Land-use related innovations and knowledge flows (SOSI A)
Project
Project code: 0330797
Contract period: 01.06.2007
- 31.12.2010
Budget: 159,560 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
The subproject aims at organisational development for a relevant knowledge system of the Naban He Nature Reserve. Organisational development hereby is seen as influencing institutions, structures and processes of generation, dissemination and use of knowledge. Based on an analysis of former and present land-use problems the factors and framework conditions for the adoption and dissemination of innovations within the local and the formal knowledge system will be assessed. This will give important orientations for the implementation of the LILAC-scenarios, and for further development.
Land use has a history. The present and future of land use, and its influences on the users and on the biodiversity, are based on this history. Through understanding of the history of land use in the Naban He Nature reserve and in Yunnan Province we get important orientations on the likelihood of the introduction, adoption and diffusion of innovations.
Changes of land use interact with changes in ecology, society and economy. A precondition for behaviour change of land users is information that emerges from interactions in the relevant knowledge system. The local and the formal knowledge system and their development provide the information base for individual acquisition of knowledge and the decisions about land use. These issues are to be assessed and reconstructed for the research site. Consequences for extension and education activities will be shown.
