    Gender analysis on the modes and extent of participation in Community-based Fishery Resource Management (CFRM) project in Malalison island, Culasi, Antique
    Benliro, Patriana Z P.; Eraste, Concepcion E. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)
    A Gender Analysis on the Modes and Extent of Community Participation on CFRM in Malalison Island, Culasi, Antique was conducted in June 2002-Feruary 3003. The study aimed to determine the modes and extent of participation in Community- based Coastal Resource Management through the Community-based Fishery Resource Management (CFRM) Project using Program Monitoring with interview and focused group discussion. The difference on the modes and extent of participation of sex and membership in the association was also assessed. The study found out that male and female modes of participation in CFRM had no significant difference. The difference was in the extent of their participation, which was caused by the social roles they played. On the other hand membership in the organization was found to be a significant variable in analysing the modes and extent of participation.

    Willingness-to-pay for the conservation of mangrove site in Dumangas, Iloilo
    Agapito, Arianne I.; Guadalupe, Ronell D. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study was designed to determine the willingness-to-pay of the residents of Dumangas, Iloilo for the conservation of the existing mangrove sites in their area. Data were gathered through personal interviews using an interview schedule among 240 household representatives equally distributed in six barangays: three coastal, three noncoastal. Results of the study showed that most of the study participants were aware and knowledgeable about the existence of mangroves, its uses and benefits. The popular barangays identified to have mangrove sites included Sapao (31.33%) and Ermita (32.92%). Using dichotomous choice willingness-to-pay method with randomly assigned bid prices, results showed that most of the study participants both from coastal (89.17%) and non-coastal barangays (91.67%) were willing to pay for the conservation of mangroves. The main reason cited was that they want to participate in programs by the local government that aims to conserve the environment. When adjusted to level of certainty, there was slight difference in the number of study participants who were willing-to-pay; mean willingness-to-pay amounted to Php 86.47 without adjustment to level of certainty and Php 76.17 when adjusted to level of certainty. Knowledge index rating, civil status and bid price were the significant factors that affect the willingness-to- pay without adjustment to level of certainty at 5% level of significance. When adjusted to level of certainty, knowledge index rating (5%) and bid price (1%) were the significant factors. Annual surcharge in Community Tax is the preferred payment vehicle of the study participants for the conservation.
