A Perspective on the Evolution of e-Dialogues Concerning Interdisciplinary Research on Sustainable Development in Canada
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Dale, Ann; Royal Roads University; ann.dale@royalroads.ca.
Sustainable development research is inherently interdisciplinary; it requires the conscious search for unifying concepts that foster and reinforce understanding across disciplines. In addition, the number of sectors and actors involved in potential solutions requires a multistakeholder approach to decision making. The challenge of sustainable development research increasingly presents itself as a problem-solving activity. It involves producing useful knowledge through applied research. It is normative and not value-free. It involves complex issues of polity and culture. Thus, sustainable development research needs novel methods for research, for bringing together expertise that crosses disciplines and sectors, and for informing policy development. It also...

A basic guide for empirical environmental social science
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Cox, Michael; Environmental Studies Program, Dartmouth College; michael.e.cox@dartmouth.edu.
In this paper, I address a gap in the literature on environmental social science by providing a basic rubric for the conduct of empirical research in this interdisciplinary field. Current literature displays a healthy diversity of methods and techniques, but this has also been accompanied by a lack of consistency in the way in which research in this area is done. In part this can be seen as resulting from a lack in supporting texts that would provide a basis for this consistency. Although relevant methods texts do exist, these are not written with this type of research explicitly in mind, and so translating them to this field can be awkward. This paper is designed to fill this gap and enable more consistency in the conduct of empirical environmental social...

Pausing at the Brink of Interdisciplinarity: Power and Knowledge at the Meeting of Social and Biophysical Science
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: MacMynowski, Dena P; Stanford University; macmynowski@stanford.edu.
Interdisciplinary environmental research has been deemed essential to addressing the dynamics of coupled social-biophysical systems. Although decades of scholarship in science and technology studies (STS) take the analysis of interdisciplinarity out of the realm of anecdote, there is almost no overlap between this literature and discussions of interdisciplinarity in ecology-oriented journals. The goals of researchers in these areas are quite different, and thus far, their analyses of interdisciplinarity have been incommensurate with each other's purposes. To introduce an STS perspective into how environmental scientists think about interdisciplinarity, I argue that biophysical and social scientists are not just bringing information and different...

Pontos críticos no manejo que afetam o desempenho da cafeicultura em Acrelândia, Acre.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: ÁLVARES, V. de S.; GONZAGA, D. S. de O. M.; LIMA, M. N. de; CARTAXO, C. B. da C.; LESSA, L. S.
A cafeicultura possui grande importância social e econômica no Estado do Acre, sendo o município de Acrelândia o principal produtor, com 65,5% de toda produção. Apesar desta importância, o baixo nível tecnológico desta atividade na Amazônia Ocidental resulta em baixa produtividade com retorno econômico aquém do seu potencial. Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar um diagnóstico sobre as práticas de manejo adotadas desde o cultivo do café até a fase final de comercialização em Acrelândia, Acre, como forma de identificar os pontos críticos que possam impactar na qualidade do produto e no sucesso da atividade cafeeira. Para isto, questionários semiestruturados foram aplicados a 82 produtores daquele município para identificação da área plantada, bem como...

Analysis of Participatory Research Projects in the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lilja,   Nina K.; Bellon,   Mauricio R.
Through a survey of scientists from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in 2004, this study assessed the extent to which participatory methods had been used by the center, how they were perceived by the scientists, and how participatory research could be applied more effectively by CIMMYT and partners. Results for 19 CIMMYT projects suggest among other things that participatory approaches at the center were largely “functional”—that is, aimed at improving the efficiency and relevance of research—and had in fact added value to the research efforts. The authors suggest that CIMMYT should (1) create a more conducive environment for scientists to share experiences on such approaches and (2) better document their impacts on farmers’...

The Asian Maize Biotechnology Network (AMBIONET): A Model for Strengthening National Agricultural Research Systems
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pray,   Carl E.
This report reviews the impacts of the Asian Maize Biotechnology Network (AMBIONET), organized by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) with funding from the Asian Development Bank to strengthen the capacity of public maize research institutions in China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam to produce high-yielding, disease resistant, stress tolerant maize cultivars. It was found that, during its lifetime (1998-2005), AMBIONET clearly benefited researchers and institutions in participating countries, as well as CIMMYT. In addition, there was good progress toward developing improved cultivars. Asian farmers are just beginning to gain from the work, but their future benefits will likely pay for AMBIONET’s relatively...

Methods for Studying Collective Action in Rural Development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Meinzen-Dick,   Ruth Suseela; di Gregorio,   Monica; McCarthy,   Nancy.
With renewed recognition of the importance of collective action in many aspects of agriculture, natural resource management, and rural development programs in developing countries, there is a need for research on the factors that affect its emergence, as well as its performance. Yet because of its dynamic nature, collective action is difficult to measure and study. This article discusses ways of conceptualizing collective action to provide researchers from various disciplines with a basic framework for understanding and studying collective action. It highlights specific features of collective action that are relevant to identify best practice methodological approaches and research techniques. The main part of the paper then describes how collective action...

Argues that single irrigation systems managed by autonomous system-specific organizations accountable to their customers, perform better and are more sustainable than those managed by agencies dependent on the government, or by agencies responsible for multiple systems. Selected cases are reviewed and the plausibility of this hypothesis established. General recommendations are made for policy makers designing irrigation reform programs.

Participatory rural appraisal for irrigation management research: lessons from IIMI's experience
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gosselink,   Paul; Strosser,   Pierre.
The increasing international awareness about the strengths of participatory approaches and methods for research and development has led international development banks, NGOs, donors and research and training institutes to adopt Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and other participatory approaches to implement new projects and programs. At IIMI, PRA approaches and methods have also been incorporated in a number of research activities. The present Working Paper explores the opportunities of PRA in irrigation management research through an analysis of selected case studies in which IIMI attempted to practice the PRA approach.
