<abstract> <p>The need of protection of the territory is a priority for the society, which is an integral part of it (unfortunately, this coincidence is often forgotten): the new environmental issues require the development of innovative management strategies and of appropriate knowledge and models. The balanced use of resources, essential for the survival and well-being of society, can be optimised through the promotion of the territory. The identification and the sustainable development of local resources can only be achieved by directing development policies towards a path of integration between ecological needs, protection of the landscape and socio-economic and cultural needs. The landscape, read as a result of the interaction between human and natural processes, is a rich heritage to safeguard, enhance and promote. The key requirement underlying each cultural and environmental enhancement project is the knowledge of the territory in its manifold aspects; knowledge that can be properly synthesised through cartographic representation: maps are tools to make data easily accessible and meaningful. In this contribution, after having carried out a review of the literature on GIS technologies and having provided some work examples, we analyse some proposals about the application of PPGIS on communication of environmental promotion initiatives; PPGIS, in fact, are effective in risk communication and information and in the consequent prevention of disasters. The mediated and participatory use of PPGIS technologies, furthermore, allows a community-based approach, fundamental for reducing the disaster risk.</p> </abstract>

Sustainability Challenges

Sustainable development in agriculture is the need of the hour. Extensive use of agrochemicals in the agricultural sector for practices like weed control, pest control, enhancing soil fertility, etc. results in a broad range of uninvited effects not only to the agricultural ecosystem but also to the human health owing to the nondegradable nature of these chemicals. This situation is alarming and of serious concern. It’s high time to curb our dependency on agrochemicals and instead search for other alternatives, most importantly keeping an eye on their environmental impact. In this prospect, eco-friendly strategies should be adopted to ensure safe and healthy agricultural products for the society. Aquaculture being one of the fastest growing food fabrication sectors, thus we majorly focused on community-based aquaculture on the regions of eastern belt of India. The present study is a diagnostic approach that demonstrates how sustainability challenges can be overcome by utilization of local resources.

The COVID-19 pandemic heavily impacted the travel and tourism industry, economies, livelihoods, public services, and opportunities globally. This is also observed in the small country of Brunei. As one of the few countries that have successfully mitigated COVID-19 transmissions, Brunei is slowly rebuilding its tourism industry through its community-based tourism (CBT). Following Sharma et al.’s resilience-based framework for reviving the tourism industry post‑COVID-19 established in 2021, this study incorporates responses from semi-structured interviews with 16 local CBT owners on the challenges, the management, and the CBT initiatives during the height of the pandemic until today. These initiatives include diversifying more tour packages and utilising local resources and products. Despite the lockdown imposed by the government, which suspended businesses and restricted all travelling, local CBT operations flourished, generated more income for the owners, and created job opportunities for the community. Such efforts have caused the public to appreciate local cultures, the environment, and ultimately increase CBT experiences in the country. While shedding light on Brunei’s unique management of its tourism industry during the pandemic, this paper also demonstrates theoretical and conceptual contributions to the recent literature of resilient and transformational tourism and provide suggestions on how to manage CBT operations during these challenging times.

SummaryThis paper describes and analyses the process of implementing participatory community-based management (CBM) towards sustainable management of goat genetic resources in two rural communities in Southern Benin from November 2005 to February 2007. The process started with the selection of the communities. This was followed by a participatory situation analysis, identification of problems and of possible solutions, and the provisionof relevant information and training to interested farmers. It was facilitated by a multidisciplinary research team composed of a specialist in livestock production systems, a socio-economist and an agronomist. The interaction between the research team and the farmers aimed to develop and implement community led strategies towards better management and conservation of the local resources of goat. The approach adopted to facilitate the creation of representative, accountable and legal local institutions and the efforts made in ensuring their empowerment are described. It has been shown that once local people recognise the benefits of such community-based activities and are offered the relevant information and technical support, they can organize themselves effectively and take appropriate actions to better manage and conserve their local resources. The interactive nature of thisapproach allows its rapid adjustment to different local conditions and thus its replication elsewhere.

Abstract This study aims to assess the effectiveness of non-DRR NGOs’ programs focusing on their contribution to the uplift livelihood of the disaster-affected coastal communities. Researchers conducted a field study in Satkhira, the most disaster-prone coastal district of Bangladesh, and interviewed 45 respondents, including NGO officials, local government bodies, and community beneficiaries, applying purposive sampling. For analyzing data, Researchers used thematic analysis methods with NVivo software's assistance. Study findings reveal that NGOs’ community-based awareness and advocacy, mobilization of local resources, and primary healthcare programs contributed to enhancing community livelihood by promoting their attitudes and capacities to cope with disasters. However, their microfinance and infrastructure-related programs reinforced community vulnerability and exposure to disaster by increasing poverty, exclusion, and disparities among them. In conclusion, the study signifies the value of integrating sustainable infrastructure, environmental impact assessment on health and agriculture for promoting effective livelihood strategies in coastal communities.

Corporate Social Responsibilities was part of fully commitment from the company to communities. This responsibility applied into CSR policy aims to increase sensibility and occuring positive impact for the company. The principle of CSR implemented by PT Pertamina EP-Field Rantau refers to five essentials: local resources based, community based, economic empowerment, sustainability and participatory planning. Act number 25 tahun 2007 about capital investment and Act number 40 tahun 2007 about limited company mentions for tripple buttom line. In 2010 PT Pertamina EP-Field Rantau has conducted social mapping to Makmur Sub-village. The result indicated that the villagers are living in poverty line and teenegers were not working well. The main prospect developed were fishery cultivation due to the topography of this sub village  were  clay and preferable for ground pool and the availability of natural feeds like golden snail and maggot. PT Pertamina EP-Field Rantau committed to establish group of cultivation of catfish Tanah Berongga-Sido Urep. PT Pertamina EP-Field Rantau assisted technical assistance through local partnership. This strategy sychronizes with MDG‘s goal in establishing global partnership in order to decrease poverty. There were 8 members previously and now 24 members joining to this group. The method was  used  case study whereas this was identical  with explanatory by attracting causality for the object. The advance accepted by group of cultivation of catfish Tanah Berongga-Sido Urep appreciated from local and national media. The massive news was influenced to the rapidly of visitor with aiming to study, comparative study and recreation. Currently each of members was getting profitable 6 millions/ depends on the amount of catfish pool owned. This effort shown that catfish cultivation was giving significant impact for these groups and the desire to create Makmur Sub-village as a center of catfish cultivation in Aceh Tamiang.

Engineering efforts in low resource environments pose a unique set of challenges, requiring an in-depth understanding of local needs, comprehensive mapping of community resources, and extensive collaboration with local expertise. The importance of these principles is demonstrated in this paper by detailing the novel design and field demonstration of an affordable, locally manufactured intravenous fluid regulation device. Collaboration with clinical personnel in Uganda and Malawi guided device design. In-country physicians emphasised the need to regulate volume of intravenous (IV) fluid delivered to a paediatric patient without use of electricity. The proposed device regulates IV fluid delivery within ±20 mL of total prescribed dosage, providing a method of reducing fatalities caused by over-hydration in low resource environments; the feasibility of building the device from local resources was demonstrated by a field research team in Malawi. The device was successfully constructed entirely from local resources for a total cost of $46.21 (USD). Additionally, the device was demonstrated in rural clinics where 89 % of surveyed clinical staff reported that they would use the device to regulate IV fluid delivery. This paper emphasises the importance of collaborating with communities for community-based engineering solutions. Mapping community assets and collaborating with local expertise are crucial to success of engineering efforts. Long-term, community-based efforts are likely to sustainably improve health outcomes and strengthen economies of communities worldwide.

Pengembangan ekowisata merupakan salah satu upaya pemanfaatan sumberdaya lokal yang optimal. Sejalan dengan praktek ekowisata berbasis masyarakat, konsep pariwisata berbasis masyarakat ini merupakan sebuah konsep pariwisata yang menekankan pada sisi pengembangan masyarakat dalam mengelola pariwisata yang ada. Konsep ini sering disebut community based tourism (CBT). Metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif digunakan untuk melihat CBT di Desa Tarumajaya. Desa Tarumajaya memiliki berbagai potensi pengembangan ekowisata. Beberapa potensi wisata di antaranya Situ Cisanti, Curug Lodaya Barat, Situs Batu Korsi, Situs Batu Kasur, Air Panas Ciseke, Situs Batu Lingga, Wisata Gunung Wayang, dan Wisata Edukasi berbasis alam. Meskipun elemen-elemen kunci Community Based Tourism sudah dilakukan dalam praktek ekowisata di Desa Tarumajaya, namun belum memadai. Berbagai usaha masih harus dilakukan, terutama agar ekowisata di Desa Tarumajaya mampu memberikan alternative sumber matapencaharian bagi warga, yang notabene adalah petani tanpa lahan. Kegiatan ekowisata yang berlandaskan CBT diharapkan mampu mengurangi ketergantungan warga atas lahan, terutama lahan konservasi.Ecotourism development is one of the most optimal efforts to utilize local resources. In line with the practice of community-based ecotourism, the concept of community-based tourism is a concept of tourism that emphasizes the side of community development in managing existing tourism. This concept is often called community based tourism (CBT). Qualitative and quantitative methods are used to view CBT in Tarumajaya Village. Tarumajaya Village has a variety of ecotourism development potential. Some tourism potentials include Situ Cisanti, Lodaya Barat Curug, Korsi Batu Site, Batu Kasur Site, Ciseke Hot Springs, Batu Lingga Site, Gunung Wayang Tourism, and Nature-based Educational Tourism. Although the key elements of Community Based Tourism have been carried out in the practice of ecotourism in Tarumajaya Village, it has not been sufficient. Various efforts still have to be done, especially so that ecotourism in Tarumajaya Village is able to provide alternative sources of livelihood for residents, who are landless farmers. Ecotourism activities based on CBT are expected to reduce people's dependence on land, especially on conservation land.
