وصف موجز لأفضل الممارسات

the use of the maps and atlases developed has provided info on best location for the N.P buffer zone, security and safety thinking in location of hurricane shelters (most in flood zone on coast), thus the use of these maps empowers the community to think in terms of mitigating and even adapting to unforseen natural and human induced problems, also in protecting their livelihoods and culture. |

على أساس أي من المعايير و/أو المؤشر (المؤشرات) (التي لا تتعلق بالاستراتيجية) تم اعتبار الممارسات والتقنيات المناسبة على أنها "أفضل"؟

based on the Millinium Development Goals - Poverty aliviation, sustainable use of Biological resources and capacity development; as members of the community where trained to use Global Positioning Systems (GPS's) of advanced quality to gather field data and later process those using Geografic Information Systems (GIS). those maps will later be placed at the village councils in the various communities to assisst them in future development planning. |

المشكلات الرئيسية التي تمت معالجتها من خلال أفضل الممارسات

Land zoning (best location for infrastructure planning & appropriate agriculture/fishing areas)|Capacity development (use of modern GIS/GPS technology to produce Asset maps and vulnerability atlases by Extension officers and village members)|Sustainable use of Biological resources (appropriate zoning of fishing and agricultural areas)

حدد المشكلات الخاصة بتدهور التربة والتي تمت معالجتها من خلال أفضل الممارسات

It addresses the issue of appropriate location for infrastructure development and placement of soil excavated, also in the agriculture areas where is the best place for farmlands and farm access roads (types of crops which protects soil loss as this area is part of a watershed for numerous rivers), and best areas for the National Park buffer zone.|

صف التأثير على المكان (التأثيران الرئيسيان حسب الفئة)

under SLM-SPACC(special project for adaptation to climate change)synergy-some greenhouses are proposed to help with irrigating agri-lands to increase production
hope to increase fish ketch through zoning area
lower loss of top soil and sedimentation on coral reefs through sustainable infrastructure planning and location
increase agriculture earnings from increased production
possible relocation of some infrastructure, example hurricane shelters that may be within flood zones.|
capacity of villagers increased
Buffer zone for National Park established
better fishing planning and location

صف التأثيرين الرئيسيين خارج الموقع (أي التي لا تحدث في الموقع ولكن في المناطق المحيطة)

we have done similar mapping in neighboring communities but went further by actually diving and taking fotos of the coral reefs against quarrying activities on westcoast.
buffer zone continues around the perimeters of the National Park into other villages

التأثير على التنوع البيولوجي والتغير المناخي

شرح الأسباب:

in that the planning of appropriate locations for hurricane shelters, for example, would help mitigate on the quantity of natural and physical resources lost (including human lives)|
with the construction of the greenhouses in the interior for irrigating crops and drinking water for livestock, helps farmers adapt to extreme dry conditionss which increases every year since 2005|
yes in that it gives info on location, types, quantity, sex, habitat info, etc. on the Flora & Fauna Sp's we encounter and the Resource Management Plans would include how to address the Natural/Biological resources and the problems which may exist.|

المتعلقة بالموارد البشرية

positive to have stakeholders aware of project and programs to increase participation|incentives are essential to increase participation and interest in processes|involving the local governments and villagers increases our National capacity levels in Community resource management and planning (at local level)

المتعلقة بالجوانب المالية

good and timely planning avoids setbacks and loss of time in executing programs

المتعلقة بالجوانب الفنية

aquisition of advanced technical equipment increases productivity and avoids waste of time in the field, example, older GPS units have very poor satelite reading and precision and shuts down during field work with lack of satelites|
