Abstract

Abstract In Canada, small craft harbors (SCHs) are a federal government responsibility under Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). SCHs are economic centers for many rural coastal communities in Canada. By studying the role of SCHs on livelihoods one can delineate their importance to the users and community. The pilot study utilized semi-structured telephone interviews to speak with 19 participants from Nova Scotia, Canada. Participants included users and harbor authorities on whether the SCH they use or manage impacts their livelihood or community. Results indicate SCHs provide an essential avenue for users and communities to support their livelihoods. However, the degree to which they were essential varies between SCHs. SCH users have sufficient capital assets (financial, natural, human, social, and physical) to use the facilities. However, several participants indicated they lack funds from the federal government to maintain their SCHs. Therefore, two critical hindrances in supporting prosperous livelihoods were funding from the federal government and SCHs that lack access to a harbor authority.

加拿大新斯科舍省小型船港试点研究:检查与这些设施相关的生计

在加拿大，小型工艺港(SCHs)是加拿大渔业和海洋(DFO)下的联邦政府责任。学校是加拿大许多沿海农村社区的经济中心。通过研究健康中心在生计方面的作用，人们可以描绘出它们对用户和社区的重要性。这项初步研究采用半结构化电话访谈的方式与来自加拿大新斯科舍省的19名参与者进行了交谈。参与者包括使用者和港务当局，讨论他们使用或管理的污水处理厂是否影响他们的生计或社区。结果表明，卫生服务提供者为用户和社区提供了支持其生计的重要途径。然而，它们的重要程度因学校而异。学校使用者有足够的资本资产(财务、自然、人力、社会和物质)来使用这些设施。然而，一些参与者表示，他们缺乏联邦政府的资金来维持他们的企业。因此，支持繁荣生计的两个关键障碍是来自联邦政府的资金和无法获得港务局的私营企业。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
