Recently however, participatory approaches have also received some criticism for their lack of rigour and highly empiricist orientation. Traditional modelling approaches have often been associated with traditional management paradigms in part because they are highly structured and systematic in their approach. Despite their perceived limitations, participatory approaches and modelling offer a number of desirable properties and strengths that can enhance both the practice and theory of community-based management. This paper explores alternative ways by which systems modelling can be adopted in a participatory framework. Combining these two approaches offers the flexibility, inclusivity and practicality of participatory methods, and the systemic, systematic and analytical capabilities of systems modelling. Examples of models that adhere to this hybrid approach are described in this paper.", "proceedingsTitle": "Improving the Triple bottom Line Returns from Small-scale Forestry", "conferenceName": "", "publisher": "The University of Queensland", "place": "Gatton, Qld, Australia", "date": "June 2007", "eventPlace": "", "volume": "1", "issue": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "pages": "273-282", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "DOI": "", "ISBN": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:108372", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "cognitive-mapping" }, { "tag": "community-based-forest-management" }, { "tag": "mas" }, { "tag": "multi-agent-systems" }, { "tag": "qualitative-systems-dynamics" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2013-02-21T21:03:02Z", "dateModified": "2013-02-21T21:09:20Z" } }, { "key": "RMIX9GQE", "version": 6, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 77157, "name": "Community Forestry", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/community_forestry", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77157/items/RMIX9GQE", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/community_forestry/items/RMIX9GQE", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77157/items/ZN4QK7P8", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 842839, "username": "RicardoBrownSalazar", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ricardobrownsalazar", "type": "text/html" } } }, "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "RMIX9GQE", "version": 6, "parentItem": "ZN4QK7P8", "itemType": "note", "note": "http://www.citeulike.org/group/15850/article/9973060

These management strategies should be regarded as hypotheses to be evaluated for their effectiveness in particular places. We evaluated the community-forestry hypothesis and the protected-area hypothesis in community forests with commercial timber production and strict protected areas in the Maya Forest of Guatemala and Mexico. From land-use and land cover change (LUCC) maps derived from satellite images, we compared deforestation in 19 community forests and 11 protected areas in both countries in varying periods from 1988 to 2005. Deforestation rates were higher in protected areas than in community forests, but the differences were not significant. An analysis of human presence showed similar deforestation rates in inhabited protected areas and recently inhabited community forests, but the differences were not significant. There was also no significant difference in deforestation between uninhabited protected areas, uninhabited community forests, and long-inhabited community forests. A logistic regression analysis indicated that the factors correlated with deforestation varied by country. Distance to human settlements, seasonal wetlands, and degree and length of human residence were significant in Guatemala, and distance to previous deforestation and tropical semideciduous forest were significant in Mexico. Varying contexts and especially colonization histories are highlighted as likely factors that influence different outcomes. Poorly governed protected areas perform no better as a conservation strategy than poorly governed community forests with recent colonists in active colonization fronts. Long-inhabited extractive communities perform as well as uninhabited strict protected areas under low colonization pressure. A review of costs and benefits suggests that community forests may generate more local income with lower costs. Small sample sizes may have limited the statistical power of our comparisons, but descriptive statistics on deforestation rates, logistic regression analyses, LUCC maps, data available on local economic impacts, and long-term ethnographic and action-research constitute a web of evidence supporting our conclusions. Long-inhabited community forest management for timber can be as effective as uninhabited parks at delivering long-term forest protection under certain circumstances and more effective at delivering local benefits.", "publicationTitle": "Ecology and Society", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2008", "volume": "13", "issue": "2", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "56-56", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol13/iss2/art56/", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "community-based-natural-forest-management" }, { "tag": "community-forest-management" }, { "tag": "community-forestry" }, { "tag": "guatemala" }, { "tag": "land-use-and-land-cover-change-analysis" }, { "tag": "logging" }, { "tag": "lucc" }, { "tag": "mexico" }, { "tag": "protected-areas" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2013-02-21T21:03:02Z", "dateModified": "2013-02-21T21:03:02Z" } }, { "key": "6JWP2WVX", "version": 8, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 77157, "name": "Community Forestry", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/community_forestry", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/77157/items/6JWP2WVX", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/community_forestry/items/6JWP2WVX", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 842839, "username": "RicardoBrownSalazar", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ricardobrownsalazar", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Porter-Bolland et al.", "parsedDate": "2012-03", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "6JWP2WVX", "version": 8, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Community managed forests and forest protected areas: An assessment of their conservation effectiveness across the tropics", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Luciana", "lastName": "Porter-Bolland" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Edward A.", "lastName": "Ellis" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Manuel R.", "lastName": "Guariguata" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Isabel", "lastName": "Ruiz-Mallén" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Simoneta", "lastName": "Negrete-Yankelevich" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Victoria", "lastName": "Reyes-García" } ], "abstractNote": "This paper assesses the role of protected and community managed forests for the long term maintenance of forest cover in the tropics. Through a meta-analysis of published case-studies, we compare land use/cover change data for these two broad types of forest management and assess their performance in maintaining forest cover. Case studies included 40 protected areas and 33 community managed forests from the peer reviewed literature. A statistical comparison of annual deforestation rates and a Qualitative Comparative Analysis were conducted. We found that as a whole, community managed forests presented lower and less variable annual deforestation rates than protected forests. We consider that a more resilient and robust forest conservation strategy should encompass a regional vision with different land use types in which social and economic needs of local inhabitants, as well as tenure rights and local capacities, are recognized. Further research for understanding institutional arrangements that derive from local governance in favor of tropical forest conservation is recommended.", "publicationTitle": "Forest Ecology and Management", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "March 2012", "volume": "268", "issue": "", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "6-17", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1016/j.foreco.2011.05.034", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2011.05.034", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "community-managed-forests" }, { "tag": "land-use-cover-change" }, { "tag": "meta-analysis" }, { "tag": "protected-areas" }, { "tag": "qualitative-comparative-analysis" }, { "tag": "tropical-deforestation" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2013-02-21T21:03:02Z", "dateModified": "2013-02-21T21:03:02Z" } } ]
