À la défense de l’éco-anarchisme : analyse critique des arguments contre l’écologie sociale et le biorégionalismePoisson, Alexandre 08 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire propose une défense de la pertinence de l’éco-anarchisme. Cette défense se fera à travers une analyse critique des arguments adressés à l’éco-anarchisme, ainsi que ses deux branches principales : le biorégionalisme et l’écologie sociale. Pour mener à bien ce projet, il sera nécessaire d’offrir un portrait détaillé des théories dont j’analyserai également les critiques. Ce mémoire commence par une présentation de l’éco-anarchisme, du biorégionalisme et de l’écologie sociale. Puis, il passe en revue les différentes critiques qui ont été émises sur ces théories. Cette analyse critique sert de base à la présentation d’un ensemble de recommandations, qui auront comme objectifs de pallier les failles mises en lumière par certaines critiques. Ces recommandations tourneront autour de trois objectifs principaux : soulever l’importance de confédérer les communautés ; soulever l’importance de créer des ponts entre l’éco-anarchisme et l’éco-féminisme et l’éthique du Care ; abandonner la branche du biorégionalisme. / This master thesis offers a defense of the relevance of eco-anarchism. This defense will be done through a critical analysis of the arguments made against eco-anarchism, as well as its two main strands: bioregionalism and social ecology. To carry out this project, it will be necessary to offer a detailed portrait of the theories from which we will analyse the critics. Therefore, the beginning of this thesis will be a presentation of eco-anarchism, bioregionalism and social ecology. Then, it will be necessary to establish a review of the various criticisms that have been made of these theories. Ultimately, this critical analysis will serve as the basis for the presentation of a myriad of recommendations, which will have the objective of remedying the flaws highlighted by certain criticisms. These recommendations will revolve around three main ones: highlight the importance of confederating communities; highlight the importance of building bridges between eco-anarchism and eco-feminism and the ethics of care; abandon the strand of bioregionalism.

Beskouings oor volhoubare ontwikkeling en die krisis in die natuurTreurnicht, Stephanus Philippus 30 June 2004 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / During the last few decades the need existed for a new framework to give direction to development and ecological thought in respect of the sustaining of nature in order to place development and ecological thought within the limits of nature. However, development thought and the debate relating to nature are to some extent still treated in theory and practice as two separate entities. One of the current challenges for sustainable development is to reconcile the development and ecological branches of this debate.
The thesis firstly explains the origin and characteristics of sustainable development. Secondly, the crisis in nature is discussed, followed by a discussion of the most important ecological views relating to sustainable development. Then issues in development thought that relates to sustainable development is discussed, as well as the changing emphasis in development thought that stimulated the growth of sustainable development. The mainstream development view, as the other main branch of sustainable development thinking, is then discussed. In conclusion, some issues relating to the operationalisation of sustainable development is discussed. / Development Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Ontwikkelingstudies)

Climate change mitigation: an analysis of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as an alternative domestic energy source to charcoal in ZambiaMutale, Oswald Levy 05 1900 (has links)
This study analyses the possibility of introducing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as an alternative domestic energy source to charcoal in Zambia to mitigate climate change. The study, conducted in Lusaka, used questionnaires, focus group discussions, interviews and literature study to collect data. The study revealed that the introduction of LPG is possible. However, some challenges need to be addressed in order to actualise the change. Lack of knowledge about LPG; non-availability of LPG in most parts of the country; perceived danger of LPG; high prices of LPG and accessories; changing people‟s mind-sets about charcoal; social inequity and lack of government initiative, were the main challenges identified. Social-Ecology and sustainable livelihoods were used as theoretical frameworks to ground the study and analyse the results. The study recommends that government takes the lead to make the change possible and that further research be done on sustainable livelihoods for charcoal producers and traders. / Development Studies / M.

An evaluation of the potential for implementing adaptive co-management in the Waodani social-ecological system in the Ecuadorian AmazonBryja, Malgorzata Anna January 2015 (has links)
Adaptive co-management (ACM), one of the most prominent management approaches to emerge in the recent years, combines iterative learning, flexibility, and adaptation promoted by adaptive management with the principles of nurturing diversity and fostering collaboration among different partners that underpin co-management philosophy. ACM has been proposed as an approach to address the deficiencies of centralized management in ensuring sustainability of social-ecological systems (SESs) in face of future uncertainties. This thesis aims to evaluate the readiness of resource users (the Waodani) as well as external actors (the Ecuadorian State and NGOs) for future implementation of ACM and thus enhancing the long-term social-ecological sustainability of the Waodani SES located in the Yasuni Biosphere Reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Qualitative data obtained by means of focus groups with the Waodani and individual interviews with external actors and Waodani leaders revealed different levels of readiness for ACM. Firstly, in the case of the Waodani, the insufficient fulfillment of some conditions required for successful ACM as well as intercommunity differences in regards to these conditions can complicate the implementation of ACM, unless sufficient external assistance is offered to the SES. The analysis of NGOs demonstrated, on the other hand, a relative readiness for ACM, providing that such aspects as sufficient funding, long-term commitment to collaboration, and inter-institutional linkages are strengthened. The study also found that the Ecuadorian government’s potential to contribute to ACM is hindered by the lack of readiness to work with the indigenous society as well as by funding and communication challenges. Furthermore, the resource based economy supported by the State limits the scope of innovation and adaptation. Still, as in the case of other actors, overcoming the challenges and transitioning towards adaptive governance and thus ACM could be possible in the long-term, if recent legal and political changes are truly implemented.

Memory, landscape and heritage at Ngquza Hill : an anthropological studyMuller, Liana 03 1900 (has links)
The main aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between landscape,
memory and heritage. It aims to establish that landscape is not only an inseparable
part of the intangible process of memory, but also the formation and perpetuation of
cultural and individual identity. The composition of heritage, including the
sociocultural and biophysical, is therefore a complex result of varying interactions
between memory and landscape, as perceived by the living custodians. The
intangible values of meaning, memory, lived experience and attachment, in relation
to people's connection to locality and landscape, are traced back to the tangible
fabric of place. Through means of qualitative and quantitative anthropological
fieldwork methods and an extensive literature review, the sociocultural profile of the
Mpondo is briefly documented. The subsequent case study explored a site in the
Eastern Cape on Ngquza Hill, where the oral traditions and memories connected to
the site are mapped. These elements were accessed through employing the theories
of mnemotechnics. / Anthropology and Archaeology / M.A. (Anthropology)
