Uso y manejo de plantas ornamentales y medicinales en espacios urbanos, suburbanos y rurales de la zona centro de Veracruz, México.
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Mendoza-García, Rafaela.
En México los huertos y jardines pueden ser clasificados como agroecosistemas por la intervención humana en su manejo, el alto grado de biodiversidad y los usos antropocéntricos que tiene son semejante a ecosistemas naturales por conservar muchas especies. El acelerado desarrollo urbano no planificado ha restado gradualmente la superficie de áreas verdes y espacios para la producción de alimentos. Por ello, esta investigación planteó el objetivo de analizar el uso y manejo de plantas ornamentales y medicinales así como la percepción del público en jardines en zonas urbanas, suburbanas y rurales de la zona centro del Estado de Veracruz. Bajo la hipótesis de que existe un mayor conocimiento local de las plantas ornamentales y medicinales, diversidad vegetal...

La construcción social de la identidad de los campesinos: Unión Ejidal Tierra y Libertad, y San José Atotonilco.
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Vázquez García, Adriana.
Ante la deshumanización de la actividad agrícola, el estudio de la identidad del campesino no ha sido tema de interés, provocado un desconocimiento en esta área. Es indispensable el reconocimiento del sujeto como objeto de estudio, afín de que éste se identifique a partir de sus propias narraciones o discursos. El propósito de esta investigación es determinar cómo construyen socialmente su identidad -desde su propia perspectiva- los campesinos de las localidades: “Unión Ejidal Tierra y Libertad”, y “San José Atotonilco”,  pertenecientes al Municipio de Tlaxco, Tlaxcala. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas de historias de vida a campesinos originarios de cada lugar. Estas entrevistas  muestran cómo es que las personas se describen a partir de sus propios...

Autores: Galindo de Jesús, Gerardo.
En la Cuenca del Río Tlapaneco la contaminación del agua es un problema creciente. Esta contaminación afecta negativamente la producción agrícola y pecuaria, así como otros servicios utilizados por la población local como la pesca y la recreación. En este estudio se tuvo como objetivo evaluar qué tanto percibe la población local la contaminación del río como un problema para su bienestar, así como el conocer cuál es su disposición a pagar para desarrollar proyectos que mejoren la calidad del agua del río. Debido a que en los estudios de valoración de bienes y servicios ambientales se requiere crear, temporal o hipotéticamente, un mercado para simular su transacción, debido a la inexistencia de un mercado real, en este estudio se utilizó el método de...

El programa de pago de servicio ambiental hidrológico (PSAH) como una estrategia de conservación de recursos naturales y sensibilización ambiental de la región Izta-Popo
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Martínez Cruz, Diego Armando.
Los bosques de la región Izta-Popo del estado de Puebla son importantes para mantener los procesos del ciclo hidrológico, del cual depende el abastecimiento de agua para las comunidades locales y para la ciudad de Puebla. Para evitar la pérdida y deterioro de estos bosques en la región, la Comisión Nacional Forestal (CONAFOR) ha ejecutado desde hace 5 años el programa de Pago por Servicios Hidrológicos (PSAH). Si se toma en cuenta que el éxito de cualquier estrategia de conservación depende en gran medida de su aprobación por parte de las comunidades poseedoras de los recursos, el conocer la percepción y actitudes respecto a temas de conservación dará elementos para revisar la pertinencia, limitaciones y efectos positivos del programa en la región. En este...

Evaluación de biofertilizantes y factores para su innovación con productores de maíz en San Felipe Teotlalcingo, Puebla.
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Zagoya Martínez, Joaquín.
El abuso de tecnologías en la agricultura convencional (fertilizantes químicos, herbicidas, insecticidas, fungicidas), ha provocado daños en el medio ambiente y los recursos naturales, generando crisis ecológica y social, afectando en mayor medida a los pequeños agricultores. El uso de fertilizantes sintéticos en la agricultura ha sido la fuente principal de nutrientes para las plantas, sin embargo es importante buscar alternativas más sustentables en la nutrición de cultivos. Una opción viable son los biofertilizantes. El presente trabajo se realizó en el municipio de San Felipe Teotlalcingo, estado de Puebla, donde se evaluó los rendimientos y costos de producción de los biofertilizantes de preparación local, aplicados al cultivo de maíz, así como los...

El propósito fundamental  del presente trabajo fue la de adentrarse, en la medida de lo posible, a la interpretación que campesinos de  cuatro comunidades consideradas como de Alta Marginación en Atzizihuacan, Puebla hacen sobre  los procesos de desarrollo propios de su región. Intentando a través de  la identificación de las atribuciones hechas, determinar  qué tan capaces se visualizan a ellos mismos como promotores de procesos de desarrollo endógeno en sus comunidades. La mayoría de las atribuciones hechas por los campesinos mostraron un Locus de Control externo tal como se esperaba. Lo anterior explica en parte los estados de desesperanza que se evidencian en las respuestas. La utilidad de este trabajo reside en la información que los campesinos...

In recent years, few if any community conserved areas (CCAs) in the Pacific island region have been regarded as being successful. However, as success is rarely defined, what constitutes &amp;#8220;success&amp;#8221; is not clear. This paper reports an investigation into the way &amp;#8220;outsiders&amp;#8221; perceive success in Pacific island CCAs. An exploratory survey revealed six umbrella themes of success: the locus of control; local benefits; resource aspects; management; external stakeholder involvement; and sustainability. Multivariate analysis distinguished two groups, a Big picture group and a Locally focused group. These differ in how they define success, as well as their organizational alignment. The Big picture group, largely from funder...

Human-wildlife conflicts are a global problem, and are occurring in many countries where human and wildlife requirements overlap. Conflicts are particularly common near protected areas where societal unrest is large. To ease conflict, integrated conservation and development projects (ICDPs) have been implemented. The Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE) is an example of an ICDP. We hypothesized that (i) a higher perceived effectiveness of CAMPFIRE would be associated with a decline in human-wildlife conflicts, and (ii) local communities with higher perceived effectiveness of CAMPFIRE programs would have more favorable attitudes towards problematic wild animals. Four focus group discussions and interviews with 236...

Indigenous Arctic and Subarctic communities currently are facing a myriad of social and environmental changes. In response to these changes, studies concerning indigenous knowledge (IK) and climate change vulnerability, resiliency, and adaptation have increased dramatically in recent years.  Risks to lives and livelihoods are often the focus of adaptation research; however, the cultural dimensions of climate change are equally important because cultural dimensions inform perceptions of risk.  Furthermore, many Arctic and Subarctic IK climate change studies document observations of change and knowledge of the elders and older generations in a community, but few include the perspectives of the younger population.  These observations by elders and older...

Enhanced surveillance of shellfish mortality to improve early detection and investigation of outbreaks of exotic or emerging infectious diseases: An example of a mass mortality outbreak of mussels, France 2014
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Lupo, Coralie; Prou, Jean.
This paper explores the relevance and feasibility of enhanced surveillance of mussel-related mortality based on regular telephone interviews of a key informant in a farming community. Based on qualitative analyses of data collected through semi-structured interviews, this method of participatory disease surveillance enabled the retrieval of high quality data during an outbreak of mussel mortality which occurred in Pertuis Charentais, France, in 2014.  The findings illustrated that such an enhanced surveillance approach compared with the institutional shellfish health surveillance system could improve the early detection of outbreaks of mussel mortality by one week. This approach enabled a detailed description of the outbreak, showing higher incidence...

How to model social-ecological systems? – A case study on the effects of a future offshore wind farm on the local society and ecosystem, and whether social compensation matters
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Haraldsson, Matilda; Raoux, Aurore; Riera, Fabien; Hay, Julien; Dambacher, Jeffrey M.; Niquil, Nathalie.
Models of social-ecological systems (SES) are acknowledged as an important tool to understand human-nature relations. However, many SES models fail to integrate adequate information from both the human and ecological subsystems. With an example model of a future Offshore Wind Farm development and its effects on both the ecosystem and local human population, we illustrate a method facilitating a “balanced” SES model, in terms of including information from both subsystems. We use qualitative mathematical modeling, which allows to quickly analyze the structure and dynamics of a system without including quantitative data, and therefore to compare alternative system structures based on different understandings of how the system works. By including similar...

Marine Protected Areas (MPA) have turned to be a privileged tool for sustainable management of coastal areas and associated activities. But MPA's results for biodiversity and sustainable fisheries have to be assessed. That is the aim of PAMPA project, which is built on the experience of 7 French MPAs in the Mediterranean sea and in the overseas territories.  In this PAMPA project, Ifremer Océan Indien has mainly been involved in the analysis of fisheries data and opinion surveys, conducted from July to October 2010, towards fishermen on board around the coral reef. About sixty fishermen have been interviewed. Only two of them denied answering.  Recreational fishers are "local people", about forty or fifty years old, regularly at sea, but without fishing...

Surveillance of shellf ish health is based on clinical surveillance of shellfish mortality, including a detection phase and a mandatory notification phase. While control measures are limited, early detection of pathogens is a challenge which needs to be met. The relevance and feasibility of an enhanced clinical surveillance based on phone interviews were studied. The results made it possible to reconstruct the spatial and temporal evolution of the outbreaks of mussel mortality which occurred in Pertuis Charentais in 2014. Moreover, a qualitative analysis of the interviews revealed contextual elements that were used to enhance the previous description and to devise causal scenarios which could be used as research hypotheses.

Local fishermen's perceptions of the usefulness of artificial reef ecosystem services in Portugal
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Ramos, Jorge; Lino, Pedro G.; Himes-cornell, Amber; Santos, Miguel N.
Proponents of artificial reef (AR) deployment are often motivated by the usefulness of such structures. The usefulness of ARs is related to their capability of providing ecosystem services/additional functions. We present two distinct Portuguese AR case studies: (1) The Nazare reef off the central coast of Portugal and (2) the Oura reef off the Algarve coast. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with local fishermen in the fishing towns of Nazare and Quarteira pre-and post-AR deployment. The main focus of the interviews was to understand fishermen's perception of AR usefulness (or lack thereof) in terms of nine ecosystem services/additional functions potentially provided by the ARs. We tested the null hypothesis that ARs do not provide additional...

PERCEPTIONS OF RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES; AN ANALYSIS OF DUTCH LIVESTOCK FARMERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Meuwissen,   Miranda P.M.; Huirne,   Ruud B.M.; Hardaker,   J. Brian.
The risk environment of farmers is changing and new risk management strategies are being introduced. Beal (1996) stated that risk management strategies adopted by farmers will be in accordance with their personal preferences for risk. In this context it would be useful for developers and sellers of new risk management strategies to have insight into farmers' preferences for risk. This paper studies to what extent such preferences are farmer-specific or whether general relationships exist. By means of a large questionnaire survey among 2700 livestock farmers in the Netherlands we gathered data on four groups of variables, i.e. socioeconomic characteristics of the farm, farmers' attitudes towards risk, their perceptions of sources of risk, and their...

Environmental Perceptions and Behavioral Change of Hillside Farmers: The Case of Haiti
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bayard,   Budry; Jolly,   Curtis M.
Land degradation is one of the most serious problems facing resource-poor tropical hillside farmers. Studies examining determinants of farmers’ decisions to invest in land improvement technologies have focused on economic and financial factors, neglecting individuals’ perceptions and awareness of the problems and how they affect land use and behavioral change that enhance environmental sustainability. This study examines Haitian peasants’ environmental behavior structure using a structural equation modeling approach. Specifically, the study examines the effects of perceived susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, and barriers to change on attitude, and the causal effect of attitude on behavior. The influence of the level of resources extracted from the land...

USING BEST WORST SCALING TO INVESTIGATE PERCEPTIONS OF CONTROL AND CONCERN OVER FOOD AND NON-FOOD RISKS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Erdem,   Seda; Rigby,   Dan.
This research locates a series of risks or hazards within a framework characterized by the level of control respondents believe they have over the risks, and the level of worry the risks prompt. It does this for a set of both food and non-food risks. The means by which this is done is novel and differs from past risk perception analyses in that it asks people directly regarding their relative assessments of the levels of control and worry regarding the risks presented. The cognitive burden associated with people ranking and scaling items in large sets is notoriously heavy and so this study uses an elicitation method designed to make the process intuitive and cognitively manageable for respondents. The substantive analysis of the risk perceptions has 4 main...

We report results of an analysis of the attribution of relative responsibility across the stages of the food chain for ensuring food safety. Specifically, we identify perceptions of the share of the overall responsibility that each stage in the food chain has to ensure that the meat people cook and eat at home does not cause them to become ill. Results are reported for two groups of stakeholders: consumers and farmers, and for two types of meat: chicken and beef. The stakeholders’ opinions regarding the relative degrees of responsibility of the sequential food chain stages (feed supplier, farmer, livestock transportation, abattoir,… consumer) are elicited via surveys using the Maximum Difference technique (best-worst scaling). The data are analyzed using...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Adebayo,   K.; Sangosina,   M.A.
The current drive towards higher levels of commercialisation of cassava processing under the Presidential Initiative on Cassava requires that the scale of cassava processing be increased in Nigeria. Primary data obtained from 112 respondents selected from the 4 extension zones of Ogun State was used to examine the perception of effectiveness of innovations by cassava processors and the factors responsible for adoption of these innovations. The processors’ perception of effectiveness of cassava processing innovations was measured on a 5-point Likert-type scale containing 20 items. Most of the respondents (75%) are indifferent in their perception of the effectiveness of innovations in cassava processing. All the cassava processing innovations considered in...

Literature review on the perception of agro-foods quality cues in the international environment
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Marchesini,   Sergio; Hasimu,   Huliyeti; Regazzi,   Domenico.
Consumers look for the highest affordable food quality, given their household budgets and perceptions of product quality. Such perception is however strictly related to culturally linked variables, and the importance attached to each component of the overall quality vary greatly among countries. Different perceptions lead to different purchase decisions. This concept is even clearer for the aspects of quality that can’t be tested directly.  Consumer goods may be divided into search, experience and credence goods, depending on when the consumer is capable of assessing their quality (before buying, after consuming or in the very long term). Most quality agro-food products, such as food with geographical indications (GIs) and low input food (LIFs), fall into...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Obare,   Gideon A.; Mwakubo,   Samuel M.; Ouma,   Emily Awuor; Mohammed,   Lutta; Omiti,   John M.
This paper evaluates the farmers’ perception of the soil erosion problem, and identifies and analyses social capital elements that motivate households to actively participate in soil conservation in agricultural production process. The data used in the study was generated using a structured questionnaire in a survey that covered 321 households in Kenya’s semi arid districts of Machakos and Taita-Taveta Districts.  Two modelling strategies were used: A Probit model was used to estimate the likelihoods of factors that may influence farmers’ perception of soil erosion problem, and a Tobit to estimate parameters of factors that influence terracing intensity. The results indicate that although perception of the soil erosion problem is relatively high in the...

The importance of farmers’ perceptions of characteristics on agricultural innovation adoption has increased these two decades. Empirical studies revealed that in addition to farmers’ socioeconomic characteristics and institutional factors, farmers’ perceptions of the innovation-specific characteristics are particularly important in determining whether or not to adopt them. This study assessed vegetables farmers’ perceptions of botanical extracts and biopesticides compared with current chemical pesticides. It also examined the relationship between farmers’ perceptions and the adoption of botanical extracts and biopesticides. Data were collected from a stratified randomly sample of 198 vegetables farmers selected in vegetable producing zones in Benin and...

Autores: Acquah,   H. de-Graft; Onumah,   Edward E.
This paper assesses farmers’ perception and adaptation to climate change to enhance policy towards tackling the challenges climate change poses to the farmers in Ghana. With regards to farmers’ perception and methods of adaptation, majority of the farmers perceived increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall pattern. Farmers’ level of adaptation was found to be relatively high with majority of the farmers using changing planting dates, different crop varieties, soil conservation and water harvesting as the major adaptation measures to climate change impacts. However, access to water, high cost of adaptation, lack of information, lack of knowledge on adaptation, insecure property rights, insufficient access to inputs and lack of credits were identified...

USING BEST WORST SCALING TO INVESTIGATE PERCEPTIONS OF CONTROL &amp; CONCERN OVER FOOD AND NON-FOOD RISKS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Erdem,   Seda; Rigby,   Dan.
This research locates a series of risks or hazards within a framework characterised by the level of control respondents believe they have over the risks, and the level of worry the risks prompt. It does this for a set of both food and non-food risks. The means by which this is done is novel, and differs from past risk perception analyses in that it questions people directly regarding their relative assessments of the levels of control and worry over the risks presented. The cognitive burden associated with people ranking and scaling items in large sets is notoriously heavy, so this study uses an elicitation method designed to make the process intuitive and cognitively manageable for respondents. The substantive analysis of the risk perceptions has four...

Distrust of the State and observance of the law among peasants in the San Nicolas Valley
Provedor de dados: 123
Autores: Durán-Palacio,Nicolasa María; Cogollo-Ospina,Sonia Natalia; Moreno-Carmona,Norman Darío.
Abstract In Colombia, political decisions related to the countryside preserve an unjust social order, maintaining inequities and obstacles to the well-being and life quality of farmers. In this scenario the Territorial Arrangement Planning of the San Nicolas Valley, in the East of the department of Antioquia, has generated a series of rural conflicts that accentuate the vulnerabilities of rural residents, threatening the agricultural tradition in this subregion. Thus, this study inquired about the perceptions of legality in the peasant population of the area. A descriptive-correlational study with non-probabilistic sampling was carried out, including 380 peasants, members of civic-rural associations of the San Nicolas Valley, evaluating in four scales:...

Perception and use of non-native and invasive flora from Sierras de Córdoba in central Argentina
Provedor de dados: 39
Autores: Martínez,Gustavo Javier; Manzano-García,Jessica.
ABSTRACT The perception, knowledge and use of non-native and invasive flora by social actors associated with protected areas in central Argentina were analyzed. Contemporary ethnoecology methods were followed. A total of 108 non-native species of botanical interest was documented. An organization of species is proposed according to their Relative Importance, and on an attitude scale in relation to conservation/elimination interest. In the case of invasive species, perceptions on ecology, importance and/or control are discussed based on the profiles of the social actors. The results shed light upon local points of view and nuances of what “non-native” and “invasive” means to the studied rural population. The use spectrum for some of the non-native species...

Autores: Costa-Neto,Eraldo M.; Magalhães,Henrique F.
This article deals with the construction of the "insect" ethnozoological dominium by the inhabitants of Tapera County, which is located in the municipality of São Gonçalo dos Campos, Bahia State. Data were obtained from March to May 2005 through open-ended interviews carried out with 23 men and 8 women, whose ages ranged from 6 to 66 years old. Interviewees were asked about how they perceived and defined the animals considered as "insects", which types they knew, and if they used them as food resource. Most of the interviews were tape-recorded, and semi-literal transcriptions are kept at the Ethnobiology Laboratoty of the Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana. Considering the ethnozoological classification system of the inhabitants of Tapera, the term...

What we see is how we are: New paradigms in visual research
Provedor de dados: 48
Autores: MALDONADO A,PEDRO.
As most sensory modalities, the visual system needs to deal with very fast changes in the environment. Instead of processing all sensory stimuli, the brain is able to construct a perceptual experience by combining selected sensory input with an ongoing internal activity. Thus, the study of visual perception needs to be approached by examining not only the physical properties of stimuli, but also the brain's ongoing dynamical states onto which these perturbations are imposed. At least three different models account for this internal dynamics. One model is based on cardinal cells where the activity of few cells by itself constitutes the neuronal correlate of perception, while a second model is based on a population coding that states that the neuronal...

Provedor de dados: 65
Autores: Tamioso,Priscilla Regina; Guimarães,Paulo Ricardo Bittencourt; Molento,Carla Forte Maiolino.
ABSTRACT: We investigated self-reported attitudes of 148 South Brazilian sheep farmers to animal welfare and sentience. Many farmers (73.0%) knew animal welfare superficially. Farmers that worked for longer in the sheep industry and that raised sheep for commercial purposes mentioned more commonly that they had knowledge about animal welfare (P&lt;0.05). Terms related to freedom from hunger, thirst and malnutrition were the most used to define animal welfare, cited 24.9% of the times. The majority claimed that their animals experience good levels of welfare (93.2%), especially farmers that kept bigger flocks (P&lt;0.05). However, many respondents believed that sheep welfare could be improved on their farms (71.6%), mainly farmers with less experience in...
