Résumé (en anglais)

PART 3. ENHANCING RESILIENCE, ADAPTATION AND SUSTAINABILITY - Linking Resilience, Sustainable Heritage and Community Livelihoods /// The rural landscapes of India are lands of stories, of people and their associations to a deeprooted culture that is closely knit to their natural settings, lending them their complex identity and providing the potential for allowing multidisciplinary research. Dahanu in rural Maharashtra is widely known as the fruit bowl of the Konkan region. Tucked between a range of twelve mountains of the Western Ghats to the east and the Arabian Sea to west, the regional setting makes this place unique, giving it an identity that has groomed different tribes, a large fishing and a farming community occupying specific niches and related occupations. Its customary ways of life are strongly rooted to the cultural wisdom of the local tribes and agrarians. Steeped in its history is also the story of these tribes, the once keepers of the forest and its rich resources, and how external influences led them to become the now workers surviving in a meagre way. Owing to the national notification of the region as an ecologically sensitive zone, its natural settings and agricultural lands are protected from being taken over by large scale industrialization. However the communities here live in an ironic reality, where the same laws which had sheltered their lands have failed to provide alternative ways of development corresponding to their modern economic aspirations. The paper looks at outlining landscape strategies with a strong empathy towards ecology, culture and community to generate innovative and sustainable methods of development that are both economically and ecologically viable.
