Abstract

This research aims to describe the existing life of the Sakai Tribe in the context of land use and natural resources. The method used was qualitative by interviewing village government, traditional leaders, women's leaders, and youth leaders. The results of this research found that the source of the problems that are faced by the Sakai Tribe came from unequal control of the land and the natural resources. Besides it is not unbalanced, there is also an element of control that was carried out without legal means. The natural resources and the resources that were previously abundant and used for the livelihood of the Sakai tribe are gradually being controlled by the companies and the residents outside the Sakai traditional community. This condition causes their sociocultural system to experience changes with fading collective values becoming individualistic in the context of the use of natural resources. The conditions experienced by the Sakai Tribe need to be a concern to the stakeholders. They need social policy intervention to fulfill and protect the rights of indigenous peoples as regulated by the constitution.

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to explore the causes and consequences of flood-induced temporary displacement in southwest coastal Bangladesh. To investigate this, we purposively select one village; Hazrakhali, under the Satkhira district as our study area. This project has been carried out by following a qualitative research approach. Data for this study is collected through in-depth interviews conducted with 20 household heads who were selected using snowball sampling. The findings show that the dominant causes of temporary displacement in that area include economic challenges, the fear of losing their social connections, and a deep attachment to their cultural heritage. This temporary displacement had long-term negative consequences for their livelihoods in terms of poverty, rehabilitation problems, food insecurity, income diversification, hygiene and sanitation troubles, scarcity of edible water, etc. These findings will advocate for policymakers and disaster management bodies to address and mitigate the impacts of flood-affected miseries induced by displacement in the region.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of coping strategies of social protection programs in enhancing community resilience to climate shocks in Tana North Sub-County, Tana River County, Kenya. Despite its potential as a policy response, the effectiveness of social protection as a coping strategy in fostering community resilience remains underexplored. This study explores coping strategies employed by local communities and analyses the role of social protection interventions in migrating the impacts of climate-related disasters. Using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods data was collected from 362 respondents, including surveys, interviews, and focus groups.  The research finds that while these programs provide essential immediate relief and improve absorptive capacities, their impact on adaptation and long-term resilience is limited. Challenges such as inadequate coverage, irregular support, and poor integration with broader resilience-building efforts hinder their effectiveness and restrict their ability to foster community resilience to shocks. The study underscores the urgent need to identify best practices and inform policy recommendations for improving adaptation and fostering community resilience to climate shocks in the region.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the gender dimensions of the use of science by the women's movement to respond to environmental injustice in Indonesia. Previous studies have explored the vulnerability of village women to environmental degradation due to their multiple roles as domestic workers, farmers, and nurturers. It indicated the weak position of women affected by environmental conflict. However, the concept of gendered scientization highlights how the turn to science in dealing with environmental threats might result in gendered opportunities and challenges in collective mobilization by citizens. To deeply analyze and categorize the result, the method used in this study is thematic analysis. The data collection techniques used were in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and documentation of secondary data related to the study. The results show that women in the Lakardowo Village are driven by feminine urges and generational concerns to protect the environment to mobilize an ecological movement to protect their land. Others found it important to arm themselves with science when the broader social discourse portrayed contamination concerns as stereotyping women as overreacting due to their scientific illiteracy.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between climate change, agriculture, and the economic trajectory of rural Zimbabwe focusing on Mutoko district, a region that largely depends on subsistence agriculture. Over the years, the region has experienced a drastic reduction in agricultural production owing to the variability in rainfalls, long draughts, as well as extreme weather conditions. These climatic variations have resulted in lower output in agricultural activities, economic crisis, and increasing instances of hunger and poor nutrition amongst households and the economy. A qualitative exploratory research design was adopted, and data was collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation from 30 smallholder farmers in the Mutoko district. The study found that climate change has significantly affected farming practices resulting in decreased crop production. This has strained the economic welfare of the region and increased the rate of food insecurity. The paper concludes by recommending a need for improved climate policy, encouraging the adoption of climate-resilient farming practices, and appropriate assistance to marginalized communities as a means towards improving the community’s resilience to climate change and sustainable livelihoods in rural Zimbabwe.

Abstract

This study intended to know the effect of sodium selenite and zinc sulfate on the biochemical metabolites in the blood serum of sheep. The experiment was conducted on male sheep of the Kurdi ram and lamb breed in four treatments each as follows; Treatment 1: (control group) without addition, Treatment 2: addition of selenium at a level of 0.5 mg/kg feed, Treatment 3: addition of zinc at a level of 100 mg/kg feed, Treatment 4: addition of selenium with zinc at a level of 0.5 + 100 mg/kg feed for 90 days. The results were significant in the levels of glucose, LDL cholesterol, creatine, immunoglobulin M (IgM), and HDL cholesterol in the second treatment compared to the other treatments and there were no significant differences in the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood serum. The level of cholesterol increased in the fourth treatment compared to the other treatments in the blood serum, and significant differences were found in the level of albumin and immunoglobulin (IgM) in the fourth treatment compared to the rest of the treatments, and immunoglobulin level (IgG) lowered in all addition treatments compared to the control treatment in the blood serum. We conclude from these results that the addition of selenium and zinc mixture improves some biochemical and immunological properties in the blood serum of rams and lamb of the Kurdi sheep breed.

Abstract

The study assesses how the environmental factor influences the social dimension of the global green economy index. Covering the period from 1991 to 2023, the study utilizes a descriptive-quantitative approach with time-series data. It employs the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model in EViews to examine the connections between these variables and socioeconomic results. The findings reveal that CO2 emissions negatively affect life expectancy, while forest area contributes positively. Nevertheless, the use of renewable energy does not demonstrate a statistically significant impact on life expectancy. Similarly, none of the independent variables—CO2 emissions, forest area, and renewable energy consumption—were statistically significant for unemployment. The autoregressive term (AR(1)) is highly significant, indicating that past unemployment rates strongly influence current unemployment levels. These results emphasize the importance of addressing environmental factors to improve life expectancy, while also highlighting the limited direct impact of green economy variables on unemployment in Vietnam.

Abstract

The development of remote sensing systems is considered an important innovation in supporting the optimization of today's food crop production, especially the development of sensor technology that can capture detailed variations in plant information. On the other hand, Sago is one of the food crops that is considered to have the potential for development to improve the community's economy and increase global food security. The main objective of this study is to extract the morphological characteristics, morphometry, and distribution patterns of sago in the optimal harvest phase in non-cultivated areas. Very high-resolution Drone imagery was produced through recording with a flight height of 50 meters above the ground using the DJI Mavic 3 Pro. Samples of sago stand coordinates in the optimal harvest phase were collected through field observations. The characteristics of each sample were extracted through a visual interpretation approach and the nearest neighbor analysis technique. The results showed that the morphological and morphometric characteristics of sago stands in the optimal harvest phase can be assessed from Drone Imagery. Each sample shows the same pattern with the shape of trees, leaflets, and canopies that stand out in one clump and have 3-6 young leaflets. The average morphometric parameters of the optimal harvest phase showed low correlation and were randomly distributed with very sparse distances between stands (around 7 trees/ha).

Abstract

Access to clean and safe water is a fundamental human need, yet millions of people around the world still lack reliable sources of potable water. Educating high school students about sustainable water practices is crucial to ensuring that future generations are equipped to manage and purify water resources effectively. This review examines the importance of teaching water management and purification to high school students, with a focus on practical, low-cost methods that can be implemented using simple tools and techniques. The review explores various hands-on approaches to water education, including basic water quality assessment, filtration methods, and affordable purification technologies such as sand filtration, boiling, and solar disinfection. It also highlights the pressing global issue of water scarcity, noting that over 2 billion people still rely on unsafe drinking water sources. In addition to theoretical knowledge, students engage in fieldwork and laboratory experiments, where they test and treat local water sources, gaining practical experience with real-world water challenges. By the end of the program, students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to identify safe water sources and apply basic treatment methods for daily use, such as drinking, cooking, bathing, and sanitation. The initiative aims to foster environmental awareness, encourage responsible water use, and promote community-driven solutions to water scarcity and contamination, empowering students to contribute to sustainable water practices in the future.

Abstract

Green investment interest is a response to increasing greenhouse gas emissions that have the potential to damage the sustainability of life on Earth. This study aims to analyze elements that can increase Generation Z's green investment interest in Malang City, with social media platforms as moderating variables. The study used quantitative methods with Cochran's Formula technique to identify a subset of 100 respondents from Within the study from four state universities in Malang City. Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square is the test tool used in this study The significance between independent variables on green investment interest in Generation Z in Malang City was estimated through WrapPLS 7.0 software. The results showed that attitude, behavioral control, and green investment knowledge significantly positively affect green investment interest, while subjective norms are not positively insignificant to Generation Z's green investment interest. Social media platforms strengthen the relationship between attitude and knowledge of green investment interest.  However, Generation Z's green investment interest in Malang City, which is influenced by subjective norms and behavioral control, cannot be strengthened by the existence of social media platforms.
