Establishment of Community Managed Fisheries’ Closures in Kenya: Early Evolution of the Tengefu Movement

Community-based management (CBM) could be an essential tool to prevent the depletion of marine resources in the Western Indian Ocean region. In Kenya, political pressure to strengthen local governance, has led to adoption of CBM as a way of reducing over-exploitation and managing the competing uses and impacts on the marine environment. Several communities in Kenya have embraced CBM and have set aside or closed previously fished areas to enhance recovery of fisheries and biodiversity. These community fisheries closures (locally called tengefu), despite being degraded, may recover to finfish abundances and biodiversity levels similar to established MPAs or above thresholds for maintaining some ecological services. Communities see their direct involvement and control of these tengefu as more likely to result in benefits flowing directly to them. Community closures are also important for articulating and resolving community values and strengthening their management capacity. Here, we describe the evolution of the tengefu movement in Kenya and combine information from focus group discussions, interviews, underwater surveys and boundary marking to evaluate the current status, opportunities and challenges facing these tengefu. We show that in some cases community closures suffer from slow and incomplete national and local legislative processes, challenges to compliance, and weak management.

Investigating Causal Pathways Linking Site-Level Characteristics,Compliance, and Ecological Performance in Caribbean MPAs

A rapidly growing body of empirical evidence has linked improved ecological performance of social–ecological systems (SES) with better compliance with rules governing human activities. Researchers have proposed several key factors that motivate an individual to comply with resource use rules, including deterrence, social pressures, moral inclinations, and perceived legitimacy of rules and responsible authorities. Much of the research on compliance proposes causal mechanisms at the individual human level, but few studies test causal paths with empirical data particularly at the site level. This study tested a proposed pathway for explaining overall compliance rates and ecological performance in SES using data from structured surveys of community members, key informant interviews, policy documents, and coral reef surveys at marine protected areas (MPAs) and their associated human communities in the wider Caribbean. Findings indicate that compliance and other active MPA management interventions positively affect ecological performance, and site-level contextual factors (level of community development and being part of a political network) positively influence significant predictors of overall compliance rates, which include active MPA management and enforced punishments.

磁力摩擦式辅助驱动在TBM连续皮带机中的应用

长大隧道TBM(tunnel boring machine)施工大多采用连续皮带机出渣,当运输距离较大时通常需要在中间增设辅助驱动,以降低胶带最大张力,从而降低胶带强度。为了提高辅助驱动的工程适应性,研发了磁力摩擦式辅助驱动系统,具有驱动力大、无二次转载、胶带无二次冲击损伤、结构简单、故障点少、结构紧凑占用空间小、安装方便和配置灵活等特点。该成果可用于采用钢丝绳芯胶带的TBM连续皮带机、支洞皮带机以及其他需要辅助驱动的胶带输送机,并在山西省中部引黄工程TBM1标段成功应用,具有广阔的推广应用价值。     

基于系统集成理论的城市道路景观设计

在我国城市道路景观实践过程中,由于建造时序的不同,城市道路的“景观破碎、缺乏集成”和“豪华奢侈、脱离实际”,不利于城市系统的和谐发展。鉴于此,本文在深入分析城市道路景观建设目标的基础上,独辟蹊径从系统范畴的角度探讨了一种“集成”的道路景观设计理念,为城市道路景观的建设提供了一个新的思路。     

基于动视觉特性的高速公路景观敏感区划分

分析了驾驶人动视觉特性,研究了驾驶人的水平视野角度、前景视图、注意力集中点与最深视野随着车速的变化规律,构建了基于驾驶人动视觉特性的高速公路景观敏感区模型,并推导了景观敏感区函数。运用景观敏感区模型计算了双向四车道高速公路在不同限速条件下的景观敏感区尺度,运用景观敏感区函数获得分级结果,并阐述了不同景观敏感区的属性与景观要素设计要点。通过对比试验,研究了边坡宽度与一级景观敏感区尺度之间的关系。研究结果表明:双向四车道高速公路景观敏感区尺度为545m,一~三级敏感区尺度分别为55、260、230m,其中一级景观敏感区属于最敏感区域;进行边坡景观设计时可通过修正坡度的方法改变边坡宽度占高速公路景观敏感区的比重,坡度越缓,景观敏感性越高。     

景观设计要遵循自然辨证法

如何与生态过程相协调,尽量使其对环境的破坏影响达到最小的设计形式都称为生态设计.现代景观的生态设计反映了人类的一个新的梦想,一种新的美学观和价值观:人与自然的真正的合作与友爱的关系.在理论和实践上包括:地方性,保护与节约自然资本,让自然做功,和显露自然等几条基本原理.自然辨证法是关于自然界和科学技术发展的一般规律以及人类认识自然和改造自然的一般方法的科学,其研究目的就是为了合理地处理人与自然的矛盾.景观设计作为协调人与自然关系的实践活动,必然要遵循自然辨证法.系统观、辨证观和科学观组成了自然辨证法理论体系,本文从这三个方面对景观设计进行哲学的思考,以启迪思维,开阔思路.
