Strategic stakeholders’ typology and mapping using stakeholder network analyses on integrated crops-livestock farming systems in West New Guinea

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Stakeholders and its network play prominent roles in development particularly agriculture sector. The involvement of many stakeholders and other parties shaped how farms can sustain in terms of economic, social and environment indicators. Exploring the importance and roles of actors become strategic and vital to recognize. Study was done in Manokwari using focus group discussion towards twenty various represented individuals, groups and mass institutions. The queries discussed concerning background, resources delivery, interconnectivity amongst actors, intervention and innovation. The finding is that the stakeholders in mixed crop-livestock are dominated by individuals’ actors who privately manage the farms officially has laws. These actors are commonly act like stakeholders who are positively important ruled the farms. The threats are real and exist and should be lowering as much as possible to mitigate the turn-back effect. The top five shared resources are access, satisfaction, power, knowledge and time allocation. Those resources will stay longer to sustain strong needs of the farms. The relationship of actors is dominated by positive similarity and the ranges of correlation are varying in between negative, neutral to positive. This is due to actors reluctant to deliver the intervention and innovation. Actors with low interest and low power should then be promote to high interest and power by using aids, guidance and services from each actor in mixed crop-livestock farms business.</jats:p>

“…These interactions have produced and developed local knowledge vertically transferred from one generation to another and/or through various social interaction networks (Berkes et al 2000;Calvet-Mir and Salpeteur 2016;Díaz-Reviriego et al 2016). The understanding of nature's contribution to people has recently gained increased stakeholder attention, particularly in considering future initiatives for sustainability (Iyai et al 2020), as understanding the diversity and utilization of natural resources are considered basic sources of information for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management (Joa et al 2018). Indigenous local knowledge, especially concerning natural resource utilization, is an important component of adaptive environmental management as it has been traditionally practiced by local communities integrating people and their environment in sustainable practices over generations (Berkes et al 2000).…”
