■尽管人们对幸福的测量和概念化越来越感兴趣,可持续发展研究的整合,以及对不同福祉结果之间的关系的理解,是有限的。许多研究集中在单数,经常客观衡量,结果,不承认可用措施的广度。这种方法可以产生关键的主观信息,可以对其进行探索,以了解参与者的行为和反应,被遗漏在研究和政策中。这项研究探讨了客观和主观的福祉结果,以及它们是如何联系的,在环境脆弱的背景下。福祉和环境服务本质上是相互联系的,因此,需要适当的政策解决方案来解决人类需求和支持生态系统的压力。
■本文使用二元逻辑回归模型,和定性参与式农村评估方法,为了了解环境条件,包括气候灾害和景观特征,与在VoltaDelta内经历不同客观/主观福祉结果的家庭相关,加纳。
■混合方法方法突出了受干旱和侵蚀影响的内陆农业区之间的不同关系,和沿海/河流,暴露于洪水和盐碱化的城市周边景观。农业领域与“贫穷但快乐”的结果相关联,而城市周边的景观与“不贫穷但不快乐”联系在一起。“借鉴现有文献,以及定量和定性结果,假设这些不同的结果是由生计脆弱性的差异驱动的,与其他人的相对比较,对气候灾害的反应,和个人主义/集体福祉概念化。
■我们的研究得出结论,环境条件通过不同的机制影响客观和主观福祉。在执行和监测政策时,可持续发展研究应纳入客观和主观措施,以便更全面地了解,改善,环境脆弱地区的福祉。
UNASSIGNED: Despite a growing interest in the measurement and conceptualization of wellbeing, the integration within sustainability research, and the understanding of how different wellbeing outcomes relate, is limited. Many studies focus on singular, often objectively measured, outcomes, without acknowledging the breadth of available measures. This approach can result in crucial subjective information, which can be explored to understand actors\' behaviors and responses, being omitted from research and policy. This
study explores objective and subjective wellbeing outcomes, and how they relate, within an environmentally vulnerable context. Wellbeing and environmental services are intrinsically interlinked, therefore, appropriate policy solutions are required to address human needs and pressures on supporting ecosystems.
UNASSIGNED: This paper uses binary logistic regression modelling, and qualitative participatory rural appraisal methods, to understand the environmental conditions, including climatic
hazards and landscape characteristics, associated with households experiencing different objective/subjective wellbeing outcomes within Volta Delta, Ghana.
UNASSIGNED: The mixed method approach highlights a differing relationship between inland agricultural areas impacted by drought and erosion, and coastal/riverine, peri-urban landscapes exposed to flooding and salinization. Agricultural areas associate with \"poor but happy\" outcomes, whereas peri-urban landscapes associate with being \"non-poor but unhappy.\" Drawing on existing literature, and both quantitative and qualitative results, these varying outcomes are hypothesized to be driven by differences in livelihood vulnerability, relative comparisons to others, responses to climatic
hazards, and individualistic/collective wellbeing conceptualizations.
UNASSIGNED: Our
study concludes that environmental conditions influence objective and subjective wellbeing through different mechanisms. Sustainable development research should incorporate both objective and subjective measures when implementing and monitoring policy to more comprehensibly capture, and improve, wellbeing in environmentally vulnerable locations.
