Full textConsumption has today become a large part of human life. Especially for young individuals there is a tendency to consume more to achieve a higher social status and create an identity through consumption. It was therefore interesting to investigate why young individuals consume despite the fact that they today has a high environmental awareness. The aim of this study was to investigate the consumption habits of young individuals and how their feelings are towards their consumption habits in relation to the current environmental problem. In addition three questions were stated to fulfill the aim of the study, these were stated as followed: “How do the interviewees understand their consumption habits?”, “How do the interviewees understand the environment?” and “How do the interviewees experience their consumption habits in relation to the environment?”. The theoretical framework consists of theories of consumption and consumption society in which individuals create an identity with the product they consume. The empire was collected through semi-structured interviews with eight people aged 18-25. The interview questions were based on different themes which referred to the interviewees consumption habits, environmental awareness and the relationship between them. The result showed that the interviewees consumption habits varies but that consumption is a big part of their lives. The majority of the interviewees consume things they found to be trendy, as they to some extent are affected by the opinions of others and what they see other people consume. The interviewees experience positive emotions while consuming initially, and then experienced anxiety about having spent money and thus have less money to consume further. All interviewees considered that a better economy had made it possible for a desired increased consumption. The environmental awareness of the interviewees also varies widely, all of which were aware of the current environmental problem and most of them feel anxiety about the future. However, there was a hopelessness amongst the interviewees as they feel that their involvement do not help in the grand scheme of things, which results in inactivity even for those who have environmental knowledge. Awareness of the impact of their consumption habits on the environment is low, and all believed that bad habits are difficult to break. The interviewees feel a strong desire to consume new goods and there is a constant fear of not fitting in because of a lack of consumption and that therefore outweighs their awareness of the negative impact of consumption on the environment.

Full textThe “Delta do Jacuí” Forum was created in the search for effective responses to the environmental crisis prevailing in artisanal fisheries in their coverage area. We observed that environmental impacts caused by fishing and other economic activities have caused the dispossession and the concomitant establishment of new territories and territoriality of fishermen. Thus, it establishes a context of conflict and territorial disputes that influence the content of traditional knowledge, which are then understood as territorial. At the Forun’s general meeting, occurs the dialogue of such knowledge with the technical and scientific knowledge, which can be understood from the worlds of life. This analytical process identifies consensus, dissent and ruptures among participants that dialogue about environmental management and shared management of artisanal fisheries. We consider that from this dialogue has established a territory of action of this forum, which is the noun territorial by arrangements that compose it, as well as corresponds to an initiative of shared management of territorial fishing.

Full textIn Brazil, the access to the genetic resources and traditional knowledge are controlled by Medida Provisória n. 2186-16, of 2001. This regulation wasnt able to contain the biopiratary, a practice that dates from old times, and whose incidence is bigger in the megadiversos countries. Cupuaçu, object of study of the present work, was the first case of denunciation of biopirataria involving a sample of Brazilian biodiversity, but beyond it, other samples of our biodiversity had also their popular names registered as brands by foreign companies, among them there are: açaí, copaíba and jaborandi. In front of the importance of the subject and the shortage of studies on the subject was developed the present research with the intention to raise, discriminate and to analyze a set of responsible factors for the occurrence of the practice biopiratary having as reference the study of case of cupuaçu. Among them there are: the lack of a law that configures this biopiratary as crime; the lack of fiscalization in the regions with bigger biological diversity; the bureaucratization generated by the Medida Provisória against the Brazilian scientific research; the limitations of the responsible agencies for the concession of patents; the gaps generated for the international legislation, represented for the Trips agreement; the economic factor, relative factor to the economic income that the first practice generates the companies and institutions which use genetic resources and traditional knowledge and the public politics factor, to necessity of politicians that value the traditional knowledge of the communities. For this combat, we consider forms of social initiatives and politics of conservation to biodiversity and protection to the traditional knowledge, where they are distinguished: the strengthening of the units of conservation, mainly of sustainable use for allowing to the presence human being, consisting in an important mechanism of protection of our biodiversity and the traditional communities; the multiplication of the project \"Vigilant Villages: a new boarding in the Protection of the Traditional Knowledge and in the Combat of the Biopiratary in the Amazon\" that aims at taking the aboriginal community a program with informative character, educative and makes counscious on facts involving anauthorized appropriation of traditional knowledge and biological resources of the Amazon, in a suitable language to the ethnic and cultural diversity of each people; the reflection and application of the Letter of the Pajés of São Luis of the Maranhão; the stimulus to contract of bioprospecção in Brazil; the incentive to the cooperation South-South (between countries of the south hemisphere). Moreover, we identify the necessary elements for the construction of the national legislation of access and distribution of benefits, suggested from the positive contributions identified in the foreign legislations of access and distribution of benefits; of the application of Diretrizes of Bonn; the construction of a patentss system sui generis; application of the proposals of the CPI of the Biopiratary, beyond the contributions gotten with the process of the cupuaçus case.

Full textIn the society of knowledge and learning the university is central for progress and social transformation. The university should be motor in teaching strategies that promote knowledge construction thanks to the possibilities offered by Information and communications technology (ICT). In this sense, personal learning environments (PLE) become a turning point in educational practices with ICT as well as an opportunity to promote a university without walls, that meets the demands of the society of knowledge and learning. The aim of this thesis is to study how to introduce ICT, and more specifically personal learning environments, in formal teaching and learning activities. It is an applied and action-oriented research which understands the introduction of PLE as a driving methodology of digital wisdom. For this reason, the final conclusions are made as proposals for action to institutions of higher education, university teachers and technology developers. As a methodological strategy and with the aim of understanding the phenomenon of study in a real context, we decided to study two different educational streams: the course Environments, tools and practices of virtual learning, from the Master’s degree Educational Psychology/MIPE coordinated by the University of Barcelona, and the course Educational Psychology, from the Bachelor of Educational Sciences at the University of Andorra. In order to expand the research conducted in the two case studies we have also analyzed the valuations of a large sample of students; on the possibility of incorporating to their present virtual learning environments (EVA) the key features of PLE.

Full textIn the last two decades, different fishing rights systems have been experimented in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve fisheries in order to orient natural resources exploitation practices towards the conservation of biodiversity. Overfishing is considered as one of the main threats to conservation in this ecologically fragile area, since 1989, when the communist productivist model was replaced by conservationist policies. Characterized by the multiplication of actors and knowledge production, the creation of the Biosphere Reserve of Danube Delta is challenging the continuity of fishing practices. Based on an analysis of the fishing rights systems experienced in the reserve, this work presents the degradation of fisheries as an area of uncertainty where social actors and fishing resources are redefined, explained, tamed and mobilized in the definition of new forms of ecological interactions between actors and resources. Indicators and proofs of sustainable fisheries are built on the ground, while experimenting different fishing rights systems. In a context of persisting illegal fishing practices and persistent controversies, fishing rights do not legitimate the introduction of more restrictive measures, and have a week capacity of changing practices. The approach developed in this thesis tries to go beyond the classical distinction between knowledge producers and nature users, by considering knowledge production, rights definition and social practices over nature as interconnected elements of the same process of nature appropriation. The perspective developed in this work is clearly confronted to the dominant way of thinking and doing in conservation policies, oriented towards a greater rationalization and the pre-formulation of a logical chain between measures, effects and outcomes. We show the limits of this approach, which should be primarily concerned by overcoming the distinction between "those who know" and "those who fish", facilitating the emergence of collective agreements on the definition of resources and their ecological status. We show that in the world of artisanal fisheries, the success of fisheries management incentives depends on their ability to take into account the diversity of knowledge, practices and critical capacities that local actors developed through resources appropriation practices

The purpose of this research was to understand the Society of Wilderness Youth Group volunteers’ environmental knowledge, environmental attitude and environmental behavior. The subjects were the Society of Wilderness Youth Group volunteers. Questionnaires were used to test a series of major elements environmental awareness. 60 questionnaires were sent to all volunteers in the program and 51usable questionnaires (85%) were returned. The topics addressed in the questionnaire included: environmental knowledge, environmental attitude, environmental behavior and environmental behavior intention scales. A number of findings came from the questionnaires including: 1.Environmental knowledge: The average percentage of correct rate was 71.6%. That indicates volunteers of the Society of Wilderness Youth Group who have studied in biological resources or agricultural college, and taken part in environmental activities scored significantly higher on the questionnaire. 2.Environmental attitude: The average score was 3.58 on a 5 point scale, indicating that the environmental attitude of volunteers was positive. Those who have studied the environmental courses scored significantly higher on the questionnaire. 3.Environmental behavior: The average score was 3.46 on a 5 point scale. It indicates the volunteers’ environmental behavior needs to be strengthen. Thus, in the questionnaire of the actual environmental behavior, the ‘‘physical action’’ scored the highest points, followed by ‘‘educational action ’’, ‘‘financial action’’ , ‘‘persuasive action’’ and ‘‘civic action’’. Those who have taken part in environmental activities scored significantly higher on the questionnaire. 4.Environmental behavior intention: The average score was 3.71 on a 5 point scale. In the questionnaire of the actual environmental behavior, the ‘‘physical action intention’’ scored the highest points, followed by ‘‘educational action intention’’, ‘‘financial action intention’’, ‘‘persuasive action intention’’ and ‘‘civic action intention’’. Those who have taken part in environmental activities scored significantly higher on the questionnaire. 5.In addition, the Society of Wilderness Youth Group volunteers’ environmental attitude, environmental behavior and environmental behavior intention exhibit a positive correlation. Finally, some suggestions for the Society of Wilderness Youth Group were proposed based on the results of this research.

The Society of Wilderness (SOW) is a private environmental organization that relies on volunteers to conduct public education and conservation activities in Taiwan. Volunteers are assigned to specific locations known as Environmental Observation Groups (EOG’s). Nearly 1,000 volunteer interpreters work at 40 EOG’s. Ideally, volunteer interpreters are knowledgeable about and emotionally attached to their EOG, and enjoy participating in SOW functions. Since volunteers play an important role in resource management and environmental education, more information is needed to understand their motives for participation in SOW. This study examined the relationship between place attachment, resource knowledge, and activity involvement in a sample of volunteer interpreters assigned to the Er-Ge Mountain EOG. Surveys were used to gather data from a sample of volunteer interpreters during July 2003. Forty-eight questionnaires were mailed and 45 were received, yielding a response rate of 93.8%. The following conclusions can be drawn from this study: Activity involvement is one indicator of interest and enthusiasm for recreational participation. The overall mean for activity involvement was 3.41. Three dimensions comprise activity involvement. In this study, attraction scored the highest (x=3.84), self-expression was next (x=3.45), and centrality was the lowest (x=2.64). Place attachment is an emotional bond with nature. It consists of two factors. The overall mean for place attachment was 3.40. Volunteer interpreters scored higher on place identity (x=3.77) than place dependence (x=3.03). A multiple-choice test measuring resource-based knowledge was administered to volunteers. The mean score was 14.91 (out of 20 questions). Selected socio-demographic characteristics were tested against activity involvement, place attachment and resource knowledge using t-tests or one-way analysis of variance. Gender, attendance at indoor seminars, participation in outdoor observation, and length of interpretive service were significantly related to level of activity involvement. In relation to place attachment, frequency of visitation to Er-Ge Mountain showed a significant difference. Gender, residence, attendance at indoor seminars, participation in outdoor observation, frequency of visitation, and length of interpretive service were significantly related to resource knowledge. The relationship between activity involvement, place attachment, and resource knowledge was examined using Pearson correlation coefficient. Results indicated that activity involvement was significantly related to place attachment (r= 0.622, p< .001) and resource knowledge (r= 0.318, p< .05). However, there is no significant relationship between place attachment and resource knowledge. These results were shared with SOW. Also, recommendations for future studies were proposed.

Full textThis research concerns the scrutiny of the relations established between adult immigrants and lifelong learning. In general, the existing research suggests that adult immigrants are at a greater disadvantage with respect to education participation. In order to asses it for Portugal, it was decided to cover a group of individuals from countries whose official language was Portuguese. Since this group represents the mainstream of Portugal’s foreign community. The research was shaped by the ever growing learning definition. It must be mention that such increase is related with the appearance of communication and information technologies. Even though, the theoretical orientation covers other dimensions, for instance, adulthood learning, immigration and disadvantage. To research into the target it was used the Methodological strategy of qualitative analysis (comparative-typological), since the in-depth semi-structured interviews not only grants a social insight but also imparts the individual feelings. The biographical interviews were directed by a defined set of environments and daily situations. There were 12 interviewees chosen using the snowball method, all of the participants at the time were living in Lisbon. From the results withdrawal, was possible to conclude that adult immigrants remain following lifelong learning practices acquired in the origin country. However, if induced by the environment there is a setback, since that the disinvestment outweighs the increase in the learning process.
