Abstract The study explores the Korekore culture in a bid to show its relevance to modern society's natural resources management in Zimbabwe. The main argument of the article is that the Korekore people have indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) that need to be tapped and integrated in modern-day natural resources management in Zimbabwe and elsewhere. The article argues that if blended with modern technologies, IKS can serve as effective intervention strategies that can mitigate the challenges faced in natural resources management. Adopting a qualitative research design in a case study approach, purposive sampling and snowballing techniques were used to select participants with in-depth knowledge on traditional beliefs and practices in natural resources management. The data collection tools included interviews, questionnaires, and peer-reviewed journal articles analysis. The study observed that the Korekore cultural beliefs and practices are not only relevant at local level, but are consistent with the principles of the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations and United Nations Working Group on Traditional Resources Rights.

津巴布韦 Hurungwe 区自然资源管理中土著知识系统的整合

摘要 本研究探讨了 Korekore 文化，以展示其与津巴布韦现代社会自然资源管理的相关性。这篇文章的主要论点是 Korekore 人拥有土著知识系统 (IKS)，需要在津巴布韦和其他地方的现代自然资源管理中挖掘和整合这些知识系统。文章认为，如果与现代技术相结合，IKS 可以作为有效的干预策略，减轻自然资源管理面临的挑战。在案例研究方法中采用定性研究设计，使用有目的的抽样和滚雪球技术来选择对自然资源管理的传统信仰和实践有深入了解的参与者。数据收集工具包括访谈、问卷、和同行评审的期刊文章分析。该研究观察到，Korekore 文化信仰和习俗不仅在地方层面具有相关性，而且符合联合国土著居民工作组和联合国传统资源权利工作组的原则。
