- traditional knowledge, Evans, cited reference, This paper focuses on the environmental knowledge of farming communities in Africa. How can the researcher investigate such knowledge? How could be used in rule development processes? The scope in limitation of farmers, knowledge concerning agricultural pests is illustrated in the case study. The process of knowledge formation is a consequence of the kinds of observation, the former is able to make. Inaccuraacies may stem from observational limitations. On the other hand, the farmers own point of view reflects dimensions of experience of which the research or extension agent may be unaware. These dimensions may be vital to the success or failure of rural development schemes, and should be systematically incorporated into research and development process. This in itself implies new approaches to eliciting information, which hand over the initiative and interviews to respond reportory credit analysis is discussed as an example of a relevant methodology.

- Notes:
- traditional knowledge, Evans, cited reference, This review of the discussions of a workshop analysis indigenous technical knowledge (IDK) , examines its potential for rule development, and outlines implications that issues. ITK is compared with institutionally organized science and technology. It can be seen in terms of stock in process: a rich, but underutilize stock of knowledge; and potential of processes through which knowledge can be generated, a simulated, and transmitted. Implications include the use of new methods for eliciting ITK, changes in the values and reward systems professionals and officials concerned with rule development, and the need for further research and analysis.

- Notes:
- traditional knowledge, Evans, cited reference, The body of knowledge, scientific needs used by rule people is well developed, and can make an important contribution to development, but there's a conflict between it and modern knowledge. Modern knowledge is and instrument of power belonging to the technician. By emphasizing the government agents knowledge, development projects devalue traditional rule People's knowledge and the knife and creativity. We need new institutional ways of release in the creative abilities of roll people. In order to achieve a synthesis of traditional and modern knowledge.

- Notes:
- traditional knowledge, Evans, cited reference, This article argues that concern with technical knowledge, which is indigenous to disadvantaged rule groups, must go beyond, an interest in extracting fragments of it to make marginal improvements to existing types of R and D project. The main issue must be beats to which such groups are involved in, and have influence upon, the technical change which affects their lives. Arrange a potential uses for indigenous technical knowledge is therefore far wider than those involved in Rand D, and the central concern must be with augmenting the whole spectrum of indigenous capabilities to create, transform and use technical knowledge. This implies there must be a shift from the dominant approach to the rule of technical change, which really seeks to introduce into roll society techniques conceived and developed outside it. Rather, one must seek the technical development of roll society, which enables it more effectively to pursue and control its own path of technical change.

- Notes:
- traditional knowledge, Evans, cited reference, Although has for long been the subject of academic concern, it is only recently that interest has been shown in the possibility of harnessing it for the purpose of development. This paper reviews, a selection of the literature, considers various accounts of the nature of such knowledge can describe some cases, including those -- such as botanical knowledge and awareness of changes in ecosystems in whichITK often has a comparative advantage. The paper considers alternative modes of interaction between such knowledge and organize science in the feasibility and various situations. ITK Suggestions are made about how research can improve our understanding of and in large, it's practical role in development activities.
