Local Participation in community forest management using theory of planned behaviour: evidence from Udon Thani Province, Thailand
The European Journal of Development Research, 2020Co-Authors: Chidchanok Apipoonyanon, Sylvia Szabo, John K. M. Kuwornu, Mokbul Morshed AhmadAbstract:Effective participatory management of natural resources is critical for long-term environmental sustainability and the well-being of the Local population. This study used the theory of planned behaviour to examine Participation in community forest management. Primary data were collected through household survey, and hypotheses were tested by using the structural equation modelling approach. The empirical results revealed that attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and self-efficacy are significant predictors of Local Participation. The results further showed that individuals aged 46–60 years, farmers and those earning at least 20,001 Thai Baht per month were more likely to have positive attitudes towards Participation in community forest management programs. Therefore, the government should consider intensifying efforts to engage these groups in participatory policy-making. Une gestion participative efficace des ressources naturelles est essentielle à la pérennité environnementale et au bien-être des populations Locales sur le long terme. Cette étude a utilisé la théorie du comportement planifié pour examiner la Participation à la gestion communautaire des forêts. Des données primaires ont été collectées par le biais d’une enquête auprès des ménages et les hypothèses ont été testées en utilisant l’approche de modélisation par équation structurelle. Les résultats empiriques ont révélé que l’attitude, les normes subjectives, le contrôle comportemental perçu et l’efficacité personnelle sont les prédicteurs les plus significatifs de la Participation Locale. Les résultats ont également montré que les individus âgés de 46 à 60 ans, les agriculteurs et ceux gagnant au moins 20 001 Baht thaïlandais par mois étaient plus susceptibles d’avoir une attitude positive à l’égard de la Participation aux programmes de gestion communautaire des forêts. Par conséquent, le gouvernement devrait envisager d’intensifier ses efforts pour faire participer ces groupes à l’élaboration de politiques participatives.

Local Participation in Transboundary Water Resources Management: The Case of Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe
2012Co-Authors: Joanna June FatchAbstract:IWRM-led water reforms in southern Africa have emphasised the creation of new institutions with little explanation regarding how the institutions can effectively engage with stakeholders at different levels, especially at the Local level. This is despite the fact that the subsidiarity principle, which advocates for water management to be undertaken at the lowest appropriate level, which can be taken as the Local level, is well recognised in water resources management. The main objective of the study was to investigate the applicability of the subsidiarity principle, especially the concept of ‘Local’ Participation in the Limpopo Basin at different (regional, basin, national and Local) levels. The study investigated how the SADC regional frameworks provided for Local Participation by analysing Participation clauses/provisions in the SADC Protocol on Shared Watercourses, the Regional Water Policy (RWP), the Regional Water Strategy (RWS), and the Regional Strategic Action Plans on Integrated Water Resources Development and Management (RSAP-IWRM). The appropriateness of basin agreements, as well national frameworks in relation to Local Participation in transboundary water resource management, was also examined. To investigate issues at the Local level a sample of three wards in Shashe subcatchment of Mzingwane catchment in Zimbabwe was selected. Data was collected through key informants, focus group discussions and observations. As a framework which gives a guide on how shared watercourses can be managed in the region, the Protocol does not contain specific provisions for Local Participation. The study investigated the specifics of Local Participation in the Regional Policy and Strategy, the basin agreements, and national frameworks. While the RWP and RWS were found to contain some provisions for Local Participation the implementation details were lacking. Provisions for Local Participation at the basin level, as represented by the Technical Committee (LBPTC) were wanting. Provisions in the suggested basin institution (LIMCOM) were not realised because of non ratification of the agreement. Submissions of Local people regarding how they can meaningfully participate in transboundary water resource management was based on practical realities: identification of stakeholder groups was according to water uses in the Locality; stakeholder representation was based on the ward with the district level forming an intermediate level to the subcatchment and catchment level. There was a desire for direct Participation at the basin level. The Local model challenges the existing top-down approach to Participation and shows how a bottom-up approach reflects the aspirations of the users.,WATERnet

Problematising and conceptualising Local Participation in transboundary water resources management: The case of Limpopo river basin in Zimbabwe
Physics and Chemistry of The Earth, 2010Co-Authors: Joanna June Fatch, Emmanuel Manzungu, Collin MabizaAbstract:Abstract IWRM-led water reforms in southern Africa have emphasised the creation of new stakeholder institutions with little explanation of how they will operate at different levels, especially at the Local level. A case in point is the subsidiarity principle, which advocates for water management to be undertaken at the lowest appropriate level. The main objective of the study was to investigate the conceptualisation and application of the subsidiarity principle in the Limpopo river basin in Zimbabwe. This was done by analysing how state-led frameworks at the regional, basin, national and Local level provided for Local Participation. These frameworks were compared to a bottom-up approach based on action research in three second tier Local government administrative units (wards) in Shashe subcatchment of Mzingwane catchment. The catchment represents the entirety of the Limpopo basin in Zimbabwe. Data collection was based on document reviews, key informants, focus group discussions and participatory observations. In general the top-down efforts were found to express intent but lacked appropriately conceptualised implementation guidelines. Views of Local people regarding how they could meaningfully participate in transboundary water resource management were based on practical considerations rather than theoretical abstractions. This was shown by a different conceptualisation of stakeholder identification and representation, demarcation of boundaries, role of intermediate institutions, and direct Participation of Local people at the basin level. The paper concludes that a bottom-up institutional model can enhance the conceptualisation and application of the subsidiarity principle. It also provides evidence that prescriptive approaches may not be the best way to achieve participatory governance in transboundary water resource management.
