Strengthening Threatened Communities through Adaptation
Blythe, J. L., G. Murray, and M. Flaherty. 2014. Strengthening threatened communities through adaptation: insights from coastal Mozambique. Ecology and Society 19(2): 6. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-06408-190206
Historical Perspectives and Recent Trends in the Coastal Mozambican Fishery
Historical data describing changing social-ecological interactions in marine systems can help guide small-scale fisheries management efforts. Fisheries landings data are often the primary source for historical reconstructions of fisheries; however, we argue that reliance on data of a single type and/or from a single scale can lead to potentially misleading conclusions. For example, a narrow focus on aggregate landings statistics can mask processe…
National Initiatives, Local Effects
Commercial shrimp farming in India expanded rapidly after trade liberalization initiatives were introduced in the early 1990s. This article examines the social, economic and environmental impacts that have been generated in communities along Orissa's Coast in east India. The results suggest that macro-level policies such as trade liberalization are useful at the national level, but at the local level they can generate imbalanced growth. Although …
Cumulative environmental effects of low salinity shrimp farming in Thailand
The cumulative environmental effects of low salinity shrimp farming in the Bangpakong River Basin, eastern Thailand, were investigated using a GIS-assisted approach. Water supply, water quality, and agricultural land use were used to represent key environmental resources. Shrimp farming is a major consumer of freshwater, but cumulative effects on water supplies are probably negligible because of ample rainfall and similar water consumption of ric…
Memory span for Arabic numerals and digit words in Japanese kanji in deaf signers
According to the theory of working memory, the “phonological loop” is a slave system that stores a limited number of sounds for a short period of time. The question of how this system works for deaf people reading a logographic script, kanji, was investigated. We measured the memory span of a sample of Japanese hearing and deaf participants. Hearing subjects were tested in Japanese and deaf subjects in sign language. Memory span was assessed in c…

How a Language Gender System Creeps into Perception
The influence of a gender system in a language on perception was examined in a cross-cultural study. Participants were from two language groups, one with a gender system, Spanish, and the other with a limited gender system, English. In each language group, participants were from three age groups: 5-7 years old, 8-10 years old, and adult. In one experiment, participants were asked to put a typical male or female name to 20 objects. In another expe…
Low Salinity Inland Shrimp Farming in Thailand
Thailand has been the world's largest exporter of cultured shrimp since 1991. Despite problems with poor environmental conditions and disease outbreaks that led to the failure and abandonment of numerous farms along the coast, Thai shrimp production has remained high. A primary factor has been the establishment of low salinity shrimp farming for black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in areas much further inland from the coast than once thought fea…

Rice Paddy or Shrimp Pond
A Political Ecology of Shrimp Aquaculture in Thailand1
This paper uses themes from political ecology to develop insights into the billion dollar shrimp aquaculture sector in Thailand. We find that corporations can exercise only limited control over shrimp production and that there is no clear trend toward larger operations. We explain the continued viability of small owner-operated farms by looking at how shrimp farming is located in physical and social space, and at the ability of owner-operators to…
A Spatiotemporal Framework for Environmental Information Systems
The data products and delivery mechanisms provided by research institutes and government agencies are lagging behind the needs and expectations of the private sector, regulatory agencies, and academia. This situation is particularly acute in the environmental arena, in which the analysis of complex processes frequently requires the integration of data and information collected by independent researchers and agencies. However, a variety of technic…

Customary landowner involvement in the Kumil timber project, Papua New Guinea
Women in Local Governments in Northern Thailand
Women occupy minute numbers of political offices throughout the world. In the developing world particularly, women face a variety of barriers that limit their involvement in government. This paper reviews the structure of local government administration in Thailand, documents the involvement of women, and presents the results of a study of women leaders in northern Thailand, which provides some insights into the conditions operating to constrain …

Compactness and Electoral Boundary Adjustment
Spatial compactness has been proposed as a suitable criterion for assessing whether electoral boundaries reflect partisan interests. Although several different measures of spatial compactness have been developed, only limited efforts have been made to compare and evaluate them in the context of electoral redistricting. This paper assesses alternative spatial compactness measures and applies conceptually appealing measures to the provincial riding…
Measuring Christian Maturity
One way to explore the meaning of Christian maturity is to try to measure Christian maturity. Catholic and Protestant students responded to several instruments purporting to measure Christian maturity and one instrument measuring intrinsic faith. The correlations between the instruments were all positive and typically high. Several of the instruments were collapsed together and a principle components factor analysis revealed four basic factors un…

Preferences for Rural Land Severance Policies
The increasing demand for residential land in rural Ontario has generated a widespread interest in land severance activity and policy. This paper examines resident preferences for alternative land severance policies using a paired comparison experiment. The analysis identifies those severance policies most preferred by township residents and characterizes groups of residents with similar preferences. Differences in policy preferences are more clo…
