The Demise of the Commercial Banana Industry in West Cameroon

Abstract

In little more than 20 years, the banana industry in West Cameroon rapidly boomed, and just as quickly declined. The banana was selected by officials of the newly created Cameroons Development Corporation in 1946 to be its major money crop, and from 1947 to 1957, the industry's income steadily rose to a high of over $6,000,000 for a year's production. During the next dozen years, production declined to the point where no new plantings are contemplated, and for all intents and purposes, the industry is almost dead. Factors accounting for the demise of this banana industry include: unsuitable climatic conditions; seemingly inevitable blights; loss of Commonwealth preference on exports to the United Kingdom; and foreign competition. Producers of almost all commercial agricultural products in tropical Africa contend with precisely the same risks and/or problems that the Cameroon banana grower faced. As a case study, the Cameroon banana situation reveals that sometimes all risks were poor ones, and therefore changes in land use had to be made, utilizing other, more stable commercial crops.

短期旅游流时间分布对区域旅游空间结构的响应——以云南省黄金周旅游客流为例

区域旅游空间结构和旅游地客流时间分布特征历来是旅游地理学的重要研究领域,但国内外学者对两者间的内在关系关注较少。中国黄金周旅游流是典型的高强度的短期旅游流。选择云南省的昆明、大理、丽江、西双版纳4 座重点旅游城市的7 处代表性景区为案例,建立黄金周客流周内分布偏度指数G,并使用相关分析及Person 相关系数,发现存在景区短期旅游流时间分布对区域旅游空间结构的响应现象,其机制为：在假日制度时间约束下,距离旅游集散中心的时间距离成为影响各城市及其代表性景区黄金周客流时间分布的重要影响因素,时间距离越大,则黄金周客流峰值出现时刻越迟,G值越高;而部分景区同时受不同尺度区域旅游空间结构的影响,出现客流时间分布对区域旅游空间结构的多重响应现象。     

Crossing Boundaries in a Collaborative Modeling Workspace

There is substantial literature on the importance of bridging across disciplinary and science–management boundaries. One of the ways commonly suggested to cross boundaries is for participants from both sides of the boundary to jointly produce information (i.e., knowledge co-production). But simply providing tools or bringing people together in the same room is not sufficient. Here we present a case study documenting the mechanisms by which managers and scientists collaborated to incorporate climate change projections into Colorado’s State Wildlife Action Plan. A critical component of the project was the use of a collaborative modeling and visualization workspace: the U.S. Geological Survey’s Resource for Advanced Modeling (RAM). Using video analysis and pre/post surveys from this case study, we examine how the RAM facilitated cognitive and social processes that co-produced a more salient and credible end product. This case provides practical suggestions to scientists and practitioners who want to implement actionable science.
