Advances in Social Sciences (ASS) , 2026, DOI: 10.12677/ass.2026.151057
Abstract: 在后搬迁时代，易地扶贫安置社区的可持续发展仍然面临返贫风险挑战。本文通过文献的梳理与回顾发现可持续生计理论在返贫防治中已有众多研究，并根据易地搬迁场域补充拓展DFID可持续生计框架。基于此以H市S社区为研究对象，通过数据分析发现S社区存在人力资本不足、自然资本脆弱、物质资本短板、金融资本缺口及社会资本薄弱等问题，分析提升生计资本所面临的挑战与风险。因此，提出构建人力资本强化、自然资本优化、物质资本升级、金融资本赋能、社会资本培育、政策资本调节、数字技术补充的具有针对性的防止机制，希望为巩固脱贫攻坚成果、推动乡村振兴提供理论与实践参考。
In the post-relocation era, sustainable development of poverty alleviation resettlement communities still faces challenges of relapse into poverty. Through literature review, this study identifies extensive research on sustainable livelihood theories in poverty prevention, and expands the DFID Sustainable Livelihood Framework with field-specific considerations. Using H City’s S Community as a case study, data analysis reveals critical issues including insufficient human capital, fragile natural resources, inadequate material infrastructure, financial capital gaps, and weak social capital. The research identifies challenges in enhancing livelihood capital and proposes a targeted prevention mechanism comprising: human capital enhancement, natural capital optimization, material capital upgrading, financial capital empowerment, social capital cultivation, policy capital regulation, and digital technology integration. This framework aims to provide theoretical and practical references for consolidating poverty alleviation achievements and advancing rural revitalization.

Abstract: This paper explores the perceived relationship between household poverty and forest dependence among the poorest residents neighboring Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. Using the sustainable livelihoods framework, this paper examines the influence of household poverty on forest dependence. The findings reveal that food and health security risks are primary drivers of forest dependence. Education security risks however, were found to have an indirect influence. Both food and health security risks were found to have equal influence on forest dependence. The economic security risks traditionally believed to significantly influence forest dependence were not found to have a direct influence.
GETTING INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS TO SHARE TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES TO WATER AND FOOD SECURITY

Octa Journal of Environmental Research , 2013,
Abstract: The depth of traditional knowledge found in indigenous and marginalized communities dictates the extent to which their populations adapt to and mitigates climate change much as the intactness of biodiversity of the agro-ecosystems on which they depend does. Often, a lot more is done to ensure the intactness of biodiversity than the effective sharing of traditional knowledge in a quest to empower indigenous and marginalized populations to adapt to and mitigate climate change. But the latter is equally important as the former, and the two ought to go close together in empowering indigenous and marginalized populations. Nonetheless, the effective sharing of a dynamic commodity as traditional knowledge requires an all inclusive approach which involves consultation with all groups as the leaving out or the limited participation of any group could undermine the sharing process. However, there are issues that arise in ensuring an all-inclusive traditional knowledge sharing process. Issues may be viewed as challenges or opportunities to the effective sharing of traditional knowledge, and arise as a result of cultural, political, economic, legal, geographical, technical, historical, and institutional differences (subtle as they may be) within/among indigenous and marginalized groups. Thus, this paper captures these challenges and opportunities that characterize the all-inclusive sharing of traditional knowledge within/among the different groups in indigenous and marginalized populations. And, recommends the best way forward by using competent actors who are self-motivated to bring all their competences to the facilitation of all-inclusive traditional knowledge sharing within/among the different groups for oneness of voice of indigenous and marginalized communities.
Socio-Economic Factors Affecting Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of the Vegetation Resources on the Islands of Lake Ziway, South-Central Ethiopia  [PDF]

Natural Resources (NR) , 2014, DOI: 10.4236/nr.2014.514074
Abstract: The study was conducted on the islands of Lake Ziway, south-central Ethiopia. The aim of the study was to investigate the socio-economic factors affecting the vegetation resources and the indigenous resource management systems and practices on the islands. Data were collected by field observations, interviews and group discussion. The island communities were engaged in diverse economic activities. The fishing industry was the main pillar of the economy as most of the income (75.7%) was derived from this sector. The existence of diverse economic activities had relieved the pressure on the vegetation resources. The natural vegetation was the major source of fuelwood, construction material, farm implements, edible fruits, medicines, fodder and bee forage. The islanders have maintained the soil and vegetation resources for centuries through their environmental friendly resource management systems and practices. At present, however, the vegetation resources are dwindling due to free livestock grazing, farmland expansion, soil erosion and tree cutting for various purposes, all of which are driven by human population growth. Since the islanders have high respect and trust for the church, integrating environment and development issues with this institution would be more effective. The prevailing natural and anthropogenic factors affecting the vegetation resources on the islands necessitate effective conservation and management interventions.

Abstract: Land use activities (LUA) have a significant impact on the level and situation of vegetation characteristics and in turn affect human population as they are considered as the main global environmental changes. This study analyzed land use patterns in three different locations in Khartoum, Sudan: banks of River Nile, Blue and White Nile. The main objective of the present study were 1) to assess the changes in land use and their impact on vegetation cover and sustainable livelihoods of the population, and 2) to identify the factors behind land use changes along the Banks of Niles, Khartoum State. The study data used were field survey (questionnaire) which revealed the existence of five types of land use patterns: roads, human settlements, agricultural and plantations farms, and industrial of brick-kilns making and investment areas. The primary data were collected through social survey (questionnaire) as face-to-face interviews with local communities in the study area and by observations. The secondary records during the field survey were collected from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Forest National Corporation (FNC) documents, scientific papers and annual reports. SPSS was used to analyze the data acquired from questionnaires. Results showed that agricultural land, and industrial and residential areas increased while forests and bare lands decreased as a result of changes imposed by the government and local population with consequent land degradation in terms of environmental value and productivity. Interestingly, it was found that the impact of land use on vegetation cover and livelihood of the population was very complex and dynamic and that the main influencing factors in this process were climate fluctuations and human illegal interference. For instance, vast areas in west bank of White Nile were changed from agriculture to residence and investment. In conclusion, land use requires a clear plan for optimum utilization. Various human activities are behind these changes, which have led to deterioration of forest cover and loss of the source of income of local population. Because of such alarming changes, decision makers should initiate efficient plans and management of forests to minimize changes in land cover, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. We recommend that a sound land use plan should be revised often to ensure rehabilitation, reduce vulnerability to desertification and halt the encroachment by construction of facilities and buildings at the expense of environmental issues.

Open Journal of Social Sciences (JSS) , 2022, DOI: 10.4236/jss.2022.109008
Abstract: This article introduces this special issue, which draws on research by an interdisciplinary team of environmental, health and social scientists to examine the ways in which pig farming in China impacts the environment, human health and rural livelihoods. It traces the evolution of pig farming in China, from early times when pigs were a crucial part of the household-based, integrated agricultural economy, through the waves of changing policies towards livestock rearing in the Mao era, to the encouragement of household pig farming as a means of rural development after reform and opening up. It then discusses concerns about the environmental and health impacts of pig farming and the policies that have been introduced to address them in recent years. Throughout, the analysis emphasizes the ways in which regional variation in environmental conditions and economic structure creates different local challenges and needs for targeted policy approaches that balance environmental and livelihood concerns.

Abstract: Taking the sustainable poverty alleviation governance as the research object, the sustainable evaluation system of poverty alleviation and governance is constructed according to the sustainable development level of poverty alleviation governance and the sustainable development ability of poverty alleviation governance. Using field survey data, this paper investigates the sustainable situation of poverty alleviation governance in 86 counties in China, and evaluates the effectiveness of governments and main responsibilities of at all levels of poverty alleviation governance. The study found that the overall sustainable development status of poverty alleviation governance at county level in China is in good condition or trend: in most counties is relatively strong, with an average score of 78.16, which reflects the remarkable results of targeted and precise measures of poverty alleviation. However, one-third of the counties have the secret worry of insufficient sustainable development capacity, and the sustainable aspect of county poverty alleviation governance in Northeast counties is generally weak, which needs to be focused on. In the post-poverty alleviation stage, we should start with the system construction, continuously improve the system and mechanism, and enhance the endogenous development ability of the poverty alleviation groups, so as to put forward countermeasures and suggestions.

Abstract: Well-managed forests are major sources of livelihoods for the fringed communities. However, the remoteness, inaccessibility of most forested areas coupled with conflicts from adjacent forest communities, who often depend on it for livelihood is a daunting task in implementing conservation, viz-a-viz the Sustainable Development Goals. The Mt Oku forest is a unique, remote but represents novelty in forest management in remote areas in Cameroon, with devolution of management rights. The forest is well noted for its high level of endemism. This study is focused on the legal, institutional, socio-economic and regulatory framework put in place, for appropriate conservation and livelihood sustenance as forest management rights were devolved to the local community. A multidimensional framework guiding the development of testable hypothesis that assesses the relationship between the forest users’ activities and forest degradation, which have a multiplier effect on the SDGs, was used. The alternate livelihood options/strategies and benefits after the institution of the Forest Management Project (FMP) was examined in randomly selected frontline and secondary villages. Selected Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools and registers from FMIs aided relevant data collection. The results indicated a significant relationship (χ2 = 0.65.4, p = 0.00) between the activities of forest users and forest degradation. Adopted alternate livelihood strategies/options include, direct employment, tourist guides, bee farming, agricultural intensification, agroforestry, capacity building for skill acquisition, selective exploitation and sales of Prunus spp. Forest regeneration strategies ranged from, forest guards, removal of exotic species, forest enrichment, raising nurseries, fire tracing, etc. It is concluded that giving greater access and ownership of forest to the local community in the Mount Oku Region, led to transparency, accountability and social stability, which contributed tremendously both to the recovery and conservation of forest for improved livelihoods. However there is a dire need for the reinforcement of mechanisms for capacity building to improved livelihoods and conservation and the implementation of a system where stakeholders enjoy favorable conditions for information exchange and learning.

Abstract: Migration is a complex phenomenon in both developing and developed nations due to its variation across regions, countries and over time, including its possible multiple occurrences in the life of a human being. Yet, little is known about the emotional impact of out-migration on the livelihoods of women who are left behind in rural households, Macheke farming community in Mashonaland East Province of Zimbabwe being a case in point. A triangulation of qualitative and quantitative research methods was used. The research methodology followed a multi-stage approach. At first, five focus group discussions were carried out followed by a survey with 596 household-heads to quantify the magnitude of the problem under scrutiny. Five in-depth interviews were also carried out with the aid of an in-depth interview guide. Respondents were de facto household heads and the majority was females. Fifty-three percent of the migrants emigrated for employment reasons and they were a mixture of both skilled and unskilled migrants. The employment rate of household heads was found to be low, with surveyed households reporting various on-farm and off-farm economic activities. Remittances were a major contributor to household income as a supplementary to migrant households’ livelihood strategies. Migrant households had higher ratings on their livelihood indicators compared to non-migrant households. However, women in migrant households had poor social integration compared to their non-migrant counterparts. The study made a recommendation on the need for institutions and policies that encourage saving as well as investment of remittances for sustainable livelihoods.
