Climate Change Impact on Solar Power Generation : A Sustainable Energy Planning Perspective for Kenya

Chisika Sylvester Ngome,염춘호 사단법인 한국융합기술연구학회 2023 아시아태평양융합연구교류논문지 Vol.9 No.10

In the wake of the rising impacts of climate change, solar energy is poised to be crucial in the future of global energy security and sustainable development. However, in developing countries such as Kenya, there are limited studies on the consequences of climate change on solar power generation. This study was conducted with the aim of assessing how climate change affects solar power generation in Kenya, with the goal of informing strategies to bolster its resilience, adaptability, and overall energy planning. From the theoretical background of sustainable development, the research utilized a case study design using secondary data sources to unveil multifaceted aspects. Key secondary data examined included key policy documents and other documents retrieved from official websites. Through document content analysis, the evaluation focused on the vulnerability of solar power resources to climate change impacts by categorizing the findings into three main themes: the impact of climate change on solar energy generation, strategies for mitigation and adaptation, and policy implications for Kenya's overall energy planning. The results revealed a pressing need for explicit studies on how climate change affects solar power generation in Kenya. Estimating these potential impacts is crucial to ensuring the security, reliability, and sustainability of solar energy resources. Recommendations included pursuing adaptation strategies and technological innovations, such as integrating solar energy with other sources, while also expanding feed-in tariff incentives and policy interventions that promote sustainable solar energy utilization and further research. By implementing these measures, Kenya can enhance the long-term viability and resilience of solar energy in the face of a changing climate.

Comparative Analysis of Participatory Forest Management in Kenya: Embaringo and Gathiuru Community Forest Associations

Chisika Sylvester Ngome,염춘호 사단법인 한국융합기술연구학회 2024 아시아태평양융합연구교류논문지 Vol.10 No.1

As forest ecosystem services continue to decline, participatory forest management (PFM), a collective approach to forest management, is gaining traction as a means to promote livelihoods and conservation. As such, a number of analytical tools have been deployed in order to explore ways of enhancing PFM. Sequential Power Analysis (SPA) is rapidly becoming a robust approach for evaluating many natural resource sustainability outcomes in both developed and developing countries around the world. However, information on applying SPA to enhance participatory forest management is scarce. This study aimed to apply SPA to two community forest associations (CFAs) in Kenya in order to contribute to an improved understanding of the strategies for enhancing community involvement in forestry. A case study approach and literature review using document content analysis were used to evaluate secondary data from internet sources and office records at Kenya Forest Service. Key documents reviewed include policy papers and other documents. Through document content analysis, for the first time, the evaluation focused on the implications of SPA application in selected PFM scenarios by categorizing findings into three main themes: power delivery, power adjustment and power background and the policy implications on forest management in Kenya. The study found that achieving responsible forest management in Kenya depends on a delicate balance of ecological, social, and economic factors. PFM is a promising approach; however, evaluating its implementation in the Embaringo and Gathiuru CFAs using SPA reveals complex power dynamics. In Embaringo, historical and sociocultural factors have affected local communities. In Gathiuru, similar power imbalances exist, but the CFA is engaged in income-generating projects with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), showing progress. However, to fully realize PFM's potential, Kenya should enact a national benefit-sharing policy to ensure fair resource benefit distribution. This study calls upon policymakers and key PFM stakeholders to embrace SPA as a crucial analytical tool for evaluating PFM decisions.

Insurance Penetration and Inclusive Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from Panel Linear and Nonlinear Analysis

Horvey Sylvester Senyo,Osei Dennis Boahene,Alagidede Imhotep Paul 한국국제경제학회 2023 International Economic Journal Vol.37 No.4

This study contributes to the emerging literature on the insurance industry in sub-Saharan Africa by investigating both the linear and nonlinear relationship between insurance penetration and inclusive growth. We employ a panel dataset in a system generalised method of moments approach and a dynamic panel threshold to account for endogeneity and turning points in the insurance inclusive growth nexus. The linear evidence suggests a significant positive impact of insurance penetration (life, nonlife and total) on inclusive growth. Further, there exists a significant threshold level of nonlife and total insurance penetration, which countries must surpass to realise the positive impact of insurance on inclusive growth. The paper argues that below this threshold value, the relationship tends to be negative, suggesting a U-shaped relationship. We found no significant threshold for the life insurance industry. Important policy implications for fine-tuning the insurance industry to deliver the intended effects of managing risk in the wider economy are discussed.

Implications of the Association Between Forest Cover and the Central Bank Rate of Return on Sustainable Forest Management in Kenya

Chisika Sylvester Ngome,고주연,염춘호 사단법인 한국융합기술연구학회 2023 아시아태평양융합연구교류논문지 Vol.9 No.8

Forests play an important role in human well-being and sustainable development. However, in the wake of the rising deforestation and climate change, information on how monetary policy factors, especially the Central Bank Rate of Return (CBRR) affect sustainable forest management in developing countries is scarce. This study examined the relationship between CBRR and forest cover in Kenya for the period of 2006–2022, with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the factors influencing sustainable forest conservation and management. A literature review and quantitative data analysis using pearson's correlation, multiple regression and ANOVA showed a weak, negative correlation between the CBRR and forest cover (r =-0.36, p<0.05), indicating that a higher CBRR is generally associated with lower forest cover value in Kenya. This result indicates that there could be some relationship, but the data points remained scattered such that the correlation is closer to zero (R-squared = 0.130). Moreover, the correlation coefficient also suggests that the relationship between the two variables is weak. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) found a statistically significant difference between the means of the CBRR and forest cover groups (F (1,32) = 21.93, p< 0.000), supporting the idea that the CBRR could have an impact on the forest cover percentage in Kenya. However, this impact could be weak and influenced by other factors not captured in the model. This paper recommends that forest management stakeholders in Kenya consider the potential influence of changes in the CBRR on forest cover and the need for a coordinated effort from policymakers, researchers, and local communities to address the complex issues driving forest cover change in the country.

Q Methodology provides the opportunity for undergraduate students to explore in details attitudes associated with a topic that is salient to them. This paper describes how Q Methodology was used in an undergraduate mass communication research class to determine attitudes toward higher education in Louisiana and then to devise a targeted communication product (advertisement, PR or journalistic piece) that would appeal to specific attitudinal segments. A detailed discussion of the procedures used for this study draw on William Stephenson``s view of the concourse and self-referent statements that underpin Q Methodology. Suggestions for how to manage a large classroom project for undergraduates are provided. Q 방법론은 학부생들이 그들에게 중요한 사안과 관련한 세부적인 태도들을 발견하기 위한 기회를 제공해 준다. 본 논문에서는 학부의 매스커뮤니케이션 연구 방법 수업에서 Q 방법론을 통해 어떻게 루이지아나의 대학 교육에 대한 태도 유형을 발견하고, 이를 통해 특정 태도방식의 유형들에 소구하기 위한 목표 커뮤니케이션 수단(광고물, PR 또는 신문 기고)을 만드는 것에 대해 설명하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Q 방법론을 뒷받침하는 윌리엄 스티븐슨의 통합체에 대한 견해와 자아참조적 진술문들을 설명하기 위해 본 연구에 사용된 과정들을 상세히 논의하고 있다. 또한 인원이 많은 학부생들의 수업 프로젝트를 관리하는 방법에 대한 제안도 제공되고 있다.
