Studies that focus on archipelagos and the interaction between and among islands in an archipelago are lacking. This study aims to contribute to this emerging discussion by determining the geo-social interactions of small islands in the Naranjo Group of Islands, Philippines. Using Social Network Analysis (SNA), descriptive network connectivity statistics — degree centrality, geographical centrality, and network density indices were generated. The geo-social interaction intensity (GSII) index was also calculated to assess the degree of geo-social interactions of the small islands. The geo-social interaction between and among islands in the Naranjo Group of Islands involves access or exchange of resources, goods, and services. The degree of geo-social interaction in the archipelagoscape was influenced by the islanders’ need to access resources, resource availability, distance, weather, transport, and sea condition. The degree of linkages between and among islands in an archipelagoscape serves as a safeguard during a disturbance by promoting resilience against challenges by ensuring continued access to resources or constraining its spread. The study recommends a strengthened geo-social interaction to ensure a continued flow of goods and services necessary for island existence, survival, and well-being. Further research on the relationship between island resilience and connectivity from an archipelagic perspective is also suggested.

Water availability and management for water security on small islands are critical. The purpose of this research is to uncover the water resources issue at a small island community level as well as discourse on the potential threats and sustainable management for water security. Tunda Island, located in the Java Sea, is one of 81 small islands in Banten Province, Indonesia. Data were collected through focus group discussions, open interviews with key persons, direct field observations, and secondary data gathering. Moreover, we analyzed time series climate data, particularly rainfall and population growth projections, based on data from official Indonesian government sites. The monthly mean precipitation is ranging from a low of 48 mm/month in August to a high of 292 mm/month in January. A “surplus of water” occurs from November to May, while months with a “deficit of water” occur from June to October. The majority of the community is unaware of the water security issue due to a lack of information and knowledge in the community. Some threats to the sustainability of water resources would be caused by two factors, both anthropogenical and natural: rising water demand, diminishing groundwater reserves due to population growth and tourism activities on the island, drought, sea level rise, and seawater intrusion as climate-related impacts due to increasing population growth and tourism activities on the island and drought, sea level rise and seawater intrusion as climate-related impacts. Developing community knowledge and awareness of water security is the main issue that should be handled first, coinciding with sustainable management practices that consider water use efficiency, the use of alternative water sources (e.g., rainwater harvesting), and protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems, especially for the future tourist destination.

This study aimed to confirm the mediating effect of social capital on the relationship between a sense of connection to the mainland and life satisfaction as perceived by island residents. To that end, the study drew on original data from the Survey of the Welfare Status and Needs of Jeonnam Island Residents conducted by the Jeonnam Welfare Foundation from October 11 to November 1, 2017. The respondents (N = 500) were residents of inhabited islands in Jeollanam-do. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. The results indicate a partial mediating effect of social capital on the relationship between connection to the mainland and perceived life satisfaction. Based on these results, the study makes a number of practical and policy suggestions.

This study analyzes how social networks can connect and interact to strengthen food accessibility for poor households on Mapur Island, one of the small and outermost islands in Indonesia. Data collection used interviews with eighteen recipient households of the Family Hope Program (PKH) and Focus Group Discussions with eighteen key informants. Data were analyzed using R analysis and social network analysis. This study found that the level of access to food for PKH households and their social networks was very low and short. His dependence on rice assistance from the government and being in debt to ‘Patron’ became very strong. Of all identified communities, the same pattern was found, and a strong mutual relationship was with ‘Patron.’ The role of ‘Patron’ in the food access network is an intermediary and central role that connects many entities and activities to meet community needs. The interaction between the Regional Logistics Agency stopped at the liaison between the ‘Patron’ and the village government that distributed the assistance. The village food access network is very dependent on the network owned by ‘Patron.’ Government intervention through policies and strengthening food institutions can play a key role in helping to facilitate access to food needs on the island.

The Big Prawn statue erected in Ballina, on the north coast of the Australian state of New South Wales, in 1989 belongs to a genre of roadside ‘big things’ that commenced in Australia in the 1960s. The statue has come to be a prominent — if frequently contentious — landmark within the town and an icon of it for tourists. Its symbolism reflects Ballina’s status as a coastal location with a small fishing fleet and dedicated harbour and magnifies that aspect as a projection of the town to both visitors and a general social media public. As such, the Big Prawn has both a cultural ‘life of its own’ and a relationship to Australia’s national circuit of roadside big things and with other symbols of Ballina mobilised by the town council and its tourism promotion. The article provides a history of the development, prominence and impact of the Big Prawn in cultural media, its relation to cultural debates about aesthetics and heritage in Australia and the manner in which its sign can be understood to operate within a coastal location heavily dependent on tourism income.

This article analyzed the socio-cultural representations associated with two Sicilian wines, Catarratto, and Nero d’Avola. The study was carried out in the area of western Sicily, where most of the wine growing is concentrated. In particular, for ‘Catarratto’, the research was conducted in the area of the Gulf of Castellammare in the province of Trapani, an area particularly suited to the cultivation of the ‘Catarratto’ vine from which the white wine is obtained; for ‘Nero d’Avola’, the research was conducted in the area of Menfi in the province of Agrigento, an area particularly suited to this black vine. Our objective was to determine how the players in the wine chain, and who indirectly deal with wine, construct their mental model relating to wine to suggest to companies the appropriate wine marketing actions to take to increase their competitive advantage. To achieve the objective of the research, ten focus groups consisting of wine consumers, teetotalers, wine opinion leaders, wine merchants, wine shop owners, medical doctors, and food experts were conducted. During the focus group, we gave these subjects a document in which they had to explain what wine evokes in them. The results of the research confirm that wine is a complex food product whose consumption evokes sensations, memories, and pleasures. The study provides an important source of knowledge on the current cultural significance of wine and its consumption in these two areas of Sicily. Therefore, the study highlighted the quality of these two Sicilian wines can guarantee competitiveness at the company and sector levels.
本文分析了与两种西西里葡萄酒Catarratto和Nero d 'Avola相关的社会文化表征。这项研究是在西西里岛西部地区进行的，那里是大部分葡萄酒种植的集中地。特别是，对于“Catarratto”，研究是在特拉帕尼省的Castellammare海湾地区进行的，该地区特别适合种植“Catarratto”葡萄树，从而获得白葡萄酒;对于“Nero d ' avola”，研究是在Agrigento省的Menfi地区进行的，该地区特别适合这种黑色藤蔓。我们的目标是确定葡萄酒链中的参与者，以及间接与葡萄酒打交道的人，如何构建他们与葡萄酒有关的心理模型，以建议公司采取适当的葡萄酒营销行动，以增加他们的竞争优势。为了达到研究的目的，对葡萄酒消费者、禁酒者、葡萄酒意见领袖、葡萄酒商人、葡萄酒店主、医生和食品专家等10个焦点小组进行了调查。在焦点小组中，我们给这些受试者一份文件，让他们解释葡萄酒在他们身上唤起了什么。研究结果证实，葡萄酒是一种复杂的食品，它的消费唤起了感觉，记忆和快乐。这项研究为了解西西里岛这两个地区葡萄酒及其消费的当前文化意义提供了重要的知识来源。因此，研究强调了这两种西西里葡萄酒的质量可以保证在公司和行业层面的竞争力。

Since the 1970s, Samar and Leyte islands had a thriving sea cucumber fishery but have rapidly declined over the years. In Maliwaliw Island, anecdotal accounts validated by the community revealed that the island had a brisk sea cucumber fishery but collapsed due to uncontrolled collection. In 2013, a sandfish sea ranching project was implemented in Maliwaliw Island, Salcedo, Eastern Samar, to bring back the sandfish that has disappeared from the area, and subsequently provide a supplemental livelihood to the local fishers. This study was conducted to investigate the impacts and lessons learned from the sandfish project. Recruitment of wild stock, increased community knowledge of sea cucumber biology and ecology, additional income through sandfish bycatch, and perceived enhancement of the coastal marine environment of the island were among the positive gains from the project identified by the respondents. On the other hand, poaching by fishers from neighboring communities resulting in inter-community conflicts was a major challenge. Clearly, the sandfish sea ranching project in Maliwaliw achieved ecological, social, and economic impacts on the project participants and the community. However, these gains need to be strengthened with effective management measures including size regulation to sustain the sea cucumber fishery in the area.

At the beginning of the last century, many people in Fujian, Guangdong and other Southeast China Coastal Region left their hometown and worked hard to make a living in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries. Houhuang village, located in Putian City, is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in Fujian Province of China. It is known as the “Nanyang style village” of Putian because of its unique architectural style and cultural landscape. Overseas Chinese play an important role in the construction of Houhuang village, and the precipitated overseas Chinese culture has become one of the most unique and distinctive cultural marks. However, in this village, the memory of overseas Chinese is facing the crisis of “being forgotten”, and the fresh memory of overseas Chinese in personal experience is being eliminated from overseas Chinese culture. By ethnographic research methods and discourse paradigms such as oral history and field investigation, this study explores the reasons, and comes to the conclusion that the “forgetting” of overseas Chinese’s memory in the post period is mainly attributed to four aspects: return obstruction, blood dilution, cultural immersion and no way to give back. At the same time, the weakening of overseas Chinese memory has led to three phenomena: the “otherness” of overseas Chinese groups, the “empty generalization” of identity and the “flattening” of overseas Chinese culture. In this regard, the article puts forward reflection and prospect, hoping to record the memory of overseas Chinese through network media and oral history, change the concept of villagers, and let the historical memory of overseas Chinese continue to live in Southeast China Coastal Region.

The changing climate brings various challenges to the fisheries industry, especially to those who depend their livelihood on fish in the small island. Through selective adaptation and mitigation strategies, many households may survive facing the unpredicted climate and weather conditions. Here we study how a small-scale fishers household in Indonesia struggled and searched their ways to face climate change which often resulted in a decrease in catch and income. Using a collective method of quantitative and qualitative, the study showed that the livelihood vulnerability level of Spermonde fishers is 0.56 (highly vulnerable). Three adaptation mechanisms such as ecological, economic and social, were discovered. The fishers often change their fishing ground location and add more fishing gear to catch the declining stock of fish or to make it easier for them to fish in the unpredicted weather. They used an ‘intensification’ strategy in dealing with climate change effects. This strategy is chosen due to the limited capital they have and a full dependency on the natural resources (fish) as their main source of food and income.

They used an ‘intensification’ strategy in dealing with climate change effects. This strategy is chosen due to the limited capital they have and a full dependency on the natural resources (fish) as their main source of food and income.","PeriodicalId":37975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine and Island Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48282682","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}
