Choosing a site for a case study

As I was thinking yesterday about my site/case study, after discussion with Ian and after reading the guidelines on cat v, it seems that i need to take a second look on how to designate area worthy of protection. Because from there i should be able to get the variables neeeded to measure in my research.It must meet the criteria of Cat V as set out by IUCN guidelines.

IUCN guideline states that the best is for the Govt itself to designate an area. It can also come from the NGO or from the residents themself. To be effective, the area must get the blessings and "endorsement" from the residents occupying the area. They must be made to understand that Cat V. is beneficial to them and the community.
