The overexploitation of forest resources in the charcoal production basin of the city of Lubumbashi (DR Congo) is reducing the resilience of miombo woodlands and threatening the survival of the riparian as well as urban human populations that depend on it. We assessed the socio-economic value and availability of plant-based non-timber forest products NTFPs in the rural area of Lubumbashi through ethnobotanical (100 respondents) and socio-economic (90 respondents) interviews, supplemented with floristic inventories, in two village areas selected on the basis of the level of forest degradation. The results show that 60 woody species, including 46 in the degraded forest (Maksem) and 53 in the intact forest (Mwawa), belonging to 22 families are used as sources of NTFPs in both villages. Among these species, 25 are considered priority species. NTFPs are collected for various purposes, including handcrafting, hut building, and traditional medicine. Moreover, the ethnobotanical lists reveal a similarity of almost 75%, indicating that both local communities surveyed use the same species for collecting plant-based NTFPs despite differences in the level of degradation of the miombo woodlands in the two corresponding study areas. However, the plant-based NTFPs that are collected from miombo woodlands and traded in the urban markets have significant economic value, which ranges from USD 0.5 to USD 14.58 per kg depending on the species and uses. NTFPs used for handicraft purposes have a higher economic value than those used for other purposes. However, the sustainability of this activity is threatened due to unsustainable harvesting practices that include stem slashing, root digging, and bark peeling of woody species. Consequently, there is a low availability of plant-based NTFPs, particularly in the village area, where forest degradation is more advanced. It is imperative that policies for monitoring and regulating harvesting and promoting the sustainable management of communities’ plant-based NTFPs as a priority, be undertaken to maintain their resilience.

“…En étudiant un phénomène tel que les influences externes dans un processus politique national, l'objectif de ma recherche visait à constituer un échantillon comprenant les principaux acteurs ayant participé aux événements. En même temps, parce que mes informateurs devaient être sélectionnés de façon non aléatoire et raisonnée (purposive sample), mon enquête ciblait une population difficile à joindre (Marpsat & Razafindratsima, 2010), à la fois non visible, méfiante et surexposée aux chercheurs.…”

Malgré un débat académique qui offre un cadre conceptuel riche quant aux influences de certains acteurs internationaux sur la scène nationale, les chercheurs éprouvent des difficultés méthodologiques quand il s'agit d'étudier qualitativement l'impact des influences externes dans une transition démocratique. Ces enjeux sont plus marqués lorsque la recherche cible un pays du monde arabo-musulman. L'identification des acteurs impliqués, l'accès aux informateurs, les biais d'interaction lors des entretiens et le positionnement du chercheur par rapport à un sujet complexe constituent quelques-uns des obstacles rencontrés. Comment, alors, mener une étude sur le contexte international d'une transition démocratique dans le monde arabe? En s'appuyant sur les expériences de recherche de l'auteur sur le terrain en Tunisie, cet article propose diverses stratégies susceptibles d'augmenter les chances de réussite d'une enquête qualitative sur l'impact des influences externes dans un processus de démocratisation d'un pays du monde arabe.

“…Bearing in mind the characteristics of hidden or hard-to-reach populations as laid out by authors such as Wiebel (1990), Heckathorn (1997), or Marpsat and Razafindratsima (2016), we can define them as a group of people that exist at all socioeconomic levels, although they are more conspicuous from the public's standpoint in more disadvantaged settings. They are associated with illegal or dangerous behavior and thus they are a negatively perceived or stigmatized population segment.…”

Translation and interpreting in public services is an activity often performed by practitioners with no background training in translation and interpreting. The challenges in accessing this population of research participants in a previous study (Lomeña Galiano, 2018) led us to label them a hidden population. If these groups mostly known as “non-professionals” remain in the shadows, because of social dynamics, there is a risk that the collection and production of data are biased due to the lack of representativeness of the samples, with respect to a part of the population that is in charge of a large number of translation and interpretation assignments, especially in public service settings. There is, however, a methodological gap and a lack of guidance for those researching in the area as to how to negotiate the framework for the participation “non-professional” translators and interpreters in the most efficient way. To address that issue, this paper presents some tools used in social and human sciences to improve relationships with hidden populations. Specifically, this article focuses on the interaction between researcher and participants and the relevance of the notions of reflexivity and rapport (tuning) in this interaction. The aim of this study is to identify key points in the methodology to approach the population in participatory studies in order to facilitate access and the consequent participation of hidden populations in studies on translation and interpretation in public services.Resumen: La traducción e interpretación en los servicios públicos es una actividad desempeñada, con frecuencia, por personas sin estudios en traducción. La dificultad de acceder a dichas personas en un estudio anterior (Lomeña Galiano, 2018) nos llevó a asignarles la categoría de población oculta. El riesgo de que estos grupos conocidos especialmente como “no profesionales” permanezcan en la sombra debido a las dinámicas sociales es que se produzcan sesgos en la recogida y producción de datos debido a la no representatividad de las muestras respecto de una parte de la población que se encarga de gran cantidad de los encargos de traducción e interpretación, especialmente en los servicios públicos. Se constata, no obstante, un vacío metodológico que oriente a quienes investigan en el área para negociar el marco de la participación de traductores e interpretes “nativos” o “no profesionales” del modo más eficiente. Por ello, este artículo expone algunas herramientas empleadas en ciencias sociales y humanas para mejorar la relación con grupos de población oculta. En concreto, la propuesta se centra en la interacción entre el investigador y los participantes y la relevancia que adquieren en esa interacción las nociones de reflexividad y de rapport (sintonía). Se pretende identificar puntos clave en la metodología de aproximación a la población en estudios participativos para facilitar el acceso y la consiguiente participación de poblaciones ocultas en estudios de sobre la traducción e interpretación en servicios públicos.
