Expertise Summary

As an interdisciplinary researcher, Tapan applies socio-ecological approaches, frameworks for sustainable livelihoods, and frameworks for natural resource governance for CBFM and the livelihoods of communities in the Global South that depend on forests. His current research examines community participation in peatland restoration and peatland fire management, the connections between urban green spaces and wellbeing outcomes, agroforestry and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and knowledge, attitude, and practise (KAP) studies on waste management and public health. Because of his international collaborations with academics from other nations, including natural scientists and scholars of spatial science, his study also encompasses cross-disciplinary collaboration. His scholarly works have significantly contributed to the global sustainable development because of his multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research, which is strongly related to natural resource sustainability, sustainable land use, climate change mitigation, and socio-economic development.

Current Research

My main fields of research interests include interaction between society and nature toward sustainable management of natural resources and community development. In doing so, I look at context, institutions, governance, livelihood capital and diversifications, and sustainable conservation and livelihoods outcomes. Community livelihoods depend to a larger extend on their natural capital and my research examines intensification of traditional agro-ecological practices (e. g. agroforestry, home gardens, underutilized crops) for sustainable community development. Along with above research interests, my current research also investigates the relationship between small-scale forestry and SDGs, , urban green space and wellbeing outcomes, Urban gardening, and KAP (knowledge, attitude, and practices) studies on public health issues, and other environmental issues including waste management. As such, my research also extends in cross-disciplinary collaboration. Both of my interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research are closely related to the sustainability of natural resources, sustainable land uses, climate change mitigation, and sustainable development, and these research have significant contribution towards sustainable development.

Future Research

In next 3-5 years, I will develop and conduct thematic research on following themes in the Global South:

[Theme A] Forest Resources Governance, Community Forest Management, and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Within decentralized natural resource (forest) governance, community forest management (CFM) is a state approved forest management approach that ensure participation of direct forest users (e. g. local communities) in common decision making, implementation of forest management activities, utilization, and ownership of the benefits of forest management. It is a people-centred approach aiming at to improve livelihoods of forest users, reduce poverty, conserve natural resources and promotes good forest governance. These forests play an important role in reducing poverty, ensuring food security途 human well-being, water conservation, gender empowerment, rural energy source, sustainable economic growth, combating climate change, and promoting sustainable resource use and development. However, evaluation of CFM in terms of progress towards achieving SDGs is scanty (Hiratsuka et al., 2019). Our assumption is that presence of favourable enabling environment (e. g. policy, institutions, effective interactions among actors, good governance) facilitate sustainability of CFM, which in turn help communities to achieve a number of SDGs. We use Ostrom's Design Principles and Socio-Ecological System to understand sustainability of CFM, Natural Resources Governance framework, and the UN SDGs to assess contribution of CFM to sustainable development.

[Theme B] Agro-ecological Practices and Food Security

Agro-ecology means integration of agricultural practices with ecological principles in the design and management of agroecosystems drawing on knowledge of social, biological and agricultural sciences, and integrates these with traditional. Agro-ecological practices (e. g. indigenous farming system, agroforestry practices, urban gardening, etc.) are deeply rooted in the ecological rationale of traditional small-scale farmers in marginal environments who for centuries have developed sustainable farming systems, thrive without agrochemicals, meet local food needs and passed the knowledge from generation to generation, and widely shared with community. It has been recommended that in order to feed nine billion people in 2050 and to improve the situation of the poorest, a fundamental shift towards agro-ecological farming is essential in order to boost food production (IAASTD 2009途 de Schutter 2010, Miguel et al. 2013). Our assumption is that the combined application of ecological principles and local ecological knowledge (LEK) in agroecological practices makes them resilient to changing climate. A climate resilient agro-ecological farming system would be sustainable and contribute to the food security of the communities, and they will in turn maintain their farms following ecological principles and LEK.

[Theme C] Urban Green Spaces (UGS) and Wellbeing

Research on UGS and wellbeing is limited in the Global South. Under this thematic research I focus on urban green space, green exercise, urban gardening, and wellbeing outcomes. Findings of these studies help to suggest evidence-based policy guidelines for relevant authorities.
