Determinants of the Willingness-to-Participate in an Environmental Intervention in a Beirut Neighborhood 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Participatory environmental management can empower communities and enhance the sustainability of environmental interventions.
However, existing power structures and inequalities along class, gender, or ethnic lines could prevent part of the community
from accessing the full benefits of the intervention. An analysis of determinants of the willingness-to-participate in an
environmental intervention in a Beirut neighborhood is conducted. Socioeconomic, health-risk distribution, and perception
of community efficacy are used as predictors. A randomly selected sample of residents was surveyed. Respondents were asked
to specify the frequency with which they were willing to be involved in an intervention to address priority environmental
problems in the neighborhood. Bivariate and multivariate ordinal regression analyses were conducted. Tests of significance
were based on the 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the odds ratio (OR). Males versus females (OR = 4.89, P < 0.001), respiratory patients versus nonsufferers (OR = 5.65, P < 0.001), tenants versus house owners (OR = 2.98, P < 0.01), and the less educated versus the more educated (OR = 2.42, P < 0.05) were significantly more likely to be willing to participate. The reluctance of female community members to participate
might be a major hindrance to community-based environmental protection and special strategies must be devised to overcome
it. On the other hand, respondents suffering from an illness perceived to be related to environmental toxins are likely to
be strong participants in environmental conservation efforts. Finally, the study yielded no evidence that belief or lack of
it in the efficacy of community action is a good predictor of the willingness-to-participate in such action. 相似文献

We report a case of monochorionic diamniotic twin gestation confirmed by ultrasound visualization of the thin intertwin-dividing membrane at 32 weeks' gestation. Ultrasound at 36 weeks failed to demonstrate the thin dividing membrane. The pregnancy ended a few days later with spontaneous vaginal delivery of the first twin. The second twin was in transverse lie with no membranes that could be felt around. Severe fetal heart rate deceleration developed, prompting delivery by emergency caesarean section. Cord entanglement was noted at the time of delivery, which resulted in severe perinatal morbidity of the second twin. The antepartum rupture of the dividing membrane must have happened some time between 32 and 36 weeks. The etiology for this intrauterine disruption is unknown. A review of the literature about the antepartum rupture of the intertwin-dividing membrane is described, along with its possible causes and complications. In addition, we discuss possible causes of incorrect amnionicity determination, and thus how to minimize these pitfalls. We conclude that antepartum disruption of the intertwin-dividing membrane is more common than previously thought. Moreover, prenatal ultrasonographic visualization of a dividing membrane in a diamniotic twin pregnancy does not rule out future change in this environment to a monoamniotic one, with all its perinatal morbidity and mortality complications, which result mainly from cord entanglement. This suggests a modification in the method and frequency of the prenatal fetal well-being follow-up, as well as the time and mode of delivery. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The objective of this article is to propose a program for the integrated coastal zone management that is required to stimulate
and guide sustainable development of the Mediterranean coastal zone of Turkey.
Improved data collection, quality control, analysis, and data management will provide a firm basis for future scientific understanding
of the East Mediterranean coast of Turkey and will support long-term management. Various innovative procedures were proposed
for a promising ecosystem-based approach to manage coastal wetlands in the Mediterranean: remote data acquisition with new
technologies; environmental quality monitoring program that will provide a baseline for monitoring; linking a Geographic Information
System (GIS) with natural resource management decision routines in the context of operational wetlands, fisheries, tourism
management system; environmental sensitivity analysis to ensure that permitted developments are environmentally sustainable;
and use of natural species to restore the wetlands and coastal dunes and sustain the system processes. The proposed management
scheme will benefit the scientific community in the Mediterranean and the management/planning community in Eastern Turkey. 相似文献

Hourly atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration measurements are available from 1996 to present for a suburban site within the growing metropolitan area of Kuwait City. Analyses of this record reveal (a) an annual cycle with highest values in February and lowest values in September reflecting the growth and decay of vegetation in the Northern Hemisphere as well as fluctuations in motor traffic, (b) a weekly cycle with highest values during the weekdays and lowest values during weekends, and (c) a diurnal cycle with highest values after sunset when the local atmosphere becomes more stable following vehicular emission of CO2 throughout the day and lowest values in late afternoon following several hours of relatively unstable conditions. During the daytime, CO2 concentrations are related to wind direction, with westerly winds (coming from the desert) promoting lowest CO2 concentrations. At night, lowest CO2 levels are associated with higher wind speeds and winds from the north. The findings from the Kuwait City area, particularly when contrasted with the situation in Phoenix, further our understanding of the dynamics of CO2 levels in urban environments. 相似文献

冀西北间山盆地区景观格局变化及优化研究——以河北省怀来县为例 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
景观格局的改变会对区域生态系统功能产生影响,对其格局进行优化调控是维持区域生态系统功能稳定性的重要手段。研究以怀来县为例,通过解译判读1993、2003和2013年3期遥感影像,分析了研究区景观格局特征,发现研究区景观破碎化程度呈上升趋势,结合各景观类型在地形位上的分布特征和生态系统服务功能,运用最小累积阻力模型构建了生态源地、生态廊道和生态节点等景观组分,整体连通性指数(dIIC)和可能连通性指数(dPC)评价结果表明河流交汇处及水库周边等区域对景观连通性重要值最大,然后划分了景观生态维持区、景观生态恢复区、景观生态功能强化区和景观生态功能保护区,为该地区景观生态优化提供指导 借鉴。 相似文献
