Assessing community capacity for ecosystem management : Clayoquot Sound and Redberry Lake biosphere reserves
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Biosphere reserves are regions that are internationally recognized for their ecological significance and work towards ecosystem management.The concept of community capacity, as developed in the resource management and health promotion literatures, was applied to two such regions that were designated in 2000: Clayoquot Sound and Redberry Lake.The purpose of this comparative research was to better understand what constitutes the collective ability, or community capacity, these places have for fulfilling their functions as biosphere reserves.Community capacity is the collective mobilization of resources (ecological, economic/built, human and social capitals) for a specified goal.A mixed methods approach was taken.Self-assessments, both qualitative and quantitative, were used to determine community capacity in focus groups with biosphere reserve management, residents, and youth (grades 9-12).The results were compared to a statistics-based assessment of socioeconomic well-being.Semi-structured interviews for a related research project provided further insight.This comparative research made theoretical advancements by identifying key constituents of community capacity, including dimensions of the capitals and 'mobilizers,' or factors that motivate people to work for communal benefit.Mobilizers were found to be key drivers of the process of using and building community capacity.Four mobilizer categories were identified: the existence of, and changes to capital resources; individual traits; community consciousness; and, commitment.The practical implications of applying both qualitative and quantitative assessment methods were examined.It was found that there are several ways to conduct the socioeconomic assessment, and that adaptive methodological application is advised in research that attempts to be truly community-based-not just about, but for and with communities.It was found that, while it does not ensure a biosphere reserve's success, economic capital plays a key role in activating other resources beyond a time frame of three years, where social capital can be the primary driver for activity.Despite substantial differences politically, socially, and economically, both regions experienced similar challenges that can be largely attributed to a general lack of understanding of the biosphere reserve concept, and a lack of consistent, core funding.with the help of many people.My supervisor, Dr. Maureen Reed, proved to be more caring, insightful, and helpful during this academic journey than I could have ever hoped for.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
