ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the results and analysis of
field research in El Quisco. Every tool or exercise
is presented in the form of a table that includes
its purpose, participants and other basic data;
which is then followed by a corresponding
analysis (see methodology Chapter One). The
pictures and figures show either the direct
flipcharts of every tool produced by the partici-
pants or a redrawing of it. The chapter is divided
into three main sections and 12 sub-sections. Sub-section two displays the results of the
village maps as perceived by participating men
and women. Section three develops a historic
profile of the fishing village. This is followed by
sub-section four, which presents reasons for the
introduction of the El Quisco MA, followed by
how the fishers perceive the concept of sustain-
able development (issues assessed with the help
of the stepping stones and drawing concept
tools, respectively). The fifth sub-section deals
with the institutional arrangement of the Un-
ion. It is complemented with the Venn diagram
tool that illustrates the institutional linkages
between the Union and the surrounding actors,
including an evaluation of their role in relation
to the Union. An assessment of the committee
structure of the Union is also considered.
