ABSTRACT

Fishers need to feel they are valued partners in fisheries and coastal management. In 2012, the multi-stakeholder participatory action research Group POPA (For Small-Scale Fisheries in Piriápolis) held the First Small-Scale Fisheries Festival in Piriápolis, Uruguay. We investigated the change the Festival produced in the social representation of local fishers and how it relates to fishers’ wellbeing aspirations. Negative values in fishers’ self-perceptions were found. The positive social change triggered by the Festival tackled mainly fishers’ material wellbeing aspirations (boats, fishing gear for better catch and better income). We also discuss how the change proved relevant at different transformative scales.

摘要

渔民需要感到他们是渔业和沿海管理中重要的合作伙伴。2012 年，多利益相关方参与式行动研究小组 POPA（皮里亚波利斯小型渔业）在乌拉圭皮里亚波利斯举办了第一届小型渔业节。我们调查了节日在当地渔民的社会代表性方面产生的变化，以及它与渔民幸福愿望的关系。在渔民的自我认知中发现了负面价值。节日引发的积极社会变革主要解决了渔民的物质福利愿望（船只、渔具以获得更好的捕捞量和更高的收入）。我们还讨论了这种变化如何在不同的变革尺度上被证明是相关的。
