The conservation forest area of Sultan Syarif Hasyim Forest Park, Riau Province an area of 6,172 hectares in the administrative area of Siak Regency, Kampar Regency, and Pekanbaru City. The views (perceptions) of the people that live around this forest area, can provide benefits for economic and social improvement. On the other hand, it cannot be ruled out that the existence of people who have already lived and worked in this forest area have a perception that the area that they control is a place of survival and death. This condition has caused 79% of the total area of this forest to be degraded and converted into oil palm plantations, settlements, social facilities, public facilities, and community business facilities. This research method applies a naturalistic paradigm - qualitative approach design. The data collection technique is through interviews, observation, and documentation study. The data analysis techniques is descriptive with the formal and informal results of the study. The implementation of collaborative management is analyzed from four elements of collaboration, namely; institutional procedures and agreements, leadership, knowledge and resources. The research result shows that the implementation of collaborative management in the conservation forest area of Sultan Syarif Hasyim Forest Park, Riau Province is running optimally on the elements of procedures and institutional agreements, leadership, knowledge and resources. Such conditions can be an example for other forest area managers how to manage forests in a sustainable, ecologically fair manner and provide positive impacts for the community.
廖内省 Sultan Syarif Hasyim 森林公园的保护林区占地 6172 公顷，位于西亚克县、甘帕县和北干巴鲁市的行政区域内。生活在这片林区周围的人们的观点（看法）可以为经济和社会发展带来益处。另一方面，不排除已经在这片林区生活和工作过的人认为他们所控制的区域是一个生存和死亡之地。这种状况导致这片森林总面积的 79% 退化，被改造成了油棕种植园、定居点、社会设施、公共设施和社区商业设施。本研究方法采用自然主义范式--定性方法设计。数据收集技术是通过访谈、观察和文献研究。数据分析技术是对研究的正式和非正式结果进行描述性分析。从协作的四个要素，即机构程序和协议、领导力、知识和资源，对协作管理的实施情况进行了分析。研究结果表明，在廖内省苏丹-西雅里夫-哈西姆森林公园的保护林区，协作管理的实施在程序和机构协议、领导力、知识和资源等要素方面都达到了最佳状态。这些条件可以成为其他林区管理者如何以可持续、生态公平的方式管理森林并为社区带来积极影响的范例。

Acacia decurrens plantations in the Timble-Faguita-Lekma watershed are being actively expanded to accommodate various land uses, mainly to produce charcoal and construction. This study aimed to investigate the effects of various land-use types on the hydrology of a watershed and the physicochemical characteristics of soils. Experiments comprised soil depth (0-15 cm and 15-30 cm) and land cover type (arable land, pasture, 0, 2, and 4-year stand). A 5*2 factorial array of randomized complete block designs (RCBD) with 4 replicates made up the design. The physicochemical parameters of the selected soils were investigated using 40 (5*2*4) composite soil samples. A semi-structured questionnaire and a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to investigate selected farmers' perceptions of watershed hydrology. The results revealed that soil particle size (sand, silt, clay) and SOC concentration differed significantly across all land-use types and soil depths studied. Soil pH did not alter with depth (p<0.5605). At 4 years of age, wet aggregate stability (WAS), weight mean diameter (MWD), and geometric mean diameter (GMD) values were significantly different and greater. Two zero-year-old lines from an acacia decurrens plantation (p=0.0264, p<0.0001, and p<0.0161, respectively). Furthermore, WAS, MWD, and GMD scores are highly positively connected with grade (Tone p<0.0096, r=0.83 and SOC p<0.0001, r=0.85). Most households believe that recent land-use adjustments in their acacia decurrens plantations have reduced the severity of soil erosion.

The geospatial locale of the North Eastern Region naturally experiences dryness which when coupled with climate change poses a big threat to the livelihood and health of the communities therein. The region has of late experienced prolonged drought with serious ramifications on the health of the surrounding communities together with their livestock. The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of climate change on the livelihoods and health of the Pastoral communities in N.E Kenya. The objectives of the study were: to establish how climate change affects the livelihoods of the pastoral communities; to establish the effect of climate change on the health of the pastoral communities in Kenya and to establish the appropriate intervention measures that could be put in place to address the climate change issues with its ramifications on the pastoralists in Kenya. The findings show that climate change has negative impacts on the health and socio-economic livelihoods of the pastoralists. The study used an empirical literature review adopting a meta-analytical approach. The study has implications on the policy directions on how to deal with the impacts of climate change on pastoralists, towards helping them adapt to the situation with resilience, while ensuring their welfare is guaranteed.

Studying climate change's impact on runoff and drought is crucial for sustainable society and ecosystems. The extent of drought evolution and how droughts would affect society and the environment are not sufficiently considered in Senegal. This study assesses hydrological impacts and future drought using three global climate models (ACCESS-ESM1-5, BCC-CSM2-MR, and MRI-ESM2-0) as part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) in the Aga-Foua-Djilas Basin. To this end, the hydrological impacts of climate change over 20-year periods (2021-2040; 2041-2060; 2061-2080; 2081-2100) at a resolution of 2.5 under four emission scenarios (SSP 126; 245; 370; 585), were investigated, and the drought characteristics are shown below, the SSP 245 and 585 scenarios over the 2021-2100 period. The results highlight a decrease in runoff potential given the drop in rainfall, which fell from 25.2 mm over the 2021-2040 period and under SSP 126 to 2.4 mm towards the end of the century (2081-2100) and under the SSP 585 scenario, changes in the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized precipitation and evapotranspiration index (SPEI) were first compared, and the SPEI showed larger changes due to its inclusion of temperature effects. The drought zone in the basin is likely to increase at the end of the 21st century with values approaching 80% for SPI and 90% for SPEI under the SSP 245 and SSP 585 scenarios if drought mitigation and adaptation mechanisms are inadequate. The results provide important guidance for improving the identification of causes, minimizing impacts, and building resilience to droughts in Senegal.

Since ancient times, most of the world’s civilization flourished along the banks of rivers and the coastal region. So the coastal region plays a vital role for human economic activities as well as their livelihood. The Kanthi coast, the northernmost part of the North Circus coast of India stretches in West Bengal and northern Odisha. The 45 km stretched coast land is associated with a dense population and faces the tropical cyclone emerging from the Bay of Bengal. The prime objective of the paper is to assess the coastal vulnerability of the study area. With the help of several indicators, viz. shoreline change rate, rate of sea level change, slope of the beach, wave height, tidal range, regional elevation, geomorphic features, sediment properties, coastal regulation zone (CRZ) violation ratio, the research work assess the Coastal Vulnerability Zone (CVZ) of the Kanthi Coastal region. The weightage sum method and Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) are being used. From this research work, it has been revealed that the western segment especially, Digha and Shankarpur are experiencing a high vulnerability situation.
自古以来，世界上大多数文明都是沿着河流两岸和沿海地区繁荣发展起来的。因此，沿海地区对人类的经济活动和生计起着至关重要的作用。坎提海岸是印度北环海岸的最北端，位于西孟加拉邦和奥迪沙邦北部。绵延 45 公里的海岸线上人口稠密，并面临着来自孟加拉湾的热带气旋。本文的主要目的是评估研究区域的海岸脆弱性。借助几项指标，即海岸线变化率、海平面变化率、海滩坡度、波高、潮差、区域海拔、地貌特征、沉积物性质、沿海管制区（CRZ）违规率，研究工作评估了 Kanthi 沿海地区的沿海脆弱区（CVZ）。采用了加权总和法和海岸脆弱性指数 (CVI)。研究结果表明，西部地区，尤其是迪加（Digha）和尚卡尔布尔（Shankarpur）地区的海岸脆弱性较高。

The research aimed to assess the environmental sensitivity of teacher education students within an earthquake-prone region, specifically exploring potential correlations between their environmental awareness, settlement size, educational program, and experiences related to the February 6 Earthquake. 342 students from Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Faculty of Education participated in the study, employing quantitative research methods and the “Environmental Sensitivity Questionnaire”. Data analysis involved frequency, arithmetic mean, and percentages, with the Kruskal-Wallis H test used to examine the link between students' environmental sensitivity, program of study, and settlement size, and the Mann-Whitney U test employed to assess the association between experiencing the February 6 Earthquake and environmental sensitivity. The data were analyzed using the SPSS program. The findings revealed that teacher-education students exhibited partial environmental sensitivity. Notably, students enrolled in mathematics teaching programs displayed higher environmental sensitivity than those in social studies teaching programs, while students residing in metropolitan and urban areas exhibited greater environmental awareness than their counterparts in non-metropolitan areas. Moreover, the research highlighted that teacher education students in earthquake-prone regions exhibited partial sensitivity towards air and water pollution, with lower sensitivity regarding soil pollution, population planning, and engagement in environmental initiatives.
该研究旨在评估地震多发地区师范教育专业学生的环境敏感性，特别是探索他们的环境意识、居住区规模、教育课程以及与 2 月 6 日地震相关的经历之间的潜在关联。哈塔伊穆斯塔法-凯末尔大学教育学院的 342 名学生参与了研究，研究采用了定量研究方法和 "环境敏感性问卷"。数据分析包括频率、算术平均值和百分比，并使用 Kruskal-Wallis H 检验来检验学生的环境敏感性、学习课程和定居点规模之间的联系，使用 Mann-Whitney U 检验来评估经历 2 月 6 日地震与环境敏感性之间的联系。数据使用 SPSS 程序进行分析。研究结果显示，师范生表现出部分环境敏感性。值得注意的是，数学师范专业的学生比社会学师范专业的学生表现出更高的环境敏感性，而居住在大都市和城市地区的学生比居住在非大都市地区的学生表现出更高的环境意识。此外，研究强调，地震多发地区的师范生对空气和水污染表现出部分敏感性，而对土壤污染、人口规划和参与环保活动的敏感性较低。

The key aim of the study is to establish barriers to environmental management accounting (EMA) adoption by manufacturing small and medium enterprises (EMA) in Gauteng province, South Africa from an institutional theory standpoint. To attain the aim of the study 34 in-depth interviews were undertaken with manufacturing SME owners and managers on 34 SMEs. Thematic analysis was adopted to analyze interview transcripts and revealed that lack of government support, financial barriers, lack of incentives to adopt EMA, and absence of guidance to adopt EMA are acting as barriers of SMEs in South Africa from adopting EMA. As a result, the study proposes various incentives such as tax concessions and discounts on eco-materials to encourage SME EMA adoption. Also, the government should take center-stage in making available green training and amplifying awareness of environmental management within SMEs in South Africa. Overall, the study would help regulators and policymakers to align regulations and green strategies with factors that hinder EMA adoption in a ploy to overcome them.
本研究的主要目的是从制度理论的角度确定南非豪登省制造业中小企业采用环境管理会计（EMA）的障碍。为实现研究目标，对 34 家中小型制造企业的所有者和管理者进行了 34 次深入访谈。研究采用主题分析法对访谈记录进行了分析，结果显示，缺乏政府支持、资金障碍、缺乏采用 EMA 的激励措施以及缺乏采用 EMA 的指导是南非中小企业采用 EMA 的障碍。因此，本研究提出了各种激励措施，如税收优惠和生态材料折扣，以鼓励中小企业采用 EMA。此外，政府应发挥核心作用，提供绿色培训，提高南非中小企业的环境管理意识。总之，本研究有助于监管机构和政策制定者根据阻碍采用 EMA 的因素调整法规和绿色战略，以克服这些因素。

Forests are crucial covering 31% of the Earth’s land surface. Deforestation has caused damage to these forest landscapes limiting their ability to provide ecosystem services like provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services. In response to this degradation issue, the concept of forest landscape restoration was introduced in 2000. This review aims to provide comprehensive studies of existing literature on the effect of forest landscape restoration and restoration time on reversing ecosystem service in Ethiopia. The goal is to inform evidence-based decision-making and guide research in this field. The review analyzed 16 studies conducted from 2011 to 2023 that covered aspects of forest landscape restoration. The findings indicated that these restorations had an impact on ecosystem services such as improving soil properties, storing carbon stack, enhancing species diversity, richness, evenness, and regeneration status, and benefiting community livelihood. However, the review found that most of the studies were limited to specific regions, little information on the cultural service, and there were inconsistencies in some research findings. In general, this study provides significant evidence supporting the importance of restoration as a viable strategy to rehabilitate degraded forest landscapes. It also highlights the importance of long-term monitoring and considering ecological conditions for sustainable restoration efforts in regaining ecosystem services.

It also highlights the importance of long-term monitoring and considering ecological conditions for sustainable restoration efforts in regaining ecosystem services.","PeriodicalId":277026,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Social and Environmental Issues (IJSEI)","volume":" 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139141791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The biodiversity of community forests is poorly studied in Burkina Faso. This results in a lack of understanding of their ecological importance, which is characterized by neglect in their management. The main objective of this study is to characterize the flora and woody vegetation of the community forests of Rogho and Boala to demonstrate their importance. For this purpose, a forest inventory was conducted using stratified random sampling methods. Shannon, Simpson, Margalef, and Pielou diversity indices reveal significant biodiversity of the flora in both forests, with a better distribution of individuals within the species that make them up. The horizontal structure of the two woody populations is characterized by a predominance of individuals with small diameters (DBH € [5cm-25cm[) on either side, with respective regeneration rates of 58.36% and 22.46% for Rogho and Boala. Regarding the ecological importance of species, Lannea microcarpa has the highest Importance Value Index (IVI = 99.06) for the Rogho site, and Vitellaria paradoxa for the Boala site (IVI = 136.58). Phanerophytes dominate the flora of both forests with a strong presence of mesophanerophytes. The average density of woody plants is evaluated at 330.34 trees/ha and 742.01 trees/ha respectively in Rogho and Boala, with respective average land areas of 14.8 m2/ha and 119.78 m2/ha. This study highlights the strong ecological potential of the forests studied. Communal and regional authorities must develop strategies for the sustainable management of these forest areas.

The Barind tract (northwest part of Bangladesh) is facing the prevailing disaster of drought due to extreme climatic conditions, including low rainfall. This research attempts to measure the character of the domestic water crisis and the adaptation capacity of the drought-affected Barind people. It also investigates the impact of climate-induced water scarcity on the socioeconomic livelihood of respondents in two villages of the Tanore sub-district in Rajshahi district, which is the most drought-prone area in the Barind tract. In the study area, face-to-face interviews (n = 246) through a structured questionnaire with the respondents of two villages were conducted in an affable environment to collect primary (quantitative) data. In-depth interviews were also conducted with two farmers to collect qualitative data for the study. So it is mixed-method research. All the gathered data were examined using Atlas TI, SPSS, and GIS software. The results of this research show an extended scenario of excessive use of groundwater for domestic purposes due to water table depletion. It presents a portfolio of the sufferings of domestic water users in the study area, not only during the load-shedding period but also during the lack of technical support. Few people are bound to use more contaminated pond water for applying artificial fish feed. Poor inhabitants who depend on others for domestic water are facing more critical conditions due to the inability to install deep-tube wells at a higher cost. As a result, people need to move further away to collect fresh groundwater for domestic use.
