EndNote 學習日誌

EndNote 是一個編輯討人厭reference的東西

我認為這樣的軟體,至少要user friendly一點

但是...好吧....我知道....我該去列reference了

明天,登記正式發薪水人員

明天要早早去找師母跑薪水的東西

等著領我人生第一份薪水

感覺很微妙

雖然...我不敢預期以我遲到早退的態度....能夠拿多少><...

2. Effective management systems

It is difficult to manage effectively without basic businessmanagement systems.

Some suggestions are:
*straightforward changes in management practices
*followed by small-scale projects that could enhance capacity
*larger-scale projects to address major management issues

3. Developing clear management targets
*Site values however should also reflect other natural values such as geological or representative ecological processes, as well as any cultural or social values that arelocally, nationally or globally important to stakeholders.

*It proved a challenge to agree on management objectives, inseveral of the pilot sites, particularly for the areas that did not have agreed or effective management plans.

4. Increasing site knowledge
*There is an on-going need to collect data and develop,expand or refine monitoring systems to assess the overall condition of the site and to ensure that site management is leading to the expected conservation outcomes.

*Focus on effective and critical oucome evaluation.

Fund (Cost): US$30,000 per site/per year
took four years form undertake to monitor system

Lesson learned:
1. Working in partnership
2. Effective management systems
3. Developing clear management targets
4. Increasing site knowledge

1. Working in partnership
(1) It is rigorous (hard) for site managers to assemble a team of stakeholder representatives to work with them to develop and support the M&E process.
(2) It should avoid overlapping of activities by different stakeholders and thus maximize the use of their resources.
(3) Although there are some stakeholder dialogues, but most are just provide information for elicit rather than working with managers and share information and opinions and ensure effectivesite management
(4) Stakeholder input need to be strengthened. There remains a strong tendency for reports produced solely or largely by managers to present a ‘positive’view of management, with limited external input.

*Initial Evaluation*

1.Be used to gain baseline data on the current situation
2.Information can also be used to develop addition M&E systems to
(1) formulate small-scale response
(2) large-scale proposals for areas where adaptations to management have been identified (ex. add staff training)
3. Also used to test the various methodologies developed to assess the elements of the IUCN-WCPA Framework

*Results of EoH project

1. As to first aim...

--The research team found that will depend on the managers & management agency awareness and got benefits or not

--Some suggestions: (1) working with managers and staff during periods of management reviews (ex. develop MP together); (2) institutionalize M&E at the agency level.

2. Many PAs can't finish all WCPA framework in first evaluation

3. The success has been mixed in :

(1) Integrating the results of assessment

(2)Resulting adaptive management with management planning

(3) Reinforcing the underlying needs to ensure the sites can implementation

Enhacing our Heritage--Part B--Hockings et al., 2006

Framework: WCPA Framework

Indicators and tools: Build up a picture of the adequacy & appropriateness of management and the extent to which objectives are being achieved (Learned by TNC & Biodiversity Support Program)

Suit for all natural WH sites --> also can adapted to fit all PAs

Real Practice : (4 years)
1. Initial Evaluation (first year)
2. Second Evaluation (fourth year)

Enhacing our Heritage (EoH) Project
Aim:
1. establish and integrate assessment, monitoringand reporting programmes
2. implement the findings of assessments byproviding support for training, small-scaleinterventions and if possible assistance inpreparing and funding large-scale projects.
Team:
1. Head--Hockings
2. Team Members -- from Europe and Latin America
3. Managed by -- University of Queenland, Australia
4. Partner-- Staff and partners in nine pilot WH sites
(3 of Africa, 3 of Asia, and 3 of Latin America)
Approach:
Not top-down system-->
EoH toolkit are used to help all stakeholders (include managers) to
(1) assess current activities, (2) identify gaps, and discuss how problems might be addresses.
