    Valuing the conservation of sea turtles in Brgy. Lawi, Jordan, Guimaras: An application of discrete choice experiment method
    Aborka, Rio Rina B.; Gange, Gay Margaret A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-06)
    To increase the population and remove the endangered status of sea turtles in Brgy. Lawi, Jordan, Guimaras, an effective and sustainable conservation program is a must. Using discrete choice experiment valuation method, this study determined the residents’ preferred conservation scheme for sea turtles in Brgy Lawi and estimated the conservation value for these creatures. A total enumeration of 204 residents was employed in the study. Improvements in listing status and the establishment of conservation facilities were the identified attributes of conserving sea turtles in the area. Results show that the establishment of conservation facilities with souvenir shop attribute level was mostly preferred. Income and age significantly affect the choice of the residents for improvements in a conservation scheme. Also, results show that the residents have positive attitudes towards conserving sea turtles and are willing to pay for it. The inclusion of an eco-tourism scheme, such as the addition of a souvenir shop that would open opportunities and generate income while still promoting the protection and conservation of sea turtles in the area is thus recommended. For further studies, the research recommended to include more attributes that could capture a wider scope of characteristic from the resource or good being valued.

    Factors affecting women's participation in small-scale fisheries in Miagao, Iloilo
    Abordaje, Ira; Nocon, Kimberly (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-05)
    Small-scale fisheries is considered as a source of income that contributes to food security and livelihood sustainability, especially in coastal communities. However, women who fish are marginalized due to traditional gender roles. Their contributions to fisheries are frequently overlooked in economic analysis, fisheries management, and policy decisions. Women also uniquely experience multiple burdens due to gender roles and social expectations. This study analyzed the factors affecting women's decision to participate in small-scale fishing in Miagao, Iloilo. The study used surveys and the data were analyzed through binary logistic regression. Results showed that age, educational attainment, marital status, family income, and husband's income were significant in predicting women's participation. Furthermore, women are given secondary, easier tasks than men, participating in fisheries impacts women’s economic contribution and empowerment, and women in this industry still allot time for reproductive work despite spending most of their time accomplishing productive work in small-scale fisheries.
