Doctoral Dissertation Research: Co-management and Conservation in the Philippines: Community - State Differentiation, Conflict and Cooperation

这是博士学位论文研究计划助学金下的一个奖项。这项研究将对菲律宾三个土著森林社区正在开展的共同管理进程进行严格审查。它试图了解共同管理安排在什么条件下产生以生物可持续性、社会公平和社区自决为特征的结果。理论问题包括分层和权力如何影响资源管理实践。研究方法主要有资源评价法、人口普查法、半结构式访谈法、参与式观察法和二次数据分析法。这项研究将有助于社会学理解社区分化、资源划分、共同财产管理、州与地方的互动以及合作或冲突的条件。它还将改进与资源管理和环境有关的政策决策的知识库。除了这项研究将获得的科学成果外，这一奖项还将对一位非常有前途的学生完成博士论文的研究提供实质性的帮助。从而为国家未来的科学人才和下一代社会科学家的深入培养做出贡献。

This is an award under the Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research Program. This study will undertake a critical examination of co-management processes as they are unfolding in three indigenous forest communities in the Philippines. It seeks to understand the conditions under which co-management arrangements lead to outcomes characterized by biological sustainability, social equity, and self-determination for communities. Theoretical issues include how stratification and power affect resource management practices. The principal research methods are resource appraisal, censuses, semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and secondary data analysis. %%% This research will contribute to sociological understanding of community differentiation, resource partitioning, common property management, state-locality interactions and the conditions for cooperation or conflict. It will also improve the knowledge base for policy decisions concerning resource management and the environment. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a highly promising student in completing research for the Ph.D. dissertation. Thus it contributes to the future scientific manpower of the nation and the thorough training of the next generation of social scientists.
