Comparative Use and Valuation of Spatial Data Products in Zimbabwe’s Disaster Risk Reduction Environment
This paper investigated the comparative use and perceived value of spatial information across the National Civil Protection Coordination Committee (NCPCC) in Zimbabwe. The revealed preference approach was used in determining the economic value placed on spatial data by disaster practitioners based on their experiences in Zimbabwe. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was the primary tool used in the ranking and weighing of attributes related to…
Role of Social-Ecological Systems in Forest and Woodland Conservation in Zimbabwean Resettlement Areas
This study investigates the importance of social-ecological systems in the conservation of forest and woodland resources in a planned resettlement area in Zimbabwe. The study uses methodological integration, comprising a questionnaire survey and participatory rural appraisal that were conducted on five randomly selected farms to explore the way resettled communities interact with tree resources and the cultural and traditional practices that they…
Identification of fossil hairs in Parahyaena brunnea coprolites from Middle Pleistocene deposits at Gladysvale cave, South Africa
This research focuses on scale pattern and cross sectional morphology of hair to identify an expanded sample of fossil hairs from Parahyaena brunnea coprolites from Gladysvale cave in the Sterkfontein Valley, South Africa. The coprolites are part of a brown hyaena latrine preserved in calcified cave sediment dated to the Middle Pleistocene (257–195 ka). Forty-eight fossil hairs were extracted from 12 coprolites using fine tweezers and a binocular…
