Abstract

Abstract Networks play an important role in conservation by facilitating and strengthening collaboration among conservation organizations. This study explores the structural characteristics of networks that could promote or inhibit conservation in Trinidad and Tobago. To achieve this, a questionnaire was sent out to all identifiable conservation actors on the island. Social network analysis software was used to analyze the data and generate network measures and maps. Results show that there are 69 conservation organizations on the island and NGOs play an important role. The overall network density and centralization are low while network cohesion across most categories of actor subgroups was positive. Ego network measures on centrality and brokerage were used to provide recommendations that could help to strengthen collaboration between organizations. As the first study of its kind using network analysis applied to conservation in this geographical context, it can help to inform future conservation research and initiatives.
探索特立尼达和多巴哥的保护行动者网络
摘要网络通过促进和加强保护组织之间的合作,在保护方面发挥着重要作用。本研究探讨了可能促进或抑制特立尼达和多巴哥保护的网络的结构特征。为了实现这一目标,向岛上所有可识别的保护行为体发出了一份调查问卷。社交网络分析软件用于分析数据并生成网络测量和地图。结果显示,岛上有69个保护组织,非政府组织发挥着重要作用。总体网络密度和集中度较低,而大多数类别的参与者子组的网络凝聚力为正。关于中心性和中间性的自我网络措施被用来提供有助于加强各组织之间合作的建议。作为第一个将网络分析应用于这一地理背景下的保护的此类研究,它可以帮助为未来的保护研究和举措提供信息。

期刊介绍: Society and Natural Resources publishes cutting edge social science research that advances understanding of the interaction between society and natural resources.Social science research is extensive and comes from a number of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, political science, communications, planning, education, and anthropology. We welcome research from all of these disciplines and interdisciplinary social science research that transcends the boundaries of any single social science discipline. We define natural resources broadly to include water, air, wildlife, fisheries, forests, natural lands, urban ecosystems, and intensively managed lands. While we welcome all papers that fit within this broad scope, we especially welcome papers in the following four important and broad areas in the field: 1. Protected area management and governance 2. Stakeholder analysis, consultation and engagement; deliberation processes; governance; conflict resolution; social learning; social impact assessment 3. Theoretical frameworks, epistemological issues, and methodological perspectives 4. Multiscalar character of social implications of natural resource management
