Understanding cultural dimensions of human/environment relationships is now widely seen as key to effective management, yet characterizing these dimensions remains a challenge. We report on an approach for considering the nonmaterial values associated with ecosystems, i.e., cultural ecosystem services. We applied the approach in Kona, Hawai‘i, using 30 semistructured interviews and 205 in-person surveys, striving to balance pragmatism and depth. We found spirituality, heritage, and identity-related values to be particularly salient, with expression of some of these values varying among respondents by ethnicity and duration of residence in Hawai‘i. Although people of various backgrounds reported strong spirituality and heritage-related... |

Parcelization and forest fragmentation are of concern for ecological, economic, and social reasons. Efforts to keep large, private forests intact may be supported by a decision-making process that incorporates landowners’ objectives and uncertainty. We used structured decision making (SDM) with owners of large, private forests in Macon County, North Carolina. Macon County has little land use regulation and a history of discordant, ineffective attempts to address land use and development. We worked with landowners to define their objectives, identify decision options for forest management, build a Bayesian decision network to predict the outcomes of decisions, and determine the optimal and least-desirable decision options. The optimal forest... |

A problemática em torno da continuidade da agricultura familiar, expressa pela sucessão ou falta de sucessão do agricultor, reflete-se no encaminhamento da herança. É a permanência de pelo menos um dos filhos e a vontade de herdar o patrimônio familiar que garante a continuidade dos estabelecimentos. Estudos recentes mostram a falta de desejo dos filhos em suceder seus pais, especialmente às filhas. Assim, muitos estabelecimentos poderão não ter sucessor e conseqüentemente, inviabilizar a continuidade do mesmo, pois os pais não terão para quem deixar suas terras. Nesse sentido, é necessário entender como os agricultores estão procedendo o encaminhamento da herança, diante da possibilidade de ter ou não sucessores. Para tanto, alguns questionamentos guiam a... |
