Abstract

A clearer understanding of human or social aspects of environmental issues will enhance conservation. While social acceptance is critical in determining MPA success, it continues to be an inadequately explored area of research. This study examined the acceptability of the proposed Marine Protected Area in Ozamiz City, Philippines. Stressing the significance of social acceptability to an MPA's successful implementation, this investigated the influence of the fishing households' knowledge of the marine environment and coastal resource management and the perceived condition of the coastal environment on the social acceptability of a proposed MPA implementation. The study used a mixed-method, particularly concurrent triangulation design, utilizing a sample of 270 fishing households in the 15 coastal barangays of Ozamiz City. The data were gathered through a survey supplemented with key informant interviews (KII). The study revealed that the knowledge of the marine environment and coastal resource management had shown a highly significant relationship and emerged as a predictor of the social acceptability of the proposed MPA. Therefore, greater knowledge of the marine environment and coastal resource management among the fisher folks and stakeholders, in general, may result in a higher level of acceptability of the proposed MPA, thus resulting in a successful implementation. Strategies must be implemented to enhance and enrich the fisher folks' knowledge of the marine ecosystem and coastal resource management. Information on the features, characteristics, and importance of the corals and coral reefs to the marine ecosystem should be emphasized.

Abstract

Research has always been considered one of the most challenging aspects of being a student. This study explored the challenges encountered by college students in conducting research in one of the higher education institutions in Ozamiz City during S.Y. 2023-2024. This study utilized a qualitative approach and adopted a case study research design. Purposive sampling was applied to 17 participants. Data elicitation was achieved through face-to-face, in-depth interviews that used a researcher made interview guide. Yin's approach suggests that three themes emerge from the data. These are the initiation, design, and execution phases, multifaceted challenges of students, navigation of methodological, ethical, and analytical challenges, and strategies for overcoming challenges to access literature, collect data, analyze, interpret, and communicate. The use of university resources and academic databases provides necessary information and support for accessing relevant literature and data. Clear communication and proactive problem-solving ensure that students can address issues promptly and make informed decisions. Together, these strategies significantly aid students in overcoming research obstacles.
