Background

One of the largest

wetlands in southern
Australia
Attracting 150 birds species
in dry seasons
A officially game reserve for
duck hunting since 1967

Why do
we do
this
research
Duck hunting in bool lagoon is frequently a point of debate
Conflict betweet hunters and animal groups
Environmental problems
Governments policies and regulations advocacy and the communities empowerment
involved to meet up with Ramsar agreement

Research questions

How will the communities in Bool lagoon are engaged to

achieve sustainable duck hunting?

What will be the appropriate strategy/ model to engage the

communities in Bool lagoon games reserve to achieve
sustainable duck hunting?

Literature Review.

Six elements of Literature

Review
A list
A search
A survey
A vehicle for learning
A research facilitator and
A report
. . . ( Bruce, 1994)

Some Reasons for Thorough

literature review
To identify gap in the literature,
To carry on from where others have already
reached,
To identify other people working in the same
fields,
To provide intellectual context for the project
and position in it relation to others
Bourner (1996)

Library and literature

review
Use indexes and abstracts
conduct of detailed bibliographic searches
conduct and collect data meaningfully
describe critique
relate each source to the subject of inquiry
present the organised review logically and cite
them correctly.
Afolabi
(1992)

Research Objective

How will the information be used?

Identify the research

problems
What is the

information

What do we
hope to achieve
General
objective
Specific
objective

 Explore the games reserves

existing management strategy as
it affects the identified
stakeholders

Seek the way to improve the

relationship/collaboration between
them to achieve sustainable of
duck hunting in Bool Lagoon

Purpose of the research

Specific purpose
To Review of the existing interrelationship among the identified
stakeholders.

To identify gap in engagement process

To establish a new framework for engagement process in consultation

with the stakeholders

To provide Recommendation of Implementation of the proper model of

community engagement

Stakeholder Analysis
Identify people, groups, and institutions that will
influence your initiative (either positively or negatively)

Anticipate the kind of influence, positive or negative,

these groups will have on your initiative

Develop strategies to get the most effective support

possible for your initiative and reduce any obstacles to
successful implementation of your research

Stakeholder Analysis
Hunters and relevant practitioners in the
recreation industry
The research communities-scientists, academic
organizations
Conservationists including animal rights campaign
groups
The relevant government departments which
managing the Bool Lagoon game reserves

1. Hunters and relevant practitioners in the recreation industry:

Legal hunting
Cultural and economic significance

2. The research communities-scientists, academic

organizations:

relevant government departments which managing the

Bool Lagoon game reserves:

Governmental announcement of duck hunting season

Limitation and available species of duck hunting

Research
methodology

QUALITATIVE METHOD

FOCUS GROUP
A form of group interview that capitalises on communication
between research participants to generate the priority issues .

PARTICIPATION OBSERVATION
As a form of traditional ethnographic research, to help learn
the perspectives held by study populations and design conflict
resolution technique
There will be multiple perspectives within any given community
and we need to understanding the interplay among them

SAMPLING

The focus group will be generated by purposive sampling, by contacting the

participants through office.

The participant observation will be carried out by staying at the Bool lagoon
interacting the different groups to record the activities of the groups.

ANALYSIS
THEMATIC ANALYSIS
Thematic analysis focuses on
identifiable themes and patterns of
living and/or behaviour
FOUCAULDIAN DISCOURSE
discourse analysis obscures distinct
approaches in which 'discourses' can
combine different elements of text,
systems of thought and action
NARRATIVE ANALYSIS
Understanding the empirical evidence of
narrative form
