“…Additionally, government regulations do not always reflect the views of the local community because it was not involved in formulating the regulations. Recently some countries, namely Nepal and Zimbabwe has been provided local communities with a decision making power in the protected areas, which both are quite success (Negi and Nautiya, 2009). Another example can be seen in Indonesia, as 'sasilaut' in Maluku province, is one example for preexisting fisheries management or local knowledge, in the form of marine tenure.…”

An understanding of traditional local knowledge and practices is widely viewed as critical for the establishment of sustainable local fishery management. Locals' perceptions of governmental fishery regulations, the use of local knowledge and local practices in fishery management, and fishers' attitudes toward cooperation with the government are of particular interest.The objectives of this research were to identify local knowledge and local practices in the fishing community in the vicinity of the Mae Klong River, Klong Kone Sub District, Samut Songkhram province, and to determine the fishers' perceptions about fisheries regulations and the use of local knowledge in fisheries management.An Institutional Analytical Design Framework (IAD) approach was used to evaluate how a management institution should be designed, by combining participation from local knowledge and local practices and government or other concerned authorities. Two different types of methods were used for field data collection. The first was interview and discussions with key informants (120 fishers) and the second method was dialogue between formal and informal actors. (10 participants, representing each villages, government official and other related organizations in the vicinity of Mae Klong River, Klong Kone Sub district, Samut Songkhram province).The study demonstrated that local knowledge and local practices by local community may affect traditional communitylevel agreements. An example could be taken from the case of local knowledge in the form of beliefs regarding the role of deities in protecting fishers from harm and the practice of securing blessings for better catches can be used to regulate the use of mangrove forests and other fishery resources. Local communities in Mae Klong River believe and respect the spirit of deities, in the form of The Goddess of River (locally known as "Phra Mae Kong Ka"), which is believed to be the protector of the waters resources and hence will punish the one who violate the River. Local knowledge, in the form of relation between spiritual and material which are still believed by local community, could be a basis for conservation. On the other hand local practices also applied by local community which some of the regulation had been assimilated with the government regulations.Mae KlongRiver Fishers believe that a combination of local and governmental regulation will increase the acceptance of fishing regulations and therefore be more suitable for local fishery management than government-imposed regulation.Government's support in the form of legal framework is an important point, as well as that decision on the fishery management plan should be made by the community, not only by the central or provincial authority alone.

“…Le tourisme a cette particularité de voir le consommateur se rendre sur le lieu de production (vers le produit), ce qui permet d'élargir la consommation des produits et des services sur les lieux visités (Zapata et al, 2011 ;Donaldson, 2007 ;Leon, 2007 ;Spenceley et Goodwin, 2007) ; les impacts, qu'ils soient positifs ou négatifs, seront donc largement perceptibles à destination (Brown et Hall, 2008). Pris globalement, le tourisme est intéressant pour les pays économiquement pauvres qui ont peu d'alternatives en matière de produits d'exportation et qui cherchent à diversifier l'économie (d'un pays, d'une région, d'une destination) et les moyens de subsistance des pauvres ou à augmenter leur participation à l'économie globale (Croes et Vanegas, 2008 ;Goodwin, 2008b ;Leon, 2007 ;Schilcher, 2007 ;Negi et Nautiyal, 2003). D'autres évoquent finalement que le tourisme crée plus d'emplois que la plupart des autres secteurs (hors agriculture) et qu'une plus grande proportion des béné-fices vont aux femmes (Cabasset-Semedo, 2007 ;Spenceley et Goodwin, 2007).…”

Avec l’adoption en 2000 des objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement par les États membres de l’Organisation des Nations unies, la lutte contre la pauvreté est devenue indissociable du développement. Bien que la plupart des analyses s’attardent encore principalement à ses dimensions économiques, la pauvreté est maintenant comprise par les chercheurs, mais aussi par les institutions gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, comme une notion multidimensionnelle complexe qui interpelle toutes les disciplines. En raison notamment de sa croissance phénoménale dans les pays du Sud au cours de la dernière décennie, le tourisme est souvent envisagé par ces mêmes acteurs comme un vecteur de lutte contre la pauvreté, dont le tourisme « pro-pauvres » demeure l’exemple le mieux connu. À partir de la littérature scientifique publiée en anglais et en français depuis 1995, cet article propose un panorama de la recherche traitant des relations entre le tourisme et la pauvreté dans les pays du Sud. L’analyse de notre corpus confirme que cette relation est rarement abordée par les chercheurs et que ceux-ci contribuent très peu au renouvellement du débat sur le sujet, laissant non résolues les tensions entre la conceptualisation et l’opérationnalisation de ces notions.

The design of Biosphere Reserves (BR) poses an interesting problem for systematic planning. It entails a spatially explicitly compromise between economic, social, cultural and biodiversity protection objectives, in a sustainable development context. The global network of Biosphere Reserves includes 563 sites in 110 countries. Currently the spatial configuration of BRs follows a nested scheme, where different land use regimes are assigned to zones in an ad hoc fashion, which complicates the evaluation of their effectiveness. So far in the literature, have not been designed to achieve quantitative objectives, which could limit their value for sustainable development. Using the newly developed version of the software MARXAN © , we solve part of this problem enabling BRs to reach predefined set of spatially explicit quantitative targets, while minimizing the reserves' overall costs (i.e. opportunity, implementation, land value, etc.). Our case study is the Pantanal Biosphere Reserve (PBR), in Brazil. According to our results the PBR could substantially improve its effectiveness if a systematic review of its objectives and goals is performed. Rearrangements of all zones proved to be necessary. Core zones for example, composed of IUCN categories I to IV, increased from its current 1.5% of the BR area to 18.5% to reach all objectives. The absence of quantitative guidelines from UNESCO for the configuration of BRs has limited their effectiveness. Our quantitative systematic approach provided the first insights into potential requirements for zone partitioning, prescribing 22 ± 5% to be allocated in core zones, 22 ± 3% in buffer zones, and 33 ± 4% in transition zones. The most useful outcome, however, was the flexibility the software offered to reach multiple objectives simultaneously.
