University Students’ Perceptions of Common-Resource Dilemmas – the Need for Adjusted Curriculum in Indonesia

  • Chapter
Biology Education for Social and Sustainable Development

  • 1065 Accesses

Abstract

Many of Indonesia’s forest resources are degraded by over-utilisation due to de facto resources that are common property in the open-access areas. Consequences include social, economic, ecological, cultural as well as worldwide repercussions on resource degradation. The purpose of this study is to examine the pre-concepts of Indonesian biology student teachers and agronomy students on local resource conservation issues – overexploited common-resource dilemmas in Central Sulawesi, especially of the non-timber forest product, rattan.
