摘要

河流集水区的退化是全世界关注的一个重大问题。环境教育是减少或制止环境退化的重要工具。当前人类面临的一些环境问题是由社会对环境教育的误解直接或间接造成的。为了解决河流流域退化问题,本研究符合环境教育和可持续发展全球行动计划(GAP)的优先领域5,该领域强调,研究人员需要通过教育干预策略,在地方一级加速解决现有社会问题的可持续解决方案。摘要目的:本研究旨在探讨以环境教育为导向的崇圭河流域管理。以往对崇威河流域环境恶化的研究缺乏教育手段。这项研究的目的是:评估正在进行的环境教育方案的性质,如果有的话。研究方法:本研究以批判现实主义的研究观点为指导,采用定性研究方法中的个案研究设计。目标人群包括选出的10名当地人、10名小农、2名传统领袖和2名专家。参与者采用同质目的抽样,专家采用专家目的目的抽样。数据收集工具包括访谈时间表、焦点小组讨论指南和参与者观察指南。数据通过专题分析进行分析。数据验证是通过三角测量方法,即通过镜像数据三角测量技术。研究结果:从研究结果中,确认了崇圭河流域的环境退化问题,并发现该地区正在开展环境教育,但由于环境教育缺乏教育方法,环境教育不足以解决环境退化问题。结果,我们提出了一项环境教育计划,以解决集水区的不良活动。建议:根据调查结果,该研究建议,应该在地方一级成立一个环境论坛,将私营部门纳入其中,制定一项赋权计划,如养蜂,并在集水区推广最佳做法。

MANAGEMENT OF ZAMBIA’S CHONGWE RIVER CATCHMENT THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION.
Introduction: Degradation of river catchment is a major concern world over. Environmental Education is a vital tool to reduce or stop environmental degradation. Several of the environmental problems presently faced by humankind are directly or indirectly caused by misunderstanding of the society about Environmental Education. To address river catchment degradation, this study is in line with priority area 5 of the Global Action Programme (GAP) on Environmental Education and Sustainable Development which emphasises the need for researchers to accelerate sustainable solutions to existing social problems at local level through educational intervention strategies. Purpose: This study explored the management of river catchment through Environmental Education in Chongwe river catchment. Prior studies on the Chongwe river catchment lacked education approach in addressing the environmental degradation in the catchment. The objective of this study was: to assess the nature of Environmental Education programme taking place if any. Methodology: This study was guided by critical realism view on research .The study used case study design within the stream of qualitative approach. Targeted population included selected ten (10) local people, ten (10) small scale farmers, two (2) traditional leaders and two (2) experts. Participants were sampled through homogenous purposive sampling while experts were sampled using expert purpose purposive sampling. Data collection instruments included interview schedule, focus group discussion guide and participant observation guide. Data was analyzed though thematic analysis. Data validation was through triangulation method that is through mirror data triangulation techniques. Findings: From the study findings, the environmental degradation issues in Chongwe river catchment were confirmed and it was found that Environmental Education was being offered in the area but it was not adequate to address the degradation because the Environmental Education offered lacked education approach. This resulted in proposing an Environmental Education programme to address the bad activities in the catchment. Recommendations: Based on the findings, the study recommended that, there should be formation of an Environmental Forum from the local level incorporating the private sectors, creation of an empowerment scheme like bee-keeping and promotion of best practices in the catchment.
