SIEM REAP, Cambodia \u2013 From looking at religious merit release practices in and around Siem Reap, to exploring \u201cpet culture\u201d and animal welfare in households, to investigating the effects of noise pollution on a vulnerable bat population, students at The School for Field Studies in Cambodia are doing more than just studying abroad.<\/p>\n

These students are investigating environmental concerns that face Cambodian communities today with hopes that their research can help inform environmental policy and action in the future. Through their programs, SFS is training students to do community-relevant research \u2013 that is, research that can make a difference.

Through their month-long directed research projects, students from the U.S. work with a faculty mentor and translator to formulate a hypothesis, conduct research interviews with community members, and analyze and present their data.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey work incredibly closely with their principle investigator or faculty mentor, and those faculty mentors develop the overarching research agenda and the research question because it\u2019s important for it to tie into our strategic research plan,\u201d said Georgina Lloyd Rivera, Ph.D., SFS Cambodia center director.<\/p>\n

Each SFS center has a strategic research plan that governs each semester\u2019s projects and outlines the center\u2019s community partners and some of the country\u2019s major environmental challenges, Lloyd Rivera said. The plans are developed through meetings with government officials, non-governmental organizations, private sector groups and other stakeholders in order to ensure that the research done at SFS is relevant to the surrounding community. In Cambodia, this plan encompasses four major research themes: Environmental Governance and Natural Resource Management, Biodiversity Conservation and Ecology, The Human-Environment Nexus, and Sustainable Tourism Development.<\/p>\n

Like the strategic research plan, each individual directed research topic is decided in collaboration with SFS\u2019 community partners and stakeholders, Lloyd Rivera said, but projects can also build on previous research or emerge from the short-term field work that the students and faculty do throughout the semester. For example, they might do comparative studies on the same project in both the wet and dry seasons, or they might do similar projects in different areas over the course of multiple semesters in order to create a larger data set that gives a more complete look at an issue.<\/p>\n

\"SFS
Student John Dzurec (center) interviews a community respondent (foreground).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This primary research \u2013 where students are collecting and analyzing the data themselves as opposed to pulling data from previous research \u2013 gives students first-hand experience with research processes and allows them to participate in research that matters locally.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very unique opportunity for students to do undergraduate research, primary research, to explore research questions that are really going to contribute to the development of knowledge in their host country and are really going to support the improvement of conservation outcomes or management outcomes or governance outcomes,\u201d Lloyd Rivera said. \u201cI think it\u2019s really beneficial for the students for the skills that they gain, but it\u2019s also very rewarding for students to contribute to this process of reciprocity of the research.\u201d<\/p>\n

The research projects are conducted individually or as part of a team, depending on the needs of the project, she said. Out of this semester\u2019s seven projects, four were based in Siem Reap, where the SFS center is located, and three were conducted in Mondulkiri Province in eastern Cambodia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re looking a lot at perceptions of dog ownership in Siem Reap, so how that plays in with sterilizations and vaccinations and overall dog welfare,\u201d said Brenna Prevelige, a rising senior from Bucknell University. \u201cThere’s a pretty large overpopulation of dogs right now which causes a lot of ecological and social threats to humans, so we’re trying to kind of understand perceptions and attitudes towards dogs in order to understand how to best address that problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SFS<\/p>\n

Prevelige (right) partnered with Monika Metro (left), a rising senior from Virginia Wesleyan University, to speak with families that owned or took responsibility for a dog. They wanted to compile a data set that expanded on a previous study about pet culture and dog welfare in rural areas by speaking to people within Siem Reap\u2019s Svay Dangkum commune.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re also trying to look at the welfare of the dogs – specifically household dogs – and how the households are taking care of them, what type of medical care they’re providing the dog, what type of non-medical care they’re providing the dog with, and with that, where they’re getting their medical care and is it appropriate protocol,\u201d Metro said.<\/p>\n

Through their work, which was conducted with support from the Svay Dangkum commune authority and Sala Kanseing village authority, they assessed body and skin condition of 50 dogs and spoke with 35 families.<\/p>\n

\"SFS<\/p>\n

Colin Meenk, a rising senior from Whitman College, used his directed research project to study how noise pollution at the Royal Independence Gardens in Siem Reap affects a vulnerable bat population that lives in the trees there.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy project studies the Pteropus Lylei population, which is Lyle\u2019s Flying Fox \u2013 bats \u2013 in the Royal Gardens of Siem Reap, Cambodia,\u201d Meenk said. \u201cIt is assessing anthropogenic stressors on them, such as noise, number of people, etc., and also other independent variables such as temperature and weather conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SFS<\/p>\n

Through this project, conducted with permission from the General Directorate of Environmental Protection and the Department of Air Quality and Noise within the Ministry of Environment, Meenk spent 20 hours recording surrounding noise levels beneath the bat colony\u2019s trees, counting the number of people in the defined area and using a video camera propped on an upturned laundry basket to tape the bats\u2019 movements for later analysis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big picture here is studying the ability of species to adapt to their urban environments,\u201d Meenk said.<\/p>\n

Though her project was based in Siem Reap, Adriana Salse, a rising senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, spent much of her data collection period traveling to wats (pagodas) both in and outside of the city, talking to monks, nuns and others about religious merit release, merit donation and mercy release.<\/p>\n

Merit release is the practice of obtaining an animal \u2013 commonly a bird, turtle or fish \u2013 and praying over or blessing it before releasing it in order to bring the releaser good karma or good health. Through her directed research, which was completed in conjunction with the Department of International Cooperation within the Ministry of Cults and Religions and the Alliance for Religions and Conservation, Salse looked into what animals were being released, why people were releasing, and what people knew of the practices\u2019 origins in order to gain a better understanding of the practice and its potential impacts.<\/p>\n

\"SFS

\u201cThere hasn\u2019t been a lot of research done on merit release in Cambodia \u2013 I think there\u2019s only been really one major study done in Phnom Penh on the release of wild birds \u2013 so there is a lack of information out there on what these practices entail and the possible ecological effects of these practices,\u201d Salse said. \u201cSo the study was focusing on getting background information on the logistics of these practices and understanding the origins and cultural perceptions of these practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SFS<\/p>\n

The final Siem Reap-based project examined solid waste management in the city\u2019s central communes. The project, which was completed in collaboration with the Siem Reap Provincial Government and Department of Environment, was split between four students and looked at policy, affordability and community perceptions surrounding solid waste management.<\/p>\n

\"SFS
Student John Dzurec (center) and program assistant Tony Yon (right) speak with interview respondents.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThe main goal of the study is to collect data on different household perceptions of solid waste management \u2013 so, understanding what it\u2019s worth to people, whether or not they participate in paying for the service, basically just what their ideas are for cleanup in the community as well as in Siem Reap in general,\u201d said John Dzurec, a rising senior from Miami University.<\/p>\n

\"SFS

Maya Glicksman, a rising senior from Brown University, hopes that the information she and her fellow students gathered can help inform policy and management practices in Siem Reap \u2013 an idea that speaks to the backbone of the School for Field Studies\u2019 practices: non-extractive research that stays in and benefits the communities it concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to do something that was relevant to the community,\u201d Glicksman said. \u201cIt\u2019s cool to me that there\u2019s never been a study done like this in Siem Reap.\u201d<\/p>\n
