November 2024　Overseas research　Hopeson Kasiya

From November 15th, 2024 to January 3rd, 2025, Hopeson Kasiya, a long-term research fellow at the University of Tokyo, conducted research in Malawi.
He conducted face-to-face interviews and questionnaires with local residents and fishermen to grasp and evaluate the current situation regarding resource management activities in three fishing villages on Lake Malawi (Musaka, Mazeze, and Malembo). He also surveyed on awareness of changes in the social-ecological system, and from these results, he was able to collect a huge amount of data that was enough to compile recommendations for improving resource management activities in the future.
