Sustainable Watershed Management in Panabo City, Davao del Norte

Author(s) Recson B Engalgado
Country Philippines
Abstract This study evaluated the course of community participation in sustainable management of watersheds in Panabo City, Davao del Norte, in the Philippines. A quantitative, non-experimental research method analyzed the variances, and one-way analysis of variance is used to discuss the finding involving factors that impact community awareness and involvement in watershed activities. This simply means that while stakeholder participation is communicating an alternative way of water management, some barriers exist, such as limited awareness, socio-economic hurdles, and institutional deficiencies. This study shows that most community members do not know their responsibilities in watershed conservation, resulting in participation limitations. Also, the most important factors affecting participation include socio-economic variables like income levels and resource access. It recommends implementing educational campaigns to produce well-informed citizens, integrating local knowledge in decision-making, and formulating incentive strategies such as payments for ecosystem services if the community would engage in using them. Successful case studies show that collective efforts of local communities, NGOs, and government bodies bear fruit in improving watershed conditions. This research is geared toward providing realistic and immediate courses of action toward the promotion of sustainable practices and cooperation of stakeholders so that the integrity and resilience of Panabo's watersheds could benefit greatly from climate change and other environmental challenges.
