<p>Women participation in decision making is a manifestation of equality between men and women. Public arena is dominated by men meanwhile the women were put mainly only on domestic domain and almost didn’t have any access to the public arena. Main issue of this research was the women participation in decision making in Leo discussion at<br />Rote Ndao district. This was a descriptive qualitative research with phenomenological and cultural approaches. Data collection techniques used were interview with informants, observation and document analysis. From this research it was known that the women participation in Leo discussion was limited only on giving comments and advices, final<br />decision was then made by the male, because tradition said that men had the rights on decision making. Although still dominated by men, there were some women participation in Leo discussion, women could made decision which related to technical means issues in Leo discussion. Public area were still dominated by men and its domestic counterparts were still fully done by the womens. Women were heard if they were highly educated, women were respected when they were experienced, oldest, had life character which put in high regard, not arrogant, motherly, mildly resolute, and used to public appearances.</p>

Abstract There has been a rapid expansion in the use of payments for environmental services (PES) as a key conservation finance policy. However, there is insufficient understanding of how gender can affect PES implementation and outcomes. We present results from a case study in Viet Nam, where a national PES programme has been in place for a decade. Through panel household survey data, focus groups and interviews, we examined how women have been involved in PES policies, what the impacts have been on decision-making by men and women, participation rates and use of PES income over time, and the potential conservation outcomes. Our research confirms that resource use varies between men and women, and changes in access rights can fall disproportionately on women. Participation in PES has been lower for female-headed households and for women within male-headed households, although gradually more equitable participation has evolved within households. Female-headed households reported expending more yearly effort on PES activities despite protecting less land, and also increased their conservation activities over time as they presumably became more familiar with PES. Use of income from PES also showed differences between male and female-led households, with men more likely to spend funds on non-essential goods. Within households, although men initially decided how to spend PES money, decision-making has become more equitable over time. We conclude with some recommendations on how to increase attention to gender in PES projects and future research to improve outcomes.

Major Decision

In mountainous country Nepal having large populations of culturally unique indigenous peoples poses threats of glaciers retreat and resource bases change. The indigenous people living in mountain plays the major role in carbon management. Further, the role and responsibilities of men and women varies differently in natural resource conservation and management. However, their participation in decision-making and benefit sharing is poor. The majority of women have unequal access to productive resources and decision-making process. Therefore, study on gender based agro-pastoral activities, their contribution on carbon management and decision-making process were carried out in Tamang ethnic group of Gatlang VDC of Rasuwa district, Nepal. For the purpose, 30 households were selected purposively. Similarly, four focus group discussions were carried out among the separate group of women, men and group consisting both men and women. Carbon management types: input carbon and output carbon activities were studied on men and women. In total, 23 different agro-pastorals related activities were found, among them 57% of work were supported by women, 39% by both men and women, and 4% by men only. With respect to fuel-wood, in average, 10 kg per day fuelwood is necessary for one household. The use of biomass for cooking emits chocking smoke and causes indoor air pollution. All these disadvantages lead to carbon emission which might lead to health deterioration of women by increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and respiratory disorders. The average fuel-wood requirement was found to be 840 kg/capita/year which are found to be higher than the other physiographic regions of Nepal. This is due to use of fuel-wood as only source of energy in the study area. Out of total respondent, it was observed that 30% literate men allow their wife to make joint decision on the major household issues. Similarly, 3% literate women respondents took the major decision by their own or jointly with their husbands. On the other hand, 30% illiterate men and 37% illiterate women either didn’t allow their wife or don’t participate in major decision-making process. Further, it is revealed from the chi square test that literacy plays major role in decision making (x2 = 5.625, df =1, p=0.017). Similarly, educated women actively join together with their husband in decision making. Moreover, women have high contribution in carbon input and output activities. Therefore, the women education should be promoted to make their equal and strong participation in decision making, which ultimately contribute in carbon input and output activities, through their greater roles in livestock husbandry and fuel-wood management relative to men. Further, importance of women’s role in carbon management should be given greater prominence.

In recent years, like many people from other countries, the Chinese people pay close attention to nation’s development and policy of nuclear power, especially after the Fukushima incident. Furthermore, the concerns become exacerbated with the discussion about building the inland nuclear power plant. At the same time, the enthusiasm of the public participation which has its own characteristics has greatly improved in China. There is limited experience in the field of nuclear power decision-making in China. In this context, this paper comprehensive analyzes the Chinese public participation in decision-making of the nuclear power industry, summarizing the characteristics of public participation in this field. Then a typical case analysis with On-site visit and interview is made for verifying our theory. Based on these studies, some suggestions are put forward.

The book closes with an epilogue that addresses the current health and economic conundrum that Latin American societies face and some of their political repercusions. The text registers how these societies have been affected by the pandemic, economic deceleration, rising unemployment and growing challenges to the livelihood of millions of citizens. While representative democracy weakens under such pressures and populist projects are recreated, the region has a strong tradition of highly participatory societies pressing demands and making their voices heard in the public arena. Under those conditions, one should expect outbursts of popular mobilization and unrest to develop that will challenge personalist rule and decision-making, most likely supported by countervailing visions of democracy that reverberate cyclically in the public spheres of Latin America.

Participation In Decision Making

The Water Environment Federation's elaborate effort to rename sewage sludge as “biosolids” is an example in practice of the “propaganda model” of communications, which sees its task as indoctrinating target audiences with ideas favorable to the interests of the communicators. The propaganda model assumes that members of the public are irrational and focuses therefore on symbolic and emotional aspects of communication. This approach to communicating arouses public resentment rather than trust. In place of a “propaganda model,” public officials should adopt a “democratic model,” which assumes that audiences are rational and intellectually capable of meaningful participation in decision-making.

Gender equality is a great desire of the world community. Measure of a country's development is the existence of gender justice. This principle is a process that ensures a balance between men and women in access and opportunities, participation in decision-making and control of development benefits. The existence of strong current in the international world coupled with the lack of readiness of the people of Indonesia, where the response is sluggish as evidenced by the birth of KKG bill was cause polemics. There is not a society that can spontaneously accept those values but are not always opposed to these values permanently.
