A 1: Potential and constraints of participatory research approaches for sustainable development in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia - Phase 1

Description: Das Projekt "A 1: Potential and constraints of participatory research approaches for sustainable development in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia - Phase 1" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Hohenheim, Institut für Agrar- und Sozialökonomie in den Tropen und Subtropen durchgeführt. Research in this project area is directed at the process of cooperation between researchers, farmers and local institutions (A1) and between researchers of different disciplines and cultural backgrounds (A2). Subproject A1 aims at evaluating the concept of integrating farmers into the research process. In this phase of the SFB the subproject intends to assess the potential and limits of participatory research and to design and test suitable institutional frameworks for integrating local knowledge and experience of farmers, extension agents, development projects and NGOs in the research process. It will analyze which forms of participation are suitable in which phases of the research process, differentiated by different research subjects. The project will pay particular attention to gender-specific issues of participation. Research under this subproject will be carried out by the SFB's Hohenheim coordinator in close cooperation with the Thai and Vietnamese counterparts. Closely linked to these activities will be the second subproject A2. It will focus on specific issues of interdisciplinary cooperation within an intercultural context. Interdisciplinary cooperation between German, Thai and Vietnamese research institutions and their researchers will present a particular challenge. Moreover, participating farmers in the mountainous areas belong to different ethnic groups with their own cultural traditions and values which again may differ from those of researchers and their institutions. In the SFB's first phase work will focus on research processes in Vietnam. It will observe the process and raise the sensitivity of actors involved with the objective of ensuring the effectiveness and smooth running of interdisciplinary and intercultural cooperation. It is expected that the results will contribute to conceptualizing a theory of intercultural research cooperation. In the next phase of the SFB it is intended to extend the work of subproject A1 to the interaction between farmers in the uplands and lowland dwellers. It is also planned to link up more closely with research programs of other organizations (e.g. IRRI, ISBSRAM, ICRAF, CIRAD). The interdisciplinary-intercultural component (A2) is planned to be expanded in the subsequent phase to include also Thailand.
