Abstract

The advent of digitization has unlocked numerous avenues for a country's economic advancement, particularly benefiting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With the ubiquitous presence of Internet technologies, the landscape has undergone a rapid transformation. Today's business environment differs significantly from both the past and the anticipated future. The integration of the Internet into business operations has spurred significant innovations across various sectors. Nevertheless, leveraging the Internet in business operations offers flexibility and substantial leeway in terms of organizational structure and management practices. However, limited financial resources pose a significant barrier to widespread Internet adoption in businesses. Additionally, coping with technological advancements remains a pressing challenge for businesses' economic development. Our research hypothesis posits that a coherent and strategic utilization of the Internet yields notable impacts on business performance. Our research aims to delineate the various ways in which businesses employ the Internet and to underscore its influence on business performance. We conducted surveys on more than 125 small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in downtown Antananarivo-Madagascar and its environs between 2021 and 2023. The gathered data underwent statistical analysis using SPSS and XLSTAT software.

Abstract

The present study highlights French language acquisition in primary, secondary, and public high schools in Antananarivo and its surrounding areas. Classroom observations and surveys were conducted in two public primary schools (EPP 67 ha Nord-Est and EPP Antanimena Est), two General Education Colleges (CEG Betsimitatatra and CEG Antanimena), and three public high schools (Lycée Moderne Ampefiloha, Lycée Analamahitsy, and Lycée Ivato). Field research reveals factors contributing to students' language deficits: lack of exposure, with 60.41% of students using French exclusively in school and during French classes. This leads to language deficiencies stemming from limited practice and vocabulary, observed in 43.13% of students, indicating incomplete mastery of the French language. Consequently, the majority (42.40%) resort to using dictionaries due to this vocabulary gap. Analysis of learning methods shows that most students encounter challenges across all subjects (78%), with a preference for memorization as the primary strategy (63.33%). Additionally, the majority believes that the use of visual aids is the most effective method to address their shortcomings (71.81%). Therefore, this study focuses on observing French language learning methods and aims to enhance them for more satisfactory outcomes.

Abstract

The impacts of anthropogenic risks on water resource management underscore the necessity for a careful and adaptable approach to ensure long-term sustainability. In the Ikopa Watershed in Madagascar, numerous human activities present significant challenges. Water quality is impacted by pollution resulting from agricultural practices. Uncontrolled deforestation intensifies watershed degradation, jeopardizing the availability of water resources. Rapid urbanization and escalating human activities further contribute to the deterioration of water quality. The hypothesis posits that responsible exploitation of natural resources contributes to the preservation and sustainability of water resources in the Ikopa Watershed. This study concentrates on investigating potential anthropogenic risks that influence resource degradation and the perception of mitigation measures. The main objective of this section is to assess the anthropogenic risk factors contributing to water resource degradation in the watershed. The study employs change detection studies through remote sensing and GIS approaches, complemented by social analysis. This methodology aims to identify potential anthropogenic risks affecting responsible water resource management, along with an exploration of local mitigation strategies. The results underscored potential risks faced by the local population in the watershed, including challenges associated with agriculture, urbanization, inadequate drainage network management, and high population density. Binary logistic regression analysis reveals significant connections between anthropogenic risks and the mitigation strategies adopted by local communities in the Ikopa Watershed. The findings indicate that specific characteristics of degradation or local interventions can either positively or negatively influence the adoption of these strategies.

Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected world, digital tools are rapidly revolutionizing the methods of teaching and learning foreign languages. In Madagascar, a nation undergoing continuous development, the use of the social platform Facebook is emerging as a powerful catalyst for practicing foreign languages such as French and English for secondary school students. In the digital era, where geographical boundaries are losing significance and learning opportunities are endless, the question emerges: "How can the use of Facebook benefit the learning of foreign languages in Malagasy secondary schools?" Despite the prominent status of these international languages and their importance for development, many challenges remain in making them accessible to all. Even after six years of studying English and starting French from their first year of school, secondary school students still face obstacles in learning and practicing these languages, particularly in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, oral expression, and motivation. In this context, a study conducted during the 2023-2024 school year over a two-month period surveyed 78 students in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades at FJKM Rasalama Manjakaray College, Lycée Privé Fanovozantsoa Ivato, FJKM Fahasoavana Androndra College, FJKM Andriamanarefo High School, and Lycée Privé Rakoto Benjamin Jean Ambohidroa in Antananarivo on their use of Facebook to practice French and English in their daily lives. Simultaneously, 11 French and English teachers were also interviewed about the impact of this social network on their teaching practices and the learning of these foreign languages. The results revealed that many students use this platform as a valuable tool for learning and practicing foreign languages, particularly for acquiring new vocabulary and improving pronunciation, as well as in commenting on posts in French and English. Similarly, the teachers interviewed reported concrete benefits, such as increased student motivation through listening to and watching videos selected or recommended by native teachers or by the students themselves, as well as their active participation in French and English-speaking groups. Despite these advantages, spelling and/or grammar mistakes are observed on social networks, which may undermine their reliability as educational models. Therefore, it is important to find reliable and professional pages and groups, such as those recommended by teachers. The aim of this study is to highlight the importance and effectiveness of social networks as a platform for learning foreign languages in Malagasy schools. This underscores the vital importance of new technologies as innovative tools in the field of education in Madagascar, offering young people unprecedented access to educational resources.

Abstract

This study examines child begging in Analakely, a neighborhood of the Malagasy capital, by exploring the socio-economic, cultural, and familial dynamics that perpetuate this practice. Through daily interviews with children and adults over five days, a deductive approach was used to test hypotheses based on Bourdieu's theory of genetic structuralism. The analysis reveals that children are often introduced to begging at a young age, internalizing values such as family solidarity, resourcefulness, and dignity in poverty, which reinforce their commitment to this practice. Social networks within these communities play a crucial role by providing children with the resources needed to survive and instilling in them a perception of begging as a socially and economically viable activity. This research highlights the need for an integrated and comprehensive approach to address child begging by targeting the underlying causes of this phenomenon.

Abstract

Faced with the rapid degradation of ecosystems, the ecological emergency is now undeniable according to global scientific analyses. In this context, protected areas, through shared governance, have emerged as one of the most effective strategies for preserving biodiversity and ultimately ensuring the survival of humanity. Madagascar, which has embraced this shared governance, relies on its local communities, the fokonolona, to ensure its effectiveness. However, these communities, living in precarious conditions, are heavily dependent on natural resources for their livelihoods and benefit little from the advantages of protected areas. Their adherence to the concept of protected areas remains uncertain. A field study revealed that while 52% support the concept of protected areas, 44% are not convinced. Nevertheless, since it is a state policy, all natural resource users have accepted it. One of the primary motivations for the fokonolona is the preservation of their cultural and natural heritage. They therefore advocate for joint co-management that guarantees their participation in inclusive local governance for their engagement in the protected area. 93% of respondents believe that this co-management should be conducted through a commons-based approach, which is well-rooted in their organization. Even other users, in order to defend their interests, aspire to this approach where all users define the rules for resource management themselves. However, this commons-based approach does not seem suitable for all categories of protected areas, including natural parks, which is the option chosen by the manager for Sahamalaza – Iles Radama.

Abstract

This study focuses on the valorization of sweet potatoes in Madagascar from the perspective of food security and the accumulation of productive capital, as defined by Nurkse—that is, through the establishment of basic infrastructure. The research was conducted in the geographic areas of Ankazobe, in the northern highlands, as well as in Tsarasaotra in the Amoron'i Mania region, and in Soaindrana and Talata Ampano in the Matsiatra Ambony region. These areas are distinguished by their diverse sociocultural and economic characteristics. The central question is whether it is reasonable to consider development based on a modest, indigenous yet widespread resource like the sweet potato. The findings indicate that if its production were to increase, following a shift in the devaluing perceptions commonly associated with it, this would lead to strengthened food security. Furthermore, if basic innovations—both technical and organizational—are adopted in rural settings, the production of this tuber crop could promote the rapid accumulation of productive capital, a key element in any development process. Drawing on De Sardan’s framework of entangled social logics, which emphasizes changes in mentality, the concept of agency, and Weber’s ideal-type vision of capitalism, the objective is to move away from grand macroeconomic development theories and adopt a pragmatic approach centered on local potential. Development must therefore be rethought as a cultural process, grounded in representations and enculturated behaviors (habitus, hexis), by establishing a link between increased production and rural mentalities. The study also shows that ongoing innovations in production methods—such as those related to sweet potatoes—do not necessarily need to be expensive to trigger mechanisms for the formation of productive capital.
