Stephan.
Close to one billion people worldwide depend directly upon the drylands for their livelihoods. Because of their climatic conditions and political and economic marginalization drylands also have some of the highest incidents of poverty. Pastoral and sedentary production systems coexist in these areas and both very often use common property arrangements to manage access and use of natural resources. Despite their history of complementary interactions, pastoralists and sedentary farmers are increasingly faced with conflicting claims over land and other natural resources. Past policy interventions and existing regulatory frameworks have not been able to offer lasting solutions to the problems related to land tenure and resource access; problems between the...

Catch-Quota Balancing in Multispecies Individual Fishing Quotas
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sanchirico,   James N.; Holland,   Daniel S.; Quigley,   Kathryn; Fina,   Mark.
Individual fishery quotas (IFQs) are an increasingly prevalent form of fishery management around the world, with more than 170 species currently managed with IFQs. Yet, because of the difficulties in matching quota holdings with catches, many argue that IFQs are not appropriate for multispecies fisheries. Using on-the-ground-experience with multispecies IFQ fisheries in Iceland, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada, we assess the design and use of catch-quota balancing mechanisms. Our methodology includes a mix of interviews with fishery managers, industry representatives, and brokers, literature review, and data analysis. We find that a combination of incentives and limits on use rates for the mechanisms provide sufficient flexibility to the quota owner...

LIBERAL CONTRACTS, RELATIONAL CONTRACTS AND COMMON PROPERTY: AFRICA AND THE UNITED STATES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tabachnick,   David.
The core thesis is that Western neoclassical economics and law (particularly Anglo-American) have a peculiar cultural history that biases Western-trained economists and lawyers against common property systems like those found among Africans and American Indians. This Western cultural bias is expressed through the recurrent focus on individuals as atomistic and independent of each other in contract and property law, as well as in economic theory. The bias derives in part from the historical suppression of community property rights that once overlapped individual property rights, as in the case of the enclosure of the commons in England. Well-meaning Western advisors may depart for foreign communities that possess common property systems and year after year,...

Valuation of Tourism's Natural Resources
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
Discusses the implications of the economic valuation of natural resources used for tourism and relates this valuation to the concept of total economic valuation.  It demonstrates how applications of the concept of total economic valuation can be supportive of the conservation of natural resources used for tourism.  Techniques for valuing tourism’s natural resources are then outlined and critically evaluated.  Consideration is given to travel cost methods, contingent valuation methods, and hedonic pricing approaches before concentrating on current developments of valuation techniques, such as choice modelling.  The general limitations of existing methods are considered and it is argued that more attention should be given to developing guidelines that will...

Autores: Nkendah,   Robert.
In order to fall under a prospect for sustainable management of the natural resources in Cameroon, this communication tries, using a 1996 survey carried out from 400 households in the towns of Yaounde, Mbalmayo and Ebolowa, to understand the demand behaviours of the urban households, with respect to the various sources of energy. The work aims to highlight the place of the firewood like source of energy. The results obtained confirm the important place of the firewood in its various forms like source of energy in urban areas and thus indicating a threat on the future of the natural resources, in particular forest, in Cameroon. The income-elasticity analysis showed that, contrary to "modern" fuels that are the oil and the gas which are normal goods, the...

Adjusting prices for volume: a test of the Hotelling valuation principle
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Berck,   Peter.
This paper tests the hypothesis that the net of extraction cost price of a natural resource does not change with volume. The hypothesis is shown to he a consequence of Hotelling’s theory. The tests are performed on equations estimated by a nonparametric regression (ACE), and we show that the usual least squares estimation techniques are not general enough to successfully perform the test. The test rejects the pure form of the Hotelling theory and shows that it is  necessary to adjust sale prices for volume sold.

Price or politics? An investigation of the causes of expropriation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Duncan,   Roderick.
Expropriations of foreign direct investment in developing countries are typically blamed on political and economic crises in those countries. Developing a new database of expropriations in the minerals sectors of developing country exporters, I show that expropriations were correlated with mineral price booms and that democratic governments were more likely to expropriate. No link is found between expropriations and political or economic crises, except at independence. A better explanation of expropriation would be opportunistic behaviour by host governments when profits of investments are high. In two developed countries, Australia and Canada, expropriations are also found to occur during price booms.

Natural resource prices: will they ever turn up?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Berck,   Peter; Roberts,   Michael J.
Hotelling's theory predicts that natural resource rents should increase over time. However, technical progress in resource extraction, environmental constraints, or great natural abundance could result in stagnant or declining product prices. Thus, there is no theoretical reason to believe that product prices will rise in the near future. The prediction of product prices by time-series methods is shown to depend critically upon whether the series are modeled as differenced or trend stationary. Dickey-Fuller and Lagrange Multiplier tests are used to show that the series are differenced stationary. Long- and short-sample series are tested. Trend-stationary modeling strongly predicts rising resource prices. The result from differenced-stationary modeling is...

Unprotected Resources and Voracious World Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Margolis,   Michael; Shogren,   Jason F.
The Theory of the Second Best implies that any country with less-than-ideal resources can lose from international trade. Recently it has been suggested this means the South (poor countries) are better off suppressing trade with the North, especially trade in natural resource products, since the North has better developed rights to protect its natural resources. Here we show that the suppression of such trade may also impede the development of property rights in the South, but that even taking this into account, trade liberalization need not improve Southern welfare. We find that within a cone of world prices on the boundary of which lies the South's autarky price vector, welfare losses still occur even when local governments in the South make optimal...

South Korea Agriculture Policy Review
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gurung,   Rajendra Kumar; Pa,   Chung; Deng,   Hugh.
South Korea is a highly urbanized and industrialized country. Increased urbanization and greater specialization have led to rising incomes, and changes in food production and consumption patterns. Changes in consumption and increased production specialization have also resulted in changes in trading patterns, with South Korea emerging as a leading importer of agri-food products.  South Korea places great importance on self-sufficiency in food staples, and achieving income parity between rural and urban households. To attain these goals, considerable support has been provided to its agriculture sector. South Korea's policy support to the agriculture sector ranks among the worlds' highest. Small holdings still persist, entry into the sector is difficult, and...

Towards an Analytical Framework for Assessing Property Rights to Natural Resources: A Case Study in the Communal Areas of Zimbabwe
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kundhlande,   Godfrey; Luckert,   Martin K.
A taxonomy for describing property rights to natural resources is described and applied in a Zimbabwean case study. The taxonomy allows: tenures to be systematically compared and contrasted; incentives for natural resource management to be identified; and the evolution of tenure to natural resources to be assessed. In the case study, we find: key differences between tenure types, all termed "communal"; a wide range of tenure arrangements that transcend concepts of "tree" and "land tenure"; information suggesting that the promotion of tree planting may work on some tenure types, but is likely to fail on others; and that the evolution of indigenous tenure to natural resources seems to have been somewhat immune from external changes in institutional systems....

Autores: Weingart,   Anne; Kirk,   Michael.
This paper introduces and applies an analytical framework to study how formal and informal institutions influence socio–economic change and poverty reduction in rural Cambodia, giving specific reference to property rights and collective action. It focuses on emerging endogenous mechanisms of cooperation as well as on the role of external actors and instruments in forming or enhancing collective action institutions, and enforcing use and ownership rights among the rural poor. Within this framework key contextual factor, such as asset endowments, legal structures, and power relations, have an impact on poverty and rural livelihoods, but are also mediated and changed by property right regimes and local cooperation. Findings indicate that access to and use of...

Changes in the relationship between society and nature in the Mezzo-region of Southeastern Pará, Amazon, Brazil
Provedor de dados: 36
Autores: Monteiro,Maurilio de Abreu; Coelho,Maria Célia Nunes; Silva,Regiane Paracampos da.
With this work, the authors wish to show some of the alterations in the pattern of relations between society and nature, which have taken place throughout the 20th century in the Parauapebas and Itacaiúnas river valleys, as well as in parts of the Tocantins River valley, in southeastern Pará. This is accomplished through descriptions based on Coudreau's first-hand accounts (1889), transcribed in "Voyage a Itaboca et a L'Itacayuna", published in 1897, which depicts an area almost totally covered by forest. This is followed by a counter view made possible through the LandSat 5 satellite sensors, with images of those valleys in 2001, showing the consequences of society transformations and pressure on natural resources, and above all the dramatic decrease in...

The long-term exploitation of natural resources by agricultural activities has resulted in the need for alternative measures to restore degraded soil. The cultivation of cover crops can generate great benefits for agricultural systems, enabling the exploitation of natural resources, including water, light and nutrients, as well as the recovery of degraded soils. This work aimed to assess the coverage rate, fresh mass and dry mass of cover crops from fall and winter as well as the floristic composition of the weeds. The work was conducted in field conditions in soil classified as eutroferric Red Oxisol in the region of the city of Palotina, Paraná State, Brazil, using a random block experimental design with four replications.

Abstract: To understand the increasingly tenuous relationship between ourselves and the finite resource base upon which we depend for all sustenance, an exploration of recent history and basic human behavior is warranted. An attempt is made to shed light on how short-term economic demands have come to take priority over nearly all other long-term aspects of our existence. Without full recognition of our historical and cultural trajectories in relation to the modern mass mentality of materialism, consumerism and wealth, there is little possibility to develop or implement truly functional strategies that can be utilized indefinitely.

Phytostabilization of massive mine wastes with native phytogenetic resources: potential for sustainable use and conservation of the native flora in north-central Chile
Provedor de dados: 118
Autores: Orchard,Cristina; León-Lobos,Pedro; Ginocchio,Rosanna.
The mining industry has left an important legacy of inadequately abandoned tailing storage facilities (TSFs) in the north-central area of Chile, and they may pose environmental risks. The Chilean government has recently established new regulations governing the closure of TSFs, and these regulations favor the use of environmentally sustainable technologies. Among these technologies is phytostabilization, which can use native plant species that may also have economic and/or subsistence value. Phytostabilization programs based on sustainably maintained native species could also contribute to the conservation of both local flora and regional ecosystems in north-central Chile. The main objective of this study was to use the Coquimbo region as a case study area...
