Society, Culture, and Tourism </strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Aim </strong>\r\n\r\nThis sub-theme is meant to investigate and conserve socio-cultural values and historical and natural heritage resources so as to harness, promote and communicate them for sustainable development of the society.\r\n\r\n<strong>Description </strong>\r\n\r\nSociety and culture is a conceptually based research theme that intends to promote awareness of the socio-cultural continuities, problems and changes within societies and cultures. Its results could provide knowledge to critically analyse complementary and contrasting viewpoints about people, societies, cultures, environments, and their interactions across time. This particularly addresses societal issues, various heritages, linguistic and literary resources and their usefulness for tourism. Such socio-cultural resources are better communicated to the society across the globe through different media. The role of media for tourism, development, good governance, education etc. will be addressed.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis sub-theme specifically draws on cross-disciplinary problems and social issues such as sociology, anthropology, political science, philosophy, social psychology, social ecology, language, literature, communication, culture, and heritage resources, and tourism.  All our present ecological problems arise from deep-seated social problems imbedded within the socio-cultural values and norms. Conversely, present ecological problems cannot be clearly understood and sustainably resolved without resolutely dealing with societal problems. For example, apart from those problems, natural catastrophes and economic, ethnic, cultural, and gender inequality challenges lay at the core of the most serious ecological dislocation the country faces today.\r\n\r\n<a name=\"_Toc389157679\"></a><strong>Research Areas</strong>\r\n\r\n<a name=\"_Toc389157680\"></a><em>4.1.1.

It also deals with interlinking education with research results, with community based education, with industries as well as businesses. The sub-theme also focuses on finding ways of creating enabling environments and facilities for teaching and learning, including for special-need students. Educational standards, dimension, models, and tools for quality assurances are also the thrust of this theme. The sub-theme also deals with research on student assessment, guidance and counselling, and the link between quality assessments and policy interventions as well as functional adult literacy and other forms of non-formal education.\r\n\r\n<a name=\"_Toc389157685\"></a><strong>Research Areas</strong>\r\n\r\n<a name=\"_Toc389157686\"></a><em>4.2.1.

It touches up on all the nature, norms, roles and evolution of institutions in the economy and other vital institutions and organizations. The governance aspect of this study focuses on understanding how the governance system in Ethiopia facilitates or hinder the sustainable development process. It also inquires on the policy, legal and institutional frameworks of state machineries and customary systems that define, support, and stimulate economic and social interactions. This sub-theme with its wide areas of concept, context and content is, thus, identified to contribute to our understanding of the multi perspectives features, structures and functions of the rule of law, land administration, conflict management, real world economic institutions and organizations.\r\n\r\n<a name=\"_Toc389157701\"></a><strong>Research Areas</strong>\r\n\r\n<a name=\"_Toc389157702\"></a><em>4.4.1.

This sub-theme with its wide areas of concept, context and content is, thus, identified to contribute to the understanding of the multi perspective features, structures and functions of the real world economic institutions and organizations. Under this framework, the multidirectional influences of the functions of institutions with poverty and food insecurity, human development, environment, markets, overall economy and ecology are the issues to be explored. This also encompasses how to profile, shape and enhance the roles of institutions in allocating and channelling resources (natural, financial, human, physical and social capital) into productive investment activities in optimal, cost effective and sustainable manner in the future. Diagnostic and interrogative rigors of making institutions function also enhances the process of decision making for appropriate allocation of resources, optimization of the returns thereof and profiling as well as taking calculated risks in the process of resource mobilization, utilization, investment and development. Therefore, within this sub-theme, institutions as central functional units of research-based operation and innovation are to be considered in prioritizing the efforts and allocation of resources for research.<a name=\"_Toc389157709\"></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Research Areas</strong>\r\n\r\n<a name=\"_Toc389157710\"></a><em>5.1.1.

Basic sciences research lays the foundation for advancement in knowledge that leads applications of sciences to problem-solving, occasionally as a result of <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity\">unexpected discoveries</a>.  Pure basic sciences may also focus on <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability\">refuting or supporting theories</a> that explain how this world operates, what makes things happen, etc. It is the source of most new scientific ideas and ways of thinking about the world. Basic science research generates new ideas, principles and theories, which may not be immediately utilized but instead, form the basis to modern progress and development of different fields.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most scientific progress made so far are the results of findings obtained through basic or curiosity driven research. Today\'s computers for example, could not exist without the pure research in mathematics conducted over a century ago, for which there was no known practical application at that time. Pure research rarely helps practitioners directly with their everyday concerns. Nevertheless, it stimulates new ways of thinking about deviances that have the potential to revolutionize and dramatically improve how practitioners deal with a problem. A new idea or fundamental knowledge is not generated through pure basic sciences research alone but new knowledge could be built through it.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/09/Theme-6-Description.pdf\"><u>For details, click here</u></a></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-Theme-VI-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2017</u></a></p><p><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/2016-Theme-VI-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2016</u></a></p><p> </p>', 'Theme VI-BSR', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '521-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-10-20 13:19:00', '2017-10-20 13:19:00', '', 521, 'http://localhost/?p=3248', 0, 'revision', '', 0),
