Communication Networks And The Adoption Of Three Farn Practices, P. W. Fry, F. K. Goss

All other publications

The report commences with a discussion of the diffusion and adoption model, and illustrates some of the research observations and practical outcomes that have emerged in recent years, An overview of social network research is presented as a means of understanding communication exchanges and providing data relevant to the diffusion debate. The communication and adoption studies are then reported in three separate sections in the order they were conducted. (A map of the location of the survey areas is shown in Figure I ) . The objectives, survey method, results and a summary are presented for each study.

2. TERMS OF REFERENCE

To achieve familiarity with the existing resources for biometrical work within the Department of Agriculture both at Bangkhen and at the regional centres - and to gain an understanding of the present systems whereby biometricians are involved in designing experiments and analysing results. This will involve visits to research stations and discussions with both research directors and scientists.

2.1 To become informed on the planned improvements in biometrical services for regional research centres to be carried out through the Thai/World Bank, National Agricultural Research Project (NARP).

A Land Resource Survey Of The Fall Point Coastline, Broome, W.A., P A. Hesp, P J. Curry

Resource management technical reports

The purpose of this study was to find a suitable location for a bird observatory and provide adequate coastal land resource data for the area. The main selection criteria and conditions were: the location was closely adjacent to major wader roosting and feeding sites; all-seasons access was required; the location provided a site of around 2 1/2 hectares to provide space for one or more buildings, camp ground and associated facilities ; anticipated access tracks, site developments and levels of use.
