In community settings in low-income developing countries better forest management depends on collective action (CA), but if CA really offers better incentives than open access, we should observe behavioral differences across CA levels. In this paper we examine one potential farm-level behavioral effect by trying to isolate and understand the effects of community forest CA on households’ incentives to invest in trees located on their own farms. Using a household level analytical model, we find that more stringent forest CA should create incentives for private tree planting as a substitute for overusing community forests. We test this hypothesis using detailed measures of highland Ethiopia forest CA attributes taken directly from the rich CA literature and a variety of empirical specifications. Though we are unable to draw firm conclusions due to the nature of our data, we do find robust evidence across specifications that more effective forest collective action causes households to plant more trees on their farms.

The City

The households have significant roles in managing the environment. The increasing of household numbers will automatically increase the demand and consumption of the resources, namely electricity, water, and land-use (space). The household also is a significant contributor to the solid waste in the city. The changing of lifestyle, consumption patterns and awareness of environment directly affects the environmental management at the household level. This paper examined the environmental management at the household level, in three aspects: (1) consumption of electricity and water, (2) green open space, and (3) waste management. This research using the quantitative method with data obtained from the survey on 30 respondents, all of the respondents are the household mother, with the assumption of they who manage the resources consumption and the environment in the household. This research found that the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior in the waste management, water and electricity consumption and green open space management are good.

Management Case Study

Research aims to understand the rule of education in Goma Junior High School, to understand the level of environmental management, and relationship between education and environmental management. This research employed a mixed method which is quantitate and qualitative. Technique to gather non-numerical data, the researcher utilized a qualitative data collection approach. The results show that environmental education helps students improve their living, study through tree planting, waste management, good environmental management in the school farm and increase number of environmental management ambassadors in the community. The students have a moderate level of understanding on environmental issues and concerns while the rest of the students either have very good or good in understanding environmental management issues. Moreover, students are at the knowledge and understanding A to A continuum level while the list is in the problem-solving skills level of the A to A continuum phase. Students become more responsible in matters dealing with environmental management such as planting tree, keeping their living environment clean and attractive, and managing waste well. Peranan pendidikan terhadap menejemen lingkungan: Studi kasus Goma Junior High School DR Congo Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimanakah aturan pendidikan di Sekolah Menengah Pertama Goma, untuk memahami sistem pengelolaan lingkungan, dan memahami hubungan antara pendidikan dan pengelolaan lingkungan di Sekolah Menengah Pertama Goma, DR Congo. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode campuran yaitu kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Pengumpulan data nonnumerik menggunakan pendekatan pengumpulan data kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan lingkungan membantu siswa meningkatkan taraf hidup, belajar melalui penanaman pohon, pengelolaan sampah, pengelolaan lingkungan yang baik di sekolah pertanian dan meningkatkan jumlah duta pengelolaan lingkungan di masyarakat. Sebagian besar siswa memiliki tingkat pemahaman yang moderat tentang masalah dan masalah lingkungan, sedangkan siswa lainnya memiliki pemahaman yang sangat baik atau baik dalam masalah pengelolaan lingkungan. Siswa berada pada pengetahuan dan pemahaman tingkat kontinum A ke A sedangkan daftar berada pada tingkat keterampilan pemecahan masalah dari tahap kontinum A ke A. Mahasiswa menjadi lebih bertanggung jawab dalam hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan pengelolaan lingkungan seperti penanaman pohon, menjaga lingkungan hidup tetap bersih dan menarik, serta mengelola sampah dengan baik.

Biogas is the product of anaerobic vitiation of biodegradable matter. This paper focuses on the need of alternative and green sources of energy at a household level and how biogas produced from the everyday organic waste has the potential and possibility to replace LPG cylinders at houses, shops etc. and empower us to step towards an eco-friendly future. The purpose this small-scale experiment has been to find the perfect input matter that is easy to acquire and which produces the maximum amount of gas from minimum input and within small period of waste retention. Four different types of input waste material containing different quantities of cow dung and kitchen food waste were studied through individual experimental setups. Waste was mixed and kept at room temperature and the pH and total solid concentration of the samples were recorded on regular intervals. From the experiment it was found that the optimum yield of biogas at a small scale, based on the parameters such as retention period, pH and total solid con-centration can be obtained by the use of food waste form households and kitchens. The exact composition has been discussed in this paper. The energy generated by the small-scale generator has also been compared to that of an LPG cylinder and an LPG replacement model has also been presented.
