Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change in Pastoral Areas

The warming climate and increasing extreme weather events are transforming ecological backgrounds, which is bringing new challenges to herders’ livelihood in grassland areas. To understand the practical ecological risks and the current resilience situations of herders’ behaviors and government correspondence measures, we built a conceptual framework of community resilience in pastoral areas, selected different kinds of steppes along the ecological gradient (desert steppe, typical steppe and meadow steppe) and took household surveys to recognize the difference in ecological risks and enhancing strategies in different grassland types. The results show that: (1) Herders in desert steppe, with the lowest precipitation and the worst grassland condition, turn out to have more experience in perceiving droughts and mitigating loss from disaster, but received the most attention from government assistance (28.0%) to getting through drought; (2) Typical steppe, with traditionally better pastural husbandry environment, suffered most broadly through droughts (85.7%) and have worst household livestock loss (26.7%) through snow storms; (3) Meadow steppe has the highest catastrophic snow storm ratio (65.0%) and affected ratio (95.0%), but the least assistance from the government (22.22%). The results revealed that originally high ecological vulnerability gradually encouraged herder’s livelihood adaptive capability. However, the government assistance and attention are more inclined to the local original ecological vulnerability. In addition, the increasing extreme climate events are bringing new challenges to adaptive knowledge systems of indigenous herders under good ecological condition. There is a clear need to combine the efforts of local pastoralists, policymakers and scientific community together to construct a more resilient socio-ecological pastoral systems under the global climate change. This research provides an in-depth understanding of community resilience in pastoral areas along the ecological gradient while facing the slow-onset climate change impacts. Practical recommendations on climate risk management and adaptation in pastoral areas are discussed.

Identification of Place Theory in the Mutun Beach Tourism Area, Lampung

Abstract. Mutun Beach, located in the Padang Cermin District, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province, Indonesia, is one of the natural tourist attractions with great potential to increase the local revenue in Pesawaran due to its combination of white sand, clear sea water, and various exciting activities offered. However, a significant tourist decrease has occurred, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the presence of competing beach resort developers, poor road access, inadequate aesthetic design, and poor waste management are also reasons why Pantai Mutun is becoming less popular. The collaboration of the "Place" theory elements is applied to maintain the attraction of Pantai Mutun. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with survey data processed into simple statistics such as percentages and averages to answer research questions and test hypotheses. The results show that the application of "place" theory elements at Pantai Mutun received an average score of 2.47, categorized as Poor. This condition indirectly affects the sustainability of Pantai Mutun, with the predicted gradual decrease in the number of visitors in the coming years until a critical point is reached where the sustainability of the tourist area becomes difficult to maintain. Recommendations include the consistent integration of "place" theory elements in every aspect of design and management, as well as increasing the involvement of the local community in the area's management to ensure sustainability and the relevance of the design to the local culture.

Estratégias Funcionais de <i>Byrsonima crassifolia</i> (L.) Kunth em diferentes fitofisionomias na savana do Estado do Amapá, Brasil.

The savannahs of the state of Amapá have tree species with great economic potential, widely distributed in a mosaic formed by different phytophysiognomies. In this study, differences in functional strategies among individuals of the species Byrsonima crassifolia (L.) Kunth were analyzed in order to understand the different combinations of functional traits exhibited by tree-shrub individuals across the environmental gradient present in a savannah of the state of Amapá. Four leaf functional traits and the maximum height were measured in each individual with diameter above the ground ≥ 5 cm within 24 500-m² plots distributed in three phytophysiognomies: savannah sensu stricto, ‘campo sujo’ (shrub-savannah), and rupestrian savannah. Functional traits of 198 individuals were sampled. Significant differences in the set of functional traits were found among the three phytophysiognomies. Individuals from the rupestrian savannah exhibited a strategy of greater leaf productivity, while those in savannah sensu stricto and ‘campo sujo’ exhibited a strategy of greater conservation of resources. Furthermore, there was a secondary strategy related to leaf size, with more conservative individuals with larger leaves predominating in ‘campo sujo’, and more photosynthetically productive individuals with larger leaves predominating in the rupestrian savannah. It is concluded that the rupestrian savannah can be considered a strategic area for the sustainable management of the studied species.

Analysis of The Maturity Level of A Factory in The Electrical-Electronic Segment of the Manaus Industrial Hub: Case Study

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the 4.0 maturity level of two variables of the “Products and Services” dimension, with the aim of answering the following hypothesis, whether the factory is moving towards implementing Industry 4.0?. Theoretical Framework: For Rodrigues et al. (2022), Industry 4.0 is in fact the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which encompasses the ongoing digital transformation in industries and machinery, that is, it is directly linked to the automation of manufacturing processes. The implementation of Industry 4.0 requires significant changes in organizational culture and work processes, Góes et al. (2023). It is understood that good management is essential in this process, since the way the company is run directly influences the results, whether positive or negative Góes et al. (2023). On the other hand, Silva, Lucas and Oliveira (2021) highlight Industry 4.0 as a milestone in industrial evolution, where the integration of digital technology with the internet revolutionizes production processes. According to Souza & Gomes (2015), maturity is achieved through the consolidation of general and specific practices related to a set of predefined processes that aim to increase the overall performance of a company or a specific objective. Rozenfeld and collaborators (2006) highlight that maturity can be measured by the amount of best practices consistently applied by the company. Method: This article is configured in terms of means for bibliographic research and case study developing subsidies for an approach as a qualitative research with descriptive purposes, obtained from the database produced by PIMM 4.0. The methodology adopted applied in this research is qualitative because it requires planning to evaluate the problem, data collection methods and analysis of results. Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that although the company has made significant progress towards modernizing its operations and meeting market demands, it is essential to continue investing in innovation and customization of products and services. The ability to understand and meet customer needs in an agile and efficient manner will be crucial to achieving full Industry 4.0 maturity. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified. Possible discrepancies and limitations of the study are also considered in this section. Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of Operations Management and Logistics (OLM). These implications may cover the areas of Operations Management, Logistics, Project Management, Information Technology Applied to Logistics, Strategic Management, Procurement and Customer Service. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by focusing on a strategic segment for the local economy, providing data that can positively impact the management and development of the sector in the hub. This sector is highly dynamic, constantly demanding technological innovations and operational efficiency. A detailed analysis of the maturity level of this segment can provide unprecedented perspectives on how these industries adapt to market demands. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the fact that few studies address the topic of organizational maturity in this context, especially in Brazil. In addition, it brings originality by adapting and applying theoretical maturity models (such as CMMI, MMOG/LE, or other frameworks) to a specific industrial environment, considering local and regional variables. The results can pave the way for future studies that expand the analysis to other companies or sectors within the PIM.

Microplastics in Urban Bird Feces: A Methodological Approach and Case Study in Mexico City

Microplastics (MP) are ubiquitous contaminants in diverse environmental matrices, including biota. Urban birds, such as pigeons (Columba livia), are particularly vulnerable to MP exposure due to their scavenging habits and proximity to human activities. This study developed and applied a methodology to assess MP presence in pigeon feces, starting with a review of existing methods for extracting MPs from organic matrices. Of all the methodologies investigated, a method was established to be tested, varying the reagent, using pigeon feces collected from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Azcapotzalco Unit (UAM-A) and 15 virgin microplastics of five different types. Of both reagents, it was found that the method with 50% H2O2 presented better results (degradation of almost all organic matter and recovery efficiency of 93.33%). The selected method was optimized before being applied to feces collected from three sites in Mexico City (n = 10 samples per site). MPs were extracted using a digestion process with 50% hydrogen peroxide, flotation test with CaCl2, staining with red Nile dye and vacuum filtration and analyzed by microscopy and FTIR. Concentrations ranged from 16.4 to 27.8 MP/g dry feces, with fragments (80%) and fibers (20%) being the predominant shapes. The most common colors were black (32%) and white (22%), the polymers identified included polystyrene and polyethylene and the most common size was < 1 mm (54%). These findings suggest that pigeons ingest MP during feeding, likely due to confusion with organic matter, highlighting the risks of urban plastic pollution to avian health. The ingestion of MPs could lead to malnutrition, organ damage, and ecosystem imbalances, underscoring the need for improved waste management in urban areas. This study provides evidence of the pervasive impact of plastic pollution in non-marine environments, demonstrating the potential of urban birds as bio-indicators of local contamination.

Ecosystem services-based planning and management of multifamily residential areas: bridging practitioners' approaches and residents' preferences

This paper addresses the realm of planning and managing greenery in multifamily residential areas. We uncover parallels between practitioners' approaches, residents' preferences, and the spatial attributes of residential areas that influence the supply of ecosystem services (ES). We focus on cultural ecosystem services (CES), the most directly experienced by urban inhabitants. Employing a multi-method approach encompassing a workshop for practitioners, a discrete choice experiment (DCE)-based survey of urban residents, and mapping of greenery attributes in Poznań (Poland). Our study underscores the importance of shaping conditions that facilitate bundled regulating and cultural ES. Practitioners recognise the role of greenery in the production of ES. This resonates with residents' preferences for predominantly green neighbourhoods, with the dominance of trees and some facilities for active recreation. Mismatches between opting for well-maintained greenery with some benches while neither the level of maintenance nor facilities for passive recreation are crucial for residents. Ultimately, we identify four types of multifamily residential areas reflecting varying degrees of resident preferences. These findings offer valuable information for the future development of multifamily residential areas, helping to design urban green spaces that respond to values and needs and, consequently, to increase the provision of cultural ecosystem services and support the regulating ones.

Navigating human–plant reciprocity: Commercial harvesting by professionals of a medicinal plant fosters multi‐actor landscape management

Abstract Studies of human–nature relationships increasingly recognise not only nature's contributions to people but also the positive contributions of human practices to ecosystems. The concept of reciprocal contributions emphasises positive human–nature relationships. But trade‐offs between natural elements implies that human favouring of one element (e.g. via the protection of its habitat) can be detrimental to others. Discussing the concept of reciprocal contributions encourages us to rethink human management of landscape by shifting from a primary focus on instrumental values associated with plant extraction, to relational values related to the multiple interests of human and non‐human actors. To study how relational values are integrated into the configuration of multifunctional landscapes, we focused on professional harvesters of Arnica montana. We asked what role professional harvesters play in the stewardship of their harvesting sites through reciprocal relations with plants, landscapes and other actors to shape the future of plant and landscape sustainability. We show that even though professional harvesters live far from their harvesting sites, they develop both a strong attachment to them, and an experience‐based ecological knowledge of the relationships between arnica and other plant species and the environment. This attachment and experience‐based knowledge provide harvesters with legitimacy in the eyes of other actors (e.g. cattle farmers, managers of natural areas, pharmaceutical and cosmetic laboratories) and allow them to play the role of mediator between these other actors and the harvested plant in order to influence the management of the environment—for example by burning, mowing or grazing. This creates a reciprocal benefit with this particular species, but also with other co‐occurring species. Integrating the interests of the harvesters with those of other stakeholders requires negotiation and the search for synergies between values. Synthesis and applications. Within the framework of ‘reciprocal contributions’, we argue that human engagement in reciprocal relations with specific species is read as a form of care that privileges the maintenance of certain lives over others; trade‐offs between plants but also between plants, animals, landscape and humans have to be incorporated in the theoretical framework.

Improving Groundwater Quality Through Biosphere Reserve Management: Insights from the Anaga Reserve, Tenerife

The Canary Islands, an outermost Spanish territory in the Atlantic Ocean, are renowned for their subtropical climate and significant tourism. However, substantial areas are designated for environmental protection, notably the Anaga Rural Park in Tenerife, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which is the focus of this study. This research investigates the influence of Biosphere Reserve designation on groundwater quality, a crucial resource for Tenerife’s population. We analysed the physicochemical properties of groundwater within the Anaga region over a decade (2007–2016). Our findings demonstrate that groundwater quality consistently meets regulatory standards, exhibiting no evidence of pollution. This high quality is attributed to several factors, including the low population density, limited tourism impact within the reserve, and crucially, the effective soil protection measures implemented within the Biosphere Reserve. The compact geology of the region further limits infiltration and potential pollution. The sustained high quality of groundwater, even in the absence of detectable pollution, highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring to maintain this valuable resource and support local biodiversity. This case study provides a valuable model for sustainable groundwater management and soil protection strategies in other areas of Tenerife and beyond.

Assessment of groundwater quality for drinking using the water quality index

ABSTRACT Groundwater is considered to be a safe and reliable source of drinking water in many parts of Africa. However, high population densities have led to its contamination with harmful pathogens. This study aimed to assesses the suitability of groundwater for human consumption, specifically drinking water, using the water quality index (WQI) in the Mufuchani area of Zambia's Copperbelt Province. Water samples were collected from six boreholes and 14 wells between June, July, and August 2023, and their physio-chemical and biological parameters were analyzed. Results showed that 95% of the water samples had elevated levels of total and fecal coliforms. Furthermore, the WQI was determined. Based on the WQI values, 5% of the samples are described as 'excellent', 35% as 'good', and 14% as 'very poor'. In conclusion, the groundwater quality in the area was found to be compromised and unsafe for human consumption without treatment. We, therefore, recommend water treatment of water from groundwater sources either at the household level or at the community storage points before it is supplied. Furthermore, we recommend public health awareness campaigns on the need for appropriate sanitation technologies, and behavioral change specifically with respect to fecal sludge management in the study area.

Screening of insecticides for management of the invasive Oxycarenus hyalinipennis Costa (Hemiptera: Oxycarenidae) population sourced from urban southern California.

Cotton seed bug, Oxycarenus hyalinipennis (Hemiptera: Oxycarenidae), was discovered in southern California in 2019. Surveys have found it within 160 km of cotton producing areas. While often only a minor pest in its native range, there are justified concerns that O. hyalinipennis could become a major pest of US-grown cotton. To proactively prepare for this possibility, 12 US-registered formulations and 1 experimental formulation were assessed in the laboratory for efficacy against O. hyalinipennis, using both contact and ingestion bioassays. Six formulations, consisting of acephate, dinotefuran, flupyradifurone, and imidacloprid with initial efficacy against O. hyalinipennis were used for subsequent dose-response bioassays. These compounds had LC50 values well below maximum labeled rates, although LC99.9 values often exceeded maximum label rates. Results indicate that if O. hyalinipennis infests cotton production regions, both selective and broad-spectrum options will be available for management. These findings establish a baseline for developing an integrated pest management program that can reduce potential damage from O. hyalinipennis, preserve natural enemies, and contribute to resistance management in cotton production areas.

Soundscapes as Conservation Tools: Integrating Visitor Engagement in Biodiversity Strategies

This study investigates visitor soundscape perceptions in Queulat National Park (QNP), Chile, to inform biodiversity conservation strategies amid rising anthropogenic pressures. By analyzing responses at two sites—Lagoon and Overlook—during peak tourist periods, this research examines how visitor experiences align with protected area management goals. A one-minute listening exercise was followed up by a survey to gather data on perceived sounds and their appeal. The results highlight the importance of involving visitors in monitoring acoustic environments, providing managers with insights into visitor-perceived soundscape dynamics. Unique QNP ecosystem characteristics emerged, with visitors identifying anthrophonic sounds as problematic, especially at the Lagoon site. Perceptions aligned with management concerns about noise impacts from congestion, showing visitors can discern when soundscapes diverge from protected area objectives. These findings underscore the need to integrate visitor engagement into acoustic monitoring to enhance biodiversity conservation. This study advocates ongoing sound level monitoring, protective policies, and tools derived from visitor input. It promotes protected areas as educational venues in order to deepen connections with local environments through sound recognition and calls for signage to inform visitors about noise impacts. Future research should continue to explore these strategies and the potential of visitor soundscape perceptions to reshape conservation strategies and support biodiversity preservation.

Legal Analysis of Criminal Punishment for Perpetrators of Illegal Mining Criminal Acts Resulting in Forest Damage (Decision Number 495/Pid.Sus/2022/PN Kdi)

This research focuses on the analysis of forest damage due to mining activities carried out without permits, which is considered a criminal act. Apart from that, this research also discusses criminal liability and the judge's considerations in imposing penalties related to forest damage caused by illegal mining based on Decision Number: 495/Pid.Sus/2022/PN Kdi. The approach used in this research is normative, involving a statutory approach, conceptual approach, and case approach, as well as utilizing primary and secondary legal sources from literature studies, with prescriptive analysis. From this research, several conclusions were found. Firstly, mining carried out without a permit in the forest is classified as a criminal act of illegal mining which is regulated in Law Number 3 of 2020 which amends Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining, especially relating to the management of forest areas without permits as stated in listed in Article 78 paragraph (2) letter , in conjunction with Article 50 paragraph (3) letter a, of Law Number 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry. Second, for criminal liability resulting from misuse of mining business permits which causes forest damage, the sanctions imposed are in the form of prison sentences and fines, which can result in imprisonment for six months and a fine of Rp. 500,000,000.00. If the fine is not paid, it will be replaced by a prison sentence of two months. This is due to the fact that the defendant was legally and convincingly proven to be involved in the act of "taking part in carrying out, using and occupying forest areas illegally".

Цифровое мастер-планирование — новые горизонты в управлении городскими территориями

The article discusses digital technologies that are involved in the development of urban planning documentation, and the digital master planning project was analyzed as an example of digitalization in this area. Digital master planning is an innovative approach to urban area management that uses modern technologies to create more efficient and sustainable urban spaces. One of the key advantages of digital master planning is the ability to create interactive and virtual models that allow urban planning specialists to visualize and test various scenarios for the development of a city. This allows for more informed decisions, taking into account a variety of factors such as social needs, economic conditions, and environmental aspects. In addition, digital tools enhance transparency and citizen participation in the planning process, making the urban environment more inclusive and democratic. The project "Digital Twin of the city of Moscow" is considered, which uses artificial intelligence algorithms to process a large amount of data, and then create and implement a model of a "digitized" twin. Large amounts of data, such as satellite imagery, traffic data, and environmental indicators, will allow for more accurate and detailed modeling of the urban environment, which will help optimize space use and improve infrastructure. In conclusion, digital master planning represents a revolutionary step in urban area management. It not only improves the quality and accuracy of planning, but also contributes to the creation of more sustainable, efficient and inclusive cities. In the future, with the development of technology and an increase in the amount of available data, the potential of digital master planning will only grow, opening up new opportunities for improving urban infrastructure and the quality of life of citizens.

Robots on the Rise in Parks and Protected Areas: A Scoping Review and Future Opportunities

Despite increasing visitation and importance, parks, recreation and other publicly protected areas are consistently challenged by insufficient management and monitoring resources. Pandemic conditions exacerbated these challenges and accelerated both interest in and implementation of management automation, including robots. Following the International Federations of Robots, robots are defined as an actuated mechanism programmable in two axes. The breadth of robotic applications and challenges in parks and protected areas remains uncertain, preventing informed management decisions. Thus, a scoping review was conducted to understand existing robotic applications in publicly protected parks and protected areas as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with them, as detailed in scholarly literature. Of the 2794 published studies initially identified, 171 were ultimately reviewed. With the first documented robotic application appearing in 2009, results reveal a growth since 2017 and the dominance of drones to survey vegetation or wildlife in parks or other protected areas. While applications have occurred across the globe, most work has been primarily in China or the United States and most frequently in parks, followed by protected water bodies. Data accuracy and time savings were heralded benefits of the robots by more than half of the reviewed studies, while robot-related risks were identified in fewer than 12%, focused on safety for both personnel and the robot. As robots continue to rise within the park and protected area management suite, we synthesize gaps and opportunities to consider for their efficient integration into outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism management and monitoring. Further, we share a path to move forward thoughtfully, with a critical assessment of local needs, robot policy, social acceptance, and professional capacity.

Hotspots of Global Water Resource Changes and Their Causes

AbstractIn recent decades, terrestrial water storage anomaly (TWSA) has experienced systematic shifts. Despite these observations, debates continue regarding the hotspots where terrestrial water storage changes dramatically and their causes. This study aims to address these controversies. Utilizing four TWSA products, this research analyzes TWSA's changing patterns and identifies hotspots of significant shifts from 1982 to 2019. The study employed the Bayesian Three‐Cornered Hat method to synthesize the best‐quality TWSA from original four TWSA products and the trends consistent method to identify regions with highly consistent trends. Subsequently, the elasticity coefficient method was used to reveal the causes of TWSA's dramatic changes in hotspots. Results show that TWSA has a declining trend over 66.1% global terrestrial areas during 1982–2019, with an average rate of −0.5 mm/y. The study identified six regions where marked changes in TWSA occurred, including Northern China, Southern Canada, Northern India, Central‐Southern Europe, Southwestern Africa, and Northeastern South America. Attribution analysis reveals that the leaf area index is the predominant factor affecting TWSA changes, dominating in 40.3% of global regions. Potential evapotranspiration (PET) follows closely, dominating in 39.8% of global regions. Meanwhile, only 13.1% and 6.8% of global regions are primarily influenced by precipitation and cropland density respectively. The dominant factor varies in different latitudes. Vegetation greening primarily controls TWSA changes in the high‐latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere. This study identified hotspots of TWSA changes and investigated the causes of these variations. Those results will offer direction for prioritizing areas in future water resource management.

Advancing Management of the Main Predatory Sharks Along the Argentine Coast: Leveraging Habitat Use Knowledge and Historical Catch Data

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the spatial overlap in habitat use among four key predatory species—school shark (Galeorhinus galeus), broadnose sevengill shark (Notorynchus cepedianus), copper shark (Carcharhinus brachyurus) and sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus)—along the Argentine coast to identify important areas for joint management. Leveraging habitat suitability predictions for these predators, we generated annual and seasonal maps to identify significant regions of habitat overlap. Notably, the coastal zone between the Uruguayan and northern Argentine coasts emerged as crucial for developing fishery management and conservation strategies for these four species. Historical catch data also identified important zones for recreational fishing and potential nursery sites, stressing the need for targeted management of the coastal area between Punta Rasa and Mar del Plata (36.3°–38° S). This highlights the necessity of comprehensive fishing regulations with stronger enforcement in the unregulated provincial waters of Chubut and Santa Cruz, as well as the Uruguayan coast. Our findings underscore the importance of integrating species‐specific ecological data in designing marine protected areas and conservation strategies tailored to the unique life history and movement patterns of these sharks. Additionally, the study emphasizes the need for adaptive, multijurisdictional management strategies to accommodate the migratory nature of these species across provincial and national waters. The implications of these findings are discussed within the context of current chondrichthyan policy in Argentina, presenting a foundational basis for informing future management strategies aimed at sustaining shark populations in the Southwest Atlantic.
