Pełny tekst źródłaZoological gardens, or zoos, keep and display wild animals, mainly for the purposes of education, conservation and biological research. However, it is evident that a significant component of zoos is the vast number of people who visit them, since without the support of visitors, zoos would not be financially viable and would cease to exist. This research investigates the behaviours of these visitors and develops an understanding of their awareness relating to what they see and do while they are in the zoo, along with their motivations for visiting. The study focuses on two major metropolitan zoos in Australia: Adelaide (in South Australia) and Taronga (in Sydney, New South Wales). A brief historical account contextualises changes, raising awareness of the significance of visitors to the livelihood of zoos. More and more zoos are integrating into their management routines different programmes that relate to the care and welfare of the animals. Despite recent growth in scientific attention, which has focused on human-animal relationships, little research has been conducted relating to the human visitor in the zoo. To date, decisions made by administrators have been based upon assumptions of the visitors’ understanding of the work of zoos rather than on actual quantitative findings. This empirical research is significant in that it uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to appraise factual data and information. The data from unobtrusive tracking observations at different exhibits, combined with the results of questionnaire surveys, are used to explore and assess the perceptions of visitors. In developing a demographic profile of the people who visit zoos, this work considers the motivations and the frequency of visitors. Various factors that influence the viewing patterns of visitors are explored to assess the popularity of exhibits, and the perceptions of visitors relating to animals and enclosures are investigated, to assess the diverse levels of satisfaction. Case studies explore the perceptions and understandings of visitors towards the use of enrichment items, the use of signs and labels, and a hypothetical approach to the feeding of carnivores in zoos. The results are important in that they contribute essential knowledge that describes the perceptions of a wide range of people who visit zoos, along with their expectations, since it is crucial for these institutions to maintain their popularity with the public.

Wildlife conservation has been standing out on the world stage as one of the major issues of our time. Several institutions are mobilizing to develop effective strategies and actions to prevent the extinction of endangered species. Among these institutions, we remark the performance of zoos in the development of scientific research and educational activities, participation in endangered species programs, and promotion of entertainment for the visitors, thus compiling its four main attributions. In that sense, the São Paulo Zoo, besides performing its traditional role, including several educational activities, also participates and integrates endangered species conservation programs, such as the Black Lion Tamarin Conservation Program (Leontopithecus chrysopygus), conducting research about biology and ecology of populations from Floresta Nacional de Capão Bonito (Capão Bonito National Forest, São Paulo State). In this context, we developed in the present work a participatory educational process for planning and implementation of a space that educates at São Paulo Zoo about the black lion tamarin conservation. The research was conducted in a qualitative approach based on a participatory framework and using the participatory-actionresearch as a critical environmental education framework, intended to produce knowledge (research scope) to develop and implement a space that educates (action scope) from the participation of 23 professionals and 65 visitors (participation scope). In that sense, the research presents a procedural nature and was developed in four stages: Moment I - participatory diagnosis of the knowledge about the black lion tamarin from conducting individual interviews with São Paulo Zoo professionals and visitors; Moment II - two focal groups with the staff of the Zoo’s Education and Diffusion Division (DED) and Technical Team (ET) to elaborate the educational space proposal; Moment III: dialogue between the Zoo’s DED, ET, Engineering Division and Administrative Board for the space that educates implementation; Moment IV: reflexive analysis of the elaboration and implementation processes from focal groups with DED and ET, and participatory creation of manuals for the space. From the data obtained in the Moment I, it was possible to establish categories related to the structures and educational actions that would be implemented in the space that educates, which emerged from the dialogic process established between the participants and the researcher. Based on these categories, during the Moment II an educational proposal was developed containing the structural and educational features of the new space, consisting of four thematic kiosks, 23 panels, two educational games and a puppets theatre play about the species. In the Moment III, we observed a stronger participation of the São Paulo Zoo Technical Team at various stages of the implementation process, from the elaboration of visual and textual communication elements, to the building processes. In addition, as a consequence of this strengthening, the participants suggested and developed, in a participatory way, two manuals about the space aimed for environmental educators. Finally, during the Moment IV we observed that the use of participatory methodologies contributed to improve and strengthen the development of the space that educates, once the participants came to be regarded as subjects who share bonds to interpret the reality, and the dialogue established is linked to collective action in order to transform the socio-environmental problem in question, namely, the conservation of the black lion tamarin. We hope that the present research will contribute to the field of environmental education research in zoos and also to black lion tamarin conservation strategies, since it highlights the fact that it is possible to perform a participatory, reflective, cooperative and liberating practice.
A conservação da fauna silvestre vem se destacando no cenário mundial como uma das maiores problemáticas da atualidade. Diversas instituições estão se mobilizando para elaborar estratégias e ações eficazes para evitar a extinção de espécies ameaçadas. Dentre essas instituições, observamos a atuação dos zoológicos no desenvolvimento de pesquisas científicas, na participação em programas de conservação de espécies ameaçadas, na elaboração de ações educativas e na promoção do lazer e entretenimento do público visitante, compilando as suas quatro principais missões. Nesse contexto, a Fundação Parque Zoológico de São Paulo (FPZSP), além de realizar uma série de ações educativas com o público visitante, também participa e integra programas de conservação de espécies ameaçadas, como o Programa Estadual de Conservação do Mico-leãopreto (Leontopithecus chrysopygus), desenvolvendo pesquisas sobre a biologia e a ecologia de algumas populações da Floresta Nacional de Capão Bonito (SP). Sendo assim, o objetivo da presente pesquisa foi desenvolver um processo educativo participativo para a elaboração e implementação de um espaço educador na FPZSP, visando à conservação do mico-leão-preto. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em uma abordagem qualitativa, com base nos pressupostos da educação ambiental crítica, especificamente da Pesquisa-Ação-Participante, uma vez que teve a intenção de produzir conhecimento (âmbito da pesquisa) para planejar e implementar um espaço educador (âmbito da ação) a partir do envolvimento e participação de 23 profissionais e 65 visitantes da FPZSP (âmbito da participação). Nesse sentido, a investigação apresentou um caráter processual e foi desenvolvida em quatro momentos: Momento I: diagnóstico participativo sobre conhecimentos e saberes em relação à espécie a partir da realização de entrevistas individuais com os profissionais e visitantes da FPZSP; Momento II: realização de dois grupos focais com a equipe da Divisão de Educação e Difusão (DED) e Equipe Técnica (ET) para elaboração participativa da proposta educativa do espaço; Momento III: atuação e diálogo entre a DED, ET, Divisão de Engenharia e Diretoria Administrativa para a implementação do espaço educador; Momento IV: análise reflexiva do processo de elaboração e implementação a partir de grupos focais com a equipe da DED e ET e criação participativa de materiais educativos sobre o espaço educador. A partir dos dados obtidos no Momento I foi possível estabelecer categorias relacionadas às estruturas e às ações educativas que seriam implementadas no espaço educador, as quais emergiram do processo dialógico estabelecido entre os participantes e a mestranda. Com base nessas categorias, elaboramos no Momento II uma proposta educativa contendo as características estruturais e educativas do novo espaço, o qual foi constituído por quatro quiosques temáticos, 23 painéis, dois jogos educativos e uma peça teatral de fantoches sobre a espécie. No Momento III da pesquisa, observamos o fortalecimento da participação da equipe técnica da FPZSP em diversas etapas do processo de implementação, desde a elaboração da comunicação visual e textual dos elementos educativos, até os processos operacionais de construção de estruturas. Além disso, a partir desse fortalecimento, a própria equipe participante sugeriu e elaborou, de forma participativa, dois materiais educativos sobre o espaço educador destinados à educadoras/es ambientais. Por fim, observamos durante o Momento IV que o uso de metodologias participativas contribuiu para enriquecer e fortalecer o processo de elaboração do espaço educador, uma vez que os participantes passaram a ser considerados como sujeitos que partilham laços para interpretar a realidade, de forma que esse diálogo está vinculado à ação coletiva para transformação da problemática socioambiental em questão, qual seja, a conservação do mico-leão-preto. Esperamos que a investigação contribua para o campo da pesquisa em educação ambiental em zoológicos e para as estratégias de conservação do mico-leão-preto, ao ressaltar que é possível realizar uma prática participativa, reflexiva, cooperativa e libertadora.

This research is to develop a stress analysis method for a novel zoom lens system with a soft polymer materials, PDMS(Polydimethyslsiloxane). This analysis method can predict deformation of elastmer and effective focal length (EFL) of soft PDMS lens after activating by pneumatic pressure. In order to construct the numerical stress analysis method, a detailed characterization of PDMS property is required. The research first focuses on the test of mechanical and optical properties of PDMS, including Young’s modulus, refractive index and Abbe number. Then the lens profile and soft zoom lens system can be designed. Deformation of PDMS lens can by analyzed by ANSYS with materials parameters and lens design model. Finally, the soft PDMS lens is fabricated and assembled into zoom system to measure the deformation and EFL. From experimental results, the error of deformation between simulation and experiments is below 15% and the EFL of soft zoom lens with PDMS plano-convex lens can change from 63.46 mm to 112.87mm as the pressure activated from 0 to 0.0125MPa. Future work can integrate the design of soft PDMS lens into the lens of mobile phones and cameras, as well as the imagine system of minis devices.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an analytical technique that com-bines the technology and experience of people in identifying foreseeable failure modes of a product or process and planning for its elimination. FMEA attempts to detect the potential product-related or process-related failure modes. The technique is used to an-ticipate cause of failure and prevent them from happening. FMEA uses occurrence and detection probability criteria in conjunction with sever-ity criteria to develop risk prioritization numbers for prioritization of corrective action consideration. The use of FMEA in both the product and process areas of manufacturing is more important today than it has ever been. This thesis is a practical application, which applies FMEA technique to the manu-facture process to a new product of zoom lens mold. In FMEA process, we identify the potential failure (risk) mode of the zoom lens mold development and quantify its risk by evaluating its corresponding the possibility of occurrence, its impact if risk occurred, and its detect ability. Then we calculate each risk priority number (RPN), and develop the correct action for the high RPN modes. By applying FMEA to the zoom lens mold development, some conclusions are discussed and the database of results of is con-structed.

The study aims to understand and explore customer’s perceived value, satisfaction and willingness to revisit for Kaohsiung Zoo as well as the relationship among the three. By randomly sampling 298 visitors in Kaohsiung Shoushan Zoo, the study uses modified perceived value scale, satisfaction scale and willingness to revisit scale as measurement tools. With statistics methods, such as statistics description, reliability analysis, factor analysis, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson related and stepwise regression, the study analyzes the results and find: (1) Visitors of Kaohsiung Shoushan Zoo felt good in terms of customer perceived value, satisfaction and willingness to revisit. (2) It is statistically significant for tourists with different age and different level of education in terms of customer perceived value. (3) It is statistically significant for tourists with different monthly income, marital status, age, sex, level of education and occupation in terms of customer satisfaction. (4) Customer perceived value has significant impact on visitors’ satisfaction and willingness to revisit; in return, customer satisfaction has significant impact on their willingness to revisit. In line with the results, the study proposals that Kaohsiung Zoo operators improve visitors’ overall value and satisfaction and therefore enhance their willingness to revisit by strengthening and improving parks service and landscape maintenance, enhancing staff education and training, and combining other travel packages.

Pełny tekst źródłaEnvironment enrichment (EE) is a recent concept. However its recognition had been considerably increasing and its practice has been branching out, adapting it for each particular species. We can define environment enrichment as a practice aiming to grant improved conditions to captive animals, as it develops behavioural opportunities to mimic wild life. Implementation of many varieties of enrichment is now a standard routine worldwide in recovery centers, zoos and laboratories, as also public opinion demand better conditions for animals and law stipulate its practice. The aim of this study is to test if individuals of three non-human primate species at Maia’s Zoo (gibbons, N=2; Mona monkeys, N=2; brown lemurs, N=2) need environmental enrichment ad if the devices implemented reduce boredom and apathy, symptoms that captive animals are more prom to. The apparatus here presented acts as a cognitive stimulus and feeding enrichment. Also, to prove its applicability the type of enrichment device chosen must be easy, simple and inexpensive to build. With this in mind, the feeding devices given to the subjects of this study consist in food-filed small pieces of bamboo canes and a wire box filled with fruits and straw. The results of the present study show that the subjects did indeed need EE intervention, as inactivity was reduced in the three groups and abnormal behaviours was decreased in brown lemurs. It is clear that the effect of an enriching foraging strategy depends on the species and its individuals’ personalities, which are important aspects that should be taken into account when designed and maintained EE programs. EE technique should be planned according to the expected effect and at the same time, we must provide opportunities for the animals to manipulate the devices and choose when to do that. Enrichment effect may not be immediate so we must be ‘patient’ with its use. Future projects should include a larger number of individuals.
O enriquecimento ambiental é um conceito recente. No entanto, o seu reconhecimento foi aumentando consideravelmente e sua prática foi ramificando-se, adaptando-se para cada espécie em particular. O enriquecimento ambiental tem como objetivo conceder melhores condições para animais em cativeiro, desenvolvendo oportunidades para aproximar o comportamento destes ao comportamento natural das espécies em habitat natural. Muitas variedades de enriquecimento são agora uma rotina em centros de recuperação, zoológicos e laboratórios a nível mundial, à medida que a opinião pública exige melhores condições para os animais e a lei estipula a sua prática. O objetivo deste estudo é testar se os indivíduos de três espécies de primatas não-humanos no Zoo da Maia (Gibões (N = 2), macacos Mona (N = 2) e lémures castanhos (N = 2)) precisam de enriquecimento ambiental, assim como se os dispositivos implementados pelo estudo reduziram o tédio e apatia, sintomas que aos quais os animais de cativeiro são expostos. Os dispositivos apresentados aqui atuam como um estímulo cognitivo e enriquecimento alimentar. Além disso, para provar a sua aplicabilidade, o tipo de dispositivo de enriquecimento escolhido deve ser fácil, simples e barato de construir. Com isto em mente, o dispositivo de alimentação dado aos indivíduos neste estudo consiste pequenos pedaços de canas de bambu enchidos com pasta alimentar e uma caixa de arame com frutas e palha. Os resultados do presente estudo mostram que os sujeitos necessitam de intervenção de enriquecimento ambiental, sendo que a inatividade foi reduzida nos três grupos e os comportamentos anormais diminuíram nos lémures castanhos. Torna-se claro que o efeito de uma estratégia enriquecedora de alimentação depende da espécie e da personalidades de seus indivíduos, aspetos importantes que devem ser tomados em conta quando concebidos e mantidos este género de programas. A técnica deve ser planejada de acordo com o efeito esperado mas mesmo tempo, devemos dar oportunidades para os animais de escolherem quando e como manipular os dispositivos. Efeito de enriquecimento pode não ser imediato, por isso devemos ser "pacientes" com a sua utilização. Projetos futuros deverão incluir um número maior de indivíduos.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe objective of this research is to investigate the relationships between local or First Nation people in Canada and wolverines, in different study areas and an ex-situ conservation site. In doing so, we hope to improve our understanding of these relationships and interactions with this species in order to adapt management policies and improve their fit with society’s needs and the local socio-cultural context. On the one hand, this study explores relations between First Nation peoples and the wolverine as well as the perceptions and social representations of this species by different societal groups (Elders, hunters, trappers, Indigenous/non-Indigenous children). On the other hand, it tries to understand the role played by wolverines in the context of ex-situ conservation (i.e. in a zoo) and knowledge and motivation by the public towards the protection of this species. We addressed these goals through the use of multiple different methods: semi-directed interviews, questionnaires, drawings, and participant observation, and applied these techniques in three separate study sites, both with and without wolverines. For example, we studied human-wolverine interactions in the North Slave region of the Northwest Territories with Indigenous populations (Dene and Métis First Nations), where people share the land with wolverines, gathering information from both adults and children alike. We then contrasted the knowledge and perceptions of these children with those of a second group that no longer have regular contact with this species, the Naskapi Nation in northern Quebec. Finally, at the St Félicien Zoo in Quebec, we qualitatively assessed the willingness of the general public to support conservation measures for this carnivorous species. Results indicated that Dene and Métis First Nations have a very deep knowledge of this species, which they admire and respect, which emphasized the importance of participation by First Nation peoples in the implementation of conservation programs for this species. In analyzing children's knowledge and perceptions, we found that while many children possess a basic knowledge about wolverines, there are numerous gaps in that knowledge which, if filled, may benefit future conservation efforts. Despite these gaps, the wolverine was relatively well represented in drawings by children, though their ecological role may remain be cloudy to some, and differences in their portrayal were apparent among territories/provinces in which children live. Data collected in the zoo indicate that the general public, in a region where wolverines have become extirpated, lack some general knowledge about this species and that the level of knowledge is not equal across the greater public. Promisingly, exposure to wolverines at the zoo or through children's camps does seem to promote positive attitudes towards this species and foster support for their conservation. These results shows that there is a need for increased awareness and public information programs for wolverine conservation, particularly in areas where new management programs may be implemented, to increase social acceptance of this species and raise public knowledge about this misunderstood carnivore. An integration of local populations, both children and adults, is necessary for a better legibility of management of the animal; as well as the valorization of traditional knowledge and its integration in scientific research. For the success of a species management program, it is inevitable to ask the people what they want and support the project. This study emphasizes the importance of participation by local populations, both adults and children, in conservation management plans for their success. Additionally, greater value should be assigned to traditional knowledge and its integration into scientific research. Finally, conservation programs must acknowledge the desires of the local populations and work together with local stakeholders if they wish to succeed.
