1.4 SLM技术问卷的参考
2. SLM方法的描述
2.1 该方法的简要说明
This focus group discussion was composed of 15-20 participants: community elders, youth, (males and females as informed by local beliefs and norms), retired government officials.The aim of community focus group discussion was to find land users’perception and behaviour on land uses and SLM. It was organised by Ministry of Forestry, LADA coordinator and national consultant. The target group was land users, local authorities, youth, small stock owners, retired government officials. The target group mandate was also to draw the community map which also showed the land uses and resources. This focus group discussion gave researchers information on land uses, natural resources, prior SLM interventions, and many more.
2.2 该方法的详细说明
该方法的详细说明:
1. Conducted an initial field visit before the focus group discussion (FGD) with the selected villages within the sub-catchment: A tour by road with a few key informants to familiarise officers with the study area, land uses, also the extent and severity of degradation and types and extent of conservation and improved land management measures with the result being a community territorial map.
2. The aim of Focus Group Discussion (FGD) is to obtain information about range of land-users, their individual and communal management regime and the history of their area. This method is used as the first stage of implementation in LADA local level assessment.
3. The FGD representatives consisted of different social groups (i.e. both men and women – and different age groups) between 15-20 members. These members together with technocrats sat at round table set up which enabled free and interactive communication and feedback.
Each study area had its own list of FGD questions and facilitated them accordingly. Field Assessments confining; six (6) study areas in each sub-catchment.
•Vegetation assessment.
•Soil assessments which entail soil erosion and soil properties (2 study areas).
•Water resources assessment with key informant interviews on water resources.
•Household livelihood assessments.
•Land use systems
4. The target group mandate was also to draw the community map which also showed the land uses and resources. This focus group discussion gave researchers information on land uses, natural resources, prior SLM interventions, and many more. This approach enabled land users to present all their views without fear or dominance by other members. They realised that they have their resources in abundance, however, they need to improve their status as their livelihoods entirely depends on their good use.
5. It was organised by Ministry of Forestry, National University of Lesotho, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Water, Ministry of Local Government,LADA coordinator and national consultant. The target group was land users, local authorities, youth, small stock owners, retired government officials.
6. The advantage of FGD was that the land users were taught on income generating activities such as orchard establishment, food processing, vegetable production under shade nets/tunnels (climate smart agriculture). They did not like the timing of FGD because it interfered with their haresting season, it took longer than it was intended and the weather conditions were not condusive as it was too cold and on the second day, snow began to fall.

3.4 有关SLM技术选择的决策
具体说明谁有权决定选择要实施的技术:
- 主要是SLM专家,咨询土地使用者之后
解释:
Technocrats recommend SLM activities to land-users who in turn adopt the suggested technologies attributed to their impact land-users' livelihoods
明确做出决策的依据:
- 对充分记录的SLM知识进行评估(基于证据的决策)
4. 技术支持、能力建设和知识管理
4.1 能力建设/培训
是否为土地使用者/其他利益相关者提供培训?:
否
4.2 咨询服务
土地使用者有权使用咨询服务吗?:
是
指明是否提供了咨询服务:
- 在土地使用者的土地上
- 在固定中心
说明/注释:
There are farmer-farmer visits facilitated by extension workers. There are also agriculture resource centres whereby farmers visit to get more information.
4.3 机构强化(组织发展)
是否通过这种方法建立或加强了机构?:
- 否
4.4 监测和评估
监测和评估是该方法的一部分吗?:
否
4.5 研究
研究是该方法的一部分吗?
是
明确话题:
- 社会学
- 经济/市场营销
- 生态学
提供进一步的细节,并指出是谁做的研究:
Each researcher facilitated their area of speciality and this enabled the question-answer session to be easy. community members had bottle-necks which researchers ironed. The challenge in extension services is means of transport to the landusers due to terrain of our country, so extension service is somehow compromised and not acessible at all times.

Land users were only given a theory on the importance of SLM technologies not how technologies are constructed. other researchers were novice in land management, it is though this approach where they learned facilitation skills. In Lesotho, land management activities are implemented mostly by women, youth and elderly because men in the villages work in South African mines. The picture of FGD also portrays more women than men

- 减少土地退化
Lesotho's landscape is severely eroded. Land users would like use SLM as an approach to halt land degradation
6.3 方法活动的可持续性

6.4 该方法的长处/优点
土地使用者眼中的长处/优势/机会 |
---|
Knowledge management |
It can easily be implemented |
It brings different land user groups together |
编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的长处/优势/机会 |
---|
other key resource persons such as local authorities liked this approach because it them ideas on which resources are available in the catchment and how communities utilise them for survival. The land users on the other hand ound this approach very useful as they were empowered and allowed to say their views without fear or favor as they were informed that there were no wrong answers. everybody participated fully |
6.5 该方法的弱点/缺点以及克服它们的方法
土地使用者认为的弱点/缺点/风险 | 如何克服它们? |
---|---|
It is limited to key informants | It should be replicated within the same community but, with different participants (Key) |
Some key informants tend to dominate the discussion | The facilitator should be observant and try to control dominating participants |
It may become a platform for conflicts | Local authorities should be present in case conflicts arise |
