Community Development Quota Program: Community Sustainability And The Bering Sea, Lauren A. Krueger
Community Development Quota Program: Community Sustainability And The Bering Sea, Lauren A. Krueger
Arctic and Northern Studies
Sustainability and resilience are worthwhile goals for western Alaskan communities. From shifting global markets to climate change, these communities face numerous novel threats to their survival that increased resilience can mitigate. This thesis examines how an innovative community management scheme, the Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program, can contribute resilience to its communities, how those resilience-lending aspects can be better utilized, and what obstacles prevent sustainability in western Alaska. Qualitative, semi-structured interviews with ten community residents from four of the six CDQ groups were conducted and CDQ relevant documents and reports were evaluated to measure eight indicators of sustainability and resilience: …
Land Loss: Attachment, Place And Identity In Coastal Louisiana, David Burley
Land Loss: Attachment, Place And Identity In Coastal Louisiana, David Burley
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation explores how people frame environmental change. Specifically, this work explores the identity loss that residents of coastal Louisiana experience due to coastal land loss. I rely on 126 in-depth interviews of residents from communities in six coastal parishes (counties). Respondents convey the meanings they give to land loss through constructing a narrative of place. A phenomenological approach is employed that focuses on how stories are told and the subjective interpretations of societal members. First, Louisiana's coastal communities hold a significant attachment to place that in many cases has been developing for close to three centuries. For most residents, …
Landscape Change In The South Prong Alafia River Basin, Kimberly Sarah Koenig
Landscape Change In The South Prong Alafia River Basin, Kimberly Sarah Koenig
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
West-central Florida has supplied much of the national and global demand for phosphate for over 100 years. The two main tributaries of the Alafia River, the North and South Prongs, have been extensively modified by the strip mining, benefaction, and chemical processing activities associated with the phosphate mining industry. Using aerial photos, an analysis of landscape change in the South Prong Alafia River drainage basin (357.4 km2) between 1940, 1970, and 2004 was conducted. A modified Florida Land Use, Land Cover, and Forms Classification System code (FLUCCS) was used to classify and measure change through the study period. Change in …

Assessing Demand For Organic Produce In The Monteverde Area, December 2006, Jacki Walczak
Assessing Demand For Organic Produce In The Monteverde Area, December 2006, Jacki Walczak
Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation
Small-scale, local and organic agriculture is beneficial to communities environmentally, socially, and economically. In this study, consumer preference for organic produce, in particular lettuce, oranges and plantains, was examined in the community of Monteverde and surrounding areas. Five local stores were surveyed, all of which were unique in their location, size, and clientele. There was a significant difference between the organic and non-organic lettuce that consumers purchased at equal prices (Sign Test, n = 9, p < 0.05) and with a ten percent increase on organic lettuce (Sign Test, n = 10, p < 0.05). The difference was not significant for either organic and non-organic oranges (Sign Test, n=2, p>0.05) or plantains (Sign Test, n = 2, p > 0.05) either equal prices, or with a ten percent increase on the organic oranges (Sign …

Zarządzanie Rozwojem Obszarów Wiejskich Ze Szczególnym Uwzględnieniem Programu Sapard, Paweł Bryła
Studia i Materiały Wydział Zarządzania Uniwersytet Warszawski
Nieustannie wzrasta znaczenie polityk rozwoju o charakterze terytorialnym, w tym dotyczących obszarów wiejskich, w aktywności Unii Europejskiej na przestrzeni ostatnich kilkunastu lat. Modelowy program stymulowania pomysłów przedsiębiorczych na wsi stanowi Inicjatywa Wspólnotowa LEADER, we wdrażaniu której „stare” kraje członkowskie dysponują wieloma cennymi doświadczeniami, często możliwymi do przeszczepienia na grunt polski. Pierwszym, zakrojonym na dużą skalę programem zarządzania rozwojem obszarów wiejskich w Polsce był SAPARD, współfinansowany ze środków unijnych. Pomimo początkowych trudności z jego implementacją wyzwolił imponującą dynamikę po stronie wnioskodawców, w rezultacie czego złożono ponad 31 tys. wniosków o wsparcie różnego rodzaju inwestycji. Nasz sposób rozumienia mechanizmów zarządzania obszarami wiejskimi …
Evaluation Tool For Community Development Coalitions, Holly Berry, Sally R. Bowman, Rebecca Hernandez, Clara Pratt
Evaluation Tool For Community Development Coalitions, Holly Berry, Sally R. Bowman, Rebecca Hernandez, Clara Pratt
Journal of Extension
Assessing the impact of community development coalitions over time is relevant to Extension professionals who may wish to measure success and lessons learned. We describe an evaluation tool in which coalition members and key informants assess community goals before the existence of the community coalitions and after the coalitions have been operating, utilizing a retrospective pretest. The responses of coalition members are posted, and a facilitated discussion allows members to change their ratings. Key informants are then interviewed using the same questions. The responses of informants and coalition members are compared, resulting in a comprehensive yet quick evaluation.
Using A Multi-Phase Community Assessment To "Chart The Course" Of Communities In Southern Ohio, Jeffrey C. Fisher, Deanna L. Tribe, David K. Apsley
Using A Multi-Phase Community Assessment To "Chart The Course" Of Communities In Southern Ohio, Jeffrey C. Fisher, Deanna L. Tribe, David K. Apsley
Journal of Extension
Extension must be responsive to the communities it serves in order to remain relevant. A multi-phased community assessment process was designed to acquire a holistic understanding of communities and perceptions of residents regarding broad issues within 16 counties in southern Ohio. This process has helped us better understand these communities and has served as a conduit to increase community awareness of Extension, build stronger and more efficient Extension teams, foster new and enhance existing partnerships, and stimulate positive change.

U.S. Rural Soldiers Account For A Disproportionately High Share Of Casualties In Iraq And Afghanistan, William P. O'Hare, Bill Bishop
Carsey Publications
A study by the Carsey Institute found that among U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, those who are from rural America are dying at a higher rate than those soldiers who are from cities and suburbs. According to U.S. Department of Defense records, rural youth enlist in the military at a higher rate than urban and suburban youth and in all but eight states, soldiers from rural areas make up a disproportionately high share of the casualties.

Essential Elements Of Sustainable Fire Management In The Wildland-Urban Interface, Christopher Dicus
Essential Elements Of Sustainable Fire Management In The Wildland-Urban Interface, Christopher Dicus
Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences
Fire and fuels management in the wildland-urban interface is a multifaceted aggregation of biophysical and sociopolitical components. To best insure sustainable communities in the wildland-urban interface, stakeholders from a diversity of disciplines and worldviews must collaborate to develop a management plan for a given area that minimizes fire risk while simultaneously maximizing the benefits that distinct vegetation types and structures provide. This paper discusses critical elements that must be considered in order to maintain sustainable communities in the wildland-urban interface. These factors include fuels treatments, suppression forces, enforceable infrastructure and construction standards, and community education, each of which will vary …

With One Stroke Of The Pen: How Can Wildlife Extension Specialists Involve Developers And Policy-Makers In Wildlife Conservation?, Mark Hostetler
Triennial National Wildlife and Fisheries Extension Specialists Conference: 11th (2006)
Residential developments have a huge impact on natural resources and wildlife, and sustainable or “green” communities are beginning to be built throughout the United States with goals to conserve wildlife habitat, to create healthy lifestyles, and to promote a sense of community. Buzzwords can be heard in the media and in town meetings: sustainability, smart growth, new urbanism, low impact development, and conservation subdivisions. Ultimately, with one stroke of a pen, developers and policymakers can determine how a community will look and feel for many years to come. Plus, citizens make day-to-day decisions that determine whether a community operates as …

Entrepreneurship And “Conscientious Capitalism”? Economic Solidarity Within The Banco Palmas Network, Caroline Whistler
Entrepreneurship And “Conscientious Capitalism”? Economic Solidarity Within The Banco Palmas Network, Caroline Whistler
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Capitalism is often thought of as a struggle between the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’. Although the very nature of the economic system is to reward innovative ideas that can survive competition and the ‘free market’, many ‘have-nots’ do not have the same opportunities to succeed as those born with economic resources. The gap between those with capital and those without has gradually widened into a gaping hole that few can cross. While there are certainly enough resources in Brazil to keep all citizens above the poverty line, the reality is that economic survival has been replaced by one of the most …

The Effects Of The Makgadikgadi Wildlife Fence On Cattle Populations And Local Cattle Industry, Jenny Hazelhurst, Elliot Vander Kolk
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
This study was conducted to determine the effects of the erection of the Makgadikgadi wildlife fence along the western border of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park on cattle populations and livestock owners to the west of the fence. Cattle foraging behavior and movement patterns were recorded using GPS and focal observation methods to determine resource use and pressures affecting the populations. Interviews were also conducted in the area of Meno-a-Kwena camp to examine the effects of the fence on the economics of the local cattle industry. Signs of resource stress were found in the continued selection of poor quality forage, …
