“…The focus of secondary industry areas is on the renewal of mechanized production technology and the reduction of raw material resource costs, and local residents' production and daily-life activities center on industrial land [52]. Tertiary industry-dominant areas are dedicated to the popularization of information technologies and improvement of human resources, and local residents' production and daily-life activities unfold around land for cultural, tourism, trade, and service purposes [53].…”

Industrial transformation has been regarded as an important measure to promote traditional village revitalization. Research on the spatial pattern and influence mechanism of industrial transformation in traditional villages is urgently needed. In this context, this study takes the 211 national traditional villages in Fujian Province of China as research objects and uses GIS spatial analysis and geographical detectors to analyze the spatial pattern and influence mechanism of industrial transformation in traditional villages. The results show that: (1) the scale of traditional village industry presents the characteristics of wavy growth. High- and medium-density cluster areas were identified. (2) Traditional villages can be categorized into three types, not transformed, to be transformed and transformed villages. These three stages of transformation have different features of industry development and different dominant industries. (3) The core factors affecting the industrial transformation of traditional villages show obvious differences at different transformation stages and spatial differences in coastal and inland areas. Therefore, policies and measures should be customized to local conditions to improve the development quality of traditional villages and promote the industrial transformation and upgrading of traditional villages. This study improves the research on the transformation and development mechanism of traditional village industry from the perspective of industrial revitalization in theory and provides experience and models as reference for the revitalization of traditional village industry in practice.

“…Human ecology is the science that originated from the discipline of ecology and applied to study human society and culture in relation to the natural environment (Kassam 2009;Little 2007). It also includes areas of ecological and environmental anthropology (Sutton and Anderson 2010). Vayda (1983) used a human ecological approach to develop cultural ecologies with a broader and higher approaches, with the inclusion of several aspects such as research unit, the problem of understanding the stability of units and systems, latitude of time, efforts, and money, so the results become significant for planners.…”

“…In the human ecological study, the population of a specific ecological system is considered as a unit of analysis (Hardesty 1975;Vayda 1983). Human ecologists give high priority to study resources, socio-cultural opportunities, and constrain on the livelihoods; consider humans as rational choosers; and the implication of political processes and historical ecological practices onto human-environmental interactions (Sutton and Anderson 2009). Human ecology is understood as "holistic, interdisciplinary, humanistic, spiritual, subversive, and connective one that is committed for synthesizing and transcendental studies; eschews chauvinism but accepts subjective reality and denies orthodox environmental determinism" (Kassam 2009).…”

This paper presents community interference on agricultural ecology against climate change impacts in Lo-manthang, Upper-Mustang, Nepal. The peoples’ response strategies are based on traditional agroecological knowledge. This study applied the human ecological approach (Cause ➔ Effect ➔ Response) to analyze continuity and change in the agricultural practice of the indigenous Loba community of the Trans-Himalaya. Data were generated through anthropological fieldwork using quasi-ethnomethodology. Qualitative data on changing climate was further supported by the analysis of meteorological records of last 40 years from the nearest station. The overall impression of the study is that the Lobas are hardly adapting to the dynamics of socio-environmental factors as climatic, geo-environmental, and politico-institutional changes. The strategy adopted to respond to the impacts of change on the local livelihoods is particularly associated with altering traditional agricultural practices. Indigenous knowledge-based systems of farm, labor, and resource management, accompanied by changes in food preference (food value) and linking agriculture with spiritual practice, are specific adaptation options, further supported by emerging options such as occupational modernization and migration. However, not all of these strategies produced positive outcomes in the local socio-ecological system of Lo-manthang. Therefore, policymakers should recognize Trans-Himalayan environmental uniqueness and its sensitivity to different drivers while designing policy to address them.

“…These labels of masculine and feminine activities need to be deconstructed based on the results of the research in this article. The variety of activities must be seen as activities that can be carried out by men, women, or children in order to meet the needs of life (Sutton & Anderson, 2010).…”

Peran gender adalah konstruksi sosial ketika aktivitas dan status dalam masyarakat dikaitkan dengan satu jenis kelamin tertentu. Artikel ini bertujuan memahami peran gender pada masa prasejarah akhir di Situs Gilimanuk berdasarkan pembagian kerja sesuai jenis kelamin. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan bioarkeologi dengan membandingkan jejak entesis pada perlekatan tulang panjang dari 42 individu laki-laki dan perempuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak ada aktivitas fisik yang spesifik dilakukan oleh satu jenis kelamin saja dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan sehari-hari. Hal ini menunjukkan konstruksi gender pada masyarakat nelayan prasejarah di Situs Gilimanuk.
