Truths and governance for adaptive management
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Loftin, M. Kent; SynInt Inc.; CAMNet; kloftin@synint.com.
Managing large-scale water resources and ecosystem projects is a never ending job, and success should be measured in terms of achieving desired project performance and not just meeting prescriptive requirements of planning and constructing a project simply on time and within budget.  Success is more than studying, planning, designing, or operating projects.  It is developing the right plan, getting it implemented, and seeing that it is operated and performs properly.  Success requires all of these, and failing any of these results in wasted resources and potential for doing great harm.      Adaptive management can help make success possible by providing a means for solving the most complex problems, answering unanswered questions, and, in general, reducing...

Provedor de dados: 190
Autores: Cosenza, Diogo Nepomuceno; Oliveira Neto, Silvio Nolasco de; Jacovine, Laércio Antônio Gonçalves; Rodrigues, Caroline Ribeiro; Rode, Rafael; Soares, Vicente Paulo; Leite, Helio Garcia.
Por se tratar de uma atividade complexa, os estudos de viabilidade econômica de sistemas agroflorestais (SAFs) exigem maior esforço para avaliação. Dentre os motivos estão a maior quantidade de elementos a serem considerados, a necessidade de prever os efeitos das interações entre as diferentes espécies consorciadas e a dificuldade de valorar os benefícios ambientais do sistema. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar e sintetizar os principais métodos de avaliação econômica descritos na literatura. Através dele é possível determinar quais itens devem ser computados na análise e como atribuir valores a eles para definir as principais receitas e custos do projeto. Ainda, podem ser traçados os principais métodos de análise econômica e de...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rota,   Cosimo; Zanasi,   Cesare.
The importance of the human side of project management to assess the success of international development project has not been fully considered yet. An analysis of the literature on the project success definition, focused on the success criteria and success factors, was carried out. The organization’s effectiveness, in terms of Relations Sustainability, emerged as a criteria integrating the “time, cost, performance” approach to define a project success. Based on previous research contributions on the factors influencing the organization’s effectiveness, the paper expands the analysis of the influence of Organizational Climate on the Relation Sustainability between project manager and project team involved in international cooperation for development.

Tropical and Subtropical Maize in Asia: Production Systems, Constraints, and Research Priorities
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gerpacio,   Roberta V.; Pingali,   Prabhu L.
This book examines future technological and policy prospects for the sustainable intensification of rainfed upland maize production in Asia, and derives R&amp;D priorities for specific maize production environments and markets. Village-level and farmer-group surveys were conducted to characterize upland maize production environments and systems in China, India, Indonesia, Nepal, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Survey findings, particularly farmer-identified constraints to maize production, complemented with other relevant data, were used in country-level, R&amp;D priority-setting workshops. High on the list of farmer constraints was drought, estimated to affect three production environments that are home to about 48 million rural poor and produce...
