Kritis : Jurnal Studi Pembangunan Interdisipliner. Vol. XX, no. 3, Desember 2008 – Maret 2009, p.219 – 229 ; Developing partnerships that support biosecurity and sustainable livelihoods in regional and remote communities have at their core, sound processes and structures to share, create and recognize emergent and local knowledge. Through their analysis of the key elements of integrated rural development in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, Blyth et al. (2007) note a sustainable livelihood approach requires the integration of physical, economic, political and sociocultural environments. Blyth et al. (2007) also outline the range of opportunities for integrated rural development through enterprise development at a local level. A key element of natural cultural resource management is the management of plant biosecurity through local and national partnerships betujeen community members, land managers, regional bodies, government and researchers. The management of plant biosecurity at the community level has the potential to be embedded into enterprise models that draw on local knowledge and build local capacity and build connections with national policy approaches. This paper reports on a macro- analysis of enterprise development and training models in Indigenous communities across Australia and considers the potential role of enterprise training in embedding plant biosecurity management at a local level to achieve environmental, economic, cultural and social sustainability.

Praise in the context of behavior-specific encouragement, positive reinforcement, and recognition may provide a linkage in positive youth development to teen leaders' feelings of contribution and motivation at 4-H Camp. Existing literature on praise in academic settings, combined with literature related to positive youth development, organized camping programs, and 4-H, lends credibility to the theory that there is an influence on teen attitudes and participation regarding contributing to their community at 4-H Camp. Practical implications are presented, along with suggestions for future research.

Human development theories identify child-initiated play as the primary source of early learning. Accordingly, the role of early childhood educators is to utilise the natural medium of play as a context for learning; an educational approach known as play-based learning. Recently, Western
Australia (WA) has experienced an erosion of play-based learning opportunities across the early childhood education (ECE) spectrum, potentially violating children's rights. This paper presents research evidence related to this concerning issue. A self-completion, electronic questionnaire
was distributed to educators through via several WA early childhood advocacy organisations. Participants (n=204) shared their perceptions about the availability of play-based learning opportunities for young children. Results identified perceived barriers and enablers to providing play-based
learning in WA early childhood education settings that impact on children's wellbeing, development and learning. Assessment of play-based learning provision differed significantly between school-based and early education and care-based educators. Participants supported the implementation
of a WA Play Strategy.
