Última Can Good Projects Succeed in Bad Villages? Project Design, Village Governance and Infrastructure Quality in Rural China AgEcon Liu, Chengfang; Zhang, Linxiu; Huang, Jikun; Luo, Renfu; Rozelle, Scott. This study seeks to explain the differences in infrastructure quality across China’s villages. Using primary data on three main types of infrastructure projects in rural China, we find that a.) between-project within-village quality differences are small and project design has little explanatory power; b.) between-village variations are larger; and c.) there are strong correlations between the ways villages govern themselves and project quality. We conclude that it is difficult to make good projects work in bad communities and that there is something at the village level that is making some projects succeed in some villages, but not in others.

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/49944 Control of Newcastle Disease in Village Chickens AgEcon Centre for International Economics. Between 1983 and 1992, the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) invested A$3 million in research to find a vaccine that could provide protection from Newcastle disease in chickens and be applied in village environments in developing countries. A further $160 000 was invested in follow up projects which ended in 1996. Village chickens often provide the only source of protein to poor villagers living in remote areas and Newcastle disease frequently devastates unvaccinated village flocks. The ACIAR-sponsored research was highly successful in developing a heat resistant vaccine (HRV4) which could be readily used in the field by coating it onto chicken feed. The vaccine was commercialised by an Australian company which subsequently...

Ano: 1998 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/47190 The Measuring and Impacting Factors Analysis of Rural Straw Yield — Based on the perspective of constructing low-carbon agricultural economy AgEcon Yang, Li-sha. On the basis of expounding the status quo and using developmental trend of China’s straw, 4 indices are selected: straw yield, planting area, using amount of fertilizer and effective irrigation area. According to the relevant data of China Statistical Yearbook from 1991 to 2008, by using linear regression model, we calculate China’s rural straw yield, analyze the factors impacting straw yield, and point out that the using amount of fertilizer is the important factor impacting straw yield. Based on these, in the perspective of low-carbon agricultural economy, we put forward suggestions of using straw comprehensively from 4 perspectives in order to provide theoretical reference for decision-makers: improve fertilizer dependence; develop straw reuse...

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/108472 Traditional Knowledge Systems and the Conservation of Cross River Gorillas: a Case Study of Bechati, Fossimondi, Besali, Cameroon Ecology and Society Etiendem, Denis Ndeloh; PhD Candidate, Human Ecology Department, Vrije Universiteit Brussels; nndeloh@gmail.com; Hens, Luc; Vlaamse instelling voor Technologish Onderzoek NV (VITO); luchens51@gmail.com; Pereboom, Zjef; Centre for Research and Conservation, Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp; Zjef.Pereboom@kmda.org. Traditional beliefs associated with the Cross River gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) in Lebialem Division, Cameroon, were studied to establish the usefulness of incorporating these local belief systems into the conservation strategy for this critically endangered species. A survey was conducted in 2007 in five villages to assess local perceptions of human–gorilla totemic kinship practices and taboos against hunting and against eating of gorillas. Villages were selected based on their proximity to Cross River gorilla (CRG) habitat, with a total of 184 interviewer-administered questionnaires completed during a 4-week period. Eighty-six percent of people agreed that gorillas were totems (personal spiritual helpers or counterparts) of people living...
