Community leadership in Arctic environmental research is increasingly recognized as one of many pathways to Indigenous self-determination in Nunavut, Canada. While experienced Inuit hunters, trappers, and other recognized environmental knowledge experts are commonly included in research, similar opportunities for Inuit youth to meaningfully engage in environmental research remain limited. Finding ways to increase scientific literacy, particularly among Inuit youth, has been identified as an important step in the continuation of high-quality Arctic environmental research. This paper examines community perspectives on the roles and contributions of Inuit youth in environmental research in Nunavut, barriers that Inuit youth face in becoming meaningfully engaged in field-based environmental research, and strategies for enhancing Inuit youth engagement. Our study was conducted in Pond Inlet, Nunavut, and used interviews, workshops, and observation to gather stories and knowledge from community members about field- and land-based experiential learning pathways. This study found that a complex set of barriers, including a lack of credentials and support systems, among others, may inhibit meaningful Inuit youth engagement in environmental research. Key findings from the study support the view that collaborative land-based research activities can be an effective and meaningful method of enhancing scientific literacy among Inuit youth.

Abstract Building construction will increase along with the increase in population in urban areas. For maintaining the carrying capacity of the environment to remain in balance, it is necessary to have a control instrument in the development of urban areas, one of which is through a Building Permit (IMB). To increase the effectiveness of the policy for implementing the IMB, it is essential to know the public’s perception of the IMB and experts regarding their views. Through interviews, questionnaires, spatial analysis, and AHP, this research is expected to be a material consideration for stakeholders in deciding policies for implementing IMB in South Jakarta. Spatial analysis was used to compare land cover, questionnaires were used to see people’s perceptions of building permits as an instrument for controlling and protecting urban areas, and AHP was used to validate the expert team’s opinion regarding IMB. The increase in green land in South Jakarta, the perception of public awareness in South Jakarta regarding the obligation to build a IMB and its impact on the environment is still high, and the accountability factor of the implementing licensing organization is one of the factors that can increase the effectiveness of the application of a building permit (IMB) in South Jakarta.

<p>In efforts to combat worldwide poverty, education is considered a vital device. It is believed that basic education has a significant impact in stimulating a range of positive forces for change and to fight poverty. However, global efforts to ensure every child has access to quality basic education are still far from being achieved, especially in areas that are physically remote and isolated. Such issues are continually faced by Indonesia, which has many widespread regions and diverse communities and various traditional and customary beliefs, which can affect peoples' attitudes to the education of their children. In addition to an examination of several issues regarding the Government of Indonesia's quest to provide basic education to all Indonesian children, this thesis will also focus on a case study from two villages in the South Sulawesi Province. The study aims to explore the rural community perspectives on the value of basic education in people's lives, and whether it is important to improve their conditions and their children's future.</p>

AbstractParticipatory spatial tools—community mapping, PGIS, and others—find increasing resonance among research and non-governmental organizations to make stakeholder claims and community perspectives explicit for more inclusive landscape governance. In this paper, we situate the use of participatory spatial tools in debates on integrated landscape approaches and inclusive development. We show that using such spatial tools is not new but argue that their application for inclusive landscape governance requires a new research agenda that focuses on expanding the scope of application of the tools, improving the inclusivity of the processes, and developing new technologies.
