Migration, Culture, and Marine Resources Management in Palawan, Philippines

这个试点项目涉及亚利桑那州立大学的一名文化人类学家的研究，他在夏季对菲律宾巴拉望的迁徙、文化和海洋资源管理之间的关系进行了实地研究。其主要目的是为随后提交一项更大的提案奠定基础，该提案探讨在何种条件下可以促使近期移民和长期当地居民采取旨在保护海洋资源免遭不可持续的开采的合作管理做法。夏季期间，三名研究人员(两名由其他来源资助)将参加一个规划讲习班，对捕鱼活动、国际资本在当地渔业中的作用以及当地对渔业危机的定义进行基本的人种学调查。这项研究应该使研究人员能够准备一个改进的研究设计，以促进我们对世界这一重要区域环境退化原因的理解。

9909703Eder This pilot project involves the research of a cultural anthropologist from Arizona State University conducting summer field research on the relationships between migration, culture and the management of marine resources in Palawan, the Philippines. The chief aim is to lay the groundwork for the subsequent submission of a larger proposal that explores the conditions under which both recent migrants and long-term local residents may be motivated to adopt cooperative management practices designed to protect marine resources from unsustainable levels of exploitation. During the summer the three researchers (two funded from other sources) will participate in a planning workshop, conduct basic ethnographic inquiry on fishing activities, the role of international capital in the local fishing industry, and the local definitions of the crisis in the fishery. This research should allow the investigators to prepare an improved research design that should advance our understanding of the causes of environmental degradation in this important region of the world.
